Ro’s Beauty Spot News June 2014

Posted on by Megan

Good afternoon Beauty Spotters

And a warm winter welcome to you. I trust you are having a good week, mine has been great so far. I’m enjoying the good warm weather…a little nervous for the end of the week when I believe it’s going to get chilly. So make sure your electric blankets are on your beds and that you have warm socks ready for the weekend.

To all the mothers out there I hope you had a wonderful mother’s day? To all the fathers I wish you a happy father’s day.

I’ve had a few queries regarding dry feet and cracked heels so this newsletter will be about “them feet”…and how to help with the dryness and cracked heels this winter.

Lack of moisture is one of the most common causes behind dry, cracked heels. Other causes are standing for long hours, use of harsh soaps, dehydration, cold chilly winter weather, continuous exposure to water, weight gain or being overweight, wearing incorrect shoes (heels, poor quality shoes, sizing of shoes), psoriasis, thyroid disease, diabetes and so on. Some of the signs and symptoms of cracked feet are red or flaky patches, peeling skin, itchiness, bleeding from the cracks, pain and so on.

So how do we treat this:

  • Before going to bed, take half a bucket of warm water and add some liquid soap in it. You can also add lemon or peppermint drops to the water. Now soak your feet in this warm soapy water for up to twenty minutes. Once soft, foot file gently to remove some of the dead skin. This is a process treatment, so a little every day. Do not remove too much skin, otherwise the feet and heels will become irritated. Rinse feet after and pat dry.
  • Once dry, apply a good amount of heel balm or body butter to the area. Annique ResQue cream will also work wonders.
  • Then apply a few drops of Tissue oil, or baby oil to the area and allow to absorb
  • Cover the feet with soft cotton socks for a min of an hour. If you can sleep with them on, even better!
  • In the morning reapply cream and wait a few min before walking around too much to allow maximum absorption.
  • Repeat every day until heels and feet are soft and smooth

 

Some home remedies for heel balm:

  • Shea butter mixed with baby oil or tissue oil
  • Glycerine mixed a little rose water
  • Mashed banana and honey makes for a great heel mask. Apply and cover in cling wrap for 10-15min 3x a week
  • Vaseline and lemon juice. But please apply a cream on before to offer maximum hydration

 

Paraffin wax treatments are also great as they offer large amounts of hydration and moisture to the skin. I offer these on their own for R50, and can be done weekly. Also the paraffin wax treatment is included in every pedicure R160

Ro’s Beauty Spot Annique March 2014 Specials

Posted on by Megan

Hey beauty spotters

I trust February was truly a month for Love! It was an exceptional month for Annique Sales in the Salon, so thank you for all those that supported me, and tried something new -I hope you are happy with the fantastic quality and effects of Annique.

I’m super excited to announce that the Normal Annual Price increase for Annique Products will ONLY take effect FROM 1 June 2014…and Not the normal 1 April 2014. This is super fantastic news, but please be warned that come 1 June 2014, most products will increase on average 8%.

As soon as I have received the new price list I will let everyone know.

In the meantime we can still enjoy the great quality of the product at the best price possible.

So as the year unfolds the specials continue to follow up suit….March will be a great time to stock up on Night creams and some treatment products.

The night creams from the Lucid and Hydrafine ranges come with the Masque of that Range for Free.

It’s always important to remember the difference between Day and Night creams: the biggest difference is that a day cream allows for more hydration to the skin (so the drinking water effect) whereas a night cream feeds and restores the skin, similar to us sleeping-we need the sleep to recover from the day.

Night creams are generally a lot more shiny and have more of an oily feel to them, this offers our skin a protection barrier to keep moisture in and allow slip while we sleeping-we don’t want our skins sticking to the pillow case.

Now with the masques for free this March it’s a great introduction to a treatment product that helps minimize aging, offers more anti-oxidants to the skin, refines pores and helps create an even skin tone. Masquing is often a more enjoyable treatment then exfoliating and is better for the skin in a lot of ways(instant product absorption if you choose to apply a treatment under, less stretching and pulling of the skin so minimizes aging)

A great time apply your masque is in the shower or bath…while your conditioner is on your hair and your washing. It offer a good 5 min of treatment and no fuss in washing off.
