The Derma Roller Facial from Georgia Louise Skincare.

Priced at £200 for a facial treatment that lasts 60 minutes, this is the ideal alternative to an invasive chemical peel or laser resurfacing treatment.

The Derma Roller consists of a rejuvenating facial skin treatment that has undergone vigorous scientific tests in order to prove its effectiveness.  The best bit is the Derma Roller Facial claims to deliver results quicker than more aggressive facial products that are currently on the market.
It’s certainly proving a popular treatment with the A-list celebrities as it’s not only effective it’s also less painful than other more extreme procedures.

The procedure works by using a hand held roller covered in titanium, micro needles are then rolled over the skin, and these needles even cover the sensitive places such as the delicate eye area.  The micro needles puncture the top layer of the complexion hundreds of times in order to part the pores without damaging them.  This process enables the skin to take in valuable nutrients which are featured in the facial products applied during the facial.   The body responds to these skin friendly elements by instigating a healing process as well as activating collagen and elastin production, this in turn rebuilds the skin.

While a chemical peel or a laser treatment will remove the top layer of skin, this process won’t therefore expose the skin to infection.

The Derma Roller Facial can be purchased at the Georgia Skincare salon, which is situated just off Knightsbridge.  The unique salon is smaller than most but offers great one-to-one care.   Each customer will be questioned about their standard skincare routine in order to apply a treatment that will achieve the best results.

Studio Secrets eye shadow from L’Oreal Paris.

This is the first range of eye shadows created according to the rules of the colorimetric system, meaning that each shade works to complement the natural colour of the iris in order to intensify the eyes.

Violet hue eye shadows work to turn green coloured eyes emerald, blue shades reveal the golden hints in brown coloured eyes, iridescent and chrome shades intensify the depth of ebony eyes and brown, beige and orangey hues bring out blue eyes, and in turn make them appear an incredible shade of azure!

For best results you should apply the eye shadow over the entire eye lid using a sweeping motion and work the product upwards, beginning at the outer corner of the eye and blending the formula right across the eye lid in order to open up the eyes.  This process creates a wide awake and dramatic look.

Studio Secrets Professional eye shadows are available in a variety of effects as well as colours, these include matt, pearlescent and shimmering shades, meaning results created  vary from natural to more intense.  These are the perfect eye shadows for day and night as so many effects can be achieved with each style.   There are pearl and shimmering styles with a certain transparency contained in the formula, which increases the luminosity and in turn creates a radiant look.  The lamellar talc included provides an ultra-soft finish, which is perfect for day time wear.  The formula is extremely light in the matte and satin styles; this is due to the finely ground up particles that are able to optimise coverage without opacity.  The balance between both the white base and the pigments is enhanced in order to create a unique and bold colour.

Summer locks.

It isn’t only your complexion that glows when you get back from abroad, your hair says a lot too.  Summer is the season you can forget about the straightners and instead work the waves.  Hair should adopt a surfer-relaxed style and work messy beachy curls rather than a poker straight style. Think Sienna Miller and Florence Welsh when looking for inspiration and work the textured waves.  In order to achieve such results invest in a hair care product such as Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray, Simply apply the innovative formula to dry locks and scrunch the hair up.

Team your new surfer locks with rosy sun-kissed cheeks by adding a little pink hued blush to your cheeks as well as your everyday bronzer.  Mixing the two products will create a healthy glow.  One such product on the current market that will enable you to create such a look is Clarins Instant Blush Magic Colour.  This clever little product is priced at just £16.50 and claims to adapt to your skin tone in order to give you a healthy glow, it also contains subtle hints of illuminating elements within the formula.  For another look try adding a little of the formula to your lips for an instant hit of colour.  This clever multi-use product is available from an array of beauty counters stocking the Clarins Cosmetic label
