Spring clean your skin

With spring weather quickly approaching, it’s time to face that dreaded annual activity: spring cleaning your skin, follow theses steps:

  • Tip 1: Get a facial-it a good way to thorough clean the pores, soften and remove dry dead skin cells and will restore a radiant glow.

  • 2: Exfoliate -we've all had heavy creams to moisture our faces all winter long, but it’s time to get the excess out of your pores.

  • 3.Going from winter to spring, ur skin is a lot drier due to the lack of moisture. Treat yourself to a light peel or microdermabrasion,

  • 4. Spring clean your product cupboard, by tossing all the expired products and replace them with what you need, ask you therapist for advices

  • 5: Its time to abandon the heavy moisturizer and maybe even your gel cleanser, and switch to something lighter for the spring.

  • 6.Protect -It might be tempting to bask in the glow of the sun but it's crucial to protect yourself from the sun’s damaging rays

  • 7.Your skin craves good nutrition just like the rest of your body, so a good cleansing routine is important


  • 9. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains for healthy skin.

  • 10. Exercise every day. Exercising helps your skin by increasing blood flow. And sweating flushes out dirt from your skin.

  • 11. Stay out of the sun. Get a fake tan if you want more color.



  • 14. Give your face a little more TLC - with home made masks -http://bodytiquetherapistthruths.blogspot.com/

  • 15. Don’t neglect your body during the transition as well - Enjoy a much needed mani and pedi at your salon.

  • 16. Don't forget to exfoliate the body to with a body scrub to make you feel like a whole new woman and get your skin glowing.

  • 17. Rehydrate your body skin by soaking in a warm bath of water to 2 tbsp of milk powder. Its the ultimate skin softener

    TO PEEL OR NOT TO PEEL THAT IS THE QUESTION?

    Skin peeling has been used for many years for various reasons. However, it has been, in certain cases, like playing 'Russian Roulette' as far as the end result is concerned. Peeling away wrinkles and pigmentation has been the aim. What has been forgotten in many cases is the long-term effects of just peeling away the epidermis. The RégimA 'Peel & Heal' has a unique action and cannot be compared to any other peel, whether natural or chemical. RégimA's 'Peel & Heal' is a Natural chemical peel. That is PLANT & FLOWER CHEMICALS, the potent natural actives extracted from nature. RégimA does not use any chemicals within the peels or home care products ensuring potency & safety! The skin is the largest organ in the human body. Yes it is an organ! However, it is one of the only organs that cannot be transplanted. Therefore it is essential that from a very young age it is cared for and protected from the harsh elements and the ravages of modern living. RégimA focuses not only on AESTHETICS but also on SKIN HEALTH. One must always consider more than the look of the skin, the immediate smoothness that a treatment can give and compare this to the therapeutic, skin health issue. We have all heard of MALIGNANT MELANOMAS and BASAL CELL CARCINOMAS. These are due to cell changes within the basal, living layer of skin. This is the layer that RégimA's 'Peel & Heal' gradually works down to. Then, by maintaining regular treatments and home care, one can help prevent abnormal cell changes and the formation of these skin cancers. Frighteningly these abnorma l cell changes can occur at any age, even in the very young (teenagers!!). It is critical therefore that one undergoes regular RégimA 'treatments', irrespective of age. We at RégimA have been manufacturing the 100% NATURAL 'PEEL & HEAL' for many years and have achieved amazing results. Our medically accepted formula is used successfully internationally, irrespective of climate and season. Because we specialize in scar treatments we are several steps ahead of the crowd. The unique RégimA formulation can and should be used all year round and, although powerful, carries no risks! One starts the process of removing the outer dead layer of skin. This is the layer that gives us wrinkles, pigmentation, sun spots, age spots, everything that retards rejuvenation. The 'Peel & Heal' successfully and very safely, works gradually through the outer dead layer and down to the basal living layer. It stimulates collagen production, re-elastisizing and rejuvenating even the most damaged, scarred, sun damaged or ageing skins. The RégimA formula helps to THICKEN the skin, making it much more youthful and healthy and less prone to cell changes. It contains an abundance of skin and scar healing ingredients blended with only pure, NATURAL, unadulterated, unbuffered acids. Although the 'Peel & Heal' is potent it is still very easily tolerated and one does not have to experience a major peeling to reap the full benefit. The secret is always in the formulation. With regular peels the skin becomes firmer, smoother, even in colour and texture. ACTION • Smooths wrinkles and improves sundamaged skin • Rejuvenates, regenerates • Removes solar keratoses 'sun spots', 'age spots', 'liver spots' • Repairs & Re-elastisizes thin, fragile, damaged skins • Helps eliminate and control pigmentation, restoring normal colour • Helps uneven skin tone, smooths uneven texture • Helps eliminate and control active acne and improves old acne scarring • Helps level and smooth coarse, lumpy, hypertrophic and keloid scars • Improves flexibility and mobility of hard scarred skin • In certain cases improves function of old scarred areas on the face & body • Helps normalize pigmented or blemished areas following - Laser or Liquid nitrogen treatment • Removes years of damage on even the most sensitive skins • Clearing and tightening of pores • Benefits ALL SKIN TYPES - sensitive, young, mature, white, black, asian, male, female PART 1 OF 2 – See next month for more information .
