With warm weather upon us, it’s a reminder that the summer season is just around the corner. Below are Shawn Johnson’s, North America Education Manager, Ultraceuticals, favorite treatments and products for Summer.
What are your favorite face and body treatments for summer?
For face, I love the Ultraceuticals Brightening Accelerator Mask from the Professional Use Only range. After a single treatment, my skin is noticeably brighter and smoother. For my body, I’m obsessed with my latest at-home, self-care treatment. I start with a full-body dry brush. Next, I apply Ultra Gentle Exfoliating Gel over my dry skin to get a good exfoliation. Then, jump into the shower, rinse, pat dry and finish with a generous spritz of Ultra Hydrating Skin Mist and an application of Ultra Retexturizing Body Complex. My skin is left feeling silky smooth, and I feel sufficiently pampered!
What are your go to ingredients?
For me, summer skin means a “makeup-optional,” healthy, dewy, glowing complexion! For that, refined texture and plumping are key, so I rely on ingredients like Hydroxy Acids to smooth my skin’s texture and keep my pores clear, brightening/discoloration ingredients like niacinamide and tyrosinase inhibitors, and Hyaluronic Acid for a hydrated and dewy finish. Specifically, I alternate usage of Ultraceuticals’ Even Skintone Smoothing Serum with Ultra Brightening Serum, every other day, and use Ultra B2 Hydrating Serum daily. Of course, no summer regimen would be complete without a proper SPF, so Ultra UV Protective Mineral Defence SPF 50+ is a must.
Incorporating a holistic approach.
At Ultraceuticals, we take a high-touch approach to our clinical treatments which inherently offers an element of wellness and relaxation. We incorporate manual touch points and massage throughout, including our Ultra Treatment Welcome and Close. With so many technical, machine-based modalities at our disposal, incorporating an element of human touch has never been more important. A shoulder massage, warm neck wrap while performing acupressure, or even breathing exercises can significantly enhance the guest experience and add a welcomed personal touch.
What’s something that surprises clients about summer treatments?
That we peel in summer! When you formulate professional products for those living in one of the harshest climates in the world- Australia, you understand how to create treatments that are safe and effective year around. We excel at this, in part because of our 360* approach to working with our clients, and because of our rigorous focus on antioxidants and sun protection.
