The Naked Truth
Age Resistant Cleanser Well, this has to be a first! Darren McKeown’s first skin care range is called Naked Truth because he insists on not giving false promises. So while he is handy with a needle (he’s the same Darren that re-contoured my jaw-line), you’re not going to find anything on the box that promises... Read More

They’re ridiculously priced at £29 each so it’s an addiction I’ll just have to get over, but... Read More
