Hyalual® … Could This Be The Breakthrough In Anti-aging Therapy?

Posted on by

Skincare is my thing.

Forever on the lookout for the best beauty products, they must be effective, easy to use, smell good, give me a glowing complexion and an English Rose peachiness. It’s not too much to ask…

But it’s a skincare minefield out there. Which brand do you choose?

Spoilt for choice, it’s a wonder we ever manage to buy any at all!

I’ve been desperate to try the flagship skincare range from HyaLual® since rumours of its existence began to circulate, and during my recent trip to London Fashion Week, have been extravagantly spritzing myself with the products courtesy of my lovely friend, celebrity hairdresser, Steven Smith, an ambassador of the products.

It became apparent that the consistency of the products had a soothing, healing and moisturising effect on my skin with an uplifting quality that improved my mood, making it a welcome addition to the weekend’s beauty routine.

Since our lives are more hectic than ever and time is increasingly precious, urban life stresses our skin – the delicate barrier, and if you want to influence its internal structure and improve the outward appearance, you have to nourish it.

 I fell in love with the pinnacle of the HyaLual® brand, the Daily DeLux…

Most of us tend to be guilty of taking the easy option when it comes to looking after our skin – we want a one-stop product that works for the day and night.  By day, our skin is bombarded by the environment, attacked by sunlight, pollution and central heating, so we need a product that will protect and hydrate it, providing a barrier that will lock in moisture – but night-time is when our complexion gets to work repairing itself, we need a product that will give our skin the best chance to restore itself.

Organic September – Rainbow Salad & Fries

Posted on by

You all know by now I love to get creative in the kitchen. And as part of organic September I was invited to create a few recipes using a range of organic produce. So I decided to base my first recipe around a savoury dish and get really stuck in with a good healthy recipe.

So after a little bit of googling I couldn’t find a dish that would do the range justice. Back to the drawing board. With many people being gluten or wheat intolerant these dishes should make a lot of you very happy indeed. Most chips and some salads have a vast amount of hidden nasties in them. The coatings on fries and even some salads will have wheat in the sauces. So with this in mind I decided to rustle up some sweet potato fries with a nifty crisp, crunchy and delicious coating and a bright rainbow salad.

My original creations went down so well last weekend when we had friends stating over. They all ran out and picked up a few packets of the oatcakes themselves. If you want to create this amazing, heathy and sumptuous salads then here is what you will need.

Organic September – Rainbow Salad Ingredients

  • Organic spinach
  • Organic carrots
  • Red & yellow peppers
  • Clearspring toasted almonds
  • Edamame beans
  • 1 can of Chic peas
  • Fresh limes
  • Nairns flax seed, chai & sunflower oatcakes
  • Organic sweet potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Soya sauce

Method

  1. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into similar size chips and add a good amount of fresh ground pepper and pinch of salt.
  2. Pour over the olive oil and then crush the oat cakes.
  3. Coat the fries in the crumbs. Makes sure they are all well coated in the oil.

  4. Pop into the oven for 30 mins. Check half way through and shake them up so they get nice and crispy.
  5. Pile a large serving plate with the fresh organic spinach and then decorate it with a rainbow of colour.
  6. Chop up all the fresh salad. Slice the carrots with the grater and thinly chop the rest of the ingredients.
  7. Add the chick peas & beens.

  8. Sprinkle with lime juice and almonds
  9. Add a dash of soya sauce if needed
  10. Now pour a nice glass of organic fizz, sit back and let the mouthwatering munching begin. Make sure you make enough to go round as your guests will most certainly go back for seconds.

 

Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Review

Posted on by

I have used the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa for the last 4 weeks and it has really changed my skin for the better. At the cost of 2 professional salon visits it’s well worth the hype. I now can see amazing results in the comfort of my own bathroom. It’s lifted my jaw line. My cheeks, around my mouth and eyes have really been smoothed out. Also my pores actually look like I have spent a fortune on weekly treatments. The fine lines are around my eyes have all but vanished. it looks like I have expensive spa visits. It’s a little like ironing out the skin. The more you use this device the better the results. What’s great about this is that I found it actually works much like a professional Galvanic machine. These work by sending a current through the skin and enable products to be penetrated deeper into the underlying cells. And also to cleanse the skin to allow the new podcast to be introduced. It will create a slight metallic taste, this is completely normal and professional services do just the same.

Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Review
I use the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa (incredible little gadget) around 3 times a week for 5 minutes a time for each gel stage that comes with the kit. I just pop it into my regular nighttime routine and I’m sorted.

Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Routine

  1. I take off my makeup with an oil based lotion. This will get rid of stubborn eye makeup and daily build up of London life.
  2. I then cleanse with my skin with Caudilie facial foam. I will do a full review of this very soon!
  3. I then chop off the end of the pre gel treatment and apply 1/2 of the tube all over my face.
  4. Then I damp my hand under the tap and place my fingers on the metal pad at the back.
  5. Turn on the machine to No1 and start to gently use upward motions, a bit like a facial massage. You will hear the machine beep and this tells you its working.
  6. I do this for about 2 1/2 minutes then move onto the other side. This stage is the deep cleansing stage where its having a souphficaton effect. This means its turning the grease and grime into a soap like substance that can be washed off.
  7. Then it time for the treatment mode No2. Cut open the treatment tube and add 1/2 to the entire face and just repeat the movements from before.
  8. If I am doing my weekly mask I would apply this now for about 10- 20 mins while relaxing in the bath.
  9. I then lightly remove any excess and apply a pea sized amount of Nu Skin night cream.
  10. I always follow this with my Hydropeptide eye cream! Check out my article here on some other incredible products.

Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Review

 

When I used the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa for the first time I decided to do just one side of my face! It’s truly amazing and I suggest if you purchase this bathroom anti ageing buddy that you do the same!! I get told all the time that I have amazing skin and regularly get asked for ID! I think this really has helped loads over the last few weeks as my skin hasn’t looked this great in months.

Once the skin has gone too far with the ageing process we can only maintain what we have. Their is no miracle cure and its all down to upkeep. You need to know that the effectiveness of expensive salon facial electrical treatments are not miracle workers but they will assist to help keep the skin in good condition. But also you need to have regular treatments going forward or the effects will be lost and your money just wasted. I have had this little device for over 6 months and annoyed I didn’t start using it sooner. I am now converted and happy to have this little baby sitting on its stand taking pride and place on my vanity unit!

Macadamia Professional Launch

Posted on by

I attended the launch of a very exciting hair range recently. Macadamia are known for their hair oils and now they have created a fantastic new collection of professional products for salons and home use. I was mesmerised at the performance of the entire range.

They are for sale on their website so don’t worry if your salon isn’t stocking just yet, and if you are a salon wanting these just hit THIS LINK and you can introduce the entire range for your customers to go crazy over. It won’t be long before this range pops up in salon near you as this range is quite frankly superb. I have had a drastic cut recently and these are helping restore my hairs lustre, bounce and body. One of the main reasons I cut it off was it had become dry from using hotel shampoos and conditioners while traveling recently. Most inferoiur products contain Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES for short) and these strip the hair of vital goodness and essential oils. It’s not widely know that this nasty chemical can cause eye or skin irritations. The worst thing about SLES is that its used in experiments done on animals and humans. So if your Vegan you need to check those bottles guys. SLES can also cause irritation after extended exposure with some people. I can see you all dashing off to check bathroom cabinets very soon. You will be amazed at how many of your favourite products contain this substance.

Macadamia Professional Launch Macadamia Professional Launch Macadamia Professional Launch Macadamia Professional Launch Macadamia Professional Launch Macadamia Professional Launch Macadamia Professional Launch-15 Macadamia Professional Launch Macadamia Professional Launch-17

So knowing all of this you would think that I would be more aware of hair heath…NO! I threw caution to the wind and also had a little fling with mega blonde hair. The combination left my once beautiful mane a tad dry and frizzy. Then macadamia pro came into my life! It’s a game changer that’s for sure! Along with being kind to your hair  and free from SLES the new Macadamia range is cruelty and gluten free. Yes you read that right, it doesn’t contain any wheat based or gluten products. With allergies being on the increase its so important to remember that your skin absorbs countless substances throughout the day. The skin is the largest organ we have so it makes sense to protect ourselves from over exposure to unnecessary products. I’m a coeliac suffer and this was music to my ears. Who would have thought a brand could be so forward thinking! Myself and my new cropped hair are extremely happy to say the least.

Take yourself over to their website here to see the entire range! I will be doing individual reviews on all their products over the next few weeks. Make sure you pop back and check them out.

So with that I will cut this short!!! And say bye until next time!

Come and say hi over at twitter too! @Sarahbacchus or check out my blog SLBstyle.com for more fashion, food and fun.

Dr Darren McKeown skincare has unveiled a new product offering in the form of

Stop and Wow The Instant Skin Perfector.

Developed by Dr Darren McKeown, a leading practitioner in the field of facial aesthetics, the product offers a cross between traditional skincare cream and a powerful cosmetic treatment.

Stop and Wow The Instant Skin Perfector contains a spherical micro particle designed to fit into irregularities in the skin’s surface providing a blurring effect to minor imperfections, open pores and wrinkles.

Stop and Wow The Instant Skin Perfector launches in the UK this September, exclusively available on QVC.co.uk beauty priced at £30 (30 ml).

Even before he graduated, Dr McKeown became fascinated with the field of minimally invasive aesthetic medicine. He spent a summer term with a plastic surgeon in Beverley Hills learning about epicanthoplasty, just at the time a little-known drug – Botox – was starting to make a big impact. The results he saw made a lasting impression.

After graduating from the University of Glasgow he spent five years with the NHS, becoming a member of the Royal College of Surgeons and undertaking three years of specialist training in plastic surgery. At the same time, still inspired by the work he saw in California, Dr Darren McKeown set to work privately developing his own practice, the Aesthetic Medicine Institute.

Here, he experimented with traditional techniques using Botox and fillers, perfecting the natural results that have become a trademark. With his reputation growing, he decided to devote his time exclusively to minimally invasive cosmetic medicine and focus on achieving the best possible results for his customers.

Today Dr McKeown divides his time between his practices in London and Glasgow. His papers have been published in several prestigious medical journals and he is recognised by the media as an official voice in his specialist field.
