Facts about microneedling

Thousands of customer reviews have surfaced about the wonders of microneedling. From stopping the signs of premature skin aging to diminishing blemishes such as hyperpigmentation, scars, and stretch marks, this skin rejuvenation procedure seems to do it all and more. But what is microneedling? If you want to know the facts about microneedling, It’s best to continue reading this article.

Microneedling - What is it really?

Microneedling or collagen induction therapy is a skin rejuvenation procedure that makes use of microscopic needles to create micro injuries on the skin. The main aim of microneedling is to stimulate the skin cells to produce collagen and elastin- crucial protein connective tissues that keep the skin smooth, firm, and blemish-free. Microneedling is mainly implemented on the face region but may also be used in various parts that have scars, stretch marks, and enlarged pores.

Is Microneedling Safe?

Unlike traditional skin rejuvenation treatments, microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure. The micro injuries on the skin heal quickly, hence there is minimal risk for infection provided the necessary hygiene measures are followed to the letter.

One major selling point of microneedling is that it requires minimal to zero downtime. Patients can resume to their regular routine as well as skincare regimen 24 to 47 hours after a microneedling session.

For Dermapen microneedling treatment, patients have the option of using post-care products that enhance the effects of microneedling on the skin. Dp Deramceuticals is a collection of skin care products that support the effects of microneedling as well as nourish the skin of vitamins and minerals and assist with eliminating any redness or discomfort and hasten the visible repair.

Microneedling is safe and effective procedure, suitable for all skin colours, healthy individuals can try with minimal to zero side effects. Individuals who are contraindicated to undergo microneedling are pregnant women (if using a topical local anaesthetic) and those who are using certain acne medications.

Minor side effects have been reported after microneedling session. Minor redness and irritation may occur after the procedure, but only last for a few hours.

Boost your dermapen microneedling treatment with an UBER PRO professional strength peel, containing a specific blend of botanical treatment actives. 

Dp Dermaceuticals ÜBER Pro Peel is exclusively designed to enhance microneedling procedures.  ÜBER PRO peel offers advanced results that increase cellular turnover whilst further addressing  fine lines and wrinkles, acne, scar revision, sun damage and hyper-pigmentation.

Containing mandelic, lactic, pyruvic, ferulic and kojic acids, the peel-mulsionTM formula is fortified with potent retinaldehyde, copper peptides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid and is suitable for post-needling application for optimal results.

We need to LOVE washing off makeup at night

No matter how many times you’ve been told to wash off all your makeup before bed, sometimes you just can’t seem to make it happen... We’ve all been there before. Even as a professional skin therapist, I admit I am fully guilty of having slept with a full face of makeup. And waking up the next morning to a huge zit on the side of my face (NEVER AGAIN) has forced me to realize how crucial it is to make sure it all gets properly cleansed off. Let’s talk about the icky stuff that happens to your skin when you nix removing your makeup before bedtime! 

key things to remember about leaving your makeup on:  

1. Your Pores Will Become Clogged and You Will Breakout

2. Your Complexion Will Appear Dull

3. Your Skin Will Look Older

4. Your Skin Will Look and Feel Dry

5. Your Skin Will Become Irritated

6. You Risk Eye Infection

1: your pores will become clogged and you will breakout 

During the day, your makeup acts like a magnet holding onto pollution, oils, dirt, and dead skin. Leaving all that on your face overnight is like an open invitation for bacteria, clogged pores, breakouts, and  blackheads.  Even if you’re someone who wears non-comedogenic makeup (we love a good comedogenic foundation), it can still clog your pores and cause acne if left on the skin overnight. If large pores are a concern of yours, sleeping in makeup certainly won’t help! Dirt/makeup left in the pores will make them more noticeable and appear instantly larger.  

2:  your complexion will appear dull 

Sleeping in makeup interferes with the natural shedding or exfoliation process of the skin. All that dirt and debris trap dead skin cells on the surface overnight, leaving skin rough, dull, and lackluster. And that can oftentimes then lead us to putting on even more makeup the next day to get that glow back with some extra bronzer or contouring. Always aim to break that cycle! 

3: your skin will look older  

At night our skin goes through a natural recovery process, working to repair itself from any damage experienced throughout the day. Not taking your makeup off will age you because makeup mixed with dirt and pollution that builds on the skin can hinder its ability to successfully renew itself at night. And this is what can causing premature aging. It can also lead to a breakdown of collagen in the skin. And when collagen is not being produced properly, your skin looses firmness and may begin aging faster than it’s supposed to.   

