The Importance of At-Home Skincare
At Violetta Beauty, we are passionate about our holistic approach to skin health. Our salon is home to leading skin therapies and treatments, allowing our team of dedicated and experienced dermal therapists to provide our clients with tailored skin packages that deliver incredible results! But in-clinic treatments are only one part of the picture and we cannot dismiss the importance of at-home skincare. Here are our tips and tricks for preparing skin to maximise the results from your professional treatments.
SKIN CLEANSING DOs aND DON’Ts
Knowing how to correctly cleanse your skin is one of the most important aspects of maintaining skin health. Cleansing your skin thoroughly each day ensures that environmental pollutants and residue of the day do not make their way deep into the epidermis, which prevents breakouts, the accelerated signs of ageing and also keeps skin optimal for your professional treatments. Follow our 3-step cleansing ritual and watch your skin glow!
- Step 1: Massage your cleanser using circular motions into the skin then physically remove the cleanser using a face washer (not your hands!). The washer provides a light exfoliating effect for a deeper cleanse.
- Step 2: Follow with a skin toner and remove any residue left from the cleanser.
- Step 3: Finish with a hydrating and repairing serum, moisturiser or night cream.
SKIN PREP FOR PROFESSIONAL TREATMENTS
We want you to achieve the best possible results from your in-salon skin treatment, which is why we encourage all clients to prepare skin prior to an intensive skin program for two weeks using The Ultimate Starter Kit by Medik8. This at-home skincare preparation contains Medik8’s powerhouse products including gentleCleanse to clean and purify skin, Hydr8 B5 hyaluronic serum to improve moisture levels, C Tetra Vitamin C serum to brighten skin and combat sun-induced damage, and Retinol 3TR a Vitamin A serum for skin ageing concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles and loss of firmness. Pair this with professional skin treatments at Violetta Beauty and watch your skin transform to optimal health.
DON’T FORGET TO DRINK WATER!
This simple yet easily overlooked step is crucial to ensuring your skin is able to receive all the benefits from treatments and at-home skincare products. Many of us drink numerous dehydrating beverages throughout the day so it is important to remember to ingest adequate water to keep both our skin and body thriving.
