Our blog is not just a place for journalists to write about the industry, it is also a place where you can comment on what they've written about. Comments are open on every single post we make, and we would love to hear your thoughts on the topics under discussion.

If you click on the Comments link on the bottom of every blog post, you have the option of leaving a comment there and then. Just put in your name and e-mail address, and your comment, and click publish. The comment might take a short while to appear, but shortly it will appear on the website.

If you have your own website or blog, please put its address in the URL box. and your name under your comment will appear as a link to your own website.

If you think you might be leaving comments regularly, it might be worth registering with Typekey, an independent commenting service which is not affiliated with Health & Beauty Salon or its publisher, Reed Business Information. A Typekey identity will allow you to post comments more quickly, and makes it more likely that they will be published straight away. Your Typekey account can also be used on many other blogs all over the web.

I'm a beauty therapist and am interested in progressing my career into journalism. Any advise on how I would do this?

Annette Hanford:

Hi there Zara

Many thanks for your comment.

As a beauty expert already, you are in a great position to contact your local paper and offer them free or freelance work on beauty topics -- particulary seasonal advice.

This will help you get your name out there as well as build a portfolio of published work, all while honing your skills.

I would also recommend that you contact your local college, or the London College of Fashion, to study journalism for an official, recognised qualification.

Once you have some writing experience under your belt, contact the magazines you are interested in and see if you can do an internship (unpaid) on the beauty desk.

This will stand you in good stead for any positions that become available.

I hope this helps.

Good luck in your new career!
