Our family business is Advanced Beauty Therapy & Spa Woy Woy and I am also a diploma qualified beauty therapist so you would probably expect me to be religious with a skincare regime. Truth is that over the past year life has gotten in the way and I have not regarded my skin as a priority.

The above picture is a chromofore map of my skin which has kicked me back in line. The tool that we use for our clients to determine a treatment plan is the Beau Visage Skin Analysis which measures the blood and melanin chromofore maps of the skin.

The past year my skin health has declined due to my own ignorance. I have caused negative effect to my skin by:

1. Solarium /sun tanning bed visits
2. Sun tanning at beaches in Australia, Mexico and Los Angeles.
3. Not consistently protecting my skin with an SPF on a daily basis regardless of the fact that I work indoors
4. Not being consistent with my skincare routine

Perfect skin would depict an even tone in the chromofore mapping however as you can see in the above pictures, my skin mapping shows deteriorated acid mantle on my cheeks, congestion, broken capillaries around my nostrils, underlying pigmentation & hyperpigmentation.

My favourite feature about the beau visage tool is that it calculates estimated skin age. My score is highly warranted for the neglect I have induced to my skin and resulted in an overall age score of 29. Very confronting since I’m only 23

So moving forward my plan of action is:
1. Protect my skin from Australia’s harsh uv rays with use of a SPF daily.
2. Continue with my healthy lifestyle rich in good foods and fitness
3. Repair and re-nourish my damaged skin with topical home skin care and hydrating salon treatments infusing vitamins and minerals
4. When my skin is nourished then work on the pigmentation with some more invasive treatments such as medi peels, led light therapy and microhydrabrasion
5. My home care is a combination of Phillip Martins organic range and various cosmeceuticals that will target my concerns

The analysis of my skin was conducted on the 23rd of February 2014 and I will continue to update my skins progress accordingly.
