In your face: tabloid!’s beauty news

Let’s kick off with great nail news: If you’re in Arabian Ranches or Motor City, you’ve got a new Nail Spa (it’s at the Golf Club there). They’ve got the chain’s great service, new business-class-airline-style seats and a brand-new paraffin treatment we’ll be previewing next week. Call 04-4522262. Still on nails, if you haven’t done a Ciate caviar manicure, don’t forget you’ve only got until the end of August to get a professional apply it at Sisters Lounges. Or do your own look with brights from CND’s summer-colour range, Dh22 each, at spas and salons. Bobbi Brown’s autumn make-up range includes a great turquoise, inspired by the twilight desert in the American southwest. “You don’t have to match your nail colour to your make-up,” Brown says. “It’s more modern to use colour on the nails as an accent or an accessory.” The polish is Dh95, and also try the double-duty Creamy Colour for Lips and Cheeks in Pink Truffle; it gives a sheer flush on cheeks and a shine on lips. For Dh110. If you’re feeling the heat (who isn’t?), try Phytomer’s new Hydrasea Ultra-Moisturising Polarised Water Serum. Containing extracts of algae, it sounds like a certain other moisturiser that comes from the sea, but with a significantly smaller price tag. We like that it’s a light serum, good for moisturising skins that are thirsty but can’t handle a rich cream, and for those who need an extra moisture boost. They say your skin will be 88 per cent more hydrated after two weeks of use twice daily before your usual moisturiser. It’s Dh225 for 30ml from PHYTOMER spas.
