French beauty salons Cannelle have noticed a rise in the number of their clients who come in for longer lasting treatments such as BioSculpture gel nails, semi-permanent make up and IPL hair removal before business travel ensuring preparation for all eventualities, whilst also minimising both packing and time wastage upon arrival.

Whether travelling by plane, car or train for business trips, looking good doesnt have to be wishful thinking. We are all familiar with the stress caused by travel and the usual problems such as jet lag, an uncomfortable journey and the tendency to forget at least one thing, but business travellers also have an additional pressure to look professional and ready to work shortly after arrival.

Cannelles Managing Director, France Baudet says: With less time but a need to look professionally immaculate, women business travellers in particular are searching for longer term beauty fixes. A little time investment before you leave can go a long way with first impressions vital in business. Im often asked what people should take with them for minimum stress, but much groundwork should really be done before take-off.

Baudet continues: In addition pack carefully and think about how to adapt your regular beauty routine for travel to make everything effortless. If you travel a lot, have a ready to go beauty bag set aside for business travel. Stay refreshed and glowing by simplifying your routine but do prioritize your key must-have products. Consider climate, be careful with packaging in hand luggage, prioritise moisturising and use travel to try new products in travel size.

Frances top tips for more beautiful business travel are:

1. Save yourself effort by getting your eyelashes semi-permanently dyed when youre away on business. It wont smudge like mascara, which is particularly useful for long flights if you need to meet people as you arrive.

2. In order to have beautiful, professional hands throughout your business trip – I would suggest the three week manicure which is sweeping the UK from the U.S. Chip resistant, perfectly polished nails for up to three weeks whats not to love?

3. If you are away somewhere hot, splash the cash on some decent sun cream. You need to protect your skin but avoid that greasy look budget sun creams can lead to if youre representing your business.

4. Brushing loose shimmer powder across your legs if youre wearing a skirt can really brighten up dull, tired skin which is great when youre jetlagged from your journey but need to make a good first impression.

5. Signs of tiredness are especially visible on pale skin tones. Get a gorgeous glow with Dcleor cream tan.

6. Be prepared and always carry a small touch up kit around with you. Quickly reapplying lipstick can instantly lift your look in no time and carrying some face wipes around means you can conveniently freshen up at any opportunity.

7. Think outside the bottle and replace as many products with spill-proof, mess-proof and more airport friendly equivalents. It will minimise faff time and protect your possessions from being damaged by leakages.

8. Take the time to pack to ensure you dont forget any essentials. All too often we fall into the trap of last minute packing, which almost invariably leads us to leave things at home! Have a list of necessities saved on your computer which you can refer to each time youre packing for a trip.

9. Minimise messy hair by tying a scarf around it for long haul flights. You should also make sure you take a good hairbrush in hand luggage, and pack some dry shampoo with you for emergencies!

10. Make sure you keep drinking lots of water and eating the right things. Business travel can be draining, and fruit and vegetables are important to keep energy levels high!

Pretty Not Plastered, by Emily Rose

Author Emily says: “I have written this book to teach you the art of applying perfect make-up, and to help you create the right look for you, your skin and most importantly your age. This is one of the best times of your life. You can play with your looks, wear the brightest, boldest colours, and get away with it. So enjoy!”

It is a hard world for young girls to become women in.
Surrounded by pictures of models and actresses with flawless skin, it is no wonder so many teenagers feel naked if they leave the house without a mask of heavily applied foundation.

An education in the realities of air-brushing as well as in the art of make-up application could take the pressure off girls and allow them to accentuate the freshness of their young skin while still making the most of all the fun, bright products on the market.

In her debut book, professional make-up artist, Emily Rose, aims to show all women, but particularly those trying it for the first time, the basics of makeup application and how to choose the products that will enhance rather than smother their natural qualities.

A young woman herself at only 24, Emily is keen to shatter the illusions of flawless skin created by clever digital technology in magazines and demonstrate through the full colour step by step photographs how a young woman can create an unblemished look that is suited to their age.

This book will show you how to:

* Look after your skin so that it looks healthy and beautiful.

* Apply your foundation perfectly to contour your face.

* Emphasise your eyes for a natural or a smokey evening look.

* Choose your lip colour and apply your lipstick.

* Match your make-up to your prom dress or party clothes.

* Make-up tips and must-haves for your handbag.

Young girls are not only keener than ever to learn the secrets to looking naturally gorgeous but to actually understanding good skin care. Over the last three years Cannelle reports they have seen a 54% increase in the number of teenagers visiting their salons with the majority opting for manicures, waxing and eyebrow shaping treatments.

