THERAPIST ADVICE
-Follow a daily skin care routine! Therapists often agree that using soap and water is a big NO! Your skin care routine needs to include a careful and gentle cleansing factor. It is important to remove your make- up using a highly refined mineral oil first; we recommend the BI-PHASE make up remover to gently and effortlessly dissolve make up and sebum from the skin’s surface.
The Youth cleansing milky cream then works to provide age-defying properties leaving your skin feeling fresh and supple. Your second choice of cleanser should then be chosen to treat the skin condition to promote healthy skin, your therapist can advise you on this.
Following a skin care routine is extremely important and does not have to be a long winded daily process. A simple routine that includes a double cleanse, exfoliation and a moisturizing lotion, is plenty to start your skin routine. To keep your routine simple and quick, exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week and this could even be added into your second cleanse to make the process a bit quicker in the morning!
Exfoliating 2-3 times a week means the products you then use on your skin can work and penetrate deeper into the skin’s layers to treat the skin condition.
-Treat your skin to a full professional facial treatment...
During your facial treatment your therapist will assess your skin type, condition and any main concerns you may have with your skin. After this consultation process the therapist will be able to choose products best to treat your skin, she will then also be able to give you full aftercare and home care advice on how to maintain your skin after your treatment.
Would you visit the dentist and not brush your teeth in-between appointments? No, and this is why we give you a full prescriptive treatment and home care advice to enable you to get the best out of your treatment and products advised for you.
-Drink plenty of water daily...
Being dehydrated can have a huge effect on your skin type and condition- it is important to hydrate your skin from the inside too! Make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day, every day to improve your skin’s hydration levels.
Don't have time for intensive skin care? You can still pamper yourself by acing the basics. Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay the natural aging process and prevent various skin problems. Get started with these five no-nonsense tips.
1. Protect yourself from the sun
One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems — as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.
For the most complete sun protection:
• Use sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Apply sunscreen generously, and reapply every two hours — or more often if you're swimming or perspiring.
• Seek shade. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest.
• Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also consider laundry additives, which give clothing an additional layer of ultraviolet protection for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing — which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays.
2. Don't smoke
Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health.
Smoking also damages collagen and elastin — the fibers that give your skin strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — can contribute to wrinkles.
If you smoke, the best way to protect your skin is to quit. Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking.
3. Treat your skin gently
Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin. To keep it gentle:
• Limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm — rather than hot — water.
• Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps and detergents can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.
• Shave carefully. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving. For the closest shave, use a clean, sharp razor. Shave in the direction the hair grows, not against it.
• Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.
• Moisturize dry skin. If your skin is dry, use a moisturizer that fits your skin type. For daily use, consider a moisturizer that contains SPF.
4. Eat a healthy diet
A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The association between diet and acne isn't clear — but some research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates might promote younger looking skin.
5. Manage stress
Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — take steps to manage your stress. Set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results might be more dramatic than you expect.
The more you are stressed, the more the hormones will be stimulated and this will create imbalance in your skin and break outs.
If you're on a budget and need to spend less on beauty products, but you still want great products. From cleansers to mascaras, we reveal which inexpensive products perform beautifully. You'll look and feel great with money to spare!
