TIPS FOR FANTASTIC FACIAL CARE

1. To reduce the redness of your spots, try using an anti-reddening eye drop, just one drop for 10 seconds will reduce the redness of your blemishes. A good way to dry them out is to dab a bit of toothpaste on them over night.
2. Men - although male awareness of skin health & fitness is increasing, many men still overlook the importance of cleansing and moisturising skin at night. If purchasing your own male facial care products seems daunting, try using hers. Many gentle cleansers are suitable for all skin types and will ensure skin is fresh and grime free before bed.
3. If you are a daily make up wearer once a fortnight dare to go bare! Our skin gradually clogs up with daily make up and dirt despite our best efforts at cleansing so once every 14 days let your skin breathe. If it is a sunny day choose large sunglasses if you are self conscious about not wearing eye make up and no one will know. If it's a dull day apply a moisturising lipsalve followed by a sweep of gloss and some Vaseline to eyelids to create a dewy make up free look. If you absolutely must wear some make up choose mascara only. It will define and widen eyes whilst allowing your skin to be product free.
4. Research has shown a strong relationship between nutritional intake and skin health. Eating fruits and vegetables rich in all the nutrients is necessary for good health. The industry talks about the number of skin care products containing vitamins as having more than tripled in the last 20 years. The Omega3 essential fatty acids in salmon help nourish skin and keep it looking plump and youthful, helping to reduce wrinkles.
5. On top of daily cleansing, toning and moisturising skin care routines you should have weekly and monthly routines. Exfoliate and use a mask once a week and if you can, have a monthly facial involving a deep cleanse which will noticeably improve your complexion and skin tone.
6. Steaming opens the skin's pores and increases circulation on the skin's surface. Select herbs like lavender, mint or calendula for dry skin or mint, lavender, rose and witch hazel, for oily skin or try calendula, chamomile, or comfrey for sensitive skin and add to boiled water in a large bowl and bring it to the place you are going to do the facial. Lean your face over the bowl about a foot away and cover your head and the bowl with a towel or tea towel to preserve the steam. Be extremely careful not to tip the bowl and burn yourself. If you feel a burning sensation then stop for few seconds and repeat it. Keep the steam going for about 10 to 15 minutes.
7. The CACI Ultimate is an effective non-surgical treatment method to redefine facial contours, plump out deep lines and wrinkles as well as tackle a range of skin imperfections. It combines microcurrent facial toning, crystal free microdermabrasion, and LED photo rejuvenation.
8. Using products with natural ingredients is always best because they have fewer chemicals that can potentially react with your skin. Cannelle ensure that they use products with 100% pure essential oils and natural plant extracts for their facial treatments.
9. Oily skin tip - Essential oils of ylang ylang and tea tree are good for oily skin. So look out for these ingredients when you're buying your skin care products.
10. Dry skin tip - Avocado contains a deep penetrating vegetable oil that is great for dry skin. It has a good source of potassium, which is known as the youth mineral, to make your skin look fresh! Try making an avocado mask using mashed avocado, 1 tbsp. of all natural honey and natural yogurt. Leave the mask on for 10 minutes before washing off with warm water.
11. Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a technology aimed at producing light of high intensity during a very short period of time and is both a method of hair removal and photo-rejuvenation of the skin, improving the appearance of rosacea, flushing, broken capillaries, sun damaged skin, age spots and skin texture. Treatment also improves mild acne scars, tightens pores and softens fine lines.
