Right now Im having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
A local athor, Daisy Dawes visited St. Marys Nrsery School last month. Daisy
had her rst book, Get Ahead Fred, published this year. The Dragony and Buttery
grops and their teacher, Mrs Longhrst enjoyed the story so mch that they wrote
a letter to Daisy, inviting her to come to visit the nrsery. They had lots of fn with
Daisy, who read her book and showed the children the models that she sed toillstrate it. Becase Fred loves hats, the children sang him a song abot different
sorts of hats and then had a go at designing a new hat to add to his collection.

ARE YOU SUN SMART?This mont a remnder to wear your
un protecton every day and not jut
wen te un nng! Remember tat
daylgt expoure a damagng to tekn a tannng.
UVA rays are responsible for most skin
cancers and the cause of the signs of ageing
i.e. wrinkles and brown age spots. UVB rays
are responsible for the burn or redness to
the skin. Both UVA and UVB rays can cause
cancer so wearing an SPF containing protec-
tion from both is essential.
An SPF15 blocks just over 93% of UVB
rays, whilst an SPF30 blocks 96.6% of UVBrays. Unfortunately an SPF50 still does not
give you 100% protection and contains a
higher level of chemicals that can cause ir-
ritation to the skin.
Sun screens containing vitamins A and C
protect the skin additionally. Vitamin A can
protect the DNA from damage. Vitamin
C helps protect the skin from free radical
damage resulting in less pigmented skin
problems like brown spots to frequentlyexposed areas such as face, neck, dcollet,
forearms and the backs of hands. People
who have a higher intake of vitamin C in their
diet seem to have fewer problems with skin
pigmentation. Vitamin C applied topically will
give added protection.
Young children and babies are most at risk
and must be completely protected. It is dur-
ing the formative years that the damage is
done. The evidence of that sun damage willnot show itself until later in life.
Those of you prone to acne outbreaks, do
you fnd that your skin is more spotty during
warmer weather? The reason for this is that
your skin produces 80% more oil in the heat!So do not try to dry the skin in the sun, as
two weeks after sun exposure you will suffer
a major eruption. Use oil free products on
your skin, (cleansing at least twice daily), oil
free sun block and use a gentle facial scrub 3
times a week. Try to keep cool, particularly at
night. Do not sleep on your stomach or with
your face in contact with the pillow. Sleeping
on your back will keep your face coolest!
Priori Advanced AHA Daily Defense SPF30contains UVA and UVB ray broad-spectrum
sunscreens. It is oil free. It contains essen-
tial vitamins A, C and E and lactic acid, the
bodys natural skin moisturiser, is a superior
AHA which stimulates cell regeneration whilst
deeply hydrating. This product is endorsed
by the Skin Cancer Foundation. At The
Hough Green Clinic we regard this product
as an every day essential and is perfect for
ALL skins.Jane Bryant,

Why dont they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff.
AuguST BlOOMSgARDENINg BY JANET HEATH
AuGuST can be a difcult month to nd
fresh owers and foliage. This year the
dry spring and early smmer has stressed
many plants.So f you wnt colour n auust, try perennls
such as the red hot pokers (Knipoa) in red
yellow or orne colours. They rne n sze
from bout 18 nches to 5 feet tll dependn
on the vrety nd wll wthstnd hot summer.
Phlox are also in ower at this time of year
with scented white, red or pink owers on tall
stems.
i would lso cut bck the stems on perennls
that have nished owering such as Catmint(Nepeta), Perennial Cornower (Centaura
montn) nd perennl ernums. You often
nd that with some rain, the plants will produce
new growth and a second ush of owers in
utumn.
Pots of plnts cn strt to look bt tred so

rss such s acorus. as you cn see from
the photorph, well rown rss plnt wll
look very strkn n pot nd not need muchttenton other thn wtern from tme to tme.
If you have a shrub that owered in spring,
think about planting a summer owering
clemts to row throuh t for colour lter n

Q. I have a lot of ne, blonde hairs on my face which I want
to remove. I have been told that the hairs are far too ne for
electrolysis and too fair for IPL or laser. I have tried waxing
bt my skin is too sensitive for it. Wold threading be a good
option?
A. For readers who may not know what threading is. It is a
method of mass hair plcking sing a thin, twisted cotton
strand which is rolled over the skin plcking the hairs
from their follicles. It is an ancient method of hair removal
originating from Asian and Arabic contries and has recently
gained poplarity in the West.In answer to yor qestion, threading it only a
temporary method of hair removal bt can be a
good alternative to the hair removal methods yo
mentioned in yor qestion and for the reasons
yo have otlined. De to the heat of the wax
and the fact that wax adheres to the skin as well
as the hair it can be too aggressive for some skin
conditions. Threading can be a good option for
sensitive skins as there is no heat and very little
plling on the skin. However, do expect somediscomfort and some redness.
Q. I am getting married this smmer. What is the
best way of ensring that my lipstick stays on all
day?
A It is difcult to make lipstick stay on all day but
the best method for ensring that yor lipstick
lasts for as long as possible is to rstly ensure
that yor lips are free from dead skin cells by
sing a light exfoliant a few days before yor
wedding followed by a lip balm. Then on the
day apply a little primer followed by a light layer
of fondation, which is set with powder. Apply
a lip liner the same color as yor lipstick and
then apply yor lipstick with a lip brsh, which
ensres that the color gets into all the tiny
crevices in yor lips. Blot with a tisse, lightly
powder and then reapply yor lipstick. This
shold get yo throgh a fair amont of kissing
of relatives and possibly even the wedding
breakfast! Bt carry the lipstick with yo, jst incase.
