Sun Damage? Try The Urban Oasis Brightening Facial
It feels so good to spend time in the sunshine, but it can take a toll on your skin; those same lovely rays that feel so luxurious also give off ultraviolet (UV) light that damages your skin and causes sunburn. Over time, this can lead to wrinkles, dark spots, and other problem areas. The result will be to add years to your looks. Research shows that UV exposure and sun damage is the reason behind 80% of your skin’s aging!
What Can I Expect From An Urban Oasis Brightening Facial?
Our Brightening Facial will brighten your uneven skin tone while resurfacing to reveal a glowing complexion. This treatment starts with a double cleansing, lactic acid or a glycolic chemical peel, customized facial mask, lifting facial massage, and customized skincare. This process also addresses the appearance of:
- fine lines and wrinkles,
- sun damage, hyperpigmentation and
- acne.
Why Is The Urban Oasis Brightening Facial So Effective In Managing Sun Damage?
Let’s talk about some of the effective ingredients and methods we use in our Brightening Facial:
- Lactic Acid. Lactic acid is a natural acid derived from milk, fruit, vegetables, and other plants. It’s found in over-the-counter skincare products used for anti-aging and used in chemical peels. With a reputation for being gentler and less irritating than glycolic acid, it also hydrates, increases natural barrier lipids in the outer layer of skin, and lightens and brightens the look of skin for those with discoloration.
- Glycolic Chemical Peel. Glycolic acid peels are resurfacing treatments that remove the top layer of the skin, revealing the smoother, younger skin underneath. They are commonly used to treat acne, reduce the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles, and lighten pigmentation skin discoloration. Though often effective, glycolic peels can be irritating and involve recovery time.
- Lifting Facial Massage. A gentle effleurage (gliding) movement is most often used. The strokes must be gentle and stimulating when performing the facial massage to avoid stretching the skin. Pressure strokes should move upward to give the facial muscles a lift rather than dragging them down. Benefits include an immediate increase in blood and oxygen flow, which in the long term increases collagen production, and therefore a youthful glow.
As you can see, our Brightening Facial includes all the necessary ingredients and processes to help your skin recover from the damage that is caused by the sun.
