What makes our facials so special ?
We pride ourselves on being experts in our field, and between us we have a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Those of you who have had facials for a long time will have witnessed many changes in the industry as have we. With new knowledge comes new innovations and better protocols. We have changed how we work from old school cleanse, tone and moisturise to facial scrubs are not recommended as they once were! They are now deemed to leave microscopic scratches on the skin which we didn’t seem too bothered about in the old Avon or Clinique days. But we cannot ignore the new information and so things have now changed. We used to offer microdermabrasion which is now a definite ‘no’ from us as we believe it to go against the main philosophy Nimue.
There will always be a latest fad or trend that celebrities are endorsing but its not necessarily the best option for everyone. We can offer advice without the confusion.
We did our beauty therapy training at college for 3 years which is on a level similar to what nurses study on anatomy and physiology of the skin and body systems. We then developed our speciality of skin by expanding our expertise further.
We have done extensive training with many of the big brands including: Elemis, Clarins, Dermalogica, Carita, Decleor, E’spa, Natural Spa Factory and most recently Nimue skin technology.
These brands all have their own unique ways of cleansing and massaging the face. So as you can imagine there are so many massage moves to learn and remember that they stay with you for a long time.
We have taken all the best bits from our knowledge and created what we believe to be the best facials ever. Incorporating all the fluffy bits that make the facial relaxing : essential oils, Gua Sha stones, scalp massage and hot towels.
Plus you get results driven Skincare that delivers all you need to get your skin in the best condition from the inside out. This is clever stuff, it treats the cause not just the symptom of a skin complaint and sorts it all out.
Nimue uses ‘AHA’ (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) and ‘BHA’ (Beta Hydroxy Acid) Technology along with Fruit Enzymes to gently rejuvenate the skin with minimal irritation and maximum penetration of active ingredients.
This means the active ingredients don’t hang around too long on the surface of the skin causing irritation. Instead it gets sent deeper down into the cellular layers where it can work its magic and help the skin function more efficiently. This unique technology can help repair the barrier if it has been damaged which in turn will help everything else work better.
An expert salon facial will get your skin on the right track accompanied by a good homecare routine. You can achieve fantastic results in a just a few months.
