Bad skin day stressing you out? Relax...you needn’t face it alone
Whatever your age or skin type, we’ve all had bad face days. Whether it’s an outbreak of adult acne or you just need a boost after a stressful time – here’s why you should invest in a salon pampering session.
Clean break
A trained therapist can pinpoint your skin type and work out the best way to thoroughly open up your pores and cleanse the skin.
You’ll see and feel the difference.
A peel or masque can thoroughly clean the surface, leaving a healthier layer beneath. A dermaplaning facial works wonders.
Get glowin’
Regular facials and massages boost cell regeneration and promote collagen development – all helping you achieve younger-looking skin.
Along with the right products, massage improves our blood circulation.
Focusing on the face cells stimulates the oxygen supply and nutrients are carried along with the blood boost to the dermis (the deeper layer of your skin). All this adds up to efficient and healthier cells and a glowing face!
My favourite facial for clients is the Timexpert White range from Germaine De Capuccini. Its anti-age care qualities are created especially for dull skin with hyperpigmentation. It takes 95 minutes and costs £95.
Spotless!
If you suffer from breakouts, look for facials using antioxidant-rich creams, sea salt, herbal extracts and oils. All contribute to facial detox to rid skin of the waste that regularly builds up causing spots. Extraction of any pesky pimples is done with a special extraction tool which won’t leave scarring.
Bye bye bags
If you suffer from puffy eyes, cucumber slices work wonders. They soothe your eyes and the vitamin K rehydrates, helping eliminate dark circles. Facials containing
caffeine products can also work wonders.
High and dry
Facials boost your skin’s ability to absorb other beneficial products. If it’s rough, some products won’t be able to permeate it properly. Exfoliation is key. It will gently but effectively remove dead skin cells, allowing creams to work more efficiently.
Moodbooster
Experts say facial massage activates your sympathetic nervous system – in turn, reducing anxiety levels and boosting your mood. Even more reasons to book yourself a salon appointment!
