For Professionals : KeraLuxe Safe Keratin Treatment: Beauty Meets Safety

Journalist | January 30, 2012

KeraLuxe Safe Keratin Treatment (SKT) is revolutionizing the beauty industry with a simple message: Beauty Meets Safety. KeraLuxe believes a client should not have to suffer health risks to look beautiful. Beauty must be achieved safely. Shockingly, most keratin treatments in the market contain harmful ingredients such as aldehyde releasing chemicals. Beauty salons worldwide have banned other keratin treatments due to their high content of toxic formaldehyde. Yet the industry required a healthy, effective alternative to replace these toxic products. KeraLuxe SKT was specially developed in response to the growing needs of consumers, salon owners, and cosmetology professionals, who demand health-conscious products from the beauty industry.

All KeraLuxe products contain natural ingredients and nourishing vitamins essential for beautiful, healthy and shiny hair. Their products are FDA and OSHA compliant, which means they do not contain banned ingredients that are commonly found in other cosmetic formulas.

KeraLuxe Safe Keratin Treatment truly is the safest and most advanced keratin treatment on the market. For more information and frequently asked questions, visit www.kera-luxe.com.

KeraLuxe Safe Keratin Treatment
KeraLuxe Safe Keratin Treatment has an advanced low pH mechanism that infuses vital keratin amino acids into the hair. Applying proper heat and light pressure with a flat iron creates a chemical reaction that binds these essential hair proteins with the hair. KeraLuxe Safe Keratin Treatment contains specially formulated ingredients that weaken the hydrogen and salt bonds of the hair and allows for the interconversion of the cysteine bonds of the hair fibers surface. The resulting temporary (3-4 months) change of the hair structure provides the following benefits to the hair:
CURL REDUCTION UP TO 95%
VOLUME AND FRIZZ CONTROL
EXTRA SHINE AND NATURAL LOOK

The professional must be properly trained and closely follow instructions to effectively apply this treatment. One bottle will yield about eight (8) applications.

CANNELLE DIVULGE BEAUTY BUSINESS TRAVEL TIPS

Journalist | October 24, 2011

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!
