Want to take your skin and regimen up a level? NEWBY HANDS asks tops facialists JOANNA CZECH, MELANIE GRANT and ANGELA CAGLIA to share the easy, expert skin secrets they swear by
Chill your face mist…
“During summer, I keep my facial mists in the fridge to enhance their soothing and cooling properties. It also makes for a beautiful skin pick-me-up after a day at the beach, and really enlivens skin, and spirits, without resorting to a sugar hit during that 3pm slump on a workday.”
The sweet treat for sensitive skin…
“I often apply a thin layer of raw honey, preferably Manuka honey, as a face mask after cleansing to calm and balance my sensitive skin. It’s incredibly healing and strengthening, as well as being anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory – and it’s just as beneficial for blemish-prone skin as it is for those of us who are red or sensitized.”
Customize your mask…
“It’s very rare that our skin is completely unified, and often we’re dealing with dullness, sensitivity and dehydration all at the same time. So, to get the most out of your home facial, I like to mix two or three products together and apply them directly to skin. My favourite combination is to blend a hydrating gel mask with a lifting and toning cream for a plumping, firming treatment that requires no heavy lifting on my part.”
The right time to massage…
“Most of us give our face and neck a little massage when we apply our moisturizers, but a great opportunity in our regimen to really get in and flush stagnant lymph, and lift, tone and detoxify with massage is when your cleanse. I use a gentle milk formula or nourishing cleansing balm for this so there’s enough ‘slip’ to really work into the contours of the face using upward and outward motions.”
