Smoothing Warming Gel should be used to “prepare the skin for athletic activity” and encourages slimmer looking legs with its taurine re-energising complex. Also on stand will be the NO2ctuelle range, designed to work on the factors that cause environmental ageing and strain the skin.

“I love Professional Beauty North because it’s a great day out and allows me to meet up with fellow salon owners who I have met on social media groups and also brand exhibitors. We usually take a list with us of things we want for the salon and have a look to see what new products are available in the coming year” Sophie Patel, owner of Beauty at Noggis, Bolton

Mary Cohr

Guinot’s sister brand will showcase newly launched Incredible Hydrating Cream, formulated with hyaluronic acid and enriched with an “aqua cellular complex”, which works to reactivate the skin’s key hydrating mechanisms. Also new is sun care range Science UV, developed to compensate age deficiencies with melanin, lutein, sun filters, DNA and elastoprotectin. The products help protect skin from the harmful effects of UV rays and shield against photoageing and blue light exposure

Elemis

Be among the first to try Elemis’s new additions to the Peptide4 line. Joining Night Recovery Cream-Oil is Thousand Flower Mask, a cooling and illuminating treatment with Nordic peat to help balance the skin’s acid mantle and lactic acid to gently exfoliate; and Eye Recovery Cream, with flower seed oils of star arvensis and night scented stock to improve skin elasticity. The brand will also showcase its 2018 Christmas collection.

Dermalogica fans can find out about new Rapid Reveal Peel, plus try out other recent launches such as BioLumin-C Serum and Sound Sleep Cocoon.

IIAA

For ANP, a new display unit will be unveiled to help accounts create more visibility of the supplements.

Payot

French skincare brand Payot will be at the show launching the new Blue Techni Liss line. Developed to offset the effects that exposure to screens, a lack of natural light and not enough sleep have on clients’ skin, the five-products – Jour, Nuit, Chrono-Smoothing Gel, Serum and Chrono-Renewing Peel Mask – work to tackle desynchronised skin biorhythms and mitigate the impact of blue light. The formulas contain chaste tree and horehound extracts to counterbalance disturbances to the skin’s metabolism, and both cross-linked and highmolecular- weight hyaluronic acids are included to have a smoothing and plumping effect on lacklustre skin.
