A few Valentine’s tips to help you look and feel your best!

MAXIMIZE YOUR LASHES

All you need is the right mascara, our research from over 6000 eyecurl twitter followers suggests that Clinique High Impact Mascara is the popular choice! But we know this is personal and has many factors that mean your choice maybe different.

Using eyecurl heated eyelash curlers:

Start by applying mascara.  Wiggle the wand back and forth at the roots to deposit as much of it as possible before pulling the wand straight up.

Secondly, curling your lashes. Gently push your lashes from the roots and then move along the length, gently travelling up the lash. (The eyecurl heated eyelash curler is the gold standard, in fact it’s the safest way and kindest way to curl those beautiful lashes.) For lashes worth flashing…

 

REFRESH YOUR COMPLEXION

Body brushing – also called skin brushing – is one of the best ways to care for your skin. It helps to break up fatty deposits, aids in lymphatic drainage and detoxification, and stimulates circulation on top of the basic exfoliation.

Body brushing’s gentle massaging motion of the bristles has a beneficial effect on areas of cellulite, and it is an effective treatment for helping to eliminate toxins from the body. Most of us can’t manage to have a luxury salon treatment every day to revitalise our body and mind, but it is easy to fit in 3-5 minutes of body brushing every morning for similar effects.  Try our Body Face and Balance treatment, currently running on our special winter sale!

 

TRY A SCENTED BODY OIL

Divine Oil

For smooth, glowing skin all over, switch from your normal lotion and apply a lightly fragranced body oil. One of our favourites is  Caudalie Divine Oil.

This dry oil moisturizes, nourishes and enhances the skin thanks to its unique formula made with exceptional blend of oils (grape, hibiscus, sesame and argan) combined with fantastic anti-aging products. It envelops the skin with a subtle, floral and sun-kissed fragrance, with woody notes. This can be purchased on-line or by popping into the Salon.

 

GET A GREAT WAX

There is nothing romantic about getting a bikini wax. But here are a few tips to explain how to make the best of it:

Book it: Your hair has to be long enough—about a quarter-inch—for wax to work. Book your appointment accordingly, approximately every four weeks.

Prep your skin: For the closest wax, exfoliate with a body wash before your appointment, but don’t apply any lotion.

Make sure it’s safe: As a co-developer of the disposable dispenser waxing system  I would recommend using nothing else.  This system uses a disposable head that is only used on you ensuring the highest standards of hygiene.

 

REMOVE YOUR MAKE-UP

Removing your make-up at night is essential for healthy looking skin!  So whether it’s at night, which is the best time or first thing in the morning, don’t forget to cleanse.  You can read more about the ‘Ultimate Cleanse’ at our blog Your step-by-step guide to the ultimate cleanse!

If your out and about or at home this Valentine’s then have a wonderful evening, and if we can help just give us a call.

Thanks for reading!

New Year, Old You?

Its that time of year again, and if you are anything like the rest of us, you have stormed headlong into making decisions, making stern rules and regulations on your own behalf as to how this year is going to be.

 

 

….I’m going to spend more time with the kids, I’m Detoxing, I’m going to lose weight, I’m going to entertain more, I’m going to entertain less, I’m giving up alcohol every other month……

 

And then come April the 1st we are all looking like proper fools, and having ‘failed’ in all our promises to ourselves we are making yet more by denying even a sniff of an Easter Egg.

 

So, what can be different this year, how can we do things that get us to where we want to be easily and in a stress free way?

 

How about a 2013 Detox in a different way? How about detoxing the way you think about the start of a new year?, removing all the wasted promises and doing things differently – after all, it clearly hasn’t worked if we are back again, like groundhog day, doing the same things and as a result, ‘not’ achieving anything.

 

Try ‘spinning’ your detox….making it a positive and not a list of ‘not allowed’, ‘can’t have’s’ and ‘give up’s’.  Detox is Spring Cleaning for our bodies, having a good clear out so that you can start fresh, feeling cleansed and energised. We are very good at getting into ‘auto pilot’ with our living and eating habits and if we don’t force change then we will never know if we could feel better, this is what detox is truly about – getting back to basics so that you can find out what really works for you and also how it feels to feel really good!  Fuelling your body to fuel your life.  Eating differently to change your life.

 

I would also recommend a long term programme, 30 days is a good target, it takes 21 days to make or break a habit, so 30 keeps us out of the danger zone, less likely to ‘revert back’ – and it makes it so much easier to keep up with the new regime as the new regime has become your ‘good’ habit.

 

Remove caffeine, alcohol, dairy, wheat, sugar and meat and give life to your body with delicious fish, seafood, vegetables, fruits, beans, pulses, salads, nuts water, herbal teas and brown rice and see how you glow, both on the inside and out……sounds hard?

 

Try roasting cherry tomatoes, red peppers and courgettes with whole garlic cloves, sprinkled with oregano and drizzled with olive oil.  Add chopped Feta cheese and roast a little more until softened, serve on  a bowl of nutty short grain brown rice – add a salmon steak if preferred.  Doesn’t sound too bad does it?

 

Book yourself in for a Detox treatment at Wendy O’Hare Skin Care such as their fabulous Emergence Detox Treatment (which is on offer during January and February)! to make the whole process that much more luxurious…smooth, soft, honed and toned skin and a glowing complexion, you can soon get used to it!

 

If you change the way you think about detox then change will happen, make it a positive process and you will look forward to it.

 

So, become your own ‘spin doctor’ in 2013 and see how fabulous the results are this time next year!
