Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Review

I have used the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa for the last 4 weeks and it has really changed my skin for the better. At the cost of 2 professional salon visits it’s well worth the hype. I now can see amazing results in the comfort of my own bathroom. It’s lifted my jaw line. My cheeks, around my mouth and eyes have really been smoothed out. Also my pores actually look like I have spent a fortune on weekly treatments. The fine lines are around my eyes have all but vanished. it looks like I have expensive spa visits. It’s a little like ironing out the skin. The more you use this device the better the results. What’s great about this is that I found it actually works much like a professional Galvanic machine. These work by sending a current through the skin and enable products to be penetrated deeper into the underlying cells. And also to cleanse the skin to allow the new podcast to be introduced. It will create a slight metallic taste, this is completely normal and professional services do just the same.

Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Review
I use the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa (incredible little gadget) around 3 times a week for 5 minutes a time for each gel stage that comes with the kit. I just pop it into my regular nighttime routine and I’m sorted.

Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Routine

  1. I take off my makeup with an oil based lotion. This will get rid of stubborn eye makeup and daily build up of London life.
  2. I then cleanse with my skin with Caudilie facial foam. I will do a full review of this very soon!
  3. I then chop off the end of the pre gel treatment and apply 1/2 of the tube all over my face.
  4. Then I damp my hand under the tap and place my fingers on the metal pad at the back.
  5. Turn on the machine to No1 and start to gently use upward motions, a bit like a facial massage. You will hear the machine beep and this tells you its working.
  6. I do this for about 2 1/2 minutes then move onto the other side. This stage is the deep cleansing stage where its having a souphficaton effect. This means its turning the grease and grime into a soap like substance that can be washed off.
  7. Then it time for the treatment mode No2. Cut open the treatment tube and add 1/2 to the entire face and just repeat the movements from before.
  8. If I am doing my weekly mask I would apply this now for about 10- 20 mins while relaxing in the bath.
  9. I then lightly remove any excess and apply a pea sized amount of Nu Skin night cream.
  10. I always follow this with my Hydropeptide eye cream! Check out my article here on some other incredible products.

Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Review

 

When I used the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa for the first time I decided to do just one side of my face! It’s truly amazing and I suggest if you purchase this bathroom anti ageing buddy that you do the same!! I get told all the time that I have amazing skin and regularly get asked for ID! I think this really has helped loads over the last few weeks as my skin hasn’t looked this great in months.

Once the skin has gone too far with the ageing process we can only maintain what we have. Their is no miracle cure and its all down to upkeep. You need to know that the effectiveness of expensive salon facial electrical treatments are not miracle workers but they will assist to help keep the skin in good condition. But also you need to have regular treatments going forward or the effects will be lost and your money just wasted. I have had this little device for over 6 months and annoyed I didn’t start using it sooner. I am now converted and happy to have this little baby sitting on its stand taking pride and place on my vanity unit!

Latisse Eyebrow Growth Review

You might recall my first ever article for Frost Magazine? Well it was a very long time ago! I was asked to write about a new way of using the product MyLash or Latisse ages ago and just totally forgot to give it a go. I love to road test all sorts of beauty crazes for all of our readers. So here is my Latisse Eyebrow Growth Review.

Do you long for stunning, beautiful thick and enviable brows? Eyebrows really frame the face and they can take years off someones appearance if they look luscious, shiny and in beautiful condition. When they look thin, uneven and sparse they can add years to what could be a stunning and pretty face. Latisse for eyebrows could be the answer to many girls problems. My Latisse eyebrow growth review has turned into a new way of loving this product. If you desire to look even a little like Cara Delevingne the model known for her distinctive eyebrows, you need to keep reading. Or if your brows just won’t grow after years and years of over plucking. If your getting a little older and your noticing hair changes like thin brows. if you have been enthusiastically removing a few too many hairs, or even if you crave those Cara brows that are so in fashion right now, then this could well be your next best friend.

I have had a long suffering relationship with my eyebrows. They where sparse, thin, pale and naturally a very odd shape. I used to get by with just regular biweekly HD brow treatments, eyebrow pencils, setting gels of all different descriptions, clear, brown, red or black depending on what colour my hair was one week to the next. I have tons of eyebrow shadow and I dye the life out of them in hope that one day I will wake up looking like Cara.Latisse Eyebrow Growth Review

You all know I love MyLash or Latisse as its known in America and its going down a storm over in the states. Latisse eyebrow growth treatment is simply brilliant and why I haven’t I tried it and written about it before I will never know. Better late than never hey! Latisse eyebrows I predict will be the next big beauty trend. The use of Latisse on the brows started in America about 3 years ago and they are loving the product so much. Well I decided to give this a go after being sent a top up of the products recently. I am their Ambassador when it comes to the lashes as I swear by the stuff.

I have been using it religiously for a few weeks to see what happens. Well I’m delighted to tell you my brows are not what they once where. They are plumper, thicker and more glossy than ever. They need to bottle this stuff and make it into a scalp serum! Then every girls dream of longer and thicker locks would come true! I have only been using it for short time and already I can see a great change.

