I receive a lot of questions about coping with anxiety, dealing with depression and how to manage mental health so I have created an episode that directly answers all of those questions in one place. I am not a mental health professional, I am not qualified, these are simply the tactics I have used in my own life that I have found to be extremely useful.

In this bonus episode I answer one of the questions I get the most on email, social media and in person and that's 'what's your favourite beauty product?' And, in order to make it fair, it's a Top 10 covering skincare, makeup and gadgets. All of this is in my humble opinion and, I hope it goes without saying, that this episode was not produced in conjunction with the brands involved. I have not been paid to mention these products, although Elizabeth Arden did sponsor the episode with Dr Dendy Engelman back in September. These are my independent thoughts and feelings having used the products, although as a beauty journalist I am sent some of the product featured without charge.

First up, my go-to hydrating skincare: Clinique Moisture Surge Supercharged Hydrating Concentrate

I started using retinol just before my 40th birthday last year. Here's what I've used and why it's now an integral part of my routine:

• Paula's Choice Resist Anti-Ageing Retinol Serum.
• Paula's Choice Clinical 1% Retinol
• Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night Serum.
• Neostrata Skin Active Retinol + NAG Complex

There are so many benefits to cold showers, but before you can feel all the goodness - as outlined in last week's show - you first have to tolerate standing under a shower of cold water for as long as you can. In this update show we examine how it feels after just a week and whether this is a habit that'll actually stick...
