This post contains honest, unbiased opinions of a product sent to me for review purposes.
I received a trial size of the treatment which I did not pay for.
Apologies for the lateness of this post. I’ve been trying to soak up the sun whilst we have it (can you believe it’s meant to snow next week?!) and I’ve been saving this post for awhile as this is a multi-purpose product and I wanted to see exactly how many ways I could use it.
Today I am reviewing the Stellar Face Balm from Balance Me.
This treatment is available in two sizes:
- 50ml for £18.00
- 7ml for £5.00
I received a 7ml tub which I did not pay for.
The 7ml is the perfect size to keep in your pocket, bag etc so you can take it out and about with you.
INGREDIENTS: Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter***, Mangifera indica (mango) seed butter, Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, Cera alba (unrefined beeswax), Cocos nucifera (virgin coconut) oil***, Rosa canina (rosehip) fruit oil, Daucus carota sativa (carrot) tissue oil, Tocopherol (vitamin E), Citrus aurantium (neroli)*, Citrus reticulata (mandarin red)*, Citrus aurantium amara (petitgrain)*, Litsea cubeba (litsea may chang)*, Anthemis nobilis (Roman chamomile)*, Calendula officinalis (calendula) flower oil, Limonene**, Linalool**, Geraniol**, Citral**, Farnesol** *natural pure essential oil **naturally occurring in essential oils ***certified organic ingredient
Since receiving the Radiance Oil in the January 2012 Carmine box I have been seeing Balance Me products everywhere and I am now somewhat addicted to them! If I a bit more cash to spare I would be using their products all the time.
Balance Me sell high end natural aromatherapy products which are paraben and sulphate free. The company was founded by sisters in 2005 after requests for their exfoliants by TopShop and the brand can now be found on the high street and winning various awards.
What They Say
A multi-tasking pot of super goodness with body-wide dry skin appeal that is equally effective as a hydrating face mask or to combat dry complexions, formulated with a rich blend of organic shea butter, virgin and rosehip oil and mango seed butter.
How to Use
Basically, think of this as a nicer smelling and more natural pot of vaseline. Use it in the exact same way.
I really like this. I always have a small pot of Vaseline on me at all times, in fact there must be a million little tins of the stuff around my house and in all of my many, many bags.
I wasn’t looking to replace my little blue and white tin but I must admit that I do prefer the Face Balm. It has a nicer scent and isn’t as thick and gloopy so I feel better about putting it on my face and in my hair etc.
Again, Balance Me have stuck a huge “100% natural” sticker on the front so I know I’m not putting any nasty chemicals on my skin. They do this with all their products so you know exactly how much of what you’re using is natural and how much is synthetic.
As for the product itself it truly is multi-purpose so don’t let the name fool you. I have used this for a whole host of things.
I used it firstly as a face balm; any dry spots and rough patches got coated in this before I went to bed and by the morning after they were mostly gone, any stubborn areas got a dab before I put on my make-up and the balm is nice and light so you really can’t tell that it’s there underneath your foundation.
You can apply the balm to your entire face and use it as a face mask. Keep it on all night if your skin really needs a hydrating treat; Perfect if you have sensitive skin that reacts to all the latest complexes and exfoliationg particles that other companies are pouring into their masks.
And why stick to your face? With the lovely summery weather we’ve been having we’ve all been digging out our flip flops and then realising how dry and horrible our feet have become after months of being stuck in thick socks and tights. Rub this balm into your heels and any dry patches on your feet to get them back to standard and ready for summer. Oh and don’t forget the elbows!
We had a really cold weather snap in February and I always get really chapped hands and lips. Cue Stellar Face Balm…I rubbed a small amount into my lips and into my hands to keep them soft and smooth, it also worked wonders on my cuticles which were looking a tad bedraggled I must admit. And using the balm as hand cream gave me another idea….could I use it in my hair?
I think most of you know by now that hand creams make really good hair styling products if you’re in a bit of a pinch. I always leave my hair wax at home when I’m travelling and just take a small tube of hand cream. Just take a small amount and run through the ends of your hair twisting a little to define curls and waves.
Again, this Face Balm isn’t as thick and gloopy as hand cream so it’s easier on the hair but it is thick enough to hold and define curls. I’ve even used a tiny bit on my fingers when pulling my hair back so that any little strands of fly away hair get tamed. If you dye your hair you could try replacing your Vaseline with the balm, just run a small amount on the hairline around your forehead and ears and this will stop the dye staining your skin.
This has become my new miracle product and I know that I’ll definitely be taking this away with me when I go home to France and down to London this summer. It’s at least 5 different products in one handy little pot so if you’re one of the people wincing at the £18.00 price tag just take a breath, add together the prices of your moisturiser, hand cream, cuticle cream, hair wax etc and you’ll realise that this is definitely worth the money…and think how much room you’ll be saving in your bag!


Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skincare concerns which connects people of all races and all skin types. Whether you have sun spots, Melasma, patches of uneven skin tone or darkened acne scars – these are all forms of hyperpigmentation which differ in appearance, but can be treated with a number of the same ingredients.
We’re here to explain hyperpigmentation simply, and explore an array of fantastic K-Beauty products perfect for this skin concern – have fun discovering which is best for you.
WHAT IS HYPERPIGMENTATION?
Hyperpigmentation is often defined as a harmless skin condition which typically effects the skin of the face and other parts of the body which are exposed to sunlight daily (the face, neck, and hands). Patches of skin affected by hyperpigmentation will appear darker or more reddened in colour in compassion to surrounding skin due to an increase in melanin production.
Causes of hyperpigmentation:
- excessive sun exposure
- not wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen everyday
- hormonal changes in pregnancy
- hormonal changes due to the intake of medication which control certain hormones
- facial injuries or acne which didn’t heal correctly.
Freckles, sun spots and ageing spots are usually an abnormal yet common occurrence when melanin absorbs Ultra Violent light to protect skin, but results in sporadic patches of hyperpigmentation rather than an even tan. Such physical changes aren’t necessarily life threatening, although without wearing sunscreen everyday it is important to note that the skin barrier may become weakened and sensitive. And consistent exposure to UV rays can result in severe skin conditions which don’t just heighten the prominence of hyperpigmentation, but can result in medical conditions relating to abnormal skin cell behaviours. Therefore we strongly advise that you wear daily sun protection skincare, rather than solely concentrating on incorporating brightening skincare products into your skincare routines.
THE KOREAN SKINCARE APPROACH TO HYPERPIGMENTATION
Aside from Korea being one of the largest consumers of daily sunscreens to prevent skin pigmentation issues in the first instance, the Korean beauty industry use a wide range of both natural and chemical ingredients to overcome hyperpigmentation. Whether it be a serum, ampoule, essence, sheet masks, chemical peels, etc. you’re likely to find these ingredients in K-Beauty:
- Ascorbic or L-ascorbic acid – the most popular and effective
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate – a vitamin C derivative best for sensitive skin
- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate – most hydrating and stable form of Vitamin C
- Calcium Ascorbate – often referred to as Ester C, and is effective at a neutral pH level
- Ascorbyl Palmitate – non-irritating and remains the most stable when exposed to oxygen and sunlight in comparison to other types Vitamin C
- Other forms Vitamin C (sodium ascorbate)
- Mandelic acid
- and Azelaic Acid
Korean skincare brands are currently opening up to using Retinoids in skincare for concerns relating to hyperpigmentation. It is even less typical to find the use of Hydroquinone in modern day Korean Skincare as it is a controlled prescription-only treatment listed as a skin-bleaching agent. Hydroquinone is banned in several countries and strongly discouraged by most Dermatologists and Aestheticians. There a plenty of safer alternatives to chose from in our product recommendations which we will address towards the end of this article.
A skincare routine for hyperpigmentation should also include a chemical exfoliant instead of a physical method of exfoliation. We suggest using the Iunik Lime Moisture Mild Peeling Gel to keep things simple and minimise the risk of putting additional stress on the skin barrier.
NIACINAMIDE: A STAR INGREDIENT
Niacinamide is a reoccurring inclusion in K-Beauty – even in products that aren’t necessarily aimed at mature skin types or advertised as a ‘brightening’ product. Most Korean skincare brands add at least 2% of Niacinamide into their skincare lines to act as a mild corrective for uneven skin tone which can benefit even sensitive and acne-prone skin types. 2% Niacinamide may seem like a small quantity. However, numerous experts have concluded that at least 2% worth of Niacinamide is sufficient enough to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation when used twice daily for at least 8-12 weeks.
KEEPING THINGS GENTLE
When skin conditions like hyperpigmentation are noticeable, it can result in self-confidence issues which may make us more inclined to try a ‘quick fix’ home remedy as a solution. Where some home remedies are welcomed, others are not. Home remedies that require the use of Citric Acid consequently result in sensitizing the skin barrier and severe skin dehydration. So why don’t home remedies work for hyperpigmentation? - Simply to state, hyperpigmentation is something that has to be treated little-by-little over a course of time. Yes, a homemade honey and lemon face pack will make your skin look more radiant in the short-term, but that’s only because the citric acid and sugars will more or less break down the surface layer of dead skin cells which would otherwise make skin appear dull.
It’s fair to say that high concentrations of citric acid and ascorbic acid are not suitable for frequent use to tackle hyperpigmentation; much gentler ingredients are required and more sensible to use to prevent weakening the surface layer of skin. Depending on the severity of your hyperpigmentation, and the key ingredient you use, it will take on average 3-6 months to thoroughly treat hyperpigmentation. Although as mentioned earlier, Niacinamide can start to show results 8 weeks into use.
SPOTLIGHT PRODUCTS FOR HYPERPIGMENTATION
This serum is actually one of Klairs most sold products for 2 consecutive years, for it is particularly loved by sensitive acne-prone skin types which suffer from discoloured acne scars. It contains 5% Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) and antioxidants sourced from botanical extracts such as grapefruit, broccoli and oranges all to serve as a way to brighten your complexion. It’s popularity doesn’t just stem from it’s ability to ‘reset’ skin. It’s favourable because it has soothing and hydrating Centella Asiatica and Hyaluronic Acid – these are fantastic for preventing that ‘tingling’ sensation Vitamin C would cause for sensitive skin if not included in the formula. The viscosity is not too runny and has some substance to it, but remains lightweight. It absorbs into skin within a short frame of time thanking to the Hyaluronic Acid which can penetrate multiple layers of skin with minimal pressure from your hands.
We are excited to have this toner as one of the latest additions to Kōsame! It combines all the goodness of hydrating and re-plumping Hyaluronic Acid and skin brightening Sea Buckthorn Berry/Seaberry extract (5%). Seaberry has been selected for this toner because of it’s rich Vitamin C content. Hyaluronic Acid in itself doesn’t aid in providing a solution for hyperpigmentation, although it helps the vitamin C to more effectively seep into skin to concentrate on the stubborn points of hyperpigmentation. This toner is both packed with nutrients and a blend of skin protecting herbal extracts to warn off any stimuli within our environment which have the ability to speed up unwanted signs of aging. A small amount of this toner spreads far – revitalising and rebalancing along its way. Interestingly, this toner includes Niacinamide as an extra benefit for diminishing hyperpigmentation!
If your looking for a booster product to use in between your main skin revitalising products, then look no further than this mildly acidic sheet mask from Abib. This mask has a pH level which closely matches the natural pH level of healthy skin types. It contains Yuzu/Yuja peel oil and other extracts, plus Ascorbic acid to really deliver the skin brightening properties our hyperpigmentation craves. What truly encourages the impact of this mask is the material in which it’s made from. Abib use bamboo and albumin, so that the mask can hug the contours of your face, thus ensuring that the essence soaks into skin to the best of its ability.
We adore this ampoule’s combination of Niacinamide and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid. It cannot be simply described as a brightening ampoule as it does much more than just that. Its hypoallergenic formula nourishes skin with propolis and royal jelly, whereas Panthenol locks-in moisture which is important for all types of hyperpigmentation to heal properly as new skin cells regenerate. Due to it’s nutrient-dense formula it only has to be used twice weekly as a specialist treatment.
Let’s keep the topic flowing! Feel free to leave your product recommendations for treating hyperpigmentation in the comment section beneath this article. We look forward to hearing about potential suitors for our future stocklist.

