Guinot Facial Review (c/o)
I have to admit, I’ve been a little skincare crazed lately, but can you blame me? I’m in my late twenties and it’s never too early to take care of your skin!
I had the pleasure of visiting Advanced Beauty Care in Burlingame for a Guinot facial and I have to be honest, I had NO idea who/what Guinot is. Sarah (the owner of the spa) was so kind to explain to me what makes Guinot so amazing.
It’s apparently VERY popular in France and she explained to me that French woman take skincare and facials very seriously. I’m talking monthly facials…it’s no wonder they look SO amazing! Not to mention, Sarah looked the bomb dot com too!
The experience itself was relaxing and quite different from the American facials (there were no extractions!). This facial featured dual ionization to attract and bring up the water molecules to the surface of the skin for a super hydrating effect.
What I found really useful were all the tidbits of information that Sarah provided:
1.) Your skin should renew every 28 days: An important fact to remember as you grow older, exfoliation is key! Without it, your skin may renew every 100 days, which results in dull skin.
2.) Monthly facials: Like I said, French women take their facials seriously and is probably a huge contributor to their beautiful skin.
3.) Up and out: Don’t help gravity pull down your skin! Massage your skin products up and out. The results may not be immediate, but you’ll see a difference in 10 to 20 years.
4.) Circular motions: Apply your eye cream with your ring finger and massage the cream around your eye in a circle.
5.) 5 years: As women, our hormones drastically change every 5 years (20, 25, 30). So as soon as another 5 year mark passes, rethink your skin care regimen.
Really interesting right?
Get your Parisian glow on by visiting Advanced Beauty Care in Burlingame if you’re based in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was nothing short of amazing.
