It’s no secret that as we age, your skin gradually begins to slow its collagen production, which is what ultimately makes your skin appear smooth, plump, and supple. But with age, also comes many other skincare problems that may arise such as pigmentation, dark spots, eczema and many more ailments.
Investing in skincare treatments lay down the foundation for slowing down skin problems and preventing long term and permanent damage.
If you are expecting real change – it’s time to take skincare seriously! If you don’t start taking care of your skin from an early age, your skin will stay the same and probably get worse, depending on your particular issues and concerns.
Beauty and Aesthetics Technicians can’t help you if you don’t do your part. Your skin won’t change with the occasional use of any product. You will not see the results you are after. It takes a team… You. Your aesthetician. And professional skincare products.
Mariette and Carla Monteiro, owners of SkinPhD Queenswood Quarter, who are experts in the field of beauty and aesthetics, share five tips as to why skincare treatments are beneficial for the long term:
-
Prevent damage in the future
This is absolutely one of the number one reasons to invest in your skin health and regular treatments. Your skin never stops ageing and, just like the rest of your body, the older you get the faster it ages.
Fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, sagging, dryness, dullness, and texture issues can all be of concern with ageing skin. Our skin can also be more vulnerable to damage and disease as it starts to lose its youthfulness and ability to heal itself.
Professional treatments like chemical peels and laser treatments work to even out your skin tone, which means that scarring from environmental stresses and acne scars are less visible. You can expect your skin’s colour and texture to see an overall improvement. Treatments can also help prevent further acne scarring due to the reduction of breakouts.
-
Lymphatic drainage
During facial treatments, there is a good amount of massage that takes place. Not only does it relax you but also promotes lymphatic drainage. This helps remove toxins and promotes healthy blood circulation.
The aesthetician is trained on how to appropriately massage the face. Believe it or not, certain areas of the face need to be massaged in different ways. The best part about getting a facial is that the results are instant. Rarely do you come across a skin treatment or product that lives up to your high expectations. After just one facial, you will see an immediate improvement in the appearance of your skin.
-
Quality ingredients are important
Investment-worthy skincare is important! We believe that your skin is an investment and we take you on the most effective skin journey, personalised to your specific skin needs. No skin is the same as the next and every skin needs to be approached uniquely. This is where SkinPhD’s skin know-how, formulation expertise and the use of the most sought-after cosmeceutical ingredients at the right strength, makes all the difference.
SkinPhD, even though tailored in approach, is also all-inclusive. The range has been developed to counteract our unique South African environmental effects on the skin, with the inclusion of all genders, ages, and ethnicities. Poor quality skincare products are more likely to cause ineffective results, infections or even allergic reactions. Quality skincare products are more refined, with fewer bacteria and impurities.
-
Consistent quality treatments
Similar to the benefits that healthy food provides for your body, quality skin-care treatments can improve your skin. However, you can’t expect a once-monthly facial to change your skin if you keep doing the same things with the same products at home.
What you are or aren’t using at home has a big impact on your treatment success. The key is consistent professional product use at home combined with consistent treatments at your salon or clinic. SkinPhD Queenswood offers aesthetic face and body treatments that target all key areas of your body. These treatments should be regularly booked under your technician’s guidance.
-
Gives you that feel-good feeling
Last, but definitely not least, investing in your skin health by going for regular skincare treatments can help you feel good about being in your own skin. As they say, “love the skin you’re in”, but, let’s face it, as human beings we tend to be harder on ourselves than anyone else because being your own critic is a lot easier.
Many of us struggle with our self-image and how we feel about ourselves daily, and a lot of that stems down to skincare. Your skin health and appearance can have a dramatic effect on how you feel about what you see when you look in the mirror, which is why we at SkinPhD make it our mission to instil confidence back into the lives of our clients who seem to have lost a bit of their “glow”.
