ABT Snapshot December 2022

It’s beginning to

look a lot like….

At this time of year, even the most reserved of clients will push the boat out when it comes to their Christmas manicure. From snowflakes to sparkle, this season offers something for everyone when it comes to nail art trends. For those in need of some inspiration, Alice McNails, Ambassador for beauty booking app Booksy, shares some of her Christmas 2022 nail art designs…

“

Everyone likes to go for delicious rich shades at this time of year, my customers are starting to ask for a classic red, midnight blue, forest green, and all the glitter.”

“Classic designs always come back around at Christmas, candy canes, snowflakes, little presents, snowmen, and intricate holly and ivy details are forever popular. The 2022 take is to make these details 3D.”

“For a festive take on the classic French manicure, why not swap out classic tips and opt for festive tip nails with candy cane, frosted snow or Santa hat French tips in a sugaring effect.”

“My big 2022 predictions are that 3D snow globe nails, baubles, and the cat eye trend are all going to be popular - we’ll be seeing more 3D elements”

Dermalogica reveal their latest micro injury treatments

In an exciting development, professional skin care brand Dermalogica have launched their Advanced Treatments into the UK and Ireland, including micro injury anti-ageing therapies. We met with Dermalogica’s Dr Angela Murphy and Candice Gardner for an exclusive chat about their new treatment launches and how they can be incorporated into your salon treatment menu.

Why is Dermalogica launching advanced treatments?

There is a real desire for high-impact treatments that get a very fast result, and so we’re seeing a movement from traditional manual based treatment to be able to leverage technology in services, advanced product formulations, and really push the boundaries on changing skin and skin health and how we get there with the treatments that are available. So our newer treatments are designed to help customers on that journey but meet them where they are on their own personal skincare journey.

What types of treatments are you launching and what results can be expected?

We’re looking to launch a number of different treatments that leverage technology and also leverage product. Our Pro Nano Needling service really helps to resurface the skin, to refine textural issues in the skin, to boost luminosity and brightness. It’s a fantastic treatment that really energises the skin and gives the skin a fantastic glow. We also are introducing our Pro Microneedling service which is a micro injury service, and what is probably unique about Dermalogica’s Pro Microneedling service is that it also combines the use of peels, and that’s a key consumer desire and trend to combine different treatments to help amplify results.

Pro Microneedling is micro injury which is all centered around wound healing, and those types of treatments are really excellent for helping to rejuvenate skin, restructure skin, so brilliant for things like firming, also helping to address pigmentation changes in the skin, things like pores as well. There is a textural change on the skin but from a deeper level…this really helps things like lines and wrinkles and ageing concerns and skin strength…
