By Mary Basiadima, 4 April 2020

Normal life as we know it is on hold. Classes are cancelled, offices are closed, no moredinner or meals at your favourite restaurant… We can cope with that but…

…how do we cope with beauty clinics being closed and left alone to deal our skin and our out

of control hair growing everywhere!. No more popping in for a laser, hydrafacial or hifu

treatment, at least for now.

Well if you can’t come to the clinic, the clinic will have to come to you!.

We have prepared an essential beauty list for you so you can give yourself some well-deserved pampering and care.

We asked all our to share their favourite homemade recipes for skincare. The greatnews is all the ingredients can be found in your fridge!

So, let the pampering begin!

First, Exfoliation!

“Before each mask or treatment, you should start with proper exfoliation.“; says our expertclinician Anna from our Clapham clinic.

Anna continued “Good exfoliation removes the dead skin cells clogging the skin and reveals

fresh new cells below. Getting rid of the dead skin leaves your skin looking fresh and

healthy. And more importantly, good exfoliation opens the way for your skin masks,

moisturisers or other beauty products to penetrate your skin more deeply. And you can

benefit more from your beauty treatment.“

Anna has a simple yet effective recipe for skin exfoliation at home. All you need is 2ingredients. To prepare your face before all the masks, you should mix;

and make a nice skin scrub. Exfoliate your skin with this and wash off with lukewarm water. Thank you for the skincare tip, Anna!

A facial to tackle Under eye puffiness

Maybe you have had one too many late nights getting through the latest series on Netflix or

up late chatting to friends with a glass of wine or two. Under eye puffiness or bags under eyes

commonly appear at any age. It gets worse the older you get though.

With ageing, the tissues around your eyes, including some of the muscles around

eyelids get weaker. The fat that is the eyes moves into the lower eyelids and it

causes the puffiness around eyes.

Our skincare expert Anna from our Clapham clinic shares her secret for under eye puffiness.

Every evening place two tablespoons into your freezer. In the morning, after cleaning your

face, use the cold spoons using outwards movements focusing on eyes to increase

circulation and reduce puffiness. For best results make sure to do it every morning for 5-10

mins.

After the skin exercise, don’t worry if your skin gets red. That only means that it’s working!

Also make sure that your curtains are closed and no one is around as they may think you lost

the plot!
