How should I advise clients when it comes to caring for their skin overnight?
Our experts answer an array of questions about every aspect of running a successful salon or spa business
Dr Mania El Baba has over 25 years of experience in dermatology management, aesthetic medicine, cosmotlogy, anti-ageing plans and skincare. Dr Mania is the founder of Specialized Beauty which distribute Reviderm in the UAE and is also the owner of a beauty salon and clinic in Abu Dhabi.
My advice is to clean the face with a gentle milk and tone with a thermal tonic, making sure no make-up residue stays on the skin.
This also helps the skin to absorb the product that will be used afterwards, benefiting from all its active ingredients throughout the night.
Start by choosing the right eye contour depending on your eye condition. I always advise my clients to use a Vitamin C based eye contour cream for tired and dark circles, or a gel based eye contour that contains
liposomes, glycosome and hyaluronic acid for puffy and dry skin. Tap the product around the eye contour in a gentle, circular motion.
Apply an anti-ageing serum on your face before your night cream.
The serum should be chosen depending on what your skin needs and its condition and the formula should contain active ingredients such as:
• Hyaluronic acid for dry skin
• (ECM) Extra Cellular Matrix for thin and damaged skin barrier
• (EGF) Epidermal Growth Factor for tired and mature skin
• Vitamin C for dull discolored skin in need of firming
Always finish up with the application of a night cream rich in peptides for mature skin or moisturising hyaluronic based creams for dry and young skin.
Don’t forget your neck and décolleté since the first sign of ageing skin appears on this area. Make sure to choose the right neck and décolleté cream.
