Caring for the skin

Customer: I’m terribly sad, my skin looks older and has many wrinkles and I haven’t got much time to do an intensive skin care

Beautician: Don’t worry, Madam. To obtain a healthy skin is not very difficult, it’s enough to follow the basic rules we propose

Customer: I’ve been to dermatologist after dermatologist, spa after spa, expert after expert and I haven’t got the results I wanted. I can tell you most of the things I’ve tried didn’t work and only a few that did

Beautician: A good skin care can help to delay the natural ageing process and prevent various skin problems

Customer: What can I do to improve my skin condition?

Beautician: One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. Sun exposure can cause wrinkles and spots

Customer: This summer, when I was outdoor, I applied sunscreen but perhaps it was not sufficient

Beautician: The best way to protect your skin is to apply sunscreen every two or more hours, and avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun’s rays are the strongest. In any case a regular cleansing and nourishment routine is essential and, even if you are using products to reduce clogged pores and dead skin cells, you still need to moisturize your face and neck

Customer: I’ve understood, with diligent skin care and good habits I can obtain healthy skin. I’ll keep that in mind, don’t worry

Beautician: Well, thank you for your interest in our salon, and we look forward to helping you achieve in the near future your goal in the field of beauty
