Holiday Skincare Essentials You Can’t Forget This Summer

The 5 Holiday Skincare Essentials You Need in Your Suitcase

Whether it’s a city break, or lounging by the pool for a week; your usual makeup routine might not be ideal in the glorious sunshine this summer, so getting your skin in tip top shape is a must.  Check out our expert tips below for the skincare products you need to pack this summer:

1-It begins with the skin


No matter what your destination, clear and glowing skin is the one when going fresh-faced on holiday.  ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Cleanser is the ideal choice for normal to oily skin, gently removing dirt and surface oil whilst unclogging pores with exfoliation.  This calming and soothing face wash is perfect for summer skin, and also features vitamin E for added antioxidants and repair.

2-Stay sun safe

Sunscreen is essential, no matter what your skin tone.  Not only does it protect your skin from sunburn, but it can help to prevent sun damage and signs of premature skin ageing.  For the ultimate sun protection with a little extra, try Heliocare’s 360 Colour Gel SPF50+ 50ml which contains patented Fernblock+ for intense antioxidant activity and comes in a variety of shades to give you a light tint for a flattering glow when you’re rocking the bare-faced look.

3-Protect your peepers

Holidays usually mean longer nights than usual so you want to make you stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!  Formulated to rejuvenate the delicate eye area, our Cavendish Clinic experts recommend that you don’t leave home without Dr. Levy Eye Booster Concentrate 15ml.  This targeted treatment features Dr. Levy’s patented ArganCellActiv Complex – Argan CDV, alongside malu domestica (to activate the epidermal stem cells), retinol, hyaluronic acid and a multitude of peptides, fatty acids and vitamins – to quickly combat crepey-ness, diminish dark circles and practically eliminate fine lines.

4-Calm and soothe

Calm sensitive skin with SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Hydrating + Calming Mask. This intensive calming and hydrating botanical face mask with hyaluronic acid is clinically proven to soothe and replenish reactive skin. Its gentle formula cools on contact to comfort skin sensitivity and restore the complexion’s natural radiance and smoothness. This cooling mask can even help reduce redness and skin discomfort.

5-Poolside spritz

Provided in a handy travel-size, Fenty Beauty’s What it Dew hydrating mist is an all-round skin saver and can be used under makeup as a prep for foundation, over makeup to refresh skin throughout the day, or on the plane where the air can be drying for the skin.  Suitable for all skin types and leaving a dewy glow, this lightweight formula is made with a blend of herbal extracts including borage and cornflower, known for their hydrating properties.

It’s not too late to get summer ready with CoolSculpting


It’s not too late to get summer ready with CoolSculpting


Now that the weather is finally heating up, many of us are thinking forward to those much needed summer holidays and spending more time outdoors.  The warmer season may also mean wearing less of those layers, so we want to look and feel our best more than ever.  CoolSculpting is an ideal option for those who are looking to achieve permanent fat reduction going into summer.

What is CoolSculpting and how does it work?

Also known as cryolipolysis, CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved, non-invasive procedure for removing stubborn fat from your body, safely and effectively.  CoolSculpting can treat all the way from the double chin area, down to the calves.  If you can squeeze it, we can freeze it!

Following a thorough consultation to create a bespoke body sculpting treatment plan, your expert CoolSculpting Practitioner at Cavendish Clinic will apply specially designed cold gel applicators to the areas you wish to treat.  Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than other cells, meaning that it is possible to destroy them without affecting the surrounding areas. Essentially, the fat cells get broken down and are removed by the body. While you may begin to see a difference from three to six weeks after your treatment, it can take up to 12 weeks to see the full results- and the good news is, the fat cells are permanently destroyed.

The great thing about CoolSculpting is that as a non-surgical fat reduction treatment, there are no incisions and no down time required, so you can go back to your usual activities and wear your favourite summer outfit without worrying about covering up unsightly scars or bruising.

Why should I start my CoolSculpting treatments now?

CoolSculpting is a progressive treatment, so you may see continued improvement for around four months.  Depending on the area being treated, you may require more than one appointment.  Starting your treatments now means that you may have time for a couple of sessions before your holiday, and because there is no down time, you can continue to maintain your health goals by exercising and eating well to make the most of your CoolSculpting results.

Why is Cavendish Clinic the best place for CoolSculpting treatments?

At Cavendish Clinic, our Aesthetic Practitioners are highly experienced in carrying out body sculpting treatments, in our London and nationwide clinics.  We also offer dual sculpting, using two CoolSculpting machines simultaneously during one session to reduce your treatment time.  Fat freezing results in half the time!

Why is the Best-Selling HydraFacial So Loved by Celebrities?

We all want clear, smooth and younger-looking skin and that ‘Hollywood glow’, but many effective facial treatments can involve downtime for the skin to heal, redness, skin peeling or flaking and time for results to show.  Did you know that every year the HydraFacial is a popular treatment for actors and actresses to undergo just before the Oscars?  One of the reasons that celebrities love the HydraFacial as a pre-red carpet ritual is there is no downtime required, and the skin doesn’t need to recover as it might do with a different type of rejuvenating facial treatment such as a facial peel or dermal fillers.  So what exactly is a HydraFacial and why is it a celebrity favourite facial?

 

What is a HydraFacial?

