My Honest Take on the Lip Treatments

While the Peptide Lip Treatments tend to get the most buzz online, I’ve been much for impressed with the Rhode Peptide Lip Shape Pencil. It’s beautifully creamy and easy to use, but I’m still not completely sold on the texture of some of Rhode’s Pepetide Lip Treatments, hence why I’ve not yet featured them. I have tried a few, and a couple of them felt a bit crunchy in texture and overly sticky. They are well loved, but definitely not my top pick from the brand.

If you love that glossy-lip look but prefer a smoother, more cushiony feel, I’d genuinely recommend trying my REESON Glossing Balm* instead. I created it to deliver a high-shine, hydrated finish, with a softer, balmier texture. You can read more about it in my REESON Glossing Balm Review.

Where to Buy Rhode in the UK

Rhode is now officially stocked at Sephora UK* both online and in selected stores. You can also still buy directly from rhode.combut Sephora offers faster UK shipping and easy returns.

Final Thoughts

It’s so exciting to see Rhode finally launch at Sephora UK. It’s a brand that truly captures that clean, fresh, dewy-skin vibe we all love. I’ll keep updating my Rhode reviews as the line grows, but if you’re shopping the launch, those core skincare pieces are the ones to start with.

Venting Doesn’t Make You Less Angry. Here’s What Does

Venting Doesn’t Make You Less Angry. Here’s What Does

When you’re ticked off, it’s tempting to immediately text your mom or best friend to rehash all the gory details. But new research suggests that venting actually doesn’t work to help you calm down—and it may actually make things worse.

The findings contradict the way most people respond to anger, but taking a different approach can make a big difference in how you feel in the aftermath, Brad J. Bushman, PhD, study co-author and a professor of communication at The Ohio State University, tells SELF. “Just ranting about what happened with a friend is a bad idea,” he says.

Of course, it’s only human to have a reaction when you’re angry. So what’s the best way to work through this? Here’s what research—and mental health professionals—suggest.

What did the study find?

For the study, which was published in the journal Clinical Psychological Review, researchers analyzed 154 studies on anger that included more than 10,000 people. After crunching the data, they found little evidence that venting helped when people were upset, and that it may increase angry feelings. (You probably have a solid idea of what venting is, but Dr. Speakman says his team defined it as people expressing their anger verbally or physically, like kicking a punching bag, hitting a pillow, ranting, screaming, or swearing.)

The researchers also discovered that doing things like going for a run when you’re angry also didn’t help—it only kept people feeling worked-up. Instead, the only thing that brought anger levels back down was doing things that helped to calm and quiet the mind.

Why venting doesn’t work.

While venting is a go-to strategy for most people, there are a few reasons why it doesn’t work. “When people are angry, their arousal level increases,” Dr. Bushman says. “Venting just makes it go higher.”

Venting “doesn’t encourage things like problem-solving, taking a different view on things, and radical acceptance,” Aaron P. Brinen, PsyD, assistant professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, tells SELF. “It’s just continuing to fuel the anger and aggression,” he adds.

Venting also tends to go hand-in-hand with rumination, which is when you keep going over the same negative thoughts, Dr. Bushman says. “That’s like using gasoline to try to put out a fire,” he says. “It’s a very ineffective and destructive way to manage anger. It’s the worst thing you can do.”

What to do instead of venting

The big goal in the immediate aftermath of being upset should be to try to calm down, according to Dr. Bushman. “That’s why going for a run doesn’t work,” he says. “While it may be good for your heart, it’s not good to manage anger. It keeps those arousal levels high and anything that increases arousal is a bad idea.”

black cumin seed oil – HollyBeth Organics Luxury Skin Care

I’m constantly searching out new plants and oils to incorporate into to my products. Black Cumin Seed Oil, the newest weapon in my arsenal of powerful and effective organic ingredients, is hardly new. This ancient oil, derived from the seeds of the lovely Nigella Sativa flower, a member of the Buttercup family, has been a dynamic healer seemingly since the beginning of time.

Hipppocrates, referred to as the father of western medicine, considered black cumin a valuable remedy, while the first written reference to the oil can be found in The Old Testament. The prophet Muhammad stated that it’s “a remedy for every illness except death.”

Packed with over 100 beneficial chemical compounds, black cumin seed oil is a medicinal powerhouse. Studies show this wonder oil not only boosts immunity and treats a multitude of ailments, but it does wonders for the skin, hair and nails as well. It not only soothes psoriasis, eczema,acne, burns and infections, but it is a superb moisturizer, minimizing wrinkles and other signs of aging.

