Teal tips take off for OPI…

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Join forces with celebrities Carol Vorderman, Terri Dwyer, Sam Siddall and our patron Jenny Agutter in getting behind our Teal Tips campaign this March, to mark Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 2012.

The initiative, with OPI’s Teal the Cows Come Home nail lacquer, is aimed at raising awareness of ovarian cancer and some invaluable funds for Ovacome.

Teal is to ovarian cancer as pink is to breast cancer. The idea is that by wearing such a striking colour, women will start talking about the disease and the BEAT ovarian cancer acronym of the main symptoms:

B is for bloating that does not come and go.

E is for eating less and feeling fuller quicker.

A is for abdominal pain and

T is for telling your GP.

We are urging you to buy Opi Teal the Cows Come Home Lacquer, with £1 from every bottle bought being donated to Ovacome.

Support Teal Tips and buy a bottle of OPI’s Teal the Cows Come Home.  £1 will be donated to Ovacome for every bottle sold.

The Not-So-Hot Spot….

Sunday, February 26th, 2012

Age spots or brown spots…… if you have them then no doubt you have them.

Age spots, scientifically called hyper-pigmentation, is caused by the over-production of melanin in skin, either by excessive sun exposure, scarring, or hormones, leading to an uneven, mottled skin tone.

The latest market research reveals these spots can make skin look older as much as a wrinkle can, which is why we are seeing so many brightening products competing for shelf space.

Dermalogica ChromaWhite is the answer for brighter, more luminous skin.

Pure Light SPF30 and the entire ChromaWhite TRx system are hydroquinone-free. Hydroquinone is a skin lightening ingredient that can be irritating to the skin and in very rare cases can actually make skin darker.

If brighter, more luminous, and healthy skin is on your wish list, then Dermalogica’s ChromaWhite TRx system could be right for you.

The production of skin pigmentation is a multi-step process. Consequently, a multi-step system must be used to control discolouration and produce visible brightening results. When used morning and night, Dermalogica’s ChromaWhite delivers synergistic, around-the-clock treatment and prevention of  hyper-pigmentation.

 

 

have you met your masque?

Friday, February 24th, 2012

Dermalogica have reformulated 2 of their masques. Skin Refining masque and Skin Hydrating Masque.

These powerful, problem-solving Dermalogica Masques are designed for use one to two times per week. Face masques are a great at home treatment to give our skin an added boost. Whether you let the masque do its magic as you’re doing the cooking or when you’re chilling out, there is no excuse to miss out, everybody can squeeze in a masque once a week to help our skin health!

Dehydration and congestion are the top concerns, due lifestyle, travel and environment. But now the reformulation of Dermalogica’s Skin Hydrating and Skin Refining Masque are great quick-fix supplements to help overcome key skin concerns!

The new formulations address two primary skin care issues: reducing oiliness and refining the appearance of pores, and the need for deep hydration.

The Updated Skin Hydrating Masque has an improved formula to boost the skin hydration long after the masque has been removed!

- Dehydration is quenched through new ingredients and technology
- Proven to be 5 times more powerful, forming a hydrating net over skin to continuously deliver water
- Helps regulate moisture content and long term water retention
- Stimulates skin’s natural moisturising factor in its ability to old water in the skin.

The Updated Skin Refining Masque’s improved formula will regulate over-productive oil glands while reducing pore size!

- Natural earth clays absorb excess oil from deep within the pores. Lifts surface impurities and clears away congestion
- Black cumin oil help control inflation from breakouts common in oily skin
- Plant Botanical’s soothes and reduces inflammation while controlling bacteria

These Dermalogica products used once a week can help maintain the healthy function of the skin and keep serious skin problems like breakouts and dry skin related sensitivity at bay.
