N.V. Perricone

untitledN.V.Perricone is a brand that has been created by the dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone. This particular skincare product boasts to offer consumers a hassle free and clear-cut yet extremely well-investigated formula.

The new and innovative range has been given the name the Neuropeptide collection and is entirely based on neuropeptides. Neuropeptides are in fact miniscule strings of amino acids that in turn supply a connection between the brain and the action of nerves in the skin. Dr. Perricone has given this concept the nickname ‘Brain-Beauty Connection’.

These neuropeptides occur naturally within everyone and have a huge effect on both the skin and body’s structure; however they do tend to weaken over the years. Reintroducing them to our bodies in turn re-kindles the body’s own repair system. This will act to retain youthful skin as well as slow the signs of premature ageing

Unlike some skincare and anti-ageing products, this is a long term solution as appose to a temporary fix.

The Neuropeptide collection consists of a range of five skin friendly products. These five products include the Neuropeptide Facial Conformer, which is priced at a total of £445. This particular product is the best seller in the range, possibly because it boasts to reduce the appearance of fine lines, whilst also improving the skins radiance and elasticity, as well as reducing puffiness, tiny veins and any unsightly under-eye circles.

Pedi, Steady Go!

pedicure404x300We are almost in the height of summer meaning lazy days spent at the beach, picnics in the park and of course an array of summer sandals hitting the shops…cue perfectly pedicured toes.

However with our feet living in uggs for the past couple of months our feet seem to be showcasing none other than unsightly bunions, chipped polish and painful blisters. So if you suffer from worn and swollen feet why not give the Dorchester Spa’s Luxurious Caviar Pedicure. An hour and ten minutes worth of treatments costs £95 and includes the application of a luxury caviar foot mask, which works to soothe, hydrate and soften the skin. The properties in the Caviar also help to prevent the signs of ageing.

Once the caviar has been applied to the problem area a Turkish salt scrub is then used in order to smooth the skin, the feet are then wrapped in a pair of ‘heated booties’ that leave the skin and feet feeling revitalised and invigorated.

If you suffer from peeling, bumpy and red skin then the Blueberry Smoothie natural chemical peel from EF Medispa is the option for you and costs £100 for a 45 minute treatment which involves cleansing the feet with hot towels, using the skin friendly rosewater. CosMedix cleanser is then applied to the problem areas in order to prep the skin for the Blueberry Smoothie treatment; this consists of a light chemical peel, which contains no artificial additives.

The result is feet that are extremely smooth and soft, those that opt for this treatment will notice the skin on the feet flaking revealing a new layer of Pedi-perfect skin
