ZO- Looking after your skin health

Our skin is commonly where our stresses show. Environmental factors such as sun damage and air pollution play a huge part in our skins health, along with diet and even our mental health. So why not give your skin the love it deserves, starting with a prescriptive skin care routine.

At The Dr Tanja Phillips Medical Aesthetic Clinic in Hampshire, we specifically recommend the ZO Skin Health range; Developed by physicians based on the latest advances in skin therapy technologies, unique delivery systems, bioengineered complexes and exclusive formulations. It bridges the gap between therapeutic treatments and daily care, allowing patients to experience continuously healthy skin regardless of their age, ethnicity or unique skin condition. Our reason for choosing ZO Skin Health is due to the fundamental ethos promoting healthy skin cells from within.

Where do I start?

ZO Skin Health offer easy to follow skin care protocols; Routines that are tailor-made for your skin’s individual needs. Following these routines takes no longer then 3-5 minutes twice a day and will result in healthy, glowing skin.

A consultation is needed first to discuss your concerns and establish your skin care needs. Following on from that, depending on your skin type and needs, you may be recommended additional treatment(s) which can be incorporated in to ZO’s Fundamental 5; You might remember us touching on this in a previous blog , the 5 step skincare routine?

Let’s break it down for you…

The Fundamental 5 is a simple 5 step routine, that can be made up of a number of different products to suit your skins needs. This is the starting point for all ZO protocols. Let’s explore the product range in a bit more detail:

Step 1: Wash/Cleanse

ZO offer a range of 3 cleansers to suit your skin type; all of them targeting dirt, oil and bacteria, leaving your face feeling fresh and clean without ‘stripping’ the skin. The gentle cleanser works great as a body wash too!

Step 2: Scrub/Exfoliation

The best-selling Exfoliating Polish is perfect for smoothing and brightening rough/dull skin by exfoliating effectively, suitable for all skin types. For particularly oily/acne prone skin, there is the Dual Action Scrub.

Step 3: Tone

Containing core ingredients such as Salicylic and glycolic acid, ZO’s Complexion Renewal pads will help to tighten pores and prevent breakouts. Oil Control Pads are recommended for oily/acne prone skin. They both help to reduce sebum production and additionally exfoliate dead skin cells. The botanical extracts act as an anti-inflammatory to help calm the skin.

Step 4: Daily Power Defence

This wonder product has a step all to itself! It contains DNA repair enzymes and antioxidants to help repair damaged cells as well as protecting against future damage. It promotes collagen production and encourages cellular activity to aid skin cell repair. The enzymes within Daily Power Defence product attach directly to your own DNA molecules and repair oxidative damage such as skin pigmentation caused by UV exposure and other insults to the skin.

Step 5: Correct – Insert your treatment here!

Yes, it’s as easy as that. Your prescribed skin treatment is incorporated in to your routine before the final step. Whether you suffer from Acne, Rosacea, pigmentation or you’d like a retinol product to help reverse the clock, there is something for everyone.

Step 6: Sunscreen

ZO offers a wide range of sun protection; full spectrum defence against UV rays and High Energy Visible Light (also known as HEV light) to help prevent premature ageing.

There you have it!

Maybe you are already following a Fundamental 5 protocol and wish to step it up with a treatment? Why not use your time at home to try a Retinol treatment? (A little peeling and redness would not be seen by anyone ????) Or maybe you would like to begin your ZO Skin Health journey?
