How To Achieve The Best Results From Your Beauty Treatments

From time to time, it is within our nature to want to seek beauty treatments. It can help us feel more confident or healthier. Either way, it is good to know how to achieve the best results when you attain a beauty treatment.

Whether you wish to seek a damaged hot oil treatment for your hair or a facial treatment, here are some tips to ensure you achieve the best results from your beauty treatments.

Invest in the professionals

When you are considering a beauty treatment, you will want to spend your money to achieve the best outcome.

For instance, if you are considering Botox, it is wise to invest in the best people in the industry to ensure safe and aesthetic results. It is worthwhile saving for a while longer to seek the best beauty treatments and you will guarantee to be more satisfied with the results. After all, you could put your beauty and health at risk if you seek unprofessional beauty treatments. So, do your research and save to invest in the best people.

Choose a hygienic clinic

Another way to get the best results from your treatments is to choose a hygienic clinic.

When you were getting a beauty treatment, it is important to put your health first. Therefore, ensuring that the clinic is as hygienic as possible will guarantee that when your procedure is going on, you will be safe from health hazards. You can check a clinic's hygiene rating online or ask to see their certifications.

Choose a clinic with great reviews

Furthermore, it is a great idea to choose a clinic that has excellent reviews. You can check clinic reviews online, like you can with the hygiene of the clinic, as well as see reviews on their social media.

It can be a good idea to check a clinic's tagged pictures on social media to see the results of other patients as well as what they have to say about the treatments. You can get honest reviews by looking into a company's social media tagged images and opinions.

Understand the post-treatment procedures

It is important to understand the post-treatment procedures which you can attain from the clinician.

For instance, if you are getting your eyelashes permed, then you will want to know that you cannot use oil-based cleansers or get water on your eyelashes after the treatment has finished. If you do not follow the procedures, then your lash perm may be hindered and the results will not be as good as you hoped for.

Know how to care for yourself properly after the treatment

Furthermore, you might require specific care after you have had a beauty treatment.

For instance, if you get Botox, you may need some downtime and rest and recover from the injections. Most treatments like this require minimal downtime. However, some treatments are a bit more invasive. Therefore, it is a good idea to know how to care for yourself after the treatment so you can remain as healthy and well as possible. Ask the clinician and they will give you a thorough brief to maximize and maintain your health and comfort post-treatment.

Understand if you are actually suitable for the treatment

You might consider yourself to be suitable for all beauty treatments. However, there are a select few treatments where you need to meet certain requirements in order to be safe and fit for the treatment.

For instance, it is not safe to get laser hair removal when you are pregnant. Knowing this before you book and go in for the treatment will ensure that you can keep yourself as safe and healthy as possible.

If there is pain involved, asked for something to numb you

If you experience pain throughout a beauty treatment, it might put you off from having it or finishing it. This will hinder the beauty treatment results.

Before you can, ask the clinician to numb the desired area before the treatment begins so that you can remain as pain-free and comfortable as possible. This will guarantee that you can relax during your treatment and the clinician can work their magic to provide you with the best results.

Ensuring to take these tips on board will help you achieve the best results from your beauty treatments in the future. Simply investing your money and time into the best professionals and checking up on the clinics, hygiene, and final result reviews will guarantee that you can feel happy and confident about any beauty treatment that you have.

This is Silk Power Up Barrier Booster

When a product instantly sells out, you know it is going to be quite something and this time it is the Power Up Silk Barrier Booster from This Is Silk, a brand I was introduced to last year and one which I absolutely loved getting to know.

This Is Silk started when brand founder Sonal experienced the healing power of Silk for her own painful skin and damaged hair. A bit of research as to why Silk was helping, Sonal realised there is vast amounts of medical literature on the powerful benefits of Silk for skin and hair. So the brand, after further research was born. My first Silk product happened to be a pillowcase and then an eye mask, something I now cannot sleep without and have been known to take with me when I stay in a hotel, so I have no doubts that skincare products will be as amazing.