The UK hair care market has always been substantial. Marketers are finding new ways to engage customers with innovative hair care products. How will the UK hair care market develop and grow?
- In 2023, the Hair Care segment will generate £1.59 billion in revenue. The market is anticipated to expand by 0.90% yearly (CAGR 2023-2027).
- In terms of global comparison, the United States will create the largest revenue (£11.170.00m in 2023).
- In 2023, per-person revenues of £23.06 are produced based on population statistics.
- Black adult women in the UK spend 10% of all money on hair care, while they only make up 2% of the adult population.
- With a CAGR of 5.4%, the market for natural haircare products is projected to reach £10.12 billion in 2026 globally
UK haircare forecasted revenues
The UK hair care market has decreased over the past 9 years by 12.8% overall, with an increase of just 4% forecast from 2023 to 2027.
The reasons for the decline are a difficult economy, with the UK barely avoiding a recession towards the back end of 2022.
From 2014, there is a negative of 18.25% in the average revenue Brits have available for hair care products, with a marginal increase from 2023 to 2027 of just 2%.
However, it’s not all bad news as UK consumers move towards natural haircare products.
Information source Statista
Natural hair care products
At a compound annual growth rate of 8.9%, the market for natural haircare products is anticipated to increase from £7.89 billion in 2021 to £8.22 billion in 2022.

Products for Organic Hair Care
Searches for organic hair products started at 30% in march 2018 and finished at 35% in January 2023, a small increase of 16.6%.
However, there are significant spikes in searches 0f 81% in august 2019 and then 100% in March 2022, a difference of 23.5%.
Organic shampoo clearly has the most searches as shampoo is a daily requirement for most people, male and female. The searches start strong at 100% in July 2020 and then tail off in Jan 2023 to 42%, a decrease of 58%.
The organic conditioner market does not reflect the same amount of searches as the shampoo, with a decline of 9% over the same period.
Although not searched as much as shampoo and conditioner, organic hair gel has interesting activity peaks over the same period and increased by 30.3 % over the same period.
Given the economic climate in the UK, search levels could be assessed in line with market conditions.
Hairpieces and extensions 2019-2027

Google searches for hair extensions over 5 years show consistent interest, starting at 73% and finishing at 59%, a decrease of 19%. However, the trend for searches has equilibrium apart from a few spikes
A breakthrough in the manufacture of synthetic hair is anticipated to fuel market expansion. Also, during the forecast period, it is projected that the advent of techniques such as strand applications would present lucrative chances for the market’s growth.
The Afro market
Its a market that has always been on the fringes (excuse the pun) and never catered for by the big shampoo and hair care producers. Still, the afro market is significant, with some unique opportunities.
Afro market size facts and figures
- Although they make up only 2% of the adult population in the UK, black adult women spend 10% of the country’s money on hair care.

