THE BEAUTY FILES

---

Transitioning is never easy. Not in any facet of our lives. Moving into new seasons can be uncomfortable and so can building a new routine. There's always the motivational point that must be at the forefront of your mind in order to commit and persist. The question of: What benefit do I get out of this? In our most recent collaboration with Blush Skin Clinic in Merivale Mall, I learned that the benefit is naturally glowing skin and a long lasting beauty routine to go with it. 

The business of beauty is big. A recent study showed that beauty startups have eclipsed the consumer industry faster than any other modern means of making money. Every day there is a new promising product released that captivates the world and extracts billions from the daily dollar. As a woman with a front facing job and walking the occasional runway, one must put their best face forward at all times so over the years I've tried a lot of the lot. We are also sent lots of product to test here at the magazine and what works for me may not work for others but I do know that establishing a proper beauty routine is a beautiful thing.

So how does one know what works? I leave this to the professionals and most recently for me it was at Blush who specialize in rebuilding skin and rebuilding lives through DMK. Through its unique combination of state-of-the-art botanical science and innovative technology, DMK has formulated a range of treatments and products designed to act like an ecosystem for the skin.

Enzyme Therapy is the core of DMK’s Professional Skin Revision treatments. Designed to encourage the skin to function optimally, Enzyme Therapy is a unique concept exclusive to DMK. This treatment is unlike anything you have experienced before. It improves lymphatic drainage whilst eliminating toxins and impurities from the skin. A “Plasmatic Effect” is the result from the enzymes that encourage circulation and oxygenation to replenish the skin. 

I did the research and invested the time into working out whether this new skin regime worked. I received 2 full enzyme skin treatments that included the most relaxing massage and I left with a skin prescription, product, and an easy to follow routine for both day and night. The benefits were seen immediately and that made it easy to stick with the process and trust I was doing my face a favour. The enzymes in the treatment actively work to hydrolyse dead skin and encourage new collagen and elastin formation. The skin is oxygenated and detoxified. My skin was beaming. The DMK philosophy of REMOVE, REBUILD, PROTECT and maintain has gained international recognition because healthy vibrant skin is actually achieved. 

The treatment works for those with acne and congestion, pigmentation and uneven skin tone, wrinkles and fine lines, premature ageing and sun damage plus scaring, stretchmarks and cellulite. Your skin technician will determine the appropriate programme for you and they can provide you a complete skin analysis. 

It's back to Blush I go to stock up on product and book in my treatments which are beneficial from anywhere between every 4-6 weeks. Make the personal commitment. Devoting time to yourself definitely comes with the benefit of feeling beautiful both inside and out. 

Just a sidenote: My standout product was the EFA Ultra-DMK's signature supplement that provides the full group of essential fatty acids 3,6,7, and 9. It is designed to support skin functioning, internal health and overall wellbeing.

Stay beautiful, Cantabrians.
