Shrewsbury skincare blog - cleansing

 

Our Shrewsbury beauty therapists are often asked what the secret is to beautiful skin. They will reply that there is no secret! You can achieve radiant, healthy skin simply by cleansing.

That’s not to say everyone knows how to properly cleanse their skin – many don’t. That’s why the therapists at our Imagine Spa have compiled their own cleansing masterclass, so you can maintain beautiful skin between spa treatments!

Cleanse twice a day

Unfortunately, there’s no getting around putting in some effort for stunning skin. We recommend cleansing every morning and night, no matter what. Just because your skin looks clean doesn’t meant that it is; bacteria and impurities invisible to the naked eye build up throughout the day and during sleep that can clog up pores and harm our skin.

Special cleansers

Avoid regular soap bars that you might use to wash your hands, as they can be too harsh to use on the more delicate skin of our faces. Instead, use products specifically labelled as facial cleansers. They are formulated to be gentle and there will often be a variety to choose from, so you can match it to your individual skin type.

Easy on the eyes

Around your eye area exists the thinnest skin on your body and as such it is the most prone to damage. Do be extra gentle when cleansing your eye area!

Keep it warm

Rinse with warm water rather than very cold or very hot. Extremes in temperature are not good for your skin.

Use clean towels

When drying your skin always use a clean, fresh cloth. The family hand towel is likely to be covered in bacteria – not what you want to rub all over your lovely clean face. A fresh flannel is great for drying, and once used can be popped into the washing machine.

Exfoliate regularly

Gentle exfoliation buffs away dead cells on your face resulting in smoother, more radiant skin. Just like a special cleanser, find a scrub that is suitable for your skin type, but once a week is sufficient for exfoliation.

Treat yourself

Even if you have the perfect cleansing routine down, it’s worthwhile spoiling yourself with a professional facial treatment now and again! Our Shrewsbury spa has products you’ll struggle to find in the shops, which will really give your skin a boost, as well as help you to relax.

Because everyone’s skin is different, it faces many challenges as the seasons change. So again our skincare is tailored to you. The first step is a Prescriptive Discovery. This is designed to find out more about your skin, and includes a skin analysis and consultation plus nourishing product application and a rejuvenating massage. Imagine Spa also offers a Mini Cleanse and Boost and a facial just for men!
