For those of you who love your lashes, you know the difference that lash treatments can make. They help to add tone, depth and make them look longer and fuller. No wonder it’s one of our most popular treatments, especially when they say that eyes are an attractive feature to the opposite sex …
Yet what type of treatment is best? Which one will make your eyes sparkle and stand out from the crowd? Well primarily, you’ve got 2 options: Eyelash Extensions and Lash Lifts. We’re here to help you figure out which one is best for you. So, What’s the Difference? Whilst both lash treatments aim to make your lashes longer and lovelier, they work differently. Eyelash Extensions, for example, work by adding extensions to your lashes to make them physically longer and thicker. A Lash Lift, on the other hand, is where your lashes are naturally curled to make them appear longer and fuller. Because it’s your natural eyelashes which are being used, Lash Lifts can look a lot more natural, whilst Eyelash Extensions have a more dramatic effect. It really depends on what you prefer. Lash Lifts: The Benefits It’s already been mentioned that one of biggest benefits of Lash Lifts is that they just look more natural. Lash Lifts are also great for helping to sort out any problems with longer, untamed lashes. If your lashes seem to crisscross or are twisty, a good lash lift can help to make them straighter and more manageable. Lash Lifts are also free of maintenance (apart from returning for another one every 6-8 weeks), and because you’re using your natural lashes, they are free of irritation. Lash Lifts: The Drawbacks The only real obstacle with a Lash Lift is that some people’s eyelashes can’t be lifted due to being too short. You’re really limited by what your natural eyelashes are capable of. If they are too short, then no amount of curling is going to help achieve an effect you want. That said, Medik8 Lash serum may be used to help nourish and stimulate the lashes to improve their growth. Eyelash Extensions: The Benefits Eyelash Extensions have gotten a bit of a bad reputation since Lash Lifts have become popular. They can be branded as fake and unnatural. Sure, a poorly done Eyelash Extension treatment does the opposite of enhancing your eyes, but one done well (by Nik at Mojo Beauty for example) will look amazing, (go to the instagram page https://www.instagram.com/mojobeautynz/ and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mojo.chch/ for photos of Mojo Beauty Lash Extensions and Lash Lifts). Eyelash Extensions are great for those looking to give their eyes a dramatic look. They can also make mornings a lot easier by giving you a mascara look without even having to get out of bed! Fantastic for weddings, formals and any special events. Eyelash Extensions: The Drawbacks If you are considering Eyelash Extensions, you need to do your homework and find a proper professional lash artist to do the best application for you. If they haven’t been professionally applied they may appear clumpy, stuck together, excessive amounts of glue and may cause your natural lashes to be pulled out. Which one is right for me? This really depends on what type of look you’re going for and what type of lashes you already have. If yours are particularly short, the eyelash extension is a great option. It’s also perfect for those looking to achieve that dramatic lash effect. If, on the other hand, you want something more natural and longer lasting, then the Lash Lift is probably going to suit you much better. Making your lashes look fuller and longer.

Skin needling – it sounds scary, but in reality, this is a very effective and practically painless way of achieving a totally radiant and luminous complexion.
Skin needling is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that restores and rejuvenates the skin. The treatment works by penetrating the top layers of the skin with micro-needles that create pin-point injuries in the deeper layers. This then triggers the body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin formation that has many advantages to the health of your skin. Here are our top 3 reasons you need to try skin needling: 1. BOOSTS COLLAGEN PRODUCTION The needling process slightly damages the skin below the surface, which your skin then repairs. Your body works to produce healthy new collagen and elastin fibres while it eliminates all damaged cells. In turn, new collagen reveals plumper, glowing and tighter skin. 2. TREATS FINE LINES, BROKEN CAPILLARIES AND WRINKLES The controlled injury that the procedure causes results in the repair production of collagen. Targeting collagen to the treated areas helps to fill in and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, as well as helping to rejuvenate the overall appearance of your complexion. 3. REDUCES THE APPEARANCE OF STRETCH MARKS AND SCARS The skin needling process helps the skin to repair itself after it has encountered physical damage like cuts or scars. Your skin will eliminate old tissue cells that cause scarring and will replace it with new and fresh collagen. Similarly, with stretch marks they can rid or reduce the appearance and the younger the stretch mark the more successful the treatment will be. The treatment takes 30 minutes and requires no downtime, so you can resume your day-to-day activities straight away (the perfect lunch break treatment). Despite the needles, Dermapen skin needling is also not painful and a numbing cream can be applied to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the treatment. Want to know more?

