For many, the natural ageing process and uncertainties of the last couple of years have manifested in the lower face: pronounced jowls, deep nasolabial folds, noticeable marionette lines, and a discernible double chin. But fear not, there are many approaches we can take to banish these changes. What causes these lower face changes? As you [...]
We know by now that there’s no standard menopause experience because everything from the symptoms that a woman experiences to the age perimenopause begins is as individual as our menstrual cycles. Research shows that around 5% of women in the UK will go through an early menopause at some point in their lives – that’s [...]
Hot flushes and night sweats may be the most talked-about symptoms of the menopause, but unfortunately, they don't end there. I've talked about the 34, yes 34, other symptoms of menopause in previous blogs, but one of the most misunderstood symptoms is menopausal weight gain. Research shows that the average woman gains around 4.5lb during [...]
The jawline is one of those areas that most of us take for granted – like the neck and hands. It’s just not a problem area until one day, probably around your late 30s, when it is. When your face starts losing its youthful volume, it’s such a slow and steady process that you tend [...]

We're all aware of our diet's impact on our skin, but what about our mind? The human mind is the most complex structure in the universe, and throughout our life, we will experience a vast array of emotions that can affect our health in many different ways. The growing field of psychodermatology explores the complex [...]
The conversation about menopause has started to open up a lot over the last few years. Historically, this life-altering event was spoken about in whispers as many women were too afraid or embarrassed to speak openly about their experience. The sad truth is that although this is slowly changing, many women are still blindsided by [...]
We’re all pretty familiar with the idea that what we eat affects the way our skin looks. There is no doubt that the food we consume has a significant role to play when it comes to not only our general well-being but skin health also. Glowing, lustrous, youthful skin is a common goal for many [...]
