Here at Enhancing Beauty we are passionate about skincare! Having used many creams from a variety of companies over a number of years we feel that we know what works and what doesn’t.
Firstly all of the ranges we stock are’ Cosmeceutical’. The term ‘Cosmecuetical’ describes skincare products that contain active ingredients that have been proven to have a physiological effect on the skin. This means that they are not your cosmetic brands that can be bought over the counter at the large department stores but are more a mixture of pharmaceutical grade ingredients mixed with cosmetics solutions. These skincare products are generally regarded as being the middle ground between purely Cosmetic ranges and Pharmaceutical ranges, hence the term ‘Cosmeceutical’.
Secondly all of these ranges contain active ingredients that are in a form that can be utilised by the skin. Cosmetic brands inform us that their products contain for example Vitamin C however what they fail to tell us is that this is not in a form that can be readily used by the skin!
Thirdly we only stock brands that are backed by clinical and scientific evidence. We feel that this is important as we want to know that if we invest in a product that it really does what it claims to do.
No more over the counter cosmetic products for us as we want something that works and we are sure you do too!!
We like to stress the importance of good skincare to all our clients as if you are investing in a course of treatments we feel you should be protecting your results and investment by using a good skincare range. For this we are not talking cleansers, toners or even moisturisers in most cases but real correction and preventative products. We advocate that all clients use a proven antioxidant and separate SPF. The latest research has shown that this is the best way to prevent further skin damage and to protect your skin from the sun and free radical damage.
If you are interested in using skincare products that are proven and want to try to correct and protect your skin have a look at our skincare range pages. Enhancing Beauty offer a free skin analysis service to ascertain which products would be most suitable for your individual needs or alternatively are happy to give advice and recommendations over the telephone. If you would like any further help or advice please do not hesitate to contact us.