It’s also an essential component of my new Eye Serum. The latest introduction to the HollyBeth Organics skincare line fights signs of aging, dark circles and puffiness with an organic blend of black cumin seed, carrot seed, pomegranate seed and sandalwood essential oils.

TikTok Trends: Skin Cycling – skinfo

TikTok Trends: Skin Cycling – skinfo

Here we are, wondering about yet another TikTok trend and if it works. Gen-Z has had us try our fair share of internet trends, but Skin Cycling may have some good advice behind it. What is Skin Cycling, and how will it improve your skin? The concept derives from using active ingredients (exfoliants and retinols) on certain days, followed by rest days. Cycles can be anywhere from 4-6 days, the most common being four days. Adopting this concept into your regimen can be helpful because it keeps the barrier of your skin healthy and happy.

Advanced Dermatology has been suggesting something like Skin Cycling for years called CORE4. Exfoliant + Growth Factor + Antioxidant + Sunscreen = CORE4. The only difference is “Cycling” does not include Sunscreen since this is needed every morning. How can you do this at home? Let me suggest some CORE4 products that are suitable for Cycling!

Night 1 and 2: Exfoliation/Repair = Retinol/ Antioxidant—SkinMedica® Retinol Complex 0.5 ($80, 1 oz), Avène RetrinAL Advanced Correcting Serum ($78, 1 oz) or skinfo® Vital Tea Regenerate Serum ($82, 1 oz) Followed by an antioxidant—skinfo® Brightening Vitamin C Serum ($108, 1 oz), Epionce® Renewal Facial Lotion ($102, 1.7 oz), or Skinceuticals® C E Ferulic ($169, 1 oz).

Night 3 and 4: Growth/ Repair = Growth Factor/ Antioxidant—DefenAge® 8-in-1 BioSerum ($165/$198, 1 oz/1.5 oz), skinfo® Tri-Nourish Restorative Nighttime Bio-Therapy ($86, 2 oz), or Neocutis® Bio Serum Firm ($275, 1 oz) followed by DefenAge® 24/7 Barrier Repair Cream ($95, 1.5 fl oz), Epionce® Renewal Facial Lotion ($102, 1.7 oz) or skinfo® Brightening Vitamin C Serum ($108, 1 oz).

This process may seem complicated, so another form of skin cycling is to use your Retinol every other night and the growth factor every other night. This routine protects your skin from over-exfoliation.

Another method of skin cycling is alternating new product introduction. Sometimes people complain about their skincare plateau ineffectiveness. You can reach a peak at 6 weeks of using it twice a day or once a day for 12 weeks.

Let’s say you had your eye on two different expensive growth strategies, and you can’t decide between them (or you don’t want to buy both.) Let’s consider that you want to try DefenAge® 8-in-1 BioSerum ($165/$198 1 oz/1.5 oz) but are using Neocutis® Bio Serum Firm ($275, 1 oz). So then use the Neocutis® Bio Serum Firm every other night and introduce DefenAge® Serum every other night. You are using both but cutting the usage in half so you can afford both because they each last twice as long. Another method is to stop the Neocutis® and use DefenAge® twice a day for 6 weeks, then do them every other night. But with this method, you will wash out of the effects of the Neocutis® by the 6th week.

It isn’t clear whether skin cycling is beneficial as there haven’t been any considerable scientific tests. We try to make everything work in 1 day with the CORE4, plus it seems easier to be doing the same thing every day. Our lives are very complicated already! But if this idea interests you, stop by skinfo® so we can help pinpoint how you can safely cycle your skin!

How to Build a Sick-Day & Medical Kit for College Students

Be ready for colds, injuries, and “I don’t feel good” – even when far from home

Moving out or living away from home for the first time is exciting. So much freedom and adulting to look forward to! But what happens when your child is not feeling well, and you can’t come to the rescue? Help your young adult prepare for inevitable sick days and minor injuries with essentials to provide comfort and relief, giving both them and you, peace of mind.

This guide will help you and your child gather some essential items. Spend some time together working on the kit to customize their preferences.

Sick day essentials

When feeling unwell, it’s nice to have a few essential items on hand to assess your health and provide comfort.

