Ask Me Why I'm Glowing


So the New Year has arrived. The Chinese year of the dragon. And with it, it brings change to Beauty Mole. The announcement here is that I am pregnant! An exciting start to the year and a definite change in my beauty routine. The little baby is due on July 7th (subject to change) and has brought a whole host of interesting side effects with it already.
The first is that I have to moisturise my body more than ever. I must admit that I can be quite lazy with body moisturisers, even though I love it when I do. Of course the skin feels so much softer and if you have the right one it also smells amazing. Now, however, I am using oil. Bio Oil is a cult favourite and I am using it to keep stretch marks at bay from my expanding belly. However, I discovered that it’s also amazing for any skin ailment, especially dehydrated skin. Slather on to your face the night before you want to wash your hair and you will wake up to calmer skin in the morning guaranteed.

Then I am using Trilogy’s Aromatic Body Oil for everywhere else – with rosehips, rose and vanilla, the skin simply drinks it up after a shower.

Finally, as my ‘glow’ has not quote arrived, I am cheating with Sisley’s Radiant Glow Express Mask. This helps to bring out the rosiness in any complexion and the red clay will draw out any impurities.
So, now you can ask me why I’m glowing….

Doctor Doctor...


They say don't judge a book by its cover. But, sometimes, you discover something so beautiful that you can't help but fall in love. Before you open that cover. 
I had a moment just like this when I clapped eyes on Dr Bragi's Age Management Gel.
So beautiful and yet so clever. The unique formula is unscented and it's not like me to fall in love without so much as a tiny whiff of fragrance, but this is worth it. You only use a tiny amount, so a little goes a long way. Trust Dr Bragi, who has dedicated his life to the study and research of marine enzymes, the core ingredient in this product.
I think they call it love at first sight.

Where The Wild Things Are...


I have been trifling my way across England over the past few weeks and my skin is now in need of some serious nourishment. Some TLC if you will.  I am embarking on a pre-winter nurture-fest. I am going to pet and coddle my skin inn to submission before going to Russia for Christmas and I need all the nourishment I can get. Much like a faun, the mythical forest god, I have taken a plant and woodland theme on for my skincare routine.

I am partial to Aromatherapy Associates Renew Rose & Sandalwood Facial Oil for extra moisture. It smells absolutely divine, plus the Evening Primrose and Peach Kernel Oils plump the skin. For an all-over-body alternative that is perfect for knees and elbows I use Dr Organic Vitamin E Oil mixed with my regular moisturiser.

I have fallen in love with Antonia Burrell’s Forest Dew Skin Tonic. I love the word ‘dew’ in the title. As if collected by forest fairies and beautiful dragonflies at dawn. And this doesn’t disappoint. Smelling somewhere between fresh cucumber juice and luscious pine needles, its consistency is almost serum-like and it feels wonderfully hydrating.

Finally, Occo’s Deep Forest Body Treatment Mask is taking care of my body. This whole range, hailing from Croatia, is one of my exciting new discoveries…
