So, sit back, relax, and get ready to add some serious oomph to your travel beauty game! 

Maintaining gorgeous hair on holiday can sometimes be a challenge due to the humidity, damaging UV rays and salt water, but with a few simple tricks, you can keep your locks looking fabulous all vacation long. One key tip is to protect your hair from the sun's harmful rays, we recommend using Aveda’s Sun Care Protective Hair Veil for ultimate protection and beautifully fresh aroma. Additionally, using a good hair treatment like Color Wow Dream Cocktail Kale-Infused to strengthen and repair can help prevent hair damage from saltwater and chlorine. If you are prone to your hair doing its own wild thing in humid conditions – we seriously recommend using Color Wow Dream Coat Anti-Humidity Hair Treatment or Color Wow Dream Coat For Curly Hair, this viral product is an absolute game-changer for holiday hair by keeping hair frizz free and tamed for up to 4 washes! If just looking at heat styling tools is a no whilst you’re away, use a styling product such as Bumble and bumble Surf Wave Foam for effortless beachy waves with minimal styling required! With a little bit of effort, you can maintain luscious locks during your holiday and return home with enviable hair. 

Facial products are ESSENTIAL on your holiday, for an all-rounder the 3-in-1 face mist by et al. is the ultimate travel companion that hydrates, protects and sets – perfect for long and tiresome flights! SPF will be your absolute BFF so be sure to stay protected with a quality sunscreen like the Prisma Protect SPF30 by Dermalogica that protects skin as well as boosting it with a radiant glow.  To keep lips hydrated with a soft colour – we recommend Feed My Lips Pure Nourish-Mint Lipstick in shade Rose Jicama by Aveda for an earthy pink tone. To get those cheeks poppin’ like a bronzed goddess, The Lit from Within collection by Delilah Cosmetics is absolutely gorgeous for a luminous and radiant cheek lift and highlight.  

When packing for your holiday, body care products often can be an afterthought but it's just as important as any other part of your skincare routine. Consider bringing a light, non-greasy body lotion like the Shampure Body Lotion, which is infused with Aloe Vera for its refreshing and moisturising properties, to keep your skin hydrated from the sun. Don’t tan easily? Just fake it until you make it by adding a few drops of St. Tropez Luxe Tan Tonic Drops to your face and/ or body lotion for that sun-kissed glow! Don't forget to pack a gentle body wash that will not strip your skin off its natural oils – we highly recommend Aveda’s Sun Care Hair & Body Cleanser to clear away drying agents like chlorine, salt and product build-up. And for those who plan to hit the beach, a waterproof and sweat-resistant sunscreen is a must-have – the Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport SPF50 is perfect for providing ultimate protection in high heat conditions. With these products, you can relax and enjoy your holiday knowing that you are taking care of your skin.

Our product review

Charley (beauty team)

Age – 30

Skin type – Dry to very dry skin

I recently tried the Dermalogica Prebiotic Micellar Precleanse and after being so set on the                    original Precleanse formula, I didn't know if I would be swayed towards this new version...

Product texture and scent - 5/5

Let me begin by saying that the texture of this product is amazing. It comes out as a milky consistency rather than the oily formula of the original which may sit better with those that have oily skin or skin that's a little more susceptible to breakouts. I tend to be on the drier skin end of the scale so I did feel a little sceptical about how the consistency would be for me, but actually it turned out to be just as nourishing as the oil version without the heavier feel that oil can sometimes leave on the skin, so I was very pleasantly surprised!

Cleansing - 4/5

After applying the Prebiotic Micellar Precleanse to my face (with a light make-up coverage), the product did quickly get to work in removing traces of make-up and lathered up really nicely when in contact with water, but I would say I needed to use a little more product than the original Precleanse to get the same effect of complete make-up removal and skin-prep for cleansing. Most importantly though, my skin didn't feel tight or stripped at all when using this and feel it’s a great choice for those looking for a high-quality skin prep product before cleansing.

Overall, I would not hesitate to use this as part of my skincare routine - for me, it is best used in the morning before I wear make-up and I would most likely stick to the original Precleanse as part of my night-time routine where I need slightly more hydration and power for make-up removal, but I do believe those with oily or breakout-prone skin would especially benefit from having this as a staple part of their skincare routine!

Scalp Health 

The scalp is an often-overlooked part of our body when it comes to hair care routines. However, it is crucial to the health and appearance of our hair. Neglecting our scalps can lead to various problems, including dandruff, itchiness, and even hair loss. We have put together a helpful guide on why scalp care is so important and some tips to help keep your scalp in tip top condition and flake-free!

Why is scalp care important?

Promotes Hair Growth: A healthy scalp leads to healthy hair growth. The scalp's health and hair growth are closely linked, and maintaining a clean and healthy scalp can help keep your hair strong and prevent breakage.

