Beauty Editor Giovanna Zac finds out the secrets of the Greek goddess Aphrodite and the best hair treatment for this summer. bitebeauty KYPRIS BEAUTY Kypris Beauty takes its name from the Greek goddess Aphrodite, who is famous for her beauty and love of nature. This love is at the heart of Kypris’ skincare creation, which blends nature’s best with high-performance green biotechnology. The collection is powerful, luxurious, organic, wild-crafted and sustainable. ANTIOXIDANT DEW This lightweight hydrator is a real treat for dry skin that soothes, glows and protects. Infused with beautiful ingredients, such as Sea Algae to hydrate, Amino Acids to smooth the skin and enhance natural skin glow, Waltheria Indica, or Sleeping Morning, a beautiful yellow flower known to soothe skin and anti-inflammatory and antioxidants rich in vitamins C and E, and Ferulic Acid, The Antioxidant Dew has a milky colour and texture. On application, it feels like adding a smooth, velvety layer on top of your skin. Immediately, there is a sense of freshness, with a few drops enough to bring glowing, softer, younger and healthier skin. This captivating white serum makes me feel closer to Venus (Aphrodite’s name in Roman mythology). BEAUTY ELIXIR I: 1,000 ROSES Rich Moisturising Face Oil All Kypris beauty elixirs are created to nurture and enhance the skin’s natural beauty. They are a sophisticated and luxurious treat for the skin and senses enriched with a unique patented process. Bio-identical CoQ10, vitamins C and E, and impressive organic oils suit all skin types according to their needs. The 1,000 Roses Elixir is specially created for dry skin. This rich moisturising oil is excellent for toning, soothing, and profoundly enhancing the most dry and dull skin, leaving beautiful, glowing, fresh, super soft, smooth skin. The adoring Bulgarian rose oil scent is captivating, luxurious, warming to the senses, uplifting, and irresistible. One or two drops are plenty to give my skin immediate beauty and sensual vibes. LIP ELIXIR BALM The ultimate sensual Lip Elixir Balm for dry and cracked lips is rich in natural coconut, jasmine and violet oils, infused with shea and cocoa butter, and sunflower and rice bran waxes instead of beeswax! Peptides and Sea Fennel Stem Cells deliver a super effective balm to restore beautifully hydrated and smooth lips. The texture of my lips is soft and lovely scented; it feels rich, fruity and delicious. I also found lipstick application is more manageable and smoother with this balm when using matte solid lipsticks, especially red. https://kyprisbeauty.com PHILIP KINGSLEY ELASTICIZER COLLECTION Philip Kingsley is a leading and renowned hair and scalp specialist with clinics in London and New York. They offer a variety of hair treatments, such as hair loss for male and female clients, scalp conditions, hair spas and fabulous hair care products to help restore or maintain beautiful hair. Their range perfectly covers any hair condition and issue. The newest Elasticizer Collection, created to combine the best moisturising and strengthening treatment for dry, damaged hair, offers all the dilutions from shampoo to finishing products. DEEP CONDITIONING TREATMENT Sicilian Lemon and Bergamot in a rich and deep pre-shampoo conditioner is perfect for boosting healthy hair, delivering intense elasticity, moisture and strength to all hair types. Beautifully scented with fresh Sicilian lemons, with a zest of bergamot and a warming vanilla base, the conditioner has an exquisite aroma to dream of, a real treat to the senses. Apply on wet hair, section by section, working and blending the conditioner using the fingertips. Cover with a shower cap and leave on for 10 to 20minutes before rinsing thoroughly, followed by your appropriate shampoo. From the first application, the hair feels healthy, full of shine, soft and manageable. Split ends are reduced, and my hair is less fizzy, less coarse and deliciously scented. Hairstyling becomes easier and longer lasting. The Deep Conditioner Treatment comes in various sizes, including refills, but I love the 1000 ml. BODY BUILDING WEIGHTLESS SHAMPOO The Body Building Weightless Shampoo has been created to lift fine, flat flyaway hair voluminously. The shampoo offers a gentle cleansing suitable for daily usage, specifically formulated with natural cellulose to plump and thicken the hair and keratin protein to improve strength and volume. It has a lovely creamy texture and feels light and non-greasy, leaving the hair well-cleansed, bouncy and manageable. After shampooing, I use the versatile 5-IN-1 TREATMENT for styling. I love this leave-in conditioner because it reduces frizzy hair, smooths out dry ends, and gives strength to the hair while adding shine. The silky, light serum is infused with Babassu and Olive Oil for nourishment and conditioning, with antioxidant vitamin E to condition the hair and the unique Elasticizer ingredients for beautiful, bouncy, silky, healthy hair. Apply a sizeable pea-sized amount to towel dry hair for best results, working each section from the middle length to the ends. Then style as usual. I found the 5-in-1 Treatment a perfect serum to help the hair, especially during wet and humid weather. It is superb as a styling product as it applies a small amount to the ends to help tame fizziness and flyaway hair. I can now have smooth, healthy-looking, frizz-free hair all day long. www.philipkingsley.co.uk
