Prevention is better than cure

We love our treatments here at SkinBase, but if we could give just one tip to clients for their skin it would be to use an SPF daily. Seriously, this one good deed can help prevent so much damage to skin that clients will be thanking you for their enviably youthful looking skin in years to come. Everyone should be doing it, every day, all year round!

We love our treatments here at SkinBase, but if we could give just one tip to clients for their skin it would be to use an SPF daily. Seriously, this one good deed can help prevent so much damage to skin that clients will be thanking you for their enviably youthful looking skin in years to come.

Why is SPF so important?

The sun’s UV rays are so damaging to our skin. The majority of skin damage is thought to be cause by sun damage. We’re sure you’ve probably seen that picture that does the rounds of the truck driver and the damage to his skin on the side of his face next to the window. This is a clear and visible demonstration of the power the sun has to damage our skin. It causes wrinkles, pigmentation and damages the collagen and elastin that keeps skin plump and firm.

What kind of damage is the sun doing to our skin?

Pigmentation

The Sun can trigger the overproduction of melanin as the body tries to protect itself from damage from UV caused by the sun. This can results in age spots, patches of melasma and brown spots.

This type of energy penetrates deeper into the skin causing damage to the lower levels of our skin which can lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles.

Breakdown of collagen and elastin

Collagen and Elastin help to keep our skin plump and firm, without it skin begins to sag, wrinkle and lost its elasticity all of which has an ageing effect on our skin.

Stock up on your homecare cream

SkinBase homecare cream with spf 30 is a great product for clients to use after their treatment to ensure they are protecting their skin. We recommend you offer one free with a course of facials. Contact the office to order.

Vitamin D

Sunlight is an important source of vitamin D and so a little bit of sun is still healthy for us. But remember to always tan safely, never let skin burn and try to avoid the hottest parts of the day when the sun is most harmful.

Acne & Acne Scarring, Hydro

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
