The Lomond Clinic

With all eyes on you and photos 📷 that will live on in infamy, you’ll want to have a flawless face free of dry skin, blemishes, and other skin impurities. For delicate face skin, you’ll want to start prepping months in advance - most experts say six months prior to your wedding day is a good place to start. Beginning a daily beauty regimen by exfoliating, cleansing, toning, and moisturising morning and night can make a huge difference in the appearance of your skin. Although ...cleansing and moisturising might be the more obvious steps, it’s important not to skimp out on toning - toning will help restore pH balance, reduce the appearance of pores, and refresh your skin after cleansing. As far as products go, everyone’s skin reacts differently. Starting your regimen this far in advance will give you the chance to test different products to see which ones work the best for you. We ❤️ and recommend Environ. To enhance the effects of your daily routine, you can also opt for a monthly facial. Skin care supplements are also a great way to achieve the results you want. We stock a wide range of these from the Advanced Nutrition Programme and Skinade.
Although your wedding gown may cover a lot of area, that’s all the more reason to highlight the visible zones like your neck, chest, back, and shoulders. You can consider the neck and chest an extension to the face - the skin is just as delicate, if not more, and requires similar maintenance. When washing, exfoliating, and moisturising, make sure you’re hitting these spots as well. As for back and shoulders, exfoliate while in the bath or shower, and follow with a gentle cleanser and moisturising lotion daily. This will keep your exposed skin looking and feeling soft and smooth. We are also happy to perform back treatments to help clear up spot prone skin.
If there is one day in your life that you’d want to have beautiful hands, it’s your wedding day 💍 Prepare the hands for all of those close-ups and showing off your ring by using a moisturising lotion throughout the day every day, especially after you wash them. Try to avoid soaps that are prone to drying; this will protect against cracking, calluses, and roughness. A manicure 💅🏻or a pedicure on a monthly basis is an excellent way to prepare and de-stress for the big day. Paraffin wax can be added to both treatments, which is deeply hydrating and luxurious 💞

Nail problems
Nail problems aren't usually caused by anything serious. Common nail problems include brittle, loose nails that may change colour or shape. Your nails may change over time.
It's normal for nails to:... become thicker or break more easily (brittle) as you get older,
become harder, softer or more brittle during pregnancy (they should be healthier within 6 months of having a baby),
change colour, become loose and eventually fall off after an injury.
Fingernails that fall off after an injury should grow back within 6 months. Toenails can take up to 18 months.
Things you can do yourself There are some things you can do to help with common nail problems.
Do
wear rubber gloves if your hands are often in water or you regularly use cleaning products,
clean your nails with a soft nailbrush regularly apply hand cream to your nails and fingertips,
regularly trim your nails – it may help to cut nails after a shower or bath,
cut injured, loose nails back to where they are still attached – this helps them to grow back normally.
Don't
do not cut your nails down the edges – trim straight across the top to help avoid an ingrown toenail,
do not clean under your nails with sharp objects,
do not wear shoes that pinch your toes, especially when exercising,
do not bite or pick your nails or the skin around them,
do not ignore fungal infections on your skin – such as athlete's foot.
See a GP if:
you don't know why a nail has changed shape, changed colour or fallen off,
the skin around your nails has become sore, red, swollen and warm (paronychia) - this can be a sign of an infection or ingrown toenail,
See a podiatrist if your nails are too tough to cut or you can't reach them. We have appointments available with Karen our podiatrist on Saturday’s.
Please note that nail problems can sometimes be a symptom of a more serious or long-term condition and some medicines can also cause nail problems. Check the side effects of any medicine you're taking. It’s important to see your GP and not self diagnose.
Manicures, pedicures and specialised treatments available with Jill and Laura.

Vitamin B-12
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism as well as normal functioning of the immune and nervous systems. Also contributes to normal homocysteine (amino acid) metabolism and to normal red blood cell formation. It plays a role in the process of cell division and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
The Advanced Nutrition Programme products which contain B-12 are Skin Vitality 2, Metabolic Support and Nail Science. All of which are available #thelomondclinic

Dr Des Fernandes, founder and scientific director of Environ, says: "Aging skin is a direct result of sun-induced vitamin A deficiency. Correct the deficiency and you’ll have more radiant-looking skin."
Everything that defines healthy-looking, beautiful skin is a direct result of vitamin A. It is the only known molecule that helps keep the skin healthy and helps to provide anti-aging benefits.
A vitamin A deficiency could lead to skin abnormalities such as pigmentation irre...gularities, sun damage, aging, and skin cancer. The most common skin care problem in both men and women is sun-damage, and the long-term effects of sun exposure are sinister. In order for us to help combat this sun-induced vitamin-A deficiency, we must replenish vitamin A in our cells every day and for this process to be effective, we need to help restore the effects of our vitamin A receptors within the skin.
Vitamin A is the only scientifically known element that keeps skin healthy and combats the effects of aging. It has been proven that sufficient vitamin A:
Promoting the effects of the skin’s natural moisturising factor and gives it a radiant glow
Strengthening the effects of the skin’s outer layer to keep it looking firm
Stimulates the production of natural protein to keep skin looking healthy
Supporting the effects of skin’s immune system and helps prevent the appearance of breakouts
Assists in reducing the likelihood of the development of potential skin cancers, giving you greater peace of mind.
