The Salon Near You
Maitland Beauty Therapist Celebrates 18yrs
If you’re in the Greenhills, East Maitland, Maitland and Kurri Kurri areas in the beautiful Hunter Valley and happen to be looking for a Beauty Therapist and Salon of good repute, look no further. Ruth Crawley Beauty … “The Salon Near You” is celebrating her eighteenth year of success in the Beauty Industry.
I completed my training at The Australian College of Beauty Therapy in East Maitland back in 2001, and plunged straight into setting up my first Salon. It was a stellar success from the start. Makeup, nails, facials, waxing, massage…. I was on my way and soon to discover my true passion….The Rejuvenation and Restoration of the Skin!!!!!
It was when I opened my New Salon in Heddon Greta in 2007 I started to accomplish my real goals. From Relaxation Facials and Glycolic Peels, I introduced the beloved and still very favourable today, Microdermabrasion and Galvanic current.The phone was ringing and appointments were being placed for the new sought after service I was able to proudly provide.
By 2009 I was in Melbourne studying with The Flemming Institute for my Laser Safety Credentials. I purchased my first of two IPL machines two months later. Trending Photorejuvenation and permanent hair removal were now the new services I was able to provide and add to the Salon Menu. LED Sapphire Photonlight for wound healing and skin Rejuvenation was introduced next followed by the Ultrasound and Oxygen Facial Therapy. I had achieved my goal. I had a professional skin clinic.
Just when you think there is nothing more you need…!!!!
Along comes The new Dermapen 4 ….. Reinventing Micro Needling and an award winning breakthrough in technology. Dermapen 4 is here to rewrite your skins history!!
WOW…. I immediately applied to attain the required qualifications in this newfound field and with persistence, determination and dedication I believe I have taken my Salon to the next level.

Protect Your Skin From The Rays
The sun is a powerful source of ultraviolet radiation, which causes DNA damage and genetic mutations that lead to the development of skin cancer. While it’s true that the sun’s UV levels are strongest when temperatures are high, the truth is you are exposed to the sun’s harmful rays all year round even in the winter.
In fact according to the World Health Organisation, fresh snow is a major reflector of UV radiation, which is why skiers wear goggles to protect their eyes from snow blindness. Wearing sunscreen every single day, no matter how warm it is outside, is the easiest and best way to prevent skin from absorbing these dangerous UV rays, especially if you are outdoors. It does not matter what season it is.

Not all sun damage looks the same. Any change in skin colour is a sign of sun damage, even if it’s not red. Although red or pink is a tell-tale sign that you have been burned, studies confirm that you can have a sunburn long before your skin becomes visibly pink.
You need adequate sunscreen protection no matter how warm it is outside, taking care to ensure extra protection during those midday hours. Each sunburn increases your odds of skin cancer. Though getting sunburnt doesn’t guarantee you will develop skin cancer in your lifetime, every single sunburn you get increases the risk that you will.

Note that Makeup alone should not be considered a substitute for sun protection. If you are spending any prolonged time outside, you will need to protect your skin with sunscreen. Hats, sunglasses and clothing designed for sun protection is an added bonus.
You can still get a tan wearing sunscreen, it all depends on the strength of the SPF.
SPF, is a measure of how well a sunscreen will protect the skin from UV rays. It is logical to think that an SPF of 30 is twice as good as an SPF of 15 and so on. According to Spencer, an SPF 15 product blocks about 93% of UV rays; an SPF of 30 product blocks 97% of UV rays; and an SPF of 50 product blocks about 98% of rays.
