Shh! Help! Too much festive fizz is taking its toll on my complexion
Anti-agers no one but you need know about
Q
ALL this festive drinking is making me look very tired and damaging my complexion. What would you recommend for a pick-me-up during the party season?
A
Recently, I tried the perfect thing — a new treatment called Party Face, by FaceGym (facegym.
com), a chain of walk-in clinics specialising in face ‘workouts’.
I went to one of the branches in Selfridges, so I was able to pick up a revived visage along with my christmas presents.
Over 55 minutes, I got a cleanse, followed by a blast of pressurised oxygen with mild exfoliants. then came another oxygen infusion, with plumping hyaluronic acid. next was a deep, strong, lifting facial massage followed by ten minutes of facial muscle stimulation with an electrical current-emitting device. It was topped off with ‘vitamin shots’ — cooling mists of vitamin c (for brightening) and B5 (for healing), also applied with pressurised oxygen.
Somewhere along the line, squashy stress balls, a facesculpting jade stone and a knobbly dermaroller (to help the ingredients penetrate) were deployed, too.
the result of this £130 boot camp? Visibly lifted cheekbones and a far less drawn face staring back in the mirror. this is a results-driven facial for all ages: definitely worth a try.
