Bridal Beauty Prep

I have a friend, we'll call her Dora! She lives in Sydney, Australia and is getting married this December, I was asked if I could put together a bit of a bridal skincare survival guide to help Dora with her skincare prep leading up to the wedding. I have made notes of things I think she will need, and a bit of a programme for the months leading up to the wedding. 
It inspired me to do it as a blog post as I thought some of my clients might find it interesting too and for anyone else that is planning a big event and wants their skin to look in tip top condition, also Dora can have a read at her leisure in Aus!

Skincare Series 2: Dehydrated

So the second of the skincare series covers Dehydration, as oppose to a skin type such as dry or combination, dehydration is a skin condition. 

Skincare Series 1: DRY

Here is the first of my skincare series to help you diagnose better your skin type and pick products that most suit. 

Skincare Routine Guide:

It can be difficult to get into a really good skincare routine especially if your unsure which order to use your products, I have put together a guide to help understand which way to layer your products to get the best results. There's a morning routine and an evening routine.

5 New Year Beauty Resolutions 2017!

So its that time of year again where we set unreal expectations that are out of the window quicker than the fitness DVD you ordered has even arrived!! Just me? Whoops! Joking apart I do think January is a good time to make some changes, with the busy period of Christmas over I like to work on things that make feel healthier and better about myself. Something that falls into that is giving my skincare and beauty routine a bit of an overhaul, here's my 5 beauty resolutions that I'm aiming for this new year, hopefully it will give you some inspiration as to setting yours... 

Spray Tan Q&A

There is nothing like a spray tan to give you an instant pick me up! I always feel so good after I've had one, it gives you that summer feeling, makes you feel slimmer and just generally feel more confident. One of my new years resolutions was to do more things that make me feel good (which of course covered the usual, exercise and eating well) but small things like having a relaxing bath, sitting to read a book and self tanning also came under that list. So if you've never tried it, what are you waiting for? 

I've put together some answers to the questions I get asked the most by clients in the salon when it comes to spray tans:
