Katherine Daniels
Anti-Fatigue Mask – 2 minutes to Radiant Skin
New from Katherine Daniels is their Anti-Fatigue Mask. A product for clients of every age. Opening the opportunity for 100’s of sales in your salon.
A skincare wake-up call to energise, hydrate, firm and plump your skin. After 1 use you’ll be in love and wonder what you did before this miracle mask came into your life.
Use it as a quick fix pre-make-up treat, to create the perfect canvas for a dewy, peachy makeup finish. The action of the mask creates a one directional skin orientation. This smooths your skins surface, leaving a makeup finish perfect and stays in place longer. To further support your make-up look, a veil of elastic microfilm covers your skin, lifting, firming and plumping.
Long term anti-ageing benefits are bestowed when the Anti-Fatigue Mask is used regularly. The key ingredients increase intercellular energy and boost fibroblast activity.
It’s the perfect anti-dote to brighten a dull, lacklustre complexion, which is associated with fatigue and stress, linked to lack of sleep and a busy lifestyle.
But be warned! This mask doesn’t hold back, giving you seriously impressive results, right when you need them and in just 2 minutes!!

Pinks Academy
One thing is for sure, therapists love training, but why does training always have to feel so transactional? Once finishing a course, you’re released into the world with no guidance on running a successful beauty business. This is where Pinks Academy comes in…
Accredited training in holistic therapies & facials, taught by industry professionals who are experts in training and running health and wellness businesses.
Our training courses have been carefully and expertly crafted by Sughra and Kirstie. Between them, they have decades of experience in the health, beauty and wellness field working as therapists, trainers, consultants both in the UK and internationally and independent business owners. They have made a
commitment to equip you with the fundamental skills needed to work as a professional therapist and they utilise everything they have learnt over the years and share it with you. Also including therapy skills, business acumen, customer care and mentorship.
Sughra Khaliq and Kirstie Sherriff first met 20 years ago brought together by a passion for training.
Back then Pinks Academy was an award-winning, nationally recognised training school teaching over
1000 students a year in fast-track, NVQ-level treatments from facials to reflexology. As their journey
continued they became involved in a number of international spa projects, and created product and spa
clothing brands between them. However, when they decided to move away from Pinks Academy in 2010
their passion for training remained. Now, 13 years on, they are bringing that passion back and with
it, a new look. Pinks Academy aimed at helping those therapists committed to being the very best they
can be for themselves and their clients.
