Bonus Episode | Top 10 Beauty products of 2018
In this bonus episode I answer one of the questions I get the most on email, social media and in person and that's 'what's your favourite beauty product?' And, in order to make it fair, it's a Top 10 covering skincare, makeup and gadgets. All of this is in my humble opinion and, I hope it goes without saying, that this episode was not produced in conjunction with the brands involved. I have not been paid to mention these products, although Elizabeth Arden did sponsor the episode with Dr Dendy Engelman back in September. These are my independent thoughts and feelings having used the products, although as a beauty journalist I am sent some of the product featured without charge.First up, my go-to hydrating skincare: Clinique Moisture Surge Supercharged Hydrating ConcentrateI started using retinol just before my 40th birthday last year. Here's what I've used and why it's now an integral part of my routine:Paula's Choice Resist Anti-Ageing Retinol Serum.Paula's Choice Clinical 1% RetinolElizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night Serum.Neostrata Skin Active Retinol + NAG ComplexNadine Baggott - Retinol for BeginnersHair loss, hair thinning and alopecia.
