Dr Darren McKeown skincare has unveiled a new product offering in the form of

Stop and Wow The Instant Skin Perfector.

Developed by Dr Darren McKeown, a leading practitioner in the field of facial aesthetics, the product offers a cross between traditional skincare cream and a powerful cosmetic treatment.

Stop and Wow The Instant Skin Perfector contains a spherical micro particle designed to fit into irregularities in the skin’s surface providing a blurring effect to minor imperfections, open pores and wrinkles.

Stop and Wow The Instant Skin Perfector launches in the UK this September, exclusively available on QVC.co.uk beauty priced at £30 (30 ml).

Even before he graduated, Dr McKeown became fascinated with the field of minimally invasive aesthetic medicine. He spent a summer term with a plastic surgeon in Beverley Hills learning about epicanthoplasty, just at the time a little-known drug – Botox – was starting to make a big impact. The results he saw made a lasting impression.

After graduating from the University of Glasgow he spent five years with the NHS, becoming a member of the Royal College of Surgeons and undertaking three years of specialist training in plastic surgery. At the same time, still inspired by the work he saw in California, Dr Darren McKeown set to work privately developing his own practice, the Aesthetic Medicine Institute.

Here, he experimented with traditional techniques using Botox and fillers, perfecting the natural results that have become a trademark. With his reputation growing, he decided to devote his time exclusively to minimally invasive cosmetic medicine and focus on achieving the best possible results for his customers.

Today Dr McKeown divides his time between his practices in London and Glasgow. His papers have been published in several prestigious medical journals and he is recognised by the media as an official voice in his specialist field.

Lentil Curry

This is a very easy, simple and staple dish in our house and we create this on this days when its drizzly outside. When the wet weather sets in its time to get those spices out and rustle up a big pot of hot and delicious happiness. Whats great about this recipe is that its a vegan meal that can be adapted for sides, or of a whopper of a main meat eaters meal. All you need to do is add a little extra sustenance towards the end of the cooking time. The best bit though I have saved till last….And thats that this dish is ultra kind on those hips as I didn’t you any oil or fats when cooking.Lentil Curry Lentil Curry Lentil Curry-3 Lentil Curry-4

Learning To Listen To Your Body

Recently I came down with a bout of stress related illness and I beat myself up over having time off. I felt like I was letting everyone down. Now we all get sick and we can’t help it. When it happens we all need to listen to our bodies and just go with it. It’s harder said than done learning to listen to your body and not push yourself so hard. I’m the worst for this as I will try to everything. Work full time, commute an hour to and from work, do photography at the weekends and evenings then edit those pictures and schedule articles on my days off. When I tell people what my week is like the response is always “How the heck do you do it all” In truth I have no idea. So it would make sense that my body sent me a persuasive little message. Sarah just stop….Slow down your not ever going to be a super hero. Stepping outside ones self and looking in as though you were a good friend is something we all need to do now and then.

Learning to Listen To Your Body-1

Reevaluating your life is a good thing. If you need some time off to recharge your energy then so be it.

My top 10 Tips For Listening To Your Body

1. Take a deep breath and take care of No1. Sometimes this is as important as looking after others.
2. Don’t stress out over the fact you can’t manage to do everything. These are what I have had to preach to myself over the last week!
3. Make a nice cup of tea, take a bath, get into clean pjs and get back in bed.
4. Turn off your phone when you get in from work or at 6pm
5. Don’t let others make you feel bad that you need to take care for yourself.
6. Learn to say NO.
8. Know your limits and don’t push yourself too hard.
9. Relax as stress builds up and can cause serious health problems.
10. Finally grab a good book and let your body really relax with out social media and drift off to sleep!

I believe it’s important for us to help others in life. If your feeling stressed out or poorly then learning to listen to your body can help with a lifetime of difficulties.
