Healthy habits that lead to Great Skin

Hydrate yourself from the inside out

Start by drinking plenty of water.... this one's a non-negotiable. Water helps clear the toxins that cause inflammation. It also assists in transporting nutrients and oxygen to skin cells preventing dehydration, which can cause premature ageing. We recommend at least eight glasses of water each day, more if you're active or live in a warm climate, for healthy glowing skin. To add a little flavour, try a skin-soothing tea like chamomile, mint or lemon.


Healthy diet

Eating processed refined and sugary based foods harbour bad bacteria and toxins in your body. Eating plenty of fresh fruit, veggies, nuts and berries you're reducing the intake of toxins and instead fuelling your body with a cocktail of goodness, while fighting against those nasty free radicals that your body can accumulate. Your body will thank you with healthy flawless skin in no time and an energised body. Remember your skin is the largest organ of all!



Regular Exercise

Not only is exercise great for a strong heart and mind but it's also a very important key for having healthy skin by increasing blood flow! Exercise helps nourish skin cells and pumps blood that carries oxygen and nutrients to working cells throughout the body, including the skin. In addition to providing oxygen and blood flow exercise also helps carry away waste products, including free radicals. Regular exercise helps tones muscles and firmer muscles definitely help you look better overall.

Skin care routine

Cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate every night and apply your SPF every day! Cleaning the pollutants, makeup and dirt away from your skin is so important for skin health and fighting those nasty free radicals damaging our healthy cells. We also want to make sure we're on top of buffing away the dead skin cells so we don’t have a dull looking complexion. Finishing by nourishing our skin with a little infusion of vitamin c and hyaluronic acid. Don’t forget to book yourself in for a mid month enzyme peel treatment which works like little pac man chewing up any residual dead skin. At the same time infusing a cocktail of ingredients into the skin for a fresh faced look. Follow with an LED light therapy session to stimulate collagen production for an all over glow. This treatment is a must have for all skin types!!

Hygiene

Makeup brushes collect dirt and bacteria which can cause breakouts this is not what you want when you're trying to get healthy skin. You should wash your brushes every one to two weeks. Mix a couple of drops of gentle cleanser or shampoo and lukewarm water in a bowl, swish your brushes around, rinse with luke warm water, pat dry, and allow to air dry. Don’t forget to wash your pillow case every week and also don’t forget your phone that can harbour more bacteria then the toilet seat and were putting that to our face!


Go to bed early

It's called beauty sleep for a reason! Sleep deprivation lowers circulation, which give us dark puffy under eye circles if you only get a few hours. Your body's natural renewal system functions best at night, so by having a regular early night your body will say thank you. To make the most of your beauty sleep and get glowing skin, apply a hydrating mask just before bed.

Fabulous At Every Age

  • WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
    The Microdermabrasion Treatment is a skin resurfacing treatment suitable for all skin types. It combines a deep clean and exfoliation, extractions and antioxidant rejuvenation for instantly brighter, cleaner and clearer skin.
  • HOW DOES THE MICRODERMABRASION WORK?
    Using an abrasive hand-piece with vacuum suction directed onto the skin, it simultaneously exfoliates, clears blocked pores, buffs and polishes the skin for a smooth even complexion. This treatment is completed within half an hour. The Microdermabrasion treatment buffs and polishes the surface of the skin, stimulating the receptors in the epidermis which in turn stimulates the production of new skin cells in the deepest layer of the epidermis. This encourages the production of new epidermal skin cells, while the buffing and polishing action removes dead skin cells from the surface. Together this process creates glowing skin, refreshed with bright new skin cells. As we age the regeneration of skin cells slow down leaving our skin looking dull and lifeless, showing wrinkles, pores and old acne scarring, by stimulating the upper layers of the skin, we will begin the process of regeneration. We recommend combining with Skin Needling treatments to stimulate the second layer of the skin, the dermis. Clinical trials and studies of microdermabrasion show a smoother, more even and healthier looking epidermis. The results of Microdermabrasion are instant with little downtime. Your skin may be pink immediately after treatment, this subsides over the next few hours. For those with a more sensitive skin type it may appear pink to red until the next day.
  • WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
    It is normal to experience some redness immediately post treatment, which usually subsides within a few hours. Some people may experiences dryness or peel several days post treatment as the skin cells shed and fresh new skin cells are brought to the surface.
  • HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?
    You will notice improvements immediately after your first treatment. One treatment will improve the skin, however a series of treatments will give you long-term stimulation of the epidermis, leading to fresher, brighter looking skin. Depending on your age or the nature of why you are having the treatment, your skin therapist will discuss with you how many sessions it will take to get the results you're looking for. We recommend a course of 6 to 12 sessions depending on your skin focus and a maintenance session with every change in season.
  • WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY TREATMENT?
    The Microdermabrasion is performed as a multi-step process. First we will deeply cleanse and exfoliate your skin. Next we will perform the Microdermabrasion on your skin, and then apply a pumpkin enzyme peel to smooth the skin. This is followed by an extraction of blackheads and whiteheads. The final step offers rehydration where hyaluronic, peptides and an infusion of antioxidants and essential nutrients is applied to the skin. The entire treatment takes 30 minutes.
  • WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MY TREATMENT?
    You may experience slight redness for up to an hour following your treatment, similar to that after a workout. Otherwise you will notice instantly fresher, dewy, clear and glowing skin.
  • WHAT PRECAUTIONS CAN I TAKE PRE AND POST TREATMENT?
    As we have removed layers of dead skin cells, we recommend no scrubs, acids or anything harsh for 24-48 hours post treatment. We also recommend to not use any harsh products on the skin for at least two days before a treatment – specifically no Vitamin A or home masks. We always recommend the daily use of SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent the skin becoming sun damaged. Please apply at least once every two hours when out in the sun.
