While we’re all working a little harder to keep our bodies in fighting form during the pandemic, it can be easy to neglect the other side of things, like taking a little ‘me time’, or doing the things that make you feel more confident and happy in your skin.

One of the obstacles to that endeavour is time – we’re all busy people – but thankfully, there are ways to insert a little self-love into your workday.

Skin Renewal has developed a range of in-house treatments that can treat a range of concerns like dryness, loss of firmness, and dullness, and all within your lunch break.

Better yet, you don’t have to endure any downtime post-treatment so nobody has to know why you’ve returned to work with glowing skin.

Here are their top three ‘Lunchtime Skin Savers’:

Dry Unhappy Skin

Perhaps you enjoyed one too many glasses of wine last night, or have gone a little crazy with products containing retinol or salicylic acid.

Either way, if you’re having a ‘dry skin day’, a HydraTouch facial is a pampering quick fix that could get you back to peak glow within an hour.

It starts with a hydra-dermabrasion session which involves a jet stream of deeply-hydrating hydrogenated water across your face leaving your skin feeling soft. Next, a very light peel infusion is performed to rid your skin of any lingering dry, dead cells. A transdermal mesotherapy device uses gentle electrical pulses to deliver an ultra-hydrating serum deep into your skin.

You’ll finish up with a hydrating facemask, and all within one hour.

Firming Facial

A loss of firmness is a natural part of the skin’s ageing process, but that doesn’t mean that you have to live with it.

A quick and painless procedure with zero downtime, the Exilis Elite treatment involves using a device to heat the deeper layers of your skin.

Many people describe it as feeling like a hot stone massage. The heat causes your existing collagen and elastin to instantly shrink and tighten. It also sparks a chain of events that cause fresh, new collagen to grow over a period of months.

This means instant gratification plus a long-term reward. It’s a great way to treat drooping brows, jowls, and even a lax-looking neck.

Illuminated Skin

Nobody is a fan of tired dull-looking skin, especially when it can be easily solved with a peel, and preferably, one that requires no downtime, like the Simildiet SD Ferulic peel.

It’s a low pH combination peel that uses a mix of gentle yet effective acids including ferulic, malic, citric, and lactic. It’s a great “all-rounder” that would benefit anyone dealing with fine lines, pigmentation, poor hydration, and a sluggish cellular turnover.
