We tweezer them out as long as we can, don’t we, till it becomes a losing battle. Then the vast majority of us colour. No question. I used to, till the beauticians at hospital recommended no more toxic chemicals be used on our hair, after the second block of chemo left it lank and lifeless. I’ve been natural ever since and 8 years on, I’m 75% white, according to my hairdresser. She has gently suggested some colour, and my friends have been dropping hints about how ‘it’s sulphur-free now’ and it ‘takes 10 years off’. So I would become a convincing 40 year old.

Caring for our skin as we age is essential. I am obsessed with my skin and skincare routines. After all, my skin is the door to my temple! I care about my appearance as it makes me feel good about myself. 

I am so keen to know about the latest trends and products in skincare so I recently joined a skin health conference discussing the results of the very latest real-world research looking at the factors affecting our skin wellness. The study measures how skin changes as we move through the decades. The experts took a closer look at the very latest next, new generation skin science, set to help keep us skin safe in the sun and tackle the challenges of skin ageing.

Clean beauty is a growing trend in the beauty industry, and it’s one that is here to stay. It is all about using natural, non-toxic ingredients in cleansing and make-up, avoiding harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients. It’s also about creating products that are safe for both people and the environment.
 
Clean beauty is more than just avoiding synthetic products. It means being mindful of the ingredients used and making sure they are ethically sourced. It also means avoiding animal testing and using vegan and cruelty-free ingredients.Vegan and cruelty-free beauty products are becoming increasingly popular as more people become aware of the ethical implications of using animal-derived ingredients.
