For those prone to pigmentation, it will always be worse during the summer months. As it is mostly at that time of year that pigmentation shows itself, I thought I would provide some pigmentation skin health tips. I have some great new products to tell you about too!

Our big news this month is….

A-D Calf Traveno_man_RGB.jpg

Protecting your legs while travelling.

More and more people are flying long distances and having to remain seated for long periods of time. When movement is constrained, the blood circulation in the legs is restricted. This situation can lead to several common symptoms such as heavy legs, leg pain and swollen feet and ankles. Prolonged sitting is also a major risk factor for development of phlebitis and thrombosis (blood clot formation). The discomfort applies to other types of long distance travel such as car, train or bus as well.

A simple and comfortable way to help relieve the symptoms of heavy legs, leg pain, swollen feet and ankles during travel is to wear SIGVARIS TRAVENO socks.


The Traveno, a unisex flight sock made by Sigvaris, one of the world's leading manufacturers of medical compression socks, have used their research to produce the world's best flight sock.


I think these socks are great! They are high-quality, offer strong support, are medically tested and cost only £14.99.

Neostrata expands the SKIN ACTIVE range with the launch of clinically proven SKIN ACTIVE Line Lift featuring breakthrough professional strength Aminofilâ„¢.

The SKIN ACTIVE Line Lift duo is an elegant, easy-to-use, two-step treatment. Applied together twice daily, it targets deep expression lines, such as scowl lines (glabellar), crow's feet, eye area crepiness, smoker's (lip) lines, and smile (nasolabial) lines. Line Lift contains NeoStrata proprietary SynerG 13.0 formulations featuring Aminofil™, NeoCitriate™ and NeoGlucosamine®. These ingredients work together synergistically to help build glycosaminoglycans, including hyaluronic acid, and collagen to volumize the deep skin matrix and visibly lift lines that can't be addressed by an anti-ageing skincare regime.

The Baby Quasar Clear Rayz system is now available to you and with £10 off the price!

Since 2001, Baby Quasar has continued to deliver professional quality skin care tools that meet high expectations for both professionals and home users. Now Baby Quasar has added a safe and scientific LED Light Therapy device specially designed to defeat acne.

The Clear Rayz system has been created by the same scientists, engineers and designers that brought the Baby Quasar product to market.


Clear Rayz
is a small, hand-held light source, equipped with both red and blue LED lights. It is a compact, easy to use, two-sided LED device and is easy to clean. It works to clear up acne and prevent future outbreaks.

Clear Rayz is classified as a LED Light Therapy device by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration in the USA), and has cleared their regulations for treating acne. Clear Rayz utilises natural, safe, painless LED coloured light waves. There are no harmful UV rays or irritating chemicals, just safe blue and red LED light.

Research has shown that blue LED light activates naturally occurring chemicals to combat the bacteria which are at the root of acne breakouts. Red LED light also has an effect on these chemicals, but penetrates deeper to combat the inflammation that accompanies the outbreak.

With regular use, improvement of acne can be seen within one week.

My pigmentation tips:

pigment

- The most important product to use is a sunscreen daily with an SPF factor of 30 or 50.

- Apply a pigmentation lightening product twice daily to the area (containing ingredients like Kojic Acid, Alpha-Arbutin, Phytic acid, SabiWhite, skin brightening peptides, Vitamin C, Azelaic Acid, Liquorice and Mulberry).

- Apply Vitamin C every morning after cleansing, then follow with a lightening product.
Antioxidant (Vitamin C) safeguards the skin from photo-ageing by preventing the formation of free radicals & also helps reduce melanin formation in the skin (skin pigment).

- Using exfoliants (Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid) can also help fade pigmentation by speeding up cell turnover and accelerating the natural peeling of pigmented or dead skin cells and stimulating new skin cell growth. Maybe use a cleanser & moisturiser which contains AHA’s.

- Use Retinol at night if your pigmentation is stubborn as it increases cell turnover and exfoliation.

To carry on the theme, we are offering 10% off all pigment lightening products throughout September!
