EXFOLIATION AND ITS BENEFITS
There’s just something special about that refreshing tingling feeling on the skin after exfoliation. The skin has this almost instant glow that looks and feels amazing.It brings about such a radiant brilliance to the skin.
There are physical and chemical exfoliations, enzymes for the most sensitive of skins and exfoliation with machines such as microdermabrasion.
ACNE TREATMENTS AND PREVENTION
Aside from clearing away dull and lifeless skin cells, a regular exfoliation habit increases your skin’s clarity and youthfulness.
Treating your skin to exfoliation once or twice a week prevents debris building up and clogging the pores. This is effective in preventing the formation of breakouts such as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and pustules. Removing the seal of old skin cells allows sebaceous matter to flow more easily and coat the skin, to nourish and protect the skins surface and not invade it with congestion. Exfoliation helps to prevent acne.
PRODUCT PENETRATION
Exfoliating leaves a fresh canvas. This new freshly polished surface is prepared for absorption. Rich active, hydrating ingredients from your skincare can access the skin more easily for better more richer nourishment.This fresh surface now allows for deeper penetration of your skincare ingredients. Drenching your skin with serums and hydrators onto a fresh exfoliated skin will result in a healthy radiant, glowing skin giving you value for your money.
I would have to say this makes exfoliation an essential step in your skincare regime.
SCARRING AND PIGMENTATION
Exfoliating regularly can beat the frustrating skin issues such as scarring and pigmentations. Patience and persistence will pay off. Treating your skin with correction peels breaks down dead skin and improves tone and texture.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Exfoliation has many benefits and the stimulation of lymphatic drainage would be one of its greatest. “My first go to stand alone treatment for a congested skin in the Salon.” Lymphatic drainage cleanses the skin from the inside. The fluid just beneath the skin stimulates oxygen-rich blood to feed and nourish the skin’s surface. If the lymph fluid is stagnant, exfoliation helps to detoxify the unhealthy debris. Oxygen Facials are ideal for detoxification also,increasing oxygen rich blood which is essential when the skin is undergoing a healing process.
COLLAGEN
Regular exfoliation also has anti-ageing benefits. Exfoliation effectively assists in the stimulation of collagen synthesis. Our overall goal here in skin therapy is to improve the skin’s texture, integrity, and keep the skin looking plump, tight, and youthful.

SUGAR Causes premature ageing….
Glucose is an essential fuel for our cells. However, high levels of sugar leads to an excellerated rate of ageing by a process called glycation.
Glycation put simply is the sticky glucose from sugars building up on the collagen fibres, causing them to become stiff and rigid, resulting in breaking them down. When collagen breaks down in your skin, the skin ages prematurely, losing it’s density and elasticity, thinning out and becoming saggy, causing wrinkles and dryness.
To delay glycation, follow a low carbohydrate/low sugar diet. I would introduce Vitamin A and Vitamin C products into your skincare regime and recommend scheduled appointments for professional customised skin therapies.

A Salicylic Acid Peel is second to none when it comes to treating acne, blackheads, pimples and large pores.For best optimal results, a course of frequent light peels is even more beneficial.You will notice a significant result if these skin issues are treated on a regular basis.
Salicylic Acid effectively breaks down lipids and oils/sebum.It dissolves debree sitting in the pores, making it an ideal treatment for acne related skin problems.
- Salicylic Acid Treatments helps clear and prevent blackheads, pimples/whiteheads and cysts.
- Helps to shrink large pores by reducing the over production of oil, which in time improves the skins texture, from appearing coarse to looking smooth and refined.
- Because this Peel has the ability to dissolve, it successfully breaks down the glue that bonds skin cells together. This is an exfoliation process which clears the skin and opens the pores.
- The acid neutralises the skin PH balance, this action reduces inflammation in the follicle and helps to prevent further breakouts.
- Peeing the skin with an efficient product like Salicylic Acid is also beneficial in reducing acne scars.
You should expect some moderate tingling during the treatment process and some slight redness, maybe some flaking a few days afterward, but this should subside with some regular applications of a reputable repair moisturising cream and most importantly don’t forget your sunscreen.

