Always in search for the best of the best in Europe’s trendiest capitals and cities, VERTIGO’s beauty editor reveals her favourite beauty institute in Zurich and how she prepares her skin before attending the haute couture shows in Paris.
MICRODERMABRASION FOR SMOOTHER AND BRIGHTER SKIN
Microdermabrasion is one of the most effective professional skin treatments. It involves the use of spraying tiny crystals to remove dead skin cells on the surface, deeply exfoliate and brighten the face. It also reduces the appearance of fine wrinkles or scars that result from acne or surgery.
I always opt for a few microdermabrasion sessions ahead of Paris haute couture week. It gives me a clearer, healthier and more radiant skin. I book the sessions (90 minutes, CHF 180) at Aesthetics Retreat in Zurich, a new beauty institute near the opera house. Skincare specialist Daniela Graci, the owner of the institute, has been my beautician for ten years. Even though testing new beauty treatments is part of my job, Daniela’s skills are simply unique. Moreover, she’s a very warm-hearted person. (Please note that this is NOT a sponsored article.)
Microdermabrasion, a mild steaming and pore-purging are followed by an ampoule and a mask, a powerful combination that will remind you to double cleanse and tone your skin every night to maintain the results for as long as possible.
