It’s one week on from my 2nd CO2 laser treatment!

On the day I had the procedure done and the two days following my skin was pretty sore and swollen and I thought it would take weeks to look anywhere near normal again!

On day four my skin had calmed down massively,  although it was still red and very dry (similar to a post skin peel).

Today, seven days on I can’t believe that it is pretty much back to normal (considering how it first looked). Now I only have slight dryness,  and the results are looking brilliant!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering having this done!

When people compliment me on the way I look I am not embarrassed to talk about the treatments I’ve had.

I’ve had botox, lip plumping, Sculptra, laser treatments. To me it’s about looking your best, and I tell my clients there’s nothing wrong with that.

My skin however, I’ve always been a bit obsessive – the roots are in my spotty youth which really never went away. If I’d been born with plump, flawless skin – yes I’d have been very lucky.  The most youthful asset any woman can have is a peaches and cream complexion.

My philosophy to ageing is yes I’m older but I want to look fresh – if I look tired – I feel tired!

Don’t you feel the same!

So back to the skin – How did I improve it?  Well systematically and externally.

That means a great new antibiotic combination from the states and yes exfoliation, exfoliation and exfoliation!

How do we exfoliate?

1. Good skin care based on alpha hydroxyl acids, antioxidants and our own secret chemistry ‘Skinscription’
2. Regular peels – all naturally based with minimal downtime
3. IPL facial – a great solution for pigmentation, sun damage, red veins and collagen stimulus
4. CO2 laser – yes after this my skin transformed Yes, healing did take a couple of weeks but I’ve never looked back.  The CO2 procedure made me fearless of any cosmetic procedure – but as I always say, no pain –no gain

Ok we all look in the mirror and know what bothers us, but is it possible to enhance what we’ve got simply without big costs and instantly? Well here are my top tips for all you at home.

1. The eyes have it
Lashes that are instant, easy and yes if need be you can do it yourself. Add instant glamour by simply adding a few extensions to the outer corners of the eye, producing a lifting appearance to the outer lids…

2. Brows
Take a look in the mirror, as we age what happens is the hair thins and lightens. So how did we forget those brows.
You can dye and even tattoo them back but for instant and simple solution simply use a soft kohl pencil and colour them in, even if you’re a blond. Go on try one and what do you think?

3.Lips….thinner lips, loss of definition and lip line yearn for Restylane

…well an instant trick I learnt from my makeup artist friend Wendy was apply a small amount of illuminator along the outer body of the lip apply a soft lip line and then a clear gloss instant definition volume and youth .

4. Skin
Need a polyfiller for those imperfections…yes simple use a light reflecting primer under any foundation to smooth soften and perfect any imperfection

5. Hair….lack of lustre, drab, need an instant lift? Then use Moroccanoil.com Yes a small application all over and at the roots gives instant smoothness, shine and defrizz all in one

Follow the 5 steps above and let me see your results….guaranteed results

Just like going to the gym. Of course facial exercises via facial expression can age you.  But ladies and gents don’t worry – faces were created to move!

As a practitioner who believes –‘so natural, everybody notices – but nobody knows ‘(although I tell everyone about my procedures!) I believe that faces should move.

So thank god for a little bit of Botox, Restylane and laser resurfacing.

That’s why our Wrinkle Free Wednesdays are so popular.
