SYLVIA’S SECRETS
Filorga Cryolift Facial
A treatment to try if you suffer from a dull and tired complexion
is the new Cryolift facial; it has a lot of medical research
behind it, and combines the high performance of products
by skincare brand Filorga with the stimulating effect of
cryotherapy (the use of extreme cold during a treatment).
Despite the fact that your skin gets blasted with cold air (at
minus 18 degrees Celsius) there is actually no discomfort.
In fact, the process serves to open the skin’s blood vessels,
boost microcirculation and pump cells full of oxygen, right
to the deepest dermal layers. You’ll be left with dramatically
more toned and radiant skin that is firmer to the touch.
If you’d like to continue the regime at home, the salon has
a full range of professional Filorga products in house, too.
Cost: $300 for 90 minutes (first trial price).

DIY FACIAL AND SKINCARE TIPS
FROM THE EXPERTS
Patricia Sia, GloAesthetics, says:
Amanda Ong, Spa at Loewen Gardens, says:
Chris from Visage The
Salon says:
Sylvia Haughey, Sylvia’s Secrets, says:
“Be sure to use products designed
for your skin type. For example, a
Vitamin C range is often good for
someone from 25 to 30 years of
age; after 40, look for a formulation
containing peptides to encourage
skin-cell turnover, which naturally
slows down with age.”
“After washing your face,
gently rub ice over it.
This helps to diminish
the size of pores by
constricting the blood
vessels underneath and
stimulating circulation.”
“Incorporate aromatic stimuli and deep
breathing techniques into your regime.
This releases serotonin and helps with
relaxation (as well as taking a few
creases off your face). Put two or more
drops of facial oil into the palm of your
left hand, then rub clockwise with the
flat palm of your right hand. Then, cup
your hands together over your nose and
mouth and inhale deeply.”
“Every day, apply your cleanser or creams using
lymphatic drainage movements. I’ve always believed
that this technique helps to keep the face toned
and radiant while reducing any fluid retention. To
begin, start massaging from the chin up and along
the right jawline towards the earlobe. Work up one
side of the face up to the forehead, and then do
the same for the other side of the face. Repeat the
whole motion gently several times.”
