It’s no secret that as we age, our skin gradually begins to slow its collagen production, which is what ultimately makes your skin appear smooth, plump, and supple. But with age, also comes a number of other skincare problems that may arise such as pigmentation, dark spots, eczema and many more ailments.
Investing in a proper skincare regime and quality skincare products lays down the foundation for slowing down skin problems and preventing long term and permanent damage.
Unless you are expecting real change – it’s time to take skincare seriously! If you don’t start taking care of you skin from an early age, your skin will stay the same and probably get worse, depending on your particular issues and concerns.
Beauty and Aesthetics Technicians can’t help you if you yourself don’t do your part. Your skin won’t change with an occasional use of skincare products. You will not see the results you are after if you don’t understand the effects of skincare treatments.
It takes a team. You. Your aesthetician. And professional skincare products.
We caught up with Mariette and Carla, owners of SkinPhD Queenswood Quarter, who are experts in the field; who share 5 reasons why investing in proper skincare and aesthetics treatments are beneficial for the long-term.
1. PREVENT LONG-TERM DAMAGE
This is one of the number one reasons to invest in your skin health! One’s skin never stops ageing and, just like the rest of your body, the older you get the faster it ages. If you educate yourself and are intentional with wanting change, it is possible to slow this process down. Fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, sagging, dryness, dullness, and texture issues can all be of concern with ageing skin. Our skin can also be more vulnerable to damage and disease as it starts to lose its youthfulness and ability to heal itself. With the right care and treatments, one can easily halter the ageing process and give ones skin the care it needs, like thei SkinPhD Vitatherapy Seum which accelerates cellular turnover and increases the skins’ metabolism for a youthful and even-toned appearance.
2. SAVES YOU MONEY OVER THE LONG HAUL
Spending a lot of money on beauty products can seem daunting at first, but it actually saves you money in the long run. A great moisturiser can improve your skin’s texture and complexion, allowing it to look better with less makeup – and that means spending less on concealers and foundations to hide flaws. Investing in good quality products means that better skin also equates to less maintenance required in the long run. SkinPhD offers an array of products suited to every skin concerns and need, like their Ultra Hydrating Eye Gel which combats lines, wrinkles and puffiness, as well as reducing dark circles around the eyes.
3. QUALITY INGREDIENTS
Investment-worthy skincare is important! At SkinPhD they believe that your skin is an investment and they take you on the most effective skin journey, personalised to your specific skin needs. No skin is the same as the next and every skin needs to be approached in a unique way. This is where SkinPhD’s skin know-how, formulation expertise and the use of the most sought-after cosmeceutical ingredients at the right strength, makes all the difference. SkinPhD, even though tailored in approach, is also all inclusive. The range has been developed to counteract our unique South African environmental effects on the skin, with the inclusion of all genders, ages, and ethnicities. Take for example, their anti-oxidant ingredients that protect against free radical damage – amazing!
4. QUALITY TREATMENTS
You can’t expect a once monthly facial to change your skin if you keep doing the same things with the same products at home. What you are, or aren’t using at-home has a big impact on your treatment success. The key is consistent professional product use at home combined with consistent treatments at your salon or clinic. SkinPhD Queenswood offers aesthetic face and body treatments that target all key areas of your body. These treatments should be regularly booked in accordance to your technicians guidance.
5. SELF-IMAGE
Last, but definitely not least, investing in your skin health and the overall quality of your skin as you age can help you feel good about being in your own skin. As they say, “love the skin you’re in”, but, let’s face it, as human beings we tend to be harder on ourselves than anyone else because being your own critic is a lot easier. Many of us struggle with our self-image and how we feel about ourselves on a daily basis, and a lot of that stems down to skincare. Your skin health and appearance can have a dramatic effect on how you feel about what you see when you look in the mirror, which is why the team at SkinPhD make it their mission to instil confidence back into the lives of their clients who seem to have lost a bit of their “glow”.
When you invest time and effort into your skin, you are investing time and effort into yourself. When your skin looks and feels better, you look and feel better too.
