Missing your Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion (MD) is the ultimate exfoliating facial and it works hard to get your skin in top condition.  MD removes all the build up of daily dirt and grime as well as stimulating new collagen production and working progressively through the layers of the skin to help with more stubborn concerns. Unfortunately, we can’t recreate this all for you at home, but if you are missing your microdermabrasion treatments then we have some great tips coming up on the blog to keep you going until you can get booked back in.

First tip is to get into a good skincare routine. You should be doing this anyway so now is a good time to get into the habit!

Good skincare routine

We always recommend having a good skincare routine, and this is now more important than ever. We asked our experts and Sarah Beeston our senior trainer recommends this home skincare routine to follow;

Step 1:

Gently clean your face using a cream-based cleanser or a mild face wash to remove the surface layer of grime.

Step 2.

Using a gentle face exfoliator, apply in sections and move fingers in a circular upward and outward motion to slough off dead skin, paying particular attention to areas where you feel a build up of dry skin like the nose or chin. Remove using damp cotton pads or, for a more luxurious feel, a warm flannel.

Step 3.

Apply a toner if you have one.

Step 4.

Mask: Apply a mask suitable for your skin type with either your fingers or a brush and leave on for 10-15 mins. We will be sharing a recipe you can make at home so keep an eye out for this!

Step 5.

Remove mask with damp cotton pads or a warm flannel 

Step 6.

Apply toner again if you have one.

Step 7.

Moisturise & SPF pop some moisturiser on your fingers and warm between hands apply using upward and outward strokes and don’t forget your neck! Finish with spf applied in the same way.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
