A Quick Tip For Healthier Skin While You Sleep
According to expert London facialist Sarah Chapman, a quick and easy way to brighten up your skin, draw out impurities and tighten your pores at home, is by mixing a tablespoon of a mud mask with a few drops of a calming facial oil.

What's great is that the oil keeps the mask from drying out and cracking while you get your beauty sleep!

Little Black Book: ZenZone at Hotel La Florida
I'm a bit of a spoiled kitten when it comes to facials, I have to admit. Years of working in the beauty and fashion industry means I've had my fair share of the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.
The worst, was a 'couple facial' in which my skincare expert actually flicked the sides of my cheek with her artificial nails, while at the same time Mr Bella kept trying to grab my hand, shouting "don't let her touch my face, I don't like having my face touched" as his masochistic therapist tutted at the state of his stubble.

Last night in New York City, handsome British superstar Daniel Craig was spotted at a benefit for Orphan's sporting some serious facial hair.
