Natures Inspiration introduces its Rose Cleanser to nourish your skin

| January 4, 2012

Natures Inspiration’s ingredients are kept to a minimum – so great for those with sensitive skin, or those just seeking a pure and uncomplicated range. The cost of the range is excellent too, very affordable.

The scent of the cleanser is truly amazing, and what you might expect from a product containing Rose Damascena. The cleanser has a lovely light creamy texture, and is gentle on the skin.

Customer Comments

I felt an amazing tingle that comes from cleansers that work deep down into the pores of the skin, and I felt no dryness whatsoever following useage, nor any sensitivity. I did not have to use tiny amounts for fear of reactions due to having tiny patches of sensitive skin. Sarah (9th November 2011)

I really love Natures Inspiration products. My skin is really sensitive and I can use the products without any problems, in fact my skin feels great after using them. The rose cleanser is wonderful, it really cleans my skin with out drying it out, and it smells fabuluous. Fionna Martin (2nd August 2011)

CANNELLE SEES FACIAL TRENDS CHANGE

| November 8, 2011

Cannelle beauty salons have observed a 25% increase in facials in the last five years and are noticing a change in their demographic of clients seeking facials including an increase in 16-25 year olds and in men who are increasingly opting for facials rather than just massages and hair removal with a rise of 40% in five years.

A recent Cannelle survey showed that half of the respondents started facial treatments between the ages of 16-25 and 21% started from 25-30. More surprisingly 14% started having facials under the age of 16 whilst approximately 10% started from 35-45 years old. Cannelle is also benefitting from offering a full range of facials as clients become more savvy about what is on offer in the beauty marketplace.

Managing Director France Baudet says: Teenagers may come to the salons for facials to improve spot problems, some come for stressed skin. Most of our other young clients in their twenties come monthly for regular facials because they can see and feel it makes a difference to their skin and because it is so relaxing and forces them to take time out of their busy schedules. Other clients are really benefiting from anti-ageing facials such as IPL and CACI. Some men do want facial treatments to target specific issues like signs of ageing or stressed skin, but a large percentage come for monthly facials simply because they enjoy the relaxation time and want to take care and nourish their skin. There is a total mix.

Cannelles research showed that a third of salon goers would describe their face as their favourite body part, so it is no surprise that we find it increasingly important to pamper our best asset. 46% of Cannelles discerning clients enjoying facials choose CACI facials, 7% currently opt for IPL skin rejuvenation and 47% ask for Dcleor facials. Baudet stresses the importance of the right facial for the individual client. Our clients know exactly what is on offer in the beauty world these days and really do know how to look after themselves whether it be having regular beauty treatments in one of our salons or cleansing at the end of a busy day at home.

Our clients know that CACI facials are loved by A-list celebrities and are an effective treatment which redefines facial contours, plumps out deep lines and wrinkles as well as tackles a range of skin imperfections. IPL improves the appearance of rosacea, flushing, broken capillaries, sun damaged skin, age spots and skin texture, as well as mild acne scars, tightens pores, softens fine lines and improve your skin’s complexion. Photo-rejuvenation is particularly effective in enhancing the areas often exposed such as face, neck, chest and hands.

For those wanting that traditional relaxing facial experience, Dcleor facials offer a soothing and moisturizing experience which afterwards leaves the skin feeling renewed and fresh. All Declor facials are specifically tailored to suit your skin type using 100% pure essential oils with natural plant extracts.

Ahava re-launches its core product lines

| September 9, 2011

The result of a three year R&D project to refine and upgrade Ahavas Dead Sea mineral formulations, Ahava has completely overhauled and re-launched its core product lines, with a new-look, nature-inspired packaging and a fresh focus to ensure better consumer understanding of when and where to use Ahavas extensive range of face and body care products. The re-branded range reflects a more natural, skin-friendly approach.

Entitled My Skin Reborn, Ahavas new customer-focussed approach includes the creation of more straightforward naming architecture to ensure the companys skin care system is more accessible and easy-to-understand by consumers. Particular emphasis is placed on increasing awareness for Ahavas extensive face care product range and making more women aware that Dead Sea ingredients, as formulated by Ahava, are ideal for daily care of facial skin.

To this end, Ahavas Source, Dermud, Time Line and Pure ranges are now rationalised and combined into four face care categories Time To Clear, Time To Hydrate, Time To Smooth and Time To Revitalise. Body care products from each of these core lines are now available in four body care categories, Dead Sea Water, Dead Sea Mud, Dead Sea Salts & Dead Sea Plants, with Ahavas Mineral Botanic, Mineral Makeupcare, Mineral Suncare and Ahava For Men lines remaining as stand alone ranges.

