Treating your skin to a facial can be one of the most relaxing experiences you can do for yourself - not to mention the visible results that come with it! However, it’s not every day that you get to indulge in a face-to-face treatment with your favourite facialist or aesthetician, which then leaves you to daydream of its calming atmosphere and the undeniable ‘just-stepped-out-of-the-skincare-clinic’ glow.
There are many ways to get creative with your existing skincare routine or accelerate your DIY self-care rituals to unwind and recharge at home in-between your in-clinic treatments. If you are searching for new ways to keep your skin looking as fresh as that post-facial glow, try some of our favourite skin hacks…
Mini Peel Treatment
Performing a mini-peel treatment at home is easier than you may think. Using only three products, this simple treatment is a great addition to your weekly skincare routine that will leave your skin smooth, fresh and radiant.
Step one: To begin the treatment, the skin needs to be thoroughly cleansed to remove any barrier such as make-up, SPF, oil, or impurities built up throughout the day. Using a gel-based cleanser such as Gentle Cleanser or Cleansing Gel that contains natural plant-based extracts is a great way to provide your skin with a deep cleanse and prepare it for the next steps.
Step two: Enter our Enzyme Exfoliant. This step is where your skin will receive the ultimate glow up. Apply the exfoliant and take 30 seconds to use small circular movements, paying close attention to any areas with extra congestion such as around the nasolabial folds and the chin. Leave the enzyme exfoliant on from 2-5 minutes for a mini peel experience.
Step three: Never underestimate the power of a double cleanse. Going in for a second cleanse with a creamy cleanser like our Opulence Brightening Cleanser will ensure your skin free of oils and impurities. As a bonus, your skin will be left luminous and radiant!
Eye Treatment
Had an incredibly long or busy week and in desperate need for a bit of self-care time even if it’s only for 10 minutes? Try these tips that will provide both relaxation and results.
TIP 1: If you’re looking for an instant pick-me-up for the under-eye area, our favourite tip is to put the Rejuvenate Eye Masks in the fridge to provide your eyes with a refreshing boost and to relieve any puffiness.
TIP 2: Run your Eye Masks under warm water and apply to the eye contour and voila, instant relaxation and enhanced hydration.
TIP 3: To boost your results further, follow on with the treatment by pairing it with the Rejuvenate Eye Gel to further reduce any puffiness, dark circles and brighten the overall eye contour.
Achieving plump, smooth and hydrated lips
There are many environmental factors which can lead to dry and chapped lips. A few factors being sun exposure, pollution or more prevalent factors like indoor heating and air conditioning which can escalate the feeling of dry, flaky lips. Before you layer on the lip balm to try and soothe the skin, try these few tips to help keep your lips feeling fresher, healthier and more hydrated for longer.
Rejuvenate Lip Mask
First up, to calm and soothe dry, irritated or chapped lips, apply the rejuvenating Lip Mask and leave on for a minimum of 10 minutes. This quick and easy treatment is perfect for instantly hydrating the lips and leaving them feeling restored, revived and renewed.
TIP!
Keep lips soft and smooth by applying the Enzyme Exfoliant as a gentle scrub to buff away dry skin. It’s important to keep in mind that the lips are more sensitive than other areas of the skin. We recommend applying a very small amount and gently massage in an outward direction to avoid the exfoliant from entering the mouth. Unlike a normal exfoliant application, there is no need to leave the product on the lips for long, just gently massage in and remove.
