Regular Facials Create, and Maintain, a Healthy and Vital Skin.

Regular Facials Create, and Maintain,

     a Healthy and Vital Skin.

The skin is the largest organ of the body.  It is alive and has many functions.  One of the ones that we care about is the aesthetic look of it. 

As our skin ages, we often feel disappointment with the way it looks.  And yet there is no real need to do so.  At all ages, we can be very powerful in creating changes in the physiology of the skin.  Even after 80, there are still many changes that can be achieved at cellular level.  I know this out of my own personal experiences during the 60+ years I have been working with skin.

Good skin care does not prevent ageing, but it does slow down the rate we develop the signs associated with age and creates good, healthy, functioning in all areas of the skin.  The levels of moisture and lipids improve; the rate of renewal increases and the surface is kept in good condition. This creates such a vital and healthy look that you no longer feel unhappy with your appearance.  Instead, you can see the improvements for yourself and this is reinforced by the comments that your friends and family make.  Everyone notices!

When you have a facial you can expect to see an immediate improvement in your skin, but that diminishes and your skin is soon back to normal.  This is because one facial cannot change the physiology of the skin. The way your skin is functioning, at the time you first have a facial, is the result of your life’s experience to date.  This is called extrinsic ageing.  It is also due to general wear and tear reflected in your chronological age.  This is called intrinsic ageing.  In order to change it, you have to change the way you are treating your skin and keep up those changes.  

This is where working with a good therapist is so invaluable.  I will show you how to take good care of your skin; I will teach you what you need to be doing and using - and tell you why.  I will enter into a journey with you, setting both long term and short-term goals, and will work alongside you to help you achieve them. 

What happens during a facial?

The major part of my work will be to bring all the systems of your skin up to good functioning.  I will stimulate your arterial circulation so that it will supply your skin with the nutrients and oxygen that it needs to be healthy.  I will stimulate lymph flow in order to remove all viruses, bacteria and pathogens as well as any localised oedemas – e.g. puffy eyes - and being trained in Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD - Vodder)

I can even improve the functioning of this system.  Further, I will improve the condition of the loose connective tissue so that the exchanges, across the space between the capillaries and the cells, are performed efficiently and I will keep the surface of your skin in a healthy state with efficient exfoliation techniques, ever mindful of the need to preserve the integrity of the epidermis. 

I also have optional tools for delivery (Microneedling, Electroporation, Galvanic. RF etc) of actives across the surface barrier so that they may provide nutritive support to live skin cells and employ the use of LED light to stimulate activity within the skin as necessary. I constantly research the latest actives and this year (2025) put together a new treatment that is producing very exciting results.

Within 10 days of beginning this journey you will see a difference.  Then by the fourth month (i.e. after four facials in the rhythm of one a month) you will see the colour of your skin change for a healthier tone.  This is so striking that if you wear make-up you will often need to change the colour of your foundation.  However, many clients find that after about 6 months to a year of regular skin care, they no longer feel the need for foundation.

The very best results

When the partnership between the client and the therapist is working at its best:

•  The therapist uses all her knowledge, her passion and her ability to repair the skin, bring it to good working order and then keep it functioning that way.

• The client takes her part of the process responsibly, will diligently do her routine at home and take seriously her role in avoiding further damage by reducing exposure to UVR and cutting back on the level of sugar in her diet.  (See a future Blog explaining AGE’s).  And she will provide her body with good supplies of water and Essential Fatty Acids in order to facilitate optimum levels of cellular functioning.

If you are beginning to wonder what you can do to help bring your skin back to full functioning again, then start your “journey” with your therapist and have regular facials.  You will never regret it.
