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.

To help men regain control over their skin, Works with Water Nutraceuticals has launched help: clear skin MEN, a health supplement with 100% natural ingredients clinically proven to reduce the appearance of spots and blemishes within six weeks.

Although we all get the odd pimple from time to time, when every day is a bad skin day, it can affect a person’s confidence and sense of well-being. Acne affects a quarter of all men at some point in their adult lives.

help: clear skin MEN is easy to implement into your daily routine. Take a sachet of help: clear skin MEN twice a day – just add it to your favourite drink – for a minimum of six weeks for best possible results to help clear spots and acne. The powder dissolves in water and other non-carbonated beverages, without altering the taste or texture.

help: clear skin MEN contains 100% natural ingredients including Praventin – a bioactive protein extracted from milk using advanced scientific methods – which is rich in Lactoferrin, known to reduce the development of bacteria responsible for many skin impurities. In addition, it also helps to prevent blemishes and spots forming due to its antimicrobial effect.

Praventin is a natural ingredient derived from milk, which has been proven to help people achieve a clearer complexion by enhancing the body’s natural defences. It limits the growth of acne bacteria, reduces the blemishes associated with acne and assists in the repair of damaged skin cells caused by blemishes.

Although Praventin can be found in milk, the beneficial skin clearing effect is only activated when this bioactive protein is extracted from the milk. This means that drinking litres of milk is not going to deliver the same benefit. So the solution is to simply take a sachet of help: clear skin MEN twice a day to get the required measured dosage of Lactoferrin to help clear spots and acne.

In addition to Praventin, help: clear skin MEN contains:
* Aloe Vera: a high extract of this healing plant has a smoothing and nourishing effect on the skin
* Oligofructose: a natural source of soluble fibre. Increasing fibre intake prevents your body from expelling toxics that affect the skin and help avert acne

help: clear skin MEN is available from selected GNC stores nationwide and online , priced at 9.99.

Jason Shankey’s Limited Edition ‘Perfect Shave’ comprises Shankey’s three shaving products and his expert guide to shaving, all packaged together in a gorgeous, masculine box.

Shankey’s range of products were developed over a number of years using a hands-on approach, and contain a fascinating list of ingredients which claim to help men’s skin to look clearer, healthier and younger. The range is available in his Salons and selected retailers across the UK and Netherlands.

From hair growth inhibitors to super exfoliants, the range guarantees a pain-free shave by targeting both the natural and man made processes which cause skin to look red and aggravated, resulting in baby smooth skin with no visible signs of redness.

He told us “97% of men suffer from pain, irritation and redness due to shaving, and my unique ‘Perfect Shave’ recipe utilises our three hero products which target men’s underlying shaving problems, facilitating a quick, painless and easy to follow daily routine. By slowing down the beard regrowth, men don’t need to shave as often. And shaving less often means less scraping of the skin, resulting in better looking skin”.

Shankey is in big demand from his enviable list of male celebrity fans, who want to look younger and healthier, and his products are in big demand both in the UK and further afield.

The Perfect Shave box is priced at 48.00 and will be available at selected retailers from 1st June 2011. See the stockists page on their website for details.

Whether you are a man who just enjoys taking care of himself, or someone who needs a pick me up after working long office hours, or a new parent with tired eyes and dull skin tone, or a sportsman with unsightly feet or aching, tired muscles, or a man who wants a Brazilian wax, Cannelle offers a range of treatments including three different facials, energising body treatments, IPL permanent hair removal and much more.

Cannelle has launched ‘Pour Les Hommes’ for the best in men’s beauty and skin fitness therapy including a growing in demand Brazilian wax for men. Pour Les Hommes pays homage to the fact that in much of Europe it is customary for men to regularly visit the beauty salon for massages, manicures and facials.

France Baudet, owner of French beauty salons, Cannelle says: “When I first opened Cannelle 13 years ago, men were more reluctant to come to the beauty salon but our salons are now seeing that men want to take better care of themselves and their skin and are now following their European counterparts. We take great pride in the fact that we offer men’s specially tailored treatments whether it be facial skincare, back and shoulder massage, waxing or body treatments. We kept being asked about men’s Brazilian waxing and so are happy to provide the service.

