Hurrah – it’s the intro I’ve been waiting to write for a whole year. We are on the road to freedom – let there be light. Albeit light that is coming into our lives rather slowly.

Boris has made us all rather “uplifted” with his road map to lockdown being binned. And I am particularly happy to hear that nightclubs will reopen (as well as full normality resuming) on JUNE 21st – my Birthday. Ha Ha, I always knew I was born on a special day. What a great gift to receive.
Social media is awash with everyone planning diets in time for the big reveal after a year indoors. Time to shift the lockdown lard as we prepare for a midsummer’s day of freedom.
Luckily, I have continued to exercise throughout this crap, and generally try to look after myself. Including looking after my skin.
Last week I mentioned ‘Tropic Skincare’ in my vlog and I have been using the cleanse and tone products all week. This brand deserves all it’s awards – it’s utter luxury all round.
My FIVE STAR recommendations:
SMOOTHING CLEANSER complexion purifier and bamboo cloth.

Full of jojoba and almond oil, I use this morning and night. It leaves my skin squeaky clean and smelling divine. £18
VITAMIN TONER pore-refining mist.

My favourite products – smells of aloe Vera, cucumber and roses and instantly refreshes skin and eyes. £14
RAINFOREST DEW hydration serum.

This is a cult beauty buy – left my skin so dewy, I looked five years younger. Will last months too. £42
SKIN DREAM age-defying cream concentrate.

This is an incredible moisturiser, full of bio-retinol and hyaluronic acid to plump up the skin – use at night. £42
SKIN FEAST nourishing cream concentrate.

I use this in the mornings as it feeds your skin with ultra-hydrating antioxidant botanical actives all day. £24
DEEP HYDRATION soothing cooling mask.

This is a real treat. Use this mask once a week to deeply soothe, vitalise and rehydrate your skin with super berries and flower extracts. Heavenly. £20