New packaging designs reflect the quality and essence of Ahava and a balance between scientific research and natural wonder, efficacy and pleasure. The distinctive new look clearly separates the facial and body products, whilst maintaining clear range coherence for greater visual impact in salons and on the shelves. All Ahavas rebranded products keep their unique Mineral Skin Osmoter formulation, a perfectly-combined extract of Dead Sea minerals that effectively replenishes the skin and recharges its natural functions, but key products are now reformulated in order to provide improved performance and better sensorial qualities. Additionally, Ahava has taken the opportunity to ensure that all rebranded products are now free of parabens, SLS/SLES, petroleum, harsh synthetic ingredients and GMOs, are allergy tested and approved for use on sensitive skin.

Pat Strutt, Managing Director of Ahava UK Limited comments, The rejuvenating, therapeutic properties of Dead Sea minerals and their benefits to both the health and beauty of the skin, remains at the heart of all Ahava face and body care products. However, re-branding the core Ahava lines enables the Ahava brand to move forward, shift the emphasis to the user and, in so doing, make the Dead Sea experience, and the many benefits associated with Dead Sea minerals, more accessible to those seeking an effective skin care approach based on proven natural ingredients.

Pat continues, By shifting the focus and positioning the rebranded range as My Skin Reborn, it is Ahavas aim to enter into more direct dialogue with consumers and focus on the feeling that everyone experiences when using Ahavas Dead Sea Mineral formulations; namely, a feeling of skin being reborn.

Probiotics cleanse deep into pores whilst retaining the skin’s natural balance

| March 31, 2011

Women nationwide seek new, chemical free ways to maintain healthy skin and avoid the wrath of ageing. Using the concept of bugs to boost complexion, Probiotic skincare balances the levels of microflora in the skin to keep it hydrated and nourished, as well as fight off bad bacteria to prevent irritations like acne and eczema.

Researching and then exclusively formulating a new Probiotic skincare range, Club Cleo is a huge advocate of the benefits friendly bacteria can bring. Cleansing deep into pores whilst retaining the skins natural balance, preventing moisture loss and oil build up, Probiotic skincare is a new trend thats only going to continue on its upward spiral.

Introducing its Deep Cleansing Moisture Mousse, Skin Sheer and Radiance Polish and EGF Regenerate Nourishing Crme, Club Cleos Probiotic range contains a base of pearl extract and aloe. Along with a multitude of exotic nutrient rich active plant extracts, the Moisture Mousse has a hint of green tea and liquorice, the Radiance Polish a touch of papaya and chamomile, and the Nourishing Crme a dusting of jojoba and applephenon.

The organic based range is hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin types, and Club Cleo recommends its Probiotic skincare formulas to women who want to age well and maintain their skins elasticity and luminous complexion without the sometimes-harsh consequences of using chemical based products. The Cleo Q Skin Sheer and Radiance Polish is a favourite amongst many; a new and wonderfully light way to exfoliate, unclog pores and brighten the complexion, it gently sheds dead skin cells, stabilising the skins surface without abrasion.

Janine Kay, Managing Director of Club Cleo, said: Probiotics is an area weve been researching for several years, and we were one of the first to introduce it to the UK market in 2008. There was a recent prediction that it would be the next big breakthrough in natural skincare, but there remains some scepticism around the idea. Our Probiotic skincare range is our most effective yet as it has multiple benefits and works alongside the bacteria already living in your skin. Ive been using the range everyday for the last 2 years and my skin has never looked or felt healthier.

Club Cleos Deep Cleansing Moisture Mousse and Skin Sheer and Radiance Polish are rich in natural nutrients including amino acids, peptides, probiotics and lactic acids. The unique mineral and herbal formulas promote biosynthesis of collagens, fibronectin and keratin, increasing the skins oxygen absorption to encourage healthy cell renewal. The EGF Regenerate Nourishing Crme includes platinum extract to continuously metabolise and prevent oxidisation. It accelerates regeneration of skin cells, enhancing moisture and oxygen retention, recovering elasticity and smoothing wrinkles.

Club Cleo also stocks a wide selection of natural health and beauty products including pamper packs, an intimate care range, perfumes, and health and beauty accessories. There is no animal testing in any of Club Cleos products.
