have recently been diagnosed with a perfume allergy and am trying to find unperfumed hair styling products. I can get unperfumed hair spray from my local boots branch but no other unperfumed hair styling products and would like advise as to where I can get some please.

I have yellow-ish teeth, that no amount of whitening toothpaste can help, and professional bleaching isn't an option at the moment - can anyone recommend a lipstick that doesn't make the problem look worse?

Question from SarahWB
Coming from NYC, manicures in London seem like an indulgence as opposed to a necessity. Is there any place that offers a cheap, but good manicure?

Have you heard anything about whether Guerlain are reintroducing Teint Dore Tinted Liquid?

I bought a tube of La Roche-Posay moisturiser whilst on holiday in France this year, and it's been great for my skin ... but I'm about to run out. Where can I buy it in the UK ?

Hello, Could you suggest a remedy to flush out my system after having had bio-electric functions diagnotics treatment please? It got rid of my vertigo after an accident about 4/5 years ago but left me with dreadful symptoms whereby I get red patches on my face and neck after rinsing my face in cool water in the morning. In the evening, when I remove my make-up, my skin is even worse. I also get red long welts/lines on my body unexpectedly which can be embarrassing - esp. on my arms/decoll. in the Summer. Nelsons Pharmacy recommended Bacillinum 30C which didn't do the trick (cleanse my liver?) but were shocked when I told them the names of the remedies the homeopath had given me to take all at once. She said she wanted to work on my childhood illnesses and it wouldn't be wise to stop treatments with her after getting rid of my vertigo. I think I was so relieved at the above that I trusted her a bit too much. Some of the rememedies were toxoplasmosis D5, Salmonella Tuyph D5, Ascoraden D8, Salmonella Hyphibirium D5, Pulsatilla D4, Medorrhinum D10. A whole list. Is there something I can use which could gently cleanse or a remedy to flush out anything that may be remaining in my body? I've just read in Mail on Sunday supplement about Clinique for redness but I don't really want to use anything for, say, rosacea, when I don't really suffer from that. Any thoughts most welcome :-). Thank you Marcia

Question from Vanessa Barneby
I have combination skin - oily T zone with dry patches, and still prone to adolescent outbreaks even though i'm pushing 32... what's the best moisturizer to tackle the dry areas without making my face horribly greasy?

Question from kate
Dear Alice I am 35 years old and, whilst I have always used anti-ageing moisturisers, I am starting to see lots of lines on my forehead and around my eyes. Lots of my friends are having botox but I want to use natural methods only. What would you suggest? Thanks so much.

Question from Minxy Sue
Can you recommend a really good face masque? With winter nights coming in, I'd like a really luxurious home treatment (for dehydrated skin)

Question from Loon
Hi Alice I went to a Sopranos party at the weekend and did my best to look like a classy call girl - leopard print dress, ditto shoes, silicone out-plants, toe nail jewels, green eye shadow and gangster arm candy etc. I completed the look with some bejewelled false eye-lashes. All was well, as I sipped my Fat Tony cocktail, until I noticed the guy I was chatting to was distracted by something north of my eyeliner. A quick dash to the bathroom and to my horror, I realised my dazzling diamante lashes were attached to my eyebrows. No amount of coaxing could get the damn things to stick on my lids. As someone who can probably apply false eye-lashes without blinking, what is the best technique?

I have very straigt fine, eyelashes, please suggest a mascara that is not too expensive and does not clogg up. I am 58 years old with grey hair, work full time and need to look smart.

Question from sandra
Have you any tips for tightening up the skin on my neck. I am a young looking (so I've been told)58 year old but my neck is starting to give the game away!! Thanks

I have mid-dark (asian) skin and find that most sunscreens and sunblocks give my face a weird purplish ashy cast. I've heard that this is because of the titanium dioxide that many formulations use - can you suggest a good product that doesn't contain it? Also, am I right in thinking that sunscreen goes on after moisturiser but before primer/foundation? Thanks!

Question from Roni
Hi Alice, I have light eyelashes and look much better with mascara, but my eyes are very sensitive to something in mascara. It's as if my eyes are being affected by some kind of a fume from it. Is there a safe, healthy mascara product anywhere? Thank you, Roni