How do black women find hair products in the UK?
Black British women were more likely to learn about things through word of mouth than women from other regions.
Social media is important in discovering hair care products such as moisturising oils.
Throughout the past 45 years, hair transplantation has become increasingly common. This is primarily due to social media influences, shifting perceptions of male grooming, and, most importantly, the procedure’s overall success rate.
Searches for hair transplants have increased from February 2018 to January 2023 by 64.4%.
Cost of a typical hair transplant by UK city
|Location||Average Cost||Location||Average Cost|
Cost of hair restoration in London and Harley St.
|Location||AveragePrice / Graft||AverageCost||Avg.No. Grafts||Avg.Surgeon’s Experience|
The UIK economy is in the doldrums at the moment and forecasted growth for traditional commercial shampoos and conditioners will be limited. But there is some key highlight, such as Organic hair care products and niche markets, such as afro hair care products (Black women in Britain spend £168 million annually on hair products).
The hair transplant market is gaining trajectory with reliable techniques and celebrity ambassadors undergoing the procedures.
Search trends are positive for most products, but consuming spending has and will decrease further, according to Statista.

Cosmetics and personal care products are among the least regulated consumer products on the market today. Right now companies are allowed to use virtually any product that they want without any safety assessments before putting products on the market. Cosmetic products include makeup, shampoos, face washes, cologne, aftershave and even baby products. Of the 12,000 chemicals used in the cosmetics industry today, some 80 percent have never been assessed for safety. We simply do not know what their impact is. Mia Davis of the Beautycounter takes a candid look at cosmetic safety and what consumers need to know.

- Choose my clothes on a weekly basis. I am attempting to do this to mainstream the time it takes to get ready as well as have time to THINK about what I’m going to wear, instead of flying by the seat of my pants every morning.
- Step out of my comfort zone. I’ll be trying new looks inspired by Style Bloggers to try new outfits and styles.
- Wear straight hair more often. I have non-chemically straightened hair, but I’d like to switch it up more often by using heat to straighten it. I straightened it for the first time last month (pic in my about me section).
- Wear make up. I am usually a chap stick or lip gloss girl, but I'm thinking about adding a BB Balm, Eyeliner, Mascara, and Lip gloss to my repertoire.

Well hello there!
I’m Frances and I am a professionally trained Makeup Artist based in the South of England. I’ve worked with hundreds of brides across Hampshire, Dorset, Surrey and London, getting creative and perfecting their bespoke wedding look. I bloomin’ love my job! Being asked to be a part of someone’s wedding day is truly special – it’s a position of trust and one which I fully respect.
I’m often asked what made me want to become a makeup artist and to be involved in the industry. For me, it all really stems from my time at college gaining A Levels in Fine Art and Life Drawing – something which has been essential in perfecting life like skin colour (ideal for colour match foundation). Makeup artistry has always felt like a natural extension of this creativity in me and I often feel like making up faces is my canvas. Whilst training I was repeatedly praised by my tutors for creating a flawless base (perfect for bridal looks) which then prompted me to specialise in wedding makeup about three years ago – helped by my friends filling my diary up with their weddings! I really love where my job takes me and the people I meet along the way, making my journey even more exciting.
I’m inspired by many beautiful things: vintage elegance, classic & innovative design, Parisian & Italian beauty.

With its iconic Opera House and the Harbour Bridge arching over sparkling waters, Sydney buzzes with its diverse population’s vibrant energy, all weaving a unique aesthetic into the urban tapestry. This cosmopolitan flair is reflected in the personal style choices of its residents and visitors, who frequent the city’s fashion boutiques and beauty salons in a quest for that quintessential Sydney look. Within this context, microblading has surged in popularity, revolutionising the approach to personal grooming.
Notably, Australia boasts a diverse array of beauty salons, with New South Wales (NSW) alone home to 10,259 establishments dedicated to beauty services, a testament to the growing demand for aesthetic excellence. It’s within these very establishments that the precise art of eyebrow shaping has found its stride, marking the microblading in Sydney beauty scene.
The Rise of Tailored Eyebrow Shaping
Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all beauty routines. Personalisation is key, and precision is everything when it comes to eyebrows. The city’s elite technicians have mastered the technique of creating fullness and definition where it’s needed most. They work with the natural contours of the face, ensuring that each hair stroke complements the individual’s features, leading to a natural and flattering look.
Microblading: The Technique Behind the Transformation
Microblading is a form of semi-permanent makeup that involves using a fine blade to deposit pigment under the skin and meticulously hand-drawing each hair to mimic the natural growth of the eyebrows. The result is a waterproof and smudge-proof solution that delivers effortless beauty around the clock. An initial consultation to discuss the desired form and fullness is part of the process, followed by the application of a numbing cream for comfort, culminating in the careful creation of the brows.
A Reflection of Personal Style and Confidence
In Sydney, where the climate can range from the searing heat of summer to the unpredictability of the rainy season, having eyebrows that can withstand the elements is not just a luxury but a necessity. Microblading provides a long-lasting solution that won’t run or fade, giving individuals the freedom to enjoy the city’s beaches, parks, and outdoor festivals without the worry of constant touch-ups. This semi-permanent technique meticulously enhances one’s facial features by providing structure and symmetry to the brows, which in turn accentuates the eyes and shapes the face. It’s more than a beauty trend; it’s a reflection of personal style and self-assurance. Embracing this method means embracing a lifestyle that values meticulous aesthetics, practicality, and durability.
Catering to a Diverse Clientele
Sydney’s cosmopolitan nature means that beauty services must cater to a diverse clientele, each with unique features and preferences. Technicians in the city are skilled in creating bespoke brows for all skin tones, hair colours, and face shapes. They celebrate the diversity of the region by providing tailored services that respect individuality, ensuring that everyone can experience the transformative effects of this technique.
Maintenance and Aftercare: Ensuring Lasting Results
While microblading is low maintenance, it’s not any maintenance. After the procedure, clients are given thorough aftercare instructions to guarantee the longevity of their new brows. Typically, this includes avoiding certain skincare products, direct sun exposure and following specific cleansing and moisturising protocols. A touch-up session is usually scheduled a few weeks after the initial appointment to make necessary adjustments and ensure that the brows heal perfectly.
Microblading in Sydney is not just about keeping up with beauty trends; it’s about setting new standards and allowing individuals to express their style and confidence in a beautiful and practical way. As the city continues to embrace this transformative beauty technique, it is clear that the perfectly sculpted brows seen walking through its bustling streets are here to stay.

