Sharon's Top 5 Skin Care Tips

Your skin is a barometer of what is going on inside your body, and many skin conditions, from eczema to acne to signs of aging, can simply be a reflection of your body’s internal needs and many of these needs are nutritional ones.

Our outer layer of skin is all brand new every 28 days so we have an incredible ability to alter the way our skin looks, feels and shines, by firstly changing what we put into our bodies. Here are some tips on foods and drinks to incorporate into your diet for healthy glowing skin:

1. Drink plenty of water

When we are born scientists suggest our bodies are about 75% water and during our adult life the water content of our bodies decreases to about 57%. To keep our skin plump and youthful it is important that we keep ourselves hydrated and listen to the signs our bodies give us when it needs some extra hydration. I call the second layer of the skin – the dermis – "water world" and supplying it with a clean source of water is critical to the appearance of the skin.

2. Vitamins

The vitamins that are particularly good for the skin are vitamins A, C, E, K, and B complex. They all help improve the overall health of our skin, so stock up on green vegetables, eggs, almonds and carrots…. just to name a few wonderful foods.

3. Try juicing and making smoothies

We tend to forget that plant foods have a high water, vitamin and mineral composition. Try juicing your vegetables or making smoothies with greens and berries to increase the amount of plants, vitamins, minerals and water you consume in a day. Your skin will love you for it!

4. Fight Free Radicals

Vitamins C and E are amazing for the skin and help reduce the damage caused by free radicals, which are generated by many processes, including increased respiration, and exposure to smoke and pollution. Free radicals gobble up collagen and elastin, the fibres that support skin structure, leading to wrinkles and other signs of aging. Good food sources of vitamin C include citrus fruit and kiwifruit, while vitamin E is found in nuts, seeds, and eggs.

5. Hands off

Keep your hands off your face! Your hands touch so many surfaces, and therefore carry dirt and germs. When you rub your eyes, stroke your chin, cup your cheek, you have transferred everything on your hands to your face. As an extension of this, use headphones or a headset when talking on the phone. This, too, helps keep hands and germs away from your face.

It has a sapphire cooling tip for increased safety and comfort, which minimizes the adverse skin reaction commonly seen with other light sources.

Prowave is latest technology in hair removal treatment. Read out some of common FAQs for ProWave Laser system.

2. Coolglide Nd YAG Laser

Nd YAG is another suitable treatment used for permanent hair removal of large areas of skin. This is a long pulsed Nd YAG laser which permanently reduces hair on all skin types including black/dark skins.

3. Electrolysis

Suitable for facial areas like upper lip and chin. Electrolysis is a slow method of hair reduction, that can treat blonde, red, grey and fine dark hairs. It involves inserting a needle into each individual hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to them one at a time.

Recommended Sessions for Laser Hair Removal Over Many Parts of Body

A course of 6-8 treatments is generally recommended for the most areas of the body. Since some hairs enter this active growth phase at different times and to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area, additional treatments may be necessary. But you will notice a significant difference after just one treatment.

How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

Before undergoing laser hair removal, follow some necessary instructions below :

• No waxing or tweezing of the hairs is permitted between treatments, as a root must be present in the follicle in order for the laser to work.
• For body areas, you must arrive to the salon with the area to be treated shaved for the treatment, or else a charge of €50 will be incurred. It is more tedious for a therapist to clip/shave a client, as loose hairs present on a clients skin can risk their skin getting burnt, & can damage the laser hand piece.
• Facial hairs do not need to be clipped/shaved back, as this is a small zone & easy for the therapist to clip.
• Tanning the skin is not advised between treatments
• Avoid perfumed products before or after treatment
