I have always been skeptical about the treatment that guarantees the Sun and the moon.
However, the iS Clinical fire and ice face are equipped with high
Profile faces a claim to support it.
This is a secret weapon in the beauty arsenal of some of Hollywood's top stars, including Halley Berry (pictured)
And Grace Paltrow.
In Los Angeles, it is known as "Red Carpet Processing" for its instant brightening, tightening and smooth effects ".
This is an intensive clinical treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, smooth and soft, while promoting cell renewal.
Can you really be so good?
Cathy Waller at Winchester Medical beauty clinic works as a registered general nurse and former drama Nurseto-
But she was excited about the treatment.
"This is a very fast lunch program and the result is very good.
"Fire and ice are a result --
Focus on treatment, known for being light and even a little uncomfortable.
My face was cleaned and then painted with the "fire" section.
This is actually a mild peel that removes the top layer of the skin using 18 cents of alcohol acid and vitamin.
"It will relax the cell cement and cause surface trauma to the skin to promote the production of collagen," Cathy said . ".
The mask can't stay for more than five minutes (
Some people are much more tolerant).
She warned that it could itch, Sting or feel hot, both of these three cases, but very mild.
Cathy wiped it off and neutralised my skin before the "ice" started.
This is a skin rejuvenation mask-
Use hyaluronic acid with Herbal antioxidants and soothing aloe vera.
It tastes mint.
Cathy put the mat in my eyes and said, "it's time for you to take a nap . ".
She turned off the lights and stung me for about 10 minutes.
After taking off the mask, my face, neck and shoulders were plagued by a series of discomfort.
It took me over half an hour and apparently I was "very pink ". Too right.
I looked silly while sunbathing.
Cathy explained that for most people, Pink will disappear after about an hour, but you probably shouldn't be treated on the day of the event.
I'm not that lucky, my neck after 48 hours (in particular)
Send out a shocking red nuclear scarlet.
Obviously, my response is "very unusual" and we would recommend a skin patch test if the therapist has any concerns.
But I have to say that I do notice a difference once it is finally resolved: My skin feels softer and stronger.
Will I go through ice and fire again?
Yes-I will make sure I don't have it the day before my red --carpet event.
While it is not recommended that anyone with an active skin condition try facial care at home, the is Clinical home skincare collection is much more moderate.
It claims to have achieved good results in the following areas: I found it to have significant refining and smooth effects.
Products are expensive (£33-£139)
But a bit of a long walk (victoriahealth. com)
