Modern
lifestyle comes with a lot of pressure to look immaculate, especially
in a city like London. Many of us are looking for ways to address signs
of ageing, and not many options available out there are necessarily
natural, clean and beneficial to our health. Some of them even have
questionable long-term effect, not just for our skin, but general health
as well.
Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture is an effective way of tackling the signs of ageing. Its application is non-invasive, holistic, chemical free, and this ancient technique will have an immediate effect on your overall wellbeing. In fact, acupuncture has been an Asian beauty secret for hundreds of years, equally enjoyed by male and female Chinese royalty.
Facial
acupuncture may sound scary to some people, but the reality is that it
is almost pain-free thanks to the super fine needles. These very fine
needles, as thin as a strand of hair, are very carefully inserted into
key areas and creases in your face. The tiny punctures cause positive
micro-trauma that stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory system, which
work together to deliver nutrients and oxygen to your skin cells. In
this way skin is nourished from the inside out. The positive
micro-trauma also stimulates the production of collagen, which helps to
improve elasticity, minimising fine lines and wrinkles. Some
of the benefits of facial rejuvenation acupuncture include: reduction
of fine lines, softening of deep wrinkles, lifting and toning muscles on
your face and neck, evening of skin tone and texture, reduction of
under eye bags, better skin hydration, increased circulation and
vitality. It can also help to eliminate and disperse unsuccessful
cosmetic treatments, such as Botox and fillers.
While
treating the face we are also addressing the body so facial acupuncture
can actually help you with improving your digestion, help with sleep
and reducing stress levels. As a side effect you will experience the
positive effects it has on your energy levels, mood and spirit too!
Here are some tips on how to look after your face and skin:
- Massage your face regularly, for at least two minutes a day, it promotes the circulation of lymph and blood and it also helps with toning the muscles on your face
- SPF is essential when it comes to protecting your skin because the UV light can seriously damage, dehydrate and stimulate the free radicals that damage our skin cells and cause inflammation. When choosing a good SPF I would advise you to use mineral based products.
- Strong skin = healthy skin, keep the good bacteria of your skin happy and alive by cleansing your skin with Ph neutral products. Choose ingredients wisely, keep away from soap and SLS’s that will strip off the good bacteria
- Avoid harsh chemical and peeling acids because they damage the good bacteria on your skin. In addition, they will weaken the skin and speed up the ageing process
