How Can I Make My Skin Look Radiant?

Question*

My daughter is getting married soon after Christmas this year. I know I have left it a bit late, but I want my skin to look radiant! It is looking a bit blotchy as a result of too much sun and fine lines on my cheeks and around my eyes are really beginning to bother me.

Answer

Sarah, I know it can be quite daunting to know where to start, and certainly we cannot cheat our way to a perfectly clear and luminous skin, but nevertheless there are a few quick fixes for you to consider – after all, you are the mother of the bride and are justified in wanting to look your best.

I would recommend starting with a couple of Pumpkin Enzyme Resurfacer Peels to tackle the blotchiness problems. They are very gentle and safe but offer instant, visible results, and also are great for eradicating fine lines and to help stimulate collagen production.

Microdermabrasion is another consideration, followed by IPL (Intense Pulse Light). The Microdermabrasion is very gentle yet ever so effective for getting rid of damaged dead cells and will greatly improve the texture and tone of the skin. Then if you follow immediately with the IPL Skin Rejuvenation it gets to work on the uneven pigmentation targeting the brown and red pigment to reveal the beautiful even toned skin beneath. Do however allow a week for the dark patches to fade and flake.

I can guarantee after these fairly intense but extremely gentle and safe treatments you will be delighted with your perfectly balanced and glowing complexion.

Finally, never be without your sunscreen!

Warm regards,

How Can I Prepare My Skin for the Winter Weather?

Question*

Now that winter is approaching, and as my skin has had some sun abuse in the summer months, I want to try and repair and rectify my skin – so I need to do a home care routine that will help my situation. I am conscious of not having a dried out prune face as the air in these coming months is so dry.

Answer

Hi Claire,

Yes, the seasons do matter a great deal and it is a good idea to invest in a different set of products for summer and winter. Cold winter air can be very harsh to the skin and indoor heating very dehydrating. Use products which are deeply moisturising and protect the skin’s lipid barrier, and then in summer switch to lighter moisturisers, serums and so on.

Nourishing, moisturising masks applied twice a week do wonders in alleviating that dry, tight, uncomfortable feeling of dehydrated skin and really help to revive a dull complexion. The Guinot Hydradermie is a salon treatment facial to deeply moisturise and rejuvenate a dry, tired winter skin.

So do be prepared to vary your routine as the condition of our skin does change week-by-week and month-by-month and can alter dramatically over the course of a lifetime.

Warm regards,

Jill Zander

Revitalise Your Skin this Winter

November is already upon us, the days are getting shorter and the evenings are getting chillier, and many of us are already feeling the effects of the cold weather on our skin. Not only will our tans have faded, but the winter also tends to make our skin look drab, dull and feel dry.

But now you can ditch the dull skin once and for all and revitalise with a combination of our HydraFacial and Harmony Instant Skin Tightening treatments, to achieve radiant and youthful skin in an instant!

It may be mad to think, but Christmas is fast approaching us and I’m sure some of us have already got parties booked in our calendars, which means we should take some time to pamper and prepare our skin to be glowing over winter.  Here’s how we can achieve this, using two fabulous treatments that complement each other:

HydraFacial

The first step to achieving beautiful skin is to start of with our wonderful non-invasive HydraFacial treatment, which is the only hydradermabrasion procedure which combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection simultaneously, resulting in reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and overall, improving the skin’s texture for visibly brighter skin.

Harmony Instant Skin Tightening

The next step to perfect skin is our Harmony Instant Skin Tightening treatment, which instantly tightens up any loose skin on your face or saggy jowls to regain a more youthful, contoured appearance.

The quick and painless treatment uses the Near Infra-red laser to target lipids and connective tissue to tighten collagen and encourage new collagen to produce, for an immediate dramatic result.

The HydraFacial and Harmony Instant Skin Tightening both complement each other. Having the treatments can help you achieve outstanding results so that you’ll definitely be glowing this winter!
