25.01.2022 From this to THIS! Achievable results with a @footlogix medi pedi and homecare

24.01.2022 The good news is there is no proven connection between chocolate and breakouts. The bad news is there is a connection between dairy and sugar Sorry. That’s not funny. ... The link between food and acne has always been a bit controversial and the jury is still out with little conclusive evidence. The important thing to remember is that food isn’t really a cause of acne. It can, rather, make pre-existing acne worse. So a lot of experts agree that if you have acne, stay clear of the following or try and limit them: foods and drinks high in sugar eg soft drinks starches eg white bread, pasta refined carbs processed foods cows milk foods high in omega 6 With alot of these foods, it comes down to this: they increase blood sugar levels insulin levels increase insulin makes androgen hormones more active androgens cause an increase in oil production in the skin excess oil can lead to congestion and breakouts. In the case of cows milk, there is also a belief that the hormones in cows milk can aggravate acne. Your call.

24.01.2022 @fullbrow brow powder. If you don’t know where to start with brow cosmetics. If you’re overwhelmed by pencils, pomades and crayons. Start with powder. Always start with powder and a brush. Simple. Powder will give you a natural look and is very forgiving, unlike pomades or clays. If you over-apply, a quick flick with your brow brush will shift excess colour. Powder easily fills in any gaps, adds colour, gives the illusion of fuller brows and enhances your shape. That’s why they gave it a spot in the Essential Brow Kit Try it for yourself and see. Available in salon and online x

22.01.2022 So you’re back in ugg boots now and reacquainted with your electric blanket... So why are we talking SPF? Because it’s important! EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. We don’t stop treating ageing skin or pigmentation in winter so don’t stop your first line of defence. So we’ve all been taught, we put suncream on, we re-apply every two hours. Ok. What about if you’re wearing makeup. Things get a little challenging. If you put a moisturiser with an SPF of 30 on your skin in the morning, fo...llowed by a foundation with an SPF of 15, does that mean you’ve got SPF 45?! No. It doesn’t. Your SPF is only as high as the highest SPF product so in this case, SPF 30. Layering sun protection products is still a good idea, though, because you have a safety net. Here’s why: it’s hard to know if you’ve applied the correct amount of product to get the marketed SPF rating. If you only apply one third of the recommended amount, you only get one third of the SPF protection! To achieve the SPF on your makeup, you’d probably have to apply more than you normally would so this should not be your primary sun protection. You’ll be better protected if you apply moisturiser, then suncream then makeup. There is also the issue that cosmetics with an included SPF will only give sun protection for up to two hours if you’re out in the sun, just like any other sun protecting product. We obviously can’t re-apply our makeup every two hours, so if you know you’re going to be outdoors for an extended length of time (like a day at the beach), maybe swap your makeup for a product like O Cosmedics Mineral Pro SPF 30 (tinted), which you can re-apply easily. Ok. So what if I put an SPF on in the morning, go to work indoors for the day... am I still protected when I leave work in the afternoon or on my lunch break? Yes! Suncreams break down due to direct exposure to daylight; not time. So your morning application will be enough to protect you on your way home.

22.01.2022 @fullbrow brow kits are here! And they’re so pretty! Now all you have to do is decide whether you want a natural brow, a bold brow or a voluminous brow! If you’re a little unsure about which brow product is best for you and how to apply it, you can sit down with me (when we re-open) in our brow bar and I can colour match you and show you how to apply products to enhance your brows.

21.01.2022 So many great industry workshops and seminars online during these past few weeks! Today was Day 1 of 3 with @dermalandlaser on Pigmentation and Melasma #alwayslearning #skin #onlinetraining #tadli #pigmentation #beautytherapy #skintherapy #skintreatments #skincare

20.01.2022 Blackheads are open comedones. The follicle is blocked with dead cells, oil, bacteria and perhaps dirt and makeup. The black appearance is due to the oxidation of the oil. If you have an oily, thickened skin with large blackheads, these can be manually extracted during a deep cleansing detox facial. For other skins, you can use professional products to dissolve the plugs. Make friends with salicylic acid. It’s a BHA (beta hydroxy acid). Unlike AHA’s (alpha hydroxy acids) whic...h exfoliate by dissolving the glue that holds the cells together, salicylic acid is able to penetrate the pores and dissolve the blockages. It’s great for clearing the skin of both open and closed comedones (whiteheads). It has the added benefit of being an anti-irritant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. Find it in @ocosmedics Corrective Cleanser & Peel and the Potent Clearing Serum. Other exfoliants like granular scrubs are good to prevent cell build up but they’re unlikely to be able to remove blackheads as they can’t penetrate the follicle or liquify it’s contents. Avoid DIY extractions at home. This can cause inflammation, spread bacteria and lead to post-inflammatory pigmentation. Instead, try masks which have a drawing effect on the skin, which help to remove impurities. And remember, like all skin conditions, your blackheads didn’t pop up overnight. There is no magic overnight fix. It’s also worth adding retinol and niacinamide to your skin care routine and EFA’s to your diet if you battle with excess oil as these ingredients help to regulate oil. Retinol is particularly good as it normalises follicles and oil glands, reducing blockages and inflammation from P acne bacteria. It also helps in the natural process of cell turnover. In-salon microdermabrasion and peels can also be beneficial in the treatment of blackheads. Remember: Cleanse once in the morning to remove dead cells, sweat and sebum which has accumulated on the skin’s surface overnight and twice in the evening if you wear makeup. Also cleanse after heavy sweating. Don’t wear makeup to bed. Exfoliate weekly. Use good quality skincare and makeup with skin-loving ingredients

