Save Your Skin!
Right – today we’re talking skin and smoking. You don’t need me to tell you that smoking isn’t brilliant for your skin (as well as, y’know, giving you cancer). It depletes the natural collagen and circulation in your skin, ageing you much faster than sun exposure ever could. If you’re a smoker and looking to [...]

Before we talk about it, let’s take a look! Righty, so facial shaving is pretty common amongst Japanese women (in Japan). Maybe not the full-on facial shave [...]

Japanese Male Grooming. It’s weird. The No! No! for Men is a popular male hair removal product in Japan where the grooming market is second only to the US. I really hope all three of them got a big fat paycheck after filming this gem of a commercial..!
J&J Beauty Care Journalism Awards
Last night I was lucky enough to walk away with the Runner Up prize at Johnson & Johnson’s 7th Annual Beauty Care Journalism Awards – woo! This was the first year that Johnson & Johnson included a Blogger category in the awards and I’m incredibly pleased to have walked away with 2nd place against some [...]