The reason I decided to try this after years of using it on my lashes (can’t live without it) was because I was about to get my brow tattoo redone, but to be brutally honest with you all I couldn’t go through with the pain ever again. Looking back I fooled myself in thinking it didn’t hurt and that they looked amazing, but in truth they actually looked fake. So now my semipermanent brows have faded (thank god) and what was left needed some natural attention.

So a few weeks ago I grabbed my bottle of MyLash and set about giving this a trial. Before I went to bed each evening and at the same time as I brushed my teeth it was brow rehab time. Fast forward to today and my once nasty thin and patchy eyebrows have been restored with fresh new hair all thanks to MyLash. The bald patches have been replaced, the gaps have been filled in and I feel fresher due to it being my own real hair. Can I dare say a little younger too?! When they where primarily tattooed in they looked a little too thin and very…well block like. Very ageing when I look back at close up shots.
I’m so thrilled to have naturally thicker eyebrows for the first time in years. All down to MyLash or Latisse as its know in the U.S.

 

How to apply Latisse eyebrow

  1. I do this once a day, normally before I go to bed. I apply the serum to my lash line at the same time for the most incredible long lashes. Read my full review of MyLash here to see photographic evidence that this little product is mind blowing and magical. You will be amazed I promise you.
  2. Cleanse and tone the skin.
  3. Moisturise but leave out the brow area as you want the make sure the product sinks into the skin.
  4. Use one of the little applicators to apply one drop of the eyebrow growth product to each eyebrow. Now rub it along the hair follicles that are already there. Then apply it where you would like them to grow.
  5. Have patience as it can take up to 4/6 weeks to see new hair appear in places where their hasn’t been any for years. The hair that’s already there will start to look thicker, darker and glossier within 2-4 weeks.
  6. If it drips down don’t worry your not going to get a hairy face! It needs to be repeatedly applied over a few weeks to see growth.
  7. While growing brows use it once a day and when you have grown them out. Use it around 2-3 times a week to maintain the thickness.

I’m so happy with my new thicker, stronger and more beautiful brows. I get asked all the time about my age and I really do think good brows have a lot to do with looking younger. If your face is naturally framed you don’t need to cake tons of ageing makeup on either. Just a buff of mineral foundation, a cream blusher, a little black eyeliner flick. One or two coats of mascara on your longer and now stunning lashes. All this framed by those perfect brows that even Cara would be proud of!

Here are some before and after images I have found on the internet of Latisse helping others. I haven’t documented mine stage by stage as my brow tattoo has faded and looks kind of weird. My brows are gradually growing over the old now grey looking hair stokes. They have improved so much i can’t wait to see what they will look like in a few weeks.

Macadamia Professional Launch

I attended the launch of a very exciting hair range recently. Macadamia are known for their hair oils and now they have created a fantastic new collection of professional products for salons and home use. I was mesmerised at the performance of the entire range.

They are for sale on their website so don’t worry if your salon isn’t stocking just yet, and if you are a salon wanting these just hit THIS LINK and you can introduce the entire range for your customers to go crazy over. It won’t be long before this range pops up in salon near you as this range is quite frankly superb. I have had a drastic cut recently and these are helping restore my hairs lustre, bounce and body. One of the main reasons I cut it off was it had become dry from using hotel shampoos and conditioners while traveling recently. Most inferoiur products contain Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES for short) and these strip the hair of vital goodness and essential oils. It’s not widely know that this nasty chemical can cause eye or skin irritations. The worst thing about SLES is that its used in experiments done on animals and humans. So if your Vegan you need to check those bottles guys. SLES can also cause irritation after extended exposure with some people. I can see you all dashing off to check bathroom cabinets very soon. You will be amazed at how many of your favourite products contain this substance.

So knowing all of this you would think that I would be more aware of hair heath…NO! I threw caution to the wind and also had a little fling with mega blonde hair. The combination left my once beautiful mane a tad dry and frizzy. Then macadamia pro came into my life! It’s a game changer that’s for sure! Along with being kind to your hair  and free from SLES the new Macadamia range is cruelty and gluten free. Yes you read that right, it doesn’t contain any wheat based or gluten products. With allergies being on the increase its so important to remember that your skin absorbs countless substances throughout the day. The skin is the largest organ we have so it makes sense to protect ourselves from over exposure to unnecessary products. I’m a coeliac suffer and this was music to my ears. Who would have thought a brand could be so forward thinking! Myself and my new cropped hair are extremely happy to say the least.

Take yourself over to their website here to see the entire range! I will be doing individual reviews on all their products over the next few weeks. Make sure you pop back and check them out.

So with that I will cut this short!!! And say bye until next time!

Come and say hi over at twitter too! @Sarahbacchus or check out my blog SLBstyle.com for more fashion, food and fun.

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.

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.
