PRODUCT LUST: SUPER BY DR NICHOLAS

Last month we discovered Super by Dr Nicholas Perricone's Acai Berry Face Cleanser and Sun Kissed moisturiser and we've been singing their praises ever since! The products are created using superfoods, which means they are high in antioxidants to nourish and protect skin.We've been using the gentle Acai cleanser morning and night and not only does it smell great, it contains no nasties and is ideal for all skin types. The cleanser leaves our skin feeling soft and fresh without any tightness.

After cleansing we've been applying the Sun Kissed Turmeric face cream which is a tinted moisturiser with an SPF 25 to protect skin from the damaging effects of the sun. It gives a flawless finish and is perfect for taking skin from Winter to Summer. All of the packaging is made using recycled paper and wind power - come on how green can u get? 10 out of 10 in our books.

Acai Berry Cleanser £25.50 for 120ml
Sun Kissed - £32.50 for 30ml

SALON SPY: DAVICTOR

The newly opened Davictor salon is located in the heart of Chelsea just off the stylish Sloane Square. The salon is the project of Apollon Victoratos hair stylist to the Saudi Arabian Royal Family with over 25 years of experience and renowned for his "5 day blow-dry".

The salon looks small from the outside but inside it is light and airy - it even has its own coffee bar and beauty room with a list of treatments on offer. We had our hair cut and styled by Matt who has been in the business for 10 years and was happy to give advice on what cut would suit our personal features, something all clients receive.

After the mini consultation we were taken over to the sinks where we received a full shampoo, condition and head massage using our favourite Sebastian products. Back in the chair Matt snipped away until we were left with a tidy, slick cut with just the right amount taken off the length. We left the salon feeling satisfied with our new look and it's somewhere we'd definitely return to and recommend. If you're looking for a Chelsea salon then this is your one stop shop, plus we heard a rumour Apollon might even be heading to Central London too!

Prices start from £50 for a Cut and Blow Dry and if you're having a really bad hair day and can't face leaving the house, home visits are available.

Monday to Saturday (8am-8pm) and Sunday by appointment

SALON SPY: LETICIA HAUTE COIFFURE

Located just a 5 minute walk from Marylebone High Street is the hair and beauty salon Leticia Haute Coiffure. The salon is simple inside and stocks a huge selection of products including the hard to find (our fav) Sebastian range. We visited the salon to try out a cut and blow dry with Pierre Doumit the award winning Creative Director of Leticia Haute Coiffure.

First we were treated to a wash and what felt like a 30 minute relaxing head massage - full marks. Then it was on to the cutting with lots of snipping and shaping before been blow dried and left with a bouncy head of tidy, shiny hair. Half way through the hair cut Pierre broke out into another head and shoulder massage for at least 15 minutes - we've never experienced this before in mid chop but we liked it! In fact we were almost asleep by the time he'd finished.

If you're sick of your style and fancy a full change then head along to Pierre Doumit who will be happily give you a brand new style, just don't go expecting only a trim as you may still leave with a new style anyway! Ladies haircuts start from £35 but they also offer a host of beauty treatments and hair styling for special occasions.
