Absolute Beauty

Twenty-four years today. Yep 24 years ago I opened the doors to Absolute Beauty.

What a wonderful 24 years it’s been. Lots of awe inspiring therapists I’ve been lucky enough to work with, twenty years of the best clients in the world and adventures, laughs and fun along the way.

Not many people can say they LOVE their job but I can. Everyday I love going to work. To celebrate here’s a throw back picture of a (much) younger me with Napoleon Perdis before walking the red carpet at the ARIA’s. Obviously before spray tans and full brows were a thing…. 😆

Great to see a skincare company being held accountable for false and misleading claims.

Biologi Skincare has been taken to court by the ACCC for claiming it’s Vitamin C Serum contains high levels of Vitamin C. Keep in mind this serum retails for as much as $90 for 15ml! The equivalent of 3 teaspoons for $90…

And it has now been proven there was ZERO, zilch, no Vitamin C in the serum at all.

For twenty years I’ve been advising clients don’t look at the marketing - look at the ingredients. This is why.

Yes, I’m biased. I love Ultraceuticals skincare. But I love it because it’s backed by science and there’s no marketing claims. Your 10% or 23% Vitamin C is guaranteed to contain that Vitamin C and in a form that’s active and accepted by the skin.

All the consumers duped by Biologi Skincare should receive refunds.

Let’s hope this is the start of skincare and make up companies being held accountable in Australia for the claims they make.

The full story can be found on A Current Affair tonight. Those poor women that spent hundreds of dollars on water and glycerin 😭

Skincare brand Biologi breached the Australian Consumer Law - ordered to publish 5 corrective notices | Dundas Lawyers In a recent decision of the Federal Court in Native Extracts Pty Ltd v Plant Extracts Pty Ltd FCA 1265 Downes J issued an initial judgement and made orders ...

And then there were two....!

Hi Ladies,

The salon will be closed for one week from from 5pm today until 5pm next Friday, 19th January.

I will be off climbing my last two Abel Mountains. It has been a long, but fabulously adventurous seven years to reach this point. I am looking forward to celebrating with friends on the last mountain even if its in the rain!

It is still a bit surreal to think that in a week or so (unless something happens between now and then ;P ) I will have climbed all 158 of them.

I won't have any reception for the next seven days but as soon as I return I shall reply to all SMS's and emails.

I want to thank all of you, my lovely clients, for accommodating my random holiday times to traipse the mountains and I look forward to being around a whole lot more regularly now in 2024!

Hi Ladies,

What a wonderful break I have had over Christmas New Year. I hope every one of you has also managed to do something you enjoy and spend time with friends and family.

I will be back in Launceston tonight and tomorrow before going bush again for three days. Official back at work day is the 8th January.

I will return all phone calls, text messages and emails tomorrow and can’t wait to see you all again in 2024!!
Trace ❤️

And that is a wrap! We are now officially closed for the Christmas - New Year break! Oh happy dance, oh happy dance! Its holiday time!

The salon will be closed from Friday 22nd December 2023 to Monday 8th January 2024. If you need any last minute Ultraceuticals products today is the last day to message us (SMS 0438043821) to organise it.

I want to thank all of my amazing clients for supporting me this year. I am genuinely grateful to each and every one of you for choosing me to look after all your beauty needs.

I hope all of you get to enjoy some time with friends and loved ones and that you all get some much needed time out. Drink wine, eat food that goes straight to your waistline without guilt and hug those dear to you often!

I am already excited to see you all again in 2024. Be safe and well until then my lovelies!

🌟🌟🌟 Attention All Ultraceuticals Lovers! 🌟🌟🌟

NOW is the time to grab any products you need BEFORE we close for the Christmas New Year Break.

The salon will be FULLY CLOSED between 21st December 2023 and 7th January 2024. This means we won’t be able to pop anything in the drop box for collection during that time.

Remember, if you run out of your treatment serums (think A’s and C’s) you will need to re-introduce them as you did when you first started using them.

With lots of sunshine and Christmas excess (think wine, cheese and sweet treats and all the other good things in life) remember to keep up with your SPF day creams and your night time repair creams!