Dermal Needling isn’t suitable for acne-inflamed skin; this means this treatment isn’t for you if your skin is still breaking out on a daily basis and have got inflamed acne. You will need to get this under control, possibly with a Medik8 Peel with Nik at Mojo Beauty, before you continue onto this treatment, which is done to skin and regenerate it. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. Through the process of neovascularization and neocollagenesis, there is improvement in skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, broken capillaries, pigmentation and stretch marks. As scary as it may look, skin needling is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. These needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. It helps to promote collagen levels within 72 hours and ultimately it what will make your skin G L O W! I have now had about 4-5 skin needling treatments in the space of 6 months and my skin is glowing like the sun! People actually compliment me on my skin every single day, and this is coming from someone who’s lived the majority of their life battling cystic acne and mountains of breakouts! The Treatment Itself: Firstly a thorough Medik8 cleanse is performed to make sure that no bacteria or impurities are left on your face as the needles will otherwise push it into your skin and will infect the skin – not what we want! Then, you’ll be lathered all over your face with a numbing cream – the numbing cream will feel funny as it starts to work, because, basically, it numbs your face – which is exactly what we want to achieve. After 20-25 minutes the real skin needling treatment will start – it only takes about 10 minutes or so to do your entire face, and you can hardly feel anything (because of the numbing cream) as the treatment takes places – it looks painful because the little punctures will make your skin slightly bleed, but you can’t feel a thing The “fatty” areas of your face i.e. cheeks will feel fine but the forehead, nose and along the jawline will be slightly more sensitive as due to being closer to the bone . The skin needling pen will glide over your face. If there are any areas of concern e.g. acne scars, large pores they will press the area in a star/asterik/ shape. And yes, as I mentioned, there will be a bit of blood, but you won’t see that as the therapist will wipe this away as they go to prevent any inflammation. Finishing your skin needling procedure with a LED treatment is very advisable (from me) as it will help your skin regenerate and heal much quicker (we are talking days). You will be quite pink for a few hours after, but it’ll go down quickly, so please don’t be scared Expect shedding of skin in the coming days and dryness – this is normal as your old skin cells are coming off in order to make room for new ones. Nik at Mojo Beauty provides all her clients with a free take home Medik8 hydrator that is very soothing and healing. those of you who love your lashes, you know the difference that lash treatments can make.

Are you at a loss trying to find a treatment for acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, pigmentation and enlarged pores?
At Mojo Beauty, we offer Skin Needling which is the perfect solution to all of the above concerns. Skin Needling can be used to effectively achieve a fresh and rejuvenated appearance. Nik will discuss with you the best plan forward for the best results, that may include a Medik8 peel and a series of dermal needling sessions. Medik8 skincare including Retinol (for a more aged skin) would be recommended for the best results. Skin Needling is a procedure that has been performed for a number of years and used in a variety of methods has helped many of our clients with their skin concerns on various parts of the body. Skin Needling is fast becoming popular as it can be performed on the face, hands, chest, neck, back and legs. Skin Needling penetrates deeply into the underlying layers of skin triggering the body’s natural wound healing response within the skin, producing and distributing new collagen in the area that requires treatment. Skin Needling is based on acupuncture and involves a stamper being pressed over the area being treated numerous times to induce thousands of microscopic puncture wounds to the skin. The Skin Needling procedure uses multiple needles that differ in size depending on the area being treated. These needles pierce the skin creating tiny puncture wounds. These wounds encourage the production and distribution of new collagen and elastin that will progressively build healthy, thicker and firmer skin in the scar, stretch mark, or wrinkles being treated making them less noticeable and in some cases disappearing altogether. As abrasive as Skin Needling sounds, Mojo Beauty provides our clients with an anaesthetic/numbing cream which is applied 20 to 30 minutes before treatment to minimise discomfort. Nik includes a LED treatment following every treatment to help sooth and heal the skin and a take home Medik8 Ultimate Recovery Intense moisturiser for best healing and hydration. There is minimal downtime once Skin Needling is performed. Our clients will experience mild to moderate redness, swelling and sensitivity that can last 12 to 48 hours and the skin will start to feel dry and tight. A few days after the Skin Needling session your skin will start to flake and/or peel, this is normal as the dead skin cells are making way for new ones. Your skin will have a healthy, fresh glow and will feel soft, smooth and appear more even. A few weeks after your micro dermal skin needling treatment, you’ll start to notice a vast improvement in skin tone and texture and after a few months it will improve even more. After you continue with a few more Skin Needling treatments, whatever your skin concern, you’ll notice a reduction in fine lines, smoother skin texture, improved skin tone, reduction of scars and an improved stretch mark texture. Mojo Beauty offers a complimentary initial consultation to all our clients interested in Skin Needling.

