Recently, Nimue skincare held a masterclass on menopause and the effect that it has on the body and skin. The ladies in the pharmacy and I were really interested, so we thought we'd share some of our new knowledge with you.Estrogen is protective on the skin and maintains hydration, blood flow and epidermal thickness; increases collagen production and regulates skin pigmentation and hair growth. As levels drop during menopause, we can start to see fine lines develop, hyperpigmentation, changes to the thickness of the skin and loss of elasticity. When changes to the skin occur, your skin prescription may also need to alter. Actives used in your Nimue skincare can help to support the microbiome, increase oils for dryness, inhibit pigments and stimulate collagen production. Take home products that...
When you choose Ahuriri Beauty Therapy for your manicure, you will be treated to a nail tidy, shape and cuticle work before finishing off with your choice of nail colour from the OPI range. We recommend the lasting gel nail colour for a finish that resists dullness and chipping, staying flawless and glossy for up to 3 weeks. For a superior finish on damaged nails or those with imperfections, we've added another option to our menu. Structure gel can be applied as a base coat, being a thicker consistency, it reinforces the nail and adds strength to correct ridges and imperfections and gives an even finish. Structure gel can be added to your next gel manicure for only $10.00 or can be booked on its own to hold a broken...
Do you ever find that you apply your quality makeup but you just aren't happy with the result? How well the product applies often shows the how healthy the skin is looking underneath. We've put together 3 hacks for getting the most from your cosmetics. Makeup tends to stick to dry patches and sit on top of peach fuzz giving it a ‘cakey’ look. Try a dermaplaning facial to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz, leaving you with the perfect smooth base. Use a hydrating moisturiser or primer underneath foundation to give the skin a youthful glow. Exfoliate your lips with a sugar scrub and then apply a lip balm to the lips. By the time you put lipstick on, your...
We all have our favourites, but some products we simply can't live without. Today, I'm opening my cosmetic bag for a sneak peek at my top 5. 1. OPI Nail & Cuticle oil - I love how this strengthens my nails and hydrates the skin around to avoid getting those annoying hangnails. Smells good too. 2. Bondi Sands 1 Hour Express Aerated Self Tanning Foam - just right for the at home tan. I love the colour this product leaves. I sleep in mine overnight giving a deep tan. 3. Curtis Collection Brow Tint - This product is like a mascara but for your brows. I like to use mine in between my brow tint appointments when my brows need extra colour. 4. Curtis...
With so many products on the market and even more ingredients, choosing skin care can become confusing. Today, we are taking a step back and going back to basics. Our skin is made of three layers, the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis and is there to protect us from infection and the environment and to shape the body. We see the surface layer of the epidermis, called the stratum corneum, which is made up of microbiome, the acid mantle, lipids and dead skin cells. It is our barrier to keep the natural moisture in the skin and the environment out. Daily skin care nourishes this skin barrier to keep our defences maintained. We can look after our skin by eating well and drinking...
