‘Skin Perfect Primer’

Wow! this product is fabulous and very popular!

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

MAXIMIZE YOUR LASHES

9a

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

facial-washing

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.

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!

Some important tips, to get you through the ‘festive season’

Ladies, it’s the countdown to the busiest time of the year – and I don’t just mean anything work or family related – I mean socialising, looking our best and feeling fabulous (sometimes when all we would rather do is snuggle up in front of a good film with a large glass of something delicious…..)

 

 

So, I have some tips, to get you through the ‘season’

Make sure you have a Dermalogica Multi Vitamin Power Recovery.  This take 10 minutes max and knock 10 years off – or at least they lift the darkness from under those tired eyes.  Use it every 5 days – or as I have instructed you – and Cinderella shall go to the ball!

Eat something before you go out.  No matter how rushed you are, make sure you have something to eat just before you leave the house – pre lippie.  This works on so many levels;

Chances are you haven’t had much to eat due to being busy, so this will line the stomach so the first drink doesn’t act like the 5th drink.

It will prevent you wading your way through the bread selection before you have even chosen your starter, or ordering fries when you vowed to yourself you wouldn’t – which has 2 benefits, you don’t fill up so the food is a waste of money/can’t manage it and it decreases the calorie tally by about 400 (depending on the butter factor)

It’s a win win and you will remember it all!

Alternate alcoholic drinks with non alcoholic, and preferably water.  This dilutes the alcohol which helps the hangover, it rehydrates so that you don’t look and feel like a dried up prune the next day and it gives your skin a fresh Christmas glow…..

Re apply your lip gloss or lipstick each and every time you visit the ladies (or gents), this will lift your face and frame your smile – you should ALWAYS take the time to look gorgeous……Work it Girl!!

Book in for a post festivities, deeply cleansing treatment so you know that whatever happens, rescue is on the horizon!

And most of all have an amazing Christmas and Happy New Year from all at Wendy O’Hare Skin Care!

Lots of Love!

Lauren, Emily, Jade, Tracey and Wendy xx

Sleeping Well Creates Beautiful Skin

 

Skin Care Benefits Of A Good Night’s Sleep

 

We all know the benefits that a good night’s sleep can bring. That is why adults need to get 7-9 hours of sleep a night for the body to be working at its optimum rate. People lacking in sleep have problems that include weight gain, depression and mood swings. The body is at a higher risk for heart disease, diabetes and the inability to handle stress.

These are all medical reasons to get a good night’s sleep. Cosmetically, a lack of sleep results in dark circles, puffy eyes, and sallow skin.

So in order to have your skin care routine have the best results possible, I encourage my client’s to create a healthy sleep routine. Eight things I recommend to get a good night’s sleep.

Create a sleep schedule and try to stick by it. Research shows that going to bed and rising the same time everyday helps the body to recharge itself naturally.

Try to avoid looking at Computers and Television an hour before sleeping. There is a blue tone light that confuses our body clock as to what time of day it is.

Sleep in a dark room with black out shades if possible. This allows the body to go into a deeper sleep pattern.

Keep temperatures at a cooler level so as to not interrupt your sleep by getting overheated.

Take a warm bath with Hops or Lavender extract to relax the muscles shortly before retiring.

Try reading relaxing or positive material before sleep to avoid thinking about the stresses of the day.

Getting sunlight during the day and exercise will increase the quality of your sleep. Try to add this into your daily routine.

Listening to a type of “white noise” whether it is a fan or sound machine will affect your brain waves and relax you.

I guarantee if you start improving your sleeping habits, you will see a dramatic improvement in your skin. Looking great is something that comes from treating your body well and following The Perfect Skin Care Routine.
