Hi there Alison,

I'm a 25 year old guy and have slightly oily skin. I have slightly enlarged pores on my nose, I have the occasional breakout, and find that whenever I put my moisturiser on without a few hours I start to look a little shiny and was wondering what you would recommend? I tend to find taht with most moisturisers they're too heavy and I have the same shininess problems.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Alison,
I'm wondering if you can give me any tips and advice. I am 28 and starting to get fine lines around the eye area. What products would you recommend to help nip any further ageing in the bud?! Also, I work in a factory environment and my skin has started getting very dry and dull, especially on the forehead - I have combination skin and use gentle exfoliators, like Liz Earle, but have a ruddyness in my cheeks with a few broken capilaries so dont want to make this worse by scrubbing away! Can you recommend a skin care routine which would help my dry skin, make my complexion more bright and help with the fine lines around the eyes and on the forehead?
Sorry for all the questions - Many Thanks for your help! x

Hi Alison, I am 64 (only just) years of age and have found my perfect foundation at last which is Laura Geller's Balance and Brighten. It is ideal for my skin, lightweight but gives a lovely coverage. Now all I need to find is the perfect blusher/highlighter. I have tried so many blushers for my medium toned skin colour but they all seem to sparkle. I would love to find a product that would give a lovely sheen and glow without the sparkle which I always find quite ageing.You always seem to have a lovely sheen to your cheekbones. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Alison, I had my baby 7 months ago(still b-feeding)& want to get my skin (Combination) into a good condition, I still have some small pigmentation marks near my eyes. I have bought the Liz Earle Ulitimate skincare treat & the Gatineau anniversary kit how can I use the products of these two kits together to get the best results?.

Many thanks indeed.

Cheryl Budd.

Hi Alison, please please please can you do an sbc set containing the following key facial products in 250ml's - lavender, propolis, collagen, cucumber, vit c. I have recently purchased SBC for the first time and am amazed by the results. For an excellent nights sleep and blemish free skin the next day my lavender and propolis is a nightime must.
I am addicted to watching QVC beauty shows there are plenty of fantastic hints and tips to help you improve your beauty regimes. Thanks Zoe Selway xxxxx
