Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve probably heard of HydraFacial. It’s the non-invasive high-tech facial treatment that had taken the beauty world by storm, even celebs like JLo are big fans. So much so that she’s teamed up with this skin perfecting tech company and created a super serum that can be used as a booster to compliment the Deluxe and Platinum facial protocols (sorry if you opt for the Signature treatment the booster step doesn’t apply).To discover everything you need to know about HydraFacial click here and for more on how JLo is set to rejuvenate the complexions of thousands read on…
How does JLo look so good in her 50s, well she attributes her radiant youthful complexion to SPF and olive oil. Not as unbelievable as one might think, as sunscreen is the best protection against premature ageing caused by the skins number one ager – the sun. While olive oil is bursting with antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory properties, protects the skin barrier, and draws moisture in. Together, with JLo’s healthy lifestyle (she doesn’t drink and works out regularly) and you may well have the recipe for flawless skin. That and regular Hydrafacials (and a host of other treatments we’re sure) too.
No doubt JLo uses her skin enhancing super serum formula at every appointment. Olive takes centre stage within the formula, as the booster boasts an abundance of olive leaf extract. Harvested in Spain, the olive leaf is rich in polyphenols for potent antioxidant protection from free radical damage.
Other actives in the mix are niacinamide which tightens pores, smooths the skin, hydrates, strengthens and adds radiance. Fermented adaptogens - snow mushrooms, beetroot, and tiger grass strengthen and restore the skin resulting in a dewy fresh glow, which is taken up a notch by ingredients like rice bran extract, polyglutamic acid, and hyaluronic acid that work together to improve skin’s hydration, suppleness, and plumpness.
Pushed into the skin with the HydraFacial’s magic wand which has a suction setting to remove oil, and impurities from the skin (think, blackheads and congestion) as well as push actives deeper within the dermis.
A course of treatments is recommended so you can work up to stronger exfoliating acid percentages and wand tips (each colour represents a level of exfoliation intensity) and get the best results.
