Ten tips on skin care by Donna Glazer

  1. DO NOT USE FACIAL WIPES – Their high content of preservatives and perfumes will harm your skin.
  2. DO NOT ASSUME THE SKIN GETS DIRTY – Dirt particles are too large to absorb into the skin and just sit on the surface. A harsh cleanser isn’t necessary, just a gentle cleanser to remove the top layer of grime should suffice.
  3. KEEP EXFOLIATION SESSIONS TO ONCE A WEEK – Scrubbing should be avoided as harsh scrubs remove the skin’s natural oils and can harm the skin in the long run.
  4. AVOID PICKING SPOTS – A spot takes on average 7 days to heal whereas a wound takes up to 28 days.
  5. LESS IS ALWAYS MORE – Do not over load the skin with too many products at risk of reaction.
  6. USE A GENTLE CLEANSER – To remove any make up, grease and grime at the end of the day.
  7. BE SUN SAFE BUT NOT SUN PHOBIC – Vitamin D from the sun is essential for skin and general body health.
  8. MASSAGE YOUR SKIN BEFORE BED – Incorporate a gentle face massage into your skin regime before you go to sleep. This will ease away tension and boost circulation to reveal a relaxed and bright complexion in the morning.
  9. LOAD UP ON VITAMINS – Include high quality vitamins and antioxidants in your skin care regime both orally and topically. Vitamins A , C, D and E are essential as well as omegas 3 and 6, which the body doesn’t produce.
  10. INTRODUCE “PRODUCT COCKTAILING” – Some great ingredients and beauty products work better as a pair rather than by themselves. Take the Dermaviduals Liposome Concentrate Plus, usually prescribed for blemished skin, when combined with Echinacea Extract it can also treat rosacea.

    Let’s talk maxi dresses; specifically, maxi dresses for dressing up. We’ll be up front – we love maxi dresses for dressing up. We’ve seen casual versions up and down the high street for the last few years but we think their place at cocktail parties, posh dinners and nights out on the town have been seriously down-played. Why? Well we love that it’s effortlessly elegant and demure, without needing to look like a ballgown. It can be tight or lose fitting and there’s a whole lot of fabric for patterns to play with. What’s more, you’ll never fall foul of the “knee-length” rules or have to worry about being under…

    Ten facts about Bo London

    Bo London is the first restaurant outside of Hong Kong for Alvin Leung, the chef/patron of the two Michelin starred Bo Innovation. The Mill Street site, based in the heart of Mayfair, reportedly costed Leung £1m to lease and fit. Wood reclaimed from renovations of the Bo London site has been fitted to one of the two semi-private dining rooms. The wood is protected behind glass made to the same shade as Leung’s glasses.

A classic Western-style one, including a pastry section, and…
