Elemis Tri-Enzyme Facial at Dessange Paris

Yesterday, I had a facial at Dessange Paris. I usually do my own facials at home but recently my skin has been very temperamental so I decided to leave it to the professionals.
My skin is combination to oily, sensitive and prone to breakouts. Quite often the breakouts can leave marks, I also have 3 small scars from mucking around as a kid and a little pigmentation on my chin and nose.
As a result of all these elements, I elected to get the Dermalogica Medicated Clearing Facial. Once in the treatment room the lovely Elizabeth from Dessange examined my mug in detail. She informed me that my skin was not acne prone and so on but merely reactive, with blocked pores, a little pigmentation and overall in good condition. The Demalogica Medicated Facial would be too harsh for my skin and also unnecessary so she recommended the Elemis Tri-Enzyme Facial which would take 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Here is the blurb:
“The treatment pioneers the precision layering of 3 targeted enzyme serums to resurface the skin by up to 75 % thus stimulating biological cell renewal .In addition skin is smoothed by up to 32 % and the appearance of acne scarring ,pigmentation and lines are visibly reduced.”
Elizabeth began by cleansing my face and then used steam to open my pores. It was then cleansed again using a variety of different products, massaged and so on. After much of this she extracted blackheads from my t zone which was mildly uncomfortable and then immediately applied a face mask to my whole face. This part was a little weird as it felt like it was burning. She told me the mask would stay on for 7 minutes but that she would take it off earlier if it was too uncomfortable. I stuck it out as it wasn’t that bad and then a serum was applied, a soothing mask and then another serum!
Once we were done, I was so relaxed I could barely get off the bed. My skin was a little bit blotchy around the chin area but otherwise looked fine.
This morning however, I looked in the mirror and got a bit of a shock. My skin looks absolutely AMAZING, its so clear and even, the scarring has been reduced and its so incredibly soft.
I am so impressed with the results of this facial that I will be going back again in 2 months for a repeat!

How I create big, textured, tousled hair ☝️ How I create big, textured, tousled hair ☝️ 

Step 1. Dry shampoo, disperses evenly throughout the hair. I’m using @amika Perk It Up at the moment. Leave it to sit for a minute, then work in with your fingers. And then brush through.

Step 2. A curling wand. I use @instylerireland. Grab big sections and twist away from the face. For bangs, I like to pull forward and down, and then wave away from the face. Leave hair to cool for a minute or two. 

Step 3. Texture spray. I’m using @lovekmireland Doo Over here. Lift sections of the hair and spritz underneath. Don’t spritz on top as this will weigh down and mattify the hair. Do this evenly throughout your hair, and then work in with your fingers. 

Step 4. Root lift. I only ever use @oribe Dry Texturising Spray for this. I’ve never found anything as good as it. Again, lift up sections of hair (but only at the root), and spritz underneath. Do this evenly.m throughout - about three sections on each side of the head. Then spend a good minute working in with your fingers. 

And there you have it. Big textured, tousled hair 👋

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and National Su May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and National Sunscreen Day is on May 27th, so let’s talk about sunscreen 🧴 

☀️ Wearing sunscreen every day is the single best thing you can do for your skin. It’s the BEST anti-aging ingredient on the market.

☀️ Broad spectrum sunscreen reduces your chances of sunburn, of developing fine lines and wrinkles and pigmentation. It also gives your skin the opportunity to repair itself from damage that has previously occurred.

☀️ The way to get the stated SPF protection level on the bottle is by applying two milligrams of sunscreen per centimeter squared. That’s a solid amount of sunscreen. Make sure you’re applying a good dollop; a handful; at least a two finger amount. 

☀️ Apply liberally to your face, neck, chest, backs of your hands and your ears (and any other exposed skin!). 

☀️ Always use a standalone SPF. Using moisturiser or foundation with SPF is no good. The amount you put on your face will not give you sufficient coverage.

☀️ There are so many great sunscreens on the market, but the best one for you is the one you’ll actually use every day. Find one you love, one that feels good on your skin and works well under makeup, and stick with it.

Did you know Ruby Woo was created by accident? 💋 
The MAC team attempted to tweak the formula of Russian Red (another classic) and Ruby Woo was the result. It was launched in 1999 as part of a new lipstick collection called Retro Matte and has been a bestseller ever since! 
One of my all-time favourite, forever and ever lipsticks 💄
