Do You Feel The Ravages of Winter Have Taken Their Toll On Your Skin?

With Spring around the corner, let’s hope we can finally kiss goodbye to the Winter weather of the last few months, but where do we start to get our skin in good condition…

10 Top Tips to Get Your Skin looking and feeling great

1. First of all, throw away any skin care products you don’t use or are past their recommended shelf life.
2. Choose a cleanser, toner and moisturiser suitable for your skin type and use daily.
3. If your skin is sensitive, ensure this is the over-riding factor you keep in mind when choosing your products.
4. Use products with a sun protection factor to protect your skin.
5. Exfoliate 1-3 times a week to give your skin a healthy glow.
6. If your skin is feeling particularly oily, use a deep cleansing mask on the oily areas to remove excess oil and give your skin a deep clean.
7. If your skin is feeling dry, use a hydrating mask on the dry areas to give your skin a surge of moisture.
8. You may want to invest in an eye cream and night cream in the evening, if you are over 25, in place of your day time moisturiser.
9. Removing your make-up every night need only take a couple of minutes and will leave your skin looking and feeling so much better.
10. Treat yourself to regular facials.

Just Got Engaged?

If organising your wedding seems like a daunting task, then a good place to start is at a Wedding Fair

This Sunday, 6 March 2011, visit the Quorn Grange Wedding Fair, Quorn Grange Hotel, 88 Wood Lane, Quorn, Leicestershire LE12 8DB

Between 11 am and 4 pm.

The 6 main benefits of a Wedding Fair are:

1)        You get to look around the venue where the wedding fair is being         held.  This enables you to:

– See how the venue looks when set up for a wedding and assess whether it would be suitable as a possible wedding venue for yourselves

– Meet the Wedding Co-ordinator, ask any questions you may have and see if your date is available

2)        You will get to meet local wedding suppliers.   This will enable you to establish which suppliers provide a service/products that are right for      your wedding and the right person/company for you

3)        You will get an idea of each company’s style by viewing their work on             show and can also take advantage of any special show offers.

4)        Many wedding suppliers have been in the business a long time and      have a wealth of knowledge and tips they can give you, as well as     suggestions and ideas to help you in your planning.

5)        By using local suppliers, it will ensure you don’t have to incur high      travel expenses for suppliers to get to you or your venue.

6)        A wedding fair give you ideas on every part of your wedding, some you may have thought of, others you may not, but whatever your budget, there will be something to suit you.

Have You Got Items in Your Make-up Bag You’ve Had For Years?

Don’t Know Where to Start?

8 Top Tips to De-Clutter and Start Afresh

Do you find when you’re getting ready to go out, you are searching through your make-up bag for that special lip gloss or eye liner, only to find you have to rummage through products that have been in there for years?

Well you’re not on your own.  So, where do we start to de-clutter and start afresh:-

1. Gather all your make-up products together from around the house, including your make-up bag, drawers, cupboards, pockets, handbag.
2. Arrange all the same items together.
3. Throw away anything you have had for 2 years or longer.
4. Smell everything and throw away anything that doesn’t smell as it should.
5. A mascara should be changed every 3 months.
6. Throw away anything that is chipped, runny or messy, brushes that are falling apart and powder puffs/sponges that are dirty or falling apart.
7. Check to see if any liquids have separated—if so, dispose of them.
8. Throw away anything that you never use and are not likely to use, including colours that are pasty or dull looking.

You can now replace any essential items you need, whether it be for a day or evening make-up look!
