We spoke to Sally Curson about her Alresford based business Face Matters, and her SkinHealth Studio, and this is what she told us….

I’ve been a beauty therapist for over 30 years and began specialising in facials around 7 years ago. My studio is above Wildbunch florists on West Street and essentially it’s a gym, but for your face!

Shaving will be easier, skin won’t look blotchy or red, and you’ll experience fewer ingrown hairs, too.

Having fewer breakouts, bumps, dryness, redness and oily areas.

Renewed confidence! There’s nothing wrong (or unmanly) with wanting to look your best.

All of those benefits, plus smoother, more even-textured and healthier-looking skin are possible from using a simple, well formulated skincare routine. And don’t worry, this routine won’t take long at all!

A word on what we mean by “well formulated”: It’s unfortunate, but many skincare products aimed at men contain sensitizing, drying ingredients such as fragrance, parfum and alcohol, amongst others, which can be problematic. It’s enough to put men off skincare for life—and we can’t say we blame you!

After 30 years of working in the beauty industry as a therapist, Sally Curson formulated Face Matters. Made from natural and organic ingredients, pure and gentle formulations are at the forefront of the brand ensuring that Face Matters is kind to both your skin and the environment.

The Benefits Of Facial Massage

Facial massage can firm and sculpt. It helps by increasing circulation (healthy glow), stimulating the lymph nodes (reduce swelling), and relaxing tight muscles (prevent the formation of wrinkles), it releases tension and also removes dead skin cells, leaving you with skin that looks and feels younger and healthier.

It takes a determined discipline to thoroughly cleanse your face twice a day, especially when all you want to do is hit the sheets but it really does only take 2 or 3 minutes to properly cleanse your face before bed and you’ll see your complexion immediately brightened. Use a good old fashioned flannel or some sort of muslin cloth to exfoliate at the same time and remove all those dull-making dead skin cells too. Make-up left on overnight is a breeding ground for dirt, dust and oil. Pores become blocked and enlarged, which will cause blemishes and uneven skin tone. None of us realise how often we touch our faces during the day, each time spreading bacteria – havoc is wreaked!
