- “I tried Atopalm's mineral sunscreen stick when we were on holiday in Portugal over the summer, and I soon realized how effective it was when I failed to rub it in, and then noticed a very obvious white stripe down my knee where I had applied it, right next to the bits I'd missed”4:23–4:27
- “It's great to take with you when you're on the go, but make sure to rub it in”4:38–4:46

- “The reason I liked it was because it's like a wish list of better performing skin care ingredients in one serum, including retinaldehyde, my favorite form of retinoid, Matrixyl 3000, one of the best evidence peptide formulations out there”10:17–10:24

About
I’m a journalist in my 50s on a mission to share what really helps us age well, stay strong and feel our best for longer. On The Honest Channel I explore the science, stories and strategies behind healthy aging, skincare, strength, wellness and longevity — always with an evidence-led but honest approach. Here you’ll find interviews with doctors, scientists, nutrition experts, skincare innovators and fitness specialists, alongside inspiring real-life transformations that challenge outdated ideas about aging. You can also follow our popular Rebuilding Mum & Dad series, documenting my parents’ strength-building journey in their 80s as they work to rebuild muscle, protect mobility and stay independent. Along the way, I share my own experiences navigating midlife — from strength training and nutrition to skincare, sleep and the habits that support healthspan and vitality.
