Positive ageing with Suzi Grant, the nutritionist with a passion for fashion.
All in Beauty
Did you know your neck (and chest in my case) ages twenty times faster than your face? Tell me about it! I have always worn sunscreen on my face and chest but the crepiness and lines on this thinnest part of the body seem to be unavoidable at any age post 45. So when I was asked to try a new serum and cream for the neck and decolletage and promised results in as little as a week, I was just a little sceptical…………
For a little festive cheer, I've two little Chrissy pressies to offer you. The first one is this gorgeous Look Fabulous Forever eyeshadow in cocoa brown. Worth £15. Just sign up for my Newsletter, if you haven't already, and I'll pick a Subscriber randomly on the 17th December and send it to you, in time for the holiday (if you're in the UK), as a big thank you for your support over the last year.
I went to the Look Fabulous Forever headquarters in London, without a scrap of makeup on, apart from my tinted eyebrows (to cover the grey hairs) and a tiny bit of eyeliner. I couldn't wait to try this makeup & get some colour on my cheeks but must admit that I was not looking forward to sitting in a chair for ages having my makeup done for me. After years of working in TV and, more recently, photo shoots, I get fidgety and impatient.
Just before leaving Byron Bay, I found a new to me, cruelty & parabens free eye & brow cosmetics. The new Brow Essential pack, by Eye of Horos, is all of those things and also contains the latest fave: organic, anti-ageing moringa oil.
Originally, this post was about how to have healthy hair using nutrition and supplements. However, since the start of 2016, I have been growing my red/orange colour out to go naturally and fashionably grey. It's a very long & pricey process involving bleaching my hair to an inch of its life but I am glad to report that thanks to Olaplex, a good hairdresser, and my healthy diet…
Now our thoughts are turning to a hot summer or, at least, a hot holiday away, I thought I would share with you what I pack in my very small make up bag. Seeing as I tend to go to very hot & humid countries like India & Australia, I have learned through trial and error that less is definitely more when it comes to make up in the heat, especially if you have older skin…
