HOW TO MAKE YOUR PERFUME LAST LONGER...

We all love to wear perfume but not all perfumes last long. A good tip on how to make your perfume last longer is to put an unscented moisturizer on first and then spray on your perfume a few seconds later.

There is a lot of alcohol in perfume which when sprayed on just evaporates quickly. However if you spray it onto a moisturized skin it sticks much better.

WHAT IS A MICRODERMABRATION TREATMENT…?

 

The microdermabrasion facial has come into the UK but started in Hollywood. It’s what they like to call an ‘instant facelift’, which is obviously a lot less money and a far more invasive treatment than plastic surgery.

Basically the treatment involves the application of tiny rough grains which help to exfoliate away the surface layer of your skin. The idea is that the back and forth motion they use for this treatment removes the top layer (the stratum comeum). This then makes the skin thinks that an injury has occurred and rushes to replace the lost skin cells with new and healthy ones.

Once the skin heals it brings with it newer skin cells which look and feel smoother and any skin imperfections like sun damage, blemishes and fine lines are removed, leaving you with a fresh, clean, bright and new complexion.

They say that having a microdermabration treatment every four to six weeks will keep your skin looking radiant and bright all year round.

TOP TIPS ON HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR SKIN THIS AUTUMN...

 

As Autumn begins to arrive after a long hot summer, and our skins have enjoyed some serious sun during the summer, the chances are it now needs a bit of a moisturising boost to get it back to its usual self.

The cooler the autumn means that your skin needs greater protection. Knowing your skin type is an essential part of getting your skin in tip top condition. Even oily skin types might need a richer lotion to stop their skin from drying out.

Don't get rid of your sun creams just yet as the sun rays can still cause damage to your skin even in the Autumn sun.

Exfoliate more often and get into a good routine of regularly applying a moisturiser.

Choose a gentle cleanser and rejuvenate your skin with a serum, and don't forget to look after your lips which can become chapped and dry in the Autumn.

Remember to get some extra Vitamin C which they now say works as an antioxidant, and slows the rate of free-radical damage which causes skin dryness, fine lines and wrinkles.
