We
all know how gruelling fashion week can be, and what better way to
relax between the shows here at Fashion Scout than getting a
complimentary beauty service at any three of the Bodyshop stands in
the media hub.
The
ever popular complimentary manicures and mini make-overs are back for
another season, and this time with the added perk of a skin
consultation stand which is proving more and more popular as the week
goes on.
We
caught up with Bodyshop's resident skin consultant here at Fashion
Scout, Shannon Mongan, about what goes on in her skin consultancy
booth.
What
is it about skin care that excites you?
I
know how it feels to have bad skin and insecurities about that, so
it's nice to help people and make them feel more confident. These are
such good products that aren't tested on animals so thats a massive
bonus.
We've
heard a lot of great things about some of the products in the SOS kit
from Lan Nguyen Grealis, what makes each kit so special?
They're
just brilliant, you can feel the difference straight away whereas
normally products take a while to work-with these the difference is
instant. You've got a couple of different kits hat cater for
different skin types and each of them is really great and nourishing.
What
can guests at Fashion Scout expect from a consult with you?
Obviously
we'll ask lots of different questions depending on the person's skin
and find out what's best for them and find out what they want and
need and direct them to what's right. For example the Vitamin C kit
is a range for radiance, so it's got a lot Vitamin C gives your skin
a radiant glow naturally for a length of time.
A
lot of people pass through Fashion Scout, is there a kit that you'd
recommend for most skin types or people on the go?
Well
the Vitamin E kit is for all skin types, and we also do a really good
Aloe Vera Face kit which includes Aloe Skin Soother-this has no added
fragrance or colours to it so I would always recommend that to anyone
because it's so gentle and soothing to the skin.
Is
this the place to be for anyone going through a mid-fashion week
slump?
yeah
definitely, obviously it's quite cold weather at the moment so it's
good to hydrate the skin, and a lot of people are very busy during
fashion week, it's just very easy and quick to do.
