It's official, most of you want to look younger and admittedly, I'm right there with you. I hate the tiny little wrinkles that are already forming around my eyes, and lately, my skin has been lacking that youthful and supple natural glow.
About a month ago, I was given the opportunity to speak with celebrity makeup artist Barbara Daly about some of her secrets to looking younger which include everything from brightening your complexion and toning your skin.

Recently I was lucky enough to meet with skincare guru and expert dermatologist Dr Zein Obagi to talk about how to prevent skin ageing. Dr Obagi is often referred to as a maverick and a visionary; with a vast array of experience working with plastic surgeons, doctors and dermatologists he is undoubtedly one of the leading experts in skin health. Dr Obagi is also a charismatic lecturer and teacher, as well as having successfully corrected a wide range of skin conditions for his clients, which range from facial melasma and acne scars to deep wrinkles and unsightly age spots.

I'm a big fan of pomegranate juice. Ever since scientists told us that this red fruit has amazing antioxidant powers, I've been trying to have at least a few glasses a week. Pomegranate is also fantastic at fighting free radicals, which can accelerate the signs of ageing on the skin.

Award-winning actress and English rose Emilia Fox is all set to be the new face (and hair) of Charles Worthington's Time Defy Hair Care range. We all get so caught up trying to age-proof our skin that it makes sense to take the same approach to our hair. Time Defy is a range of anti-aging hair products targeted at the thirty-plus woman.

The latest cosmetic surgery buzz in the beauty world isn't the New New Face, nor that men splashing out for botox; this week everyone's talking about the latest breed of injectables that are for your feet, not your face. Botox injections are now being used on the ball of the foot to ease a new condition caused by years of wearing high heels. Apparently this new trend has seen a significant increase in the UK in the last few months.

As I've mentioned before, I try to get a variety of people with different skin types to test the products to be reviewed here, so that it's not just about what works for me and my skin. The task of trialling the anti-aging treatments usually falls to my mother, who happily is a self-confessed guinea pig for new skin treats!
As the claims made by M-Lab for their anti-aging formulations were so spectacular, we were both a little in awe about how her skin would look.

Using anti-ageing creams and protecting your skin from the sun is just beauty common sense. But do you think about treating your neck with the same tender loving care? After the face and hands, the neck is the easiest way to tell a woman's age and unlike with the face, there aren't any surgical quick fixes yet to keep your throat and decollete looking forever youthful.

The next installment of my Little Black Book feature is about the incredibly luxe Pleasure Promise Facial (£60) from Darphin (available at Harrods). I'm a devotee of Darphin products since they use high quality ingredients, they smell gorgeous and give me amazing results.
This facial works on a sensory-basis.
