Broad Spectrum Sunscreen
Every day without fail - in both summer and winter - I wear SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defence SPF50. This sunscreen has an UV filtering system that provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and also acts as a great base for my make-up.
Aromatherapy Associates Deep Relax Bath & Shower Oil
This bath and shower oil is wonderfully indulgent, calming and relaxing, plus it’s amazingly moisturising for the skin. After busy days, this is my saviour!
Which one beauty treatment should all women try?
I have been in the beauty and aesthetics industry for over 30 years now and have a real passion for working with innovative technologies that are easy to use and deliver proven and tangible results for all people. The most popular treatment at Nakedhealth, the UK flagship for SkinCeuticals, is undoubtedly the SkinCeuticals facial which is custom blended to suit the individual’s skin ensuring they achieve the ultimate skin care results using this scientifically-backed range of cosmeceutical skin care. Adding a microdermabrasion treatment before the bespoke facial helps prepare the skin and allow better penetration of the products. This is the kind of facial that gets people commenting on how well you look!
Which beauty treatment could you live without?
Sunbeds. They are just so damaging and ageing to the skin. With such sophisticated self tanning products in the market, I don’t think there’s any need for them. At Nakedhealth we use the Beau Visage advanced imaging technology to analyse the skin’s health 2mm below the surface. This helps us detect UV damage and set about trying to restore the skin’s health. We are also very conscious that skin cancer is on the rise, yet is easily treated and cured if detected early. We use the MoleMate screening device to quickly scan individual moles to assess if a mole is cause for concern. Patients are quickly referred to our in-clinic doctor or medical specialist if required.
What beauty trends are you predicting for 2012?
We will see more scientific breakthroughs in the world of cosmecueticals. In particular serums for the treatment of skin issues including rosacea (redness), pigmentation and acne. This level of treatment can only be prescribed by a skin specialist and has to be monitored as to its use. Effective treatment products such as these will never be available in the same strengths at the local chemist or department store.
With non-surgical anti-ageing solutions we will see even more subtle facial fillers come to market and more people will be looking at their hands and décolletage to match their facial rejuvenation treatments.
Any new beauty treatments coming out in the New Year?
The technology with current treatments will get better. For example, laser hair removal will get faster as the spot sizes you can treat get larger.
The ability to treat the skin by mesotherapy (injecting just under the surface) to improve health will get more sophisticated.
Prescribed skin care by professionals will become more scientific with better results as products improve all the time.
Skin conditions such as rosacea will have more of a platform with better treatments.
