Summer is in full bloom and we know that you still need a 'tweakment' or two to keep you looking fabulous. Here's news from us and some Summer beauty tips.
Summer Tip 1 - Botox & Fillers
You'll find your anti wrinkle treatments (b*tox) and the hyaluronic acid used in dermal fillers will degrade faster than usual during Summer as the heat and sunshine degrades the skin faster as UV rays cause the elastin fibers in your skin to break down faster causing it to sag, stretch, wrinkle, as well as other visible signs of aging in the face.
The toxin we love can wear off faster because it can disperse if the temperature of your body is not kept at a cool temperature. This includes direct sunshine as well as tanning beds which can also damage the skin due to UV rays.
Make sure you wear at least 30SPF and a hat will help. Jodie is here every Tuesday to top up and replace. Book your next top up around 3 months during the Summer months.
Summer Tip 2 - Skin Care
Skin care has one big rule in the Summer - cover your skin lavishly and often. A 30SPF is sufficient as long as you reapply it several times during the day. We spend a lot of time erasing pigmentation, age spots and other skin damage in the Autumn with microneedling and diode skin rejuvenation.
Remember that your sun screen should go on to your skin first. Let it dry and then layer your skin care products over it ending with your summer foundation. There are wonderful ones that combine SPF and tint making it easier to manage. Make up is NOT sunscreen!
Don't forget to use SPF30 on your lips too.
Summer Tip 3 - Hair & Scalps
We all relax about our hair in the Summer but while styles are relaxed and we may wash our hair less you should remember that UV radiation damages hair lipids (fats) – contained in your hair strand. We experience hair dryness, frizz, fading colour and weakened hair structure,
If you have fine or thinning hair your scalp may burn. You can use sunscreen powders, (which soak up grease and won’t cause unwanted build up), that are generally bettered suited for your scalp.
For the best cover wear a hat!
Summer Tip 4 - Nail and hands
Our hands take a beating in the sunshine. Skin degrades and so do our cuticles and nails. Sun damage can cause vertical ridges in your nails. Dryness of the cuticles, nails or hands leave you more likely to contract a fungal or bacterial infection. This is because cracked skin allows germs to access to your bloodstream and fungal infections can form.
Use SPF on your hand and reapply throughout the day. Find a nail builder base - we use The Gel Bottle nail builder - which promotes nail health.
Julie is on hand (no pun intended) for mani's and pedi's or just a quick re-paint. Call or text us to book in.
