Invest in the professionals

When you are considering a beauty treatment, you will want to spend your money to achieve the best outcome.

For instance, if you are considering Botox, it is wise to invest in the best people in the industry to ensure safe and aesthetic results. It is worthwhile saving for a while longer to seek the best beauty treatments and you will guarantee to be more satisfied with the results. After all, you could put your beauty and health at risk if you seek unprofessional beauty treatments. So, do your research and save to invest in the best people.

Choose a hygienic clinic

Another way to get the best results from your treatments is to choose a hygienic clinic.

When you were getting a beauty treatment, it is important to put your health first. Therefore, ensuring that the clinic is as hygienic as possible will guarantee that when your procedure is going on, you will be safe from health hazards. You can check a clinic's hygiene rating online or ask to see their certifications.

Choose a clinic with great reviews

Furthermore, it is a great idea to choose a clinic that has excellent reviews. You can check clinic reviews online, like you can with the hygiene of the clinic, as well as see reviews on their social media.

It can be a good idea to check a clinic's tagged pictures on social media to see the results of other patients as well as what they have to say about the treatments. You can get honest reviews by looking into a company's social media tagged images and opinions.

Understand the post-treatment procedures

It is important to understand the post-treatment procedures which you can attain from the clinician.

For instance, if you are getting your eyelashes permed, then you will want to know that you cannot use oil-based cleansers or get water on your eyelashes after the treatment has finished. If you do not follow the procedures, then your lash perm may be hindered and the results will not be as good as you hoped for.

Know how to care for yourself properly after the treatment

Furthermore, you might require specific care after you have had a beauty treatment.

For instance, if you get Botox, you may need some downtime and rest and recover from the injections. Most treatments like this require minimal downtime. However, some treatments are a bit more invasive. Therefore, it is a good idea to know how to care for yourself after the treatment so you can remain as healthy and well as possible. Ask the clinician and they will give you a thorough brief to maximize and maintain your health and comfort post-treatment.

Understand if you are actually suitable for the treatment

You might consider yourself to be suitable for all beauty treatments. However, there are a select few treatments where you need to meet certain requirements in order to be safe and fit for the treatment.

For instance, it is not safe to get laser hair removal when you are pregnant. Knowing this before you book and go in for the treatment will ensure that you can keep yourself as safe and healthy as possible.

If there is pain involved, asked for something to numb you

If you experience pain throughout a beauty treatment, it might put you off from having it or finishing it. This will hinder the beauty treatment results.

Before you can, ask the clinician to numb the desired area before the treatment begins so that you can remain as pain-free and comfortable as possible. This will guarantee that you can relax during your treatment and the clinician can work their magic to provide you with the best results.

Ensuring to take these tips on board will help you achieve the best results from your beauty treatments in the future. Simply investing your money and time into the best professionals and checking up on the clinics, hygiene, and final result reviews will guarantee that you can feel happy and confident about any beauty treatment that you have.

Primark Beauty Studio with Rawr Beauty

Primark on Oxford Street in London's West End is one of those stores that has everything - it has a cafe, a huge home ware section, a section for men, women, children and then of course a beauty studio and nestled within that is a place you can take a break from your shopping spree to have some 'me time'.

In collaboration with Rawr Beauty, the beauty studio is located on the ground floor of Primark and despite being in the midst of the gift section, the winter coats and accessories and the beauty hall, it is amazing just how quiet it is as you wait for your treatment.  Treatments that are on offer include a manicure with gel polish, normal polish or even extensions, added to that you can have eyebrow threading, waxing, a blow dry, brow reshape and tint, a facial and a selection of pedicures.  I was treated to a deluxe pedicure just a few days ago and it was an amazing experience and not at all like I was expecting.

If you are in Primark and you do fancy a treatment, you can book in advance or you can wait for a walk-in appointment, both are offered and are really easy to book.  I was shown to my pedicure station and was able to sit and soak my feet for a few minutes whilst choosing a nail polish shade for my toes - always a stressful choice when presented with so many beautiful shades. Whilst soaking my feet, I was asked whether I had an allergies, any issues with my feet, toes or any concerns that I had - quite impressive when so many places I have visited don't ask.

