I have been wearing Bare Minerals for 2 years now and I have never been so pleased with a foundation. The make-up is 100% natural, it doesn’t clog my pores or make me feel (or look) like I’m wearing a mask. I love the coverage I get without the feeling of wearing anything – my face continues to feel fresh and clean all day, in fact Bare Minerals is so natural and healthy for my skin that I can sleep in it.

I should also mention one of my other best kept beauty secrets – Lycogel Concealer. Lycogel is a breathable camouflage make-up that has a weightless, natural finish. It is waterproof, which makes it perfect for my beach and skiing holidays, it’s also ‘transfer resistant’ which means it doesn’t rub off on my clothes – ever! Lycogel is the best concealer I’ve ever used; it’s perfect for hiding my dark under eye circles and the ‘occasional’ spot.

"Just back from a week in the Alps.   Gosh I had forgotten how the high altitude climate dries the facial skin…I came back with eyebrow dandruff! And even though we did not see much sun, I can see an increase in my facial pigment and open pores. So I have booked myself in for IPL skin rejuvenation and some hydrating fire and ice facials…watch this space, I will post before and after photos on my next blog in March. 

No sleepy start to 2012 for us!  The year  has started  as we mean to go on, and that's BUSY!  

The media are reporting on adverse events with breast implants, which always brings focus on all cosmetic procedures, surgical or not.  Any press is good press as it gives us an opportunity to educate and advise our patients to the best treatment for them.   We pride ourselves in investing in time to further educate within the aesthetic nursing field.

My first professional meeting was held by the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses, (BACN) with a tough subject of managing complications.   Now you,  the patient, can be assured of the most up to date knowledge within the MBNS nurse team in prevention of such,  and in the event of any concern, the best of care at all times.  

I was honoured to be presenting at this meeting alongside the highest calibre of well respected aesthetic doctors, nurses, and university lecturers!   This was my first public speaking event, so on every level it was a challenge.  I had a great response from the one hundred and ten  professional audience with plenty of in depth sharing throughout the day.

The nursing specialist team at  MBNS  know we can offer you, our patient, the best of treatment options in the safest of environments with the highest educated nurses, keeping your safety at the forefront of everything we do! 

She even offered the presenter a discounted 'vial' after the show!

Unfortunately, as result of my poor skin health in my early twenties, I am now suffering with sun damaged skin, with uneven pigmentation and broken blood vessels. After talking with the nurses at MBNS, I was introduced to a technologically advanced light treatment called skin rejuvenation. Straight after treatment the pigmentation had gone darker, and within 2 weeks, the pigmentation literally peeled away leaving clear skin. I have now had 2 treatments and all my patients have noticed how fresh and clear my skin looks. I can't wait for my next treatment, when I can finally give the boot to sun damage!

After having treatment at MBNS last summer for excessive under arm sweating, I had totally forgotten how upsetting having sweat patches on my clothes can be.   Last week, after seven months of sweat free pits, the sweats had returned and my shirts were really wet. I suddenly found myself restricting my arm movements just so no one would notice. It made me feel really anxious!

I made an appointment straight away with the nurses at MBNS and after a few simple injections to my underarms I was treated. Within 24 hrs the sweating to my underarms reduced dramatically and now I don't have any, so I am free to move as I like and wear whatever I like. I love this treatment. It has been literally life changing!

In February, Marea, Paula and me, Stephanie, are doing a paediatric resuscititation course to fulfill one of the requirements for us to go to a developing country to help with Operation Smile. This is a charity that is dear to our hearts and involves a volunteer medical team operating on children that suffer with hare lips. By closing them over, the children have a more acceptable appearance for them to fit in with their community.  Operation Smile is such a great name as the children really do have the most amazing smiles on their faces after their operations. 

I'll let you all know how we get on!'

MBNS have been offering this brand new treatment since March of this year and we have had amazing treatment results. The rapid speed at which the face turns over a brand new, baby like skin, has amazed us! eMatrix has truly outshone any chemical peel we have tried in the past plus it goes much deeper into the skin.  e Matrix works by delivering radio frequency energy into the skin.  That means is blasts apart the collagen underneath the skin, caiusing it to repair and heal which in turn promotes new collagen growth thus smoothing out irregularities on the skin – perfect for acne scarring and stretch marks!

In fact, I have been so impressed with the results that I decided to have my scars and stretch marks treated. A few quick zaps with the eMatrix tip, which is the size of a two pence coin, and I was done. The treatment was relatively painless and the results are absolutely worth every penny. My scars have transformed from a deep purple to white in a few weeks. The after care from my treatment was so simple that I hardly had to alter my daily routine; a few drops of iS Clinical's  Pro-Heal serum followed with some Hydra-Cool serum was all I needed to heal and hydrate the treated skin. I also found using both products as my nurse recommended, rapidly aided in my skins speedy recovery process.