Cannelle offers a wide range of suitable treatments including Dcleor facials for spot prone skin which use 100% pure essential oils with natural plant extracts. For teenagers Aroma Purify is great for oily skin or Aroma Radiance for duller skin.

“Recent years have seen an overwhelming pressure for young girls to ply on heavy amounts of make-up but now we are seeing more girls who are being brought to the salon by their mother’s to learn how to look after their skin and to learn how to put on make-up for a natural look. We also find this generation is far more savvy about sun exposure,” says France Baudet the owner of the renowned French beauty salon.

France continues: “The teenagers who come to our salon are made to feel as comfortable as possible and learn a lot from our experienced beauty therapists. With exam time and then end of year balls coming up we are expecting to see even more girls coming in for a treat, to reduce the effects that stress has had on their skin and to relax.”

Cannelle delivers a fusion of beauty treatments all of which are tailored to meet their clients’ special requirements. Baudet has divulged some top beauty tips for teenagers.

CANNELLE TEENAGE BEAUTY TIPS

1. Cleanse, tone AND MOISTURISE! – Even if you have oily skin! Many girls avoid moisturisers because they believe they contain oils which promote spots. In fact if you choose a moisturiser that contains ‘purifying oils’ you will reap the benefits of well-nourished skin without spot problems. I recommend Dcleor Aroma Purete for combination skin or Dcleor Hydra Floral for normal skin.

2. Make up remover wipes are handy, particularly for girls on the go! So take them on sleepovers for quick, mess-free make up removal but avoid using them for prolonged periods. Wipes do not replace a proper skin care regime…think mouth wash as an alternative to brushing teeth. Exactly, you wouldn’t!

3. Lip gloss compliments young, fresh skin perfectly. Don’t be tempted to try dark or bright red matt lipsticks…you did that when you played dressing up as mum ten years ago…you don’t want the same effect now! Vaseline has the same light reflecting instant plumping effect for even the thinnest lips so keep a travel size handy and reapply, reapply, reapply!

4. UV rays are a big no! Your generation is far more savvy about UV rays and burning. Sun exposure causes premature ageing and wrinkles can develop even in the early 20s with too much sun. Thankfully pale, pasty skin is a thing of the past for teens now the shelves are bursting with easy-to-use, skin nourishing creams and daily moisturisers containing hints of tanning colour that allow a safe, healthy glow to develop with continual use.

5. If you are particularly sensitive about the size of your nose, summer is the best time of the year for you! Trendy sunglasses and large brimmed hats look fabulous (teamed with skinny jeans and flip flops) and will dramatically reduce appearance of a larger nose. Uber stylish, uber clever!

6. Sparse lashes? Zig-zag your mascara brush! Whatever brand of mascara you choose it’s the application that gives thicker longer looking lashes. Start at the base of the lashes (brush under not over lashes) and keeping the brush in contact with lashes at all times, zig-zag from side to side as you move up the lash. This movement separates and coats each lash at the same time, for maximum coverage and instantly thicker, bolder lashes.

7. Everyone has sad skin days. The moment you notice an obvious spot, cover with a medicated concealer and re-style your hair! Our attention usually goes straight to what’s new, so all focus will be on your hair not on your blemish! Alternatively MAC, Couleur Caramel and STILA have great concealers.

Cannelle is a small collection of beauty salons delivering a fusion of beauty treatments in French style, launched as an exclusive franchise in selected areas across the UK. With over 25% of Cannelle’s clientele over the age of 50, France Baudet, owner of Cannelle Beauty salons argues there is no need for facelifts as mature women are better at looking after their skin than ever, in particular favouring full anti-ageing facials, eye treatments and eyebrow shaping. In addition there is an increase of 10% of men over the age of 50 visiting Cannelle in the last two years, but conversely they are choosing treatments such as back massages and chest waxing.

France Baudet says: “You can easily tell when a woman has looked after her skin for years but that is not to say if you are a late starter that it is too late! There are a huge number of treatments and products on the market that keeps your skin supple, healthy and glowing as a mature woman. The real tell-tale areas are of course around your eyes, neck and hands. The same goes for men although of course focused skin care is a comparatively new thing for most men.”

A favourite treatment with immediate and dramatic anti-ageing results offered at Cannelle, is the CACI Ultimate which is an effective non-surgical treatment which redefines facial contours, plumps out deep lines and wrinkles, as well as tackles a range of skin imperfections combining micro-current facial toning, crystal free microdermabrasion and LED photo rejuvenation.

France Baudet’s mature skin beauty tips are:

1. Avoid ‘setting’ makeup with too much loose powder. It will settle into fine lines and pores and is appears ageing. Instead apply a good primer before applying any makeup and your makeup will last all day without the need for loose powder. I recommend Couleur Caramel white and apricot primer creams.

