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.

It's great to be back!
Thank you for the warm welcome back. It's been a joy to see those of you that have managed to get in to the salon.
In addition to the returning clients (that have been greeted as dearly missed friends) it's been incredible to see the 15+ new clients join us in just the last three weeks! If you've recommended Fusion to someone - thank you so much.
I am now in the salon most days as well as evenings and Sundays so there's always a slot for your treatments. Don't put it off... book some rejuvenating therapy now while you're thinking about it.

Covid-19 related news
On her recent visit to Fusion, a client informed me that there are no new cases of corona virus in Southport hospital where she's spent a heartbreaking year nursing covid patients. This is encouraging news but it also reminds me how easy it is to forget the trauma of the last 12+ months unless you've been directly affected by the pandemic. The detrimental effects are all too clear to see in the physical and mental health of medical staff and carers. A number of hospital staff have been to see me for treatment, with anxiety, stress, facial sores (from needing to wear masks tight to the skin for long periods) and overall fatigue, and it's a privilege to bring some much needed remedial therapy their way.
We are now well-rehearsed in controlling movement through the salon, Treatment rooms are booked out alternately, so ensuring that there is sufficient time to disinfect and air each room well in-between use. For this reason I am no longer sending out texts to let you know when it's safe to enter the salon.
If you or a loved one remains anxious about being out in public remember that we are open for health and beauty treatments most evenings plus Sundays, when the rest of the salon is much quieter or closed.

Mesotherapy for Hair Loss
Coming June 2021
30% of women under 40 will experience hair loss, increasing to over 50% of women over the age of 65.
I introduced facial micro-needling (AKA collagen induction therapy) and meso-therapy (injections of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, stem cells and plant extracts) last year and it's been a proven winner for improving skin health, texture and appearance.
Next month hair loss mesotherapy will be added to our list of services. This is a cutting edge stem cell therapy treatment.

Massage Corner
- Indian Head Massage
This treatment doesn't involve dressing up as an Indian squaw nor does it involve dancing around a client chanting to the gods of stress relief.
This seated massage treatment has been adapted from traditional Asian Indian family scalp massage where grandmothers would take care of their grandchildrens' hair using nourishing oils and plenty of stimulating massage to promote healthy hair growth (a cherished sign of health) and maintain health by balancing chakras (energy flow).
Europeans adapted the treatment for an incredibly deep, stimulating and stress relieving treatment. It fast became a favourite of people who didn't want to get undressed or climb on a treatment couch for a massage, or wanted to be able to pop to see their massage therapist for a lunchtime quick fix.
I was fortunate to train in this treatment in London in the 1990's when it was still in its early years of development; when healers travelled from India to England to share their traditions.
If you've never had a massage before or if you're shy about taking your clothes off for a massage - this is for you.
Fusion offers 20min and 40min Indian head massage sessions. During this seated treatment the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face are massaged using a blend of oils tailored to your needs.
Book your own Indian head massage or treat someone who could do with some deep relaxation therapy....
