Whether your kids are doing sports, dance, lots of running around in the playground, or swimming etc. Whatever the activity maybe your child's skin has to looked after. Increasingly
our kids are facing skin problems with their skins which can be VERY upsetting for them.
In this picture it is Lilly's sports day, the weather was windy and rainy but still quite warm and the sun came out towards the afternoon. Lots of elements for the skin to cope with.This is often what our kids often have to cope with.
My tip would be to really try and encourage your child to cleanse morning and night.
If I am honest Lilly generally showers and goes in the morning including the face. But in the evening I ALWAYS push her to thoroughly Cleanse twice as she needs to remove everything from the day, she uses @larocheposay and then followed by a Super Gentle Rosewater Toner made by Me🙂 Which seems to be keeping her skin balanced.
Consistency is KEY!
Drop off at the schoolgates has been the ideal place to find out exactly what our kids are doing.
The main problem seems to be how do we get our kids to look after their skin 🤔especially approaching adolescent years....??
Stay posted for more tips🙂🙂
Any questions just ask Lorraine X

HOW DO YOU SLEEP??
It is sooooo important to sleep well in order to have healthy glowing skin.
This is because whilst we sleep the body boosts blood flow to the skin, also whilst we sleep the body has amazing powers to restore, heal and rejuvenate the skin.
So here are a few of my Beauty Sleeping Tips for when you are in bed -
Always carry out your skincare routine before you go to bed. Once your skin is nourished and hydrated when it hits your pillow you will instantly feel more relaxed.
Add a drop of your favourite essential oil to your pillow, you will float off to sleep. My go to oil has to be Vetiver(so good).
Sleep on a cool pillow, silk or an organic cotton preferably not a fabric that retains alot of heat. Too much heat is never good for the skin!
Really try not to sleep on your stomach it completely squishes your face....not a good look🤣.
Continuously sleeping on the same side of your face creates pressure night after night in the same area of your facial skin and sadly can increase the risk of wrinkles in that area😒. So be bold switch it up!! Sleep on the right side sometimes but don't be afraid to sleep on the left side too and try sleeping on your back it's a winner for keeping those wrinkles at bay !!!🙂
Last but not least ALWAYS keep your hair off your face!!!!!! Your hair as you know carries all kinds of bacteria 😝 unfortunately so always keep it off your face as much as you can !!
OK hope that really helped, let me know if you have any questions🙂🙂.
ps. And of course as you all know always have a glass of water on your bedside table.Xx

LET'S TALK CLEANSERS!!!
So over a period of time now I have been talking to lot's of kids and lot's of Parents and Carers about what their kids are using on their skin.I have bothered the parents at the School Gates, Netball, Football, Tennis so, thanks so much for being so helpful🙂🥰
The first 3 @cetaphiluk, @spotsandstripes and @epadermuk products by far were most commonly used, The last cleanser my Friend's Daughters have been trying for me and a few other close friends and they have love it @samfarmer_co and of course Lilly’s cleanser that I love for her is gentle Cleansing Foam @larocheposay.
Some children use no Cleansing Products or Moisturisers yet, purely based on there age, age being too young!
Some children wash in the shower and include their faces, some children splash their faces with water in the morning and at night before going to bed. Purely depending on the child and what they like too!
As said increasingly over the years I am being asked to treat children's skin. The age that I had requests for facials use to be around 18 years old, then it went down to 16years old now I have parents calling for treatments as young as 12 years old for their children's skin!!!🤔
I have found children's skins are more unbalanced due to sadly stress, the environment, diet, allergies, higher pollution levels, I think children increasing have their faces next to ipads and phones 🙄🙄🙄.This doesn't help at all!!!
This being said I think our kids need more outside time, parks, bikes, walks. More fresh fruits and vegetables, more fun times with friends and less ipad, phone times and more sleep. This all makes for a great healthy balanced body which of course=a healthy skin.!!!!
Of course as Parents and Carers this is what we all try to do.
I guess all we can do is keep trying....😍

Hi there just a few tips for treatments and products that can improve the forehead area. In my time as a Facialist I really feel that this area can come under great scrutiny but really with consistency and application it is really one of those areas that once the work begins the results are excellent!
So as seen I feel microcurrent is wonderful for working and lifting and almost training the muscles of the upper face.Oxygenation is fundamental for retexturising and smoothing and plumping the skin, Guasha and Cupping are excellent for improving the circulation.
So when seeking out a Facialist it is key to build a great rapport with them as all of these treatments need to be done on a regular basis.These are not over night quick fixes!!
As said consistency is key!!🙂