4:  your skin will look and feel dry 

Leftover makeup residue can prevent the absorption of skincare products by creating a barrier between your skin and any products you are putting on top of it. So that means not properly removing all your makeup prevents any beneficial ingredients in your nightly routine from penetrating the skin's surface. No one wants to waste a drop of their holy grail moisturizer they may have majorly splurged on, so always make sure your makeup is thoroughly gone before you move on to the next step of any skincare routine. 

5: your skin will become irritated

Makeup often contains ingredients that irritate the skin like dyes and perfumes. When left on the skin for long periods of time, these irritants can cause inflammation, irritation and redness. And again, that can sometimes lead to applying even more makeup the next day to cover it up.   

6: you risk eye infections 

Leaving your eye makeup on overnight can lead to eye infection and irritation. Just as bad, a stye can form from mascara clogging glands connected to your eyelashes. Your eyelids are extremely thin and sensitive, so make sure to treat them with care.

The bottom line is removing your makeup is very important. Even if you're super tired, wash your face before heading to bed — your skin will definitely thank you later. By establishing a proper cleansing routine, you will set yourself up for a fresh, supple, and smooth canvas for your makeup masterpieces into the future. If you are someone who loves a full face of makeup, double cleansing scores you a much better clean. You would be surprised at what's left on your skin even after a single cleanse... Starting off with an oil-based cleanser such as the Dermalogica Precleanse that will dissolve and melt away any trace of makeup is a great first step to a proper clean and makeup removal. Follow that up with a gentle cleanser appropriate for your skin type, and you're good to go. Our favorite is our Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash, which is great for all skin types, even dry skin. This face wash gently washes away dirt, excess oils, and dead skin cells which cause breakouts. Don't forget to moisturize afterwards and be sure to avoid over-cleansing! Washing your skin morning and night is the perfect amount, and adding a double cleanse to your skin care routine will help keep your skin clean. If your skin is having severe reactions to makeup, even with a proper cleanse, we recommend seeking out a dermatologist and getting professional advice. 

So the next time you're feeling too lazy to wash your face before bed, think twice! 

Does skin microneedling suit me?

Microneedling has a huge following in recent years. With the release of more sophisticated skin pens such as Dermapen you have to experience the most effective skin rejuvenation procedure on the market today.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a skin rejuvenation procedure that involves puncturing the skin to stimulate collagen production. It involves the use of a microneedling device, a tool that creates micro injuries on the skin which then induces the skin’s natural healing process.

White blood cells, connective tissues, collagen, and elastin populate the micro injuries created to reveal soft, smooth, and flawless skin.

What skin issues do microneedling solve?

One of the major benefits of microneedling is that it addresses a myriad of skin problems for both men and women. Here are the common indications for microneedling:

• Improves the texture and overall appearance of the skin

• Reduction in the volume of blackheads appearing on the skin

• Reduce pore size resulting in smoother skin

• Helps in stopping acne and cystic acne progression

• Exfoliates skin thoroughly

• Slows down the signs of skin aging as evidenced by reduced fine lines and wrinkles

• Diminishes the appearance of scars and stretch marks

How soon do skin benefits appear on the skin?

You will notice an improvement on the appearance and texture of the skin after one session. The long-term benefits however become noticeable 8 to 12 weeks after your initial procedure. For best results, one must undergo microneedling every 6 to 8 weeks. Period in between allows for the skin to heal properly and for new skin cells to fill in the micro injuries created by the skin pen device.

Introducing a new spray tan to Sass Beauty Centre

I have been a spray tan connoisseur (addict) for the past 10 years or so and have jumped at the chance to try every tan that I can, you wouldn’t think it as I have a naturally olive skin tone, but yes, I honestly feel a lot brighter with a spray tan, it seems to even my skin tone out and for some reason, I feel healthier minus the sun exposure, anyway, over the years I noticed some differences between brands, such as longevity, how a tan wears off, whether it becomes patchy or not, the base colour, how the bronzer settles on certain skin tones - whether it’s super green or violet, sometimes certain tans don’t sit well with certain skin tones, some of them can smell unpleasant (as my husband pointed out once lol) some can make you look green instantly rather than a bronzed babe straight up, and some can make you well, worst case scenario, everything we don’t want to be… orange, eek.

I love many tans, but was so excited to find this tan - Sunescape :) Born in Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach, Sunescape is an award-winning Australian-made and owned sunless tanning range that delivers natural-looking colour with a delicious tropical scent.

