Sali Hughes on beauty: if you can’t use retinoids, these proven anti-ageing formulas are the next best thing - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anyone with an internet connection will no doubt have heard that retinoids – a group of vitamin A-based compounds – are the most evidenced and effective ingredients in treating the visible signs of skin ageing. Message received loud and clear. But what often goes unheard are the voices of many beauty consumers who have found that they simply cannot use them. All too often, I see experts online telling those complaining of discomfort, unremitting dryness, persistent redness, stinging or angry rea
Sali Hughes on beauty: lip gloss is back in vogue and these new formulas have me hooked - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m deeply suspicious of people who never change their minds. To be so completely sure of anything as to be permanently entrenched in any position isn’t something I admire, which is why I shove an olive into my mouth every couple of years and hope it finally takes. I do the same with lip gloss, with historically similar results. Fashion has, until recently, been on my side.

From face tints and self-tan to summer scents, these lightweight buys saw me through multiple heatwaves You’ll normally find me looking back on my favourite products of the past 12 months at year’s end.

Sali Hughes on beauty: think facial sunscreens are greasy? The best are featherlight, fresh and invisible - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Almost half of UK adults do not apply sunscreen daily. If you think even this woeful figure sounds surprisingly high, I agree with you – some surveys have daily SPF use as low as 8% in the male adult population. My own feeling, based on hundreds of conversations with the UV-reckless, is that most would probably offer “greasy texture and feel” as their defence. And yet almost a third of the population wear moisturiser. So what if I told you that sunscreen formulation has improved dramatically in