Described and promoted as being a Barrier Booster, a term that has become a bit a buzz word for 2023. Having spent many years using products which have irritated my skin, been top harsh and have caused reactions, inflammation and in some cases soreness, all in the effort to get baby soft smooth skin, minimised pores and no wrinkles - the latter of course being impossible.

So, Power Up Silk Barrier Booster is perfect for a whole lot of skin types or skin with issues that is in need of some love:

• Skin showing signs of ageing
• Skin that needs 'plumping'.
• Skin in need of serious TLC
• Sore, red and dry skin
• Sensitive skin ~ oil and fragrance free.

This product has been designed to be added to your existing skincare products and it works to demonstrate the power of Silk and Silk Peptides. Silk peptides have been scientifically proven to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, Improve skin elasticity and 'bounce', reduce hyper-pigmentation and fight blemishes, improve the barrier function of skin and Boost skin's natural collagen levels - in short it is quite the ingredient.  This product also contains Silk Fibroin, Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Cholesterol and Glycerin

As this has been designed to be added to your existing skincare products, the advice is to apply and mix 1-2 drops in the palm of your hand with your moisturiser / oil / serum / retinol before applying to your skin, thankfully it does come with a pipette to make it easy to use. 

My skin is combination oily but with dry patches, so adding this into my routine has been quite something, it isn't greasy to tacky and it doesn't make any of your skincare products separate when it is mixed in.  For me, it came into its own when I used a mask which had Kaolin Clay as an ingredient, something my skin absolutely hates and was a reminder to do a patch test first.   So with my sore, red and angry skin, I applied this Barrier Booster to a calming face mask and it worked its magic to soothe and dull the redness.

Priced at £24, it is worth every single penny.

3 Ways Your Self Confidence Can Be Affected

Image credit 

If you could rate your confidence on a scale of 1 to 10, where would you put yourself? In 2022 a poll of 2,000 people found 46 of those surveyed struggled with low self-confidence and self-esteem issues. If this is you, then you are not as alone as you think. Low self-confidence can have a massive impact on your mental and physical health and lead to you missing out on opportunities and experiences just because you might not feel good enough to do them or worthy of being able to participate.

Self-confidence can be affected by many different things, and knowing how to turn things around and give yourself a much-needed boost can be instrumental in turning things around and helping you work on becoming more confident day to day.

Poor Body Image

Pretty much every person has something they don't like about their body. These can vary in complexity and how much they affect their life. For example, if you hate the shape of your nose, this can affect how you interact with people and how social you are, as you might shy away from socialising. While Plastic Surgery can rectify any nasal shape issues, if you are unhappy with your body shape or weight, you can change your diet and start exercising to help you change your body to help you improve how you feel about yourself.

Negative Thinking

How you think about yourself and the words you use to describe yourself in your head and out loud will reinforce that image you have of yourself. It's all too easy to fall into the trap of putting yourself down and focusing on the parts of yourself you don't like or want to change. It's precisely the same as reading product reviews. There could be 99 glowing reviews, but you will seek out and focus on that one negative one. But you can change this. Whenever a negative thought pops into your head, replace it with a good one. Make a list of all of the things you like about yourself. It could be anything big or small. It can be something about your appearance, such as how you did your makeup that day or how you look in a particular outfit, or it can be about a positive experience you have or want to have that day. Whatever it is, store it in your memory, and when the negative thoughts creep in, replace them and push them out of your mind.

Comparing Yourself

Comparison is the thief of joy. And in an age where people are subjected to perfect images online, it can be all too easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others and their views. But remember, they will only show you what they want you to see. You won't always see the outtakes, the before shots or the messy house behind the immaculate kitchen. You are seeing a snapshot of someone's life, and you need to keep that in mind when comparing yourself to others. You are good enough; nothing on social media is always 100% real.

Confidence isn't something you can gain overnight. Taking small steps to change how you see yourself and think about yourself can make all the difference to your confidence to allow you to thrive as needed to be.
