Waxing – Zen Edinburgh
Waxing is a perfect way to get rid of those unwanted hairs that are preventing silky smooth body areas.
At Zen Lifestyle Edinburgh we offer a wide variety of waxing, from honey wax to hot wax. Honey wax is used on larger areas such as the legs; the wax is applied to the area then removed with wax strips in one sleek action.
Hot wax is much kinder on the skin as it attaches only to the hair, there is an oil application prior to the hot wax being applied, which prevents the skin being pulled, achieving a more comfortable experience for the client. Hot wax sets on the skin becoming a thick flexible product which it then removed in one fast action leaving the skin hair free.
Hot wax is a very effective at removing those thick stubborn hairs found on bikini lines and underarms. We always use hot wax for Brazilian and Hollywood waxes.
We recommend a waxing treatment every four to six weeks however this time scale can vary depending on the individual’s hair growth.
At Zen Edinburgh we retail a product called Tend Skin. Tend Skin is a skin care solution which will help fight against those unwanted ingrown hairs, razor bumps and redness.
Waxing is a hair removal technique used worldwide however; at Zen Edinburgh we take extra care when achieving this hair free desire for our clients. The therapists at Zen understand that waxing is not a pleasurable experience therefore will try and make the treatment as comfortable and effective as possible.
Microdermabrasion Edinburgh – Try Diamond Tome
Diamond Tome is a revolutionary microdermabrasion treatment that gives outstanding results! It gives your skin the natural beauty and clarity of diamonds!
Diamond Tome is becoming one of the most popular facial treatments as it targets many different concerns for different clients. This is a treatment I recommend to many of my clients as the outcome at the end can be life changing for problematic skin types.
Diamond Tome uses special diamond chips to polish the top layer of the skin, remove dead skin cells and to deeply exfoliate. This reveals a smooth, radiant and more youthful complexion as well as promoting the growth of healthy new skin cells.
The treatment can meet absolutely anybody’s needs as it also targets:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scarring
• Sun damage
• Minor scars
• Milia
• Blackheads
• Oily skin
• Age spots and uneven pigmentation
• Dull tired complexions
Diamond Tome is non- abrasive and the procedure feels very comfortable. There are no side effects a part from looking a little flushed after the treatment. This does calm down very quickly after the procedure!
For most clients, I would recommend an intense course of 6 treatments, 2 weeks apart. After this, a monthly Diamond Tome is ideal to maintain the results. This can vary slightly between clients depending on the condition being treated and the skin type.
Diamond Tome is one of the best and most effective facials around just now! I would strongly recommend everyone to try it out. After just one treatment your skin will glow and feel so much softer and smoother, then the results just keep getting better!
What ages our skin?
The low down
There are many factors that contribute to our skin ageing:
- The sun
- Pollution
- Toxins
- Smoking
- Poor diet
- Dehydration
- Aggressive cleansing products
Without a doubt the most harmfull external factor to our skin ageing is the sun. Many people dont realise that UVA (the suns ray that ages our skin) is the same all year round, yes that right we have the same UVA expose in summer and in winter! This is why its so important to wear a SFP of 30 ALL year round.
Our diet and the enviroment we live in all play a part in our skin health too.
At Zen Lifestyle our skin specalists can offer you advice on how to prevent skin ageing and maintain good skin health. We have a wide range of home care products aswell as fantastic in-salon treatments. Our skin specalists have many years experience in working with solutions tailored to the needs of specific skin types and skin conditions.
