The festive season doesn’t do our skin any favours! From dehydration and lack of sleep to rich food and stress can all impact the skin’s health. Lisa Franklin, founder of CACI’s London flagship, Lisa Franklin Clinic Privé and an Advanced CACI Clinic reveals her top tips for perking up a tired complexion and restore its glow:
1. Drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body and skin. Hydration is essential for maintaining a healthy and radiant complexion.
2. Boost the appearance of skin radiance and luminosity – use a hydrating and nourishing product with stimulating peptides to help replenish and rebalance the skin's moisture and barrier function.
3. Undertake in-clinic professional facial treatments which will address specific skin concerns like acne, fine lines and hyperpigmentation, providing targeted solutions for individual needs. For me, the signature CACI Synergy non-surgical facelift treatment is the original and still the best all-round procedure to lift and tone facial muscles, providing a non-invasive alternative to a traditional facelift.
4. If you have persistent skin concerns, consider consulting a skin specialist for personalised advice and treatment plan recommendations. Be consistent with both your at-home skincare routines and in-clinic treatments like CACI. Only through investing in your skin will you see desired results and achieve your goals. Remember, effective skincare with sustainable long-term healthy results is a journey.
5. Stress can trigger the release of hormones like cortisol, which may stimulate oil production and lead to an increase in acne and breakouts. Inflammation in the body can also exacerbate skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea.
6. Encourage relaxation in every professional treatment. A client focused approach is key to creating a relaxing and enjoyable experience. We always begin any CACI session with a warm and friendly greeting to make the client feel welcome. We always ensure the environment is as comfortable as possible form appropriate lighting, temperature to heated treatment beds and clean, soft linens. We provide a cosy blanket and pillow to enhance the client's comfort during the treatment.
7. Physical activity helps to reduce stress hormones and promote the release of endorphins, our feel-good hormones. Practices such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, and yoga can help calm the mind and reduce stress. These techniques also have positive effects on skin health.
8. Prioritise getting enough quality sleep. Lack of sleep can contribute to stress and negatively impact skin health.
9. For an instant treatment pick-me-up, a CACI Micro-Touch Facial is the perfect choice. The targeted muscle lift, tension alleviation, and deep tissue relaxation, contributing to a more sculpted, toned, and enhanced facial definition provides an instant pick-me-up. The Electro Gloves serve a dual purpose by facilitating both CACI’s Micro-Touch facial and Hand Rejuvenation treatments. The gloves, when activated harness microcurrent energy for facial stimulation. The Micro-Touch Treatment integrates CACI's renowned muscle lifting techniques with cutting-edge microcurrent technology, precisely tailored for focused facial contouring.
