Road test: Danne Montague-King Alkaline Wash & Body Enzyme
Aim? To ditch "bacne" and dead, pasty-looking skin, to reveal a clearer, glowing back.
Who's it suitable for? Anyone suffering congestion, breakouts, acne or folliculitis.
What happens? The treatment is performed in two stages. First, an alkaline wash is applied which takes the pH of the skin from about 5.6 to 12 in less than three minutes. This helps to remove the acne-causing bacteria in the hair shaft, which will prevent inflammation and remove dead cell build-up on the surface layer. The second stage is enzyme therapy, which, according to Debbie Dickson, Australian director of Danné Montague King, "rebuilds, strengthens and regenerates a stronger, firmer, tissue." As Dickson explains, the body enzyme product does this by increasing the circulatory and lymphatic system, as well as stimulating cellular enzyme functions assisting growth metabolism. What this means for your skin's appearance? The product breaks down cell build up, smoothes and refines. This product is left to dry for around 30 minutes before removing. After this stage, a gel (Beta Gel) designed to assist the immune system is applied, as well as a moisturising cream.
Recommended number of treatments? Four to eight treatments, with weekly or fortnightly ones for the first two months.
Cost? From $150
The bottom line: "A facial for your back is an incredibly relaxing experience. The day after the treatment I noticed my skin felt a little rubbery, but this quickly improved. And after continued visits, I noticed a definite improvement in my back's skin tone and clarity. It's a great thing to have done at the end of winter in preparation for back-baring summer tops." — Bree, Your Beauty Spot beauty editor
