Facial Care Tools We’ve Fallen In Love With This Year

Massage is Leader of the Facial Care Tools

Don’t get it twisted!  We 100% believe that N O T H I N G can replace the magical facial massage.  In fact, Barry fell in love with facial massage all over again after Delanie West-Farough gave him Lydia Sarfati’s Repêchage massage during the famed Four Layer Facial at the IECSC in Chicago this year.  Peep the short video of the massage below, can you see the “humming bird” fingers?

Add Value And Results With Facial Care Tools

Facial massage feels delicious!  It also helps to stimulate blood flow and it helps to improve lymphatic drainage.  Those two functions alone help to improve celluar functions because they improve oxygen levels in the skin and remove waste and reduce inflmamation in the skin. Massage is kind of epic for the skin and facial muscles. However, science is still a thing.  Many companies are investing millions into research and development to find new and innovative ways to help increase the efficacy of skin care treatments.  You don’t want to ingore these advances.  You should always look to the future and embrace change.

Treating Skin Conditions With Facial Care Tools

This month we’ve talked a lot about hyperpigmentation.  Massage isn’t a solution this stubborn skin issue.  Massage can help with facal skin laxity, to a point.  Massage isn’t going to do much for skin irregularities like skin tages, cherry angiomas and sebaceous hyperplasia, these irregularities need some scientific intervention.

Products In Treatment & At Home Are A Great Treatment Option

This month’s guest blogger, Trin Yokoyama, wrote about using products and chemical peels.  They are great facial care tools, espeically for treating hyperpigmentation.

Antioxidants In Home Care Work As A Best Treatment for Hyperpigmentation

Vitamin C has many beneficial effects for treating hyperpigmentation, photo damage and stabilizing collagen by increasing collagen protein synthesis for repair of damaged skin. It can aide in brightening the skin and overall help with inflammation and aging in the skin.  Read more of Trin’s article.

How Chemical Peels Work as a Best Hyperpigmentation Treatment

First, we must learn how to treat with chemical peels.  I’ve used the Jessner’s peel on some clients. I have also found much success with layering different acids.  Lactic acids, multi-fruit acids, glycolic and mandelic acids are great. If you work with a professional skin care line, ask them which of their peels will work best to treat hyperpigmentation.  Read more of Trin’s article. 

However, sometimes even the best and purest forms of antioxdants can’t get the job done.  Even the strongest chemical peels, being administered by the smartest esthetician on a regular basis aren’t enough to eliminate hyperpigmenation.  They aren’t enough to lift sagging facial skin and muscles. They aren’t enough to get maximum product penetration.  That’s where technology enters the treament room.