2. Bright chiffon and silk scarfs are back which is good news for those of us who feel our neck and dcollet reveals a more mature age than we would like! Whether dressed for the office or casual weekend wear, a small silk scarf tied loosely at the neck is bang on trend and takes years off! 2011 spring colours are green- based with pink and blues featuring prominently.

3. As we age our eyebrows get sparser. Use a soft eyebrow pencil or carefully applied eye shadow to thicken eyebrows and frame your eyes beautifully. Always choose a colour that matches your hair colour – nothing too dark or severe.

4. Change your moisturiser regularly. As we mature our skin can take longer to hydrate and becomes immune to products if used year in year out. Each season change the moisturiser you use to adapt to the changes in weather and keep skin happy and hydrated all year round.

5. Avoid glitter and anything overtly shimmery when choosing makeup and clothes. Remember, it is not about looking younger, it is about confidence and your own beauty.

6. Use a rich hand cream with SPF all year. The skin on our hands is continually exposed to elements and reveals an age we may want to hide… invest in regular manicures also to ensure healthy nails and skin.

7. The only way to see the full benefits of beauty routine is to keep it regimented! By continually taking care of your skin, you will reap the benefits in the long run.

8. Anti-ageing creams are only effective if they suit your skin type. Rather than choosing one based on your age, choose it on what your skin needs from a cream.

Cannelle also offer any combination of treatments a la carte for brides.

Owner of Cannelle, France Baudet says: “Here at Cannelle we believe your wedding day is the moment when you must truly glow with radiance and confidence and most of all feel gorgeous, relaxed and on-top-of the world. It is important not to leave your skin care, make up and well-being to chance!”

Cannelle’s other wedding beauty tips include:

* Wedding make up on the day should take no longer than 30-45 mins as you would have had a trial and your therapist should know exactly what to do. In your trial try different looks if necessary in order to get it absolutely perfect.

* Hair is always done first as it will hold for much longer. Make up is always the last thing to be done before the bride gets into her dress. We also recommend that every bride has a ‘touch up kit’ that she takes with her on the day, which consists of the essential pieces of make up that will just freshen the look as the day goes on.

* Quality eyelash extensions are very popular for weddings as they are the perfect enhancement for your big day.

France Baudet says: “In France a bride to be would go to her favourite beauty therapist so she could forget about the stresses of organising a wedding. She would expect her to know exactly what she needs to make her skin glow, to ensure she looks absolutely polished and to be able to create the most professional but natural wedding make up for the big day.”

A leading cause of dry and damaged skin, including wrinkles and spot breakouts, is the heavy use and constant application of chemical-based make-up. Years of prolonged exposure to these products drains the skin of its moisture and natural vitality.

Keep your skin hydrated with Emani Liquid Mineral Foundations for added skin moisture. The liquid mineral foundations are infused with a luxurious blend of Hyaluronic acid (nicknamed by the press as the “key to the fountain of youth”), Vitamin A and jojoba oil that promotes increased moisture in the skin. Emanis Liquid Mineral Foundations are entirely non-comedongenic meaning that they wont block pores and cause blackheads and are ideal for dry or mature skin.

Emani offers the following 12 Liquid Mineral Foundations that are all paraben free, talc free, gluten free and vegan friendly:
Natural Beige
Crme Beige
Honey Beige
Oyster Beige
Bit of Beige
Deep Beige
Golden Suede
Golden Amber
Golden Tan
Warm Mocha
Warm Cocoa
Warm Espresso

In the past, liquid foundations have received harsh reviews and, in most cases, they are correct. Says Michelle Doan, Emani Mineral Founder. A typical woman wears her foundation most of the day (8-16 hours), which is longer than our night cream in an effort to rejuvenate the skin when sleeping. Therefore, Emani reversed-engineered the liquid foundation and replaced the ingredients with natural derived materials to enhance the skins beautiful, natural luster.

Each Emani Mineral product is vegan, and free of talc, gluten or parabens.

Rock Face Minerals have announced the addition of Razzle Dazzle finishing powder and Mellow Yellow corrector to their range of pure mineral makeup products.

As Emma McCrory, founder of Rock Face Minerals explains “I’ve used mineral makeup for years but could never find a finishing veil in other ranges that I liked. When I set up Rock Face Minerals I was determined that all the products in the range would be ones that I could personally recommend.”

“While you can use Rock Face Mineral pure mineral foundation on its own and get a long lasting flawless finish, the new Razzle Dazzle finishing powder adds a beautiful glow and enhances your complexion. The Mellow Yellow corrector helps neutralise any areas of high pigmentation such as acne or rosacea – just apply to the affected areas before applying Rock Face Minerals mineral foundation as normal. A little goes a very long way!”
