SKINCARE TREATMENT – WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?

”Chemical peels are able to help treat concerns such as pigmentation, acne, and aging skin, by increasing cell turnover and bringing newer skin cells to the surface. Applying chemical peels to your face allows professionals to provide your skin with the necessary actives that your skin requires to leave it feeling and looking youthful and smooth.”

WILL ALUMIER MD CHEMICAL PEELS CAUSE UNSIGHTLY REDNESS AND PEELING?

Post-treatment peeling is often similar to peeling after a tan. In some cases, exfoliation occurs on a cellular level and is not apparent to the naked eye. The exfoliation you will experience varies depending on skin profile. AlumierMD chemical peels are light- to medium depth, and are formulated to reduce irritation and redness.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT STRAIGHT AFTER A CHEMICAL PEEL?

The skin is initially tender and more sun-sensitive as the epidermis renews itself. After the peeling takes its course (usually 3-5 days after treatment), fresh new skin emerges and ingredients in homecare products start to work more effectively.

WHERE CAN I HAVE A CHEMICAL PEEL?

Chemical peels are usually performed on the face, but may also be used on the neck, décolleté and hands.

HOW CAN THEY BENEFIT ME?

Peel treatments improve skin texture and firmness, decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. Peels also even out skin tone, improve acne-prone skin and reduce pore size appearance.’

Perfecting your Eyebrows- How do I know which Brow treatment is right for me?

July 19, 2018 | Lashes / Brows / Waxing | Comments (0)

Natural looking brows

The beauty industry has had a huge focus on Eyebrows over the last 5-10 years, and it’s no surprise why!

If the eyes are the window to the then eyebrows are the frame–that’s why they should be well looked after and groomed! Enhancing your brows, even just a tiny bit, can pull together an entire makeup look and change your face completely.

But with lots of different brow treatments now on the market, it can be overwhelming to figure out which one is right for you. Should you have a regular shape and tint, or HD Brows? And what is this new Henna Brow treatment everyone is talking about?

It’s important to remember that different brow treatments will give you a different look—and whilst one particular brow treatment can work wonders for another person’s eyebrows, it might not necessarily do the same for yours.

So here is a little explanation of each treatment on the market and who they would be most suitable for! If you’re still confused after reading this, don’t worry… our therapists will be able to give you all the help and advice that you need.

The classic stand-alone eyebrow tint:

Lasts- 4-6 week
Treatment time- 15 minutes
Cost- £10
Minimum age- 16
Patch test required- yes

A coloured dye is placed over the natural hair to enhance the colour. Tint colours range from blonde to dark brown/black for all hair types.

This treatment is best suited for anyone who doesn’t feel their brows need shaping but is great for adding more depth to the brows. It is a great option for covering grey hairs or altering the colour of the natural brows.

A simple Eyebrow shape:

Lasts- 4-6 weeks (depending on clients hair growth)
Treatment time- 15 minutes
Cost- £8- £12
Minimum age- 13
Patch test required- no

An eyebrow shape can be performed using various techniques or a couple of techniques combined. This usually depends on your therapists’ preferred technique. They may choose to wax, thread, or tweeze your eyebrows with the main aim being to tidy around the edges of your natural brow shape, creating a neater more flattering appearance.

This treatment is perfect for anyone already happy with the colour of their brows but would like their brows tidying up into a nice shape.

The combined Eyebrow shape & tint:

Lasts- 4-6 week
Treatment time- 20 minutes
Cost- £15
Minimum age- 16
Patch test required- yes

Both a shape and tint is perfect for anyone that is already happy with the general shape of their brows but just needs a tidy and a tint for more depth to their brows.

This is also perfect for anyone who has had semi-permanent eyebrows and wants to keep the shape nice and tidy as well as the tint refreshing them a bit.

HD brows:

Lasts- 4-6 week
Treatment time- 45-60 minutes
Cost- £25
Minimum age- 16
Patch test required- yes

This is a more complex version of a shape and tint – a 7 step process in which the eyebrows are mapped out in a style that would sit best for the clients face taking into consideration the clients preferences on colour, the thickness of their brows and how they like their arch etc. A tint is a custom blended to suit the client, hairs are then trimmed, waxed, threaded and tweezed to get the brows in a precise, crisp shape. Depending on whether or not the client would like, the brow can then finished off by filling any sparse areas in with makeup.

