Eve Lom’s Cleanser
We both love Eve Lom’s easy-to-use, oil based cleansing cream with essential oils. Just smooth it on then cleanse away dirt and make-up with the help of the mildly exfoliating muslin cloth that accompanies it.

THE BIOLOGICAL ACTIVES
This group of products contains nutraceuticals. They belong to the new wave of skincare which attempts to use vitamins and supplements like DMAE, alpha lipoic acid, Co Q10 and ALA to treat skin from the outside in. These products all contain chemical preservatives and conventionally formulated emulsions. Many of these are considered cosmeceuticals instead of cosmetics. In truth, there is no difference between the two. The name ‘cosmeceuticals’ is very often used to identify the kind of products you buy from a dermatologist or salon rather than what you buy over the counter in a store or pharmacy, but there is no legal definition of ‘cosmeceuticals’.

Advanced Skin Therapy
This range has been formulated in the United States by Nuala Briggs. It is a large range, so you will need to pick and choose, depending on what your skin needs. They will ship anywhere.

Environ
Our favorite cosmetic range is Environ. Their products are specially formulated by South African plastic surgeon Dr Des Fernandes, a man who is without peer when it comes to using vitamins and nutraceuticals to transform skin. Fernandez has tremendous integrity reflected in everything he does and has won numerous awards both in surgery and for his range. Most of his Environ products are fragrance-free and all are free from colorants. All are highly effective – from the Proactive Range based on Vitamin C and A to his top of the market Iozyme in which his new C-Quence Eye Gel and the other reformulated C-Quence products excel even his own previous creations. They are ideal for any woman wanting serious transformative, age-reversing skincare.

Environ’s Cosmetic Roll-Cit
Developed by Dr Des Fernandes, this is a revolutionary device in skincare treatments. The Roll-Cit is a roller riddled with minute needles which barely open the surface of the skin to allow deeper penetration of active ingredients. It is designed to help restore skin tightness, thicken the skin, soften facial lines, reduce scarring, and to speed up the disappearance of pigmentation marks.

Art A Face
A favorite of plastic surgeons, this range is based on colostrum which has wonderful healing properties after surgery or peels. Their fragrance is not great but they work well and are unique in the world. Their revolutionary Overnight Cream is first rate.