Filled to the brim with skin-loving vitamins, antioxidants and hydrating oils, the formulas enrich the skin while giving a tan that looks and feels natural. They have also included anti-aging, hydrating and skin firming ingredients that leave skin smoother and more replenished than any other tan can! They use certified natural DHA derived from beetroot and rapa seed, and all of their products are free from parabens, petrochemicals, sulphates and other common nasties.

INGREDIENTS:

There’s nothing like that post-tan bronzed glow. Especially when that glow not only looks completely natural but nourishes and protects your skin without any harmful side effects.

While your tan should provide a gorgeous natural-looking glow to skin, its beauty runs deeper than the rich tanning shades it provides. Now, it is just as important to know what’s IN your tanning formula as it is to know what has been purposefully left out.

Ingredient listings are often skimmed over but can be the most important part of your tan, how long it lasts and the effect it has on your skin over time. Sunescape’s formula enriches the skin with anti-ageing vitamins, hydrating oils and skin-firming ingredients, for a tan that is as healthy as it is flawless.

Here are the key ingredients which Sunescape tan contains:

Aloe Vera. Renowned for its moisturising effect, aloe vera delivers hydration straight to the skin tissue. It also provides a soothing and calming effect, reducing skin irritation.

Kakadu Plum. A small fruit native to Australia, Kakadu plum contains the highest known levels of vitamin C concentration of any food source and helps to boost collagen in the skin. It also improves the natural appearance of firmer, nourished skin.

Green Tea. Holds the ability to aid skin rejuvenation, and helps to heal ageing skin, sun damage and fine lines. Potent antioxidants alleviate dry skin, and help neutralise harmful free radicals.

Avocado Oil. Recognised for its moisturising properties, avocado oil leaves dry skin feeling smooth and nourished. It also promotes skin repair by rapidly transporting active substances to where they’re needed most.

Macadamia Seed Oil. Rich in fatty acids, this nourishing oil leaves skin feeling soft and silky. It can also help regenerate damage from scarring or the sun.

Kiwi Seed Oil. One of the richest sources of essential fatty acids, kiwi seed oil deeply nourishes and helps to restore elasticity to aged and damaged skin.

Coconut Oil. Soothes and softens the skin, while protecting it against free radical damage. Coconut oil also promotes elasticity in the skin and works as an incredible anti-bacterial agent.

Grape Seed Extract. The powerful antioxidants in grape seed extract help to protect and enhance the skin’s appearance. It is also non-comedogenic and can assist in tightening skin through the restoration of collagen.

The key ingredients you need to AVOID:

Brown HT. This synthetic petroleum-derived brown colouring dye has been banned in the USA, Canada, Japan and major European countries like France and Germany for its potentially dangerous health risks. Brown HT can induce hypersensitivity, eczema, dermatitis, itching and rashes, can cause bad reactions in those allergic to aspirin, leading to asthma and has been linked to some cancers.

DMDM Hydratoin & Imidazolindinyl Urea. These common formaldehyde releasers break down to form toxic carcinogen, formaldehyde, and act as a preservative in tan to hold product formulas together. Even low levels of formaldehyde are a major health concern, and are known to cause weakened immune systems, respiratory problems, cracked and blistered skin, and even cancer when ingested or absorbed through the skin.

Sunescape Tan is your ticket to that post-holiday glow. With an aloe-based formula, containing natural ingredients to nourish skin as well as anti-ageing and firming properties to promote and preserve healthy, ultra-smooth skin, a Sunescape spray tan is the key to a natural glow without the harm.

I am so excited to introduce this new brand to Sass Beauty Centre, so excited that I am offering a special on Sunescape tans for this month, please see our ‘specials’ page on our website. Please know, I am all about sourcing and providing the healthiest and best products available for you and am always searching.

Brighten & Firm with Dermalogica's BioLumin C

Vitamin C is so much more than just an oral supplement you were forced to take when you got a cold. In fact, it’s a huge factor in collagen production which is the main ingredient of new skin cells.

If you want your skin to constantly refresh and repair itself, you need your Vitamin C (guess your mum was right after all!). Skincare brands have been catching on and creating fantastic beauty products infused with Vitamin C, and our skin gets to reap the benefits. But not all skincare products are made equal.

Dermalogica’s Biolumin-C serum delivers 3 x more vitamin C into the skin than leading competitors. A high performance vitamin C serum that works with the skins own defenses to brighten and firm.

