Enjoy the sun, love your skin

I ran a brief survey through my facial customers recently, to ask if they do realise the importance of sunblock protection.

The results, almost half wear sunscreen to work everyday, a quarter of them said that they do not apply it at all while the remaining put them on if they can remember.

On this note, I would like to emphasise the importance of using sunscreen to our heirlooms.

It is helpful to know that sun exposure leads to wrinkles and uneven pigmentation by damaging the dermis of the skin. The first and most important defense against wrinkles is the daily use of sunscreen with an SPF 15 or higher. It will help to prevent new wrinkles from developing and existing ones from getting deeper.

Weather as an excuse? Sun protection is not just for the sunny days! To prevent aging caused by UV rays, sunscreen should be used every day of the year. Be it a cloudy day, a day that you're not sure if you're heading outdoors or even when you are working indoors, that 10-second regime will save you from the detestable effects in time to come.

Need more advice and information on sunblocks? Drop by and have a chat anytime.

Dear heirlooms, love yourself and love your skin too!

Loving myself after waxing

"Scrub and Moisturise" is essential when it comes to post-waxing aftercare. By this, we mean exfoliating and moisturizing regularly to prevent those oh-so-unsightly ingrown hairs. After all, what’s the point in spending all that time and money for the perfect waxing service, when you are not going to continue the care at home?

Our Heirlooms, are of course free to buy their aftercare products from wherever they like. But care needs to be taken into consideration in choosing the right lotions to be applied onto the appropriate areas. For example, products containing natural papaya extract and aloe vera to reduce the discomfort of ingrown hairs and soothe and calm the skin.

Here are our top 3 tips for maintaining bump-free skin in between waxes.

1. Moisturise the waxed area regularly, preferably with a cream containing antiseptic properties such as tea tree oil, aloe vera and witch-hazel, which will also help to alleviate any irritation. Ingrown hairs are often caused by dry skin which does not allow the hairs to grow through. If you are moisturising your intimate bits, be sure to use an appropriate cream or oil that won’t aggravate these most sensitive of areas.

2. Exfoliate the waxed area several times a week to get rid of dead skin cells. Again, if it’s an intimate area, make sure you choose a suitable scrub that is not highly-perfumed. The exfoliator needs to be grainy enough to have an effect, but not so harsh that will irritate your skin or make it sore. In fact, over-exfoliation or the use of an unsuitable scrub will graze the skin and may actually cause ingrown hairs, rather than prevent them. Loofahs can be used in the shower but these must be kept clean and dry, and should be replaced regularly.

3. No fake tans, massages, extreme heat treatments (e.g. very hot baths or showers, saunas, steam rooms), swimming, sunbathing (including sun beds or any other exposure to UV light) or tight clothing for 24-48 hours.
Try and avoid exercise for 24-hours as getting sweaty could clog the hair follicles. Do not scratch or touch the area with unwashed hands.
Avoid applying deodorant, anything perfumed or make-up to the waxed area for 24 hours.


On a lighter note, Monday is over! Let us look forward to mid-week!
