Dehydrated Winter Skin

Tuesday, May 15, 2012

During the winter months skin can feel tight, dry and scaly which can all be attributed to the loss of
moisture in the skin and the thickening of the outer layers of skin (stratumcorneum).
Simply by accelerating the exfoliation process and allowing the secretion of your
natural oils will help reduce the skin’s tautness.

The application of creams and serums containing ingredients that not only form an occlusive barrier to
prevent moisture loss but actually draw moisture particles from the atmosphere to the skin offer relief and
comfort to dry skin.There is no need to tolerate dry skin with these technological advances where skin
can be kept comfortable, supple, firm and well toned throughout the winter months.
Treatments at Beautiful Image for dehydrated dry skin.

We have a range of hydration treatments and intense moisturising skin care products help to restore
skin’s natural lubricants by decreasing the amount of dead skin cells which build up in the winter months.
During a consultation your paramedical skin technician may recommend some of the following
treatments:
Microdermabrasion, Specialised Environ Treatments, Specialsied Peels, LED Light Therapy Treatments,
Green Peel and IPL Photo-rejuvenation.

These treatments increase the microcirculation which intern supplies nutrients to the skin and provides
healthy colour and vitality. These treatments quickly stimulate rapid cell renewal encouraging the new
healthy cells to migrate to the surface of the skin surface along with the vital lubricants that naturally
hydrate the skin.

How good is Microdermabrasion really?

Myth

I have Microdermabrasion regularly for at least 30 minutes with my beautician so it removes all that build up of dry skin.

Truth

Microdermabrasion is still a great tool 15 years later but just to use to wake up the skin by using it for only 4 mins or so depending on the skin type. Our skin becomes lazy as we age actually from the age of about 30 and it needs to be rallied gentle back to action to get it to flick your dead cells off so your essential vitamins can be absorbed.
