I am wanting to do a nail enhancement course & have been advised gel nails are better than acrylic - can anyone confirm this? Also does anyone know of anywhere near Huddersfield that do gel nail courses? I've been looking at CND as they have raving reviews, but as I work part time I'm wondering...

I am wondering if anyone can help me? We had a lesson at college where the tutor explained the causes for spots in certain facial areas such as jawline, cheeks, forehead, chin etc. I know some reasons were hormonal, digestion etc but cannot remember which reasons were for which area. If...

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm going back to see my dermatologist next week as my skin is a mess at the moment :0( I get that oil slick look & my make-up slides. Behind my ears & my face & top of my shoulders are all blocked & lumpy. Some lumps are so painful & don't get heads on them & last...

Hi everyone. I'm getting set for my holiday in 1 months time, but am sooooo paranoid about my days out in the sun with my greasy spotty face & neck on view. Since stopping taking Dianette for hormonal acne, my spots have returned & I can feel oil on my fingers when I touch my face. Last year my...

Thanks for your replies. It might be a trick question to be honest. But I'll answer the same as sensitive skin, which was my gut instinct with thinking of thread veins etc. But I'll also add to my answer that there are better methods of treatment for mature skin than the steamer & that will...

I am completing my workbook for the facial part of my NVQ Level 2. I have a question asking how long mature skin needs to be placed under the facial steamer & also the distance in inches from the face. It asks about oily, dry, sensitive & normal skin for which the answers can be found earlier...

Thanks Lynne i'll look this one up on google. I have been looking at gel formula's & were wondering if they would mask my skin & make it unable to breath. The Ultrasun looks good though as it's the one a day formula - although i never take that as gospel & tend to apply it a little more...

I went on holiday last year for the first time since stopping taking my oral contraceptive for control of my acne. Usually holidays are the time my skin seems at it's best. But last year my skin broke out in spots & loads of little blocked lumpy pores. I exfoliated & cared for my skin really...

Thanks for your advice. I did use the search facility, but it brought up loads of threads & non with a definitive answer. So I thought starting a new thread. Would get me the answers I was looking for. There are just so many fake tans out there (some of them awful). So thought it'd would be best...

I did the Fake Bake course yesterday & found the tan to be a good & not too orange colour. I also liked the fact the you blow dried after so that you didn't have to spend the rest if the day feeling sweaty or sticky. I want to be diplomatic, so before I rush out to buy it. I want to know what...

I know it's a complete sham of a course. I've complained loads & finally got my money back! I will be doing my level 3 somewhere else! I would love to come to one of your classes Kim, but not sure when you are back up north. I know your in Scotland, but are you doing anything nearer to West...

Hi all - i have done all my waxing assessments apart from bikini waxing. My mum is coming to the salon tonight for me & i have only seen one demonstration by our tutor which was last November! We have to be assessed using strip wax. Can anyone remind me step by step what to do? I know to...

I have just booked one treatment of Elemis tri-enzyme facial as i have open pores & acne scarring. Has anyone had one of these facials or use Elemis products? Are they any good? I have been use Dermalogica until now, but my skin seems to have taken a bit of a dislike to it recently. I have...

Thank you again! I know not everyone is hygenic, but our tutor makes everyone put their tools into a steam cleaner & then barbicide after. The only doubt I have is about the sponges, but mine are cleaned at home properly & I will only let people use my own sponges on me! We use Priadara products...

Thanks for everyone's help & understanding. It's great to know I'm not on my own. Zoe what tablets were you given? The doctor mentioned reaccutane, but that there could be bad side effects with this. But I'm quite desperate now! Having had bad skin since my teens & hearing the 'you'll grow out...

I'm training as a beauty therapist & at the moment my skin is terrible! I am in my mid-thirties & had previously been on the pill to control my skin. However last year i was told due to my age i could no longer take it. Since changing my contraception my skin is terrible again. I get quite...

Thank you for everyones advice & links all 3 books seem very comprehensive. I think I'll go to the local bookstore & have a look through all 3 if they have them & make my mind up from there. Thanks again everyone xxx

I'm looking to buy a book to help with my studies with colured pictures & diagrams etc in them. As they are all around £20.00+, I don't want to buy more than 1 or 2 books. Rather than waste my money can anyone recommend good books to help with my NVQ Level 2 Beauty Therapy Course? I am also...

Thanks for all your replies. I never thought i'd have such a laugh from one question, but it has to be said i've had a bit of a rubbish day & reading this post has definitely brought a smile to my face!!!! Rebecca :green: xx

I want to know how you can apply a tiny dot of nail glue to the nail when applying nail art? I tried to put a tiny spot on my nail using the glue container dropper, but loads flooded out & went all over my nail. Do i need a specific glue for nail art with a smaller dropper or do i need a tool...
