Secret Number 6

How to Look After Your Skin After Your Treatments

We want to keep you feeling good and always enjoying the benefits of great skin.  After your course of treatments, your on-going skin health can be looked after in 3 ways: good skin nutrition, a good skin care regime, and occasional maintenance and preventative treatments at the clinic.  As I have already covered good skin nutrition in secret no.5, I’ll focus this time on skin care and why occasional treatments are a good idea for maintenance and preventative reasons.

If you have had an Expert Skin Health Analysis – a free service we provide for all our clients – you will know the importance of achieving a good acidity (pH ) balance.  The skin care products you choose will play a big part on how well balanced your skin is.  The wrong products, with the wrong pH level, can upset the balance and lead to problems like excessive dryness and early ageing.  Choosing the right products will

·    Improve the performance of your skin barrier to help your skin retain its natural moisture

·    Reduce the risk of spots

·    Calm inflamed skin, including eczema

It’s important therefore that the products you choose are carefully matched to your skin and the usual trial and error, or ‘buying whatever’s on offer’ approach, really isn’t good enough. While some of the products we would recommend might at first sight seem expensive, they will be the right products for you and will work hard to improve your skin.  Most clinical grade products can be used sparingly and will in all probability save you hundreds of pounds wasted over the years on ineffective or unsuitable trial and error products.

We recommend, and hold in stock, the DermaQuest Skin Therapy range of cleansers, moisturisers, master products, sun protection and skin kits.  Whether you are considering treatments or not, we will be delighted to carry out a free Expert Skin Analysis on you and create your own personalised at home skin care regime using carefully matched Skin Therapy products.  You can request a Free Expert Skin Health Analysis by calling Chester clinic 01244 303464, Leeds clinic 0113 244 8999, Manchester clinic 0161 831 7007.

It’s important that the skin care regime is one that you can live with and which fits in with your lifestyle.  Sticking to the regime is important as the beneficial effects are cumulative and if you miss too many applications, you won’t see the benefits.  What you must do is ensure the skin is clean when you go to bed so that contaminants aren’t on the skin overnight, and pores can breathe.  Exfoliation should always be gentle so it doesn’t cause too much trauma, and you should avoid physical impact, extremes hot / cold, wind and sun burn!  Even perfume needs to be watched as it can contain very sensitising and irritating ingredients.

Beyond excellent skin care regime at home, your skin specialist will have talked to you about the wisdom of maintenance treatments (if applicable), and how SkinGuard^TM preventative treatments can help ward off future problems and soften the effects of ageing.  Our experience has taught us that occasional gentle stimulation from a gentle peel or microdermabrasion can make the skin more resilient to problems and give it a natural healthy look and vibrancy your friends will envy.

To your better skin
