– If mild irritation occurs, use every 3rd night until skin adjusts. In case of prominent redness, irritation or itching, stop the use of the product immediately. 

Having been in the beauty profession spanning 38 years I have seen so much change and advancement in Dermal Therapy Treatment. When I attained my beauty diploma back in 1981 at a young age of 21, there was not the high tech machines for skin rejuvenation or microdermabrasion. We used a steamer and your hands to cleanse and massage the muscles of the face. I remember learning “firmo lift” this is a 20 minute massage that is part the signature facial on offer today at Door of Youth Skin Clinic.

How did I get into this AMAZING profession??

When I was a teenager I had pimples all over my face, for some reason the researcher in me went to the library (YES no internet back then) and started making facial masks in my mums kitchen with wheat germ, honey and egg white. The wheat germ was to draw out the pimples, honey to soften scar tissue and egg white held it all together and firmed the skin!!

You can see why in 2007 I launched a Skin Care Range of products. I started with 3 products and today 12 years on Door of Youth Skincare has 5 skincare products and 3 vitamin serums.

In 2019 there seems to be a BEAUTY CLINIC on each corner, all offering the same to draw clients in.

There is also a war of pricing, and I wonder is it the cheap PRICES what WOMEN want when it comes to their SKIN or the years of experience the Beauty Therapist has??

My PASSION is keeping the SKIN and Body Youthful with a NON TOXIC Lifestyle, this starts with Natural Organic Skincare and Dermal Therapy Facial Treatments.

Today I want to share with you the benefits of SKIN NEEDLING!

Skin Needling  

Is an advanced dermal treatment that is used to stimulate fast collagen production and renewal, resulting in smoother and more youthful looking skin. Skin Needling is the perfect treatment for treating fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, skin texture and an overall rejuvenation of the skin.

The procedure involves the use of an automated pen studded with microneedles as small as 0.1mm in diameter. It creates numerous micro-punctures through the skin with minimal damage to the upper epidermal layer, but microscopic injury to the deeper dermal layer. The injury and minor bleeding trigger a “wound-healing” cascade in the skin. This results in increased collagen and elastin (elastic fibers) production and some degree of repair.

Benefits: – Reduces fine lines, treats dull skin, enlarged pores, loss of elastin, nasio-labial lines and smokers lines.  Skin needling is very safe and heals quickly while preserving the epidermis.

I recommend a microdermabrasion 5 days before to buff the dead skin cells off before we commence the skin needling treatment.

RESULTS when will they be seen? Depending on the age or client and skin condition the next day the skin will be look different. It takes up to 28 days for the rejuvenating, healing process. Then we do the treatment again to achieve the ultimate results!!

For the optimum results 4 treatments are required 4 to 6 weeks apart.

A QUESTION many women ask me is ‘HAVE YOU HAD BOTOX’ No I haven’t had Botox. How I have maintained my skin over the past 10 years is with Skin Needling / IPL Skin Rejuvenation plus microdermabrasions.

I invest into my skin and PAY to have my dermal treatments done at clinic at Southport. LIKE many ladies on a BUDGET, I pay for 4 treatments upfront for a discount!!

SELF- LOVE – RESPECT are essential for a health happy life. Then why is it that so many woman SELF – LOVE – RESPECT tanks are EMPTY??

I was a single mum from when my son was 6 months old, he is now 28 years young. Was life tough at times hell yes, did I go without for my son, sure did. BUT there was one thing I always did back then and do today.
LOVE MY SKIN AND NUTURE, NOURISH IT EVERY NIGHT………Also in the morning too.

Here in 2018 with 37 years’ experience in the beauty profession. Every day I hear WOMAN say, “I don’t have time for me” when are you going to change this and take the time to make the time to “MAKE LOVE TO YOUR SKIN”

SELF-LOVE 💛 you deserve to take 3 or 5 mins to MAKE LOVE to your skin. Your skin will be with you for a long time, so give it some loving!

Does this sound like you?
My days are hectic, working, running the house, being a taxi for the kids, so much to do that when night time arrives and time for bed. I say to myself “why bother cleansing my skin”.

Let me share a short story.
I decided to have AN AFFAIR as I was in a marriage of emptiness, stopped caring for myself, gained weight and thought who really cares? It was January 2014 MY AFFAIR started and it took a while for me to wake up and realised that I had to TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE THE TIME to nurture me if I wanted this AFFAIR to last.

Here we are 4+ years on and I have lost weight, look the best I every have and now 58 years young. Eat healthy (most days) go to gym 3 to 4 times a week and walk my puppy Mr Benji twice a day for 45 minutes.
Oh and the person I have been having AN AFFAIR with is MYSELF, Self-love – Respect for me.

Why share this with you? When we fly in aeroplanes they say attach your OXYGEN MASK before you assist other.

Woman reading this take up the challenge and for the next 21 days every night MAKE LOVE TO YOUR SKIN. Oh and use natural organic skincare as you are feeding your skin!

What our customers love about Door of Youth skincare is it is so simple to use. We have WOMAN all over Australia that have been using our products for 10 years.

Go on YOU DESERVE to have YOUTHFUL GLOWING SKIN every morning.

Micro or Skin Needling has been around for 20 years.

NOW you can keep your skin youthful with the home micro needling 0.3 mm

A minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that involves puncturing the skin with extremely tiny roller of needles to trigger your skin’s repair process and collagen production.

Our collagen in the skin starts to break down from our early 20’s. By doing the home micro needling you will be maintaining the collagen or for the more mature woman rebuilding the collagen.

How it works: The micro dermal roller is comprised of fine, precise tiny needles that are rolled directly on the skin in a controlled motion creating micro-injuries on the skin. This in turn sends collagen and elastin production into overdrive to compensate as it heals, basically leaving your complexion tighter and plumper than it was beforehand.