19.01.2022 Our skin type is largely genetic and it refers to the amount of oil in our skin. You can be oily, dry or a combination skin type which is usually oily down the t-zone and normal or slightly dry on the cheeks. You can also be ‘normal’ which means you have a balanced, healthy oil flow. There are a few things which can make our skin drier: AGE. As we get older, our skin’s metabolism slows and so the production of natural oils slows. Our hormone levels decrease which has a direc...t impact on oil production. Years of unprotected sun exposure can also dry out the skin and deplete it’s levels of essential fatty acids. SEASONAL CHANGES. We tend to feel drier in winter. Harsh conditions of wind and cold wreak havoc on the skin. Humidity in the air usually deters dryness and flaking but in the colder months, is particularly low. We go to and fro between cold, dry air and artificially heated environments of hot, dry air which affect our oil and moisture levels in the skin. INCORRECT PRODUCT USE. Using soap and water to cleanse Using cleansers with ingredients like SLS or SLES that can dry or strip the skin of natural oils. Using harsh scrubs to exfoliate. Using hot water to cleanse. Over cleansing. Using skin care not suited to your skin. All of these skin care sins can dry out the skin. Some skins will try to over-compensate by producing more oil. These skins can feel both oily and dry at the same time but it’s more to do with the fact that you’ve stripped the protective acid mantle and dehydrated the skin. ROACCUTANE. If you’ve taken medically prescribed oral vitamin A to treat severe acne, one of its side effects is severe dryness of the skin as one of its functions is to shrink the sebaceous glands, meaning less oil production. ORAL CONTRACEPTIVE PILL HIGH IN ESTROGEN. Is known to reduce oil flow by about 20%, to treat acne. So can we get oilier too? Yep! HORMONAL IMBALANCE. Androgen hormones directly impact our oil production. A rise in these hormones eg during puberty, means more oil. HUMIDITY/CHANGE IN CLIMATE. With every one degree rise in temperature, we produce 10% more oil! Remember feeling particularly greasy during that trip to Cairns?

14.01.2022 Different exfoliants suit different skin types and conditions. GRANULAR SCRUBS. These contain physical exfoliating ingredients like cranberry seeds, jojoba beads and diatomaceous earth to physically slough off dead skin cells. They’re generally for all skins, depending on how abrasive they are but avoid them if you have inflamed, pustular acne or vascular conditions like rosacea, dilated capillaries etc. Best for a normal or congested skin. Apply to wet skin. AHA PEELS. The...se chemical exfoliants are applied in a thin layer to dry skin, like a mask, and left to do their thing. AHA’s work by dissolving the glue that holds the cells together. You’ll probably experience a bit of a tingling or stinging sensation due to the acids. Common ones are glycolic, lactic or citric. The result: smooth and bright skin! Not for sensitive skin. Good for problem skins where an abrasive exfoliant would only rupture pustules, spread bacteria and increase inflammation. ENZYME EXFOLIANTS. Similar to an AHA Peel, we apply this one like a thin mask too. But this one contains enzymes like papain (from papaya) or bromelain (from pineapple). If you think of the enzymes like little Pac Man that run around digesting the dead cells. You might get a slight tingle but usually not as much as an AHA exfoliant. Probably the most gentle route to soft, smooth skin. Exfoliation is important for all skins. Our cell turnover slows as we age so we need to give it a bit of a boost to prevent unwanted skin conditions. Don’t go silly, though! 1-2 times a week is usually sufficient! Book in for a Skin Analysis with Liz to find out which products are best for your skin. We can also take them for a test drive at our Skin Bar to make sure you know how to properly apply them at home.

02.01.2022 If you’re serious about treating your ageing skin, Vitamin A is a must in your skin care routine! Vitamin A, in the form of retinol or retinaldehyde in your serum or moisturiser, will help to normalise, strengthen and repair the skin. Remember, retinol is photo-sensitising so must be used of an evening, supported by an SPF every day and cannot be used during pregnancy. It strengthens the skin’s barrier function, reducing moisture loss, thickens the epidermis and preserves and... stimulates collagen. It improves all skin conditions; not just ageing. Great for pigmentation as it brightens, exfoliates and reduces melanin synthesis by stopping the tyrosinase enzyme from over-producing melanin. Beneficial for skins with an impaired barrier, like sensitised or rosacea. Perfect for problem skins as it helps to normalise oily secretions by reducing the size of oil glands and therefore the amount of oil produced; reduces blockages in the follicle; normalises the rate of cell turnover and reduces inflammation from P acne bacteria! And here’s the biggie for ageing... vitamin A reverses photo-ageing by repairing DNA damage in the cells (I hope that’s the emoji for mind blown)! If you’re new to retinol, start with @ocosmedics Retinoic Oil before progressing to our retinol serums. Skins need to acclimatise to Vitamin A. It should be introduced slowly but regularly. We produce Vitamin A naturally in our bodies but our stores are depleted with sun exposure. If we introduce it to the skin topically at too high a concentration, it is common to experience a slight retinoid response in the form of slight flushing of the skin, tingling or a few spots. This response subsides pretty quickly and is of no concern. You just need to reduce the potency and frequency until your skin can tolerate it. It’s actually a good thing. The vitamin A receptors in your skin have woken up! The cells are ready to up their game!
