How it started
So where does the name ‘Black Friday’ come from? Using the adjective ‘black’ usually means it’s a pretty bad day. The earliest use of the phrase Black Friday was in 1869. This was when plummeting gold prices caused a market crash in the USA. But the first mention of Black Friday as we know it for the mother of all shopping sprees, was in the 1950s. Philadelphia traffic police coined the term to describe the traffic jams and intense crowding of the retail stores.
It was always believed that Black Friday officially opened the Christmas shopping season in the USA. But not only traffic police dreaded the day. The ratio of sales personnel-to-customers added to the pandemonium. Consequently, stressed sales people would take the day off to extend their Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
So
now you know it.
NeoStrata
NeoStrata has been researching topical skincare ingredients for more than 40 years. They’ve patented some of the best-known technologies, such as Glycolic Acid. The difference in their products is that these exfoliate the surface layers of skin, revealing smooth, new layers. They also develop their products at the optimal pH level to enhance effectiveness. And then, by targeting the building blocks of skin, the products volumise appearance for long-term results with continued use.
Heliocare
Heliocare’s sunblocks are renowned for the innovative Fernblock® Technology. This protects against the sun’s four radiations (UVB-UVA-VL-IR), neutralises free radicals and repairs sun damage both inside and out.
Cantabria Labs, which developed the Heliocare range, invests 12% of its turnover in research. This ensures maximum scientific efficacy and rigour in its products. The efficacy of Heliocare has been scientifically proven in more than 50 studies published in leading international medical journals. Evidence demonstrates that it’s not only effective in photoprotection, but also for preventing of skin ageing, actinic damage, sun allergies and dark spots.
