A Lot of women really like a hairy chest. In fact, it’s often mentioned as one of the most “sexy” parts of a man. However, a lot of women really don’t like a hairy back. And I mean really. There’s something about a hairy back which is unappealing, and if you’ve got hair sprouting in this area it could be a real worry. Luckily, there’s a solution which is painless, quick and effective – and doesn’t involve razor blades (not sure I’d trust myself trying to shave my back to be honest!)
Laser hair removal isn’t just for women’s legs and bikini lines. Experts tell me that more and more men are opting for the same type of treatment to treat unwanted hair on their own bodies. In fact men now make up around 15-20% of a clinic’s laser hair removal patients.
Whilst having the word “laser” in its title may be enough to scare a bloke off the treatment, it’s actually very easy and straightforward. The treatment involves targeting hairs with pulses of heat from a laser. This damages the hair follicle until the hair stops growing. The good news is that over time, and after a series of sessions, hair growth will significantly slow or even stop altogether.
A session lasts roughly 30 minutes per treatment and you’ll need around eight treatments to get fuzz free and feeling sexy once more.

Look the part, command respect and get the job you want with a business look which is on-trend for 2015. This includes your hairstyle, and while you may think it’s only clothes which come in and out of fashion you need to think again. A smart, on-trend hairstyle can do you favours in so many different ways – from getting that promotion, winning that contract and even dating that hot colleague.
What makes a good hairstyle for business? Well, it’s got to be clean cut, a little conservative, and relatively easy to style. That’s why this short back and sides, with slicked back styling really fits the bill in 2015.
The haircut has a long top and short sides for easy grooming and the pomade or wax product used has a natural shine finish that is appropriate in a formal and casual setting. Great for when you go for those after-work drinks…

If you’re under the age of 55 then you’ll be familiar with the term “metrosexual” and will be used to starting the day with a bit of moisturiser, post-shave balm or even a bit of hair removal and eyebrow plucking. But this wasn’t always the case. It’s only in the last 10 years that sales of products for men have took off.
The male UK skincare market is worth an estimated £600m and thanks to TV shows such as The only Way Is Essex and Embarrassing Bodies more and more men are happy to be plucked, injected and groomed than ever before.
So where do you begin if you want to start fighting the signs of ageing and getting groomed? Here are some products which aren’t too fancy or complicated and will suit the man who wants a great overall anti-ageing regime with as little fuss as possible.
Exuviance Multi-Protective Day Fluid SPF 15
Men love this straight-forward, no-nonsense lotion because it performs all the basic tasks in one cream. This light daily anti-ageing fluid is formulated to hydrate and retexture skin, helping to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, while revealing brighter, younger-looking skin. Ingredients have been scientifically proven to work and so results will be more effective than a cheaper high street brand.

No7 for Men Protect & Perfect Intense anti-ageing moisturiser
This is a very hydrating product for men who have dry skin and wrinkles. If you work outside and are battered by the elements or your skin is sore and dehydrated from air conditioning and central heating then this could be for you.

Nivea for Men Energy moisturiser
For a decent budget lotion you can’t go wrong with Nivea’s Energy moisturiser. If you like to work hard and play hard but your lifestyle is leaving your skin looking dull then this daily face cream will actively revitalise, strengthen and protect tired, stressed skin leaving it looking energised, fresh and healthy.

I’ve always tried to have a global outlook to everything I do – as a New Zealander working from London, who travels to beauty shows around the world – I think beauty, aesthetics and health is a worldwide issue. So it was brilliant to be interviewed by The Times of New Zealand recently.
As plans to launch the MyFaceMyBody Awards in Australasia motor ahead and my TV presenting career grows in America getting opportunities to talk about the business is really exciting.

I’m still reeling from the success of this year’s MyFaceMyBody awards – we knew it was going to be the biggest yet – but what we didn’t expect was the gigantic reaction from consumers, the media and industry professionals. This year’s awards have exceeded all expectations – so thank you to everyone!
The latest record this year’s aesthetic awards have broken is for our TV show of the event. Sky Channel 254 aired the program on Sunday 16th November and we have been celebrating its success today! With over 20,000 consumers voting for their favourite aesthetic brand, clinic and experts we knew we had a popular awards but when we were told that the TV show beat the viewing figures of our previous years we were over-the-moon.
Having an awards for the aesthetic industry which is supported by consumers is very important to me. The people who use the products and services being able to tell the industry who they think are providing excellent services is how it should be – they are the real experts as to whether the treatments work. It also means so much more to the clinics and international aesthetics’ experts to know that they have been chosen by their customers not their colleagues.
If you missed the TV show you can now VIEW IT ON YOUTUBE.

It was an evening filled with the brightest celebrities and best experts from the international aesthetics industry – the MyfaceMyBody Awards were a huge success. While the newspapers and media (and myfacemybody.com) have all the news and pictures there’s nothing like actually being there. That’s why we filmed the event to be screened on Sky TV!
The MyFaceMyBody Awards 2014 will air on Sky 254 at 8.30pm on the 16th Nov. It’s really exciting for me to do this as it will give a national audience to the Awards and allow an international audience to view our industries most prestigious event!
Meanwhile we have made a trailer – you can view it n YouTube HERE.
