The power of a professional facial
By Jill O'Donoghue from Killarney Toning and Beauty Studio
A good skincare routine with the prescribed Sothys professional suitable products helps to ensure the skin is clean and healthy.

I always recommend a facial at least once a season to ensure deep cleansing and rejuvenation, stop ageing skin and improve circulation.
Facials can help in reducing stress and alleviating anxiety as the use of massage and application of the products can help the nervous system as it presses on specific acupressure points. It is very mood uplifting. Skin will regain its lustre and glow.
With regular facials it will help to improve the circulation which bring more nutrients and oxygen to the skin. It will also help to eliminate toxins built up under the skin, which in turn brings the glow back.
If your skin is prone to white heads and blackheads, a facial is a great way of eliminating them. Using steam with ozone therapy to kill bacteria in the skin, this helps in preventing a breakout after all the extractions.
The one question I'm always asked is "will it cause break outs", this simply isn't true - so rest assured. If you have active acne, the spots will be breaking out anyway, so a facial will speed this up and lessen the amount of time they are around for.
The face has never been under so much pressure with the wearing of facemasks. The pores outside of the usual t-zone are also being blocked. This doesn't allow the skin to breathe so it will feel rougher and look duller - another great reason to book a facial.
The tightening and toning of facial contours is a big positive with a facial as it helps regenerate the collagen tissue in the skin and visibly reduces skin ageing.
Let's not forget the eye area which is very sensitive and can show the signs of ageing prematurely. During an eye facial the dark circles and puffiness are reduced and the area is hydrated helping reverse the signs of ageing.

No firm timeframe for St Finan’s masterplan
There is still no guaranteed timeline for the redevelopment of the St Finan’s site in Killarney, despite ongoing work between Kerry County Council, the HSE, and the Land Development Agency (LDA).
The issue was raised at a recent Killarney Municipal District meeting by Councillor Maura Healy-Rae, who asked the council for an update on its engagement with the Department of Housing, the LDA, and the HSE regarding the future of the prominent landbank.
Responding to the query, a senior council official confirmed that while Kerry County Council, the HSE, and the LDA are jointly developing a masterplan and infrastructure delivery strategy for the site, progress remains contingent on support.
The official stated that a funding application has been submitted to progress the masterplan and that background work is currently ongoing.
Litter bins were previously removed from Lower New Street in Killarney due to ongoing issues with people using public bins to dispose of household waste.
The matter was raised at the Killarney Municipal District meeting by Councillor Martin Grady, who called for additional litter bins to be installed along Lower New Street, specifically along the stretch from Christy Healy’s shop to Presentation Secondary School, citing a lack of disposal facilities in the area.
In response, Kerry County Council confirmed that while bins had been taken away due to inappropriate domestic waste dumping, a litter bin will now be reinstated on a six-month trial basis.
Council officials stated they will closely monitor usage over the trial period to evaluate its effectiveness and ensure it is used properly.
