Although many people believe they can replicate a facial treatment at home using products bought over the counter, this is quite far from the truth. Professional skin care in a salon has many advantages, and is well worth a little additional expense.

At a beauty salon, a trained professional diagnoses your skin type and selects and uses the correct products for your skin. With research indicating that more than 60% of people get their skin type wrong, you may have been buying the wrong type of creams and lotions for your skin. Not only does this mean you are not getting the maximum benefit from the products, you may be damaging your skin in the process. In addition, the professional products used by a salon provide, just like in a hairdressing salon, a more intense version of the over-the-counter products you can purchase. The salon can recommend products for your correct skin type that will provide you with better, longer-lasting results.

Although it may seem fairly easy to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise, or give yourself an occasional mask, you are not trained to perform many of the other treatments that are included in most facial treatments. Facial massage is an important part of the treatment, not only to improve absorption of the products applied, but also to stimulate circulation, which helps to rejuvenate your skin. Steaming is a procedure that you can try at home, but how long you should steam and other details such as distance from the steam can make a difference to the success of the procedure. Extractions, where pimples and other imperfections are removed using a sterile tool, require the specialized equipment as well as the training and experience to use it.

In addition, each of the steps in a facial are followed in a particular order to provide the maximum effect. Products are professionally applied to deep cleanse and hydrate your skin, refining the surface, helping to slow down ageing and giving your skin’s own regenerating abilities a jump start. Properly done, massage not only helps the products work better, it stimulates circulation and lymphatic drainage, ridding your skin of toxins that cause imperfections.

One treatment that can be extremely effective in removing imperfections and discoloration is a chemical peel. This is one treatment that you should not try at home, as the potential risks are quite high. You can have a superficial peel, the mildest type that works only the surface layer of the skin, a medium peel that penetrates slightly deeper, or a deep peel, which of course works even deeper into the skin. A deep peel is a serious procedure, sometimes requiring general anaesthetic.

You can opt for the quicker, more affordable mini-facial at a salon. This treatment only takes about half an hour, and will give your skin a quick boost that will last a few weeks. A full facial is about an hour long, and, depending on your skin type and problems, could be a hydrating, anti-ageing or other specialized treatment. One of the advantages of professional skin care in a salon is that they are able to tell you what you need.

Of course, the other reason people prefer professional skin care in a salon is for the relaxing experience. Not only are you being pampered and looked after by someone else, you get to lie back and relax, de-stress and enjoy the peace and quiet. For working parents, that is probably worth the expense all by itself. To obtain maximum benefits, you should try to have a facial every 4 to 6 weeks.

You meant to get to the salon this week for your usual manicure and pedicure, but you’ve been so busy, you forgot to make an appointment. If you had made the appointment, you would have spent ages wasting time in the traffic, finding a parking space, and then probably smudged or chipped a nail on the way home anyway. That’s the beauty of mobile salon services – you don’t have to worry about any of that.

Using portable equipment, the salon technician can provide manicures, pedicures, facials, massages and other services. Some salons have a portable tanning booth, so you can get a spray tanning session at home as well. Whether at home or in the office, the convenience of the technician coming to you should not be underestimated.

Mobile salon services are ideal for mums. Let’s say for example that you are attending a dinner with your husband next week. You can’t find a babysitter for daytime sitting, but you need a manicure and pedicure. A mobile technician can come to your home and do your nails while you keep an eye on the baby. Or you’re a busy career woman, rushing from meeting to meeting, often attending evening work functions. Mobile salon services can pop into your office during your lunch hour and give you a manicure or make-over so you look your best for the event you’re attending that night. They can even give you a relaxing head and shoulders massage after a flight to get you ready for the day at the office.

For brides-to-be and their bridesmaids, mobile salon services can be a blessing. No travel arrangements to worry about, saving time and expense, not to mention the fun you’ll all have getting your nails and make-up done together. Mobile salon services are also ideal for the elderly and disabled, for whom mobility may be a problem, and of course they may not be able to reach their toes to trim and polish them. Massages are very popular for this group of salon customers too, and the ability to have it done at home can make it less uncomfortable for them too.

In fact, many customers prefer to have a full body massage at home. Not only does it prevent any embarrassment or discomfort at removing clothing in a strange place where someone could accidentally walk in, it also means that you gain the full benefit of the relaxing and pampering. Instead of getting in the car and fighting traffic until all feelings of relaxation have disappeared, you can sit back and enjoy the stress free peace at home for as long as you like.

Mobile salon services may appear to be more expensive than at the salon, but if you look at the cost of travelling to the salon, parking fees and the time you waste in getting there, you will find there is not much difference at all. The convenience and comfort far outweigh any extra you may pay in any case.

