LETTER FROM CEO Dear iBLOOM reader, Our winter edition is jam-packed again with the best skin care, beauty and wellness solutions, but this edition gives me tremendous joy, as we are launching the INNOXA vegan skin care range to you, our special readers, for the very first time. INNOXA is a 100-year-old and well-known skin care brand based on the principles of “FIRST DO NO HARM” and “Beauty without Cruelty”.

The new range has been beautifully upgraded with a fresh, new look and is full of sustainably sourced ingredients. It’s the perfect skin care solution for teenagers, young professionals, and anyone looking for a skin care routine based on kindness, using effective eco-friendly, vegan skin care products.

On a personal note, I love to read and listen to audio books and learn new skills. I recently read about Admiral Joe Fowler, a naval architect, who was ready to retire at the age of 54 after World War II. Walt Disney invited him to design and construct his famous Disneyland family theme park. I must add here, that travelling to Disney Paris in 2012 was one of my best family holidays ever! Admiral Joe Fowler carried on with his work until the incredible age of 87, successfully completing many Disneyland theme parks. He was famous for responding to Disney’s most outrageous demands with the words “Can do!”

I was reminded that this “Can do” attitude is one that we should all adopt and not just in our workplace. In our very short, but bitterly cold winter in Africa, it is easy for us to look away, when we are comfortable in our own homes. This winter, let’s step up to help alleviate hardship and reach out to the ones in need with a much-needed food parcel, warm clothes, or a blanket. Together, may we be the change in our own communities with a “Can do” attitude!

Thank you for choosing and trusting us with your personal journey into complete and holistic skin, beauty, and wellness!!

Beautiful regards, Wrap up warm and enjoy this beautiful edition of the iBLOOM magazine. Please email ibloom@ibloombeauty.co.za by 20th August, and tell us which one of our articles or products inspired and delighted you. One lucky reader stands a chance to win!

ESNA COLYN CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

WINTER’S CHARM "Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is time for home." ~Edith Sitwell In South Africa, unlike many other countries, we are blessed with short winters along with plenty of days of sunshine. We embrace winter as the time to dig out our favourite boots and wrap ourselves up in warm jackets, hoodies and beanies, when we venture outdoors. But it’s also the best time to give ourselves permission to ‘cocoon’ with our loved ones and enjoy the best that winter has to offer. Who doesn’t love getting into warm PJs, snuggling in front of the fire, settling down with a mug of hot chocolate for a good read, feasting on lovely warm stews and steaming bowls of soup, or soaking in a candle-lit scented bubble bath with nourishing salts or oils and pampering ourselves with a luxurious body cream! For just a short while, close the door and hide away from the world – this is your time for some extra self-care!

BEST OF WINTER Winter is here and with it comes seasonal changes that will very likely affect your skin, no matter what your skin type. With less moisture in the air, your skin may become drier and more sensitive to the environment around it. It's time to adjust your skin care routine. Remember to exfoliate to remove additional build-up of dry skin cells, and to nurture and nourish your skin, with richer products during this season.

HERE’S OUR PICK OF THE BEST WINTER PRODUCTS!

Cleansers Daily Routine

Switch from a wash to a gentle, more nurturing cream cleanser in winter, to avoid stripping the skin during this drier season.

WINTER SKIN

CONCERNS

Q&A with Lisa Leibov

Lisa Leibov, iBLOOM Beauty and Wellness Academy Director and Principal

Q. Why should I change from using a face wash to a cleansing milk in winter?

Q. Why does my summer facial moisturiser not feel nourishing enough in winter?

A. Our needs are different in these two seasons. In summer, our skins have more oil and we sweat more due to the heat, and so a facewash is more refreshing and cleanses deeply. However, in winter, as the skin is drier and may feel tight and uncomfortable, a cleansing milk or cream is more comforting and nourishing.

My recommendation: Try Placecol Clean Start Facial Milk or the Placecol Illuminé Cream Cleanser.

A. In winter, the skin becomes drier and needs more oil-based nourishment, as the air is colder and drier and there is less natural moisture in the air. This means that there is less external stimulation boosting our skin to encourage it to produce natural oils. This is especially true of inland areas versus coastal areas, which have a drier winter climate.

My recommendation: Protect and moisturise your skin with Placecol Barrier Protect Day and Night, Skinderm Living Skin Rich Moisturiser or Placecol Illuminé Rich Firming Day Moisturiser.

