Cult Beauty Buy: Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

A beauty buy this iconic really needs no introduction but here at TJ Hughes we thought we would celebrate the enduring beauty bag favourite that is Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. Created by Ms Arden herself back in 1930, Eight Hour Cream was the first Elizabeth Arden product to bear its founder’s name and it has remained as a must-have beauty product ever since.

 A go-to beauty essential used by everyone from make-up artists and models to celebrities and us mere mortals! Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream isn’t actually a cream, it is a balm and offers a range of uses.

A skin protectant balm, Eight Hour Cream can be used on everything from dry skin, chapped lips, hands and elbows, cracked heels and over the past 80 years women everywhere have discovered a number of other handy ways of using the balm. One such use is to rub Eight Hour Cream on eyelashes to remove stubborn mascara while other women swear by wearing Eight Hour Cream as an overnight mask to reveal intensely hydrated and glowing skin the following morning.

Another favourite use of the balm is to apply to skin during a long flight – ideal for keeping dry skin at bay!

 The most popular product in any woman’s beauty collection, here at TJ Hughes you will find a great selection of Elizabeth Arden makeup and skincare – including the must-have Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream. For a full skin protectant routine, we recommend kitting out your beauty bag with the Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Skin Protect Set which comes complete with Eight Hour Cream, lip protectant and intensive moisturising hand cream.

Refresh your home with Vax Hoovers & Carpet Washers

From muddy shoes to spilled drinks, carpets in the home can fall victim to mess all day long. A dirty carpet can not only ruin the look of a clean and tidy home but a dusty and dirty carpet can affect allergies too. Home cleaning specialists Vax have got the perfect solution to keeping any carpet clean and cared for thanks to their full range of Vax hoovers and carpet washers.

Designed for an efficient clean, Vax hoovers are ideal for regular use while Vax carpet washers can be used as a full effect cleaning fix when your carpet is looking that little bit drab.

Offering great cleaning properties along with reducing the amount of pollution that attached itself to surfaces in the home, Vax provides a reliable and efficient clean.

If a carpet in your home is looking neglected and dirty, don’t pay for a pricey replacement carpet – follow our cleaning tips to help refresh it to its former glory:

1) Thoroughly hoover the carpet that you would like to clean, using a hoover before you wash the carpet will ensure that any excess debris is removed – providing a better surface for the carpet washer to work with.

2) Pick the best time to clean your carpet. Try and choose a time when the house will be empty – kids running up and down the house won’t help the carpet to dry. Similarly, try and pick a day when it is not too humid outside as this will affect the dry time.

3) Remove furniture from the room, this will give you a clear path to clean the carpet.

4) Fill your carpet washer with carpet cleaner and water, read the manufacturer’s instructions to find out the recommended amount of cleaner that you should use.

5) When using the carpet washer, start from an area that is furthest away from the door and work backwards – this will help you to avoid standing on any areas that you have just cleaned

6) Go over each section several times, ensuring that you extract as much of the cleaning solution from the carpet as possible.

7) Leave the area to dry. If you want to test whether the carpet is dry, lightly press your hand on the carpet before walking on it again.

Keep your carpet clean and tidy with Vax hoovers and Vax carpet washers available to buy online at TJ Hughes.
