About me
A Melbourne based skincare geek, I have joined Beautyheaven with the aim of becoming a very active contributor. Why? Simply put, I love disseminating knowledge, fun facts, history, tips and DIY skincare recipes. I come from a family and friendship circle of healthcare professionals including a few pharmacists, a dermatologist and naturopaths. I love science but I also love and follow the traditions of Ayurveda, TCM and Western Herbalism to name a few complementary medicine methodologies. As such, I keep my skincare and makeup routine very simple and keenly keep an eye on both lab manufactured and plant based ingredients. I love reviewing new products by exploring both their active and inactive ingredients and seeing how they react on my skin; in the course of doing so, I enthusiastically share the knowledge and tips I've discovered. I'm by no means an expert but I do defer to them. I am a huge believer in keeping high sugar, high sodium, char grilled and BBQ foods to a minimum as these are known to not only be detrimental to your health, but they will also rapidly compromise your skin's condition.Age range

Nice enough but not my favourite.

Wonderful wash!
The Aveeno Body Wash was wonderful to apply. The formula lathered beautifully and felt fantastic on the skin. Unlike many other washes, I found it didn’t strip my skin but was very gentle for every day use. The added colloidal... Read full review
Beautiful formula.
This Aveeno Skin Relief moisturising lotion was an absolute dream to apply and helped my Winter parched skin. Like my other moisturisers, I applied it to damp skin after showering to better maintain my skin\'s hydration. I found the formula... Read full review
A great conditioner that gives me luscious locks.
This conditioner surpassed my expectations. I never considered TRESemmé a premium quality product but it really delivers on its promises. My have loose curls that turn wiry if I don\'t use a leave-in conditioner. Often, I find such conditioners result... Read full review
Leaves hair incredibly soft and shiny
I seldom use supermarket shampoos and conditioners but the TRESemmé Moisture Rich products may have converted me. The formula is quite lovely, nicely scented and offers a nice lather. I always wash my hair twice and this shampoo did a... Read full review
Can't imagine my routine without it!
I\'m a huge fan of LED light therapy so purchasing the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask was a no brainer! I have been using LED therapy for five months and the CB Skin Mask for three weeks; my skin... Read full review
I'm converted!
Thanks Elizabeth Arden and Beautyheaven for allowing me the opportunity to participate in this game changing trial! I must admit I\'m a huge sceptic when it comes to eye creams and eye serums but the Prevage Anti-Aging Serum 2.0 has... Read full review
An incredibly rich and hydrating cream.
Cetaphil never fails to deliver and this cream is packed with so many wonderful goodies! This cream is very rich and you only need a small amount to cover your face and neck. It\'s applied as my final step during... Read full review
