"Beauty MOT"

Poster: Armand 01/10/2005

Sun ravages our skin, sea salt wreaks havoc with our hair and the soaring temperature dehydrates both the face and lips. The price we pay for life on the Coast, hey? Well this month let’s take a look at some of the beauty must-haves for saving face.

Whether you’re working, partying, golfing or shopping there still doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to fit everything in, which is why skin treatments need to be fast, effective and preferably non-invasive. And this is why Lancôme have launched Resurface Peel, which contains a gentle level of glyeolic acid. It’s also infused with the first non-acidic Peel Enhancer, which boosts the peel and allows the Comforting Cream, which contains rose and sheer-butter, to sooth and condition the skin. This product has both immediate and long-term benefits when used twice a week for four weeks. You should notice a brighter, more youthful complexion with a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Another alternative for fine lines and wrinkles is Estée Lauder’s Perfectionist serum. You would use this on a daily basis with your normal skin care routine. If you have more permanent lines (for example, at the side of your nose or on your forehead) then Sisley may have the answer with Line Reducer. This new product is designed to tackle “the line” from the inside out. It contains the leaf of the Alkekangi Calyx fruit (maybe known to most as the Chinese gooseberry) and is used to reactivate the collagen production, while a specific active ingredient found in Soya extract works on the most pronounced lines. Even if you have a more delicate skin, Sisley have tested this on all skin kinds, even the most sensitive.

Aveda, the makers of plant-derived hair care and beauty products, introduce a powerful plant-based hair care system created to protect and help repair even the most stressed tresses. Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo and Restructuring Conditioner join the range’s Restructuring Treatment to create a three-step hair care system. With over 70 per cent of women claiming to have some level of damaged hair, either with environmental aggressors or straightening irons, a lot of women will benefit from this innovative new hair care system.

Keep your lips kissable with Lancôme’s Aqua Fusion for lips. This glossy balm with SPF 8 contains 16 essential elements, including calcium and zinc, to infuse your lips and keep them hydrated for eight hours. According to Lancôme, “the glossy texture combined with micro-spangles gives lips rounded dimensional shape and illuminates them”. Coupled with a slightly minty tang, this will coat your lips to give you tingling freshness.
