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!
