    Comments Off on Advanced Dermapeels at Beauty Haven

    Beauty Haven is proud to be the only salon in Northern Ireland offering advanced dermapeels by mesoestetic.

     

    The peels are designed to correct skin aging, pigment conditions, acne and other blemishes, etc. Visible, immediate, progressive results are obtained in a controlled and safe manner by combining products from a wide range of high quality chemoexfoliation agents.

     

    The main objectives of the peels are to purify and oxygenate the skin, leaving it moisturised and free from impurities, to close open pores, improve the texture of the skin and increase thickness of the epidermis. The peels will address the effects of skin aging, softening wrinkles and adding turgidity. Manifestations of acne will be reduced and the appearance of scar tissue minimised. The peels will also unify skin tone, add luminosity, lighten and attenuate pigmented lesions, providing a depigmenting effect.

     

    The mesopeels are priced at £65 per treatment (retailing in UK between £80 -£150) a course of 4 is recommended for optimum results. The course is priced at £260 and includes a complimentary hydrating facial worth £45.

  5. What eyebrow shape suits you?

    Comments Off on What eyebrow shape suits you?

    Tweezers… friend or foe? Have you over plucked, left gaps in your brows that won’t grow back, I think the truth is at some stage we have all done it!

    Eyebrows are arguably one of the most important features on your face—they frame your eyes and express your personality. Lets have a look at the best brow-shaping techniques for you.

    Long: Its important to balance the length of your face by avoiding arches, try and stick to thick, straight-arched brows.

    Short: Thin brows with higher arches will lengthen the face.

    Round: Keep your brows medium thickness with an arched brow as this will help slim the middle region of the face.A longer brow creates a triangular symmetry between your brows and chin and gives the illusion of a heart shape.

    Oval: To widen an oval face keep the brows shorter, this will give the appearance of larger cheeks.

    Heart shaped: This face shape can hold most brow styles except for straight brows.

    Square: Naturally shaped brows are best to soften an angular face, try to avoid dramatic arches or overly flat brows that can enhance a strong jawline.

    Many end up with angry looking brows ( as worn by Snow White”s wicked queen) because they tweeze too much or overdose on Botox. Allow a few hairs to grow back underneath the brow, the flattened brow shape reduces the distance between the lashes and the arch, creating a friendlier expression.
