MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How do I know which products are right for my complexion?
It is advisable to consult a specialist beforehand. For best results, we advice to stick to 1-2 brands of cosmetic products (as there are certain ingredients that do not "mix" and can cause various undesirable reactions).
Often, products that are suitable for a particular skin type do not give the desired result because they are not tailored to the problem at hand. For example, a skin type may be oily/sensitive, but the main problem and skin condition is rosacea or acne, where completely different products and treatments are needed. Therefore, the product descriptions available in our e-shop are as detailed and nuanced as possible, so that the customer can understand exactly what is needed for his/her complexion.
2. How often should I go for treatments?
Depends on your desired goal and available resources. If you have had a skin assessment and need to address a skin problem such as acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, scarring, then for best results it is recommended to have treatments 2x per month. If your goal is to improve skin condition and texture in general, or to slow down the ageing process, we recommend 1-2 treatments per month. Monthly treatments maintain the results achieved.
3. Can Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 also be used in summer?
Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 has different intensities, from the weakest to the strongest (Lotion P50 PIGM400, Lotion P50W, Lotion P50V and Lotion P50). All P50 lotions contain a powerful combination of AHA, BHA and PHA exfoliants: lactic acid, malic acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, which act as a chemical peel. As the name suggests, P50 gently rejuvenates the skin in 50 days - "P" for exfoliation and "50" for 50 days, corresponding to approximately two epidermal renewal cycles, providing gentle but effective results.
This lotion may only be applied and sold by a specialist, having first assessed the condition of the facial skin, the intensity of the lotion required and the need for use during the summer season.
4. How do I apply the correct SPF intensity (15/25/30/50)?
SPF 2-8: minimum skin protection. Mostly chosen for complexions that rarely burn. In Latvia, we use these SPFs in glazed offices.
SPF 8-15: minimum protection. Used when the skin burns only occasionally.
SPF 15-20: medium protection. Use if the skin burns easily in the sun, moderate shading.
SPF 20-50...: maximum protection. Use if the skin always burns and is allergic to the sun.
5. Will applying more and more often give better results?
If you apply too little, most of the time there is no improvement; if you apply too much, you waste product.
111SKIN and Biologique Recherche products have a high concentration of active ingredients, so there is no need to apply as thickly as possible and more.
6. From what age should I consider using cosmetic products that reduce the signs of ageing?
Definitely no earlier than the age of 20. Depends on genetics, skin firmness, amount of wrinkles and fine lines. Someone needs anti-ageing products at 22, someone at 30/35.
7. How to reduce puffiness?
Tūskai var būt dažādi iemesli - pārlieku liela šķidruma uzņemšana ikdienā, asisnrites problēmas, alkohola lietošana. Ja tūska koncentrējas sejas zonā, iesakām 2x mēnesī apmeklēt speciālistu sejas procedūru veikšanai un mājas apstākļos lietot atbilstošus kosmētiskos produktus:
Sub-Zero De-Puffing Energy Facial Mask
111SKIN Cryo-Sticks
8. Can exfoliation be used at home?
111SKIN Rose Quartz Exfoliating Mask/Exfoliator is safe and allowed for home use. However, Biologique Recherche brand exfoliants are not available for purchase by the customer (with the exception of Lotion P50), only for facial treatments under the supervision of a specialist.
In the case of other brands, we cannot be 100% sure about the results and possible side effects/complications.
9. From what age can I have the injections?
Legally from the age of 18, but you should consider the need for the injections and any risks before you have them. Up to the age of about 30 (each case is individual), we prefer a long-term approach combined with seasonal skin care and regular treatments/facial muscle massages for best results.
10. How to successfully reduce the signs of ageing without injections?
By using the right cosmetic products at home and having regular facials.
To reduce the signs of ageing, we recommend 111SKIN Celestial Black Diamond and Reparative lines.