“Men are not checking their masculinity at the door, it is all about grooming, looking after yourself and getting past women only stereotypes. We know men account for the fastest-growing spa population but they are also demanding more services and skincare products.”

Richard Towers says: “I used to be very squeamish about having any sort of treatments but now I look forward to my monthly massage to help my aching shoulder and back.”

Cannelle also stocks the full range of ‘Declor for Men’ products so their clients can continue their skin care routine at home.

Men Are Useless, which delivers a letter-boxed sized, high quality, monthly pack of products, found that over three quarters of men (78 per cent) admit to bathroom theft across a range of, sometimes surprising, products. The UKs first male grooming subscription service looks set to rid men of one of their more irritating habits stealing their partners toiletries.

The service, which surveyed hundreds of men across all age ranges, found they frequently run out of toiletries, with the highest proportion (38 per cent) admitting to stealing shampoo, ten per cent their partners razor and another seven per cent owning up to using their partners toothbrush.

Asked to name their most desperate bathroom moments, one in five admitted to washing all over with conditioner, with seven per cent saying theyve resorted to using washing up liquid.

Paul Johnson, Men Are Useless founder, said: The idea behind Men Are Useless is very clear were here to cover the boring, but important, bits of mens lives and were starting with the UKs first monthly male toiletry delivery scheme. Lets face it – men would rather be out there catching baddies or practicing wheelies than browsing the shopping aisles. Our service will bring relief to men and women alike great brands brought together on a monthly basis either as a way of avoiding that last minute dash to the shops or as a gift for someone useless.

Packs start from 9.99 per month (including delivery) and contain everything from shower gel and shampoo through to razors and shave gel. Gift pack subscriptions are also available.

Guy Jeremiah, entrepreneur and Chief Executive of Aquatina, has already joined up. He said: I love taking care of my appearance but I just dont have the time to consider which products I need and I never remember to keep the bathroom cabinet stocked up. I love the Men Are Useless idea it just gives me one less thing to worry about and several less shops to visit.

Its no secret that cucumbers are an incredibly healthy addition to any balanced diet, clear out your intestines and best of all, taste deliciously refreshing. But, did you know that you dont have to eat cucumbers to get the best out of it, for your skin and body?

Extracting the seeds from the cucumber, drying and steaming them, creates a Cucumber Seed Oil that makes a brilliant additive to many skin and naturally curly hair care products.

But why are they so utterly good? Its because cucumbers are full of lots of nutritious goodies, of course. The yummy hidden treats in cucumbers include:
Vitamin C
Antioxidants
Anti-inflammatory properties
Potassium
Silica
Magnesium
Fluorine
Sodium
Chlorine

All mixed together, these natural properties work at reviving your natural beauty, in both your skin and your natural hair.

Any girl knows that putting cucumbers on your eyes is a brilliant way of reducing puffiness (bags) and dark circles around the eyes. This is due to the way that cucumber prevents water retention, is full of vital vitamin C and antioxidants that keep our skin silky smooth, whilst protecting it from conditions that mean our skin needs extra moisture; illnesses, sun burn, dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis.

Cucumber Seed Oil works even better against sun burn and redness, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, that works hard to soothe discomfort, caused by sun, where the skin desperately needs moisture. The anti-inflammatory properties also work well at reducing spots, pimples and blackheads from all areas of your skin.

Cucumbers are also a natural source of silica, which works at ensuring that our skin and complexion looks healthy, bright, glowing and rejuvenated, and repairing skin cells, whilst minimising the signs of age spots.

Silica is also a key to keeping naturally curly hair healthy, by strengthening and encouraging the growth of new hair. Whilst also restoring hairs elasticity, reducing the chances of hair breakage, caused by the usual extremes in life, such as stress, pollution and chlorinated water that can actually damage natural hair growth.

Cucumber Seed Oil also helps ensure elasticity, thanks to the huge amount of Phytosterols that strengthen the skins lipid barrier, making sure that your skin gets just the right balance of moisture.

So, ultimately, cucumber seed oil infused skin and naturally curly hair care products will make your skin beautiful, and your hair so healthy that everyone will be desperate to know your beauty secrets.