This treatment is perfect for clients who are looking to grow their own eyebrows by having them perfectly shaped by a professional. We would recommend a course of 4-5 treatments 4-6 weeks apart with no home tweezing in between for optimum results. It’s also a great option for people wanting to have perfectly defined eyebrows without looking too heavy. It’s a great way to pick up tips from your therapist on how to pencil or powder your own eyebrows to maintain your look in between appointments.

Henna Brows:

Tint lasts 2-4 weeks on skin / 4-6 weeks on hair.
Treatment time- 45-60 minutes
Cost- £35
Minimum age- 16
Patch test required- yes

Being a similar treatment to HD this treatment will create that perfect shape however the henna can leave the desired stain on the skin as well as the hair which is perfect for anyone wanting to make their brows appear a bit thicker and fuller. Henna is an all-natural product and is a great conditioning treatment for the skin and hair around the brow area, it can restore brow growth by up to 60%, and is suitable for anyone with psoriasis.

Henna brows are perfect for anyone that loves their eyebrows darker, fuller and perfectly defined. It is also great for anyone who may have had a reaction to a regular tint patch test as they may find they don’t react to the henna patch test and therefore can have their brows tinted with the henna brow treatment.

Microblading/Semi-permanent Makeup

Lasts- 9-18 months (depending on each individual)
Treatment time- 2 hours
Cost- £350-£400
Minimum age- 18
Patch test required- yes

Microblading or semi-permanent makeup is a treatment whereby pigment is implanted into the upper dermal layer of the skin to mimic hair strokes or a natural powdered look, using a hand-held tool with a number of very fine needles, or the digital machine for different effects.

This long-lasting treatment is perfect for those who want to fully reshape, define or fill in gaps from over plucking, but don’t have the time, patience or ability to pencil or powder their brows daily. When filling in gaps or adding to an existing shape, the results can be extremely natural and undetectable. When completely reconstructing an eyebrow, shading techniques may need to be combined with microblading to achieve the desired look. Regular eyebrow maintenance procedures are recommended, a simple shape and tint is a perfect option for this.

4 life hacks for a better you in 2017

January 12, 2017 | Beauty tips | Comments (0)

Christmas time can be very exciting yet frantic, packed with family reunions and Christmas parties, but it can also take its toll on our health and wellbeing. Nursing a hangover isn’t the ideal way to start the New Year, whilst sticking to New Year resolutions can also be a struggle.

The key to starting afresh in the New Year is getting back into routine and reenergising ourselves. We need to snap out of the ‘Oh well, it’s Christmas’ attitude and pick ourselves up. At Rebecca Jaynes, we have a few tips for you to banish any post-Christmas blues and be prepared for the New Year. As they say New Year, new me; by just coming up with a few lifestyle changes and putting a stop to any bad habits, you can be a much more happy and confident person in the New Year.

Be active:

Many people say that their New Year resolution is to become healthier and more active, but often those plans are quickly forgotten about, especially when we notice all the left-over chocolates lying around the house. Overindulging during the festive period can cause you to feel sluggish and it can be difficult to get out of. Go for that first run and get that gym session out the way and you’ll feel much better. Are you exercising often without seeing much improvement?

For some people, despite going to the gym regularly, trying to get rid of stubborn fat can be a lifetime struggle. If it is really getting you down, give yourself the boost you need with our new LipoContrast machine and get body confident in 2017. Our body sculpting LipoContrast will leave you with amazing results for areas such as your lower stomach and you can achieve abs to be proud of. It could be the motivation that you need to get healthy and become more active.

Bring bright colours into your life this New Year:

Mark the beginning of 2017 by throwing on a vibrant scarf or getting your nails glammed up. We associate Christmas with over-the-top, sparkly nails but our lovely nail technicians can come up with the set of nails to lift your spirit. Treat yourself to some me-time in the salon and go for bold and exciting colours or try new designs for your nails so that you feel extra good during January.

Semi-permanent brows:

Eyebrows can make or break your whole look. Why not throw away your never ending collection of brow pencils and try our microblading in Blackpool to achieve long lasting, natural brows? Our semi-permanent makeup service near Manchester has seen many amazing results for our clients and has given their look a real boost. Our very own talented Rebecca Abram knows the ins and outs of this procedure so rest assured, you will be leaving the beauty salon with the most perfect set of natural, undetectable brows.

Dry January:

After a month filled with heavy drinking, a lot of people take part in dry January. It’s such a great way to get out of your lazy habits and concentrate on the New Year. Being hangover-free for a whole month will make you feel so fresh and your skin will definitely look much smoother and healthier.