Hi Ladies,

Just a reminder that I am away from the 9th November to the 17th November for my big-belated-birthday trip! I will be about as far away from phone reception as you can get in Tasmania! We will be attempting to climb a mountain called The Spires. I'm sure it is going to kick my now fifty year old butt but am looking forward to the adventure!

This means if you need to change an up and coming appointment or stock up on Ultraceuticals you have until next Wednesday 8th November, otherwise its a wait till I return option! It also means that I wont be replying to any SMS's or emails after the 8th November until the 17th November.

For everyone waiting on the much sought after DNA Night Recovery Cream and the Black Friday packs don't despair. Their arrival is expected in the next few days so I will get all your goodies to you before I leave.

Here is a picture of where I was last weekend. I am definitely hoping for a little less snow this trip to give us a better chance of being successful!

And can you believe Christmas is 1.5 appointments away!

Guess who won two of the coveted Prevention Australia
Best of Beauty Awards 2023?

You guessed it - Ultraceuticals. No surprise these two products took out the gong!

Two of my all time favourite products.

It’s really nice to see recognition for skincare that is scientifically formulated and actually does what it says. A real credit for Australian skincare 🙌🏻

Ohhhhhh Christmas is coming early! Arriving next week is our once yearly Black Friday Hydration Pack. Score a FULL Size B2 Serum and a FULL Size Micellar Cleanser for LESS than the price of the B2! Yes please!

Limited stocks are arriving so if you want to get your hands on one shoot us an SMS on 0434314018 to put a hold on yours.

But the most exciting news of all... FINALLY - after a long wait - the DNA3 Night Recovery Cream is back! It too should arrive next week and we could not be more excited!

Santa will be dressed as the StarTrack man next week ;)

Hi Ladies,
Can you feel the heat of summer?! 😉

Well today didn’t exactly scream summer but nevertheless it is indeed getting closer!

A quick reminder that the salon is closed next Thursday 12th October for Launceston Show Day. I will also be away Friday 13th October and Monday 16th October.

I’m taking an extra long weekend to don some very attractive clothing, sleep five star and get a good exfoliation on the legs… (ok, ok I’m going to be wearing hideous clothes, beat myself up in scrub and no doubt end up sleeping in the dirt when things go pear shaped 🤣)

So if you need to change any up and coming appointments or stock up on your skincare just make sure you do it before Thursday as I will have no phone reception till I return.

Trace 😘

Please allow a little extra travel time this morning ladies! 🚗

We have received an evacuation text but are 800m away and so outside of the exclusion zone.

Apparently lots of closed off streets and detours are in place so it might be a figure eight drive to get to your appointment so give yourself a few extra minutes to get here. ⏰

😭😭😭😭😭 Sadly, the long wait continues. 😭😭😭😭😭

This magical night cream will hopefully be restocked in October.

Never fear we are keeping a waitlist and will contact you all as soon as it hits our shelves.

Given every Ultraceuticals salon in Australia is desperately waiting on restock we suspect limited quantities may be sent out to each salon initially.

We will try to fill as many orders as possible but it will be in a first come, first served basis. So - make sure you message us sooner rather than later to get your name on the every growing list!

Experience instant hydration with Ultraceuticals Ultra B² Hydrating Serum. loved by everyone that uses it, this serum is your key to achieving visibly radiant and youthful skin. Enhance your skin's glow today!

Simply pop it on underneath your day or night cream and voila!

Happy International Cat Day to all our furry clients. I mean our furry clients cats… um I mean our clients furry friends…,!

And if you are more furry than your kitteh then book a Brazilian 😉

Introducing the perfect facial pick me up if you are short on time but still want results!

Ultraceuticals new PHA Refine and Hydrate Peel is the ideal treatment for those wanting a skin boost treatment that’s quick enough to enjoy in your lunch break but effective enough to see results. This gentle treatment will refine your skins surface leaving it plumped, rejuvenated, brighter and glowing. Includes treatment of face, neck and decolletage!

WHO IS IT SUITED FOR?
Everyone! Everyone who wants fresh, glowing skin pronto. Theres no downtime, immediately glowing skin and a gentle solution that’s even suitable for sensitive skin types.

