Sleep Lines
Do you have sleep lines on the side you tend to lie on? Many people do! Sometimes I am able to tell which side my patients sleep on by looking closely at their face. As we get older our skin loses elasticity. You may then notice that these morning pillow creases on our face persist during the day. Sleeping on your back can reduce the risk of sleep lines. However, for all of us, a good night’s sleep is important – changing position is not only difficult to achieve but risks a disturbed night. Using a silk pillow case may […]
Teeth Clenching/ Grinding and Jaw Slimming
Bruxism (grinding of the teeth/ jaw clenching) is the 3rd most common sleep disorder (after insomnia & snoring). It is often associated with a widened/ square-shaped lower face due to hypertrophy (enlargement) of the masseter (jaw) muscle. Treatment of this condition using a muscle relaxant (Botox) can be really helpful, providing relief from tense muscles in spasm, by reducing the size and strength of the masseter muscles. If you suffer from this condition I would ask you to see your dentist first to have your bite/ teeth alignment checked. Some dentists offer a custom made guard where appropriate. At BrightNewMe […]
How to have even skin tone – without make-up.
This Coronavirus lock-down brings challenges for all, although it can be a time for an overhaul of our health and wellbeing. This very much applies to the way we look, which can often have a considerable effect on the way we feel. One of the aesthetic trends which has been prominent recently is the seeking of fresh, even-toned skin. Many of my patients have previously tried to cover up uneven tone with make-up and concealers. Over-the-counter pigmentation correctors are heavily marketed – and expensive – but are of limited benefit, as they can legally only contain a very limited amount […]

How to get longer, thicker eyelashes
The eyes are the first thing people notice when meeting face to face and establishing eye contact. Our eyelashes visually frame and emphasise our eyes. They also have important physical functions – to protect the eyes from foreign particles and to act like cats whiskers, allowing us to detect something too close to our eyes. As we get older our eyelashes become shorter, thinner, less dense and lighter in colour. However, it is possible to stimulate the growth of your eyelashes (and eyebrows too for that matter) by using a product called Amalian lashes. It is used just like a […]