The celebrity favourite HydraFacial is a popular facial available in aesthetics or dermatology clinics and uses ‘hydradermabrasion’ technology to treat the skin.  Similar to a microdermabrasion treatment, but rather than simply exfoliating, the HydraFacial involves a four step process to cleanse and resurface the top layer of skin, mild and gentle peeling, extracting debris from pores with painless suction and hydrating the skin with serum infusions containing antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and peptides for a healthy, glowing complexion.  The treatment can be further enhanced with LED light therapy for increased skin cell regeneration, which is a favourite of reality star Kim Kardashian.

 

What are the Benefits of a HydraFacial?

The main reason that celebs love HydraFacial is the red carpet level results in how it makes your skin look and feel in such a short space of time.  After just one treatment you will notice a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, a decongested complexion with smaller and cleaner pores, smoother skin with less blemishes and of course that radiant HydraFacial glow.  With no need for downtime, this is the perfect choice of facial if you have an important event or party coming up – instant results without looking red or sore.  You can even have the HydraFacial on the same day as your special occasion.  Perfect for being photo-ready when the paparazzi strike!

 

Is a HydraFacial Better than a Regular Facial?

Regular facials can feel like a relaxing and pampering experience and work mainly on the surface layer of the skin; but a medical grade HydraFacial uses a vacuum-like tip which means it is able to cleanse deeper into the skin to get effective results in reducing signs of ageing such as hyperpigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles.  In a traditional facial, the extraction process may be painful and leave some redness behind afterwards, however HydraFacial technology means that gentle suction and extraction is used to remove debris and blackheads without force.  This also means that you are able to see how much ‘gunk’ is removed in the hydradermabrasion device following your treatment too!

 

How Much Does a HydraFacial Cost?

You might be wondering how much is a HydraFacial?  The price of a HydraFacial will depend on where you live, and which clinic you go to.  At Cavendish Clinic, our HydraFacial treatments start at just £125.  We have a range of add-ons which can further enhance your treatment including ZO, Skinceuticals and Dr Levy cosmeceutical skin boosters.  Whilst you will see the results instantly following your HydraFacial, optimal benefits of a HydraFacial come with regular treatments so it is worth considering a package or course of treatments to save money and have extra radiant skin in the process.

 

Is a HydraFacial Worth it?

With all the hype in the press about this innovative treatment, it’s natural to wonder is a HydraFacial worth it?  With such impressive and noticeable results offered by a quick and painless treatment, it is no wonder that HydraFacial is a celebrity endorsed facial.  The great news is that the HydraFacial is suitable for most skin types, and the results can last up to 72 hours, with longer-lasting results for healthy skin following regular maintenance sessions. If you’re looking for a red carpet glow, it’s worth trying it for yourself and seeing the results.

 

JOHN LEWIS RAISES THE BEAUTY BAR

British retailer launches world’s first HydraFacial Bar alongside new in-store clinics.

High tech ‘tweakments’ are now available for beauty floor shoppers, as John Lewis unveils a range of new ‘derm’ style experiences this winter.

Hot on the heels of the ‘skinimalism’ trend, shoppers will be able to book a medical-grade facial, consult an aesthetic practitioner and buy cosmeceutical skincare products more commonly found in private dermatology clinics.

Concept Cavendish Clinics will additionally roll out at Kingston, Milton Keynes, and London’s Peter Jones throughout the month. These locations join the Cavendish Clinics already open in the newly remodelled John Lewis store in Edinburgh.

Beauty connoisseurs will recognise the names behind the concept. Global treatment brand HydraFacial (renowned for its post treatment ‘gunkie’ shots and A-list fans) will be featured at the HydraFacial Bar operated by Cavendish Clinic, one of the UKs leading chains of aesthetic clinics.

It will be staffed by trained aestheticians, who will also offer advice on cosmeceutical skincare from brands like SkinCeuticals, Dr Levy and Heliocare.

Curiosity about non-invasive aesthetics treatments continues to grow in the UK, as customers seek more effective solutions to combat the signs of ageing and rejuvenate the skin.

Non-surgical procedures count 90% of all cosmetic procedures carried out in the UK, and make up 70% of the market.

And it’s not just women
 the pressure to be ‘zoom ready’ means men’s grooming regimes now go beyond basic moisturiser.

The “HydraFacial Bar by Cavendish Clinic” is one of a number of beauty innovations from the popular retailer, as it continues to invest in in-store services and customer experiences.

Men’s health magazine review our famous fat freezing treatment

Fat loss and worrying about weight is something we’ve all experienced at least once in our lives, and as Men’s Health explored, the older we get- the more we seem to consider losing weight. As we age, fat becomes more difficult to shift, particularly in areas around our stomachs and thighs which is why Men’s Health reader, Ross, decided to take part in a 12 session course of our famous Coolsculpting treatment. We were thrilled to have the Men’s Health team in with Ross and their review is a testament to how successful Coolsculpting is.

Interviewed with our very own Dr Matthew James, Ross shares his reasons for exploring fat freezing as a weight management treatment and our experienced Dr James shares why Coolsculpting has become such a popular treatment here at Cavendish Clinic. Over the last few years, aesthetic treatments have grown more popular among men with more people now than ever looking for alternative treatments to help them feel better in their own skin.
