About My Skin:
Luckily, I’ve never been one to really suffer with my skin. The odd pre-menstrual breakout here and there or maybe some patches of dryness following weather changes, but other than that, I’ve always been pretty happy with the condition of my skin. However, at the start of 2022, I had a number of stressful months and let me tell you, my skin suffered.

How to get Long Lasting Hair Removal!
Are you ready to ditch your razor?
The worry of unwanted hair can get boring. I don’t know about you, but sometimes the thought of even having to jump in the shower to shave is so off-putting. I’d much rather wear an outfit that would just cover it up, than put in the constant effort.
BUT… now there is a solution that can solve all of our hair-issues.
Introducing IPL Hair Removal.
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. This is the technique that we use to to target your hair follicles and create long lasting Hair Removal.
For IPL, we need hair that has pigment. So we can treat Black, Brown and Light Brown Hair. We CANNOT treat blonde, grey, white or red hair. The reason for this is because dark colours are able to absorb the light. In fact, the darker the hair, the better the results.

WHY YOU SHOULD BE PROTECTING YOUR SKIN
Did you know, that you should use a form of protection on your skin every single day? - Yes, I know we are coming up to the Summer months, so it might be now that you are thinking of getting your SPF out the back of the drawer. But… really, you need to be applying a protective layer over your skin every day throughout the year.

There are so many easy ways to protect your skin, without even thinking about it. Today, we are going to be sharing some of these useful hints and tips with you.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP AND WHY YOU NEED IT
It’s true what they say. You really do need your Beauty Sleep.
Getting enough sleep every night is so important when it comes to looking after Yourself. Sleep allows your body and mind to recharge, which means that you are refreshed and ready when you wake up. It contributes to so much. Sleep can affect your brain power, your health, your skin, hair and nails, your mental state, and just your general everyday life.
But, are you getting enough sleep every night?
How Much Sleep Do You Need?
On average, the amount of hours adults need, per night, is 7-9 hours. The amount of sleep you need depends on your age. After doing some research, I found this.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SKIN, HAIR AND NAILS
Our skin is made up of 2 main layers. The epidermis the dermis. Talking very basically, the epidermis is at the top, where we can see and touch, and underneath is the dermis at the bottom. The skin cells are created and made in the dermis, over time they travel upwards, and become dead skin cells at the top of the epidermis, and the new cells underneath become the new dead skin cells (this is called cell turnover.)
When we apply creams topically, especially ones that contain Vitamin A – they are feeding the epidermis and making it healthier, so it looks and feels good. But the cells being created in the dermis are the same cells that we may have concerns with – e.g. dehydration, aging, etc. BUT when we take supplements, we are feeding the cells at the dermis. The cells at the dermis become healthier, and as they move to the top surface, they are healthier, and look better, without the concerns!

HAIR CRIMES AND HOW TO FIX THEM WITH OLAPLEX
Perhaps this is a little against the grain.
We read and hear all sorts of advice about how to look after our hair. In reality, though, we all carry out Hair Crimes.
We’re calling them hair crimes because they’re things we shouldn’t do, but we do them anyway.
Guilty as charged.
We know the difference between good and bad.
We get told by our stylists what we should do when we see them.
The lines between right and wrong naturally become blurred.
We’re busy people!
We’re only human.
We all want things to be convenient.
Quick, easy, simple.
Bish, Bash, Bosh, so they say.
Who wants to make more work for themselves, anyway?!
Let’s take a look at the things we know we shouldn’t do, but we do anyway…

SKIN ROUTINE FOR TEENAGERS
When is the best time to start a Skin Care Regime?
The answer is simple. - the sooner, the better.
You simply can’t put a number on it. You should be using products on your skin everyday. Whether that’s a soft moisturiser when you’re younger. Or when turning double figures, you might even be using a gentle cleanser, as well as a moisturiser.
Becoming a teenager can be hard. Your hormones start kicking in and your emotions can sometimes seem like you’re on a rollercoaster. However, one thing that doesn’t have to be difficult is your skin. Yes, we all know that when becoming a teenager, our hormonal imbalance can sometimes have negative effects on our skin and quite often, we become more oily-prone. But, with the right skincare products, and a simple, yet effective routine, you can get your skin under control.

5 TYPES OF HAIR DAMAGE
The health of your hair makes a big difference to the way your hair will look and feel. When you’re with us in the salon, it can also play a part in what service we offer, how your hair will behave and the result.
4 out of the 5 types of damage occur outside of the salon, meaning even the most virgin hair (hair untreated by colour or bleach) can be damaged or can break from the most mundane lifestyle choices.
Being aware of how damage generally occurs on a day-to-day basis is the best way of preventing unnecessary stress to your hair AND along with the use of Olaplex products, we can work together to fix any current damage and prevent more.
