DE-SENSE FACIAL

What a facial can do for your skin

A facial performed by a trained professional or skin clinician can help keep your skin looking and feeling healthy, even if you do not have any skin conditions or disorders. In addition, a facial massage can help your skin to glow by improving circulation and blood flow, but also helps one to relax and de- stress while working on some self-care.

Facials can address many skin conditions such as acne, dryness, red and reactive skin. They are a great way to detox and rejuvenate the skin. They can improve fine lines and wrinkles and boost collagen, help with evening out skin tone, reduce the size of pores and improve acne. They will also help your home care skin products to work better by improving the absorption capabilities of your skin.

What is the Bioline De-Sense Facial Treatment?

This Bioline facial treatment contains ultra-active and concentrated Biomimetic Peptides to increase the skin's tolerance to external agents and strengthens the skin barrier, for instant and prolonged relief.

This treatment includes a few steps and 2 masks to intensely nourish the skin, reinforce the skins protective barrier, and smooth and restore freshness. The skin is visibly firmer and deeply hydrated.

It is also suitable for those who don't have sensitive skin, but in need of a hydration boost and those wanting smoother and more even skin. Contains active ingredients of Aloe, Beta - Glucan, Ceramides and oils.

Hypersensitive skin and triggers

Hypersensitive skin can have a major impact on one’s quality of life. There are many treatments and products that can irritate the skin. Combined with temperature fluctuations, alcohol, smoking, spicy foods, UV rays and sun damage can further irritate the skin and impair the skins barrier.

The Bioline De-Sense facial treatment has been specially formulated for hypersensitive and reactive skin. An ultra-delicate, soothing and protective treatment, which provides instant relief to reactive and weathered skin.

Many suffer from thin, reactive and irritated skin and find that there are many products or treatments that can irritate their skin further. This can also be compounded by incorrect product use, overuse of some products, sensitivity to external agents or overly dry skin lacking oils. This facial is suitable for so many skin types.

Hot showers, spicy foods, excessive drinking and incorrect product use can all lead to capillary damage within the skin. The cheeks and nose may be red or visually you may see broken capillaries under the skins surface.

The summer and winter months can also aggregative sensitive skin. The De-Sense facial is an ideal choice in the lead up to these seasons to prevent the harsh conditions from these negative effects.