Well today is a super hot day🔥🔥🔥🌝.
One of the biggest challenges I find with the Summer months is getting the right Sun Protection for our kids.
It is so important to find a product that doesn't irritate the skin, doesn't smell too strong, isn't too thick and has a very light and smooth application. As kids generally will wear Sun Protection as long as they don't really feel the product too much on their skin.
Here I have popped a few recommendations on Sun Protections that I like.
@sunsense
@heliacare
@sunsense
There are other Sun Protections that I like for other reasons Eg. Some Sun Protections are much better on people of colour such as @sunsenseuk. Or Sun Protections that are great for sensitive skins Eg.@greenpeople, but that is for another post!
In the meantime stay cool😎🤣x.

JAWLINE
My favourite treatments for improving this area are as follows
CUPPING, GUASHA, MICROCURRENT, MANUAL MASSAGE.
All of these above are fantastic for lifting, toning, improving circulation, rejuvenation, sculpturing and when they are done consistently on this area the jawline continues to look SCULPTURED!!!

Hi everyone sorry I look so serious here but I had just got back from another run😂😂.
Here I am showing some of my favourite moves=
Knuckling
Efflurage
Tapping
These are some of my constant companions that I use regularly on myself and my lovely clients.
When massaging on myself I always say
positive affirmations to ME and also during Tapping.
I feel especially in the morning it starts my day with positive energy inside and out!! Also I don't take ages just a few minutes in front of the mirror just for me.
So when you are getting ready in the morning tomorrow try it, just for you I promise you won't be disappointed.

Hi there I so wanted to post this earlier today!
Just wanted to remind you to always do the neck but especially the SIDES these areas really are often neglected. So when you are busy looking after your neck area always do the sides of the neck and behind the ears. When applying sun screen always do this area too!!
Also remember massaging these areas will pay off. Just a little every evening.
ps. Was also such a treat today to wear my beautiful dress @bettybgals. Thankyou so much !!

CLEANSING!!!
Very often many clients get confused when using their skincare products and quite right too it can be overwhelming!
Let's take cleansers in many skincare ranges there can be at 4 sometimes more in a range.Knowing which Cleanser to
purchase can be very daunting so always get advice.
Once you have your product some of the most common questions I get asked are "When do I use my Cleanser, how often do I Cleanse?"
So here's are my tips!
Cleansing first thing in the morning should be done once it should be a gentle, light superficial cleanse.But still thorough! Preparing your skin for your other products to lay on.
Cleansing in the evening should be done twice even up to three times as you will be removing the following
Pollution from the day
Makeup
SPF
Removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin
Excess oil
Preparing your skin to receive your skincare products, in the evening. You could be using additional products such as Exfoliators or Masks, Serums, etc so in order for them to work well the skin needs to be clean!!

BLUE LED LIGHT THERAPY
I think more clients are aware of RED LED Light Therapy.
For me BLUE LIGHT is just as important.
Blue Light is incredibly powerful and important as it is the light that carries out the following functions
Antibacterial effect on the epidermis
Improves the complexion
Excellent for the reduction of acne and reduces blackheads and whiteheads.
Has a calming effect on the surface of the skin.
Helps to reduce the production of sebum from the sebaceous glands.
Just wanted to let you know!!!

I have recently started to use this product on my lips @esho as they have really been so dry due to the weather, central heating etc.
I have to say I really like it I actually add it to my dry patches to hydrate any areas that need it too.
Has a super soothing and hydrating effect on the skin.
Some of the ingredients I belive are in it are squalene and jojoba.
My lips are very happy!!🙂

THE NECK
The neck is actually a very fragile area and can show premature aging signs really quite rapidly.
On this area I recommend you religiously use the following
Moisturiser
Facial Serum
Sun Protection
Facial Oil
I would definitely use these products everyday, being consistent is key.
I will be sharing my favourite products that I think really work in this area shortly.