This last week or so has been hell on my skin.
Snow, ice cold winds, central heating, and a bloody freezing gym have all conspired to make my skin tight, dry, flaky, itchy and downright unpleasant.
Even my usual daily regime hasn’t helped. Even it’s combination of gentle cleansing, layers of moisture, and a nice slick of argan oil at bedtime. The dry patches on my cheeks started getting really sore and chapped – so bad that one point I all but had tiny holes in my face where the skin was badly damaged.
It really wasn’t pretty.
Luckily, a product review came to my aid. At the same time that I was trawling through the myriad of eczema and dry skin preparations trying to figure out what would work, a shiny blue padded envelope arrived from Cetraben.
I had signed up for a possible product review back in November, but months later, had forgotten all about it. As it was one of the brands I’d been looking at online, I wasted no time and put it to the test.
I was sent three of their products. The lotion, a light everyday version, the cream – something a bit heavier, and perhaps my favourite of everything they sent, the cleansing cream.
Each of the products contains light liquid paraffin (which helps to replace lost skin oils), white soft paraffin (to protect the surface of the skin) and glycerin (to bring moisture up from deep down in the skin). Even better, it’s not tested on animals, and contains no animal products – making it vegan friendly.
And it works.
The lotion is the lightest and thinnest of the products and, going forward will suit me most in the warmer weather. Whilst it’s moisturising, my skin was soaking it up so fast, and yet remained dry. My skin really was too far gone for something so light.
The cream is much richer, and was a life saver. My skin sucked it up greedily, and whilst it moisturised deep down, it didn’t leave my skin too greasy for make up. It was also perfect for the little patches that had appeared on my legs, and the tops of my arms. In fact had it come in a bigger pot, I’d have slathered myself in it head to foot.
But my favourite of the three was the cleanser.
I used it as a ‘hot cloth’ cleanser – applying it to lightly damp skin, and removing it with a warm muslin cloth. It coped with removing my makeup, even my Wunderbrow eyebrow gel, without a hitch. The best tip of all involved the application of it as a moisturiser straight after cleansing whilst my skin was still warm and damp.
Within a couple of days, the flakiness had cleared up, it even had, dare I say it, a little shine to it. Aside from the little remnant on my cheek (the white bit was the last bit to go) you can’t even tell that anything was wrong.
From a surprise package, to a pleasantly surprise result. Consider me completely converted for the cold weather.

The Complete Guide to Tanning: Everything You Need to Know About Tanning Beds, Sunless Tanning, and UV Tanning.
Introduction: What is a Tan?
A tan is the result of an increase in your skin’s production of melanin.
This is caused by UV light from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. A tan can make your skin look healthier and more attractive.
A tan looks darker when you first get it, but it will slowly fade away over time. This is because the melanin in your skin starts to break down after a few days and will eventually disappear completely.
What is the Difference Between Getting a Tan and Getting Sunburnt?
A sunburn is when the skin becomes red, hot, and painful to touch. A tan is when the skin becomes darker after being exposed to sunlight.
A sunburn occurs when skin cells are damaged by UV rays from the sun or tanning bed. The damage that is caused by these rays can lead to inflammation and pain. The risk of getting a sunburn increases with age and with people who have fair skin, light eye color, or a history of sunburns.
Sunburnt skin will usually be red for about 24 hours before it starts to peel off in flakes.
The difference between getting a tan and getting sunburnt is that one happens gradually while the other happens quickly.
How Long Does it Take to Get a Full, Dark Brown Skin Color?
Everyone has a different skin tone and color, but it is possible to get a dark brown skin tone if you are willing to put in the time.
Getting a full, dark brown skin tone can take anywhere from three months to two years. The process can be sped up with the use of products like hydroquinone cream or glycolic acid.
Are There Side Effects from Using a Tanning Bed or UV Bulb?
The answer to this question is not as simple as it may seem. The side effects of UV light are a little more difficult to detect than the side effects of tanning beds.
The use of tanning beds and UV bulbs can cause skin cancer, premature aging, and eye damage. There are also other risks that come with using these products such as burns, eye irritation, and skin problems. These risks depend on the frequency and length of exposure to UV light.
UV light is a form of radiation that can cause sunburns, eye damage, and skin cancer over time if you are exposed to it for too long or too often. Tanning beds emit UVA radiation which has been linked to higher rates of skin cancer than UVB radiation from natural sunlight or a tanning bed.
Conclusion: The Best Way to Prevent Sunburns and Tan Fast
The best way to prevent sunburns and tan fast is to wear sunscreen.


