Dry or Oily Skin: CosMedix has the Solution
Because we take a holistic approach to skincare at Grove Beauty Clinic, we only offer products from brands which carry the same ethos as our business. CosMedix aims to tackle the root cause of skin problems through all of their treatments, rather than supplying cover-up measures. Whether you are plagued by dry or excessively oily skin, we’ve got a product to help.
Skin Problems – The Causes
For some people, the production of natural oils within the skin can become a problem, as overactive sebaceous glands (the glands which naturally condition the skin) can trigger shiny, glistening skin. This can lead to clogged pores which can cause an excess of blemishes, and a greasy appearance of the face or body. Oily skin can be caused by excessive use of harsh, chemical-based skin products which contain alcohol and benzoyl peroxide. These are designed to dehydrate the skin, prompting excessive oil production.
Dry skin on the other hand can produce a dull, rough looking appearance of the hands or face with peeling or flaking. In extreme circumstances, the skin can crack, causing bleeding and scabs to appear. Dry skin can be caused by stress which strips the skin of nutrients and causes epidermal water loss. Additionally, chemical-based skin care products can cause excessive dehydration and exacerbate the problem.
CosMedix Products – The Difference
While many skin treatments can contain ingredients which are actually more harmful to the face and body, CosMedix offers natural, detoxifying products for healthy solutions to the problem areas.
For sufferers of oily skin, products such as Purity Balance and Purity Clean can target impurities and unclog pores of excess oil. After this, reparative treatments such as the Clarity serum and Rescue balm and mask can control skin which is prone to blemishes and accelerate recovery. Reflect natural sunscreen provides protection for the skin at SPF 30, while the Balance and Clarity supplements offer ways to improve the skin through dietary care. All CosMedix treatments for oily skin are designed to eliminate toxins and target the problem glands.
For dry skin, Benefit Clean cleanser can be provided to gently soothe the damaged skin. After this, a variety of treatments are available for multiple concerns, including the Affirm anti-oxidant serum for skin which has been damaged by sunlight and the Cell ID defence serum for skin which appears prematurely aged. Ongoing care can also be provided through the Balance and Restore dietary supplements.
All CosMedix products are made with chirally correct ingredients, avoiding laboratory-created substances which are potentially harmful. This also means that the ingredients are “body-friendly”, and designed to naturally link up with your body’s own molecules to provide lasting results.
Our skilled beauty therapists are committed to providing your skin with top quality care. After your initial consultation, you will be provided with the treatments ideally suited to repair and protect your face and body. Call us today or drop into the clinic to book your consultation.