Protect Your Skin From The Rays
The sun is a powerful source of ultraviolet radiation, which causes DNA damage and genetic mutations that lead to the development of skin cancer. While it’s true that the sun’s UV levels are strongest when temperatures are high, the truth is you are exposed to the sun’s harmful rays all year round even in the winter.
In fact according to the World Health Organisation, fresh snow is a major reflector of UV radiation, which is why skiers wear goggles to protect their eyes from snow blindness. Wearing sunscreen every single day, no matter how warm it is outside, is the easiest and best way to prevent skin from absorbing these dangerous UV rays, especially if you are outdoors. It does not matter what season it is.
Not all sun damage looks the same. Any change in skin colour is a sign of sun damage, even if it’s not red. Although red or pink is a tell-tale sign that you have been burned, studies confirm that you can have a sunburn long before your skin becomes visibly pink.
You need adequate sunscreen protection no matter how warm it is outside, taking care to ensure extra protection during those midday hours. Each sunburn increases your odds of skin cancer. Though getting sunburnt doesn’t guarantee you will develop skin cancer in your lifetime, every single sunburn you get increases the risk that you will.
Note that Makeup alone should not be considered a substitute for sun protection. If you are spending any prolonged time outside, you will need to protect your skin with sunscreen. Hats, sunglasses and clothing designed for sun protection is an added bonus.
You can still get a tan wearing sunscreen, it all depends on the strength of the SPF.
SPF, is a measure of how well a sunscreen will protect the skin from UV rays. It is logical to think that an SPF of 30 is twice as good as an SPF of 15 and so on. According to Spencer, an SPF 15 product blocks about 93% of UV rays; an SPF of 30 product blocks 97% of UV rays; and an SPF of 50 product blocks about 98% of rays.

Step 3…The Serum
So you’re just starting to get the hang of cleansing, toning and moisturising twice a day and the beauty world throws you a curve ball. There’s a new miracle on the market, another step to the regime…. What is it going to do for you ? AND do you really need it ?? …. You’ll be amazed. It will be your “I can’t live without you BFF”
A serum is an Intensive Care product that you apply to your face after cleansing and before moisturising. Serums are pricey, and if its all about getting great results for you, then this is a step in your daily routine that you are not going to want to scrimp on.
Serums contain tiny molecules and inside these tiny molecules are pure active ingredients. The molecules are perfectly sized and weighted to enter the skin and deliver beautifying power peptides to the deepest layers of the skin. An intensive and unadulterated feeling of hydration is created.The serum is easily absorbed by the skin to achieve the highest degree of complexion correction and recovery.
The Power Peptides are amazing tools. Food for the skin in fact. Serum ingredients are potent cell stimulators, helping to increase collagen and accelerate wound healing and repair. Power Peptides are critical for correcting skin conditions.
Products that contain Vitamin C, Retinol and salicylic acid are ideal for reducing the effects of sun damage, ageing skin and acne prone skin. If your skin is lacking in moisture and needs plumping and firming look for serums that contain Vitamin E or Hyaluronic acid. If your skin is looking tired and dull, Epidermal Growth Factor is the new generation of anti-aging products that relaunches elastin and collagen production to provide a better skin radiance and complexion.
Save time and money when purchasing professional skin care. Seek advise from a certified Therapist. Book an appointment for a skin consultation in the privacy of a reputable skin Salon. Be advised on professional skin treatments available to prepare your skin to accept the new product range you wish to purchase.

Vitamin C
This essential vitamin is the most searched for beauty product and facial treatment. Vitamin C is adored by skincare experts, for its multifunction ability answers every skincare woe. I treat every skin with vitamin C during the facials, peels and ultrasound facial therapies.
Vitamin C is widely known for its anti-oxidant benefits that quenches free radicals and regenerates vitamin E. It is an important regulator brilliantly boosting collagen and normalises the changes caused by ultra induced photo-damage, also inhibiting the over production of melanin. It is best to include Vitamin C in your daily skincare regime for optimal anti-aging results.