Q. Why is my skin shinier in summer compared to in winter?

A. The more intense the temperature and the more humidity in the air, the more our body secretes both sweat and sebum (oil). Sweat is secreted to cool down the skin, whereas oil is secreted when the skin is more stimulated. In winter, when it’s cooler and drier, the skin is less stimulated and therefore does not have the same shiny appearance.

Q. Why should I wear an SPF in winter?

A. Whenever there is daylight, the sun is still shining. Your skin is being exposed to UV rays and your pigment cells will still respond to UV Light. It is therefore vital to use an SPF to provide a barrier to protect your skin.

My recommendation: Placecol Sun Protection Spray SPF 15 is sufficient protection if you are not out in the sun during the day. If you are out in the sun, Placecol Illuminé Sun Protection SPF 40 is the ideal protection for your skin.

8 IBLOOM | ISSUE 04

Q. Why do I get patches of drier, scaly skin on the front of my shins, elbows, and knees during winter ?

A. Due to the harsher climate in winter, a build up of dead skin cells occurs, especially on those areas.

My recommendation: Use the Placecol Body Exfoliator to remove the build-up followed by Placecol Face and Body Lotion for essential nourishment to reduce dryness.

Q. I often see dry skin flakes like dandruff when I remove my jeans or leggings A. Our bodies naturally shed skin all year round, but in winter, when there is an extra build-up of dry skin cells, it becomes more obvious and especially on dark clothing.

My recommendation: Change from using a soap bar to a gentle wash and remember to exfoliate with a body exfoliator and nourish with a good body lotion.

Benefits of

Oils

It’s a common misconception that facial oils are only suitable for dry and ageing skin and that oils make your skin look greasy and shiny. Well, let’s set the record straight right here!

Facial oils are, in fact, beneficial for all skin types as they work alongside your natural oils to strengthen your skin’s barrier and keep the skin soft, supple and healthy. They also lock in moisture to prevent dehyration, all year round.

Facial oils are now big news in the beauty industry and most professional skin care brands incorporate oils within their products or have their own facial oil blends available to suit various skin types.

For oilier skins, certain oils can regulate natural sebum (oil) production, cleanse the skin, and help reduce breakouts and blemishes. For ageing skin, they can boost the skin’s resilience, elasticity, and target free radicals, one of the main causes of ageing. For sensitive skins, some oils are able to calm and soothe redness or assist with concerns, such as eczema or rosacea.

For some who have a drier skin, they will enjoy a richer oil which leaves a protective film on the skin, whilst those with an oiler skin, will enjoy the latest innovation of 'dry oils', that penetrate the skin without leaving an oily film. Whichever way you look at it, all skin types can benefit from nature's wonderful gift of oils!

Here are just a few of the oils that can be found in the best skin care products and how they can benefit your skin.

Sweet Almond Oil

Sweet almond oil is rich in vitamin E, monounsaturated fatty acids, proteins, potassium, and zinc. It is mild, hypoallergenic, and anti-inflammatory, so it is safe to use directly, even on sensitive skin, and acts as an antioxidant. This oil gives an immediate moisturising boost as it locks moisture into the skin and as it contains emollient properties and high percentages of vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorus, and copper, it also helps to restore the outer layer of skin, preventing water loss and relieving dry, flaking skin.

Manketti Nut Oil

Manketti nut oil contains a large amount of vitamin E (an antioxidant that helps stave off skin damage and signs of ageing), as well as nutrients such as calcium, copper, and zinc. It is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which remain on the skin, providing a protective, emollient layer on the skin’s surface, and acts as a barrier to prevent moisture loss.

Argan Oil

Argan oil has a soothing, nourishing and protecting effect on the skin, and is easily absorbed without a non-greasy appearance. The Vitamin E and fatty acid content in argan oil keeps your skin supple even in the driest of winters. Argan oil helps maintain hydration levels, stimulates cell renewal to heal damaged skin, and calms blotchy, flaky and dry patches. It helps reduce the visibility of wrinkles, and can give your skin a youthful glow.

As it is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, it is excellent for skin breakouts too.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil comes packed with a range of beneficial skin care properties such as antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It blends easily into the skin to retain the skin's moisture level and keep it soft and supple. Additionally, it has anti-wrinkle properties and improves skin elasticity.

