Essential Skincare

Welcome to our brand new blog.

The purpose of this blog is to share our amazing achievements and news with all our lovely customers.  Please feel free to add all your comments and suggestions.

Happy May everyone !

Well finally the weather has arrived and we are thinking about our summer holidays. Yet again I have been on my travels looking for products that help you look and feel better when you take your clothes off.

You may remember the extremely popular PUPA range which we sold out of within days (and continue to do so)  : the Cheekbone Enhancer, Lip Plumper, Bust Enhancer & Buttock Enhancer were knockouts, and they have now become trusted friends to all those who now use them.

Well I have some more exciting news from those same people.

Four new fabulous products which will soon become your best friends. First on my list is PUPA’s Inner Arm Shaping Cream (this does exactly what it says on the tin). It is a brand new intensive cosmetic treatment, ideal for sagging or untoned arms. It helps combat loss of tone, it firms the skin tissue and gives you a more defined shaped & firmer look. It contains the exclusive Gym2 Complex which acts like a cosmetic exercise. Skin appears immediately tightened and refined and fine lines are visibly smoothed. Now for product number 2 – PUPA’s Anti Wrinkle Volumizing Filler. This product is recommended for fine lines, expression lines, deep & established wrinkles ( ” that sounds good to me” ). It contains the wonderful Volufiline which produces an increase in the thickness beneath the wrinkle, so basically plumping & filling it. ( “I could do with this all over” ). Leading on to product number 3 –   PUPA’s Body Firming Re-shaping Cream. Well bikinis & swimsuits will be out in force soon, so this product is ideal for all women who want firmer skin and a more toned & reshaped figure ( “Hands Up For This One !” ). This product also reduces liquid retention and skin tissues are less swollen. The figure appears more defined and the contours are more toned and reshaped. Contains Active Oxygen, the R-model molecule works on the ultra firming action and Escin from horse chestnut works on draining and reshaping ( “sounds too good to be true” ), well try it for yourself !   Finally we have PUPA’s Reshaping Salt Scrub. Firstly, what a wonderful smell, and from the first application skin is smooth & silky. It eliminates peeling and irregular darkening of the skin, and combats dry & cracked skin. Natural Himalayan Pink Salt and Bladderwrack extract helps skin tissues reduce liquid retention and excess toxins.

An exciting mix of new products from those experts at PUPA, to make you feel like a new woman, and glow with confidence !!

Happy February everyone,

Did you know that skin is the biggest organ of the body?

We often take it for granted, mistreat it and then wonder why it looks dry and lifeless.

Ok, lets discuss Vitamins in the skin and how they can create the results your looking for.

Vitamin A (amazing little vitamin)

This Vitamin helps to reverse photo ageing, improves skin hydration, normalises the skin and maintains youthful, healthy skin, as it stimulates cell turnover, repairs UV damage, helps with collagen and elastin activity and allows the skin to retain moisture.Vitamin A produces more toned, glowing and younger looking skin.

Vitamin C

For the healthiest, brightest complexion, Vit C is essential, it helps reduce pigmentation, helps in the formation of collagen, lightens and brightens the skin and stimulates elastin,

Vitamin E

Heals, protects and hydrates the skin,

Beta Carotene,

This is an anti oxidant which eats up all the damage in the skin, it acts a bit like a pac man

Argireline

Another great ingredient that relaxes the muscles (great for eye/forehead lines, without the need for needles.)

Hylauronic Acid

We do make this naturally in our bodies, but as we age, production of hylauronic decreases

The advantages for applying Hylauronic Acid are that it leaves skin feeling smoother, and firmer, and skin looks noticeably younger almost from the first application, as it holds up to 1000 times its own weight in water, so it plumps the skin and reduces facial lines.

To cut a long story short, if you want fantastic results, start using Environ products, recently voted 1st out of 1000 brands watch the look and feel of your skin transform before your eyes, you wont believe the compliments

You are never too young or too old to have beautiful skin,

Go on your worth it.

AVST has been named Product of the Year at the Stylist Skincare Awards !

They have seen the difference for themselves, and not only that, their family & friends notice as well. This really is the BEST Anti Ageing Skincare Range on the market right now, without doubt.

Happy New Year to you all !

So what are your New Years resolutions for 2011?

One very important resolution should be to detox your body & skin from all those unwanted toxins. It is the surest way to restore health, energy & glowing skin. Doing a body detox is about restoring a state of health & energy to the mind and body with the use of water, exercise, dry skin brushing, vitamins and food. I’m going to give you 5 effective detox tips for your body, and to enable you to achieve healthy glowing skin. We have all overindulged over the party season, and it is now time to look after our bodies.

1 – Flush out all those toxins. Think of a stagnant pond. If we do not drink enough water our body is unable to flush out all the waste and toxins. It stops our kidneys functioning to their best ability, and the body becomes a pond of poisons swimming around, resulting in many health and skin problems. To have healthy glowing skin, you must drink at least 6 – 8 glasses of water on a daily basis. This does not include fizzy drinks, teas, coffees or even herbal teas. I mean 100% pure water. If you increase your daily amount slowly, to reach the optimal amount of 1.5-2 litres per day you will find your skin will glow and you will look refreshed and awake.

Not only that, you’ll be excreting all those horrible toxins, leaving you feeling totally energised and full of vitality.

