Best acne treatment to prevent breakouts during the summer

When the summertime comes around, the last thing any of us wants is to have a sudden acne breakout. We want to be looking and feeling our best, and anyone prone to acne will be worrying about spots appearing as the weather warms up. Fortunately, there are some very effective treatments available to help, and Ivory Aesthetics want to tell you about the most potent combination to keep you looking fresh-faced through the summer months!

The oxygen facial

The first is the oxygen facial, which offers a ‘Clarity’ focused treatment that calms existing acne and prepares your skin to resist another breakout. The ‘Clarity’ infusion of specially blended ingredients is sprayed on to your skin, then the therapist will carefully administer a blast of oxygen all over the face with a wand that helps enhance the absorption of the serum into your skin. Finally, you get topical creams applied on top to maximise the effect.

This procedure has been shown to produce fantastic results for the ongoing battle with acne, and could help you head into the summer worry-free. For best results, however, it can be combined with another treatment for the most powerful effect possible.

LED therapy

Combine it with LED therapy – trust us! This treatment is tailor-made to blitz stubborn breakouts by exposing the acne-causing bacteria to light from red or blue LEDs, effectively killing them while doing zero harm to your skin. The light stimulates your skin’s natural healing mechanisms to combat the bacteria beneath the skin’s surface.

During treatment, our aesthetician will focus on existing blemishes and areas that are most prone to acne. The process will be an intensive assault on any Propionibacterium (that’s acne-causing bacteria) present in the skin, helping minimise the risk of an unwanted breakout in the summer.

A powerful combination

When these two treatments are used together, you put your face through a holistic treatment that targets the heart of the issue and leaves your skin feeling cleansed and refreshed! This combination is your most powerful weapon in the fight against acne, because it removes the bacteria and then equips the skin with the nutrients it needs to stop them from quickly returning.

Best oxygen facial in Dubai? We (definitely) think so!

Oxygen Facial is the best way to nourish tired and dry skin. It uses a spray of highly concentrated oxygen molecules to regenerate collagen growth. This spray is directed via a machine onto the outer layer of the skin, the epidermis. Infused in the oxygen are essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins and plant extracts.

Benefits of an oxygen facial

Smoother, plumper, more radiant skin is the most obvious benefit of the oxygen facial. This is due to the collagen boost promoted by the treatment, as collagen is the main protein that gives skin its elasticity and strength. The disappearance of collagen over time in our skin leads to lines and wrinkles – oxygen facials therefore reduce these natural signs of ageing.

Thanks to the vitamins and minerals infused in the spray, oxygen facials are also superb at detoxifying skin. This in turn helps to regenerate skin cells and combat the results of UV exposure, air pollution and changes to our diet.

Is it suitable for people with sensitive skin?

The oxygen spray technique is one of the gentlest on your skin, causing no side effects. As such, it’s a great option for those with sensitive skin as it won’t result in swelling, burning, stinging or redness. No chemicals are used in the process.

Oxygen facials restore the skin’s natural pH levels by moisturising deeply. If you have dry or tired skin – a natural reaction to dust and sunlight – an oxygen facial can reinvigorate and protect your skin from harm.

Other benefits of the oxygen facial include healing acne by cleaning and shrinking pores, and the treatment’s very quick recovery time. You can go back to your usual skincare regime immediately after an oxygen facial. It can even rebalance uneven skin tones thanks to its vitamin and peptide content.

Shohreh Bagherian, Ivory’s skincare expert, has been described as “one of Dubai’s hidden gems” by Harper’s Bazaar Arabia. According to Good Housekeeping her treatments reveal “a clear dermal undercoat that is still radiant weeks later”. One of the most experienced skincare therapists in the region, Shohreh Bagherian guarantees fresher, younger-looking skin with immediate results.

Sun Damaged Skin – What You Need To Know & Quick Fixes

Everyone loves the sunshine. It makes you feel happy, energised and of course it’s fabulous for that tan.

However, it is incredibly easy for your skin to become damaged when living in Dubai because of the soaring temperatures and scorching summer heat.

Below we explore what you need to know about sun damaged skin, quick fixes you can do at home, and the benefit of facial treatments to treat sun damaged skin.

What you need to know to protect your skin

It is incredibly easy to get sun damaged skin. However, there are certain precautions that you can take to protect your skin.

Apply suncream
When you plan to spend any time in the sun you must apply suncream. Preferably with an SPF of at least 30 or higher. Keep applying it throughout the day.

Drink water
It is incredibly easy to become dehydrated when out in the heat of summer. When you are dry, your skin is dry. Always carry a water bottle with you and take regular sips to keep hydrated.

Love the shade
When possible, stay in the shade and try to take regular breaks in the shade during periods of intense heat. It’s also advisable to keep your skin covered to avoid sunburn. Carrying an umbrella around for shade isn’t a bad idea either!

Quick fixes you can do at home

If you are unlucky and become mildly sunburned, then there are a few things you can do at home to ease your symptoms.

Yogurt is a wonderful natural remedy that can be applied directly to the skin to soothe and reduce redness.

Running a cool bath can also help soothe skin, as can applying a cold compress (frozen peas work well.

Quick fix facial treatments

To reverse sun damaged skin and give it some much-needed care, there are a range of quick fix facial options available as well.