Semi-permanent eyelashes are like hair extensions for your lashes. They make your lashes look longer, thicker and fuller, which makes your eyes look wider and more dramatic. Semi-permanent eyelashes are the answer to clumping, smudging mascara that you have to apply in the traffic because you ran out of time at home.

It is time consuming and tricky to get your eyelashes looking fabulous, what with curling, brushing and then trying to apply mascara without clumps and smudges. Most people find they don’t even need mascara with semi-permanent eyelashes. People who have lost their eyelashes in an accident or through illness can also benefit from semi-permanent eyelashes, as can swimmers and other sporty people who want to look good without the raccoon effect when their mascara smudges. Even if you have sensitive eyes you can get semi-permanent eyelashes, as a medical grade bonding agent is available that will minimise any reaction you may have. Because the extensions are attached to the lash and not the skin, there is very little contact between the adhesive and your skin anyway.

The technician at the salon will attach each extension to your existing lashes using a bonding agent, and may apply a sealant to strengthen the bond and prevent breakage. Semi-permanent eyelashes are made from artificial materials, but because they are flexible and weightless, you won’t notice the difference – and neither will anyone else. This is assuming you’ve selected a colour close to your natural lash colour, not the brightly coloured options that can be used for a dramatic effect for a night on the town. The different lengths and thicknesses available give you an even wider selection to choose from.

Within 3 to 6 weeks, your eyelashes will naturally fall out and regrow. When your lash falls out, the extension does too. This can lead to patchy eyelashes that look untidy and unnatural. Have a touch up done every two or three weeks to keep the lashes thick and full, or, if you only wanted them for one event, have the semi-permanent eyelashes removed.

It is really easy to look after your semi-permanent eyelashes. Don’t wear waterproof mascara, or use oil-based cosmetics, cleanser or make-up remover – they contain agents that cause the bonding agent to deteriorate. Don’t rub your eyes at all if possible to prevent breakage. You can swim and do sport, and although you probably won’t need it, use water-based mascara and non-oil based cosmetics as often as you like.

Whatever the reason for your desire for semi-permanent eyelashes, there are very few reasons that would preclude you from wearing them. For a special holiday, event or date, to accentuate your eyes and show off your best feature, or to help address lash loss, semi-permanent eyelashes provide the easiest method. For long, full lashes that won’t smudge or clump, get semi-permanent eyelashes. Imagine cutting out all the fuss around your eyelashes every morning, and then get to your salon for semi-permanent eyelashes.

Unlike make-up that must be removed and re-applied daily, permanent make-up is a tattoo that uses pigments instead of inks to provide the same appearance as make-up, without the hassle. Permanent make-up is useful for people who are allergic to cosmetics, who just don’t have time to apply make-up, or that have an oily skin that make-up slides off before the day has even started. Does permanent make-up really work? Yes – it successfully mimics natural, topically applied make-up providing a long lasting alternative to the on-off routine of normal make-up.

Permanent make-up is used to create permanent eyeliner on the top and bottom of the eye, to create lip liner and even make the lips appear fuller, or to fill in thin eyebrows or give permanent lip colour. Permanent make-up can even be used to hide discoloration on the face. It lasts about 2 to 4 years, this period varying depending on the care taken after the procedure, exposure to sunlight, use of anti-ageing creams and the use of facial peels. The sun fades the pigment quicker, but the other life-shortening treatments all remove dead skin cells from the area faster than would naturally take place, thus hastening the fading of the permanent make-up tattoo.

Unlike a normal tattoo, permanent make-up is applied using pigments rather than inks. The most popular of these is made by Swiss Color, an excellent pigmentation system that facilitates the combination of colours to match or tone in with existing hair colour or skin tone. Modules differ depending on their application, and can be used to create different effects. An eyebrow filler module will have a softer effect than a module used for eye liner, for example.

If you decide that permanent make-up is the solution for you, you need to be aware that the initial effect may appear quite dark and painted on. Once the tattoo has healed, it may appear to fade – sometimes to the extent that you cannot see the colour anymore. The colour usually strengthens again after a few weeks, but salons will schedule a ‘touch-up’ session 5 to 7 weeks after the first procedure to ensure that the colour is correct.

Taking proper care of your permanent make-up is the key to making it last longer. Use the ointment you are provided with as per instructions, don’t wear make-up near or on the tattoo for at least a week, and do not rub vigorously when washing for at least one month after the procedure. Because exposure to the sun will fade the tattoo, you should try to keep the permanent make-up out of the sun as much as possible. Do not pick or scratch the crust or the skin that peels off the lips, let it fall away naurally.

The procedure cannot be performed on broken or blistered skin, and if you scar easily, you should reconsider permanent make-up. An allergy to pigmentation inks will also preclude you from having permanent make-up applied. Does permanent make-up work? More and more people are using this easy alternative to simplify their preparations for work or social events, and it is being applied to help visually or physically impaired people improve their appearance and their well-being.

