New Skinsorial Products from Bare Minerals

Since the launch of the Bare Minerals Skinsorials skincare range this summer, I have found some of them becoming a firm favourite in my routine. Initially the skincare range consists of cleansers, moisturisers and the anti-ageing serum infusion and now they've started to expand the range with 4 new arrivals now and in the new year this will continue with more skin type specific serums and treatments...

Elemis Christmas Kits 2016... The Joy of Giving

As we come into the Autumn thoughts start to lean towards Christmas, I'm not one to start singing carols in October but I do love the Autumn and I like to start to see all the bits coming into the shops so I can browse and start to think of present ideas. It's the same at the salon, we haven't quite got the tree up yet but all of the kits have come in so I thought I would do a round up of all of the Elemis gift sets....

Anti Ageing Tips for the Eyes...

One of the most common concerns I hear from my clients is regarding the eye area, either dark circles, puffiness, lines and generally looking tired.

How to make your make-up last longer...

I personally have tried so many various things to help keep my make up on all day, some of them have worked well and some haven't. I don't believe anyone's make up can literally last all day and look perfect from application to removal and don't believe products that claim to last for 24 hours! However, I do feel that certain things definitely make a difference and help keep my make up on longer, I have a combination/oily skin type but all these tips will work well for a drier skin too, it will just be the actual product used that will differ depending on your skin type...

Its such a treat going to a salon or spa to have a facial, and if you find a good therapist its a great way to keep on top of you skin as it changes from season to season, getting advice on skincare and making sure any problems are being kept at bay.