Another very popular aesthetic treatment, lip fillers are the best way to add extra volume and fullness to give yourself the perfect pout.
Dermal fillers are injections used to fill out creases and wrinkles in the skin to give a more youthful and smooth appearance to many areas of your face.
Whether you are looking to give your face a boost for a special event, take a few years off and return it to its former glory or just slow down the ageing process, my aesthetic treatments can give you what you desire. Having achieved a BSc (HONS) in nursing and working as a staff nurse for the NHS in A&E and theatres, I have now brought my skills to the world of beauty treatments and I’m fully trained in administering BOTOXTM, dermal fillers and lip augmentation.
I pride myself on my personal touch, professionalism and attention to detail, offering a full consultation prior to treatment and follow-up discussions to ensure you are satisfied with the results. I assess every client individually to ensure the treatments are tailored to your specific needs and my results speak for themselves.
The feedback I receive is always very positive, with many clients telling me that it was the best aesthetic experience they’ve had and the best results they’ve seen. Please take a look at my feedback and photos to see for yourself!
I am friendly and enthusiastic, reassuring and empathetic. I love what I do and nothing pleases me more than a happy client. I always go out of my way to ensure you are at ease and, through the use of numbing agents, I can ensure the procedure is practically painless.
I offer appointments at my private clinic in Lancaster but I am also available to visit you at your home or other suitable locations. Prices may vary for appointments away from my clinic but please contact me to find out if I plan to be in your area as I often schedule full day visits to towns in the surrounding area.

It can be increasingly challenging to shift stubborn fat around our waist and hips as we get older and enjoy living our lives to their fullest (Chocolate! Carbs! Children!)
We don’t need to tell you that regular exercise and a balanced diet are the key to staying fit and maintaining a healthy body weight over the long term, but should we call on technology to help augment the effects of a healthy lifestyle? At Heat Healer we firmly believe the answer is yes!
The technologies in the new Body Belt are PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field), Infrared heat (like in our OG Infrared personal sauna blankets), and Red Light Therapy (yep, like in LED face masks).
Research tells us that weight loss can be assisted by:
We recommend using the Body Belt for 20 minutes, three times a week to start seeing (and feeling) the effects. Even better, use the Body Belt post-workout to aid recovery and ease tension in those hard-working muscles.
Wait, we haven’t mentioned the third piece of the technology trifecta: Red Light Therapy! Red Light Therapy has been shown to improve the appearance of skin by stimulating collagen and increasing the growth rate of fibroblasts - so whilst it may not be playing a role breaking down fat, it can certainly help make the area you‘re targeting look smoother and more youthful - win!
The real kicker with Heat Healer’s Body Belt is the ability to use the device to target the area where you really want results - not only around your waist and abdomen, but thighs, buttocks and breasts too.
Let’s remember that we all come in different shapes and sizes so the most important thing is to feel your best and be comfortable in your own skin.


These quality products will help complement and maintain your tan:
Specially formulated salt scrub delicately balanced to provide gentle yet effective micro-exfoliation. As skin is polished smooth, Chamomile and Calendula provide calming benefits while Aloe Extract soothes. Suitable for all skin types and ideal for use prior to tanning applications.
A moisturising body lotion filled with natural extracts or almond oil, avocado oil and restorative shea butter. Recommended for daily use on dry and damaged skin.
This formula combines light reflectors to hlep skin appear caressingly smooth and even with Aloe Vera and Hazelnut Oil providing nourishing and soothing benefits. Corrects fake tan faux pas. Great for a quick fix on decolletage, legs and arms.
Whipped Dream is formulated to deeply moisturise with Olive Oil, Almond Oil, Shea Butter and Hazelnut Oil helping to maintain and enhance your enviable sun goddess tan. Apply daily.
Portable and easy to carry, the 120ml pump botte is great for full body application or a spot of topping-up. Incredible colour and even application.

My beautiful flowers have decided that spending any more than 4 days on top of my television is just not worth the effort. I don't think it's fair. I will come to terms with it, but for the record - I'm not happy about it. I wish fake flowers were as enjoyable as real flowers. Maybe the magical thing about real flowers is their fleeting time with us. Perhaps they give us just enough time to enjoy their beauty, but not so much time as to become ordinary. Hmm..

I thought I'd let you guys into one of my secrets, my favourite makeup brush! Well, it's not much of a secret, if you asked me, I'd tell you! But I thought I should mention it on this blog as it's a brush I feel would benefit a lot of people, is multifunctional, is a perfect starter brush to edge you into makeup brushes.. and is over all amazing!
So *drumroll please*, this brush is the MAC 217 Brush!
This brush is AA-MA-ZING!
It can occupy so many functions;
Eyeshadow blending brush
Adding on more pressed powder brush
Special effects brush
It is definitely worth the money! I first and foremost use it for putting eyeshadow on, if I'm rushing and just want say two colours, I'll whip a pale shade all over my lid, then the brush is the perfect shape to just add a darker shade in my crease for a touch of contrast - lovely!
If I'm doing a smokey eye and it's just too dark or the dark bits are in the wrong place, I lighten them by using this brush to apply pressed powder over the area!
I highlight cheekbones, down the nose and the brow bone with this nifty brush!
You can create a slight wash of blusher by sweeping this over the cheeks with a tiny bit of product on.
If you need to blend out harsh lines, this is perfect for the job!
Apply concealer with this bad boy!!
This brush is quite simply wonderful, it's my desert island brush for sure! What's your favourite brush?