  • Thermometer – A simple-to-use digital thermometer that signals a fever with a colour change or beep and displays temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
  • Hot/Cold pack – Versatile to use hot or cold for muscle aches, headaches, menstrual cramps. It can be stored in a freezer or heated in a microwave. Always wrap the pack in a towel or thin fabric to protect the skin and limit use to about 15 minutes at a time.
  • COVID rapid tests – at-home nasal swab tests for quick screening
  • Surgical masks – to help prevent spreading germs when sick or doing group work
  • Hand sanitizer – carry a small bottle to use when handwashing is not convenient
  • Electrolyte tablets/powder – for rehydration during illness or after exercise
  • Eye drops for dry eye – soothing relief after long hours on screens and late nights
  • Favourite blanket or comfort item – feels like home (even big kids need stuffies)

Basic medicine cabinet

Include medications for common illnesses. Having easy access to medicines – day or night – can help manage minor complaints promptly. Most schools have medical clinics and pharmacies nearby for any additional or more serious health needs.

Review the instructions and dosing for each item and make sure they are aware of the ingredients to avoid duplication when combining products. Advise them to check expiration dates and avoid using any medication past its expiry to ensure safety and effectiveness.

A pharmacist can help you select products that are safe and easy to use and will inform you of any potential side effects or interactions with other medications. Remind your child that they can call any pharmacist for free if they have questions – there’s no such thing as a silly question!

  • Pain and fever relievers – ibuprofen or acetaminophen
  • Cold and flu medicines
    • Day/night combo pack for colds can be helpful, but keep in mind:
      • Daytime formulas may contain decongestants like pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine, which can be stimulating and may increase heart rate, blood pressure, or restlessness in some people
      • Nighttime formulas often contain antihistamines like chlorpheniramine or diphenhydramine which can cause drowsiness
    • Cough or sore throat lozenges
    • Cough syrup – if it’s something you commonly use at home for relief. Otherwise, it can be purchased as needed at a local pharmacy.
  • Acne treatments – hydrocolloid patches, spot treatments, or prescription products
  • Allergy medication
    • For seasonal allergies or unexpected reactions to new foods or insect bites.
    • Use 24 hour non-drowsy formulas containing cetirizine, loratadine, or desloratadine.
    • EpiPen – if prescribed for severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis; replace if expired. They should teach roommates how to use it in case of emergency.
  • Anti-itch cream – mild corticosteroids like hydrocortisone are helpful for minor rashes, insect bites or other itchy spots
  • Anti-fungal cream – if prone to athletes foot or jock itch
  • Anti-nausea or motion-sickness medication
    • Ginger tablets can help with mild nausea and do not have side-effects
    • Dimenhydrinate can relieve nausea and vomiting but may cause drowsiness
  • Antacid for indigestion or upset stomach
    • Basic chewable formulas are effective for most situations
  • Anti-diarrhea medication – useful for individuals with sensitive digestion

First Aid Basics

Be ready for minor cuts, scrapes, and blisters with a basic first aid kit.

  • Bandages – variety of sizes
  • Antibiotic ointment – apply to cuts and scrapes, after washing with soap and water, and before applying the bandage
  • Tweezers – to remove splinters, disinfect before use
  • Alcohol wipes – to disinfect skin, tools, or hard surfaces

Important medical documents and contacts

Load a list of important contacts and images of medical documents in their phone, so they are easily accessible if they need to visit a pharmacy, dentist, medical clinic, or hospital.

  • Health insurance cards – front and back image
    • Provincial health card (a BC Services Card can be combined with a driver’s license)
    • Private insurance plan cards
  • Copies of prescriptions and drug information handouts
  • List of medical conditions and allergies, plus any treatment plans
  • Download London Drugs pharmacy app and link to their prescription profile so they can easily view their list of medications with images, read drug information, or order refills
  • Contact info for doctor, pharmacy, dentist, and on-campus medical services

Vaccines

Review your child’s vaccination record with a pharmacist or doctor to ensure they are protected against contagious diseases such as measles and meningitis – especially important if they are living in residence or other shared housing. Encourage them to sign up for flu and COVID-19 vaccine clinics on campus in the fall.

Prepare for a healthy school year

With a bit of preparation in the days leading up to moving out, your child will feel confident handling their basic medical needs or minor illnesses away from home. Remind them that a chat from home is just a phone call away – and so is a pharmacist. Encourage them to phone a pharmacist or visit a pharmacy if they need advice about their health, medications, or treatment for a minor illness.

