TOTAL BODY CONCEPT

Ultraceuticals is a world expert when it comes to skincare, so if you’re wanting to treat yourself to some firming treatment, make either the Ultra C23 or Ultra C10+ your first choice. Both are synthetic fragrant free and contain no parabens.

If you’re starting 2019 with a New Year, new you motto, then Ultraceuticals RVR90 is a sure way to keep you on track when it comes to looking after your skin.

Our skin consists of different layers; on the outer, the 'epidermis'; the complex inner layer the 'dermis' and finally the hypodermis. The skin's dermis contains the dermal matrix, which includes collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid that provide the skin with its structural framework and give skin elasticity. Ultraceuticals Vitamin C Range contains plenty of powerful goodies to help restore your skin to its strength and smoothness.

We all need vitamin D, no doubt about it. It spurs bone growth, and without it we’d be at high risk of conditions such as osteoporosis, and weakened immune systems. Yet spending too much time in harsh NZ sun trying to ‘top up’ your Vitamin D levels may in fact be the cause of other types of damage, in particular to your skin.

(IPL – Intense Pulsed Light) laser treatments might sound like a bit of a mouthful, but in reality they are a brilliantly easy treatment to receive. Our clients who have come in with hyperpigmentation have seen amazing results thanks to IPL, and they can’t recommend it enough!

Just because your holiday might be over doesn’t mean your skin care regime needs to stop. Make sure to keep up your skin protection with a sunscreen applied daily - we recommend Thalgo MCeutic Sunscreen SPF 50+ for an expert coverage. Non-comedogenic* sunscreen with SPF 50+, enriched with a patented natural marine filter to provide the skin with invisible and optimal protection.

Even though you may have slipped, slopped, slapped and wrapped to shield your beautiful skin from the scorching summer sun, we know that New Zealand sun can still catch us out with a bit of sneaky sunburn. If you got a little scorched over the holiday period, here’s our top tips on how to heal sunburn quickly and gently.

If you’re feeling a little hot and bothered after all this heat and sun, our soothing face masks are here to help you feel refreshed once more.

The first intensive treatment with Cold Cream Marine, this moisturiser lastingly and effectively soothes, nourishes and repairs dry and sensitive skin. Perfect for applying after those long hot days in the sun when your skin will be crying out for some soothing treatment.

If you’ve got more holiday trips planned, you’re likely going to have to switch up your skin care regime. We asked the team at Total Body Concept what basics they pack in their bath bags when they head away on holiday, because who knows better than an experienced skin care technician right? Here’s what they said.
