A pioneer in natural products, Shine Hair And Beauty offer relaxing beauty treatments and hairdressing that cuts to the chase, finds Zara Baker

It’s situated in the heart of the bustling North Laine, but a calmer world awaits just through the glass doors of Shine Hair And Beauty. Shine is a hairdressers, but it is also a beauty salon. Forget the image of noisy chatter over hairdryers blasting out hot air. OK, there are hairdryers on the go, and there is chatter among clients and stylists but, perhaps because of the aromas of Aveda products you are enveloped by on arrival, a relaxing atmosphere pervades.

Drink up
The bottles of water that just didn’t cut it during those cold winter months(a hot chocolate was the only way to go) are now easier to handle. The weather’s – a touch – milder, the evening’s lighter, meaning we feel happier, have more energy, and find the clear stuff easier to guzzle down. But what about other natural drinks out, providing energy as well as great taste? The month of March has seen Clipper Teas and Firefly Natural Tonics become firm favourites here at Latest Towers. The recently re-branded range of Firefly Natural Tonics are natural energy drinks, started up by two school friends in 2003. The bottles are bright and eye-catching; the drinks are refreshing and delicious. What’s more, you can choose the one to suit your mood such as ‘Wake Up’ (green tea and peach), De-tox (lemon, lime and ginger) and Sharpen Up (grapefruit and passion fruit). Firefly drinks are served up in a stylish glass bottle that adds a touch of glam to your beverage break and is easily recycled too.

Unwanted cellulite? Latest 7 puts the best lotions for shifting orange peel to the test


Estee Lauder body performance slim shape advanced visible contouring system £30.50 available from Boots, Debenhams and www.esteelauder.co.uk
This is easily applied without the need to massage into the skin, drying?quickly and leaving no greasy or sticky residue. It has a minty smell,which goes as soon as it’s dry, leaving the skin with a cool, tingling sensation. My skin feels?smoother and I can see an improvement in its appearance. The only downside is you can’t see how much product is left in the bottle.?

DOVE Spa De-Dimple intensive cellulite minimiser £49 available from www.dovespa.co.uk
A two-week treatment, perfect for pre-holiday. You don’t need to worry if you’re using too little or too much as there are 14 small bottles. This also means you won’t skip a day with being ‘too tired’ as an excuse. Teamed with the effort of drinking more water, skin definitely had a healthier glow and smoothness – both to look at and to the touch.

Elemis Cellutox Active body concentrate £30 available from www.timetospa.co.uk
I have only ever tried the Elemes facial products before this. I love their fragrance and texture,and this is very similar.?It feels quite greasy but does absorb evenly. I don’t feel there has been a reduction on the cellulite areas, but my skin feels a lot smoother and radiant. I would recommend this product as more of a massage oil; you only need a small amount, so it’s good value for money, and comes in an elegant bottle.

Paul Penders body firming cellulite serum £32.25 available from www.thenaturalskincare company.com
A gorgeous rich lotion from the Malaysian rainforest, with herb and cocoa bean shell extract. This had a lovely scent – light and herbal with a hint of sweetness.The pleasant green lotion felt lovely and smooth when massaged onto the skin, leaving it immediately softer and smooth. The whole area felt toned and I have high hopes of good long-term results.

Laidbare Naturoceuticals ‘butter me up’ organic shea body butter £15, available from www.touchmyface.co.uk
With no complicated instructions it was just left to me to slather this waxy luxury on. Feeling substantial to grab, it didn’t run and needed working in a bit. The benefits of the shea butter combined with the massage left my skin feeling soft, smoother, and smelling lush.

Shift the orange peel:anti-cellulite products are just the start in treating/preventing cellulite.

Along with daily product use:
• Drink plenty of water
• Eat a low-sugar diet
• Cut down on alcohol and cigarettes
• Exercise regularly
• Use a body brush and exfoliate

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
