What is Skinification?
Skinification refers to the transitioning of popular facial skincare ingredients, treatments and trends into bodycare, shower and scalp products. This shift promotes putting the same dedicated care and attention into these areas as individuals do their face care. Skinification has surpassed being a trend for many, and instead has become a key lifestyle choice.
Implementing Skinification
This trend is not about incorporating expensive products or creating a 20-step routine. Instead, it is about being mindful and considered when looking after your skin, and prioritising overall wellbeing.
SkinBase Skinification
The range of SkinBase treatments are incredibly popular facials, as clients resurface with Microdermabrasion, sculpt with Collagen Lift, boost with Hydro and heal with IPL. However, the treatments are each incredibly versatile, and can be used across the body for transformational results.
SkinBase Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion can be used on the back, tummy, arms, legs, hands and feet to banish concerns and rejuvenate the skin. Incorporate SkinBase Microdermabrasion into your Skinification routine and treat uncomfortable ‘bacne’, enhance a mani-pedi, or minimise the appearance of stretch marks.

SkinBase Collagen Lift
Collagen Lift uses radio-frequency energy to tighten, firm and sculpt the skin. As a facial, this means smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, firming jowls and sculpting the jawline. These same benefits can be applied to the body with Skinification. Entries into the Transformation of the Year competition have evidenced just how effective SkinBase Collagen Lift body treatments are. Clients have achieved rejuvenated necks, firmer tummies, smoother arms and toned legs after a course of treatments. See the Collagen Lift before and after images here.
SkinBase Intense Pulsed Light
IPL is a light based therapy with uses in hair reduction and advanced therapies. Intense Pulsed Light facials banish a range of skin concerns, including: acne, unwanted facial hair, premature signs of ageing, thread veins, pigmentation and rosacea. IPL body treatments are also incredibly popular, as clients treat a variety of unwanted hair and skin problems. IPL hair treatments are commonly used to rid the underarms and legs of unwanted hair, for a confidence boost. Find out more here.
SkinBase Hydro
Hydro uses a combined approach of a peel and a targeted serum to provide a rejuvenating facial for SkinBase clients. It is a perfect Skinification treatment. To recap, Skinification is the process of transitioning popular facial skincare ingredients into bodycare. SkinBase Hydro is all about the ingredients.
Renewing Serum
The renewing serum allows you to achieve a youthful, refreshed appearance post-treatment, due to the hardworking active ingredients. Hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, hydrolysed soybean extract… the list goes on. When used across the body, the renewing serum can rejuvenate tired hands, enhance hydration, improve texture and strengthen collagen fibres within the skin.
Clarifying Serum
The clarifying serum clears and calms your complexion, with a range of anti-inflammatory ingredients. When used across the body, ingredients such as niacinamide, citric acid and arnica montana flower extract can regulate excess oils, accelerate tissue healing, repair past damage and improve the skin barrier. This is excellent for acne-prone areas, such as the chest, arms and back.
Brightening Serum
The brightening serum allows you to achieve a brighter, more even-toned appearance post-treatment, due to the hardworking active ingredients. Niacinamide, Ascorbic Acid, Kojic Acid … the range of fantastic ingredients have a variety of benefits across the body too. Pigmentation resulting from sun damage can arise across the body wherever the sun may touch. The brightening serum can be used to combat this discolouration, fading hyperpigmentation and preventing the formation of melanin within the skin.
