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.

- Dermapen Skin Needling

Ruth Crawley Beauty … “The Salon Near You” is celebrating her eighteenth year of success in the Beauty Industry.
I completed my training at The Australian College of Beauty Therapy in East Maitland back in 2001, and plunged straight into setting up my first Salon. It was a stellar success from the start. Makeup, nails, facials, waxing, massage…. I was on my way and soon to discover my true passion….The Rejuvenation and Restoration of the Skin!!!!!
It was when I opened my New Salon in Heddon Greta in 2007 I started to accomplish my real goals. From Relaxation Facials and Glycolic Peels, I introduced the beloved and still very favourable today, Microdermabrasion and Galvanic current.The phone was ringing and appointments were being placed for the new sought after service I was able to proudly provide.
By 2009 I was in Melbourne studying with The Flemming Institute for my Laser Safety Credentials. I purchased my first of two IPL machines two months later. Trending Photorejuvenation and permanent hair removal were now the new services I was able to provide and add to the Salon Menu. LED Sapphire Photonlight for wound healing and skin Rejuvenation was introduced next followed by the Ultrasound and Oxygen Facial Therapy. I had achieved my goal. I had a professional skin clinic.
Just when you think there is nothing more you need…!!!!
Along comes The new Dermapen 4 ….. Reinventing Micro Needling and an award winning breakthrough in technology. Dermapen 4 is here to rewrite your skins history!!

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.
