Beauty Bible POSTS
We are… although we’d like to be spending a bit more time in the outdoors admiring our spring bulbs and breathing that fresh air than we’re currently managing, due to a Very Exciting Book Project which we hope to have news of for you soon. (Before you ask: no testing opportunities, alas – but for us this is the culmination of three decades of writing together, and we think you’re going to love it.)
We are, of course, still putting up all the latest news on this website – sharing with you a daily Beauty Bible Loves, here, a Fab Find of the Week to start every week here, plus our Weekend Steal here.
Don’t forget to enter our fantastic weekly Prize draws – for products that we really really want ourselves – they are completely free to enter but, as we always say, you can’t win if you don’t enter…
Check out Sarah’s Health Notes – packed with wellbeing wisdom – or waft over to Jo’s Scent Notes, in which she shares her scent finds and loves.
And of course, whenever you are beauty shopping, please don’t forget to check in with our Beauty Bible Awards when you’re shopping for SKINCARE, BODYCARE, HAIRCARE, MAKE-UP, SUNCARE and TOOLS & DEVICES – our testers have given their verdicts, and we remain confident that these Awards really do offer a short-cut to products that truly work.
Remember: you can keep in touch with us via the CONTACT button at the top of the page, or click here. We always love hearing from you. Let us know your beauty ‘finds’ and also concerns – if we can help we will.
See you next time we come up for air!
With love,
During these cold months, chest rub can come into its own, but here’s an alternative use: use it to soothe aching feet. Try applying a thick coat of chest rub and covering feet with a pair of socks before going to bed at night. When you wake up, sore tired feet will be both moisturised and rejuvenated.
The kindest thing you can do during an at-home manicure or pedicure is to apply cuticle cream to nails or feet first, then soak them in water for five minutes before pushing back cuticles with a rubber hoof stick. This creates the perfect ‘frame’ for your brushwork.
Freshen up combs and hairbrushes by soaking them in a solution of 600 ml warm water and two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda. Swirl them around in the water to loosen up all the debris caught between the teeth, then let them soak for about half an hour. Rinse well and dry flat on a towel before using.
We love this quote from our old friend Eve Lom: ‘True beauty comes from feeding your mind, as well as your skin.’
Always give hair a deep treatment a couple of days before having your hair coloured; it evens out porosity, helps the colour to deposit evenly, and minimises potential damage.
