For any religious self tan users with naturally fair skin, like myself, the thought of maintaining your usual faux glow on a beach holiday can be daunting. Away for a weekend? Easy. Four or five days? That's just manageable. Over a week? Things start to get complicated. Ensuring that your tan remains looking flawless for an entire trip whilst slathering yourself in SPF, sweating in high temps, and taking a dip in the sea or pool can be tricky, but I've managed to devise a routine that keeps me tanned from arrival to departure. It takes a bit of planning and you have to fully commit to a tanning regimen, but it is possible to maintain a perfect tan on longer holidays if you want to put the work in. If you're looking for some of the best holiday tanning tips, here's my detailed run down (part one) of exactly what to do - buckle in!

I'm sure that you're all aware of my obsession with LED light therapy by now. I've tried numerous devices over the years, some of which I've reviewed, and continue to incorporate the treatment into my skincare regimen multiple times a week as it's so effective for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin. Similarly to how I'm always looking for the next best serum or moisturiser, I also like to scout out the most advanced facial devices to elevate my skincare routine even further. ViQure's LED Light Therapy Mask* was the latest piece of skin tech to catch my eye, so I thought it was about time to share how this professional-grade LED mask stacks up against others I've tried after using it religiously over the past month.

I invest a lot of time and money into my daily skincare regimen in an effort to stave off any pesky signs of aging for as long as possible. My skincare cupboard, nightstand and dressing table are all stacked high with topical products and skincare devices, but there's been one skincare realm that I've been hesitant to delve into - collagen supplements. I've always been rather sceptical about the efficacy of collagen supplements, so I thought it was about time I gave one a go when Revive Collagen reached out to me about trialling their original Revive Collagen Hydrolysed Marine Collagen Drink*. I've experienced many benefits from adding other supplements into my diet, so it was only fair to give collagen a try for myself and document my results for anyone else curious about them.

Walk into any beauty hall, open any skincare app or spend ten minutes scrolling through any social media feed and skincare overwhelm can quickly set in. Hundreds of different serums and actives are promised to transform your skin overnight, and knowing where to start can feel impossible. Dr Ophelia Veraitch, a private consultant dermatologist, works with patients daily to cut through the noise. Over years of clinical practice at her Harley Street clinic, she has observed that the most significant skin improvements rarely come from chasing trends. Real results come from consistent use of a carefully chosen set of evidence-based ingredients, those with decades of published research behind them and not just a fleeting viral moment in the spotlight. In this article, I thought I'd cover five ingredients that dermatologists recommend time and again and explain how a couple of them should be approached with more caution than the beauty industry typically advises to hopefully leave you with a clear, practical foundation for building a skincare routine that delivers tangible results.

Weddings are so exciting - you get to celebrate the love of friends and family, explore wonderful venues, eat and drink lots of delicious treats and catch up with people you haven't seen in years.

As much as a wedding is one of the most important days of a bride and groom's life, every guest wants to feel confident in how they look with cameras capturing every moment.
