Andrea Reveals Her 2 Favourite Skincare Products

Tan cream

The Story Behind the Brand - Gillian Robson
 
Co-Founder of Tancream, Gillian Robson’s life changed dramatically six years ago when she found a mole on her leg that had changed. Within a few days, she was undergoing surgery for skin cancer (melanoma) and has had many more moles removed since.
 
At this time, Gillian was a busy mum running her own successful beauty business. She was advised to wear high protection sun cream SPF50, 5 star UVA, even in winter. As she liked to have a tan, she used fake tan. Rather than using lots of different products in her morning skincare routine, she searched worldwide for a product that she could use every day that did everything. It soon became apparent that there wasn’t anything available and so she had a lightbulb moment!
 
After more than two years of intensive research, Tancream – a unique product combining a high factor sun cream with self-tan and luxury moisturising lotion – was born.

Silcskin

The Story Behind the Brand - Camille Calvet 

Entrepreneur / Mother / Wife / Two Time Emmy Award Winning Makeup Artist / Thyroid Cancer Survivor

Silcskin is a world leader in non-invasive anti-wrinkle solutions. Developed 20 years ago by Camille Calvet an Emmy award-winning makeup artist. As early as 2003, SilcSkin pioneered the first use of medical-grade silicone in the use for anti-wrinkle pads. In fact, it was during her career as a special effects makeup artist that Camille Calvet experimented with silicone as a treatment for wrinkles. Camille would use silicone-based prosthetics in her work. One day, as she removed the prosthetics from an actor, she noticed that the skin exposed to the silicone looked softer and smoother. She found out that medical-grade silicone was being used in the medical industry to treat keloid scarring.

Further innovation brought about the first prototype — the chest pad — which would eventually lead to SilcSkin’s Decollette Pad, the best selling anti-wrinkle pad.

Silcskin medical grade silicone products are specially designed to get rid of wrinkles on specific areas of the body, such as the brow, around the eyes, around the mouth, the neck and the chest.
The decollete pad (for the chest) can also be used on the stomach & top of the thigh. 
The best selling Decollette pads are designed to correct and prevent chest wrinkles caused by sun damage, ageing, and sleeping on your side. They are very discreet to wear any time of day.