Squalene

Squalene is a lipid produced naturally by your own skin cells, but the amount your body produces declines with age. Squalene is also found naturally in many plants such as in olives, rice bran, and sugarcane to supplement and repair our natural barrier function. This helps to nourish and feed the skin, while locking in moisture, keeping the skin soft and supple. Squalene has potent anti-oxidants, helping to fight free radical damage and delay ageing.

Chia Seed Oil

Chia seed oil is high in omega-3 and omega-6, both of which are associated with a healthier skin membrane, more hydrated skin, and protection against UV damage. As it is naturally one of the lighter oils, it is quickly absorbed into the skin, so is a non-greasy face oil. Chia seed oil is also rich in skin-strengthening fatty acids, vitamin B3, and zinc, which helps to unclog pores.

Rosehip Oil

Rosehip oil is also an easily absorbed, non-greasy oil containing a wealth of essential fatty acids, including linoleic and linolenic acid. These acids keep the cell walls strong, preventing water loss and make it an excellent option for hydrating the skin. Additionally, rosehip oil has a high vitamin A and vitamin C content to encourage skin cell turnover, which aids in cell regeneration and boosts overall radiance.

ONLINE SKIN CONSULTATIONS! Have you tried one yet?

Life as we know it has changed in so many ways since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we were confined to our homes, the move towards doing everything online became our reality. Whether technology proficient or not, we were catapulted into the digital world.

As customers couldn’t visit a beauty salon, the Imbalie Beauty Group recognised that it was not enough to just make products available online. They wanted to continue assisting their customers with their skin transformation journeys, providing expert advice from professional therapists, to ensure that they were using the correct products for their specific skin type and concerns. And so, the online skin consultation by Placecol skin care clinics, Dream Nails Beauty salons and Perfect 10 studios was born.

WHAT ARE YOUR SKIN CONCERNS? Forehead Lines/ Wrinkles

Dry/ Dehydrated/ Sensitive Skin

Pigmentation

Problematic/ Oily Skin A virtual consultation is a great way of getting to know your skin, what it needs, and which products are best for you. It is a great opportunity to get in-depth advice and answers to your burning questions, in the privacy of your own home and without any other distractions. If you’ve never had a virtual consultation or want to know a bit more about how to recognise the different skin types, read on….

Why have a virtual skincare consultation?

Our skin constantly changes throughout our lives - from season to season, as we age and due to internal and external factors, and so we can’t just use the same skin care products year after year. A virtual skincare consultation gives you a window into your skin. It allows you to truly understand your skin better so that you can make more informed decisions when purchasing your skin care products. This helps you get the best results, and ensures that you don't waste money, especially at a time, when you are probably having to be cautious on how you spend your hard-earned income.

What do our virtual skin consultations involve?

A virtual or online consultation involves you and a professional skin care therapist connecting on zoom, WhatsApp video or Instagram (depending on your agreed platform) for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. You will need access to a computer, lap top or cell phone, with the video switched on and good lighting. where you can be at ease and chat about your skin health and any concerns.

14 IBLOOM | ISSUE 04

What happens during an online skin consultation?

Once you have booked and confirmed the date and time of your consultation, you will be sent a short form to fill in with some questions about your skin, general health, and lifestyle.

This form will be sent to the therapist who has been assigned to you. During your session, your professional skin care therapist will go through your form and chat with you to diagnose what skin type you have, any products that you are currently using, but will also discuss any issues you may be experiencing, regarding the condition of your skin.

Although your skin type is genetically determined, skin conditions change constantly due to the fact that we do not exist in isolation, but are constantly bombarded by internal and external factors. That’s why an important element of the online skin consultation is for your skin care expert to also spend some time understanding what lifestyle factors could be contributing to any underlying conditions of your skin.

It’s by working together with your skin care professional that you will understand what changes you may need to make to your lifestyle to limit

the factors that are contributing to your concerns.

Combined with a recommended skin care routine and the correct products diagnosed by the therapist, you have the best chance of achieving healthy, radiant skin and your desired results.

Skin types:

Our skin types are genetically predetermined and altered mainly by age and extenuating circumstances.

In essence, we have one of four skin types: • Normal Skin • Combination Skin • Oily Skin • Dry Skin

How do I recognise my skin type?

Our skin type is determined by certain factors which are visible on the skin and also by how our skin feels, under our fingertips. Here are four helpful indicators of your skin type: 1. Visible open pores.

When looking at your skin, the more pores you have, the larger the oil glands are below the skin.

