Improving Your Skin Texture

Some men and women have skin that has large pores, scars, discolouration, sun damage and other things that can make them feel slightly uncomfortable.  Some people don't care, but for those who do, what can be done about it? Women can wear makeup which can cover up some flaws and imperfections, but there are alternative options for something more permanent.

At our Day Spa, we focus on non invasive treatments that aren't harsh on the skin or involve the use of chemicals.  It's important to ensure the skin responds to treatment, that the treatment doesn't thin the skin or cause other damage.  We use and recommend facial exfoliation, microdermabrasion and fruit acids that can create a light peel for the skin. If you have these treatments regularly over a period of time, performed by a skin care professional, you will see a great different in the texture of your skin.  Of course for very deep scars clients will need to discuss treatment with their Doctor.

Microdermabrasion is very gentle on the skin and minimally abrasive. It stimulates blood flow and increases nutrition delivered to the skin.  6 treatments are recommended for best results. Our clients opt for microdermabrasion as it can improve the signs of ageing and it is a very cost effective treatment.  The machine is normally used for about 15 minutes depending on the areas covered, longer if you want your neck and decolletage treated as well. We perform microdermabrasion with a nourishing facial to keep clients skin hydrated.

The Benefits Of A Good Quality Make Up Brush

Before I started working in the beauty industry, my daughter (who is a qualified Beauty Therapist) was horrified one morning to see me putting on my make up with my fingers and not a make up brush.  She gave me a lecture about germs and coverage etc, and bought me a top quality professional brush.  I gave the brush a go, and loved it, but I found it absorbed the make up. I was going through my bottle faster than usual.  Being a lady who likes to watch her pennies, I didn't like the idea of using more make up, and went back to the old finger technique.

Once I started running my own Day Spa, I was naturally impelled to use the products we retail and recommend to our clients.  This also meant by default I had to use the make up brush that we retailed with the make up.  I must admit I was worried about the increased use in make up and the associated costs, however I was assured by my experienced staff that this brush didn't soak up the make up.

Well, I am converted!  I love the make up and the brush, which I use every day.  The brush ensures hygiene, an even coverage and better finish.  I would recommend everyone who wears make up to use a professional make up brush.  Just remember to give your brush a good clean regularly.

Contact us today to find out which brushes we recommend and what you can use to clean your brush.  You'll never want to use your fingers again!

Customised Beauty for 2017

It is important for those in the Beauty and Day Spa industries to ensure their services and products are flexible and can be customised for each individual client.  We all know how different our needs are.  In this age of disruption where business ideas are moving forward in leaps in bounds in an attempt to turn traditional business practices on its head, beauty salons and day spas need to ensure that they can cater for individual needs, or risk being outdated.

When we customise our services for our clients, we take the time out to talk to them about their needs, what they are looking for and if they have anything of concern that needs to be considered during the treatment.  We use essential oils in specific massages that suit our clients requirements.  We also look at the skin and assess the clients needs when conducting facials.  If our clients have a disability or injury we make sure we can cater to their specific requirements and ensure their comfort. Spa parties are also customised to suit the requirements of our clients.

In an attempt to take customisation a step further, we are introducing a new service in our salon where clients can customise their own essential oil blends with our guidance, to address issues such as stress, headaches, sleeplessness etc.  Clients will also be able to create a perfume they like to wear each day (with no alcohol) that suits their own personal taste.  This element of customisation is giving the client a unique experience which allows them to control the end product - a scent they love!

Why not customise beauty, after all it's personal.
