Looking great for the Summer Beauty Treatments: Tried-and-Tested

This month we present our round-up of the best health and beauty treatments available at the county’s spas and salons by giving five Sleaford fitness fans the chance to road test the best summer pick-me-ups as part of a fashion makeover and hair and make-up restyle

It’s summertime, and Sleaford’s Town Runners are out in force enjoying the sunshine and getting fit for the season. Looking and feeling healthy, we decided to enlist five of the club’s members for a little bit of pampering, and to ask for their help in evaluating the summer’s top health and beauty treatments available from spas and salons across the county.

The running club was established three years ago and now has over 70 members, each of whom runs at anything from semi-professional level, competing in marathons and charity runs, to those who simply seek to provide a social background to an otherwise solitary pursuit.

Members Catherine, Carolyn and Julie, shown heresecond left, centre and far right, have been running for over a decade, whilst the club’s newest members Julie and Amanda, shown here first and fourth left, are new to the club. Having
already lost weight and toned-up for the summer, we thought the ladies deserved a summer treat and sent them off to five Lincolnshire specialists to enjoy the latest health and beauty treatments with the reassurance they would report back and tell us how they felt after each one, and which they’d opt for when seeking the perfect summer pick-me-up.

Amanda opted for a HD eyebrow treatment with Boston’s Thea Pearce whilst Catherine Simpson opted for a cellulite-blasting Thalgo Mint Cocoon at The Grange Spa in Pointon between Grantham and Sleaford. Carolyn Crocker enjoyed an all-over FakeBake spray tan courtesy of Boston’s Studio 10 and workmates Julie Frost and Julie Stapleton selected a glycolic acid facial and a hydrating rose facial at Lincoln Laser Skincare and The Grange respectively.

The ladies were all seeking summer pick-me-ups which would help them look good but also feel great after miles of running.