Prevents Dandruff: Dandruff is a common scalp problem that can be caused by an excessive build-up of oil, dirt, and dead skin cells. A clean and healthy scalp can prevent dandruff, which can be embarrassing and uncomfortable.

Reduces Scalp Itchiness: Itchiness on the scalp can be a symptom of various scalp disorders, including psoriasis and eczema. A regular scalp care routine can help reduce itchiness and inflammation, making it more comfortable for individuals with sensitive scalps.

Keeps Hair Clean: Keeping your scalp clean can help reduce the amount of styling products you need to use. Oily hair is often caused by an unhealthy scalp, and this can lead to an increased need for dry shampoo or other hair products.

UK Beauty Club’s top tips on how to keep your scalp clean and healthy:

Use the right shampoo: The first step in scalp care is to invest in a shampoo that works for you. Choose a shampoo that is gentle on your scalp and does not contain harsh chemicals. Opt for a shampoo that has natural ingredients and is suitable for your hair type. We recommend the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo: This shampoo contains tea tree oil, which has antifungal and antibacterial properties that can help keep the scalp clean and healthy. Also, Aveda Scalp Solutions Balancing Shampoo is designed to gently cleanse whilst helping to remove excess oil.

Exfoliate: Just like our skin, our scalp can benefit from exfoliation. Use a scalp scrub or a gentle scalp brush to exfoliate your scalp once a week. This not only unclogs hair follicles but also helps promote healthy hair growth. The Aveda Scalp Solutions Stimulating Massager is perfect for keeping your scalp fresh and healthy whilst the Aveda Invati Advanced Exfoliating Shampoo delivers a clean, weightless and airy feel.

Avoid over-washing: Frequent washing of the hair can strip the scalp of its natural oils and lead to dryness. Try to limit hair-washing to every other day or alternate with dry shampoo. The Aveda Rinseless Refresh Micellar Hair & Scalp Refresher is perfect for those no wash days!

Oil massaging: Applying oil to the scalp can help improve blood circulation and promote healthy hair growth. Choose natural oils like coconut oil or olive oil and massage it into your scalp before washing your hair. The Aveda Shampure Composition Oil is perfect for scalp massaging and can also be used in the bath and on the body too!

In conclusion, taking care of your scalp is an essential part of your overall hair care routine. A healthy scalp can help prevent hair loss, dandruff, and other scalp disorders. So, invest in the right products, exfoliate, avoid over-washing, and massage your scalp regularly to keep it clean and healthy.

The King's Coronation - Men's Grooming

As we look back through history, one event that stands out as an occasion for men to showcase their impeccable grooming regimes is a king's coronation. From the perfectly groomed hair to the immaculate beard, the coronation was a time to show off one's dedication to grooming. While we may not all be royalty, it is important for men today to follow a grooming regime for a polished and confident appearance.

Here are some tips that men can follow to achieve a grooming regime fit for a king:

1. Invest in a good skincare routine – decent products for your skincare regime is so important when it comes to skin health. Sticking to a simple 3-step routine will do wonders – Cleanse, Exfoliate and Moisturise.

Cleanse morning and night – A thorough cleanse first thing in the morning and before you go to bed is key to keeping skin healthy, refreshed, and clean. We recommend Dermalogica’s Special Cleansing Gel which is infused with Balm Mint that has anti-inflammatory properties to keep skin fresh and radiant.

Exfoliate twice per week – Exfoliating is important for your skincare routine as it scrubs away dead skin cells that can be sat on the surface of your skin, leaving it looking dull and sometimes flaky. Aim to exfoliate twice per week to help prevent breakouts and encourage smoother, softer and brighter complexions. We recommend Daily Microfoliant by Dermalogica which is a rice-based exfoliating powder that turns to a paste-like consistency when in contact with water and is ideal for all skin types.

Moisturise morning with SPF and use a night cream before bed  - Using a moisturiser with SPF during the day is crucial for optimal skin health and keeping skin healthy and youthful – even in colder months UV rays can still sneak up on skin and cause damage. For during the day we recommend Dermalogica Oil Free Matte SPF30 and for a nourishing, relaxing night cream whilst you rest, the Dermalogica Sound Sleep Cocoon Night Gel-Cream is perfect.

1. A strong haircare routine – hair care is not just about looking good; it is also about feeling good from the inside out. When it comes to men's hair grooming, taking care of your hair can have many benefits beyond just appearance. A good hair grooming routine can promote healthy hair growth, prevent scalp problems, boost self-confidence, and create a distinguished and polished appearance.

Shampoo – Use a quality shampoo to wash your hair every two to three days, we recommend the Aveda Men Pure-Formance Shampoo to massage into your scalp to remove build-up dirt and oil, then rinse thoroughly with warm water, leaving your hair clean and refreshed.

