Dermalogica have done it again, taking the latest findings in scientific research and creating the amazing new UltraCalming range, the most advanced Sensitised Skin system available.
The most common cause of irritation, flushing and stinging is inflamation. This combined with the loss of the skin’s protective barrier means your skin’s health is comprimised and can be in a highly reactive state.
The exclusive Dermalogica UltraCalming Complex is clinically proven to control multiple inflamatory reactions leading to sensitised skin whilst restoring the skin’s protective barrier.
Immunogenic Inflammation
This is triggered by the immune system caused by foreign substances such as pollen or artificial fragrances.
Neurogenic Inflammation
Triggered by the nervous system, sensitised or inflammed skin may be the result of the environment, chemicals or physical and emotional stress.
Loss of Protective Barrier
Excess exfoliation, exposure to soap and water, even psychological stress can comprimise the skin’s protective barrier, lowering your ability to tolerate stressors resulting in sensitised skin and irritation.
Products in the UltraCalming Range
This brand new range consists of three brand new products, an old favourite gets a new formulation and the Barrier Repair product joins the range.
UltraCalming Mist
A soothing, hydrating mist that quickly relieves sensitivity while helping to calm redness, stinging and aggravated skin. Contains no artificial fragrance or color.
UltraCalming Relief Masque
A powerful, ultra-calming treatment masque enriched with Colloidal Oatmeal to soothe enraged skin and provide lasting relief from sensitized skin flare-ups, redness and rosacea.
UltraCalming Sensitized Skin Treatment Kit
The ultimate starter set to get skin cool, calmed and on the healthy skin track!
UltraCalming Serum Concentrate
The antidote for skin sensitivity: a super-concentrated serum that helps calm, restore and defend sensitized skin. Contains no artificial fragrance or color.
Barrier Repair
NEW Re-formulated Barrier Repair! This unique anhydrous (waterless) moisturiser melts gently into skin to help shield against environmental and internal triggers that cause skin stress.
UltraCalming Cleanser
NEW Reformulated UltraCalming Cleanser! Recommended for sensitised, reactive and recently resurfaced skin. This extremely gentle, PH-balanced gel/cream glides easily over face and eyes to cleanse withour stripping skin’s protective barrier.

How do Hopi Ear Candles work?
The candles are made from the natural ingredients of beeswax, honey extracts, sage, St Johns Wort, chamomile, beta-carotene and organically grown flax. The candles draw any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. They equalise the pressure in the head and ears, making them suitable for most conditions. Secretion flow is gently stimulated and the vapour collects and removes impurities or deposits.
What are Hopi Ear Candles used for?
Though results may vary in different people,
Hopi Candles have been reported to help with:
Excessive or compacted wax in the ears
Irritation in ears and sinuses
Pressure regulation in cases of:
Sinusitis, rhinitis, glue ear, colds, flu, headaches, migraine
Stimulation of local and reflex energy flow
Energetic revitalisation in cases of hearing impairment
Relaxing and calming effect in cases of stress
Noises in the ears, ringing

Novice tip and overlay 2nd place
Student Northern nail championships 2nd place
Professional beauty is really encouraging training companies, product suppliers and colleges to support newly trained nail technicians entering a nail competition for the first time. To qualify Georgia had to enter the tip and overlay novice category, haven been doing nails of any type or system less than 2 years and have never entered a nail competition before.
GEORGIA COMMENTS:
For the UV gel tip and overlay category I decided to use Bio Sculpture Gel’s products as I was very confident working with the ranges of gels they have to offer. Bio sculpture is a durable gel that is applied as an overlay onto natural and extended nails. The gel is then cured under a UV light to give it that strong, flexible, glossy finish which last for three weeks. It will also soak off easily without damaging natural nails.
For the competition we had 2 and a half hours to complete our models hands. Both hands had to be extended and sculpted. The left hand had to be finished with a French gel, whereas the right hand was a blood red nail polish finish. Each category had 12 competitors. Once we finished we had to leave our models to be judged. The judges were looking for a very consistent set of nails that had to be buffed, shaped, polished and finished to a very high standard.

The launch of Minx Nail fashion is a new and glamorous way for women to extend fashion to their very fingertips. Minx nails have become the latest must have fashion accessory for the celebs, being worn by names such as Victoria Beckham, Christina Aguillara, Rihanna and Beyonce to name but a few.
Minx is a solid film with an adhesive backing that is heat activated. The heat gives Minx the conformability to fit over the compound curve of a nail, and seals the film onto the bed. The patent-pending, proprietary material that Minx is made of can easily be removed with heat
HOW LONG DO THEY LAST? This depends on several factors; the most important being proper application. From our Minx users, it appears the normal range is from one to two weeks. But, during this time, Minx does not chip
Minx nails have become the latest must have fashion accessory that has taken the States by storm, with celebs such as Victoria Beckham, Christina Aguillara, Rihanna and Beyonce appearing in glossy fashion magazines showing off their new Minx nails.
“Minx is for those who love to stand out from the crowd,” declares Master Minx Janice Jordan. “For celebrities who wore Minx nails on the red carpet for the American Music Awards and the Music Rocks event, Minx opened up a whole new area of fashion. Once you’ve tried it, you can’t go back.”
With hundreds of designs to choose from, Gigi Rouse says, “There is no other way anyone could apply these designs to both natural and enhanced nails in such a quick time (15 minutes). With Minx, Nail art is beautifully and tastefully done and, most importantly, affordable!!”
makeupbuzz.net sums up an article on Minx as “Beyonce loves Minx!” in the photo she can be seen on the red carpet minxing up her designer dress by wearing matching gold Minx nails
Minx was origanally invented by Janice Jordan, Minx chief executive, after getting frustrated with her nails wearing down while working at her vehicle graphics business, Janice says: “I’m hard on my nails so I had to come up with something that would work better. “I’m not an engineer, but I have an engineer’s mind and I’m a problem solver.”
After six months of developing her Idea Janice partnered with Dawn, an expert in the salon industry. The two tested the product in the market and found 100% of the salons they approached were interested, tried Minx, and wanted more. Because of the uniqueness of the product, word soon spread to magazines wanting to do stories on Minx. Realizing the damage that can happen when a company cannot supply demand Janice and Dawn ended the test with the conclusion they needed to set up the manufacturing facilities and infrastructure to support sales.