PHAs fall under the AHA family. They are a much larger sized molecule compared to more common AHAs like glycolic and lactic acids, so they do not pe*****te as deeply into the skin and they work on the outer visible layers of your skin. PHAs are used for their exfoliating, skin smoothing, moisturising and anti-aging benefits, it is a strong humectant which supports maintaining skin hydration with little to no tingling or irritation.

HOW LONG DOES A TREATMENT TAKE?
Express treatment is 30 minutes from start to finish. Literally an intense skin boost you can enjoy in your lunch break or after work before grabbing the kids!

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A TREATMENT
Your PHA Refine and Hydrate treatment will begin with a deep cleanse to ensure that your skin has been thoroughly prepared for the treatment. Next the PHA refining solution is applied and will be on your skin for up to 10 minutes. The peel is removed with soothing cool water, and it is normal to experience a warm sensation on your skin as the PHA stimulates the blood flow and oxygen in your skin. Other than the warmth you will feel on removing the peel there will be no burning, heat or discomfort. Following removal of the solution we will apply skin specific day or night products.

WHAT ARE THE HERO INGREDIENTS?
PHA – Gluconolactone. A polyhydroxy acid (PHA), Gently lifts dead skin cells from the skin surface making the skin smooth, even and reforming lack lustre skin to glowing skin. In the long term, it provides anti-aging benefits, especially thickness and decreased wrinkles. Panthenol dramatically improves the appearance of dehydrated, dull and coarse skin texture
Sodium Hyaluronate supports the skin’s natural moisturising factor which significantly hydrates the skin

RESULTS
Specifically, the PHA Refining treatment will:
* Effectively exfoliate your skin by removing surface residue and impurities without disturbing your skin’s natural barrier for an instantly smoother, brighter complexion.
* Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines.
* Maintains the moisture and hydration balance in your skin.

SUGGESTED COURSE OF ACTION
Of course we recommended a course of 3-6 PHA treatments over 6-12 weeks and appropriate home care to obtain optimal results BUT you will notice results after just one treatment. You can even add a PHA Peel to your regular Microdermabrasion treatment for even more dramatic results.

AFTER TREATMENT CARE
Your skin will feel hydrated, plump and smooth. Following your treatment, it is best to use your recommended Ultraceuticals homecare regime, with a focus on hydration to maintain the hydration level in your skin in the following 5 days. You can continue to use active skin care products as there is no downtime with this treatment.

COST
To celebrate the launch of the new Ultraceuticals PHA Peel in the salon your express treatment is just $55, normally $85, saving $30.
Only for the next two weeks as part of the launch celebrations and subject to appointment availability. There are only a few available appointments so the sooner you call, the more likely you will score one of the spots!

To book your spot SMS 0434 314 018, DM us or email us at [email protected]

See you soon… I’m off to indulge in a little PHA magic myself!

Hi Ladies,
Unfortunately there has been a serious accident on the East Tamar Highway this morning. As such the road is currently closed.

Tasmania Police are advising people to use Invermay Road and Vermont Road. Please allow a little extra travel time to your appointment and drive safe.

Our thoughts are with those injured for a speedy recovery ❤️ 🙏🏻

Trace @ Absolute Beauty

Although things didn’t quite go to plan on our trip and I will be using all my makeup skills to cover a little facial bruising and some scabs I am super excited to see everyone tomorrow.

Here’s two contrasting pictures from the trip. The first shows the immense beauty of Tasmania and the second shows where we slept when we failed to make it back to the tent 🤦‍♀️

And the third picture is a something a little exciting hitting the shelves next week from Ultraceuticals (my face could be benefiting from it right now if it was here because I think I aged 10 years in the last 7 days 🙃)

Hi Ladies,

My cat “Jelly Bean” warming herself on the food dehydrator can only mean one thing…. I’m away soon! The last of my annual leave for the year is fast approaching.

Just a quick reminder that the salon is shut from 7pm Wednesday 8th March to 8am Friday 17th March.

So if you need to change an appointment you have for the 17/3 make sure you do it before this Wednesday. If you need some skincare before we close just DM or SMS the salon mobile.
