Keep Skin Fresh With Microdermabrasion & Chemical Peels - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Before we can look after our skin, firstly we should do some research to find out what type of skin we actually have. We can have oily, normal, dry or sensitive skin, or maybe a combination of skin types. We all try to take care of our skin, spending time and money on its maintainance, but sometimes our skin care routine is actually the cause of some of our skin problems!

If your daily routine involves using lots of different creams and lotions, it might be time to simplify things. A lengthy complicated skin care regime can cause problems to the skin, causing damage to the skin barrier, which is one reason the skin might dry out or get spots and rashes. 

Microdermabrasion treatment

We should use creams that are appropriate for the age of our skin. What worked for us when we were twenty, just won't be right for our skin in its thirties, forties and older, so we should reassess the products we put on our face. The skin changes as we get older, and where it was probably spotty in our teens and maybe a bit oily at twenty, by thirty we are showing fine lines and wrinkles on the face and in our forties and older our skin can show age spots, become drier and less firm.

A thick heavy cream doesn't mean it's more hydrating for the skin. It can sit on the face and clog up the pores, trapping dead cells, causing spots and leaving the skin looking dull. Weekly exfoliation will remove the dead cells and revitalise the skin and give it a healthy glow. A serum is a much lighter and hydrating option to use on the face with its concentrated ingredients.

Our lifestyle can also have a negative effect on our skin, so to keep our skin in a good condition we have to address certain lifestyle choices.

• Smoking will dehydrate the skin and give you wrinkles as well as being bad for our health.
• Excess alcohol causes blood vessels in the face to dilate, resulting in red, spidery veins. Excess alcohol consumption can also exacerbate pre-existing skin conditions such as rosacea.
• Stress can have a negative effect on the health of our skin, so we should work on reducing our stress levels. Exercise and meditation are great stress relievers and can help to improve our overall health and quality of life. 

Although we should always avoid excessive periods of strong sun exposure, any exposure to the sun has an ageing effect on the skin so we should always wear a high factor sunscreen, even when it's not sunny. Sun damage is the single greatest cause of ageing and can result in freckles, sun spots, pigmentation, wrinkles and at worst it can lead to skin cancer.

A professional treatment can help keep the facial skin in tip-top condition. Regular facials to remove dead, dull skin can really lift the complexion. Microdermabrasion and chemical peels can hydrate and brighten the skin, reduce lines and wrinkles and erase sun spots.

Care & Treatment of Ageing Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Ageing is inevitable, and the effects of ageing is most noticeable in the skin; with wrinkles, volume loss, dull and dry skin all becoming more common as we get older, but it's good to know that there are things that we can do about it. 

Our skin changes over time for lots of different reasons. Genetics can play a part and hormones will also be a reason, but external influences like sun exposure can damage elastin and cause pigmentation, smoking will damage cells which will lead to premature wrinkles and repeated facial movements will all contribute to cause lines and wrinkles, but other factors can also play their part.

Chemical Peel

Over time dryness sets in because the skin produces less moisturising oils, and due to ageing we also lose a lot of volume around the cheeks, temples, chin and around the eye area and this often results in loose, sagging skin and a sunken facial appearance.

No matter how well we look after our skin, or how much we try to alter the way we care for our skin, sometimes it’s just not enough and we have to think about a bit of cosmetic intervention.

There are three stages to keep your skin looking young and healthy:

Correction - especially of age-related spots, acne scars, fine lines and pigmentation - microdermabrasion and chemical peel treatments can help with these symptoms.

Maintenance - keeping the skin hydrated, stimulating collagen and maintaining the skin's elasticity - hyaluronic acid dermal fillers keep the skin looking firmer, hydrated and will replace lost volume. Botox can ease the lines and wrinkles appearing on the face.

Prevention - protect the skin with UV sun screen to prevent ageing skin, sun spots and future skin problems - Image skin care range has a number of skin creams and serums to help protect your skin and keep it in a great condition.

We should aim for uncomplicated skin care routines, and having a solid skin care routine doesn’t have to take up hours of your time. In fact good skin care should just involve: a good facial cleanser, exfoliating, using an effective moisturiser, a serum for your particular skin type and a basic sun screen protection. A simple routine taking 10 minutes is usually enough. 

Ageing causes the skin to change because of:

• Loss of collagen
• The loss of the elastin in the skin causes the skin to become slack
• Hyaluronic acid production slows down
• Thinning of the epidermis causes the skin to become more transparent
• The skin becomes rougher
• Volume loss causes the superficial and deep mid-facial fat pads to slip down the face

Our skin has to last us for a lifetime, so we should do our  very best to take care of it.
