This week's product and treatment recommendations with the tip of the week
TREATMENT OF THE WEEK
Matis Total Youth Beauty Treatment, €85 from Touche Éclat at the Radisson SAS, Ennis Road, Limerick (061- 326666). A 90-minute facial with instant results, with plenty of incredibly relaxing shoulder massage included. In addition to cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising, a mask that includes Royal Jelly as its magic ingredient is spread over the face and left to become rubbery. Once removed, the vitality imparted on the skin is revealed.
TIP OF THE WEEK
Hands up When having a facial or other expensive salon treatment, ask the therapist to rub any excess product onto your hands. They see as much environmental exposure as the face, and yet seldom get anything more than a blob of hand cream.
PRODUCT OF THE WEEK
Estée Lauder Pure Colour Cool Eye Mousse, €20 each from counters countrywide, from June 7th. A limited edition treat for summer, each of the five little jars houses a different pearly eye colour (favourites are the green "Kiwi" and the orangey/pink "Melon"). What makes this product unique is the incredible cooling sensation upon application.
