The U.K. is not the only country pushing the organic skincare agenda.

France who is the leader in high-end skincare is also following in the footsteps of the U.K., but just like everything French … there is a twist.

The Canzi Hydrosol Floral Waters are the latest detox craze in Paris. These waters have been created by L’Atelier Canzi, which creates a line of organic skincare for their list of clients who want healthy skin via organic skincare products.

You’ll definitely have to travel to get your hands on this product, but given that it’s summer and a lot of people are on the move, I thought I’d highlight this incredible product just in case you were stopping in Paris.

The Manea Spa in Bora Bora is one of the most exclusive and luxurious spas in the world and unless you have the time (Bora Bora is quite far) and the money, you might not be able to enjoy their sensational Maro Tea Exfoliating Facial Gel.

It’s easy to think that only teens and young adult visit tanning booths, but nothing can be further from the truth.

There is a woman at my gym who is at least 65 (but she looks 95) and since I’ve known her she’s been either using tanning booths or taking in copious amounts of sunlight during the summer months. On some occasions, I’ve noticed that her skin was almost as dark as mine. She’s tanned 24/7, 365 days a year (period).

There is an interesting American health survey that was published not long ago, that actually confirms women over 35 remain hard core tanning salon users.

I first saw stylist Charla Krupps on a fashion segment in your 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s on Oprah. A few months ago she published a book with a title that is music to my ears: How not to look old!

If you missed my review of Oprah’s show you can catch it here:

Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni

From the no-nonsense packaging to the creamy consistency, this is one of the best neck treatments I’ve tried all year.

I loved the simple packaging - a 120 ml plastic bottle with a flip-top for easy pour access.

There was no discernable scent and the whole feeling was of something very clean, scientific and easy to use.

The consistency of the treatment was excellent - not runny or too thick. It absorbed well into the skin and left my neck feeling a bit firmer.

Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni

I checked out this product recently and immediately noticed that it felt light and the colour was a natural, believable shade of sunny sand (I tried #430 in Shimmering Sand).

This loose mineral powder can be used all over or just as a natural-looking blush on the apples of the cheeks.

You’ll never get great results by using the puff/applicator that comes with any product, so please forego that and always use a good brush - it does make a difference.

Are you concerned about the hollowness between your upper eyelids and your brows?

You might have been looking at yourself in the mirror lately and might not be too happy with the way your eyes have been looking. That hollowness you see could be heredity or it could be attributed to previous eye surgery.

Fat injections (from your own body) can be a simple solution to fill that space up and reduce the appearance of hollowness - without having to go under the knife.

Have you tried Yves Saint Laurent’s (YSL Beauty) Touche Eclat instant highlighter?

This product is one of YSL’s best-selling products and one of makeup artists’ best-kept secrets - by adding a touch of light under the eyes you can get rid of dark circles and fatigue.

YSL has taken this concept of adding light to the face to the lips and has just come out with Touche Brillance.

Simply put, Touche Brillance does for the lips what Touche Eclat did for the under eyes!

Did I like the new Yves Saint Laurent’s (YSL Beauty) Touche Eclat instant highlighter?

I know there are so many lipgloss options on the market, but I can assure you this new one from Yves Saint Laurent is WELL worth the try. I was quite impressed with this product and I try on so many different products each week that it’s getting harder to be dazzled. Some of the products are good, some are fair, but this YSL Touche Brillance is extraordinary!!!
