Nails feeling a little tired of gellish? Argania Spinosa oil (or Argan oil to most of us) is a miracle oil drawn from the Argania Spinosa tree, native to the semi-arid regions of Morocco. Full of fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, it helps to replace lost protein in nails, restore shine and condition dry, chipped nails, while strengthening them against environmental ageing.
The revolutionary Hey Gorgeous Derma Roller has been upgraded to an incredible 6-in-1 beauty tool, with three interchangeable titanium roller heads to effectively treat all your skin complaints (think everything from crow’s feet to cellulite!), plus a serum or facial oil of your choice.
The Hey Gorgeous rollers come in four sizes of tiny needles, which create multiple micro “punctures” in your skin as you use it – this painless process stimulates the production of thousands of new collagen fibres. This “micro needling” treatment is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), which helps to reduce wrinkles, scars, marks and pigmentation, while helping your skin to absorb moisturisers and serums more effectively.

Now is the time to hair mask! When your hair lacks moisture, it lacks shine, elasticity and bounce, making it brittle and harder to manage. Hyaluronic Moisture Kick rebalances and delivers optimum levels of moisture to even the driest hair, improving resilience, increasing shine and eliminating static. The result: perfectly supple, shiny and moisturised hair, full of elasticity and bounce.
Hyaluronic Acid Derivate is widely used in skincare, as it’s renowned for its excellent plumping properties, and acts as an efficient hydrating agent for long-lasting moisture. It has the ability to attract and hold moisture, leaving the skin nourished and supple. However, it also plays an important role in hair care. Hyaluronic Acid Derivate rebalances the moisture level of the hair and scalp. Cell Perfector Technology smooths the surface of the hair and brings beautiful suppleness, manageability, bounce and shine to each strand.
