WIN A SUMMER SKINCARE REGIME 

Summer is here, and since you will want your skin to look its best for the holidays, a bit of TLC is in order. So Health and Beauty Salon has teamed up with Crystal Clear to offer one reader a superb three-product regime for face and body - worth £141 retail - that delivers just that. 

The products are Crystal Clear: Intense Anti-Ageing Serum; No Shine Serum; and Velvet Skin. Do-good ingredients include peptides to reduce expression lines; tourmaline extract to revive; and a nourishing oxygen complex.

Crystal Clear Intense Anti - Ageing Serum. When skin needs that little bit more than a normal moisturiser, this collagen-boosting serum is perfect for creating a firmer, toned, hydrated and younger-looking skin with fewer wrinkles. The secret to wrinkle-reduction is a powerful, anti-ageing complex that includes an ingredient based on a polypeptide found in viper's venom - which is particularly effective in reducing expression lines and wrinkles by inhibiting muscle contractions.
 
Crystal Clear No Shine Serum. An ultra-smooth, mattifying gel, it's   an effective solution for problem skin, gliding on like silk and taking the shine off oily skin, says the company. The formulation combines a sebum-loving blend of active ingredients that combat surface oil; lightly hydrate skin; and help tighten open pores. Salicylic acid - a tried-and-tested acne-fighting ingredient - provides anti-bacterial protection, while energy-generating tourmaline extract revives radiance.

Crystal Clear Velvet Skin. If you want smooth, soft skin all over, this is the product for you: it does what it says on the box. An excellent anti-ageing serum, it has a heavenly, melt-in texture, while a light, non-greasy formula leaves skin silky smooth. One of the first body products to be rich in peptides, it also includes an oxygen complex for nourishment; tourmaline extract for skin radiance; and essential oils for velvet-soft skin.

This year's Oscars were all about movies, movie stars and manicures with OPI.

At the Haven, a three-day gifting suite and entertainment event hosted by Elle and held at a luxurious Beverly Hills home, celebrities and VIPs were treated to manicures using OPI products, which were also included in guests' gift bags.

Celebutante Paris Hilton requested - and got - a pre-Oscars manicure from an OPI nail tech at home in Los Angeles, with Suzie & The Lifeguard (a not-so-innocent light pink) nail lacquer from OPI's South Beach Collection as her colour of choice.

"We were thrilled that Paris Hilton specifically requested OPI for her post-Oscars party look. Pink is definitely her signature colour," said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI executive vice president & artistic director.

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria and It Happened in Vegas actress Lake Bell received manicures with OPI's hot new South Beach Collection shades during New York Fashion Week (in February).

OPI was part of the Brand New You! beauty retreat hosted by celeb fashion stylist and TV personality Robert Verdi at Luxe Laboratory.
