Linda Meredith is a name you have probably already heard when it comes to leading skincare professionals, and if you haven’t yet… you will. It is no coincidence that Linda has worked on the beautiful faces of Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, Stella McCartney and Kate Beckinsale. She has been an expert in skincare for more than 40 years. Her philosophy is based around the knowledge that “staying young and beautiful for as long as possible is on every woman’s wish list”. Aside from her comprehensive list of incredible skincare for day, night, eyes et al, her mission was to develop her own skincare range with an effective alternative to Botox – her V-TOX cream uses algae derivatives to relax the skin. It also contains neuropeptides, and together with the algae, it surrounds the muscles with proteins to stop the skin contracting. In short, it’s a poison and toxin-free treatment, which lasts. The VTOX cream works, by helping the skin avoid conforming to expression lines when the muscles contract. To take this one step further, Linda created the ultimate V-TOX facial. This begins with the usual cleansing and steaming steps which precede lashings of VTOX cream, followed by pure oxygen blasts which help the product to infuse into the skin. The effects are quite astounding, and with continued use I imagine Botox lovers would convert in no time!
Another brilliant facial to beat the ticking age clock is theHyaluronic Acid treatment. Hyaluronic Acid was once labeled ‘the key to the fountain of youth’. And no wonder – a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in skin tissue – which surrounds collagen to keep it nourished and hydrated. As with collagen, it slows in production as we age (deep sigh) which in turn like a domino effect, affects collagen and elastin (double deep sigh). So Linda created a brilliant hyaluronic mask which helps to restore that plumped, young looking skin, by building up moisture levels beneath the surface. The mask is made up of a network of pure collagen fibres that resembles our skin’s structure, which is kinda sci-fi cool, especially given that the masks are developed under strict scientific criteria, being considered “Active” once the correct levels of HA are added. At Linda’s salon it is possible to incorporate the HA mask into a CACI session (a device which stimulates the facial muscles to tone the skin) This combination is a sure fire way to look like you have had a facelift in your lunch break, without a knife or a needle in sight!
