• Homecare - Tissue Congestion

Tissue congestion is the excessive internal build up of waste materials that are being efficiently removed by the lymphatic system. This congestion is usually triggered by dehydration, medication, constipation, improper diet and sedentary lifestyle. The skin is nourished by the blood that carries lymph and oxygen to the cells and in turn pick up and flush away waste material. At times, there is more waste to be picked up than normal, when this happens the waste accumulates and can be seen and felt on the surface as bumps.

Tissue congestion is small bumps on the skin, but there is nothing to extract.

MASK. (Morning only) When you apply a mask, your body’s response is to produce fluids that come up and push the mask off. Whether your skin is oily or dry, this excess fluid hydrates the surface cell layers, which are normally less than 10% moisture. The suppler these layers are the healthier functioning the skin is. The fluids also put pressure on the pores to help purge clogged pores. When you scrub, you’ll not only be removing the mask, you will also be sloughing off dead skin cells which will help keep your pores clean and allow your skin to absorb treatment products. Apply to the face, neck and decollette for 5 - 15 minutes and remove using the recommended scrub.

HYDRATE. The skin’s internal moisturizing system contains oils (lipids) that hold water (moisture) between the skin cells. Both are needed to restore moisture and keep skin soft, flexible and firm. Without such a balance, the beauty of the skin is impaired. Within our duo-moisture system, the Gels replenish the skin with needed moisture (water) while the creams hold the moisture in. Each of our Gels and Creams are specifically formulated for each skin type, giving just the right balance to the skin. Apply 1-2 pumps to the face, neck and decollette.

MOISTURISE. Apply the recommended moisturiser. Moisturising locks moisture and any treatment products in to the skin increasing hydration levels and protecting the skins barrier. Apply to the face, neck and decollette and gently massage in to the skin.

PROTECT. (Morning Only) It is imperative that you use a good sunscreen every day to protect the skin from the irritating and ageing effects of UV rays. Apply a small amount of sunscreen to the face, neck and decollette on top of the moisturiser. FACT -50% of the UVA rays (Ageing rays) can penetrate through cloud, glass and clothing. This is why sunscreen is important all year round.
