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 […]
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.

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 […]
Acne – What You Need To Know
Do you have pores? Pores are mild blackheads, and so, technically, you have a mild form of one type of acne. Acne is a cause of angst for many a teenager, and adults too. I have a number of patients who have battled acne for years, and tried numerous different products, all to little or no avail. But what exactly is acne, what causes it, how common is it and what can be done to prevent and treat it? Contrary to urban myth, acne is not caused by dirty skin and poor hygiene. It arises when the tiny holes in […]
