Del Dew Beauty (@deldewbeauty): It’s a good post day today. No bills, just treats

Amanda Pauley (@Mini_Pauley): Catching up with BBC’s The Truth about Looking Good. It’s not new news that sun damage is the number one skin-ager

Charlotte Elisabeth Deaves (@CharlotteElisabethDeaves): Reading PB’s “Where to turn for mental health support” and it’s great you’ve covered this subject. I don’t like to let clients down but as therapists we have to be well enough, both mentally and physically, to give the best treatments we can.

THIS MONTH WE ASKED YOU…

Do you offer treatments for those who have suffered or are suffering with cancer?

Susan Roche, owner of Newcastle Beauty Clinic, commented: “In 25 years of business, I have sent clients to the doctors twice and both times it was skin cancer. This is the best idea ever.”

Michelle Hammond, founder of cancer in spas initiative The Power of Touch, commented: “Excellent initiative. Something all colleges and skincare training providers should incorporate.”

UK salons offering free facials to clients who attend smear test

Julie Coombs commented: “What a fantastic idea and lovely gesture. Hopefully this will put those important figures back up. To have the smear test done is not nice, as we all know, but to know that this is to follow and that it will make women feel better and pampered is a great incentive. Well done to the salons offering this.”
