What is BB GLOW?
BB Glow is a semi-permanent foundation treatment that involves gently micro-needling a high-quality pigmented serum, infused with anti-ageing peptides, into the skin.
With BB glow you need minimum of 4-6 treatments, until satisfied with the level of coverage. 1-2 weeks apart to make this work, then 1 session every 6 months to upkeep.
Please note that BB Glow will not achieve the same level of coverage as make up as the pigments used are organic and natural minerals.
Here are some tips on how to take care after your BB Glow appointment -
- Avoid excessive exercising and sweating before and after your treatment for 48 hours
