Beauty FAQ - Bath and Body
Q. I want super-smooth legs, but I'm fed up with shaving all the time. What's the alternative?
These days hair removal can be quick and easy. For starters it's worth remembering to use a gentle exfoliator once a week to help prevent in-growing hairs. For fuzz-free legs for up to a week, try using Hair Removal Cream. It's great for using on your underarms and bikini area too. As part of your daily moisturising regime, use Soft & Smooth Hair Minimising Lotion. Its Slow-Grow Complex leaves hair less visible, softer and finer, so skin stays smoother for longer.
Q. The soles of my feet hurt but I don't want to give up my killer heels? Help!
If you insist on wearing high heel shoes, our Footworks Sole Support helps plump up your foot, as it helps to inhibit the breakdown of collagen so you can wear heels all day long.
Q. I love the idea of going to a spa for beauty treatments, but it's a bit too expensive. Are there any home treatments I could do myself?
Creating a spa in your own home is simple with a few luxurious treats from our Planet Spa range. Using ingredients from around the world, Planet Spa gives you the ultimate home spa experience. From Regenerating Body Polishers and Thermal Face Masks to Hand & Body treatments, there's something to pamper you from head to toe.
Q. I want pretty feet for summer without having to go for professional pedicures all the time. What can I do for a quick fix?
The Avon Footworks range has everything you need for a quick 'do it yourself' pedicure.
Step 1: Place your feet in a bowl of lukewarm water mixed with Soothing Soak to soften and cool
Step 2: Pat feet dry and buff hard patches using the Foot File, and then apply Moisture Cream
Step 3: Finish off with a quick spritz of Revitalising Spray for lasting freshness.
Q. I haven't got time to moisturise my whole body after every shower, but my skin dries out if I don't. What's the alternative?
Your skin might feel dry and tight after the shower as the protective barrier of oil in the lower level of the skin breaks down, and water evaporates from the skin. It's vital to lock moisture back in. Our Skin So Soft Dry Oil Body Spray is perfect, as it's quickly absorbed, doesn't feel greasy and leave your skin feeling silky soft.
Q. I've heard that using the same shampoo all the time is wrong because your hair gets used to it. Is this true?
No, it's not true. When you find a good shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair, stick to it. The only reason to change to another product should be if your hair type changes, for example with age or chemical treatments. The Advance Techniques range covers all hair types, so you're sure to find one that's right for you.
Q. I've always coloured my hair, but it snaps easily and looks dull after a few washes. What should I do?
It's important to keep chemically treated hair drenched with moisture by using intensive conditioning treatments. Try using our Advance Techniques Colour Protect Restorative Mask once a week, which will give your hair the nourishment it needs, helping to maintain its colour and vibrancy.
Q. I want poker straight hair, but have heard straightening irons are really damaging. Is this true?
Most heat based styling is somewhat damaging to hair, so it's best not to use straighteners every day. The important thing to do is use a protective spray, like our Advance Techniques Heat Protection Styler, that seals in the cuticle and protects hair from styling damage.
