Jill's Blog

Jill, old enough not to want to give away her age, is mother to four demanding daughters that keep her on her toes when it comes to anything retail and beauty related.

Jill much prefers shopping online to fighting the masses instore and her favourite websites include EveLom.co.uk , OkaDirect.com, TimeToSpa.co.uk, Inverawe.co.uk and FormanAndField.com (the latter two keep the men in the family smiling!).

Fight the Flights, Sun & Dehydration...
Published on Friday 1st June 2007

I have just returned from one of those ‘holiday of a lifetime’ experiences in South Africa, covering places as diverse as the Zulu battlefields at Fugitives Drift, Phinda Game Reserve and the most amazing train trip on the Rovos Rail from Pretoria to Cape Town.

Towards the end of the trip I found myself at a wonderful place called Bushman's Kloof in the Cedarburg Mountains. I was beginning to feel the effects of flights, sun and general dehydration so to find that this oasis also had a spa was just the best news and I was ready to make the most of it.

elemis skin recovery capsules bttWhat was even more fantastic was to be introduced to Elemis products at the spa – I know there are all these programmes, advertisements and articles about looking ten years younger but I absolutely promise that after my amazing Elemis facial I really did – well five anyway, even my husband who is not known for noticing these things, said I looked ‘very well’ – as near a compliment as I will get!

Imagine how thrilled I was to log on to SheerLuxe to find not one but two websites through which I could purchase this wonder cream! LookFantastic.com and TimeToSpa.co.uk both sell the Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream which, it is claimed, took three years to develop – time well spent and seemingly saved on my face.

I now plan to be a little more adventurous in the use of some of their treatments, maybe locking myself away on a Saturday morning with the full works from exfoliater and mask through to lashings of moisturising cream – I could be missing for hours.