Happy Mothers Day
As you know this is Lilly! She is a busy girl and I am super proud of her, however
my hardest job by far is being a Mum but by far it has the best rewards 🙂 and I LOVE it!
Continuously juggling work life, being a Mum, Home Life, Business life, is challenging to say the least. From going to matches, afterschool activities, collection at those school gates!!
Without the continuous support of my Sisters, Nieces, Friends, Husband, Colleagues and also Clients for being so understanding too none of it would work at all!!
Juggling so many balls can be soooo tricky so THANKYOU for the unwavering, unconditional support.
As we know it takes a village to raise children, I am just super grateful that you are mine.
Hope you have all had a fabulous day.
Big Love.

Perfect way to distress the face and skin are by using the cooling and soothing Cryo Sticks they are amazing!
So good for so many things, here are a few reasons why I love them.
When you are going out for an evening they are wonderful for getting rid of puffiness of the face.
Excellent for relaxing the face the cooling and soothing effect immediately aids relaxation.
Cooling effect is great for keeping the pores tight.
I love to do the following may be you could try it🤔
Cleanse your skin, apply your prefered facial oil massage for a minute, then glide your cooling objects along your skin finishing off with your usual moisturer. Remember when using any additional facial apparatus it is always important to not apply too much pressure and always move in an upwards motion.
If you do not have any Cryo Sticks as yet try Facial Rollers Eg. Jade Rollers if you have them, if not massage is still super beneficial.
Let me know how you get on x

This is my lovely daughter Lilly as many of you know, she is now age 11.
At this stage of her life she is incredibly active playing sports inside and outside and she is always doing something and of course always having fun. However lots of changes are happening, she is super tall and growing by the minute. One of the main changes that is occurring is in her skin.
Her skin is slightly irregular, her T-zone is more oily than before.It is changing. From time to time she will call me and say "Mum, look this is just annoying!!"
What is so important to realise that nurturing our children's skin is so vital as the effect on their confidence is affected hugely when their skin misbehaves.
Increasingly there are more and more products on the market for young skin but my clients tell me that they find it quite daunting 😕!
So DM me with all questions..
re your children's, teenagers skin.
What products should they use, what kind of skincare routine should they be doing, SPF, what age can they have a facial ??
The list is endless.
I'm here to help X

These are a few pointers to expect after a Facial Treatment.
It is important to have good communication with your clients to ensure expectations can be met . It is essential to explain that not all things may can be achieved after one Facial Treatment. A prime example is working on pigmentation areas, or darkness around the eyes . It is key to explain that more likely than not many sessions may be required to achieve the desired effect.When this is explained properly the client is always happier. It is also key to recommend all homemade products and skincare practices to achieve your clients goals.
So remember a thorough consultation is imperative!

Stay focused on your Skincare Routine you will definitely reap the rewards!
Before you go to bed always cleanse and nourish your skin.
When you leave your home in the morning always apply sunscreen.
Always massage your skin, every day even for a minute!
Always try to smile, frowning causes wrinkles!!
Always apply a nourishing lip balm to your lips it will help to keep them hydrated and plump.
Try and eat healthily we are what we eat, healthy foods will help your skin to glow!
Last but not least always look after your neck and décolleté
too!!

Hi there any questions you might have regarding your skin, or your skincare routine, or your products

Questions that are often asked can be what kind of sunscreen should I be using, or do I need a sunscreen, can I wear make up after a Facial Treatment, can I exercise after my Facial Treatment, what age can my daughter have a facial, can I shave after my Facial Treatment???
The list is endless. Anything private just DM.

Focusing on the lower part of the face is firm, pressure point massage. Again quick and easy to follow!
Try to do as said a little every night. Apply your favourite massage oil put some music on and get massaging!!
Pressure Point massage is wonderful for releasing tension, Lymphatic Drainage is ideal for reducing puffiness in the face so both of these movements together prove to be very effective in keeping the jawline looking sculpted!

Hi there!
Here's a quick video that you can all follow at home. Perfect before bed.
This massage is really quite simple to do but really effective.
With massage a small amount makes a hughe difference, what is important is being consistent. Just a little massage every night is imperative to boost the skin, improve circulation, and aid rejuvenation!
Apply a Facial Oil first, my go to oil is my favourite Bespoke Facial Oil that I frequently make for myself to hydrate and nourish the skin.
My Oil at night that I make for my skin is Advocado oil, Grapeseed oil and Argon oil and Rosehip Oil, it is beautiful!
So remember self-care is key.The power of nurturing ourselves is so important and we are worth it. It is great for the body and also for the mind too!

