Winslow Skincare Serenity Winter Showcase - 1st Dec 2016

What is your skin concern? Do you suffer with acne or rosacea? Or maybe you just want healthy, glowing skin that gets noticed?

If any of these problems resonate with you, then help is at hand and there’s a perfect opportunity to find out more at an event at Ockenden Manor, Cuckfield in the next few weeks.

Winslow Skincare, started by Cuckfield resident Maria Winslow in 2012, has an ethos that seeks to educate clients about their skin, treating it from the inside out.

One client put it like this: “I went to have a facial and ended up with so much more. The advice you have given me and my two daughters these past few months has been just fantastic and will set them up for their future years.”

“Most of us,” Maria comments, “would like to have young looking skin, giving off that luminous and ‘blooming’ look and feel. What we do is help clients understand how to look after one of their body’s most precious, and noticed, organs.”

One of the core reasons why a treatment at Winslow Skincare is different from your usual spa day treat is down to the expertise of the team. Maria is joined by Clare White and her daughter Elle. Maria and Clare are two of only 200 Dermalogica Skincare Experts in the UK. Maria is an absolute expert in her field and Clare has over 15 years experience in the industry and joined the clinic, which operates from The Perrymount Natural Health Clinic in Haywards Heath, earlier this year. Elle Winslow is a specialist in CACI (a non-surgical face lift treatment, pronounced kay-see) which can be used to target lines and wrinkles to revitalise and tone facial contours.

Mary said: “After just three weekly CACI sessions with Elle, I noticed the difference when getting ready to go out for the night. The skin above my eyes was much firmer and more taut than usual. Everyone at the party commented on how well I was looking too.”

Winslow Skincare is holding another of its popular Showcase events at Ockenden Manor on Thursday 1st December, starting at 6.30pm. “The evening is not only a ladies night out but will provide an opportunity for you to learn more about your skin too,” Maria said. “Plus in this pre-Christmas event we have an amazing florist who will be showing us how to make our own Christmas floral arrangement in a special demonstration too.”

Spaces at Winslow Skincare’s Winter Showcase are extremely limited. Tickets cost just £20 and include canapes and a glass of Prosecco on arrival at the exclusive hotel. All guests will also take away a goody bag with more than £60 worth of Dermalogica products, offers and discounts inside it.

Oliver Cunningham - high end hair salon - comes to Cuckfield

There’s a new hair salon coming to the High Street in Cuckfield this month.

Oliver Cunningham will be opening its doors in the shop which was formerly Nicky C Lifestyle. “The visual look of my new salon is going to be classic with an eccentric twist, mixing period features with quirky pieces,” Oliver (right) commented. “I want my clients to feel at home in the space; not imposing or intimidating, more like a relaxed private members club or boutique hotel ambience.”

Oliver has been running his own salon in an exclusive and private location elsewhere in Sussex for the past three years but has now decided to grow the business and venture on to the High Street.

“I love Cuckfield. It is most definitely one of the prettiest villages in Sussex. I think it’s perfect for us. It’s very central for all our clients from London and Brighton. I hope to make the village proud and add something a little different to the already beautiful scattering of shops,” Oliver said.

All the team of stylists in the Cuckfield salon are London-trained and had long careers at elite salons.  The opening times initially will be Monday to Friday 10am-6pm and Saturday 9am-5pm. 

Bolnore Village Primary School parents run for a life-saver

View fullsize

Bolnore Village Primary School wanted to have the safety of a life saving defibrillator on site and so asked the parents group – Friends of Bolnore Village Primary School (FOBVPS) if they could raise the funds.

Co-chair Amie Cheverst said: “We thought it was a great thing to get involved in direct fundraising for, and this time we felt we could appeal to the parents and community.”

Earlier in the month ten mums from the school competed in mud & obstacle events, crawling through the mud under barbed wire and wading through stench trenches up to our shoulders

The team event has so far raised £885! The fundraising is still open and all additional money is to go to first aid training for parents and carers and defib extras if we raise enough! www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/Bolnoreschooldefib

Amie commented: “We hope that no one at our school or community needs to use the defibrillator, but we can all feel better knowing that we will have this amazing life saving equipment in our school soon.”
