Dehydrated skin
Dehydrated skin can look dull, feel tight and show fine lines more easily. SkinBase Hydro is a facial designed around putting hydration back, with a serum matched to your skin goals.
Quick answer
SkinBase Hydro cleanses, gently exfoliates with AHAs and BHAs, then infuses a personalised serum chosen for your skin goals, taking as little as 30 minutes according to SkinBase. For a specific concern SkinBase suggests a course of 3 to 6 treatments. Nicola offers it in Belfast.
What dehydration feels like
Dehydrated skin is short of water, not necessarily oil. It can feel tight and look flat or tired, even when it is not dry in the usual sense. Treating it means putting water back and helping it stay.
What SkinBase Hydro does
SkinBase Hydro is a hydrating facial from SkinBase. It cleanses, exfoliates, purifies and hydrates the skin, then infuses a serum chosen for your skin goals using a handheld device.
- The skin is cleansed and prepared.
- A blend of AHAs and BHAs gently exfoliates.
- A personalised serum is worked into the skin.
The serum is the part that makes it personal: it is chosen for what you want your skin to do, rather than the same product for every client.
How long and how often
SkinBase says a treatment can take as little as 30 minutes. One session gives a quick boost. For a specific concern, SkinBase suggests a course of 3 to 6 treatments. Nicola will talk you through how many suit your skin and how to space them.
Looking after hydrated skin
Hydration lasts longer when you look after the surface between visits. SkinBase aftercare advice is to wear SPF 30 or higher and moisturise regularly, and to avoid sunbeds and tanning products around your treatments.
