Road Test
This week I try … a mini oxygen facial
The lowdown I'm off to a function this evening, so perky-looking skin is in order. I am propped up on a high chair at the Elizabeth Arden counter in Myer for a quick pickme-up with a mini oxygen facial.
Hey, if a facial oxygen shot is good enough for Victoria's Secret models before they strut the runway, it's good enough for me.First up, my skin is cleansed with Prevage Anti-aging Treatment Boosting Cleanser before we work out what oxygen mix my skin needs. I opt for the Hydrating Mist, which is a serum containing aloe and sodium PCA combined with stabilised oxygen for an instant hydration hit. (There are three other mixtures – Detoxifying Mist, Brightening Mist and Lifting Mist.) The final step: the Prevage City Smart with sunscreens.

Trend: Hair Care
Winter takes a toll on our hair, especially in terms of dryness and static build-up, so a weekly 10-minute treatment with a hydrating hair mask is a must. Those with deeply damaged hair should swap conditioner for a mask for a few washes to give hair a boost. I love the idea; now I just need to adopt my own advice.

Ask Stephanie
What is the most effective permanent hair-removal option for fair-haired people? This is certainly a vexed question and to date there have been no real breakthroughs. Some say long-pulse laser (try instantlaserclinic.com.au) offers a better result on fair hair, but outcomes vary depending on the individual. So, basically, the quest continues.
