Wishing you a happy festive season ...

Before we get into the busiest of the festive season, I'd like to stop and say thank you for your support again this year and wish you a very happy time with friends and family. Hopefully, I'll get to see you over the next few weeks and then I'll be taking a short break after Christmas Day. I'm very happy to introduce you to Brianna who will be working alongside me a few days before Christmas and then covering a couple of weeks after. This means that we have opened up more appointments, even on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Brianna brings with her six years of experience in the beauty industry and has a real passion for advanced skin treatments...

Skin changes in menopause

Recently, Nimue skincare held a masterclass on menopause and the effect that it has on the body and skin. The ladies in the pharmacy and I were really interested, so we thought we'd share some of our new knowledge with you.Estrogen is protective on the skin and maintains hydration, blood flow and epidermal thickness; increases collagen production and regulates skin pigmentation and hair growth. As levels drop during menopause, we can start to see fine lines develop, hyperpigmentation, changes to the thickness of the skin and loss of elasticity. When changes to the skin occur, your skin prescription may also need to alter.

2 ways your manicure just got a little better ...

When you choose Ahuriri Beauty Therapy for your manicure, you will be treated to a nail tidy, shape and cuticle work before finishing off with your choice of nail colour from the OPI range. We recommend the lasting gel nail colour for a finish that resists dullness and chipping, staying flawless and glossy for up to 3 weeks. For a superior finish on damaged nails or those with imperfections, we've added another option to our menu. Structure gel can be applied as a base coat, being a thicker consistency, it reinforces the nail and adds strength to correct ridges and imperfections and gives an even finish. Structure gel can be added to your next gel manicure for only $10.00 or can be booked on its own to hold a broken...

3 hacks to improve the finish from your makeup ...

Do you ever find that you apply your quality makeup but you just aren't happy with the result? How well the product applies often shows the how healthy the skin is looking underneath. We've put together 3 hacks for getting the most from your cosmetics. Makeup tends to stick to dry patches and sit on top of peach fuzz giving it a ‘cakey’ look.

By the time you put lipstick on, your...
