GUEST WRITER DR PAM SPURR'S FIVE BEAUTY TIPS.

Self-help expert Dr Pam Spurr’s Five Top Beauty Tips –

Let’s face it, what’s most important is what’s on the inside. But it lifts your mood when you look after yourself on the outside too!
Here are my five top beauty tips:


1/ Always carry your eye cream in your bag. I apply mine multiple times per day - especially being a ‘smiley’ person it helps keep that delicate area moisturised.







2/ Exfoliate once a week – I alternate between an exfoliator with granules and an exfoliating mask. It can overstimulate your skin if you exfoliate more frequently than this. But leave it too long and your skin will lack lustre with the build-up of dead cells.

3/ Always use sunblock, even on a cloudy day! (I wish I’d started this sooner!) The sun’s rays can penetrate cloud cover and damages your skin.

4/ Change-up your face products every few months. I absolutely believe that just as with shampoo, your skin gets ‘used’ to having the same products applied. Good to shake things up and try a new range.





5/ After damage to the back of my hands from a serious skin infection (after being bitten by spiders) I found that mesotherapy treatment on them from Dr Iryna has helped smooth out the damaged tissue. The great thing about this treatment is it can be applied to all sorts of areas like your décolletage and facial skin.

DOCTOR GABRIELA 'S MAGICAL BEAUTY PRODUCTS.


Could it be Magic ?
By Steven Smith


Christina Estrada and Doctor Gabriela



Late last year my friend Rhea Elliot Jones invited me to the glittering opening of Doctor Gabriela’s new aesthetic clinic at 56 Harley Street.

Rhea Elliot Jones and Doctor Gabriela




Dr Gabriella is a favourite among the society, celebrity and showbiz crowds, and prides herself on her eclectic clientele. She can even lay claim to having royalty among her clients. Whether royalty or a commoner, everyone is catered for with the utmost confidentiality, enjoying treatments that are specially tailored to each individual case, but still affordable.

Originally from Poland, she is a leading light in the anti-ageing medicine field and is responsible for introducing some of the most innovative non-invasive treatments into the UK. These include the GloToxT injectable facelift and MoonlightDustTM, the molecular water facial. She is also a member of the select group of master injectors. 

Among the clients and friends at the glitzy opening night was former model Christina Estrada and Raef BJayou, a former candidate on The Apprentice. They mixed with Hollywood agents and even a prince.

One of the highlights of the night was being serenaded by the operatic tenor Andrew Amdur and his brother Maurice, clairvoyant to the stars, was on hand to give readings too.




Everyone was eager to try Dr Gabriela’s skin care range, which looked very impressive. When she heard I was a former celebrity hairdresser, she was keen for me to sample the men’s hair products, as well as the skin care range.

2. Anti-hair loss Serum - Moonlight Dust 
3. Beauty Facelift Serum - cosmetic line for men

Although I am in my fifties, I am lucky not to be follically challenged. But at this time of year, like many other people, my hair starts to fade and shed so I was happy to try it out.

After washing my hair and using my usual conditioner, I applied the Magic Rain, followed by the Anti-hair loss serum, which I gently massaged in. I was concerned at first as my hair, which has some highlights in it, felt a little dry. However, once I started to dry my hair it looked very shiny and full and kept its style longer.   

As I used the products over the next few weeks my hair seemed to grow faster. My friends noticed and one asked if I was taking anything for it. Using the combination certainly kept the style in place and my hair felt thicker. 

Of course, being a man who's always out and about, I loved the Beauty Facelift Serum – a few drops and I was ready to go.

 It’s the perfect present for the man in your life – or for yourself! I wish Dr Gabriela the very best of luck with her clinic and can’t wait to try more of her skin care range.

I KISSED AN APPRENTICE AND I LIKED IT.


I KISSED AN APPRENTICE  AND I LIKED IT.



https://www.elite-aesthetics.co.uk Gorgeous Selina Waterman Smith with Doctor Shirin Lakhani








LOVE HER OR HATE HER, there can be no other contestant in the history of The Apprentice who has sparked more controversy than the stunning 32-year-old Selina Waterman-Smith.
The petite, curvy blonde refused to do the spin-off show, You’re fired! after leaving The Apprentice, accusing the producers of the hit BBC series of portraying her unfairly.  
Adopting the attitude “Don’t get mad, get even,” she instead opted to give her own version of events in an online video for her growing social media fanbase. 
 Since then, the Dubai-based businesswoman has become a tabloid darling, with The Mail n Online scrambling to snap her curves on exotic beaches around the world. With regular appearances on shows such as Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, her outspoken views are in big demand – there’s even a rumour of an appearance in the Jungle later this year.


