Subjecting your hair to the daily torture of a hair dryer, straighteners, hot rollers or curling tongs can quickly lead to dry and damaged hair. Sadly, once it’s damaged, it’s difficult ever getting it back into good condition again. Simply shampooing alone is never enough to restore shine or give it a glossy and healthy appearance and many hair conditioners struggle to inject any kind of life into listless hair. Fortunately, Clairol Herbal Essences have a wonderful range of affordable hair conditioners which smell fantastic and work fantastically well.

No 7 protect & intense night creamI always seem to have one of those No. 7 vouchers squirrelled away in my purse. They become lost among the wad of other vouchers and inevitably are well past their expiry date by the time I discover them.

However, the last time I was in Boots, I remembered to check my vouchers, found one still active, and set off in the direction of the No 7 stand.

I’ve been using No 7 Protect & Perfect serum for a couple of years now and have already switched to the Intense version for more 'mature' skin'. So when I noticed a complementary version of Protect & Perfect Intense in the Night Cream range, I decided to try it out.

Getting older aint much fun, not least because of the uphill battle against the signs of aging. One area that’s often neglected until it’s too late is the hands. Apart from thinning skin, age spots on the hands are a dead giveaway of a persons, err, lack of youth.

I started noticing these horrid marks appearing on my hands a few years ago. First it was the odd one or two, but each year a few more would join. So now I regularly use a rich hand cream at night and another during the day. 

Trying to brush tangles out of knotted hair is difficult and often painful. Children in particular are prone to getting their hair tangled as they're not usually too concerned over brushing it to keep it looking tidy. Brushing tangles out of tangled hair is actually quite easy when you know how.

With a little patience and the help of these tips, you'll soon wonder how you ever stressed over unruly tangles.

Hairstyles come and go but hair rollers never go out of fashion. Whether heated, bendy or bristly, rollers are the ultimate tool for creating glamorous curls, stunning waves or simply injecting a little life and bounce to an otherwise boring hairstyle. Whichever hair roller you use, the key to successful curls lies in the way they are handled. This article gives some simple tips to help limit bad hair days while leaving you with perfect curls every time.

One of the greatest benefits of long hair are the sheer number of alternative styling options available to you. Whether you choose straight, curly, wavy, an updo or even braided, you need never become bored with your hairstyle. For those with poker straight hair wishing to add a few curls, hair curlers are the obvious choice. However, the type of curlers you use can make or break your style since some are better suited for long hair than others.

Wondering whether your shampoo has gone bad probably doesn’t feature high on your list of health concerns. As shampoo is frequently used on a daily basis, a bottle isn’t usually left open or unused long enough for this to be of any concern. But what if you find an old bottle of shampoo buried away in an old suitcase for instance? Will it still be safe to use? For this reason shampoo does have a shelf life, albeit a long one and some shampoos also have an expiry date.

The eyes are one of the most telling areas of our age. Unfortunately for some, they don’t always tell the truth. Age, over exposure to the sun, smoking and genetics all have a part to play in the way the skin around our eyes looks. If you’re feeling unhappy with loose skin or bagginess around the eyes,  you may be considering a corrective cosmetic procedure called blepharoplasty.

Home Manicure Kit
In times of economic difficulties, trips to a nail salon may be seen as a non-essential luxury.  But just because someone else isn't doing your manicure, doesn't mean your nails need fall into disrepair.

Giving yourself a home manicure is simple to do. With the right tools and a little time each week, you’ll save money and keep your nails in perfect condition. Even if you've never had a manicure, it’s not too late to start.

Whitening Toothpaste
A white, sparkling smile implies youth, health and vitality. But time takes its toll on our teeth as they gradually lose their attractive brightness and become stained or discolored. However, there’s no need to put up with dingy looking teeth any longer.

There are literally hundreds of tooth whitening products available to help put that sparkle back into your smile.

Few of us are 100% happy with the shape of our nose. Whether you've inherited your father's large nose or it's decidedly crooked following an accident, then rhinoplasty could be an option.
Rhinoplasty or a nose job as it's more commonly known, is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures. People who are self-consciousness over their nose can find their self-esteem is greatly improved after rhinoplasty.

When we're spending hours outside in the sun, we take it for granted that our sunscreen is giving us the protection it should. But this isn't always the case.

The sun is the number one cause of skin damage and every time you get sunburned, your risk of developing deadly melanoma later in life increases. And if there's one subject skin care experts agree on, it's the need to use a sunscreen every day. Wearing sunscreen is supposed to help protect us from the hazardous sun's rays. But do they really work?

About Me!

Hi and thanks for visiting my blog!

My name's Caroline and I live in London. I'm a freelance writer and nutritionist, so you'll find a lot of my articles are health based.

I'm also passionately interested in skincare. Although the food we eat has the most noticeable effects on our skin, the skincare products we use has a large part to play.

As such, I often write product reviews and other articles on dealing with skincare and anti-aging.

I hope you enjoyed your visit here and come back soon :-)
