IS HAVING A DEEP SKIN FACIAL BEFORE YOUR HOLIDAY GOOD IDEA?

IS HAVING A DEEP SKIN FACIAL BEFORE YOUR HOLIDAY GOOD IDEA?

School term is almost over and the next thing you know, half of the UK  will be on the way to their favorite holiday destination. BUT, just before we go, in the last 2-3 days we need to tighten all ends and finish all jobs including of course small mini luxury treats like nails and bikini waxing. Interestingly, this time of the year the demand for Deep Skin Facial  “just before my holiday” escalates dramatically.

Although, our customers would wish their faces to be deeply scrubbed we advise to postpone the treatment until 2-3 weeks after their return. This may go a different way with what other salons and clinic have to offer. There are many pre-holiday packages advertised in all possible forms and shapes. In our clinic we provide advice based on our medical background, body physiology knowledge and interests of our customers.

To understand why we miss an extra money earning opportunity, you need to know some important facts about your skin and its functions.

Skin, the body’s largest organ, is our first and best defense against external aggressors. When skin is healthy, its many layers work hard to PROTECT us, but when its condition is compromised, its ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired. The use of right products help to protect skin, support its natural defense, keep it looking and feeling its natural best and help it to do its “barrier” job.

Skin is the ultimate multi-tasker, performing many functions that are essential to our overall wellbeing.

It plays an important psychological role. As the most visible indication of health, the condition of our skin affects how we feel about ourselves and how others view us. But skin’s most important role is as the first line of defence between our bodies and the world we live in. It protects us and helps to keep us healthy by:

  • Maintaining the balance of fluids in the body. Binding in moisture when necessary and preventing moisture loss.
  • Regulating body temperature: it insulates our body, conserves heat in cold conditions and perspires to cool the body down when it gets hot.
  • Sensing pressure and pain: absorbing shock and alerting us to danger.
  • Guarding the whole body from external aggressors including harmful sun rays.

Over-exposure to UV harmful rays generates free radicals. These excessive free radicals (oxygen molecules) cause cell damage. The more damage they cause, the higher the chance of developing wrinkles, unwanted pigmentation, chronic illness and other diseases including skin cancer.

Skin consists of three main layers – the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutaneous layer – each of which contributes to skin’s protective abilities. The outermost layers of skin (the epidermis) form a protective barrier against environmental influences. The external layer of the epidermis – the stratum corneum or horny layer – is made up of dead cells embedded in epidermal lipids and is covered by the hydrolipid film which includes the acid mantle.

Therefore, the point we make to declining our customers’ demand is based on a simple logical theory that all skin layers work in union and the epidermis layer serves an important role. Weakening this layer by deep exfoliation will diminish the protective ability of the skin.

Furthermore… The best organic scrub usually contains salt. Going on holiday try to swim in the sea as much as possible. Sea water consists of natural salts and minerals which will be gently scrubbing your face daily. A sea breeze which is always present on the beach contains small particles of sand. It will also naturally exfoliate your skin cleaning away problem-causing dirt and oil.

We always ask our customers to remember how their skin looked like right after their return home and NOBODY said that their skin looked bad! Even people with Acne prone skin commented that after holiday the skin looked smoother and the amount of spots significantly reduced.

So, only when your golden tan starts to fade and you go back to your normal make up routine, will you be more than welcome to book for a DEEP SKIN FACIAL with us. People who use a lot of oily sun protection products may have this treatment as soon as they are back.

Intelligent sun protection should be an essential part of your morning skincare routine in the UK when it’s sunny and especially when you are abroad. We offer SUN SENSE oil free beige tinted SPF 50+ sun protection cream which earned a 100% positive response from our customers. It is available both ONLINE and at the clinic for £20.