Selina on last years The  Apprentice 







When I meet the five foot one inch reality star on a sunny day in London, she’s about to undergo two cosmetic procedures at the hands of celebrity doctor Shirin Lakhani. Rather than the podium dancing hell-raiser portrayed in the media, she has a gentle charm and seems a little nervous.
Is this her first aesthetic procedure, I ask. “No, though my breasts are my own,” she says, clasping her ample chest. But she’s nervous because the one time she did have work done – her lips – it ended in disaster. “I should always go with my gut feeling. If I did, I wouldn’t get into so much trouble,” she laughs.
She decided to have her lips enhanced in Dubai two years ago. "They weren’t bad but I just wanted to add a little more to them and even them out.”


Selina Gives the thumbs down to her old lips.

Right away she felt the doctor was not on the same page her. After several painful injections with what looked like overly-large needles, her lips were left swollen and bruised. They turned purple in colour but the doctor assured her it was all fine and the swelling would go down.
But after two weeks of healing, her lips looked awful. Far from being evened out, they looked far worse and were lumpy to touch.
“What do you do?” she shrugs. They are still not right but, as she’s fond of saying, “Don’t get mad, get even.”
Understandably, Selina is nervous of letting anyone near her lips again, fearing further complications. But a friend recommended DrShirin and Selina is hoping the problem can finally be sorted.
Dr Lakhani took one look and knew immediately what had gone wrong - the filler had been distributed unevenly, causing the lumps and uneven look. 
To rectify the problem, she could dissolve the old filler and then inject new filler, distributing it evenly this time. But Selina would have to wait two weeks for the new filler. Or she could fill the lips to even them out, as Selina was by now used to the few lumps inside her mouth.

Doctor Lakhani   







Selina opted for the top-up filler but, recalling her last experience, was worried about the pain. Dr Lakhani assured her that the filler she would use, TEOSYAL PEN, would give a much more comfortable experience. "I am a huge fan of the pen," Dr Lakhani tells me. “It’s much less painful for my clients.” 


http://www.teosyalpen.com



The filler, RHA2, is also by Teosayl, which is based in Switzerland. It’s a soft filler that leaves the lips hydrated and natural looking. Selina could not get over how quickly her lips were done. 
During the treatment she was aware of the pen, and found it somewhat uncomfortable in places. But she found the procedure   reasonably pain free. “I almost hit the roof last time,” she tells me.
But the best ting of all was how amazing her lips looked – and without any recovery time! “They’re soft and moist-looking, you’d think I’ve got a gorgeous lip gloss on.”


Dr Lakhani is equally pleased with the result. “Much as the previous work on Selina’s lips had not been good, she does naturally have a slight unevenness to her mouth. But using the filler I was able to correct that and certainly by the second visit it should be perfect. Depending on lifestyle, it should last six months to a year.”

Selina also had a Botulinum Toxin, Azzalure, injected into her forehead. Dr Lakhani tells me that as Selina has very few lines, she was just freshening up her forehead area with a few injections. “The Azzalure seems to give quicker results in my clients. It spreads more evenly and lasts longer than most botox treatments.”
Later, as she models for a photo assignment, Selina looks wonderfully refreshed and ready to take on anyone in the boardroom. “I couldn’t be happier,” she says. “I’ll definitely be flying over to see Dr Lakhani again,” she tells me.

Wendy Turner Webster’s Top 5 Beauty Tips


Wendy  Turner presents Crafty Beggars In The House! together with Julie Peasgood and they also work together on their Ready, Steady, Craft show on Create and Craft USA. 
In the UK you can catch Crafty Beggars on Community Channel – available on Sky, Virgin, Freeview etc. In fact ALL available television platforms!http://www.craftybeggars.tv



http://www.craftybeggars.tv





1   1  If you wear make-up every day wash your brushes once a week using shampoo and conditioner. Cloggy brushes can result in your make up looking cloggy and dull.


http://www.loustevens.com/the-importance-of-cleaning-your-makeup-brushes/











2   2 Another tip for those who wear make up on a daily basis… at least once a week don’t put on any night cream products. It will be one of the few chances your skin actually gets to breathe.











  3 Prone to spots and blemishes? Of have you got teenagers with skin problems? Make sure you change the pillow cases every other night to help keep the skin clean.

   4 When you moisturise, don’t forget your neck! Amazing how easy it is just to concentrate on your face and not go below the jawline – but it’s your neck that will age first if left to its own devices!








5  5 If you’ve got unruly hair like mine and you’re on the go a lot it’s worth spending a few quid on a travel size hairdryer. My hair kinks and curls in all the wrong directions (especially in humid or rainy weather) and my teeny tiny hairdryer and barrel brush have often been invaluable. Of course a power socket is handy (OK, essential). Why can’t someone invent a hairdryer that runs on batteries?.
