La Biosthetique is a new cleanser trial, I am doing at the moment. It is a fairly new one on me, although I am pretty sure I have heard it being bounced around from time to time.
On one of my regular waxing trips to my local beauty salon, set in the lovely honey pot town of Stow-on-the-Wold (a traditional hot spot for snap happy tourists) I came across this find with the help of my beautician. I came for my usual wax when I was complaining to her how awful my skin was and that it was an utter nuisance - having been around my birthday.
Bubbles is an amazing beautician and her skin looks absolutely incredible! She has an enviable, radiant complexion, that glows and you know she isn't wearing make up. We ladies do not share our ages beyond a point and all I will say is I want my skin to look like that in a few years. I had to ask what she was using and her regime, because as I lay there having my delicate bits waxed, I felt a bit cheated that my expensive purchases at Estée Lauder had not been giving me the effect I thought it would.
Bubbles exclaimed she was using the La Biosthetique skin care range they had very recently started to supply at the salon. I said I would have to try some when I was in pocket a bit more.
Maybe she took pity on me for my terrible swollen, red pimples that day but bless her heart, she gave me some cleanser to try for a month to see how I got on. It takes around a month to see any change when you first start using any product on your skin.
After around a week, I could already see a dramatic improvement, with my skin looking dewy and my little lines finer. My Clarins for oily/combination skin was too much for me and ended up drying my skin out, which inevitably leads to your glands producing more oil, giving you spots.
Having been obsessed with my Clarisonic brush as part of my cleansing routine as well - which I have mentioned on here before, was told i was over using it. I now use it once or twice a week for a good clean as it over stimulates your glands, producing more oil.
I have been back recently to the salon to purchase a bottle of La Biosthetique cleansing lotion, method relaxante that suits my skin type. It is similar to a cold cream and you only need to apply a very small amount to your face. Once applied you simply wash off with warm water. Or if you have a bit more time for a bit of pampering time, then leave it on for 5-10 minutes and steam off with a hot flannel.
This cleansing lotion aims to protect your skin with skin related lipids to stabilise the skins barrier. It will also restore the natural skin balance, soothe and calm the skin. It does what it says on the tin and I can tell within a month of using this that it is a winner, plus it smells really nice too, which I love and looks quite chic in the bathroom.
Enjoy your LA Biosthetique at your nearest salon and ask a member of staff to help find the best match to suit your skins needs.

Currently I have 3 hair salons under my belt that I like to visit, for different purposes. One of these that I use most frequently for my cut and colour is Graham West hair design, based in Fladbury.
This is my long term hair salon, that I have used for 4 years now. I always love going to pay a visit as the staff are amazingly friendly and treat everyone like royalty, with a warming greeting as soon as you walk through the door. You get a lovely sense of family there between the staff and clients.
Settled in the luxurious dressing rooms, nestled into the quaint quiet countryside on the outskirts of Evesham in Fladbury, I know I am in for a treat. The industrial park where it is located, is also very sweet if you have the time to have a nosy around;with antique stores for little treasures or music rooms if you're particularly creative.
Trying not to blow my own trumpet here but other than my hair always looking gorgeous when I leave, my other love for this salon is that they use Aveda products.
Aveda use the science of pure flower and plant extracts in all of their products, containing essential oils.
One of my favourite discoveries, advised to me by my hair dresser (and I am so glad she did) was a leave in treatment oil called dry- remedy, daily moisturising oil. It comes in a cute little brown, glass bottle and although this doesn't look like it will last you a week let alone the month, you are wrong! I have used this for 6 months now and I am just about to crack into my second bottle. I use mine every other day on my ends and when I wash my hair, which is about twice a week. You only need 2-3 drops depending on your hair length- no more, so it should last you around 3 months. This little cutie packs a punch as well; containing buriti oil which will leave you with a silky shiny mane.
I can hand on heart say the results are astonishing, helping to prevent split ends and promoting hair growth (my hair has grown 4 inches in the past 5/6 months). Your hair will feel silky and soft as soon as you apply it. Well it does say on the box that it instantly moisturises dry and brittle ends by 41%.
For £19.50 from your nearest Aveda salon I would say that is a bloomin' good bargain.
Now with this mythical oil, bad hair days may now be the myth in return.