CHILDRENS' SKIN
This is my daughter Lilly she is ten years old. Currently her skin is just beginning to change she has started to notice a few differences in texture, oiliness and smoothness, of course to me this is all irrelevant as all I see is this beautiful girl.
Lilly told me clearly " Mum you have to have confidence in yourself and feel proud and having happy skin helps".
So I looked in the stores for skincare products for children, I found them to be a little too harsh and a little too perfumed. So if you cannot find what you like, you make it!
So I have made the following for Lilly......
A Super gentle Skin Refresher to cleanse her skin which is basically a Rosewater Toner infused with Grapeseed oil.
Followed by an Facial Balm which is a blend of Coconut oil and Cocoa Butter. This hydrates and nourishes the skin but allows it to breathe at the same time.
This combination has worked really well for her.!!No chemicals, no toxins, vegan friendly she was very proud. So let's make our kids PROUD and HAPPY.
What are your thoughts ?????

Just love this picture @vogue it is wonderful, so had to repost it!
It is so very important to treat your skin correctly and to get the advice from skilled, qualified, experienced and knowlegable Estheticians and Dermatologists.
It is incredibly easy to purchase products that are too harsh, too agressive and simply incorrect for your skin. Often using the wrong products on ones skin can result in breakouts, redness, irritation the list is endless!Ingredients such as Vitamin C, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic, Retinol, there are so many should only be used with clear instructions and guidance.
During the lockdown it was wonderful to hear that our clients stuck to their skincare regimes to the best of there ability minus the actual Facial Treatments😔.
So lets keep the good work up with our skin especially as we only have the one!! ❤️❤️

Not really this is Tapotement it is just wonderful almost like taking your skin to the gym!
It is firming, stimulating, rejuvenating, increases the circulation, the list is endless, the skin is left awakened and refreshed!
I really feel that this part of the facial done regularly is wonderful for the muscle tone and is also great for anti aging.
Keep Massaging everyone just a little a day

Morning, a sure way to start the day correctly is with a smoothy.
My go to smoothy is oat milk, spinach, banana, flaxseed oil, chia seeds, tumeric, honey and seamoss
and it sets me up for the day packed full of vitamins, minerals and powerful antioxidant great on the inside and glowing on the outside.
Give it a try !!!
Have a gorgeous Saturday 💕

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY💕
Happy Mothers Day everyone.
We wouldn't be here of course without our beloved mother Lillian May Downie. She taught us as women how to be strong, kind, ambitious, fearless and loving.
Thankyou for being such a wonderful mother today as we celebrate Mothers Day we also realise that it takes a village to raise a child. So Happy Mothers Day to all the Aunties, Sisters, Cousins and Friends that play such an integral role when raising our children.
Have a beautiful day.💕💕💕
Happy International Womens Day 2021.

Year after year, March 8 is celebrated as the International Women’s Day all over the world. The day celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women from all walks of life, while highlighting the day-to-day problems they face in the professional environment.
Women from every corner of the globe come together on March 8, which is also a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
Theme of International Women’s Day 2021:
Every year, this day is celebrated with a theme. The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day is “Choose To Challenge”. A challenged world is an alert world. And from challenge comes change. “So let's all #ChooseToChallenge,” read an official statement. This year’s theme is to highlight the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hi everyone Happy New Year ❤
Well Marvia and I have been away and off all social media for a while. We didn't want to return without paying tribute to our mother.
Very sadly our dearest mother passed away in October this year having battled many years with Alzheimer's Disease. We were blessed that she knew all of her family right until the very end.
Our beloved mother passed away at the tender age of 89yrs surrounded by her family.
It is a new year now and we are back!
Christmas was a very bittersweet time, full of sadness but also full of hope as our wonderful father is still with us🙂 and he still managed to laugh and smile with us and encourage us during this unprecedented time - without his wife of 65years. What a great man and he's blind!!!!
We will be restarting our Instagram with our tips on all things healthy, how to stay beautiful inside and out during such challenging times, things that have brought us joy, things that have made us smile, we will be interviewing great practitioners and doctors, visionaries and leaders in their field. We are happy to be back and ready to go!
Thankyou to everyone who sent us all the support and warm wishes during this time - we appreciate you and we are truely grateful.
On to the next chapter🙂, with life long beautiful memories of our beloved mother
Mrs Lillian May Downie💕
See you very SOON.
Marvia & Lorraine ❤

