What I absolutely love about Gok Wan (apart from the classic moment in episode 3, Series 6 of How to Look Good Naked when he holds a talking colour detector to his face and it declares he is “bright orange”) is reflected in his choice of desert island luxury: Dr.Hauschka lip balm, which coincidentally is also a lovely orange hue. This is a truly amazing product, a golden pot of feel good factor, leaving your lips kissably soft and smooth, without the celebrity price tag or cocktail of unnecessary synthetic ingredients. It may not have a celebrity price tag, but according to this month's edition of Marie Claire it does have a celebrity following, with Jennifer Anniston listing it as her £10 beauty secret (curiously enough she is wearing bright orange in this feature).
Have you ever watched an episode of 10 Years Younger and shuddered in horror as the person standing in front of the mirror is reduced to a list of faults to be corrected by cosmetic surgery? It is the TV equivalent of one of those scary facials where you are scrutinized under a giant magnifying glass only to leave feeling like you are a giant, discoloured, open pore (with crows feet!). Gok, on the other hand, always sees the whole person, celebrates what is truly amazing about the individual and then helps them to blossom. The type of beauty he helps to uncover could never be bought at a Harley Street GPs, just as a million clever polypeptides combinations could never compete with the pure beauty of natural ingredients working in harmony with the whole.
