It’s that office party time again

During the winter, plenty of layers are the order of the day and covering most of our bodies means we often neglect our skin routine. (out of sight, out of mind).


Then Christmas arrives and with it, the office party. Now I don’t know about you but I know that my little black party dress looks so much nicer when I am sporting a tan. Now that my summer glow has faded to its usual pasty self I need help.

But before reaching for that bottle of fake tan EXFOLIATE.  It doesn’t take long and can be done either in the bath or shower. Exfoliating removes the build up of dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface of your skin leaving it dull and rough. After exfoliating you will find your moisturiser is more readily absorbed and your skin will feel so much nicer.


Go easy on the fake tan, a little goes a long way, make sure you apply evenly. Its far better to apply two applications to build your tan up gradually than try to do it in one go and don’t forget, don’t get dressed until it is fully absorbed into your skin or you will mark your clothes.


Keep your body moisturised and you will be surprised how long your tan can last.

Everyone HATES Cellulite!

Cellulite is a serious problem for most women – especially for women over 35. It appears mainly on the buttocks and thigh areas and can often be extremely unsightly. It’s a myth to think that only fat women suffer from cellulite. Thin people are not immune.
One thing is certain; most women hate cellulite and want to get rid of it - at all costs.

How can I get rid of Cellulite?

Through proper diet, exercise and anti cellulite creams, you can regain that smooth skin and shapely figure without having to resort to costly and sometimes dangerous cosmetic surgery.

How does it work?


Babaria's Anti Cellulite cream helps stimulate the breakdown of fat whilst reducing water retention.  Carnitin (a protein), helps to eliminate and further prevent the accumulation of fats and wastes that become trapped in the susceptible cells just below the skin surface, leading to the formation of cellulite.
Caffeine helps to improve circulation, flushing away fats and fluids.              
Fucus Vesiculosus (seaweed) helps boost synthesis of collagen and elastin to help firm the skin tone.
Whilst Aloe Vera actively maintains the skins correct moisture balance.

Take Care of Your Face This Winter


Is your moisturiser doing enough to keep your skin at its best?

Mine isn’t and I bet most of us could do with a little help here and there.


As featured on the GMTV This Morning Programme you should be using a richer moisturiser in the winter to help protect your skin and to help prevent it from drying out. I recommend Aloe Vera Nourishing Cream from Babaria. It’s rich enough to help keep your skin moisturised, but is absorbed easily and doesn’t feel heavy, making this the ultimate moisturiser for the winter months.


Another tip from the GMTV This Morning Programme was to use facial oil once or twice a week for the ultimate skin care. Musk Rose Facial Oil from Babaria is almost 100% pure. It has the most amazing qualities, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, whilst firming the skin. Musk Rose Oil is well known for its exceptional qualities, helping to repair sun damaged skin, acne scars, stretch marks, and post operative scaring. ( This oil does not have to be kept exclusively for the face, some pregnant women find it invaluable in helping to prevent stretch marks).

Protect your hands this winter.

One of the first places to show our age is our hands. Unfortunately our hands are almost always on show.



The skin on our hands is thin, delicate and often dry, our hands seem to be the first to suffer from the cold, or from our centrally heated homes and air conditioned offices.

You can help keep your hands and nails in tip top condition this winter just remember to follow these three simple rules.

Protect your hands from the cold by making a habit of wearing gloves when you venture outside.

Make sure you wear rubber gloves when doing the washing up or using cleaning products, especially during the winter. Overexposure to both water and harsh chemicals in dishwashing liquids, draws the natural moisture and lubrication out of your hands.

Most importantly of all, use a good hand cream a few times a day to keep the skin on your hands moisturised and to prevent your nails from drying out and splitting.



I recommend three hand creams from the Babaria range.

Aloe Vera consentrated Hand and Nail Cream, also contains glycerine to help lock in that moisture, it's great for dry hands it is absorbed easily with no sticky residue.

Rosa Mosqueta Intense Hydration Hand Cream with Musk Rose Oil, (this one is my personal favourite), it is absorbed easily and is delicately fragarenced.


If your hands are in need of a bit more help, try Hand and Nail Nourishing Gel with Snail Extract which helps to heal abrasions, (how do you think snails manage to have perfect skin?). This hand gel is non greasy and odourless and is absorbed quickly with no residue.

Choosing a Moisturiser

During the winter months our skin faces its worst time.

Both central heating and air conditioning contribute to our skin dehydrating. Cold temperatures outside stress the skin and weaken the skin’s protective barrier causing your skin to dry our further. Steamy hot showers although soothing, are harsh to the skin, washing off the skins natural oils and leaving it dry and vulnerable.




Moisturisers are the essential health drink of the skin. The glow and finesse we see on well-groomed skin is actually the result of an extensive skin care regimen, finished off with a detailed moisturising routine.
Moisturisers perform the very crucial functions of protecting the skin from free radicals, and keeping moisture locked in preventing your skin from drying out. It is for such reasons that you need to choose your moisturiser carefully.




The first thing you need to check for when selecting the moisturiser is that it suits your skin type. There are many on the market to choose from, something out there is perfect for you.  Make sure that it smells good, the moisturiser should feel extremely soft on your skin and should be absorbed easily without any greasiness. You don’t need to break the bank to take good care of your skin. Most of the top brands are so expensive because they spend millions advertising, passing the cost down to you.

