post-summer skin savers
During periods of hot weather, the skin can lose a lot
ofmoisture.The dry skin cells often build up, leading to leathery and dull looking skin. It’s time to slough away those dead cells and choose a thirst-quenching moisturiser to bring back some life and a healthy glow.
Other skin conditions to keep a look out for in clients are skin irritations such as eczema or heat rashes as these can often flare up in the heat and require treatment to cool them down.

It’s vital that you are able to recognise the damage that has been caused in order to choose the correct treatment for the complaint. Choosing the wrong treatment could justmake no difference at all. “During the Summermonths our skin can surrender to the harmful daily aggressions of UV damage resulting in producing adverse effects to the skin andminimising the effectiveness of your treatments,” say WellnessTrading.
“Providing the correct levels of hydration, nourishment and protection is an essential requisite to achieve the correct regeneration of the epidermis following treatment.”
slough away
Whether the skin has been subjected to the sun or the heat has just drank up all that moisture, exfoliation is often the best thing for getting rid of the top layer of dried out cells.Microdermabrasion is often the first treatment to recommend to create a smooth and clear base.

“Itmay seemstrange to recommend exfoliation to clients with signs of sun- damaged skin, but it’s actually the first thing you should do,” adviseHof. “Tomaximise the effects ofmoisturising the skin it’s vital to remove the dead layer so products absorb deeper into the skin and the skin’s colour is rebalanced.”
Angela Barbagelata-Fabes, chairman of The CarltonGroup, adds:
D24 All Day Moisture Créme fromBeautyLab offers 24-hour hydration.
“Microdermabrasion is used to treat skin problems such as scar tissue, pigmentation abnormalities and acne but itsmain use by beauty therapists is
regeneration.After four weeks of treatment, with one treatment per week, the StratumCorneumis normalised, there are an increased number of living cells and the basalmembrane is restructured.
“Microdermabrasion is appropriate formany conditions, including aged skin. Sensitive skin can be treated usingmicrodermabrasion but only using a low or normal vacuum pressure.”
There are two types ofmicrodermabrasion, both of which are
effective.These are
diamondmicrodermabrasion and crystal
microdermabrasion.Many microdermabrasionmachines use crystals; AluminiumOxide Crystals are one example. Diamonds aremade fromcarbon and are the hardest substance known
toman.Angela explains the difference: “Whilst Crystal Microdermabrasionmachines use a combination of crystals and vacuumto abrade the skin, with Diamond Microdermabrasion it is the tip of the hand- piece that abrades the skin directly using diamond
discs.As vacuumis not necessarily required the unit tends to be quieter andmay require lessmaintenance.”
The DermaVisage fromThe Carlton Group includes both Diamond and CrystalMicrodermabrasion as well as ColourTherapy all in one compact machine. Designed to offer the best of both worlds, DermaVisage allows therapists to choose their preferred ‘type’ ofmicrodermabrasion.
The DiamondMicrodermabrasion option offers two, treatment specific, variable speeds and a choice of two diamond tipped heads, which are supplied with themachine, to allow the treatment to be tailored to any skin type, fromsensitive to oily.
The CrystalMicrodermabrasion uses a controlled flow of ultra cleanAluminium Oxide crystals, which are set inmotion using vacuum. DermaVisage works using a ‘closed system’.Thismeans that the crystals only flow when the hand piece is placed on the
skin.This ensures absolute safety when using themachine, especially when treating areas close to the eyes.
Used in combination or separately, the ColourTherapy treatment stimulates the skin’s cells to facilitate
change.The inclusion of four colours (red, green, blue and yellow) using LED lights set at varying wavelengths offers a wide range of benefits. Four pulsed modes are also included which allow penetration of the wavelengths into the skin at different levels providing stimulation for the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue and deep into the circulatory system.
Alternatively, the Sapphire Microdermabrasion systemfromHof Beauty offers a controllable exfoliation for your clients providing a flexible approach to meet every clients’needs, even those that have overdone
tanning.To add to the success of yourmicrodermabrasion treatments, Hof offer three additional attachments that simply plug into themachine to provide and technologically advance cosmetic treatment, each one
different.All three attachments complement amicrodermabrasion treatment and allow you to increase the beauty services you can offer to your clients at minimal cost and effort.
