Summer certainly arrived early this year, and as the layers of clothing were peeled away, it is time to take a closer look at the condition of our skin. Over time, dead skin cells collect on the outer surface of the skin making it look dry, dull and flaky -- never a good look. It doesn’t matter how much lotion you slap onto these cells to moisturise, the ‘look’ persists.

This is because the skin cannot absorb your moisturiser effectively as the pores underneath the dead skin cells are clogged up by the debris on top of them. This makes your skin look dry and dehydrated.

Exfoliation removes these dead skin cells, allowing moisturiser to penetrate the skin’s surface more easily. As a result, the skin looks fresher and brighter, feels softer and tans more easily. Use a loofah or an exfoliating mitt to wash with in the shower, sloughing away this build-up of cells.

The face also deserves some special attention at this time of year. Use a gentle exfoliation product on the face. Many exfoliating lotions and facial scrubs are available, so choose according to your skin type.  

Here at Atrium we use the luxury MicroDermabrasion system; a wonderful facial treatment for all skin types. After cleansing, micro-crystals are applied to the skin and exfoliation is achieved by gently brushing the skin with an electrically rotating brush. Dead skin cells are removed and pores are unblocked leaving the skin vibrant and alive.

We have a special offer available at Atrium for the next couple of months to help you get the most out of your summer.  

The offer includes a full body exfoliation, back, neck and shoulder massage, luxury dermo-pro facial with a collagen and lavender face mask, foot massage and intensive handcare treatment using an avocado and lavender hand mask; all for only 65 euros!

So why hesitate? Come and treat yourself to two hours of luxurious pampering. Better still, have a pamper party and Atrium will come to you!
