A quick look at the French Facial
AQ Cosmetics’ rejuvenating treatment takes time and is only to be performed by trained skincare experts such as those at our clinic. After undergoing 4 carefully supervised steps of treatment, your skin will emerge revived, fresher, and younger-looking. The four steps include:
Step 1: Refine your pores with a glycolic acid peel
Rejuvenating your skin requires adequate preparation. This means, your facial skin must be gently exfoliated and toned so that dead cells are eliminated. Glycolic acid is one of the most popular peeling agents because it penetrates your skin easily. Its molecules are the smallest among all the alpha-hydroxy acids. This makes it easier for a glycolic acid peel to remove dead skin from your pores and refine it further.
A 30% concentration works at a superficial level and does not penetrate your skin unnecessarily. Instead, it has a calming effect and reduces inflammation, while gently exfoliating your skin by removing dead cells and impurities. At RSB Wellness, we use a 30% glycolic acid peeling agent to refine your pores. Thus, the first step of a French facial not only removes all the dead cells and impurities but also stimulates the renewal of cells. This results in a glowing complexion.
Step 2: Restore your skin’s pH levels
Your skin’s potential hydrogen (pH) levels indicate its acid-alkaline ratio. When your skin’s pH levels are in the ideal range, which is around 7.00/7.50, your skin looks great. When your skin’s pH levels are within the adequate range, it functions well and helps generate more collagen, leading to better elasticity and hydration.
If you were wondering where your skin’s pH levels are stored, it is in a layer called the “acid mantle”. The acid mantle protects your skin from toxins, pollution, free radicals, and environmental damage. In addition, it maintains skin hydration and improves elasticity. Thus, rejuvenating your skin requires us to make sure that your acid mantle’s pH levels are rebalanced.
To do so, we apply the pH Re-Balancing Lotion on your facial skin soon after the glycolic peel. This helps to restore your skin’s pH levels to normal and reduces any post-peeling inflammation. It soothes and calms your skin while preparing it for the next step in our elaborate French Facial. It also comes with the goodness of Arnica Montana Flower Complex, which has its antiseptic and soothing properties.
Step 3: Luxurious collagen mask to fight aging
The third step involves using a remarkably active Marine Collagen Anti-Aging Peel-Off Mask, once your pH levels are restored. At 2.00% concentration, it works wonders to hydrate and stimulate cell growth. As a result, your skin starts to regain its elasticity almost immediately. The Marine Collagen Anti-Aging Peel-Off Mask enhances cellular renewal and a sensation of hydration. It also strengthens and smoothens your epidermis so that it becomes tough enough to fight off environmental damage and free radicals that your own body produces.
The application of the mask is a pleasurable activity. We mix 30 grams of the Marine Collagen Anti-Aging Peel-Off Mask in water and apply a thin layer on your face and neck, Using a damp cotton pad, we begin to remove the mask after 20 minutes. The mask feels luxurious and has a very pleasant texture even while on your face. As it can be removed easily, it leaves you feeling fresh and radiant. Most importantly, it begins to work immediately to arrest aging and rejuvenate your skin.
Step 4: Complex high-tech serum application
As the final step of the French Facial, we apply the Acetyl Hexapeptide Complex serum to bring a targeted tensing effect. This reduces the appearance fine lines and wrinkles and helps slow down the aging process. It has the direct effect of reducing the depth of wrinkles and relaxing your epidermis. As a result, your skin starts to feel supple and smooth.
The serum contains two active ingredients — Acethyl Hexapeptide-8 (0.005%) and Dimethylaminoethanol (1.00%). Acethyl Hexapeptide-8 is particularly suited to reduce the appearance of wrinkles that are caused due to repetitive facial movements. This includes frown lines on the forehead and fine lines around the eyes. Dimethylaminoethanol firms and tenses your skin, so that the aging process is slowed down.
The serum is applied to the face and neck in circular motions. The Acetyl Hexapeptide Complex is particularly unique because of its dual-action. With regular application, this serum can slow down the aging process and help you look younger and fresher with each passing day.