SIMPLICITY❤❤❤
Sometimes we can over complicate things!
I have learnt its better to keep things simple.Even one's skincare routine can become over complicated resulting in irritation of the skin, blocked pores and at worse the skin can react in a negative way due to product overload causing itchiness and erythema.
Find a great routine that is no more than 6 products at the most!
Generally the main ones are a Cleanser, Toner, Facial Oil, Serum, Moisturiser and Sunscreen.
You may have an additional product for Eg.the eye area, pigmentation problems, keloid scarring, or the decolletate but if you can try and keep it SIMPLE. If you need any advice you know where I am.❤

It's Saturday I am really missing using my hands. Massaging this power of touch is such a positive thing to give and to be able to do. It is an empowering feeling to know that you are able to connect with another person and to give joy, peace and relaxation. When you do a treatment like this it is a WONDERFUL feeling, so I am really hoping it won't be much longer, see you all very soon

It's Monday let's start the week as we mean to go on......Be A Kind Human ❤
Have a wonderful week.
FACIAL MASSAGE
Our skin can never have enough massage, here I am in the garden massaging in the shade.
The movements here are
Sculpting, Lymphatic Drainage,Natural Face Lifting, Pressurepoint Massage.
All of these movements aid the skins circulation, lift and remould the muscles of the face, drain away any toxins, reduce puffiness, cause desquamation leaving the skin feeling silky smooth,causes rejuvenation, creates a glow, antiaging effect.
Massaging ourselves gives us the feeling of SELFCARE and induces calm, relaxation and PEACE, which is perfect for all of us at this time ❤. Top Tip !!!
NEVER apply facial oil too closely to your eyes it can result in irritation and puffiness!!
Even if you massage your skin for one minute in the morning and one minute before bed you will DEFINITELY feel and see a difference!! #skincareroutine

HAPPY FATHERS DAY ❤
To all the Fathers on this special day.
You might wonder who this handsome gentleman is he's our father. Rupert Downie our father is a total inspiration to us! He is the most determined, hardworking and kind person we have ever met and we are so very proud and lucky that he is our father. He lost his eye sight due to Glaucoma around the age of 55years old.Our father is 90 years old this year ❤. Our father was a bus driver for many years during the day and a taxi driver at night! When our father's vision began to diminish he decided then to study even with partial sight! Our father's aim in life was to ensure that we had an education and a good life!
After finishing his studies he decided to open a business which catered for people returning to the Caribbean and it was a great success!
Our father has always done the following... Regularly attends the gymn twice a week.
He's a member of a mentoring group for other people loosing their sight.
A member of a walking club.
Often speaks on Radio Nottingham encouraging people regarding their sight.
Talks with the community regularly regarding RNIB (Royal National Institute Of Blind People) to help and advise people regarding there vision.
The list is endless of what he has done and achieved, he is always advising and encouraging us all.
He is a husband, a father, a grandad, great grandad!
We adore you Dad and thats why you are so special to us ❤. #happyfathersday
Thankyou for your continuous hard work.
Thankyou to all our KEY WORKERS👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #charliemackesy

AWAKEN THE SKIN!!!!
Hi I think it's time to WAKE up our skin.
Here I am showing you some excellent techniques for invigorating and rejuvenating your skin.
ICE THERAPY
This technique is wonderful for tightening the pores, excellent for reducing puffiness around the eye area, causes vasoconstriction which has a tightening effect on the epidermis.
This is especially great for post Facial Shaving for Men as it soothes the skin and helps to close the pores after shaving.
When doing Ice Therapy ALWAYS wrap your ice in gauze or a thin fabric before applying to the skin!
Followed by massage with an oil of your choice massage in an upward motion, your skin will soon be GLOWING!! GUASHA or a SPOON!!!
This section is wonderful for sculpting and lifting the skin.If you do not have a Guasha you can use a SPOON!!!! This is wonderful for lymphatic drainage and leaves the face more lifted and less puffy, ideal before to do daily or a great lift before a night out!! TAPPING
Tapping is great for energising the skin and really improving your circulation, it is a very simple movement but extremely effective on the skin. Great for waking your skin up and increasing the circulation it's a MUST!
Enjoy ❤❤❤