2 – Supplements: If your aim is to be youthful and full of energy, it is essential to take supplements.  Of the 50 or so vitamins minerals and essential fats, over recent years the nutritional profile of foods has changed, and it is not always possible to obtain optimal levels of nutrition from the diet. Vegetables for example have lost on average 24% of their magnesium, 46% of their calcium, 27% of their iron and 76% of their copper. Selenium in fresh food is down by 50% (selenium is a key anti ageing mineral). The Advanced nutrition programme supplement range, available at www.essential-skincare.co.uk is designed to provide the optimal daily amount of key vitamins, minerals & other vital elements for good skin & vibrant health. Did you also know fish oils known as skin omegas, could protect women from breast cancer. Research has found, scientists claim, that those who take fish oil supplements can reduce their risk of developing tumours by up to a third. The oils have long been credited with health benefits such as boosting brainpower. A study of 35,000 women, found that those who regularly took the supplement were 30 % less likely to develop the disease. Cancer research centre in Seattle, suggest the omega 3 fatty acids could reduce the risk of developing the most common form of the illness, invasive ductal breast cancer.

3 -Sweat out those toxins, exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. Any exercise that increases your heart rate, makes you sweat and gets your blood circulation going is the key. It could be anything from dancing to gardening, cycling to power walking. This will flush out excess toxins and give you increased energy.

4 – Once a week, take time out for yourself, run yourself a nice warm bath, few drops of lavender oil, and give your facial skin a treat. Try the AVST Hydrating Exfoliant Masque. This will exfoliate the dead skin away & leave your face feeling refreshed and revitalised. Then apply Hydrating Oil Capsule to the skin, giving it that much needed TLC and preventing skin dehydration.

5 – Now you have thoroughly detoxed, don’t put all that make up on, full of chemicals ready to block all those pores again. Try Jane Iredale Mineral make up. 100% pure minerals; so good you can actually sleep in it. This make up, creates beautiful coverage without all the toxins that are found in normal make up. Have a look on the website www.essential-skincare.co.uk and start as you mean to go on.

Hope you enjoyed the tips, and here’s to a new you in 2011 !

I first heard about Environ 11 years ago, and it has totally changed my working life.

My name is Alexis and I am Director of Sales at www.essential-skincare.co.uk and have been a Beauty Therapist, Cidesco and Conferderation trained at the Ray Cochrane Beauty School  just over 20 years ago, (no I am not that old, I am 37).

I have always been passionate about skin. Before I became an Environ technician, I truly thought about giving up beauty, as I found it very hard to suggest any skin care products to any of my clients. I am the sort of person who has to truly believe in a product before I can advise or sell to someone else.

One cold day in February 11 years ago, I ventured to the Beauty Exhibition in London, and was really searching for a Fantastic brand to recommend. I walked up to the Environ stand and was immediately greeted by Louisa Webb, who is now Sales Director at Environ Uk.

Her skin blew me away, it was Flawless, Youthful, Glowing (need I go on). Suffice to say, I walked away armed with products to try myself; I wanted to prove to myself it really worked. Not only was Louisa’s skin Beautiful, I was amazed at the Make up she was wearing, it was so subtle, but she looked polished. I asked her about this and she told me it was Jane Iredale Mineral Make up and it was being displayed upstairs. Armed with all my bags, I trudged upstairs, and there it was, “The Stand”, full of beautiful eye shadows, fab shades of Lipsticks, Lipgloss, Blushers and the Amazing pressed powders, but best of all, it was Natural, Paraben Free, No Dyes and Edible (yes you heard right), No Chemicals. Again I bought some for myself and at this point, I could not wait to get home and try all my goodies.

I started using Environ and did not tell any of my clients. After 1 week, I could already see a difference, 1 month on all my clients were asking what I was using and said whatever it was they wanted it too, and this is how it started. Now I have 100% of my clients using it, and I feel sorry for people who do not know about it. Since then I have never looked back. It really has changed my life and given me the passion back for my job.

Jane Iredale, well it is amazing, it makes your skin look like you have just stepped off the catwalk, but don’t believe me, try it for yourself (get it on that xmas list).

Happy Holidays to all and a very Happy New year

Alexis

Here are real life client testimonials from a comments book I have in my salon. Don’t just take my word for it, see what they really say Environ does for them !

The weather in the UK has been Sunny,Gale Force Winds and utter Downpours,so if you are one of the lucky few of us who are sunning themselves somewhere hot,or enjoying the après ski,here are some great tips for keeping your skin nourished and hydrated.

Make sure you drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration,infact if you are feeling thirsty,your organs are screaming out for water.Increase your usual daily amount by 1 glass for 3 days, and keep increasing every 3 days, until you reach the recommended 2 litres per day.Take it from me a water convert,it actually makes you feel so much better, not only does your skin glow and look brighter and feel fab,your brain also becomes more alert,you feel less lethargic and full of energy.Go on be a devil and give it a go!

Use a booster that contains hylauronic acid ( a naturally occurring substance in your skin) this will visibly reduce fine lines making your skin more noticeably hydrated and plumped up,instantly firmer,younger looking skin……yes please I hear you cry.

look after those little hands of yours,after all they do get a rough ride,nourish your cuticles and backs of your hands with creams containing all those little beauties(Almond Oil,VItamin E and JOjoba),within no time your hands and nails will be in tip top condition and ready for the party season,and all those new nail varnishes.

Treat yourself to a night in ,hot bath,candles and essential oils and
don’t forget about that mask you promised yourself try the new avst exfoliating and hydrating mask packed full of vitamins A,C and ,E,infact the bath will help open the pores and allow the mask to penetrate deeper into the skin.

Last but not least SUNSCREEN!…the UVA rays are still out there,lurking under those clouds,so keep protecting your skin with an antioxidant sunscreen,try Environ rad SPF 15 and don’t forget those poor little hands,after all we don’t want photo ageing and age spots!
Remember to hydrate inside and out,eat healthily,take time out,get your beauty sleep and get active.
NOT A LOT TO ASK !
Speak to you next month