The most exposed part of your body is your hands, as they are always on show. In summer, with pretty sandals and bare feet the order of the day, your feet are exposed to scrutiny as well. The benefits of a professional manicure and pedicure include much more than just the appearance of your hands and feet.

Most people think of a manicure or pedicure as just having your nails trimmed, shaped and polish applied, but there’s a lot more to these treatments that is extremely beneficial. Most manicures and pedicures include exfoliation, removing dead skin cells and smoothing the skin. A pedicure will also include removal of dead skin and calluses with a pumice, which not only makes the feet look better, but will lessen the pain felt when standing on callused feet for long periods of time.

Special cuticle treatments and moisturizers are used to hydrate the skin, massaged into the forearm and hand or lower leg and foot, as well as nourish the nails and cuticles. Massaging improves blood flow and helps to relieve aches and pains. It is also very relaxing.

Many people may not realise it, but there are many nail diseases that a manicurist will be able to recognise. Some are highly infectious and may preclude the manicurist from giving you any procedures until they are treated. Fungal infections can be cured easily if caught early, but many nail diseases will require a doctor’s attention.

Your manicure will continue with your nails being cleaned, buffed, trimmed and shaped. You can choose the length and shape you prefer. If you are having nail polish applied, you will then choose a colour from the salon’s selection, or you can bring your own. A French manicure always looks fabulous when it is done at the salon. You will get a base coat, two coats of polish and a top coat. Often a treatment, such as cuticle oil, is added after the last coat of polish to help maintain the condition of the nails and cuticles. You should try not to bump or smudge the nails for at least an hour after you have had them done.

Although you may be able to apply nail polish yourself, it is unlikely that you will take the time or trouble to apply all the other treatments and procedures that a professional manicure and pedicure provides. In addition to all the extra pampering, you can expect a professional manicure to last about three weeks, and a pedicure can last up to 5 or 6 weeks. During that time you will be able to proudly bare your hands and feet, comfortable with the super soft condition of the skin and the quality of the treatment.

For special occasions or summer vacations, get a professional manicure or pedicure at a salon. Mobile salon services are a convenient way to get a manicure or pedicure in the comfort of your own home or at the office. A last minute invitation or time constraints are easily dealt with, as the salon will send a technician to your location to give you the same professional treatment you would get at the salon. It also saves you travelling time, and helps to prevent smudges before the nails are properly dried.

If you can afford it, get a manicure and pedicure at a salon for perfect hands and feet on a regular basis. Not only will the results be beautiful, but you will feel relaxed and pampered. Treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure as often as you can.

If you have short nails and struggle to grow them, you may have investigated the various types of false nails available at salons. Because your hands are on show all day, you want long, attractive nails. Natural-looking gel nails may be just what you need. They can give you longer nails, and protect your natural nails long enough for them to grow out.

Made from a pre-mix of polymer and monomer gel, gel nails are applied to the nail and then cured in one of several ways. Light-cured gels are cured under UV lights, no-light gels are cured by brushing or spraying a gel activator onto the gel nail – a quicker process than sitting with your hands under UV lights. Gel nails are quicker to apply than acrylic nails, as there is less filling. The mixture is odourless, making it a more pleasant process for the technician and yourself.

They are thin, clear and flexible, making them look and feel more natural than acrylic nails. Gel nails, unlike acrylic nails, do not lift as easily. They don’t yellow either, which means that you don’t have to polish them to hide the unnatural colour. Gel nails are also glossier than acrylic nails, and you can apply nail polish to them as well. Gel nails also work well with a French Manicure or other nail art designs. In fact, the options with gel nails are limitless.

If your own nails don’t seem to grow, or keep their shape, gel nails can be applied without any fear of damaging your natural nails. You can choose the length you prefer, and have beautiful long nails with little fuss. Gel nails are best applied in a salon, as the application and fixing process is difficult to do on your own.

Although gel nails can be less durable than acrylic nails and may cost a little more, the fact that your own nails do not get damaged means that you can use gel nails as a nail enhancement that you apply until your own nails grow. Acrylic nails damage the natural nail to the extent that you find you have to keep re-applying them because your damaged nails look so bad. The advantage of gel nails is that they do not do this, so you do not have to keep replacing them to hide your nails.

Your hands are constantly exposed to the world, and long, neatly polished and manicured nails make your hands look professional as well as beautiful. It is not easy to grow your own nails, look after them and keep them looking good. Gel nails can help protect your natural nails, allowing them to grow out strong and healthy, while your hands still look elegant and attractive. You can lengthen short nails without waiting months for them to grow – provided they haven’t broken in the meantime- and strengthen weak nails with a protective layer. The biggest advantage of gel nails is that they cause no damage to your nails, and they look natural too.