Our daily dose of UV and pollution leaves it mark on our skin. Over time, our environment, coupled with our fast-paced lifestyles, equate to a dull, devitalised and older looking skin. It’s no secret that Vitamin C is the go to ingredient for slowing down these effects and firming and brightening the skin. Plus, it’s an antioxidant so it protects from the daily triggers in our environment that speed up the ageing process, an important fact to know about this skincare powerhouse.

Wrinkles, stretch marks, sun damage, inflammation, acne scarring, and dry skin are just a few of the skin problems that Vitamin C serums can help with, but the confidence you’ll gain from fresh, healthy skin? The gift that keeps on giving.

Come on in to Sass Beauty Centre where you can try Dermalogica’s BioLumin C serum, and also the BioLumin C eye serum - you’ll love them as much as we do!

Learning more at Sass Beauty

It has been a great introduction into Dermalogica, an insight as to who they are as a company and what they stand for. They have a strong belief in skin health, real ingredients and real results. I have been learning each product from their extensive range in depth, such as their ingredients, their purpose and their benefits which helps me decide which products will be best for you and your skin’s needs and to give you the best results.  I am now Certified and am aiming to achieve the next tier – Dermalogica Specialist, then the next and highest tier again – Dermalogica Expert. I have definitely found a few new favourite products to add to my own collection, like the beautiful brightening and hydrating Biolumin C eye serum and our soft, calming and hydrating Sound Sleep Cocoon night cream.

 This amazing journey has also thought me about Dermalogica’s range of advanced in depth facials. Such as their ProSkin 30 facial, ProSkin 60 facial and Dermalogica’s amazing Pro Power Peels. Each of these facials can be tailored to your skin’s specific needs to get the best results possible.

Dermalogica Pro Power Peel

What is it?

Chemical peels are one of the most popular professional skin care services today because they can improve the quality, texture and colour of the skin. Often times people can be sceptical and almost afraid to have the treatment done as they are concerned of side effects known to be associated with a peel treatment, such as inflammation, discoloration and scarring. With Pro Power Peel, you can get the same powerful results without the associated risks or downtime. In fact, your skin will look and feel healthier than ever!

 Whats the downtime?

Peels deliver AMAZING results and can transform your complexion no matter what your skincare concern. This treatment requires literally no down time meaning that you can continue with your day as normal. Dermalogica as a skincare brand stands on the core value of promoting skin health, so when they designed this peel, they designed it to work with the skin’s chemistry, not against it. There is literally no down time with this peel. Dermalogica opted to create a peel that can be carried out on a more frequent basis as opposed to pushing the skins natural chemistry to the point of severe inflammation and other side effect often times associated with other facial treatments out there. It literally redefines the ‘peel’ experience.

What are the options?

As trained skin therapists we will analyse your skin and choose from the following as which is the most suitable peel at your appointment

• UltraBright Peel: An ultra-effective brightening peel that targets the appearance of early signs of ageing with 30% Lactic Acid.

• Advanced Renewal Peel: A powerful 30% Glycolic Acid peel that resurfaces skin to help minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Power Clear Peel: A dynamic multi-acid complex featuring 2% Salicylic Acid with 10% Mandelic Acid, 15% Malic Acid and a patented Terpineol-Thymol Complex to target blemishes and the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

How do I prep my skin?

Before The treatment:

Because the Pro Power Peel is packed full of highly active ingredients it is important that you are not pregnant or breastfeeding and have not done the following:

• Used Retin-A in the last 48 hours

• Exfoliated within the last 48 hours

• Waxed within the last 72 hours.

• Had any skin resurfacing treatments including: laser, IPL, light therapy, microdermabrasion or chemical peels in the last Two Weeks

• Received Botox or other injectables in the past week.

What skin concerns will the Pro Power Peel address?

This powerful peel smooths skin while targeting individual skin concerns for a completely customised experience, the Pro Power Peel can treat a multitude of concerns such as hyperpigmentation, breakout, anti aging, dull skin, and all over general skin health, we can target separate concerns in one visit.

Each of the peels in the Pro Power Peel collection is efficacious enough to use alone. However, when used together, they allow our Sass Beauty Centre skin therapists to create custom treatments that target a broad range of skin concerns.

