AN award-winning beauty specialist from the Isle of Wight visited the New Forest to offer health advice and share some of her skincare secrets.

Best-selling author and broadcaster Liz Earle, whose Naturally Active Skincare company is based in Ryde, spoke to ladies at the five-star Chewton Glen Hotel in New Milton.

Women present at the autumn skincare event were taught about the benefits of vital oils in diet and skincare, and they also enjoyed a three-course lunch prepared by the hotel's award-winning chefs.