I’ve had a few go-to beauty products this past month that I wanted to share with you and maybe it will give you an idea of whether you might want to try them yourself!
Current April Primp and Pamper Products:
- Essie is always a great go to nail polish, and when the spring rolls around every year, I’m all about bright shades to add a little pop to my nails. Vibrant and fresh, Essie in “Geranium” is one of my favorite bursts of red-orange color!
- Even though the weather’s warming, my skin is still recovering from the cold dry winter weather and I’m all about moisturizing with CeraVe Renewing SA Cream for extremely dry and rough skin.
- While I love the department store brand make up as much as the next gal, my budget sometimes takes a hit when unexpected house expenses pop up like those pesky flying squirrels! So when I’m looking for the best bang for my buck with drug store makeup, I pick up L’Oreal True Match for a smooth super blendable foundation that really does have great coverage and lives up to its name. The other summer essential that helps cut down on shine is Maybelline’s Dream Wonder Powder.
- Speaking of summer essentials, the EOS Organic Lip Balm in Sweet Mint is a must to keep your lips soft with the light freshness of mint.
- I’ve also been testing out complementary jar of InstaNatural Superior Hydration Argan Oil Hair Mask that left my hair conditioned and shiny, but light and flowy too!
- And finally the other favorite product that I’ve been using is the James Read Gradual Face Tan from BeautyKind. Not only does the face tan work gradually to give you an even healthy glow which makes me love this product, but what really tugs at my heart strings is that Beauty Kind donates 5% of each purchase to the charity of your own choice! How wonderful is that?!? Shopping for a good cause is always a good reason to go shopping! 😉
I took the liberty of jazzing up the note-card BeautyKind sent with my face tanner… I kind of like the blue!
Let me know if you have any recommendations I should check out! I always love going off of recommendations instead of buying items only based on anonymous reviews I find online… Hopefully these highlights might help you!


Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is actually a cosmetic plastic surgery technique for changing and reconstructing the nose for improving its aesthetic appearance. The procedure is also referred to as a nose job or nose cartilage cosmetic surgery. There are basically two kinds of plastic surgeries utilized in rhinoplasty, reconstructive plastic surgery, which help to restore the normal form and functions of a nose, and aesthetic surgery that alters the look of a nose. Here are some of the benefits of rhinoplasty: Learn more about rhinoplasty surgery, and top rhinoplasty surgeons at The Rhinoplasty Society and make an informed decision about nasal contouring.
Ease of healing After a rhinoplasty the patient generally needs to take one week off from work and can be required to avoid using the nose splint for at least two weeks. This is mainly because the skin in the nose takes a while to heal and therefore it is best to avoid using the splint during this period. However, if the surgery goes well and the recovery process is rapid then the splint can be used for covering the nose in order to prevent the skin rubbing against the wound while the surgery is going on. However, the use of a splint is not strictly necessary as the skin in the nose heals very quickly. If the nose surgery goes well and the recovery goes smoothly, a normal life can be resumed with a minimum disruption of normal activities.
No restrictions In rhinoplasty on a patient will not be required to wear any special glasses or any other restrictive headgear for the rest of his or her life. All in all, this procedure is considered a minor one that does not have any major restrictions. A post-operative risk is that there will be a small amount of swelling and some bruising after the surgery but these will go away on their own. A minor risk is the possibility of an allergic reaction to some of the anesthesia used in the procedure but this normally does not occur. Rhinoplasty can also be performed on adults but since it is usually performed on children it is usually carried out as an elective procedure rather than for medical necessity.
No long term effects Rhinoplasty does not have any long-term effects such as pain or discomfort. However, if the patient does experience any pain due to the incisions and the swelling and bruising then it is advised that they seek the help of their surgeon. Some patients may experience slight changes in their appearance or in the shape of their nose after the procedure but this will go away within a few weeks. If there are any long term effects from the cosmetic surgery such as infection or adverse reaction to anesthesia then the patient should report this to the cosmetic surgery clinic where the procedure was performed.
Recovery After rhinoplasty on a patient will be able to resume normal daily activities with no restrictions. It will be some time before the surgeon will be able to take the nose surgery into account when scheduling the next procedure. This procedure is usually carried out as an outpatient procedure, so the patient will be able to return home the same day as the procedure. The patient should expect to have to deal with some swelling and bruising for a few days until the stitches are removed.
Nose surgery is one of those cosmetic surgery procedures that has many benefits. However, it is also one that has certain risks and drawbacks. Many celebrities have rhinoplasty to enhance their appearance, but the long term results are less than desired. If you are considering having this procedure done then you should make sure that you understand all of its pros and cons. A well-qualified plastic surgeon will be able to advise you about the best course of treatment for your individual needs.

