Professional beauty - IIAA

I was really pleased to spend some time with the IIAA team - (International Institute for Anti- Ageing)  and discover a little more about the 3 brands they represent.

Environ


IIAA's Iconic Skincare range still continues to be hugely popular with both professionals and clients, the wait to have your face assessed using the Visa was massive but this doesn't phase the iiaa team they were working through the skin assessments and educating both woman and men about Environ and skin problems and concerns, and of course the "face lift in a bottle" revival masque was flying off the shelf as expected and sold out (again).


There has been a steady rise in wanting to treat the skin from the inside out, daily use of topical creams, lotions and potions are important but sometimes your skin can need a little more, with busy daily lifestyles, its very easy to miss out on essential vitamins and minerals that are important, with that in mind and more research into what the skin requires the Advanced nutrition programme have launched a wide variety of premium supplements to treat a number of skin concerns and increase general health and well being.
I have started Skin Accumax and will be very shortly posting a more detailed post about the background behind Accumax and my results after one month.





And finally I was lucky enough to have Stephanie Bowler from Jane Iredale, give me a mini make -over. I have to say my skin stayed fresh and matt all day! so Jane Iredale you have got me very excited and interested and look forward to trying out more of the range and sharing some great tips and tricks from the professional make up artists at Jane Iredale.


Thank you for looking after me IIAA and I look forward to discovering your 3 ranges.

Remember you can still see iiaa at profession beauty- ExCel in London Docklands.

Professional beauty 2015

With professional beauty just over a week away I was really excited when my pass and show guide arrived, this gave me a sneak peak at some of the brands, showcasing and launching in London next weekend.

Who am i excited about


The iconic French brand are launching 5 new body care products at professional beauty these include: a dry oil, a body balm and a serum, I have always liked Decleor's body range and sometimes as many woman do, I forget about my body and spend more time concentrating on my face! So I'm hoping to get my hands on the dry oil as these are super quick to apply and if they are to the usual Decleor standard they will smell deliciously tempting.


Neo Elegance
The team at Neo Elegance will be showcasing the Bio Swiss skincare line as well as there brilliant beauty devices, my favourite is the facelift pro. the device helps to lift and firm the skin and using the blue LED has helped me keep spots at bay! I am also excited to see the Neo Skin Rejuvenator  which is one of the newest devices in the Neo elegance range.  
Neo Skin Rejuvenator
A revolutionary ALL-IN-ONE device that combines LED, Ultrasonic, Massage and Ion Therapy to uncover beautifully perfected skin. The amalgamation of these therapies combats five leading skin problems in one experience:

Safe enough to use everyday, with no known side effects, a vital beauty must-have that will help you achieve a flawless complexion. you get a chance go and try these devices out and you will be really impressed with the results. - text from Neoelegance.co.uk 



IIAA- Advanced nutrition programe







ANP - will be launching there new Intolerance testing kits, these start with a simple positive or negative intolerance and further tests can then be carried out to pin point exact intolerances. For anyone who has been reading my blog you will know i commenced the Skin Accumax from the Advanced nutrition programme, so it will be great to meet with the team at ANP to learn more about the programme and other supplements available.

The advanced beauty sector is still rising so I'm not surprised to see a dedicated area at professional beauty.

Professional beauty have got some great speakers on the advanced treatments live stage. I'm hoping to listen to Aysha Awwaad- Director of Medico beauty, talk on advancing as a therapist with Cosmedix, And also Dr Neil PJ Walker frcp - Consultant Dermatologist at Oxfords Stratum Clinic, on the Venus Viva Nanofractional radio frequency advance aesthetic treatment. both speakers look really interesting and i will be front row with my note book and pencil at the ready!.

Medico beauty will not only be showcasing Cosmedix, but the professional Luna facial cleanser from Foreo, - I am hoping to get a fusion facial at the show so get ready for me Medico beauty team!

And Finally a beauty show wouldnt be complete without a great manicure, the colour swatches that have got my attention are OPI - Hawaii range they are bright and bold and great to mix and match for the summer, as well as Jessica with their whisper collection which is soft and delicate.

Hand cream up date 


I have been lucky enough to try the gorgeous pomegranate regenerating hand cream, and i am gutted it has run out! you only need a small pea sized amount, it absorb into the hands really quickly and didn't leave my hands greasy, they felt very soft and smooth, this is a great hand cream that does more then just soften the skin, it helps restore moisture and elasticity. i will be ordering my next tube asap!

When i ordering from the Weleda website i spotted this limited edition tin, which i think is a great way to try the brand and also a lovely treat for yourself or someone special. 
see the link below for the lovely limited edition tin !
