Last week, we took Sharp Standards to the Scottish Parliament.

Developed in partnership with BABTAC, our free microneedling good practice guide gives skincare and aesthetics practitioners the knowledge and guidance to deliver safe microneedling services. It’s designed to support compliance with existing and emerging legislation across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

While there, we discussed the new Scottish legislation coming into force in September 2027, championing clear standards, practitioner education and client safety as our industry moves forward.

A great reminder from BABTAC Member and Global Beauty Expert @michaellabolder: facial massage starts before the sculpting begins.⁠
⁠
By first stimulating the lymphatic pathways around the chest, neck and behind the ears, therapists can help prepare the skin and support the natural drainage process before moving into lifting or sculpting techniques.⁠
⁠
It is a simple but important reminder that great treatments are built on knowledge, intention and understanding what the skin and body need before you begin 💜⁠

Before you book, ask the questions that matter.

When it comes to microneedling, professional standards matter. Sharp Standards, developed by Dermalogica in partnership with BABTAC, is a good practise guide designed to support professionals in delivering high standards of microneedling care.

But knowing what to look for matters. From the cartridge used to training, insurance, consultation and aftercare, these are five questions worth asking before you book.

Save this for your next microneedling consultation.

Discover the full Sharp Standards guide via the link in our bio.

Every year, @pantone’s colour trend forecast gives us an early look at the shades set to influence fashion, design and, of course, beauty 🎨⁠
⁠
With their New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 palette now released, we’re looking at how these colours could translate across nails, makeup and salon interiors.⁠
⁠
This season brings together playful, energetic shades with softer, more grounding tones - a contrast Pantone describes as “letting go and rediscovering our sense of fun.”⁠

Should beauty therapists still wear uniforms?⁠
⁠
After asking our community about uniforms, grooming and professional appearance, one thing became very clear: everyone has an opinion.⁠
⁠
From trust and hygiene to individuality, comfort and confidence, the conversation around what beauty professionals wear is far from simple.⁠
⁠
Vitality Editor @beccivallis explores the debate in our latest blog, looking at what our community had to say and how presentation continues to shape the client experience.⁠

The care you give your clients starts long before the treatment begins.⁠
⁠
It’s in your training, your preparation, your consultations, your aftercare and the professional standards you uphold every day.⁠

A little reminder that the work you do behind the scenes matters just as much as the care your clients see in the treatment room 💜 by @babtac
