Beauty Moments’ skin specialists offer a variety of treatment options to aid their clients’ skin care concerns. Whether you suffer from dry, mature skin which requires exfoliation and hydration, or you have acne which needs deep cleaning and healing, by adding a regular facial peel to your skincare routine will provide you with superior results that you have always longed for.
There are such a wide variety of peels available now, from microdermabrasion to ultra-sonic peeling to Glycolic peels and more harsh chemical peels such as TCA (Tricholracetic Acid) it can becoming very confusing to choose the right one. The reason for the popularity of a peel in more recent years is they provide instant visible results. More mature clients can enjoy an instant reduction in lines and wrinkles. Clients in their 20s can instantly receive a more fresh complexion.
Peels are chemical mixtures that are applied to the skin to enable exfoliation. Peels were first introduced for acne scarring in 1930s, which were very strong and irritating formulations. However nowadays much more gentle concentrations of acid are used, i.e. they are much safer.
The peels carried out by professional therapists at Beauty Moments are known as “Superficial Peels”. Regular receiving these supericial peels speeds up the rejuvenation of the skin by removing dead skin cells from the outer most layer in a safe and professional environment. The peel can be applied to thick, rough, sun-damaged skin to gradually improve the deep penetration of active ingredients from your homecare products into the deeper layers of the skin. In other words, having regular peels improves the efficiency of your homecare creams.
Acne responds very well to peeling, which can also sterilise the eruptions that occurs in this condition, without causing further damage to surrounding skin tissue. Vitamin A found in creams such as Environ’s AVST range will aid rapid healing when combined with a chemical peel.
A facial peel is also very effective in the treatment for dryness, sun-damage, dehydration, irregular pigmentation and even sagging of the skin.

Here at Beauty Moments (West Wickham) we create a stress-free environment for our clients to experience and relax in whilst enjoying their treatments. Our treatments are described by our clients as both mentally and physically relaxing.
There is a new approach to skin care – psychodermatology. This is the relationship between the mind and the body.
Stress can have bio-chemical affects on the body resulting in inflammatory conditions e.g. psoriasis, eczema and premature ageing. A large part of this is affecting by fluctuation in hormone levels. Regulating these hormone levels can have a profound affect on our health and the appearance of our skin.
A little stress is good for you
Cortisol is the hormone secreted by the adrenal glands when we feel the need to “fight or flee”. It helps provide urgent energy to handle an apparent threat. Cortisol also controls important body functions and is responsible for ageing effects if its levels are too high or too low. This catabolic hormone is able to break down tissue in all parts of the body, affecting the collagen in the skin more than others.
Testosterone and DHEA are anabolic hormones, meaning they build up tissues.
Deficiencies in reproductive hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone causes formation of wrinkles and fine lines and affect our sleeping pattern making you feel more tired. These hormones thicken and strengthen the epidermis, hydrate and maintain the skin’s elasticity, and strengthen the small muscle fibres in the skin. Tiny vertical lines around the lips are due to a lack of oestrogen.
Sleeplessness, exhaustion, anxiety and fine lines are also due to low levels of growth hormone. A combination of hormone deficiencies results in double chine or wrinkled skin.
Hormone replacement therapy is recommended by Dr. Thierry Hertoghe as a way to correct hormone levels causing premature ageing as a result of stress. Although hormone replacement therapy and psychological counselling therapies are available from medical professionals, we here at Beauty Moments have products and advice on ways you can treat yourself at home.

Make-up helps relieve stress
Make-up has also been found to improve mood and reduce stress. Studies have shown reductions in mental stress and anxiety levels occurs in people when they wear make-up. In a study conducted in 2008 showed when a group of participants not wearing make-up were placed in mentally stressful environment, a significant increase in cortisol hormone and reduction is enzyme activity was noted. In another study, a decrease in cortisol and increase in protective enzyme activity was observed when make-up was worn.
Beauty Moments use and recommend Jane Iredale make-up. It is also used by stars such as Nicole Kidman, Victoria Beckham, Madonna and many others. Here is a list of the in-salon treatments available.
• Make-Up
• Make-Up Lesson

Environ products here to help
Dr Des Fernande, plastic surgeon and founder of Environ, recommends the use of certain ingredients as being safe and helpful with treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema. Such conditions often flare up with stress and cause a lot of damaging free radical activity. Therefore nourishing the skin with Vitamin A and major free radical scavengers of the skin, e.g. vitamins C, E and beat-carotene.
Studies have shown skin cells live up to 1.8 times longer when Vitamin A was added to the skin cultures.
Beauty Exercise
Keeping fit has also been shown to reduce stress levels when carried out correctly. Exercise helps in the production of testosterone is related to hormones such as DHEA and DHT, according to Dr David Goldberg (clinical professor at Mt Sinai Medical Centre, New York). Our resident Osteopath Mr Trishul Vadi recommends effective stretching after exercise to maintain a balanced musculo-skeletal system.
Eat your skin healthy
Stress uses up twice as many vitamins, collagen production is reduced, there is a lack of energy to make new skin, the skin is drier and more reactive. B-complex vitamins are required to produce energy to make new skin, Vitamin C helps build collagen, magnesium helps you cope with stress better, aids in hydration and reduction of inflammation of the skin. Calcium is important in the reduction of free radicals, but this is lost when stress occurs in person. Increased adrenal activity caused by mental stress can be inhibited by taking essential fatty acids, which also protect cell membranes (which can be damaged by stress).
By adopting a healthy lifestyle, which includes improved nutrition, using products and treatments provided by highly trained therapists here at Beauty Moments, you can massively reduce the inflammatory effects of stress which can affect your health and skin’s appearance.