Most pharmacies in Canada offer prescribing services for contraception and minor illnesses such as urinary tract infections, acne, pink eye, allergies, muscle aches, indigestion, and more. Many pharmacists in Alberta can also prescribe treatments for additional conditions including strep throat, asthma, diabetes, and others.

Why The Halo Is Celebrity Hairstylist Brittney Ryan’s Secret Weapon

Why The Halo Is Celebrity Hairstylist Brittney Ryan’s Secret Weapon

When working New York Fashion Week, whether backstage at runway shows or glamming celebrities attending the shows, you need speed, efficiency, and versatile styling tools. That’s why the Sitting Pretty Halo is my go-to. It transforms hair instantly without the stress of traditional extensions, keeping clients (and me!) runway-ready in minutes.

Styling Myself at NYFW: Fast Glam on No Sleep

NYFW means long days, late nights, and I am running on fumes around the city from client to client. I fly in from LA and go straight to work, or start at sunrise the next day. This year, my Halo was my saving grace for keeping my look put together and polished.

How I Style My Halo for NYFW

  1. Air-dry natural hair.
  2. Add a few curls with a 1-inch curling iron.
  3. Curl The Halo to match.
  4. Slip on The Halo and blend.
  5. Finish with a texturizing spray for all-day volume.

The result? Big, voluminous hair that doesn’t flatten throughout the day, stays secure while running around the city, and looks flawless. even when the wind hits. I have longer hair and don’t need a full head of extensions day to day, so The Halo is ALWAYS my go-to to keep my hair from falling flat throughout the day.

Styling Celebrity Clients at NYFW with the Halo

At fashion week, my celebrity clients usually have more than one event to go to in a day, so our changes have to be quick and easy.  When using The Halo, I can create multiple looks in a day without ever taking it out.

Example: A Full NYFW Day with One Halo

  • Morning Look: Using The Halo, I created voluminous “cool girl” waves for a full, effortless look to attend the Tory Burch show.
  • Afternoon Change: Without removing The Halo, I used a larger curling iron, and set the curls to cool. After, I brushed them out to create a softer look, then pinned it half-up, creating a 60s Brigitte Bardot look. The Halo helped create the volume I needed and didn’t show when styling the hair half-up.

Backstage at NYFW: Why Models and Stylists Love the Halo

Models, especially those who walk in multiple shows, are always worrying about their hair being damaged by the pull of extensions. That’s why they love Halos because it is gentle on their hair. No pulling or scalp stress as they get their hair restyled for each show.

Stylists and Artists love the quick install.  A Halo can be applied in minutes, and when you’re styling 50 models for one show, time is of the essence.

The Halo isn’t just for celebs; it’s a backstage hero that helps both artists and models keep up with the pace of Fashion Week.

Why the Halo Wins at Fashion Week

  • For stylists: Fast, versatile, damage-free tool to create multiple looks in minutes.
  • For models: Protects natural hair while withstanding constant styling.
  • For myself: The ultimate time-saver that keeps my hair looking fresh all day.

Whether you’re backstage at NYFW, glamming celebrities, or just rushing through a busy day, the Halo is my stylist-approved solution for effortless, runway-ready hair.

The Best Vegetable Soup

The Best Vegetable Soup

When my kids were little and I asked for their top three foods, here’s what they’d say: “Ice cream, pizza, and vegetable soup!”

There’s nothing fancy about this soup, but when you land on a formula that works—whether it’s a face cream that helps clear up dermatitis or a pot of soup that gets kids to gulp down tons of veggies—you have to share. This is the recipe my babies still love to this day, made with simple ingredients and massive amounts of LOVE. And the best part? Substitutions are always welcome.

Ingredients for the Best Vegetable Soup

  • 3 T olive oil (I use garlic-infused olive oil)
  • 2 T butter or ghee (omit if vegan)
  • 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 5 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 6 small potatoes, unpeeled and chopped
  • 1 cup shelled, frozen edamame
  • 2–3 teaspoons “Better Than Bouillon”
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
  • 4–6 cups boiling water
  • 1 parmesan rind (omit if vegan)
  • 8 kale leaves, ribbed and roughly chopped
  • 1 package extra firm tofu, cubed (1-inch pieces)
  • 2–3 teaspoons white miso
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste (wait until the end—bouillon and miso are salty!)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start the Base

Heat the olive oil and butter (if using) over low heat. Add chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes and stir to coat. Sauté for 8 minutes, then add frozen edamame and cook another 2–3 minutes.

