1. The Little Black Dress Treatment

   November 30, 2011 2:14 pm 16 Comments

   With the party season well and truly upon us now, we are all concerned about fitting into that little black dress for our Christmas night out. Everyone has those areas where they would like to slim and trim.

   No matter how many times we say we are going to be good and go to the gym and eat a healthier diet sometimes we just run out of time to achieve our goal. Maybe you just keep putting it off for another week and before you know it there’s no time left and a quick fix becomes the only solution.

   If this is the case then the Harley Body Wrap is the answer to your problem. Body wraps are not a weight loss process and never will be. With the Aloe Vera and the warmth of the bandages, we are opening the skins pores to enable us to penetrate the skins layers. This is to get to the connective tissues that hold fat cells that have become saturated with water, impurities and toxins. The Aloe Vera and additional ingredients help break down and cleanse the body of these toxins, by flushing them through our natural waste system.

   With the removal of toxins, it is now possible for the body’s natural elastin to hold the new sculptured shape that has been made possible with the wrapping process, therefore making that little black dress look like it was made especially for you! The benefits of your Harley Body Wrap treatment can be maximised by having a course of treatments at Beauty Haven Belfast and by also following the home care advice provided by your therapist.

   It’s now that time of year again when we all have to start thinking about what to get friends and family for Christmas. Women tend to by easier to buy for than men, so this is where Beauty Haven Belfast can come to the rescue.

   The popularity of male grooming has increased over recent years, with more facial products being made available to them but also the stigma of actually having a treatment being greatly reduced.

   If the man in your life hasn’t ventured into the realms of beauty treatments before then one of the easiest ways to treat him is to buy a gift voucher for a treatment such as a Back and Tension massage or even a Hot Stone Back Massage. This will allow him to relax and enjoy the treatment without feeling uncomfortable or the need to talk.

   If he definately, under no circumstances will ever set foot inside a salon, then why not buy him some of the Dermalogica Shave range. Men will often tend to suffer from skin sensitivity and irritation just as much as women. No matter how often a razor is placed to the skin, shaving is a bit of a hazard. It can cause irritation, sensitivity, redness, razor burn, ingrown hairs and bumps often due to ingredients that either over-dry and strip skin of moisture or clog follicles with heavy formulas. The Dermalogica Shave range has been designed to deliver maximum comfort, a super close shave and an enhanced skin condition through ingredients that benefit skin health. Skin will look and feel better and each subsequent shave is enhanced.

   Dermalogica Shave kits can be purchased from Beauty Haven Belfast, along with gift vouchers and gift packages. So if your not sure what to get the man in your life call in to see us and we will do our best to help you.
