Fleurs Summer Skincare Saviours!

As our wardrobes change through the seasons, it’s important we do the same with our skincare routines. Different products and treatments help protect the skin for different climates and conditions. We asked Cosmetic Courses expert skin trainer Fleur to share her top skincare saviours in the Summer!

For Hyperpigmentation

All skin types are different and it’s important to work to your own type. For people prone to hyperpigmentation we recommend a product with a tyrannise inhibitor in, this helps slow down the melanocytes over producing the melanin which cause the darker unsightly brown patches on our skin. Fleur recommends NeoStrata Pigment Controller to help with this.

For all skin types

For all skin types we recommend a lighter based moisturiser in the summer than winter as our skin tends to be a little more hydrated due to the weather but shine can build up throughout the day. So ideally a light hydrating moisturiser will work best and ensuring you skin feels and looks its best in the Summer seasons!

sheer hydration

Fleur recommends NeoStrata Sheer Hydration for this. The oil-free daily hydrator also contains SPF 35 to help protect the skin from rays whilst helping control and reduce oiliness.

  • Helps control and reduce oiliness
  • NeoGlucosamine is clinically proven to help reduce the appearance of dark spots
  • Evens skin tone and improves skin firmness
  • Provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection

For UV protection

SPF is very important for everybody’s skincare routine and should be used all year round to help prevent harmful UV rays causing photo-ageing. Fleur recommends Heliocare which provides advanced anti-ageing UV protection. Combining high technology mineral & non mineral filters with photobiological protectants.heliocare-advanced-spf-50-gel-50ml-c94A UV protection that goes way beyond traditional sunscreens by providing four advanced levels of protection:

Can I have a Chemical Peel in the Summer?

Chemical Peels are a fantastic treatment and can be personalised for different skin conditions and ages to help get the most out of them. The exfoliating treatment works by removing the dead layers of damaged skin cells on the face leaving a healthy glow behind making the patient feel refreshed and revitalised! 

There is a lot of myths which surround Chemical Peels largely summoned by media and entertainment influence. The most popular being the Samantha scene in Sex in the City peel (not true!) and the second that you cant have a chemical skin peel in the Summer.

Cosmetic Courses expert trainer Fleur took time out of her busy schedule to answer the much asked question.

“Can I have a Chemical Peel in the Summer?”

Yes!

The majority of AHA and BHA chemical peels are safe to have all year round as long as you follow a few basic rules:

  • Always use an SPF that is a physical barrier not chemical barrier with the preferred factor of 50 straight after your peel – this gives you the ultimate protection you need. SPF should be used all year round to help prevent harmful UV rays causing photo-ageing. Introduce it into your morning skincare routine as your last step to help protect your face and neck areas.
  • Part of the process of a skin peel is very much, your skin peels! We advise you keep your face out of direct sunlight for a few days as best you can and this is when your skin will be most vulnerable as it has shed its old layer and a new fresh layer is on show.
  • If you have an event coming up and want a peel before hand to help refresh your skin we advise that for a light peel you leave 5 days for optimum results and 10 days for a stronger peel.

Chemical Peels at Cosmetic Courses

At Cosmetic Courses we offer Chemical Peels at the reduced cost of £70 including microdermabasion, which is an approximate discounts of £100 on normal high street prices. This treatment is available at our Buckinghamshire, Birmingham, Nottingham & Leeds clinics.
