As a Lover of all things beauty, I was very skeptical when approached by a colleague about trying out something very new! You may be very surprised that it was to have a free of charge skin consultation through Skype, in the comfort of your own home! Of course the usual questions went through my head – how is that possible, no way would it work, they won’t be able to tell what sort of skin I have and any associated problems/issues.
The process is to organize an appointment time, fill out a form with some very specific questions and yes, you have to take a picture of yourself and upload it.
On the day of my appointment I was excited to see how this might work as my colleague was raving about how her skin was greatly improved and of course we are all looking for the chance to stop the ravages of time, aren’t we?
My consultation was with Kate Bancroft, a registered Independent Subscriber, with a BSc in Health & Diploma in Rehabilitation, with a special interest in Cosmetic Dermatology and skin analysis. Kate is passionate about the best skin care technologies and remedies from around the world and has brought them under one roof at ‘Face the Future’. Kate has over 15 years experience of Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetics with extensive training to ensure that all Customers benefit with a first class treatment experience.
Kate is very confident and knowledgeable and immediately put me at my ease as she started discussing what they had found with my skin, apart from sun damage and dehydration there were several other bits that could be improved. Apart from improving your skin from the outside you also need to look at the inside!
It seems as we get older that using creams with emulsifiers actually doesn’t allow your skin to exfoliate naturally as it should, In effect you are causing a build up of dead skin each time you put a moisturizer on your face, so although your skin may feel soft, it is in fact building up toxins. (Amanda this may need a little correction!!). AS you get older you need products that assist with maintaining a youthful appearance and a tailor made regime to target your specific concerns.
I loved the consult and enjoyed chatting with Kate, who is full of all sorts of useful information about improving your skin to ensure that you get the best impartial advice to improve your skin for the longer term based on your individual needs. I was advised that all I required was a cleanser, an anti-oxidant for the day and evening and sunblock for the day, all year around.
I have now been using the products for about a month and was advised that it would take 12-18 weeks to see a complete transformation, but I have to say that my skin feels great – soft and I’ve even noticed that some of my lines have receded. If your fed up with high street brands and want to try something new then Face the Future is for you because apart from the consultation they have over 70 Cosmeceutical products online as well.
Face the future is dedicated to enhancing skin care for the long term for both men and women, using science based, individual programmes of care who are concerned about the effects of ageing.
