Why do i need a facial?
Why are they important?
A regular facial is beneficial for a number of reasons. Firstly, the dedication to commit to a monthly facial generally means you will also commit to better home care which is equally essential. Secondly, the relationship you build with your therapist will enable them to understand your skin & lifestyle & support you with changes you might need to make to your skincare.
At The Cotswold Skin Clinic, I offer a range of facials, whether it’s for a deep cleanse, a resurfacing treatment, hydration, or puffiness, there is plenty to choose from. From more invasive treatments like Aquagold Finetouch to a simple & quick Obagi signature facial there will be something to suit everyone.
Just as it is important to get regular facials to boost and correct the skin, it is equally essential to continue your own skincare routine at home. Combining the two will give amazing results and ensure your skin is perfectly supported.
Why do I offer only Meder & Obagi?
It was imperative that the brands I stocked had the same ethos as The Cotswold Skin Clinic. I want results & I want their data to be backed up by clinical evidence. There are a lot of facials that offer promises of relaxation & beautiful fragrances & ambiance but will they give results?…. Not always.
Obagi offer scientifically backed, clinical-quality formulations to promote healthy skin. Their philosophy is to meticulously develop transformational products and rigorously test them. Knowing how the skin works at the cellular level means Obagi’s approach is to make a positive impact and support healthy, optimal skin.
Meder Beauty is a professional skincare brand founded by dermatologist Dr. Tiina Meder. They are the leaders in innovative ingredients to create products that would be truly inclusive and support microbiome health. They are created in the Swiss laboratory & are suitable for all ages, all skin types, and at any stage of life, including during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause Plus they are microbiome-friendly, cruelty-free, and sustainable. I regularly attend live webinars with Dr. Tina Meder who ensures all her therapists work to a high standard when offering Meder treatments.
The Cotswold Skin Clinic Facial Subscription
At The Cotswold Skin Clinic, I felt it was imperative that I take the stress out of choosing which facial is best for you. So I created the monthly subscription service, not only do you get discounted facials, but I can select the right treatment for what your skin needs that month.
Whilst our skin has inherited traits, such as a ‘skin type’, this doesn’t mean dry skin won’t break out or oily skin needs an ‘acne’ treatment. Our skin changes with the seasons, our lifestyle, hormones, and stresses.
The subscription involves a monthly facial, with 15% off the regular price plus bonus gifts at 6 months & a complimentary facial at 12 months. They have been hugely popular as gift packages & suitable during pregnancy.
Getting the best out of your facials?
1- Introduce some facial massage- I am not talking ‘facial yoga’, I am thinking of increasing blood flow to the area, which can easily be incorporated into your daily cleansing.
2- Use actives- Start with 1 or 2 and build. Ideas to start are peptides serums, Vit C and Vit A
3- Use a weekly treatment mask- Whether this is for hydration, counteracting oiliness, or exfoliation.
4- Try some home gadgets, LED, ice globes * skin tightening devices like Newa® are some of my favourites.
5- Remember your neck -Both in cleansing, skincare & SPF.
6- Skin is an organ- Stop seeing skincare as beauty & more about the health of your skin- we nourish our bodies with the foods we eat. The same goes for our skin.
