Don't forget to take Time Out
Even if you don't manage to get away for your summer break, don't forget to take some time out for yourself. I'm going to try to listen to my own advice here and have a couple of days away from the salon to recharge this month. I might try to rediscover Southport - I can't remember the last time I walked along the beach or walked in the pinewoods.
We're finally getting back into the swing of things at the salon and it now feels like we've never been away ~ We're loving it!
Thanks if you've given a review recently. I've had multiple new clients this month who have said they chose Fusion because of online reviews. It's really impacting our little business.
Thanks also to those clients that have kept us safe by letting us know when there's been a risk of their being in contact with a covid-infected person. We know it's difficult to stay away from the salon, especially when you're not testing positive yourself, but we sincerely thank you for your vigilance in self-isolating. We are very aware that it could just take one infected person to shut us down again.
This month's newsletter brings you info' about our newly launched online shop and some new products and services that will hopefully keep you body beautiful for these summer months. Learn how to dry brush your skin and discover facts about SPF products.
Enjoy and I hope to see you soon

Dry Brushing at Home
With its multiple benefits, dry brushing is making a big comeback
Your skin is your largest organ, so it deserves to be tended to properly. In our quest for optimum skin health we often focus on the face alone without giving much of a second thought for what we put on and do to the skin of our body.
What is Dry Skin Brushing?
It’s pretty much how it sounds. Using special hand-held brushes on dry skin to bring about a range of benefits. The brushes are made with bristles that are rigid enough to bring about benefits without causing micro-tears in your skin or causing damage.
So, what’s the big deal?
It’s easy and affordable to get started with. You just need to follow a couple of instructions for treatment to not only improve the appearance and feel of your skin, but have benefits on the deeper structures and systems of your body.
Depending on where you apply Dry Skin Brushing you can expect the following…
-
Exfoliation
-
Pore cleansing
-
Improved skin condition and appearance
-
Detox
-
Cellulite reducing
-
Improved blood circulation
-
Reduced water retention
-
Mood lifting

- SPF facts & myths
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and relates the level of protection against the effects of UV (ultra violet) light: skin damage, pigmentation, ageing. Here are some facts and myths about SPFs.
FACT - There are two types of sunscreen: chemical and physical.
Chemical SPFs are easier to apply, don't tend to leave a residue on the skin and contain ingredients which absorb harmful radiation and dissipate it.
Physical SPFs work like a shield by sitting on the surface of the skin and, with help from ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, deflect the sun’s harmful rays.
You wont tan if you wear sunscreen
MYTH - Even if you apply sunscreen repeatedly while being in the sun, you will still get tan. If you don’t want to tan, using physical UV protection by covering up is more effective than sunscreen.
FACT - SPF products should be thrown out as soon as they pass their use by date because the chemicals in SPF products that block the sun decompose, making it ineffective.
The higher the SPF number the less often you need to reapply
MYTH - The SPF number relates to the level of protection but even SPF50 products need to be reapplied every couple of hours to ensure good sun protection.
If you are looking for a high quality SPF that is fine enough for your face, wont block your pores or irritate your skin and offers high SPF50 protection, Epionce Ultra Shield is a great choice. Available online or you can order through Fusion-Southport for a lower cost.

Your skin isn't coping with natural bacteria on its surface. Your past approach has probably been to strip it dry. Whilst this dehydrates your blemishes and makes it feel smoother on day 1, suddenly it starts to get worse as your skin starts to produce even more oil to try build up your natural protective skin barrier again. You skin is trying to protect you and doesn't care that you've got a blocked pore or acne pimple!
Epionce takes a tried and tested different approach in which it treats the deep skin's layers so that you treat the newly forming skin rather than the surface. By investing in a clinically proven range of products you are not treating your skin for today, but rather building strength for the months ahead and ensuring that it can cope with superficial natural bacteria.
If you're hesitant with a purchase either come in to the salon for a full skin analysis with Lisa or try our sample size products.