This makes it an ideal method for filling in fine lines and wrinkles, thickening and plumping the skin under the eyes (thus diminishing the appearance of dark circles and bags), and even plumping lips! Micro-needling is also a very effective treatment for acne scars and discolouration since it penetrates the skin so deeply.

Bonus when used in conjunction with a VITAMIN C Serum or SKIN BRIGHT Whitening it boosts ingredient absorption up to 90%!

Here’s what you need to know before trying micro needling:

Micro needling is a safe, method that triggers new collagen production and regenerates skin cells. And if you don’t have any major concerns the least it can do is give skin a dewy and more youthful appearance. Who doesn’t want that?

Micro needling won’t hurt, may be prickly and tingling sensation during treatment. When home micro needling the needle size should be considered, using 0.3mm or lower. In general, micro needling can be painless however when the depth of the needle is more extreme for severe skin issues for example, consulting a professional is always recommended.

The at-home treatment is virtually pain-free and requires no topical numbing like surgical derma rollers used by salon professionals.

Believe it or not you can use your micro needling device on the body, too. At-home micro needling devices also come in larger sizes, which allows you to treat larger areas—like abdomen, thighs, legs, buttocks, hands, arms, neck and back—twice as fast as you would with a smaller roller head. And don’t forget the micro needling for thinning hair or loss, and those lips!

And finally, as with any at-home beauty gadget, micro needling devices are not foolproof. Below is a step-by-step tutorial on how to use your micro needling roller properly on your face or body. For best results, do this 2 or 3 times a week. Also remember that since skin on the body is thicker than the skin on your face, it may take more than a few sessions before you can see visible results on your body.

DO NOT use micro roller on active acne or pimples.

DO NOT share the roller with a friend.

 

Step 1: Before use, apply head band, thoroughly cleanse the skin. Make sure your roller is disinfected using isopropyl alcohol.

Step 2: Follow the steps above and LIFT the roller off the skin when changing the movement. Do not force the roller into the skin, simply mild pressure.

Step 3: Roll back and forth at the same intensity on the treatment area 5 to 8 times in each of the four directions: horizontally, vertically and diagonally.

Step 4: Following treatment, apply Vitamin C or Skin Bright Whitening Serum for maximum results and your skin will be plumped and have a youthful glow!

Recommend you rinse the roller in hot water or isopropyl alcohol.

Replace the roller every 3 months if using 3 times a week, like a needle on a sewing machine they become blunt.

As a baby our skin is plump, firm, smooth and rosy, thanks to all of that collagen in our dermis (middle layer of the skin) Our body stops producing collagen in our mid to late 20’s. Then at age 30 our collagen production starts to decline and that is when we start to see those fine lines and wrinkle on our skin.

After age 30, our collagen level drops 1%-2% every year. 

By age 40, we have lost 10%-20% of our collagen.

By 50, we are down 20%-40%.

By the time we hit 60 we need help!

Being part of the beauty profession for 37 years (OMG I am now 58 years young) I now specialise in Dermal Therapy Treatments, rebuilding the COLLAGEN with NON- INVASIVE beauty treatments.

Time to tidy up the lingerie draw? I did mine the other day, the old, worn, black & black undies are now gone in the bin. Time for a shopping trip to get new boy short panties with lace, and BRIGHT colours.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE COLOUR OF OUR PANTIES CAN change our mindset? True!

Panties.

Like the air we breathe and the water we drink, underwear is a part of life so ubiquitous that it often goes unnoticed. Don’t let another year pass being unsexy and wearing “Bridget Jones panties” every day— especially considering 99 percent of you are wearing them right now. And if not, good on you!

Colours influence our day from when we start getting dressed from our underwear to what we see when we look in the mirror. Have you discovered that when you are feeling down and tired you are drawn to wear the dark colours and that outfit we don’t like?  When a woman has her periods and feeling blue why do we always wear the frumpy outfit that makes us feel 10 times worst. This is when we add COLOUR to what we are wearing and even down to the underwear. What type of day do you want? Wear the colour to inspire you!

Let’s talk about the underwear! I can see you cringing as you read this. NO one sees my underwear so why worry about it! It is not WHO sees your underwear it is HOW it makes you feel when you wear that nice matching underwear when you are feeling so BLUE!

Panties come in all shapes and styles: G- strings, boy pants, high cut thigh, frilly, lace, lace trim, high wasted cheeky, hipsters, bikini and many more.

Let’s imagine you having date No 1, 2 or 3 with that hot man, and you are hoping TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT, tell me what underwear will you wear?

Come on be honest with me, you would wear the matching bra and panties or go out and buy new ones for the date.

We all know of the movie “Bridget Jones” and how she has the beige big girl panties on. Well that is OK they don’t have to be beige what about RED or YELLOW or PINK.

Ladies I feel it is time to start wearing sexy underwear every day.

Here is the challenge for the next 21 days every day wear that sexy under wear and also throw out that old and ugly robe, buy a sexy one in your favourite colour.

What style of Panties do you like?

Thongs: Flaunt revealing coverage in back and body-hugging fabrics for a smooth, line-free look that works great under form-fitting clothes.

Bikini: Narrow sides and a hip-level waistband give this panty a classic, universally flattering shape that’s essential for every wardrobe.

Hipster: An everyday favourite, this low-rise panty features wider sides for minimal to moderate coverage.

Brief: The classic comfort panty, briefs have a higher rise and provide excellent seat coverage.

Boy short: A cheeky take on fitted boxer shorts, these panties deliver a body-hugging fit with a longer leg for extra coverage under skirts and dresses.

High cut: This high-cut panty gives legs a long, lean look while also offering moderate to full coverage in back.

What is your favourite pantie to wear? Leave a comment below …….