Sundays smelled like burnt hair because that was when you had your hair tamed. First, your aunt took your wet hair and marshalled it with crocodile-teeth hair grips. Then, she released each small section from the mouth of the crocodile and aimed the Philips blow dryer like a gun at close range.
The stretching and pulling squinted your eyes. You heard the sizzling of your singed curls. The burnt smell floated into your nose, flaring your nostrils. You sat frozen to the stool for the hour it took to wage battle with Mother Nature. After your hair was blow dried, you studied the flattened version of yourself in the oval mirror of her oak dressing table, feeling the distance widen between you and the girl in the mirror.
Your aunt patted your brown hair with the coconut oil spread like butter on her palms. ‘That’s better!’
You felt the edge of your freedom but didn’t move, suppressing the raging restlessness that flowed through you. She divided your straightened hair into two, rolled it into four balls which she fixed with triangular pins that dug into your scalp. Finally, she put a brown stocking over your head to seal in the straightness, and instructed you not to remove it. She was terrified that rain, humidity or any form of invisible moisture would undo all of her work in an instant; so precarious is the nature of blow dried hair.
‘Be careful with it or it will turn frizzy again’ she said before you broke free.
Now that you own your hair and your Sundays, you wash it and leave it to dry naturally. It grows bigger as the moisture evaporates. A tangled mass of brown curls rises to frame your face. The woman in the mirror smiles back.

The last time I did a post about hair care products was a long time back and I got a great response from my readers so I thought I would do a post about hair products again. I also wanted to do a hair post because the winter does awful things to my hair and it requires extra care and attention during the cold season; this I am sure is true for a lot of you out there?
Well one of the things that I have been meaning to get myself is a hair straitening device. Don’t get me wrong; I love my curls, but it is a great thing to straighten my hair occasionally just for a change; and it does make me look a wee bit glamorous, even if I do say so myself! So I liked this Wet to Dry Straightener which is available at a pretty good discount, at $112.50 down from $150. Then there was also this slim type heating iron (moist) for just $74.99 down from 139.99 which I thought was a great deal!
Now Monsterhair.com has a store wide discount of 10% to 33% over the weekend, and I headed to their conditioner section because my extra dry hair needs a lot of conditioning. I was happy to find that everything there was being offered at some or other discount. This Bonacure color save shampoo and conditioner duo I liked a lot since it is available for $45.99, down from the list price of $78; a whopping $32 discount!
Here I found lots of clearance and sale items, such as this Paul Mitchell 1 Gallon Hair Repair Treatment. And it is a one gallon package so I am guessing that this will last me a really long time! At the price of $73.99 (which they claim will save you about 45%!) I think is pretty good.
So I wish you healthy and beautiful hair this winter season; may you never need a hat to cover up your bad hair days!


Wrinkle is a very awful phase that usually women and men in polluted regions face. The actual reason behind the wrinkle formation at any early age is the environmental conditions. When atmosphere has extra amount of nitrogen, chemical fuel emissions and carbon traces, then skin becomes dull and it also absorbs carbon particles at a large amount because of which wrinkles form near eyes sides, near mouth fine lines and on forehead. However, in the market there are various products which exclaim to provide a valuable deal in cosmetic products known as wrinkle reducer
Well! Not every eye wrinkle treatment cream is genuinely effective because they are customized according to the early signs. The price range for eye wrinkle treatment creams is usually falls in between 500 to 1000INR. So, according to the cost, an extreme case for wrinkles may not get the desired results. If you wish to get effective results on the skin which is acutely affected by the wrinkles and appearance is deep, then you should go for the products which are above 1000 INR. Hence, the costlier wrinkle serum contains peptides, collagen gel and revitol enzymes. Vitamin E, vitamin B6 and many other natural ingredients are used for skin tightening.
Which cream is suitable for your skin type?
- Oily skin- search for the serum and gel based anti- wrinkle lotions that are non-sticky and have aloe Vera extract.
- Dry skin- jojoba oil, hibiscus plant extract or rosemary oil extract integrated creams are having a level of moisture. This oil based wrinkle prevention cream or serum is very beneficial for the dry skin.
- Combination skin- vitamin E and collagen peptides integrated cream is suitable for this type of skin as it absorbs and leaves the skin smooth and light. You can also wear make-up after applying this cream.

Having had an eclectic career and then being made redundant gave Wendy Stafford the opportunity to explore her real passion for art and start her new career in stained and fused glass.
The imagery in her work is close to nature, sometimes abstract but always colourful. Her unique style of creating large and small-scale pieces blend with the natural surrounds of garden or parkland.
The fused glass flowers can be placed in a range of indoor and outdoor settings. Wendy’s inspiration comes from her Cottage garden and the beautiful Worcestershire countryside, using the glass for colour, texture and light.
In 2018, the Cotswold Sculpture Park has the following pieces by Wendy:
Red Hot Pokers – individually crafted pieces fired to give texture as well as colour.
Pink Foxgloves – blending in with the natural elements foxgloves hand painted before firing in the kiln.
Poppies – always significant and a welcome sight when they fill the cornfields, my interpretation of these beautiful flowers stand tall and proud glowing red in the sunlight.
Delphiniums – tall blue wonders individually crafted to represent these beautiful works of nature.

(better referred to as "resin-based composites" or simply "filled resins") are types of synthetic resins which are used in dentistry as restorative material or adhesives. Synthetic resins evolved as restorative materials since they were insoluble, of good tooth-like appearance, insensitive to dehydration, easy to manipulate and reasonably inexpensive