The Deluxe Pedicure, which costs just £30 includes file and shaping of your nails as well as cuticle care and with it a foot scrub to remove any dead or dry skin, application of foot cream and with it a massage plus the application of polish. If you want a gel polish, that is also an option.  I chose shade 75, a deep sparkly midnight blue shade which has a slight iridescent hue when caught in bright sunlight and it is absolutely stunning.  With my feet, I have small toes and I do suffer with hard, dry skin, so I was able to talk about that and my ankle injury as well as Plantar Fasciitis which I also suffer with.  When the injury flares up, my feet become incredibly painful to the touch and walking is often a struggle, particularly on my left foot where I have the injury.  So, all of this was taken into account throughout the treatment and not once did I have to ask for a break.

Throughout my whole treatment, it being half term too, Primark was obviously busy and bustling, but sitting in my comfy chair, not paying too much attention to the fact someone was touching my feet (we all know how much I dislike but like it) to make them look less like trotters and more like something presentable, I was loving being able to people watch. My beautician and I laughing at the stressed and harassed looking husband and partners being dragged round the store, kids fuming that they are not at home on their Playstations but instead are  being made to try on coats and hats, was all very amusing, but it was also really quiet. I was surprised at just how little noise there was, having expected not to be able to enjoy a natter as I had my treatment, but I was able to do just that and it was a really relaxing experience and if I am honest, one of the best and most comfortable pedicures I have ever had.

I would happily go back for further treatments with Rawr Beauty, I was made to feel really welcome, my treatment was as relaxing, the end finish I am just delighted with and it was lovely to be able to switch my over-working brain off for an hour to think of nothing other than myself and what treatment I would like next!  If you are in Primark and see you a Rawr Beauty Studio, book yourself in for a treat - absolutely worth it!

Lash Perfect Lash Lift

Last week I was given the opportunity to try the Lash Perfect Lash Lift, a treatment I have never had but have heard about and seen the effects off. Keen to give it a try, a testing kit was dispatched so that I could check to any reaction to the products used prior to the treatment. With no irritation or reaction, I went off to The Lash Bar in SoHo. Whenever I go somewhere new for a treatment, I am sometimes a little nervous of the unknown, but upon stepping inside, not only did the Lash Perfect Lash Bar smell incredible, everyone working there was just so lovely, chatty and within minutes I was made to feel like a long lost friend. Set up over two floors and with 6 treatment areas, you can have a choice of treatments for both your lashes and your brows.

I was present for the Lash Perfect Lash Lift which is described as being a natural lash enhancement that will give the appearance of thicker, longer lashes that can last up to 8 weeks. I have fairly long lashes but there isn't much of a curl to them and whilst I do sometimes have my false lashes, I have always dreamed of having fanned fluttery lashes which didn't involve eyelash glue!

Making myself comfortable on the treatment table, I was taken through the routine of what is to happen, the products that will be used and ultimately how long the treatment would take. So with all eye makeup removed, firstly my lower lashes are covered with an eye mask, incredibly soothing and almost had be fast asleep. Then my lashes were combed, quite a strange feeling to have someone sitting over you to comb your lashes, but the reason this is done is to ensure that there is as much separation of the lashes as possible. Over time, we all have eyelashes which become crossed over and to give your lash lift the best possible result, combing them is a really effective part of the treatment. The lashes are lifted onto a silicone bar which is placed onto the eyelid and once my lashes had been combed in to place, a lifting cream was applied and it is left on for around 13 minutes. Once that time is up, the lifting cream is removed and the setting cream is then added, again following the first process, it is left for 13 minutes. At no point is the treatment uncomfortable and nor does it hurt. The only thing you cannot do is open your eyes or blink for around an hour, the only challenge is not falling asleep because I was so relaxed.

Once all of the cream has been removed for that final time and then my eyelashes given a brush through a few more times, this helps ensure the cream has worked and that there is none left clinging to any lash, I was given the mirror to look at the effect and I was immediately wowed. I could see that they had lifted from the root and now instead of my lashes clashing when I blinked, they don't. Instead, my lashes have the effect I always try to created with eyelash curlers, for which I have tried both manual and heated versions and without much success.  Now my eyes look open, I look more alert and wide awake and it is such a great treatment.

The lifting effect naturally enhances the natural thickness of the lashes giving a more defined overall appearance. This treatment is ideal for anyone with straight natural lashes or those looking for a natural curl without the need for extensions and all in just one hour - perfect for a lunchtime treat!
