Ultimate Skincare - The Real Secret to Beautiful Skin

“Mirror, mirror on the wall – who is the fairest one of all?”
Snow White’s stepmother may have been wicked but she certainly had a good beauty regime. She knew the secret of Ultimate Skincare, but being of a wicked nature, probably didn’t share it with any of her subjects.

Luckily BAD (British Association of Dermatologists) isn’t wicked and are more than happy to share the secret of keeping your skin looking beautiful and let you in on how to use Ultimate Skincare – a luxurious beauty product with a difference which has just launched at House of Fraser.

Ultimate Skincare was developed by BAD and they should know what the best beauty regime for your skin is.
However they do have a wicked sense of humour (but it is for your own good) and what appears to be a pot of the latest breakthrough skin cream on the outside, actually doesn’t contain cream. It contains something better than cream and something that will last you a lifetime – guidance on how to check your skin for changes and so help protect yourself against skin cancer.
Also included inside the pot is a mirror to help you on your way and details of the bespoke website (www.ultimateskincare.org) that hosts all the information people need to learn what to look for.

Surprisingly skin cancer is the no 1 cancer in the UK – maybe it’s because we don’t get enough sunshine, we tend to go mad when it’s out. (Noel Coward said it all in his song “Mad dogs and Englishmen “ go out in the midday sun.) And one Briton dies from the disease every four hours!
Luckily, most skin cancers can be stopped if detected early and the best way to protect yourself is to check your skin regularly. And this is where Ultimate Skincare comes in as a recent survey found that half of Britons could not recognise the signs of possible skin cancer and a quarter have never checked their skin.

Well checking for early signs is as simple as ABC (make that ABCDE). Regularly check all of your skin for changes to any moles, or new areas of pigmentation by following these ABCDE rules:
Asymmetry - the two halves of the area may differ in shape.
Border - the edges of the area may be irregular or blurred, and sometimes show notches.
Colour - this may be uneven. Different shades of black, brown and pink may be seen.
Diameter - most melanomas are at least 6mm across. Report any change in size or shape to your doctor.
Expert - if in doubt, check it out. If your GP is concerned about your skin, make sure you see a consultant dermatologist - an expert in diagnosing skin cancer. Your GP can refer you via the NHS.

Now you know the simple process of keeping your skin looking beautiful, add it to your own daily beauty regime and don’t keep it a secret, pass it on.