2. Build the Broth

Stir in 2–3 teaspoons of “Better Than Bouillon” and coat the veggies well. Cook for another minute, then add vegetable stock and boiling water. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil.

3. Add the Umami

Toss in a 2–3 inch piece of parmesan rind to deepen the flavor. (We keep leftover rinds in the fridge just for this soup!) Omit if vegan.

4. Simmer to Perfection

Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 15–30 minutes. About 5 minutes before serving, stir in the chopped kale and tofu gently so the tofu doesn’t fall apart.

5. Finish with Flavor

Turn off the heat and stir in the miso and lemon juice until fully dissolved. Ladle into bowls and top with a little grated parmesan if desired. (This is your cue to fish out that rind!)

Make It Your Own

This soup is endlessly flexible. Sub in chickpeas, sweet potatoes, broccoli, or whatever’s hanging out in your fridge. Stir in cooked brown rice or quinoa to make it heartier. Freeze some for later—it reheats like a dream.

With love and a belly full of vegetables,

NEW COPPER PEPTIDE HAIR REGROWTH SERUM BY HR23+ ~ THE MALE GROOMING REVIEW

HR23+ Launches New Copper Peptide Hair Growth Serum: The Next Step in Scalp Health and Regrowth

Hair loss specialist brand HR23+ has just dropped its latest innovation — the HR23+ Hair Growth Serum for Hair Loss with Copper Peptide (30ml) — and it’s already turning heads in the hair restoration space.

Designed for men (and women) who take their hair seriously, this new serum delivers a powerful, non-medical approach to tackling thinning hair and early-stage baldness — and it’s built on one of the most talked-about ingredients in hair science right now: copper peptides.

A Natural Solution, Backed by Science

Copper peptides have quietly become a go-to in advanced scalp therapy, known for their ability to stimulate blood flow, repair damaged folliclesand extend the hair growth cycle. In short, they help create a healthier scalp environment where stronger, thicker hair can thrive.

HR23+ took notice of this growing body of research — and after countless customer requests — the brand decided it was time to bring the power of copper peptides into its award-winning range.  What’s more, they’ve combined it with the DHT blocker, saw palmetto.

Built on the Success of HR23+’s Existing Line

If you’re already familiar with HR23+, you’ll know their original Hair Growth Serum with Keratinocyte Growth Factor has become a fan favourite among men seeking a non-medical yet effective topical solution.

This new copper peptide formula builds on that success, offering a fresh option for guys looking to boost follicle strength, reduce sheddingand improve overall hair density.

HR23+ copper peptide hair growth serum product image

Lightweight, non-greasy, and easy to apply, the serum fits seamlessly into any morning or nighttime routine — no mess, no fuss, just results.

The Perfect Partner to the HR23+ Supplement

While this serum packs a serious punch on its own, HR23+ recommends using it alongside the brand’s best-selling hair restoration supplement for a complete inside-out approach to hair growth.

Used together, the supplement and serum deliver a dual-action system — supporting the follicles internally with key vitamins and minerals, while the topical serum works externally to strengthen and revitalise from the root up.

Why It’s a Game-Changer for Men

Let’s be honest — most guys want thicker, healthier hair without resorting to harsh medications or complicated treatments. The new HR23+ Copper Peptide Hair Growth Serum hits that sweet spot: it’s effective, easy to use, and free from minoxidil or finasteride.

With consistent use, men can expect to see improvements in hair texture, density, and overall scalp condition within a few months.

Final Thoughts

The HR23+ Copper Peptide Hair Growth Serum is a welcome addition to one of the most respected non-medical hair growth lines on the market. For men who take their grooming — and their hair — seriously, this might just be the upgrade your routine’s been waiting for.

The product is now available via HR23+’s official website and select retail partners.

Health and Public Safety Recommendations for the Reopening of Professi – Eyelash Emporium

By The Eyelash Emporium

At The Eyelash Emporium, we have worked hard over the duration of the lockdown to put safety measures in place, both in our offices and warehouse, enabling our staff to safely continue to support our valued customers.  We are here to help you plan for the safe reopening of your business so that you can return to work with confidence, which is why we are constantly reviewing the latest government advice and listening to our customers concerns so that we are providing up to date, reliable information and support.

