WE'VE been wrapped up in woollies and staying indoors through the winter, but now, like butterflies, we want to emerge and feel the sun on our faces. Getting out and about and looking good in the spring sets us up for the rest of the year, so spend a bit of time now taking care of all those things you’ve let slip, and step into spring with confidence.
Cecilia at Monroe Beauty appreciates that many of us lead busy lives, but we still want to look good, so we need stress-free beauty regimes. Cecilia is a working mum whose time is precious and who knows the advantage of non-smudge brows and lashes. She specialises in semi-permanent make up and beauty treatments, and offers eyelash lift and tint, and eyelash extensions for a full or natural look.
Bespoke facials include Dermaplaning, which is a method of exfoliation that gently scrapes off the top layer of dulling, dead skin cells, in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion; and a selection of Hydrojelly masks, depending on skin type.

Simply Radiant Aesthetics Ltd is currently managed and owned by Carly and Natalie, who are degree-qualified nurses. Both offer a range of treatments from Dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation, and laser hair removal.
Services include fillers for lips, marionette and naso-lines, cheeks and jaw; while line-relaxing injections will improve crows’ feet, glabella and forehead. Dermaplaning – or exfoliation – removes excess fine hairs which are known for trapping the dirt, oil and dead skin cells in pores that are the main cause of acne and blemishes, and helps skincare products penetrate the skin and improves their results.
