Beauty and Haircare for October
We all know that looking good comes from within, so this month, make sure you concentrate on spoiling yourself and taking some time to enjoy the things you like most.
October can still be pretty mild, so get some fresh air. If you feel the cold, wrap up in a pretty Autumn scarf, warm coat, gloves and a hat if necessary and take a walk. Research shows that fresh air and a little sunshine is essential for mental health and wellbeing. So don't hide yourself indoors feeling miserable, treat yourself to a day out in the country admiring the flowers and wildlife.
After your day out, have a soak in a lovely warm bath with plenty of bubble bath - another great way to feel good. Wrap up in a big fluffy towel afterwards and treat yourself to your favourite body lotion and perfume. Or if you prefer a shower, experiment with a new shower gel. You can find plenty of fruity goodies at The Body Shop, my favourite is Pink Grapefruit Shower Gel.
A new hair cut for the Autumn is another way to lift your spirits and knock years off you. Have a much needed trim or ask your favourite stylist for advice on what will suit you best. You'll come out of the salon feeling a million dollars.
And last of all keep smiling and happy. Have a laugh with your grandchildren, play a silly board game with your partner, or go out for a cappuccino and muffin with a friend. Above all have fun. You'll be surprised at how many people ask you for tips on your new beauty regime!
Have a fantastic October. If you have any beauty tips we'd love to hear from you. Take care.

A Revolution in Eyebrow Perfection
Eyewear Europe Ltd, based in Maghull, Liverpool are
the official distributor of Brow Beater the exciting new concept in
eyebrow grooming.
Most of us know that ensuring our eyebrows are
plucked to perfection is an art, one that is difficult to master
with poor vision. So, after many years of trying to come to terms
with unsatisfactory “make up glasses” and magnifying mirrors that
distorted her features, inventor; Marjorie Moyse, who’s background
is beauty, having previously owned a successful hair and beauty
centre in Canada, decided to develop something that would enable her
to do just that.
“I designed Brow Beater for myself, knowing that I
would be helping millions of others too, trying and testing so
many similar products on the market encouraged me to create Brow
Beaters,” explains Marjorie Moyse, inventor.
Marjorie refined the model by trying it out on some
of her own customers at the salon, family and friends until she had
a design that was tweaked and perfected to suit, the feedback was
phenomenal.
In addition to aiding perfect eyebrow grooming Brow
Beater is essential for those intricate at home beauty regimes, they
will assist in pedicures, hair removal and accurate eye make-up
application due to the hinged lenses. They are light weight, easy to
wear and made of durable non allergenic polycarbonate.
·
Brow Beaters are available in a choice of colours and
four strengths: +1.50, +2.00, +2.50 and +3.00. |

Humble Seaside Crab Could Hold the Answer to Split Nails
A New survey shows that 75% of women are unaware of the causes of nail damage. But a small seaside crab could provide the much-needed antidote to the nation’s damaged nails.
Scientists at the UK nail company Nail-It! have discovered the humble crustacean’s shell has been hiding a secret which is now saving the state of our battered toe and finger nails.
The crab uses a substance called Chitosan to build and repair its shell. Scientists have now synthesised the chemical and it is being used to repair human nails.
The discovery has been made just in time. A new report from Derma UK, the makers of Nail-It!, has found three out of four women are unaware that using acetone-based nail varnish remover can damage their nails.
“We were amazed by the result of the survey,” says Phil Carroll, MD of Nail-It! “We polled our customer base and people making enquiries on our website www.nailit.org and discovered that three quarters of the women we questioned were in the dark about the effects of acetone on their nails.”
The majority of women in the UK buy non-acetone nail varnish remover but this can be up to three times as expensive.
One expert has issued a strong warning to nail varnish wearers: “Nail varnish remover contains harsh chemicals which can damage and split nails and should not be used more than twice a month,” says Debbie Flatt, beauty expert and lecturer at North West Kent College.
“Nails are a form of hair and just like the human skin and hair, they have a pH balance,” explains Debbie. “Acetone removes the natural oils from the keratin-filled nail plate, which can have a drying effect.
“Nails can become flaky and continued use of acetone could even lead to a fungal infection.”
Luckily help is at hand. Nail-It! is a DIY solution which uses Chitosan. Applying a thin film of the lacquer helps strengthen and stabilise nail structure and protect against damage caused by physical, chemical or microbiological agents.
“I’d like to think women were aware of the dangers of acetone nail varnish removers but the fact that they are still on the shelves is proof that they’re not,” adds Debbie. “I think people just buy them because they’re so cheap. But you really do get what you pay for.”
Debbie Flatt recommends applying a thin coat of Nail-It! before putting nail varnish on and then again after removing it to protect nails from the damage caused by acetone.
About Nail-It
Nail-It is a popular paint-on nail product, which helps to strengthen and stabilise the nail structure and protects nails, which have been damaged by physical, chemical or microbiological means including fungal nail infections.
Nail-it! lacquer is based on a product called Chitosan, which bonds to the keratin in the nail to stabilise, protect and level the nail-surface.
