Beauty tips, advice and info about facial treatments for acne to mature and ageing skin.

Beauty Tip
For females who's skin, breaks out with facials. Have the treatment when your skin is not reactive. Usually this is during the week after your monthly. This is also your time of highest pain tolerance, patience and best dieting time. This is your best week out of the month. Your waxing needs to be done once a month so plan it for this week, especially if you do those brazilians. Some females can reduce monthly pimple breakouts by having a deep cleanse facial, lymph drainage and high frequency treatment just before the pimple breakout is due. Let us help you to get to know your skin and apply the treatments that support your skins needs so you look your best. Our facials may be more involved and longer than other salons.

Beauty Tip
If you are going to another salon ask what is done in the facial before you make your booking. A salon with a high rent will need to pass this expense on to you. Shopping complexes or street frontage or exclusive suburbs will all have high rents. The neighbouring suburb will be only minutes away but may be less expensive so you can have more beauty treatments for the same dollars. After all, beauty therapy staff, go to the same TAFE and the products come from companies that supply many salons.

Beauty Tip
Your top layer of skin, the epidermis, renews itself with in 28 days, depending on your age, so have a facial each month. If you can not get to a salon, use salon quality products at home and do the lymph drainage yourself. Especially helpful if you get sinusitis or bags under your eyes. (Learn on this site on a Utube link) A facial treatment to suit all skin types except those with extensive pimples. Skins that have areas with a few pimples can still have the massage but avoiding that area so the client can still enjoy the benefits of relaxing and pampering with a facial skin treatment.

Beauty Tip
If you have the type of skin that breaks out with your monthly cycle, then have your facial after your monthly when your skin is stable. Get to know your skin and watch the calender for when you get your monthly, and when your skin breaks out. When your skin has calmed down, do your facial then. Most girls benefit by having a buzz with the high frequency over the problem areas a few days before the due break-out to minimise it's severity or completely prevent it. At our salon this is free to our clients and if they need this treatment often, we teach them how to work the machine themselves.

Beauty Tip
The Australia climate/life style causes many skins to be dehydrated. Clients say "My skin is dry but whenever I put on moisturiser my skin breaks out." Treatment remedy. This skin may be oily but dehydrated. That is why adding oil will make it break out in pimples/blackheads. The solution is to add water not oil. The product needs to be able to help bind the water to the skin. Babor has products that are hydrating and will hold water to the skin. Oxygen facials and the home products give amazing results.
