It's a photo finish for Movember


Who are these handsome chaps I hear you ask?

These are the men folk of VIE at home and for the past month they've been supporting Movember, growing a fine set of moustaches to support men's health cancer charities whilst generally moaning about how their hair growth is scratchy and how uncomfortable they feel.


Tomorrow it's all going to be removed and these boys have got some of the best products in the business to see off that facial fuzz. Starting with a little Flint Edge Facial Scrub to soften the bristles, Flint Edge Shaving Cream for the ultimate close shave and a little spritz of the Flint Edge EDT to attract the ladies back (especially the hairier specimens who've scared them away in the last couple of weeks)

Bad skin days? What bad skin days?

According to a recent British Beauty Poll the beauty worry that affects us British Women the most is bad skin days (bad hair days are a thing of the past). An outstanding majority of women now say youthful-looking, even-toned skin is their most desirable beauty need (citing Jennifer Aniston as one of the most favoured modern faces).

So what are the tips to clearer, younger looking skin? As always diet is fundamental in how your skin looks - if you've had a manic weekend, the signs will show on your face today. As we approach the more hectic December months, here's a few Skin Care tips to help enhance your skins appearance for those all important Christmas Party's;


1) It's all in the eyes, so protect them day and night with our Round The Clock Eye Care. This dual purpose product will soothe eyes as you sleep, and refresh them in the morning keeping the secrets of the night before safe.

Not another naked celeb ...



No not that kind ... here's this year's belle of the ball, Strictly Come Dancing star Kara Tointon going Make Up free for this weeks edition of Heat magazine. After several weeks of plying the exotic make up colours on, Kara was more than ready to strip back the foundation and eyeshadows to reveal her natural glowing skin.

So what's the secret to glowing skin like Kara? Well to strip back heavy make up, investing in an excellent cleanser is key. Start off with a make up remover like our Everything Goes Eye Make Up Remover, which is guaranteed to remove even the most stubborn of Make Up. Then follow with a deep cleansing solution like our Seventh Heaven Cleanser. This includes a muslin cloth to help exfoliate whilst delivering deep down cleansing that leaves skin feeling squeaky clean.

Add a toner ... Why? Well this help will remove any last traces of cleanser to leave your skin feeling refreshed. We think Kara would love our Pure Delight Skin Tonic to help soften and moisturise skin (ideal after the harsh studio lights at the BBC1 Strictly Come Dancing studio). Finally add a day cream like our bestselling Cloud 9 Day Cream, this will quench skin and lock in moisture.

Ready for the heat magazine camera's? With a smooth layer of our Prime Time Face Primer to help eliminate shine and give skin a smooth soft focus effect, you'll be ready for anything!

Burning the candle at both ends?



It's the image that's making headline news today ... poor Ann Widdecombe was last night cruelly photographed on her way home after another day of Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals. Another week of being voted in and a campaign to make her the overall winner, it doesn't sound like Ann will be leaving our TV sets anytime soon, so here's some tips to help overcome fatigue and keep on dancing ...

Drink plenty of water: A dehydrated body will function less efficiently and makes it almost impossible to perform those elaborate dance moves.

Get enough sleep: Snatched slumbers on the train will not count as good quality sleep, so make bedtime count. Try spraying your bedroom with our Sweet Dreams Pillow Mist to help promote a good nights rest.

Promote relaxation: All the stress leading up to Saturday's big show is no doubt playing havoc with Ann's nerves. So try a remedy like our Stay Calm Rollerball to help keep your wits about you.

Start the day with a good breakfast: It will set you up for the day ahead and ensures your energy levels don't dip.

And finally ... for those poor tired feet, treat them to a home pedicure with our Exfoliating Foot Scrub and Intensive Feet Treat Balm. Just what feet will be crying out for after a full days dancing.