The pores, in essence, are the conduit for the oil to flush the surface of the skin. Small pores mean that very little oil reaches the surface and, therefore, the skin will be drier.

2. Visible shine.

This is visible on the surface of the skin from the oil that is secreted. Oily skin will look shinier.

3. What you feel when gliding your fingers over your skin.

When you glide your fingers over an oily skin, you can feel the greasiness under your fingers and see the oil on the pads of your fingers.

However, when gliding over a dry skin, the skin seems finer and may have rough, dry patches.

Summary: • Areas that have visible pores and where we feel the oil on our finger tips are classified as oily.

• Areas where the pores are not visible and there is no oily secretion on the surface will be classified as dry.

• An oily skin will have open pores and shine everywhere.

• A dry skin will have minimal visible pores and no shine and could be dull and uncomfortable.

• A combination skin will have areas of both on different parts of the skin.

• To have a normal skin is very rare and almost impossible, but a few very lucky individuals may be blessed with this skin type. Another word for this would be balanced skin. It’s the job of a professional therapist to create homeostasis or balance in your skin. This is done by reducing the excess sebum on the oilier areas and nourishing and feeding the dryer areas.

As well as your skin type, we also have different concerns during our life time ranging from acne, pigmentation, signs of ageing, dark circles under the eyes, dehydration, and so on. Your skin care expert will be able to assess your skin type and address these concerns when she makes her recommendations for your skin care routine.

Call 0800 11 22 22 to book an online skin consultation for just R50 (valued at R450).

It's a small investment for expert advice and healthy, radiant skin. You'll even get this back if you decide to buy two or more Placecol, Skinderm, or INNOXA products online.

4. Ask yourself - How does your make-up apply and does it last all day?

On dry skin, make-up will apply unevenly, whereas on oily skin or oilier patches, make-up will wash off as the day progresses and our body secretes more oil.

IT'S A

NEW AGE You’ve probably heard the saying that ‘prevention is better than cure’ and this definitely applies to ageing.

Almost everyone ends up worrying about ageing at some point in their lives. So it stands to reason that the earlier you start looking after your skin, the better chance you will have of ageing gracefully.

In today’s digital world, we are continually being bombarded by skincare products that claim to tackle the signs of ageing, not to mention the many products available on retail shelves. But looking after your skin can become a costly affair, especially if you waste money on the wrong products which can actually irritate your skin instead of balancing it or when you chop and change between products, because they just don’t seem to be working!

One immediate way of cutting out all the noise and to know if a product is trustworthy and effective, is by heading straight for a range that is recommended or used by professional therapists in their salons. After all, a skin care therapist has been trained to understand ‘all things skin’ and it is in yours and their best interest to make sure their customers have a good, balanced skin care routine, and are using the best products to help tackle the signs of ageing, for happy, healthy and radiant skin.

24 I B L O O M | I S S U E 0 4

What happens when we age?

As we age, the internal processes of the body start to slow down and as a result, our cells are not renewed as quickly as when we were younger. Added to that, the effects of UV radiation, our diets, hormone changes, stress levels, and other lifestyle factors, can all contribute to premature ageing.

Signs of ageing: - Lines and wrinkles - Dull and uneven skintone - Sagging skin/loss of firmness - Age spots/pigmentation - Dry skin - Rough skin texture.

TREATMENT FOCUS

MICRO-NEEDLING How long does it take to see results?

▪ Due to the increase in microcirculation, the skin becomes more radiant, within a few hours.

▪ It can take between 6-8 weeks before visible signs of skin regeneration are seen and the process will continue to evolve over the ensuing months, providing a gradual improvement.

We don’t have to only rely on just products to help slow down the effects of ageing. Most salons offer anti-ageing treatments with newer technologies, that really get to the deeper layers of the skin and help to reduce whatever signs of ageing are visible on the surface of the skin.

Who is it for?

Micro-needling is safe for most skin types as there is no heat emission in the procedure and it is minimally invasive. It's ideal for ageing skin, sagging skin in need of firming, rough, uneven skin, acne scarred skin, enlarged pores and stubborn blemishes, dark spots and dull, skin lacking in oxygen.

How does Micro-needling work?

Micro-needling uses a pen-like device, which pulsates in an up and down motion, creating minor conduits or breaks in the skin. The depth of these conduits differs and is determined by the needle depth and amount of needles selected by the therapist. This process causes the skin to initiate it's natural wound-healing process and is done in combination with products that promote effective wound-healing.