Babaria Anti Wrinkle Cream now with Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is plentiful in our bodies when we are born, but it's levels slowly recede over time. This reduction in HA levels may be a big contributing factor of the aging process which we see.

Hyaluronic Acid occurs in the deeper layers of our skin known as the dermis and it appears to help keep the skin smooth because of it's great water retention qualities. Hyaluronic Acid also apparently helps to repair skin wounds and certain other problems.

The benefits of using HA topically can be quite significant as unlike collagen treatments, HA has the ability to be effectively absorbed by the skin. It also serves as an efficient carrier of other anti aging ingredients to the cells meaning active anti aging ingredients are transported to the cells through the layers of skin.





Babaria have now revisited their most popular Aloe Vera range and changed the recipe to include HA for a number of products including their amazing Aloe Vera Anti Wrinkle cream which if used regularly, it could help to strengthen your skin tissue, whilst helping to smooth out any creases and helping to minimise fine lines and wrinkles.

Effectively it encourages your skin to eliminate the outward signs of fatigue, giving facial skin compactness and firmness.

Can you afford not to try it?

Snail Extract a skincare revolution brought to you by Babaria

Are you prepared to put snail extract cream or gel on your skin to help banish those fine lines and wrinkles appearing on your face and particularly under and around your eyes?

Well, apparently studies have revealed that this delightful unguent gathered from the secretions of snails( extraviada natural Alantonia)  can actually improve, even rejuvenate, problem skin. Even acne can sometimes be helped. An added bonus is that the cells of the skin plump up, having a wonderfully reducing effect on wrinkles. 





The advantage of this slime to humans was discovered after workers in a snail farm in Equador  found that the skin of their hands was baby soft after handling the snails all day for the French food market. Any cuts or abrasions healed remarkable quickly with minimal scarring. It was discovered that snails can regenerate their shells when damaged or diseased. Therefore its obvious (surely) that what restores a snails shell can have equally astounding reaction on human skin.
There is an enterprising Spanish company called Babaria who have developed this knowledge and are now marketing a range of Snail extract products, for the hands and face including a brilliant Snail Extract anti wrinkle gel via Mia Beauty Ltd who ship their products worldwide.

For those of you for one can’t imagine the thought of putting this slime on your skin there is a now a cream version for your face which comes with  the added protection of SPF 20 so while the snail cream is doing its work your skin is being protected from the damaging rays of the sun.


For those of you who are interested the slime is harvested with the reward of food and sex. Yes you heard right. No harm comes to the snails. The snails are placed on glass and are bribed with food and sex to get them to move across the glass leaving the slime behind ready for harvesting and making into skincare products for the cosmetic market.
These products and others can be found at www.miabeautyshop.com

There is an amazing pure Musk Rose oil which is renowned for its incredible results when applied to post-burn scars, prematurely aged skin, wrinkles, expression lines, and stretch marks. This extremely high percentage Musk Rose oil, although marketed especially for the face by Babaria, can be used anywhere else on the body to help heal and reduce the presents of any problem areas. Especially good for helping to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.



This oil has been known as "Elixir of Youth" as this Musk Rose oil fights the aging process of the skin, it stimulates the regeneration as well as improving the texture and quality of the skin by increasing its elasticity. A two-year research project on the therapeutic properties of the Musk Rose oil demonstrated clinically the unique healing and regenerative properties of this oil on the skin.




We at Mia Beauty have found that for the best results you need to apply the pure oil to the affected area at least once but preferably twice daily, working into the affected area gently, only a very small amount is required for each application. To get the maximum results possible for your skin this must be continued for at least 2 months or longer depending on the results you require. It is a powerful moisturizer, pure and gentle enough for all types of complexion, including the most sensitive and dry skins.
We have an extensive range of Musk Rose Oil products on our website. Come and visit us at www.miabeautyshop.com

Preserve your summer glow with Aloe Vera from Babaria brought to you by Mia Beauty

With the end of summer approaching now is the time to look after and prepare your skin for the changing season. Remember during your holidays when your skin was on show and you moisturised your skin daily on the beach and again in the evening.

Why should it be any different now?




To keep your skin looking and feeling fresh and vibrant and glowing you need to remove the dead skin which accumulates on the surface of your skin leaving it looking dull and tired. Your skin is constantly renewing itself and needs a little help to discard the old cells. Babaria's Aloe Vera body scrub is designed especially for this purpose. It contains small granules in a cream wash that when rubbed over your body in circular movements work by gently removing these dead skin cells leaving your skin smooth soft and ready for moisturising.







After you have exfoliated, your skin is ready to be nourished and will be able to absorb your body moisturiser much more easily. What better way to care for your skin than with Babaria's Aloe Vera body cream, or if you prefer a slightly lighter moisturiser try Babaria's Aloe Vera body milk, both of these are easily absorbed by your skin without leaving a sticky residue.










The well known health benefits of Aloe Vera Barbadensis have been used for skin care since being discovered by the ancient Egyptians. Today the researchers at Babaria are still discovering more benefits of this amazing plant which is widely used in face and body creams. It will help your skin stay moisturised and hydrated all day and keep it looking at its best.
All these products and more are brought to you by Mia Beauty Ltd. Come and visit us at www.miabeautyshop.com
