When an email dropped into my inbox inviting me to visit The Point Hair Salon in Brighton, I couldn’t be happier! With everything going on recently, I had totally neglected my hair and it was looking absolutely awful.

This new range of face masks from The Body Shop couldn’t have come at a better time for me. In the last few months with baby-peaches on the way, I’ve really been feeling hideously tired, frazzled and run down, my skincare routine has gone out of the window. My skin has also changed from dry
