Microdermabrasion

Hey
wishing everyone a Happy New year to start this blog . I have now returned to Dubai and my hectic work life but feeling just a little bit tired from having to go straight from London to Dubai with only a few hours sleep but I'm sure after some much needed beauty sleep I will regain full power.

Before I left for the middle East I treated myself to a Microdermabrasion facial with my friend Gina who has her own salon...http://www.beauty-boutique-chelmsford.co.uk/   Which is a brilliant salon :)

I wasn't sure what to expect but had heard great things about this new procedure. How it works is fine crystals are blown onto your face via a small wand and then sucked back up by the hoover. The idea is that it takes off all dried skin and clears blocked pores leaving your skin looking cleaner and clearer. The idea is that gradually you build up the strength so that the suction becomes stronger.

Here's what the professionals say about this treatment :

Microdermabrasion is a system of intense exfoliation and resurfacing using ultra fine crystals that rejuvenate the skin. The crystals work as a gentle yet effective abrasive on the skin to remove dead skin cells layer by layer. The irregular shape of the crystals help to work on hard to reach areas, without any damage to the skin.

The vacuum action of the machine stimulates circulation and promotes increased blood flow to the area whilst drawing away dead skin cells and used crystals. The production of collagen and elastin is stimulated which results in firmer, more youthful skin.

The treatment gives instant visible results and you will leave the salon with a brighter, smoother, complexion.

I was at first a little anxious about the treatment being uncomfortable and the redness that can be left after but it was absolutely painless... ticklish at times around the hairline but overall well worth the money!! I have only had one treatment as I had to return to the great big sand pit but I will be sure to follow up when I return in the spring with more treatments. It's great on scars also. 

Overall a massive thumbs up 

Beauty bay delivery

ok, so it's not a huge delivery but I was unsure as to how long it would take. Again, you can see that I've gone for hair treatments again. After the trip to the hairdressers at the weekend when I got told that my hair was a little dry and as I'm trying to grow it thought I should try and indulge my hair. I only bought sample sizes as I like to try things out and find out if they get on with my hair and the water in Dubai which is quite different to here. It was due to Vivianna does makeup that I had a look at Beautybay.com . I was really impressed with the range available. After Vivianna saying that the free delivery could be dire, and as I leave on New Years Day I decided to pay the delivery cost and it came within 2days!!I was very impressed with this as its the day before Christmas Eve. Well packaged and quick. I sahll be trying out these little beauts once I return to Dubai :) 

brand new blogger

Hey to anyone who might be reading this. Feels slightly strange to be sitting and writing this and not knowing who might be reading this!! Oh well, thats the life of a blogger I guess. After following quite a few beauty bloggers and seeing their videos onyoutube thought I'd have a go myself. So......me. hmmmm. Well I currently work in Dubai so am fortunate enough to enjoy shopping in both the UK and the UAE. I find some things are better to buy in the UK and others I save for when I'm back in the U.A.E. I did go and do a small shopping trip today to my local town as Topshop is SO expensive in Dubai so I have been saving a topshop voucher card for when I was back and Topshop came up trumps with some goodies for me :) Also after seeing Sototallyvlog / fashionfilth keep buying bathbombs from lush made me have a look and go smell some of their goodies so I purchased 2 bath bombs and a shower gel. You can get lush in the UAE but quite often I just walk past.

Also I have heard lots of amazing things about oils for your hair so I purchased some Moroccan argan oil.  I've already tried some out in my hair and it smells absolutely lushand has made my hair feel so soft and shiny. Definitely pleased with this purchase and it was on offer in Boots which is always a result.

I shall try to upload some pics of my days shopping to share with whoever may be out there. I was also really tempted to purchase a chrismassy candle but resisted as I didn't want to use it whilst stayingat my parents and by the time I return to Dubai Christmas season will be over :( maybe next year I shall purchase one a bit earlier.
