Balmessence

Summer Nails

Balmessence has come up with five top tips for great summer nails in line with the launch of this season’s new products: • Keep fingernails dry and clean to prevent bacterial growth beneath the nail. • Moisturise! Moisturising is a well-known must for healthy skin, but it’s often overlooked in nail care. • Leave your cuticles alone! It’s common practice to cut, push back or try to get rid of cuticles altogether, but cuticles are not the enemy. In fact, the cuticle is the nail’s natural protective seal. • Practice good nail hygiene. Use sharp manicure scissors or clippers and trim your nails straight across, then round the tips in a gentle curve. Use a gentle brush to clean under the nails, avoid the urge to dig in with a sharp tool. • Rethink your products. Avoid using nail care products containing harsh chemicals. Natural/organic lacquers are better for your nails because of the quality and the exclusion of many harmful toxins contained in traditional nail polishes. Check out the latest Balmessence nail products: Fedua Ultimate Gel Effect Nail Paint in Candy, Azure, Peach Blossom and Dandelion Yellow; Fedua Golden Jelly Hand Mask; Fedua Macaroon Anti-Ageing Hand Cream; Fedua Rose Cuticle Gel and Fedua Rainbow Cuticle Oil.

As the summer gets into full swing, we look forward to days lounging by the beach and pool. However, one concern that many of us have is our make-up not holding up well when exposed to heat. One solution to lipstick smudging and wearing off is Flormar’s must-have Kiss Me More collection. Gorgeous shades, rich pigments and lasting hold are what this collection is all about. Aptly named Lip Tattoos, you can’t eat, drink or kiss them away. With a smooth and creamy texture, these liquid lipsticks are easy to apply and, unlike other mattes, they do not dry out the lips. The Kiss Me More Lip Tattoo collection is made up of 22 shades including six new natural colours to suit every skin tone.

Uriage

Eau Thermale Water Sleeping Mask

Available at Lifestyle, this mask gives the chance for your skin to dive into a real thermal bath. Uriage Thermal Water’s hydrating power comes in an ultra-light jellified textured night mask which, with the added benefit of eight hours of sleep, leaves the skin texture smoothed, fully moisturised, supple and soft for an ultra-fresh glow. The mask helps to rebuild the cutaneous barrier to maintain an optimal hydration rate; it recreates a surface film to progressively release moisturising agents from the cream and acts on the corneocyte cement to durably boost hydration. Edelweiss extract leaves you with fresh and glowy skin.

Acqua di Parma

Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto di Calabria La Spugnatura

Truly the scent of summer, this is a celebration of the Italian bergamot fields where the precious fruits are collected. The ancient and exclusively artisanal extraction technique of the bergamot used, ‘la spugnatura’, allows for a more delicate collection of all the bergamot’s different nuances and beautiful richness. It’s also the reason this is a limited edition. The softness and natural richness of the bergamot’s essence is intensified and complemented by the tones of mandarin and orange, while grapefruit draws attention to the more bitter side. Galbanum, with its green notes, together with the green and floral notes of geranium, highlights the lesserknown accents of bergamot. The gorgeous bottle is also reusable and will look fab on your grooming station.
