💛 The answer: Ingrown hairs happen when hair curls back into the skin instead of growing out normally. Gentle exfoliation, keeping the skin moisturised and avoiding picking or squeezing can all help.

✨ Our pick: Lycon Ingrown-X-It Cream or Spray. These premium products help to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores and keep the skin clear, helping hairs grow through the skin normally and reducing the chance of ingrown hairs.

Perfect for keeping your skin smooth and healthy between hair removal appointments! 💛

💛 The answer: Electrolysis can feel like a tingle, pinch or heat. Everyone's pain tolerance is different, but most clients find it very manageable.

Over time, as the hair becomes finer and there are fewer hairs to treat, appointments can become easier too.

Who saw us in the Southland Express this week?!

The Answer:
Thinning brows are very common and can happen for a number of reasons. As we age, hormonal changes—especially during perimenopause and menopause—can slow hair growth and cause brows to become finer or patchy.

Other causes include years of over-plucking, certain medical conditions, stress, nutritional deficiencies, or some medications.

The good news is there are ways to help! Using a quality brow growth serum, keeping your skin healthy, and avoiding over-plucking can all support healthier-looking brows. Treatments such as brow tinting, hybrid tinting, or brow lamination can also create the appearance of fuller, more defined brows while your natural hairs grow.

If you've noticed a sudden or significant change in your brows, it's worth chatting with your GP to rule out any underlying health concerns.

✨ Every set of brows is unique, and we're always happy to recommend the best products and treatments to help you achieve your brow goals.

The Answer:
No—your nails don't actually "breathe." Nails are made of dead keratin cells, so they get their nutrients and oxygen from the blood supply underneath the nail, not from the air.

If gel polish is applied and removed correctly, there's usually no need to take a break. What often causes damage is picking, peeling, or improper removal, which can strip away the top layers of the natural nail.

If your nails are feeling thin or weak, it's worth giving them some TLC with cuticle oil, a nourishing hand cream, and having any gel professionally removed. A short break can also be helpful if your nails have been damaged, but healthy nails don't need to "breathe."

✨ Healthy nails come from good nail care—not from leaving them uncovered!

Choosing the right foundation isn't just about how light or dark your skin is—it's also about your undertone.

✨ Cool undertones have pink, red or blue tones.
✨ Warm undertones have yellow, peach or golden tones.
✨ Neutral undertones are a balance of both.

Once you've found your undertone, choose a foundation that matches both your skin depth (light, medium, tan or deep) and your undertone.

Test it along your jawline (not your hand), and check it in natural daylight. The right shade should blend seamlessly into your face and neck.

Not sure which one is right for you? We'd love to help you find your perfect shade with a professional foundation colour match. 💕
