Fractional Resurfacing Laser Facial Diary

Have you ever heard of a Fractional Resurfacing Laser Facial? Or maybe just a Laser Resurfacing Facial?

Yep, they’re the same thing!

Perhaps you’ve never heard of this treatment and are intrigued as to what it is.

Maybe you’ve heard of it but want to know what it’s like.

It might be that you have an upcoming treatment and want to know what to expect.

You’re in the right place! I’m Amy, Owner of Pure Emporium, and I received a Fractional Resurfacing Laser Facial Treatment during our Laser Training back in June and wanted to share my experience with you!

You’ll also read my results and why I’m loving my treatment journey…

WHAT IS A SKIN ANALYSIS CONSULTATION?

Introducing our brand new Skin Analysis Machine. The Observ 520X.

Are you ready to find out about your skin in greater detail? At Pure Emporium, we have introduced a skin analysis machine which will allow our skin experts to see your skin and any concerns that you may want to treat at both, epidermal and dermal layer. This clever machine was scientifically developed on the principle of skin fluorescence. Allowing us to examine your skin’s health at a deeper level.

IS ENVIRON GOOD FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?

Sensitive skin or Reactive skin is something that we come across frequently.

When our skin is working at it’s best, it has the protective layer that locks in moisture and prevents anything penetrating through it and causing issues. When this layer gets damaged, which can be caused by a number of factors, your skin becomes sensitive or reactive to things in the environment or what you use on it topically.

The best way to think of this is ‘irritated.’ If your skin is irritated it will feel like one, some or all of the below:

Itchy and tight
Red
Blotchy

Sensitive skin is more delicate, and more susceptible to reactions caused by external factors - weather, pollution, chemicals, makeup, household cleaning products and general cosmetics.

Let’s look at the best way of treating it…

WHAT ARE PEPTIDES IN SKINCARE?

Peptides! We love them!

They definitely aren't a new thing to the industry of skincare, and they certainly aren’t going anywhere!

Peptides are needed and very necessary when it comes to anti-aging skincare.

If you’re looking for younger looking skin, peptides within the formulation are a must.

In a nutshell, peptides are Cell Communicators - telling the skin to do something specific. When applied topically to the skin, they act as little messengers, triggering skin cells to perform specific functions such as building collagen and elastin, along with encouraging skin to look and act younger.

Let’s look at peptides in more detail…

THE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RETINOL

Retinol is a true buzz word when it comes to skincare, but there's a lot of confusion that surrounds it. Let's dig deep into what it actually is.

Fact - Retinol IS VITAMIN A. Yep. It's the same thing.

Vitamin A comes in many different forms. And Retinol is simply one of them.

The many forms derived from Vitamin A ultimately, all of these forms do the exact same thing. Inside the skin, they change to Retinoic Acid.

All of these forms of Vitamin A transform in the skin to Retinoic Acid at different speeds, and it's this that the skin recognises and thrives from to become healthy and helps to repair skin cells as well as a whole host of benefits- It will strengthen the skin, boost immunity, balance oil production and has HUGE anti-ageing benefits.

It’s the way the skin will cope with them that differentiates between them. Let’s dig deeper…

BEAUTY TIPS - DITCH THE WIPES

Let’s understand the importance of cleansing… with a cleanser!
Deep down we know that cleansing our face with a cleanser is the best thing for healthier skin… I’m sorry to burst any bubbles, but face wipes are not a suitable alternative.
If you use them, you may think they’re convenient, quick and easy, but trust us when we say the negatives vastly outweigh the positives. (And, I cleanse my skin faster with a cleanser and clean flannel than I would removing my makeup with any type of wipe!)
Here is a professional beauty tip for healthier skin - ditch the face wipes!
If you’re still using wipes on your face, and want to know the reasons why we would highly recommend that you stop, here’s why…
