A couple of years ago I won a spa day in a
raffle. Most people would be thrilled
but I am afraid I was underwhelmed – I have never seen the point of having
things done which you could easily have at home …. and for a fraction of the
cost! Anyway I had a mud wrap which was
novel! I am sure many of you reading
this may have experienced this treatment - being covered in slime but it was
new to me. I was then wrapped in
“bacofoil “. The beauty therapist then
told me to relax for 20 minutes and enjoy.
She lit soothing candles around me and departed. As I lay there I wanted to laugh this seemed
so absurd and …….relax? I kept thinking
about things I needed to do and how much more productive I could be doing
something else. Anyway after showering I
must admit that my skin did feel smooth and silky.
My husband collected me and said I looked
as if I had flu! I am afraid I have
always been like this – even if we are on holiday on the beach I find it quite
difficult to switch off.
However this is not to say that I don’t
appreciate that some treatments are really beneficial. Not long after the mud experience a friend
recommended a laser rejuvenating facial
she had had which had certainly tightened up her face and she did look younger. So I thought I
would have a go. Certainly not cheap but
I found it did make a difference. The
face is thoroughly cleansed and then a lubricating lotion applied. The laser wand is then gently moved over the
face. You feel a slight pinging
sensation but certainly I didn’t find it uncomfortable. The session lasted an
hour and cost £100. It was recommended
that you have several sessions with approx. 4 weeks interval in between. I got the impression this is something that
probably has to continue longer term and even though very happy with the results
could not make such a financial commitment.
I subsequently found that there is a home
laser device which you can use at home.
I am again quite skeptical about the claims made with any product and so
did my own research. The comments and feedback I found were
really favourable . This laser
rejuvenating laser claimed to help with firming up the face, helping to
diminish fine lines and help with discoloration which sadly comes with
age. It is made by Tria and at £450 is
not cheap but when you consider the cost of beauty treatments it makes it seem
quite reasonable.
You can buy this direct from tria or from
other outlets such as Amazon and can probably find an offer if you try.
Here is the website:
My husband also uses it and has found it
has lightened his age spots – so everyone
happy J
This has worked for us but we all have
different experiences and reactions so you have to explore what works for you. By the way I also find I can use the laser while I am on the phone, reading a book, on my iPad - you know women and multi tasking !!
Has anyone else tried this or something similar and would like to share what they have experienced?