Style – There are lots of different products for hair styling such as pomades, pastes, waxes or gels so its really a personal preference for what kind of look you want. We recommend Dapper Dan Matt Paste for an all-round product with a strong yet flexible hold that is suitable for a range of styles such as quiffs, messy style or partings. For a natural, matte texture – the Dapper Dan Sea Salt Spray is an easy styling product to spray straight onto damp hair or for bendable texture with a satin finish, the Paul Mitchell Flexible Style Spray Wax is perfect for a more defined look.

Beard care – If you have a beard, opt for a decent beard oil such as Redken Brews Beard Oil to keep your beard nourished and smelling great.

1. Smell Confident – A good fragrance is key to a daily grooming routine and can help to put you in a positive mindset for the day ahead. We recommend Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme for a fresh fragrance that smells masculine and warm.

1. Keep nails in top form – Good nail health reduces the risk of infections and other nail-related illnesses as well as being visually appealing. By maintaining good nail health, you may be able to promote healthy growth and prevent issues such as splitting, peeling or brittleness. The OPI ProSpa Cuticle Oil To Go is perfect for applying before bed to help plump skin and strengthen nails.

After diving into the many aspects of men's grooming, it's evident that a good regimen is not only achievable but also beneficial for any man. It begins with prioritizing our skin and hair care routine to present a polished and put-together appearance, taking time to choose products that complement our natural features and investing in high-quality products that can help us achieve that feel-good look. Self-care practices such as facial cleanses and manicures are not only for women but also for men who deserve it.

National Vitamin-C Day April 4th 

 As National Vitamin-C day is April 4^th, we thought it would be a fantastic idea to delve into detail about the benefits that Vitamin C can do for us as well as take a look at a selection of our superstar Vitamin-C-infused products that we have here at UK Beauty Club.

 Let’s first start off by finding out more about the topical benefits of Vitamin C and why it is so important for our skin!

 Topical vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that has numerous benefits for our skin. Here are some of the key benefits:

Brightening Effect: Vitamin C helps to lighten hyperpigmentation and brighten the skin tone, giving us a more even and radiant complexion. The BioLumin-C Brightening Trio by Dermalogica is a powerhouse trio of Vitamin-C infused skincare products (BioLumin-C Serum 30ml, BioLumin-C Eye Serum 6ml & BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer 15ml) that firms, hydrates and brightens tired skin. If you prefer the combine the beauty of brighter skin with a little dash of fake tan, the St. Tropez Purity Vitamin Serum is a perfect alternative to getting that vitamin-c-infused envious glow.

Collagen Production: Vitamin C stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. For a serum that is brilliant for fighting hyperpigmentation, tackling dullness, and supporting the skin’s natural collagen, Elizabeth Arden Vitamin C Ceramide Capsules Serum brings together the benefits of Vitamin C and ceramides - or, for a masque that helps to repair and restore damaged skin, the Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque by Dermalogica is perfect for moisturising, soothing and calming complexions as well as increasing elasticity and aiding in collagen synthesis to help restore suppleness.

Protection Against Sun Damage: Vitamin C has been shown to help protect the skin against the harmful effects of UV rays, which can cause premature aging, sun spots, and other skin damage. The Clearing Defense SPF30 by Dermalogica is a vitamin-c infused, shine-reducing SPF moisturiser that helps protect breakout-prone skin from environmental stress. For a nourishing night cream, the Tulasāra Firming Sleeping Masque by Aveda utilises A peptide + Vitamin C  to help skin boost its own natural production of collagen for visibly lifted, firmer feeling skin while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hydration: Vitamin C can also help to hydrate the skin by binding to water molecules, resulting in a more plump and youthful-looking complexion. For an all-in-one spa manicure kit that’s infused with Vitamin C, the Voesh Mani In A Box Vitamin Recharge is bursting with freshness and delivers happy, hydrated hands. If its hair hydration you need – then Redken Blondage High Bright Shampoo is a new blonde haircare system powered by Vitamin C and Redken's Brightening Care Complex that washes away buildup and impurities in hair whilst brightening and hydrating dulled, darkened or mattified blonde hair caused by dulling agents and pollution.

Reduced Inflammation: Vitamin C has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to calm irritated skin and reduce redness and swelling. If you’re looking for a velvety moisturiser that helps to fortify sensitised skin with a damaged barrier, the Ultracalming Barrier Repair by Dermalogica is delicately formulated with Evening Primrose Oil, Borage Seed Oil, Vitamins C & E, Oat and Botanical Actives to help minimise skin discomfort, restore a healthy barrier function and combat free radicals. For a soothing toner, the Antioxidant Hydramist by Dermalogica is perfect for hydrating and firming skin whilst targeting fine lines and wrinkles.

Overall, topical vitamin C is a versatile and effective ingredient that can help to improve the health and appearance of our skin in several ways.