What post treatment care do I need to follow at home?
Immediately after your Pro Power Peel treatment, your skin may appear red and flushed. As your skin goes through the renewal process, it is normal to experience dryness, redness and tightness, as well as some peeling or flaking within a week. You may also notice a more pronounced appearance of pigmentation as it rises to the skin’s surface. These side effects will subside quickly with proper post-treatment care. The post treatment care will be explained in detail and are to be followed for effective results. Clients typically notice dramatically improved skin quality, texture and tone within three treatments. Ideally, a series of three to six treatments are suggested depending on the skincare target and goal. They are typically performed fortnightly for maximum result.

What is your October offer Sass Beauty Centre?

THE ORIGINAL CLEAN MAKEUP | THE FOUNDATION OF BEAUTIFUL SKIN

Formulated with clean ingredients that are gentle enough for use on even the most sensitive skin, Youngblood Mineral Makeup provides healthy, flawless coverage that nourishes the skin without clogging pores or causing irritation.

Founded over 20 years ago by former medical beauty therapist Pauline Youngblood, Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics was originally formulated in a medical setting for patients recovering from harsh medical procedures such as laser, chemical peels, skin needling, surgeries, and cancer treatments.

Knowing first-hand how reactive, sensitive and delicate the skin can be after cosmetic and medical procedures, Pauline sought to create a soothing, breathable foundation that would provide flawless coverage whilst encouraging the skin to heal.

Formulated with ultra-refined natural minerals of the highest quality and without common irritants like preservatives and fillers, Pauline’s patients loved the formula so much that they continued using it long after their skin had healed and urged her to make it commercially available.

Today, Youngblood Mineral Makeup offers a full range of clean, lightweight mineral makeup that wears beautifully on every skin type and offers natural, luxurious coverage that’s good for your skin. Youngblood formulas gently but effectively conceal skin concerns like rosacea, acne, eczema, pigmentation and more – dramatically improving the appearance of the skin while allowing it to breathe and function normally.

Thanks to its clean, skin-loving formula and natural, buildable coverage, for almost 25 years Youngblood has been the clear choice for makeup artists and beauty therapists around the world, as well as health-conscious individuals who want healthy, high-performance makeup that nourishes the skin and gives flawless, long-lasting coverage.

Youngblood is the crucial final step has been operating in Australia for over 20 years as a family-run Australian business.

Tips to prepare for the perfect spray tan

If you follow these guidelines, you’ll be flaunting your sunless summery glow for days. On average, a spray tan can last up to 10 days depending on how well you maintain it, but you can increase the life of your new glow by touching it up with a great gradual tan which we stock for $35.

If you live in the following areas then we are the spray tanning salon for you… Ferny Grove, Ferny Hills, Everton Hills, Grovely, Bunya, Keperra, McDowell, The Gap, Mitchelton, Arana Hills, Upper Kedron, Samford, Gaythorne, Stafford, Stafford Heights or Enoggera

1. Scrub scrub scrub! Ensure you have exfoliated all of your body at least 8 hours prior to your spray tan appointment, focussing on areas where dead skin collects, such as elbows, knees, underarms, when the spray tanning solution is sprayed over dead skin it can look patchy and darker, so to avoid this, exfoliate with an exfoliating mitt one night prior to your spray tan appointment.

2. Avoid using oil and lotion before your spray tan. It’s important to keep your skin hydrated, but don’t use oil or lotion on the day of your appointment. It will interfere with the spray tan development, we can apply a non-oil-based moisturizer to dry problem areas like the hands, elbows, knees and wrists.

3. Along with avoiding oil and lotion, you should remove all makeup, deodorant and perfume with a cleansing wipe just before the spray, your skin should be free from any products that could interfere with the spray tan.

4. Bring something dark and loose to wear after you have been sprayed with our tanning solution, after getting a spray tan, some of the color may rub off onto your clothes. To avoid that issue, wear dark, loose clothes to your appointment. If you feel comfortable, skip your bra and go commando. The looser, the better.

5. Don’t shave or wax on the day of your session, do this 24 hours or before your appointment, This allows time for the skin to calm, ensuring a flawless and comfortable spray tan. If you shave or wax too close to your scheduled session, the spray tan may seep into your pores and produce dark dots. It can also irritate your skin, especially if it's sensitive.

6. Shower: You should always keep your skin sweat-free before a spray tan. If you work out before your tan, I recommend showering and washing your face as sweat can sit on the skin and therefore stop the tan from absorbing evenly. In fact, the optimal time to tan is right after a shower, as your skin cells are hydrated and will absorb the tan more evenly for a longer lasting color.
