2017 - Beauty With Inn

Nov 15, 2017

Thanks to all who came to our Elemis Ladies Night!

Earlier this month, the Beauty With Inn team held an Elemis open ladies night. As always when we stage these events, the turnout was fantastic and it was lovely to see so many of our regulars make an appearance.

The night was a unique chance to see the latest Elemis gift sets and products, and gave the attendees the opportunity for some proper hands-on time with lots of awesome new stuff from one of our favourite brands.

Beauty With Inn owner, Natalie Faulkner, was delighted with how the night panned out. “It was a great way to showcase all the beautiful Gift sets,” she explained once the event had finished. “My ultimate fave was the Pro Collagen Stars cleansing balm. It’s so beautiful to use and removes makeup so cleanly, leaving your skin feeling amazing and smelling stunning.”

In fact, Pro Collagen turned out to be one of the hottest products of the night, as Natalie continues: “Then, you have the Pro Collagen marine cream. And… well, I cannot leave my house without it! Truly magic in a box! I use every day and my skin feels great all day.”

The night also did it’s bit for charity. “We held a raffle during the Elemis event and raised £72 for the Lighthouse centre. This is a local charity that helps people in their own homes with terminal illnesses. It’s a charity that’s particularly close to me, and I’ll forever be thankful to Gemma Dearsley for looking after my mum in the last few days of her fight with cancer.

“So, all in all a fab night for the ladies that attended! The team were also fantastic and received their own share of pampering during the event. In fact, I simply want everyone – my customers and team – to feel truly as spoilt as I do!”

Details on the next Elemis Ladies Night at Beauty With Inn will follow in the not too distant future – stay tuned!

4 back-to-basics tips for better hair

Do you look after your hair in-between those trips to the salon?

No… you know, really look after it?

Our hair is put through quite a bit, day-in, day-out. It’s exposed to different elements, scratched, prodded and stroked. We blow-dry it, wash it (and forget to wash it) and tie it up when it’s doing nothing more than getting in our way.

Poor hair. Deserves a break, eh (not literally!)?

What follows is four things you can do from now on to give your hair the best chance of long term health and ensure it always looks at its best.

1. Don’t leave it wet

Ok, so you need to run out to the shops, or catch the bus which you missed yesterday morning – but what about your wet, dangly hair?

Leaving hair wet is one of the worst things you can do to it. A bit like spaghetti, it will simply begin to swell relentlessly and, as a result, become weaker over time.

Allow time to dry your hair properly. Blow dry it (even before bed), and try washing it with cooler water, as this will improve the overall condition and make it stronger than ever.

2. Don’t get addicted to brushing

Your hair needs brushing, of course, but it’s easy to get a bit addicted to doing so (for some of us, it’s a comfort, after all).

Brushing your hair too much, however, can cause serious damage – particularly if you’re having to get knots out.

Knots aren’t worth losing your hair over, so be a little bit more gentle and work on sections of your hair, instead. Brush from the tips to the root and take it easy. Only brush when you absolutely need to.

Hair is more elasticated when wet, too, so remember that it’ll damage more easily without you knowing anything about it.

3. Try a different pillow case

This might sound a bit odd (and possibly a little extravagant), but swapping your old ropey pillow case for one made from silk can do wonders for the condition of your hair.

You’ll probably wake up with less frizz, too!

4. Take a look at your handbag

Sometimes, it’s the less obvious stuff that can have detrimental effects on your hair.

Take your handbag. If it features a shoulder strap, it might be doing more damage to your locks than you think.

Every time you sling the bag over your shoulder, you’ll catch your hair, and over time, that’ll make it more brittle and split. Eventually, it’ll break off – all because of your bag.

Who’d have thought it, eh? To prevent this, lose that shoulder strap!

We hope our hair tips help. Bar the silk pillow case, you won’t need to spend a penny, either!
