Ditch the red face with Elemis

Are you feeling the cold at the moment? Looking outside at the snow still hanging around makes me shiver without going outside, and given that I spend most of my time indoors writing about spas in the UK and don’t even have to go outside much, that’s a pretty mean feat.

Man Up? (or – do you prefer a male spa therapist?)

Man Up?
