Best Eyebrow Shape | Best Skin Care Range

Brows

• My eyebrows need shaping, what should I do?

  To ensure a perfect shape and enhance your individual features, waxing should only be done professionally.

• How often should I care for my eyebrows?

  After your initial comprehensive eyebrow design service, The Brow & Skin Studio recommends a monthly service. Regular eyebrow maintenance keeps your eyebrow’s shape and keeps them looking their best.

• What should I do if I have sensitive skin?

  The Brow & Skin Studio uses products that cater to sensitive skin and also minimise redness. However, should you experience any discomfort or redness, we recommend you use ice to calm the skin. Alternatively, you can use teething gel or an aloe vera cooling gel. Tiger Balm also helps relieve pain.

• Are there any contra-indications before waxing?

  You should not wax for at least two weeks after using Retinol A, Glycolic Acid or Roacutane treatment. You should advise your eyebrow specialist if you have been using any of these products.

Skin

• What should a basic skin care regime include?

  An oil-free cleanser, a daily skin corrector for exfoliating and refining, a hydrator and a broad-spectrum sunscreen – an essential.

• What specialty treatments should you include for healthy skin?

  Every skin is different and requires a personalised assessment. We achieve great results with cosmeceutical treatments that include pure vitamin c serums, retinols, antioxidants and a variety of peels that target specific skin conditions, as well as - of course - the Omnilux™ light therapy machine.

• What is Omnilux™ and why am I hearing so much about it?

  Omnilux™, the leading light therapy, was developed in the UK after 12 years of extensive medical research.

  The Omnilux™ is a new technology based on using a narrowband of light delivered through Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The light technology works because cells within the body contain receptors that absorb light naturally. When the body is exposed to light, these receptors absorb the light waves and kick-start a cellular response. Different wavelengths of light will stimulate different cellular responses within the cell.

  The Omnilux revive™ and plus™ acts to energise, rejuvenate and repair damaged skin and uneven skin tone, and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Omnilux revive™ delivers a precise wavelength of visible red light that penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate fibroblast activity to naturally boost the production of collagen (the protein responsible for plump, healthy skin). It gives skin the "glow factor".

• What are the main skin concerns in between seasons?

  The skin can become more dry and irritated during the winter months, whereas during summer it may feel more oily and congested. If you notice changes in your skin it is advisable to see your skin care professional.

• What are the latest beauty ingredients and what do they do?

  Phloretin, coffeeberry, peptides and Idebenone, all of which are superceutical antioxidants that protect cells against free radical damage – the major cause of premature skin aging and DNA damage. While there is an abundance of skin care out there, they are not all created equally as some can do more harm than good. That is why it is vital to establish a good relationship with a skin care professional you can trust, somebody who considers your best interest. Every skin is unique and requires its own diagnosis and treatment.
