Absolute Pearl Corrector
Back in the days of hell, also known as puberty, Acne was the bane of this travel writer's existence. Zits, spots, white-heads, blackheads, volcanoes – whatever you call it, it was and continues to be a nuisance for the image aware in the crowd. The fallout is also messy and scarring is a reality that a lot of people live with. Step up The Absolute Pearl Corrector. This rather funky little tube of goodness contains real pearl powder and it tackles acne scarring – in a reductive and preventative way. Dark spots are also on the Corrector's hit list and if you're serious about turning things around then this is a strategically sound place to start.
The Glorious Skin Instant Tensor
When the never ending run of Christmas parties begins and your skin's gravity resistance starts to wane, it can take a fair bit of encouraging to get it back on track. Mud masks are messy, Botox takes away your ability to register emotion on your face and surgery – from what you see on reality TV - looks brutal. The Instant Tensor is a refreshingly less invasive alternative and it's satisfying – just like rubbing Vaseline into an old, dried out, leather handbag. Fetishes aside, this stuff makes your skin tingle and if you take a close, post application look, you'll see that your skin is noticeably tighter. It doesn't pull so tight that you blink your lips, but it pulls at the fine, tired out traveller lines and it's a great base for all the other beautifiers that you normally apply to your face.

If you agree that a hefty looking Santa is just a walking advert for obesity and heart disease then perhaps you'll be interested in this potential cure. My token product for the boys this month isn't an exclusively fat destroying acid, nor is it preparation for Britney's alleged weight loss regime – Liposuction, but it is an abdomen tonifying cream that targets the tone and texture of your tummy's skin. I told my fascist gym instructor about this little wonder and while he poo pooed it in favour of 50 crunches and his scarily high, exercise induced endorphin levels, I think it works. I'm also lazy but after a week of massaging my almost flat tummy I noticed a difference. Imagine what would happen if I actually made the most of my gym membership.
