Clear skin and clean skin are closely linked. A clear complexion we all desire. It is a sign of good health and vitality. My choice of cleansers for decades has been from the Crystal Clear skincare range. They are excellent value and suitable for even sensitive skins as soap free. No tautness or feeling of dryness. A dry sensation is to be avoided as the skin will react and compensate with excessive sebaceous secretion. There is no stinging of the eyes as it removes eye make up as well as face make up. Only the smallest amount of product is required. Add to it warm water and you will have an instant foam which I love becaue it allows you to move over the face freely. An excellent soft massage medium Crystal Clear Cleansing Gel can be used by all the family. Adolescents and dad will benefit as it can double as a shaving foam suitable for sensitive skins. If heavy foundation is used a second cleanse may be required.

To protect your skin cells from the effects of UV and particulary UVA a stabilised form of Virtamin C (L-ASCORBIC ACID) is essential. The concentration and pH is vital .For effective absoprtion the ph must be low. UVA rays pe*****te 30 to 40 times deeper than UVB. The result of photo damage manifests in wrinkles, brown spots and solar keratoses. Photoaging and skin cancer studies indicate that topical suncreams are worn in insufficent amounts to award the necessary protection.
Sun is not the only environmental threat to healthy skin tissue. Smoking ,air pollution, blue light also compromise the skin well being and colllagen .Topical L-Ascorbic acid should be used respectfully. There may initially be some sensitivity due to the acidic nature of the product, which is essential for true absorption so I advise introducing gradually.
Medik8 have a simple philosophy of vitamin C plus sunscreen by day and vitamin A by night.

June, Acne Awareness Month.
Acne sufferers are aware everyday of the condition but this month is an opportunity for non suffers to be more aware. Years ago I remember a dermatologist saying a single spot was potentially acne which I thought somewhat dramatic bu it is amazing how the inflammation and bacteria can take a hold.
Acne is a dermatological disorder. It is highly visible, can affect all ages and can have a profound psychological impact.
The condition is aggravated by the follicles becoming congested . Retinoids can aid the exfoliation whilst BHA salicylic acid can pe*****te the sebaceous material and unblock pores.
Bio Therapeutic Quickly Clear Acne Facial aims to correct outbreak problems. The treatment includes exfoliation and uses a micro ultrasonic tool with a salicylic.solution.

Liquid Peptide Advanced MP new to the Medik8 product line. Peptides are already established as the powerhouse and building blocks of skin welfare. There are many different formulas with each having a different influence.
Medik8 claim that the appearance of expression lines diminish in 10 minutes and deep set wrinkles in 8 weeks. The first claim I think an exaggeration although the skin looks hydrated and plump so not entirely misleading. The second claim has credence which is impressive.
The product has attracted a male following which is interesting. I think the simplicity of the process is appealing as this is a home product primarily. In salon I have combined it with the Venus Viva on deep expression lines and gained very good results. The product can be used day and evening and does not carry sun exposure warnings. The full regime recommended is in keeping with Medik8's CSA philosophy. Vitamin c in the day and vitamin A at night.

The Glass facial is designed to achieve a smooth, flawless complexion reminiscent of glass. Korean culture is full of ritual and multi step and unique traditions. Purity and harmony with nature were key components of their lifestyle.
Here is an introduction to the fabulous Bt Glass facial. A double cleanse ensures the skin is clear of all physical or environmental 'dirt'. The exfoliation that follows may vary depending on skin type and resilience but nano needling (no needles used!) leaves the skin especially even and calm.
The next stage I love. The bt cocktail ampoule of moss extracts and botanicals contacts the skin with magical results. It feels luxurious and is perfect to massage onto and infuse into the skin for protection, radiance and light reflection. To follow mask ,serum and cream to ensure critical moisture is replenished into the tissue.

As we come out of winter hibernation and our high necked clothing and scarves the neck and decollete ( chest area) become a focus.. A range of treatments, Venus Viva, needling, Sisneo electroporation, Accord plasma, skin peels can revive these frequently neglected areas of the body but after winter they lack luster and luminosity and sun damage that you were not aware of, forgotten or ignored is suddenly blatant.
Necks become increasingly flaccid in the lower area but extra chins mysteriously appear under the jawline. Venus Viva gets to work on both the fat and the flaccid. Treatment parameters adjust to both define and tighten. The neck can be too sensitive and frail to skin needle but the gentler form of nano micro needling can be applied and combined with LED. for regeneration, nourishing and smoothing.

Skin resurfacing and facial sculpting with Venus Viva.
Venus Viva is the ideal device to tighten skin, improve texture and pore size. Safe in all seasons and on all skin types. Venus will deliver both controlled ablation and collagenisis. Treatment of the outer and inner skin tissue. Ablation is the altering of tissue by vaporization on the skin surface and below. Deeper selected and controlled use of high temperatures prompts collagen production. The smart scan technology of Venus Viva makes for a more comfortable and effective delivery of the energy. Affected protein fibers shrink and disperse through ‘cell death pathways.’ As a consequence the body produces new collagen and elastin fibers for a firmer rejuvenated skin. Watch your skin renew.
Venus results are fast with visible improvement after a single treatment but best outcomes require a series of treatments.

Professional hand care treatments can have many benefits
Hands age at varying rates. With time sun spots, cracks, callouses and the flattening of once plump tissues occurs and the hands can appear sinewy with prominent veins. The skin on the hands is almost as thin as that around the eyes and with an absence of sebaceous glands wear and tear shows.
Environmental exposure throughout the seasons is tough on the hands. In winter the cold and in the summer the sun. Washing the hands and the use of antibacterial products mean that hand cream is constantly disturbed. Treatment overnight leads to better results. For home treatment exfoliate and nourish. Choose from your face and body products. Use a mask whilst watching TV. and apply a serum overnight.
In the salon Daydreams can further increase results by applying a light peel or using Crystal Clear microdermabrasion on sun spots. Nourishment of the skin is intensified with microcurrent mitts or warm gloves. LED light on the hands can be a stsand alone treat or added in at the time of a facial

Sensitive skin remedies
Increasingly clients perceive and describe their skins as sensitive.
There is though a difference between a sensitive skin and a sensitized skin.
A truly sensitive skin is usually genetic. One would expect the skin to be thinner and paler with blood vessels closer to the surface. Blushing is more visible as a consequence with red thread veins and spider veins more apparent. The veins may appear in a spider shape with veins radiating out, in a branch formation or just be linear. There are various treatment methods and for larger areas you can expect good results from an IPL light therapy treatment especially if the skin is fair.
For small areas of thread veins, individual red blood spots and simple red linear veins often found on the inside of the knee Daydreams has an electrotherapy system that, without breaking the skin, achieves good results. The pre-disposition to dilated capillaries in fragile skin remains and in time others may manifest.
