Aesop Lucent Facial Concentrate
This is definitely something a bit different from Aesop. I often associate them only with skincare that’s nourishing and filled mostly with luxurious but basic natural ingredients – some great, some I don’t like quite as much. The Lucent Facial Concentrate definitely falls into the former and is loaded with active ingredients. The serum, and that’s…

Aesop Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Skin Care
Not a review as such, more than a public service announcement! Aesop’s Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant skin care is a great all rounder regime for normal/dry skin that’s designed to hydrate, re-balance and protect against environmental and oxidation damage. I’ve reviewed a lot of the products in the range over the last year or so but as…

Treatment Toners from Aesop
Most toners are a total false economy and are often only useful to make the skin ‘feel nice’. They usually provide very little function and it’s a total myth about them removing excess cleanser; there is never excess cleanser as long as you’re using one with water. So, what makes Aesop toners different? They’re brilliant…

Summer is well and truly in full-swing, although you wouldn’t know it from looking out the window this week.

Refreshing Summer Skin Care from Aesop
I get asked a lot about Aesop, a lot, and I have to be blunt when I say that from a consumer’s point of view, they’re hugely impenetrable brand. Even doing what I do and doing it for so long, it’s hard to know where to start. All their products have weird and wonderful names, they’re all…

Too Many Brussels Sprouts? Aesop Post-Poo Drops To The Rescue
Christmas is the time of year for family, over-eating and over-drinking; all of which produce a copious amount of strain on your bathroom. Aesop Post-Poo Drops (more offensively titled in its original French) are a beautiful mix of essential oils of lemon, mandarin peel, tangerine, ylang-ylang and pelargonium oil. A liberal number of drops placed…

Christmas with Aesop: The Guild of Artisans Gift Kits
If you’re yet to try Aesop products, this Christmas is your perfect opportunity by adding them to your wish list. Despite their increasingly smug and violently pretentious marketing (seriously, you don’t have to read their press releases but their Twitter account will give you a rough idea of what I’m on about) the products stand…

Launching in September, Aesop have remastered their now 10 year old fragrance with the new Aesop Marrakech Intense, designed by Barnabé Fillion. This is going to be huge. I can feel it.

Aesop Petitgrain Hydrating Body Gel
It’s been 25 degrees here in Huddersfield today without a single cloud in the sky. I’ve popped inside to write this as it’s started to cool down but I’ll need to nip back into the garden to water the plants so I’ll be brief. I’ve kept from frazzling in the sun today with the aid…
