The 20 year old me, (around the year 2000)
Oh the joy of a student loan! I spent some much time trawling the likes of Boots, SuperDrug and supermarket beauty counters (this is around year 2000, online shopping wasn't a thing then). I was just buying skin care and make-up that were on offer or recommended by the ladies at the counters. I ended up spending most of my student loan on just any products. My skin used to flair up and because I didn't have the knowledge I have now, I used to make my skin worst by using more products and makeup. I smoked a lot too. (I recently packed it in, Yay to me!) My main diet was cigarette, coffee and alcohol. I relied heavily on makeup because I didn't know how to fix it. I went to so many "Salon" to try and solve my problem. I didn't know what I should be looking for in a good salon.
The 40 year old me, present time
I am now sticking to one or two brand for my skin care and no more. I understand the important of having a facial, being a facialist myself. I feel make up, when used correctly can enhance our features. However, a lot of time, it's just being used as a veil to cover our skin! A 20 minutes facial lymphatic drainage can help improve skin brightness, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, reduces tension and anxiety, and lessens fatigue indicators. At InnerGlow, I make sure that that is included in almost all my facial.
Sadly, it is impossible to do the whole massage on my own face.
This is when I call on to other salons out there. Living in Burton-on-Trent has its own benefits. It is so conveniently located, I can be in city like, Derby, Lichfield and Birmingham within 40 minutes. Nearby town like Tamworth and Swadlincote in 15mins. I have learnt from the past and I do always make sure the treatment room is clean so there is no risk of cross contamination. Always make sure the place is conducted professionally and insured. I am very proud to say that my little home salon is fully insured.
