The Dangers of DIY Facials

I found a very interesting article on DIY facials. Spring has arrived and we are all looking for ways to spruce up our appearance. But with less disposable income, some are turning to DIY spa treatments. However, this article gives warning to the damage that a DIY facial can cause. "By stripping away layers of skin in this way, not only can you get broken capillaries, you can also end up scarred if you scratch your skin.

Most worrying, though, especially in light of the recent spell of good weather, is the damage that can be caused simply by exposing your skin to the sun after undergoing microdermabrasion.

'Anything that damages the epidermis, as microdermabrasion does, puts the skin at risk of sun damage,' explains Jane. 'All it takes is someone to do a home microdermabrasion during the week, then spend a few hours in the sun at the weekend, and they could easily end up with pigmentation spots that make the skin look even worse than before.'"

The @ease spa can offer you facials and microdermabrasion performed by trained professionals at an affordable price.