Acne Face Map: What Are Your Breakouts Telling You?
Breakouts are a bummer. We all know the feeling of spotting an angry zit on an otherwise flawless complexion. Before you raise your fists to the sky & desperately demand “Why me?!” take a breath. There is more to breakouts than meets the eye - & where they appear on your face can be the key to stopping them for good. Here is your guide to using a face map to decode what your breakouts are telling you. Forehead: Unhealthy Eating & Stress Unhealthy eating & stress are probable offenders. In face mapping, your forehead is linked to your digestive and nervous systems, making it susceptible to diet- & stress-related breakouts. Those pesky pimples can be alleviated by eating less sugar & fewer processed foods, drinking plenty of water & getting between 7 to 9 hours of sleep. The oils & chemicals in shampoo & makeup residue can accumulate on the skin’s surface, sinking into & clogging pores. Double cleanse. To properly purge your pores, remove makeup with Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanse then moisturise with Medik8 Balance Moisturiser empowered with pre and probiotics. This method will help ensure that you remove every last bit of residue from your skin's pores and then hydrate it to find its natural pH. Cheeks: Cell Phone & Pillowcase If spots are showing up on your cheeks, your cell phone & pillowcase may be to blame. Your phone accumulates plenty of bad-for-your-skin bacteria during the day, and wiping it down is a must - even if it looks clean. Dirt & oil transfer to your skin, clogging pores & causing blemishes. Clean pillowcases every two to three days to keep them clean. Pillowcases can cause “acne mechanica” - a type of acne that is the result of materials touching your face. Chin & Jaw: Hormones Excessive hormones due to menstruation, pregnancy & increased androgen levels. These fluctuations result in inflammation, excessive oil production, clogged skin cells & bacteria production. Eliminate dairy & add probiotics to your diet to calm inflammation & limit your intake of pimple-producing hormones 😊 Mojo Beauty uses the award winning Medik8 skin care, researched and developed in a London Laboratory. This active cosmeuceutical skincare, can heal and repair any skin issue. Contact Nik at Mojo Beauty for a free skin consultation to discuss your skin and which treatment and/or Medik8 product would be best for your skin type. #mojobeautynz The First Green Cosmeceutical Brand - Medik8 Skincare
Most skin is sensitive, it is just to what degree. A simple change of washing powder can demonstrate this. People of all ages and skin types can periodically suffer from sensitive skin, making them particularly susceptible to certain irritating cosmeceutical ingredients. In fact, those suffering from acne, rosacea or psoriasis usually have greater skin sensitivity, which can be exacerbated by some aggressive treatment products that they use. Medik8 is a skin research company pioneering the cosmeceutical technology of providing products suitable for sensitive skin without compromising efficacy, so they may be used by everyone. It is a myth that a product designed for sensitive skin would not be as effective just because it is less irritating. It was previously incorrectly assumed that aggressive products causing significant inflammation gave the best results (the idea being that aggressive products provoke a healing response) but current opinion, based on the latest research, is that excessive inflammation can damage cells causing long term skin damage and perversely causing premature skin ageing. Medik8 has been, and continues to be researched and tested in a laboratory for best results. The part of the molecular structure of ingredients within Medik8 that could possibly irritate the skin, has been removed, therefore the resulting products are hydrating, repairing and healing to the skin. Nik of Mojo Beauty highly recommends Medik8 skin care, uses it for every skin treatment and enjoys watching her clients skin improve after each facial treatment, especially micro dermal needling treatments. |
