What do Meghan Markle, Margot Robbie and now lucky ol’ me have in common? Well, along with the likes of Kate Moss, Gisele Bundchen, Gwyneth Paltrow and more, we’ve all had the fabled Inner Facial.

For most of us, grey hair is inevitable. Mine started weaving its way through my locks in my early thirties. To begin with, it wasn’t too much of a problem - just a few strands here and there. Fast forward to my early forties and a monthly visit to the hairdressers wasn’t even cutting it.

I didn’t know much about Chinese medicine, but that was all set to change when I met Katie Brindle.

It would never occur to me to go on holiday and have an in-salon hair-analysis treatment. I always think that’s the stuff you need to do at home. But isn’t the point of taking time away to end up looking and feeling your best?

With our lives getting more fast-paced, it’s easy to become dependent on synthetic beauty products and harsh over-the-counter cures. But they only provide a quick fix. Step forward Shrankhla Holecek, the lady behind Uma Oils, who is an avid advocate of natural remedies.

Visiting or living in a hot or tropical climate can have an adverse effect on the quality and texture of your hair.

The party season is back! We look at some of the best treatments.

There are facials (‘mmm, relaxing, lovely…’) and there are facials (‘mmm, relaxing, lovely… and wow! I actually look so much better!’). My spell at the 23nd-floor Peninsula Spa treated me to the latter oh-my-goodness-I-can-actually-see-the-results-immediately reaction.