The minor conduits or 'injuries' caused during a micro-needling treatment are enough to initiate the wound-healing cascade, where the body automatically kicks into overdrive to repair this hole, and sends a myriad of wound healing elements to rebuild and repair the skin. This rebuilding process has a visible rejuvenating effect on the skin, resulting in many favourable benefits with visible and lasting results.

26 I B L O O M | I S S U E 0 4

Will my skin become red or inflamed?

▪ The initial inflammatory reaction of the skin after a micro-needling procedure is short and fades significantly after a couple of hours, depending on the skin of the individual. Clients with a more sensitive skin type or older patients may take longer to fully recover.

Who should not have a Micro-needling treatment?

Your therapist will advise you if micro-needling will benefit you and will check that there are no contra-indications, such as blood thinning or retinoid treatments or allergies.

How deep do the needles penetrate?

The depth worked at is solely dependent on each client’s concerns, problem areas, the tolerability of the skin to the treatment, and the desired results.

For a first micro-needling treatment, your therapist will work at a fairly superficial level in order to see how the skin reacts and if the skin can tolerate working deeper in future treatments. Depending on your skin, the correct needle depth used by the therapist will be between 0.25 mm – 1.5 mm. Only under supervision of a doctor is a therapist allowed to work deeper than 1.5 mm and this is only on specific areas, such as the cheek area.

How many sessions are required?

A single treatment can show a visible difference, but a series of 6-8 treatments is recommended to achieve optimal results. Space them 4 weeks apart to allow time for the restructuring of the skin matrix.

Micro-Needling treatments are available at selected Placecol Skin Care Clinics, Dream Nails Beauty salons and Perfect 10 Studios.

O’CHOCOLAT…

There’s nothing better than a good slab of chocolate to lift your spirits! But as you savour each mouthful of deliciousness, isn’t it great to know that, when eaten in moderation, chocolate has so many other benefits for your skin too? Dark chocolate with more than a 70% content of raw cocoa is the best type of chocolate to really take advantage of these benefits, whether you eat it or put it on your skin in a comforting chocolate facial.

28 I B L O O M | I S S U E 0 4

Who doesn’t love a good slab of chocolate!

Where did it all begin?

Chocolate is derived from the seed of the cacao plant and people have been indulging in the delights of cocoa since the first plants were found 4,000 years ago, in ancient Mesoamerica, now known as Mexico. In the early days, it was used for many purposes, including as medicine, ritualistic drink of the gods, an aphrodisiac, a sweetened refreshing drink and in fact, cocoa beans were even used by the Aztecs, as currency for trading.

When it arrived in Europe, it was mainly used as an indulgent drink, but when the first chocolate press was eventually invented in 1828, the era of individual chocolates was born, eventually leading to the slabs of chocolate we all know and love.

Read on to find out more and how the cocoa benefits your skin.

How does the cocoa mask benefit your skin in this facial?

• Cocoa contains high levels of anti-oxidants that protect your skin against free radical damage. It has anti-ageing properties, and assists in cellular healing to help protect and repair your skin.

• The anti-inflammatory properties in cocoa assist in soothing sensitive skin.

• Cocoa is rich in Vitamins A, C, E, B, and D, which are all highly beneficial for the overall wellbeing and health of your skin.

• Cocoa contains high levels of the zinc, which helps fight against bacteria that can cause skin breakouts.

• Cocoa contains fatty acids, which naturally moisturise the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

The Placecol Hydro Cocoa Facial takes advantage of the wonderful properties of chocolate combined with the benefits of a facial treatment to leave your skin hydrated and supple, making it the ideal facial for you this winter.

Hydro Cocoa Facial

Available at selected Placecol, Dream Nails Beauty, and Perfect 10 salons nationwide. Price R425.

The Hydro Cocoa Facial is an intensive moisturising treatment that combines SOFT LASER® with a rejuvenating cocoa mask to provide long-lasting hydration, restore moisture and suppleness, especially to dry, sensitive and dehydrated skin.

The facial includes the following steps: 1. Double cleansing.

2. Enzyme exfoliation.

3. SOFT LASER® (a mechanical device) which stimulates the biological processes of the skin, resulting in a radiant and glowing complexion.

4. Application of a bespoke chocolate alginate mask.

5. Relaxing neck and decollate massage.

6. Moisturiser is applied to nourish and lock in moisture.

7. A protective SPF layer is applied as a final step.
