Hospital’s hat-trick HOW LOYAL ARE YOU TO YOUR BEAUTY BRANDS?
Whether you’re looking for a new shade or tone, are on a budget or simply fancy a change to match the switch in season, it seems, according to research, that most of us stick to what we know because it’s “part of our identity”.
The poll, carried out by bathroom and shower specialists showerstoyou.
co.uk, revealed that the top three products we feel most loyal to are: perfume (68%), mascara (68%), and foundation (54%), while, on the other hand, the beauty products we show the least loyalty to and change most often are: eyeshadow pallets (22%),
powder (19%), and blush (18%). Unsurprisingly, good performance is the main reason we remain loyal to a beauty product but just over half (53%) did admit that they don’t want to try new products because they were afraid to.
• 68% of Brits would always buy the same perfume because it’s “part of their identity”. • 53% of Brits are afraid to try new beauty products. • Free samples made 33% of Brits switch to other beauty products. • 41% of us are staying loyal to a brand because it’s cruelty free.

The private hospital near Cranbrook has been CHKS Accredited following an assessment by a team of senior healthcare professionals back in March 2019. The award means that the hospital’s
processes and standards meet internationally- recognised best practice, legislation and
regulatory requirements in relation to the safety of patients, staff and visitors.

The hospital also received JAG Accreditation from the Royal College of Physicians for its endoscopy unit.
Take a moment to feel good In a busy world, we all know we need to fi nd time for ourselves. To take a moment to close our eyes, get away from the hustle and simply breathe. But we struggle to do what we know is good for us. Sanda aromatherapy eye pillows provide a physical reminder to
take fi ve minutes to get back to yourself. The pillows are fi lled with fl ax seeds, dried herbs and fl owers which shape around the contours of the eye, while the gentle pressure relieves tension and triggers the mind to feel reassured and relaxed. Handmade from organic linen, the pillows come in seven different scents, including eucalyptus and peppermint to awaken the senses in the morning, cinnamon and orange to uplift and improve concentration and focus, rose and cardamom for that zen calm and balance, and lavender and chamomile for deep relaxation and peaceful sleep. • Each pillow is priced £22 from
