Very effective for the treatment of: · sun damage · fine lines · age spots · large pores · acne scars · superficial blemishes By Janine Falcon It's time to shake off your relaxed, summer look in favour of a more sophisticated, polished beauty. Happily, these five steps are relatively quick and deliver impact. 1) Put the rich gleam back in your hair with non-permanent hair colour. The ammonia-free formula takes just 15 minutes to deposit natural-looking colour on the hair to boost shine and hue. 2) You're not the only one who let up on her browkeep while hanging at the cottage with your family. Go for a pro-shaping job to get you started again. 3) Prep skin for cooler temperatures with a step-up in moisture, but don't ditch the SPF just because summer is ending. Tip: apply moisturizer, to damp skin, not dry. 4) Try mineral makeup for a natural-looking, glow-y finish. 5) Well groomed hands and nails are essential. Keep nails trim and cuticles well moisturized. Again, applying lotion to damp skin is the most effective way to hydrate skin and cuticles. invite you to experience a FREE Microdermabrasion Treatment (Phase One - Light Exfoliation) OR Save 50% on a full 3-Phase* Microdermabrasion Treatment!
