Thanks to Bournemouth Chamber of Trade & Commerce for organising last weekās brilliant Christmas Party at The Cumberland Hotel. A fantastic night was had by all the Ferndown Business Network members. We are already looking forward to next yearās celebrations.
Not only was it a great party but the event also raised Ā£1,158 for Ferndown Business Network member Wessex Cancer Trust. ā¤ļø
Men should never shy away from daily skincare, as like women, their skin is susceptible to age spots, blemishes and uneven skin tone that deserves to be kept under control especially during the winter when temperatures drop. Your skinās health should be considered just as important as your health in other areas, so put aside any reservations you have about skincare and complete this winter skincare routine on a regular basis to avoid rough and dry winter skin.
CLEANSING
Many men start their skincare regime off badly by choosing to wash their face with a bar of soap. Although this removes unwanted dirt and oil from your face, it can be very harsh and drying on the skin. A great cleanser should not contain harsh chemicals or detergents that strip away essential moisture.
Ferndown Business Network member āDr Peterā has two different cleansers ā Infinite Hydrating Cleanser (Code 554) and Sonya Refreshing Gel Cleanser (Code 605) ā both are excellent cleansing solutions for men, and the decision on the one you use should be determined by your skin type (dry, oily or combination) and whether you have ageing skin. Once youāve chosen which skincare collection youāre going to follow, itās time to start using the products daily so that you instil a habit. Always start with the cleanser, cleansing morning and evening, then follow through with the rest of the products.
EXFOLIATING
The next step after cleansing is to exfoliate the skin. This will remove dead skin cells to make sure your moisturiser is penetrating your skin and working as effectively as possible. Aim to do this two to three times a week with Foreverās Smoothing Exfoliator (Code 559). This gentle exfoliator uses natural jojoba beads and bamboo powder to remove dead skin cells without harming the skin and added lemon essential oils which work as a rich moisturiser to hydrate the new skin beneath the surface.
MOISTURISING
Once you have removed dead skin cells, you need to add moisture back into your skin. Gentlemanās Pride (Code 070) is a great moisturiser to use each morning as it doubles up as an aftershave balm thatās extremely soothing on freshly shaven and sensitive skin. Feel the icy exhilaration of this unique blend of lubricants and moisturisers combined with pure, stabilised Aloe Vera gel. With conditioning agents like camomile and rosemary, this popular aftershave will leave behind a fresh and clean masculine fragrance thatāll last all day long.
Ideally you should aim to moisturise twice a day after cleansing but obviously an aftershave balm isnāt the best moisturiser just before bed. Instead weād recommend you give Infinite Firming Serum (Code 555) a go. With powerful natural ingredients and our patented aloe, this cutting edge and rich moisturiser will make your skin feel smooth and firm, and your complexion appear visibly younger.
Whatever products you choose, consistency is key. Establishing a regular routine for the winter months is necessary for long term skin health so try to stick to your skincare schedule daily for noticeable results that last the test of time.
Donāt forget that these products are available via āDr Peterāsā online shop (www.wessex-aloe.com) or by calling him on 07947 685785.
Just ask Juli started as an idea; I wanted to do something different; to work forĀ Ā a variety of people; to make peoples lives a little easier ā¦ so Just ask Juli was created.
Small businesses are under a lot of pressure at the moment and do not carry any extra staff so, when things become very busy, staff take holiday or go off sick, the implications are felt very quickly. This is where Ferndown Business Network member Just ask Juli comes in. Due to my extensive employment experiences (more about those later) I can help with a variety of tasks ranging from answering the phone, responding to emails to planning an event or managing social media campaigns. All you need to do is Just ask Juli! Iām happy to work for just a couple of hours to help you catch up, a couple of days or a couple of weeks ā¦ whatever you need to make a positive difference to you.
Many small companies are aware of the benefits of social media but many do not have the time, knowledge or inclination to āpostā, ālikeā, ātweetā or āre-gramā. I can take all of this off your shoulders and manage your social media on an ongoing basis.
Due to my employment history (yes more of that later) I can also help small charities. They, like businesses often run with the very minimum of staff and rely on volunteers so when something extra needs doing there isnāt always the personnel able to do it. Just ask Juli, and I can come in and help. I can complete funding bids for specific projects, help with preparation of documents, policies, role descriptions or plan a major funding event.
Finally, I would like to be able to help local people. People who have hospital appointments often have to face these alone but would prefer a bit of company. I can pick people up from their homes, take them to their appointment, stay with them while they wait and even have a cuppa with them before we head for home ā¦ all you need to do is Just ask Juli.
Now my employment history ā¦ I worked for a national publishing company in Poole for 18 years as a senior Production Manager, Iāve worked in several local charities and have been a Samaritan, am a presenter on a local radio station and am an avid dog lover!
So what can Just ask Juli help with? (list is not exhaustive)
So could I help you or someone you know? ā¦.