Due to the nature of services provided within salons and the inability to maintain social distancing, there is a substantial risk carried to both clients and therapists when carrying out treatments in this viral environment. However, licensed professionals are already trained to mitigate these risks significantly through enforcing the existing health and public safety regulations and infection control measures.

The following recommendations, therefore, are enhancements to those existing rules to address the unique scenario presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the aim of taking all necessary and feasible precautions to mitigate the risk while still carrying out key services and treatments.

Recommendations:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Masks

Employers should provide mouth & nose covers for themselves and their employees, to be worn at all times when providing a service. These masks can be disposable or cloth and must be disposed of or washed properly. Face shields can provide additional protection but should not be a substitute for mouth and nose covers. Disposable masks should be made available to the customer and may only be used by that person, even in the presence of a protection screen/visor.

Visors

Visors should be worn as an additional barrier against infection where close facial contact is necessary or dust particles are produced such as eye and nail treatments. Wearing visors also helps to minimise natural touching of the eyes & face, which is heavily advised against by the NHS. Visors should be thoroughly wiped clean with disinfectant regularly, particularly after they have been touched or removed.

Gloves

Gloves are recommended, particularly in nail and facial services. Gloves should be worn for only a single service and hands wash thoroughly after they are removed.

Gowns / Aprons

It cannot currently be ruled out that corona viruses will be passed on through clothing. Disposable aprons made of fabric or plastic should be available for all therapists, particularly during treatments where the customer’s body has possible contact points with the therapist, such as massage and waxing. A new apron should be worn for each client.

Protective Screens

Protective screens can be used in certain treatments such a nail and hand treatments, which adds an additional barrier between therapist and client in the event of coughing and sneezing. Screens should be wiped clean with a disinfectant between each client.

Hygiene Practices:

Hand Hygiene

Proper hand hygiene is known to be an essential action to reduce the spread of the virus and should be done as frequently as possible, but always between each client, after eating, smoking and using the rest room. Hand sanitiser should also be made available for therapists and clients, ideally with a pump application to minimise surface contact. Clients should be asked to sanitise or wash their hands as soon as they enter the salon.

Disinfection

Existing health and safety practices require the cleaning and disinfection of implements prior to use and the disposal of porous implements after a single use. This practice should be vigorously adhered to and the following added:  Frequent disinfection of high touch areas including, but not limited to: door handles on main entrance and restrooms, restrooms, reception desk, point of sale (POS) equipment, Workstations (including foot/nail drying stations), displays. This can be done with either disinfection wipes or spray and disposable cloth.

Customer/Therapist Interactions

The following recommendations reduce the number of customers in the salon at a single time and limit interactions that could be of risk to both customers and therapists.

Appointments

All services must be scheduled with adequate time in between appointments to properly clean and disinfect working areas, wash or sanitise hands and change PPE. Customers should be asked to wait outside or in their cars until they are called for their appointment. Appointments for multiple therapists should be staggered to avoid more than one customer in the waiting area at any given time.

Payments

Cashless payment systems are preferred, but not required. If Point of Sale (POS) equipment is used and a patron must sign or enter PIN, the equipment must be disinfected after each use.

Workplace & Salon Environment:

Working Hours & Breaks

At the beginning and end of working hours, suitable organisational measures should be taken to avoid that several employees come together closely – for example, when clocking in or out, in changing rooms, washrooms and showers, etc. Breaks should also be taken at separate times and break rooms wiped clean and disinfected after each employee.

Distancing

It is acknowledged that social distancing recommendations of 2 meters cannot be met in the actual service itself. However, the following distancing measures can be instituted to reduce risk:

In order to be able to maintain a distance of 2m between therapists, workstations must be adjusted to accommodate this government recommendation.  Adequate freedom of movement must be considered. Only the respective customer and the responsible therapist may approach each other for the duration of the treatment.

Signage

Signage should be posted that states services will not be offered to or given by anyone who is sick or exhibiting signs of illness. Customers should be asked prior to a service if they have been sick or exposed to someone who is sick. If so, services should be deferred for 14 days. Health and public safety measures being taken in the salon should also be explained to the customers upon booking to make sure they are happy to adhere to these practices, for their own personal safety as well as their therapist.

Ventilation

Salons, including break rooms and rest rooms, must be adequately ventilated – even in bad weather. This reduces the risk of infection, as it may reduce airborne droplets in the air.

Items that we recommend should be temporarily removed from salons include: public coffee or water stations, magazines/ books / newspapers, sweet dishes, product testers/samples.
