We are over the moon to have Skin Therapist Bryony back from maternity leave. We sat down with her to chat about changes in the skin during pregnancy and postpartum as well as skin myths and her favourite treatments to support your skin during the upcoming colder months.
Why We Still Don’t Recommend Microdermabrasion
Exfoliating the skin may temporarily unblock follicles or brighten the skin by removing a superficial layer, but it will not change the health of the skin cell and the way it behaves, or offer further protection or control of the internal or external environment that is causing the problem in the first place.
The Ins & Outs Of IPL
Autumn is always the time to start your course of IPL, as it’s the safest time to implement treatment. With potentially less time outside because of the cooler months, the skin is less likely to experience excessive UV, which can affect the results of the IPL treatment.
