my review of the new oabgi polish + mask

As a skincare obsessive I was so excited to get my hands on this new Obagi mask and couldn't wait to try it out for the first time.

It did not disappoint and is an utter delight to use. The first thing you notice on opening it up is the lovely colour and smell - both resembling the most delicious orange sherbet!

The Polish + Mask is really easy to use. You smooth a thin layer over damp skin and just sit back and relax for around 10 minutes. For me it was quite a tingle on my skin - that's the active ingredient, powerful 30% L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) getting to work. Personally, I like skincare products that feel like they're actually doing something!

Vitamin C is an important ingredient for skin health and should play a part in any skincare regime. The L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) used in the Obagi range is vastly superior to others on the market - it is a much higher strenght and is in highly bioavailable form, meaning your skin will readily absorb it and reap the benefits. Vitamin C is highly anti-inflammatory (helping to reduce redness, irritation and blemishes), has brightening and smoothing effects, and is a superb anti-ageing ingredient.

7 Tips to help botox last longer

10/1/2019

This month we thought we’d share our top tips which might help you get the most from your toxin treatment.*

1) keep it regular

As far as your time and budget allow, we recommend maintaining the results of your previous procedure, rather than letting the effects fully wear off in between. This is one way to help achieve better results for longer.

For patients who are new to Botox® (which is one brand of toxin, we use Azzalure in our Oxfordshire and Warwickshire clinics) many report that the effects improve and last longer after the first couple of treatments or so, since your muscles effectively ‘learn’ what to do to respond to the toxin.

If too much time passes in between toxin treatment and the effects fully disappear, then your medical practitioner is effectively starting from scratch again each time they see you, which can make it harder to achieve the desired results.

Profhilo Review in The Sunday Times

Why Profhilo is Marian Keyes' "new skincare obsession"

In case you missed it, we wanted to share The Sunday Times Beauty guest columnist, author and beauty buff, Marian Keyes' glowing review of the Profhilo 'five-point facial" yesterday. The full article is available to read here (paywall).

Keyes describes her experience and how she felt during the procedure and the after effects. We and our clients have long been big fans of Profhilo, offering the five-point procedure in our Oxfordshire and Warwickshire clinics for some years now, so it's great to see it getting the media attention it deserves.

Keyes explains that you need two treatment sessions before seeing the full results, however she reports following the first session: "The literature warned against expecting results until I’d had the second injections, but within days — mind! Blown! My skin looked radiant, even-textured, fresh, plumped — all the good things! I appeared healthy, rested, happy, as if I’d been on an extended holiday, breathing clean mountain air and drinking full-fat milk." It appears Keyes has joined us as fully paid up members of the Profhilo fan club, as she ends the article, "And now, of course, I want to get it done again and again, for ever, until the day I die."
