I’m Elaine Hunter, a Scottish journalist and editor with more than 25 years’ experience writing about beauty, lifestyle and the things that matter to women. I’m also a mum of four, and now firmly in midlife – which means I’ve reached the stage where I want products that genuinely work, travel that feels worth the effort, and advice that’s useful rather than preachy. Midlife Glow Editor is where I share the things I discover along the way, from beauty and skincare to menopause, wellbeing, family life and travel.

I’ve spent much of my career reviewing, researching and asking questions for a living, so you won’t find me declaring something “amazing” just because it arrived in a pretty box. I’ll try it, question it and tell you what I really think – including when something simply isn’t worth the money. Think of Midlife Glow Editor as a knowledgeable friend who’s done the homework first: honest reviews, practical advice, a little humour and plenty of proof that midlife can be a pretty fabulous place to be.
