Summer is coming. A beautiful woman, wearing a floating open-back skirt, chic vest, beautiful sandals and slippers, with a beautiful and smooth skin to show the summer style. At the same time, a comprehensive [hair removal hurricane action" was carried out on his knees, lips, arms, and legs. But no matter which hair removal plan you use, you need to know some techniques so that you can remove the hair completely and make the skin more delicate and smooth. Exfoliation Leaves skin smoother and smoother. Exfoliation allows the hair to completely detach from the hair follicles and help them have the same growth cycle. The stem will remain smoother for a longer time because your scraper is in contact with the fine hair that is usually trapped under the dead skin. Use a product containing salicylic acid or fruit enzymes to get better results. Remove oil There are various reasons why you should use a scrub to thoroughly clean before removing hair. Exfoliation removes the oil that builds up on the skin, allowing you to remove hair more effectively. With a brush Interested in a brush that looks a bit rough on the barber's counter? This tool is often called a bristle brush, mainly used on the face of your boyfriend or husband- It doesn't mean you can't use it! With the use of repair gels and brushes, you can really achieve the most efficient hair removal. Choose razor The effect of each razor is definitely different. Women with dry skin should use a razor with moisturizing function; those with more sensitive skin should choose a razor that is specifically for this problem. For a smoother look, always select a razor with multiple blades. Reverse hair removal To ensure that the hair is sufficiently wetted before depilation, we need to remove the hair against the direction of hair growth, and it is best to use a new razor each time. We know that this sounds a bit wasteful, but if it means reducing the number of hair removals, why not? If the scraped hair will make you uncomfortable, it is suggested to use a household hair removal device, or go to the beauty salon for hair removal treatment. Post-hair removal care After hair removal treatment, as the skin becomes dry and sensitive, it is recommended to apply aloe vera gel to the treatment area to moisturize the skin. Choose the body lotion of soy extract To suppress hair regeneration and moisturize hair, use a body lotion containing soy extract. Some studies have shown that this substance delays the growth of hair and shrinks the diameter axis of the hair, which sounds like a worthwhile approach. Change eating habits Reducing the number of hair removals can be as simple as changing some eating habits! We reduce the intake of refined carbohydrates and increase the intake of vitamin B6. So add more meat and fish to your diet; vegetarians can try some foods like bananas, cabbage, broccoli, watermelon and carrots. White sugar hair removal method If you think that razor removal is too old-fashioned, and waxing or laser sounds too painful, try a research method such as sugar removal. Sugar is called a natural laser and will greatly reduce hair growth if used in conjunction with hair removal.

When you you hear the term skin-care routine, chances are, products like like cleanser, retinol, sunscreen, and maybe a serum or two come to mind. But as the worlds of beauty and technology continue to intersect, the possibilities for our at-home routines are also expanding. Increasingly, skin treatments previously only available in a professional's office are making their way into our medicine cabinets via a slew of high-tech tools and devices. One buzzy example is LED light therapy, which has been said to help with a laundry list of skin issues, including everything from acne and inflammation to fine lines and even wound healing. And though it might be trending, LED light therapy does, in fact, live up to the hype - whether you try it at home or seek out a professional. But how does LED light therapy really work? What sort of skin benefits can it actually provide? And are LED light masks safe for at-home use? We asked board-certified dermatologists to break down exactly what you need to know about LED light therapy. What exactly is LED light therapy and what does it do? LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes different wavelengths of infrared light to help treat various skin issues such as acne, fine lines, and wound healing. It was actually first developed for clinical use by NASA back in the nineties to help heal astronauts' skin wounds - though research on the topic continues to grow, and support, its many benefits. "Without a doubt, visible light can have powerful effects on the skin, especially in high-energy forms, such as in lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) devices," says Daniel Belkin MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in New York City. LED (which stands for light-emitting diode) is a "lower energy form," in which the light is absorbed by the molecules in the skin, which in turn "alters the biologic activity of nearby cells." In slightly simpler terms, LED light therapy "uses infrared light to achieve different effects on the skin," explains Michele Farber, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Philadelphia, PA. During a treatment, "wavelengths in the visible light spectrum penetrate the skin to varying depths to exert biologic effect." The different wavelengths are key, because this is "what helps make this method effective, as they penetrate the skin at varying depths and stimulate different cellular targets to help repair skin," explains Ellen Marmur, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City. What this means is that the LED light essentially alters the activity of skin cells in order to produce a variety of agreeable outcomes, depending on the color of the light in question - of which there are multiple, and none of which are cancerous (because they do not contain UV rays).

The Difference between IPL & Diode Laser Hair Removal The majority noting the effectiveness of the diode laser as opposed to the IPL as the main difference, but where does this come from? We take a look at what you need to know about laser hair removal technologies as it`s important to understand the differences between the diode lasers and IPLs. Understanding Laser Hair Removal Technologies The key principle behind laser hair removal is matching specific wavelengths of light and pulse duration to a specific target, namely the melanin in a hair follicle whilst avoiding the surrounding tissue area. Melanin is the naturally occurring pigment in our skin and hair associated with colour. Understanding Diode Laser Hair Removal The key to successful laser hair removal is to deliver high energy into the skin to be selectively absorbed by the melanin surrounding the follicle whilst protecting the surrounding tissue. Diode lasers use a single wavelength of light that has a high absorption rate in melanin. At the same time it incorporates skin cooling to protect the surface of the skin. As the melanin heats up it destroys the root and blood flow to the follicle and disables the hair permanently. Diode lasers with an ability to delivery high frequency low fluence pulses can be safely used on all skin types Understanding IPL Laser Hair Removal IPL (intense pulsed light) technology is technically not a laser treatment. It uses a broad spectrum of light with many wavelengths which leads to unfocused energy around the hair and skin area. As a result there is much wastage of energy and less selective absorption in the follicle resulting in less effective destruction of the hair. Using broadband light also increases potential for side effects, particularly if integrated cooling is not used. What`s the Difference between Diode Laser Hair Removal and IPL? The treatment methods outlined above mean that, typically, IPL technology will require more regular and long-term treatments for hair reduction, while diode lasers may work more effectively with less discomfort (with integrated cooling) and will treat more skin and hair types than the IPL which is best suited to light skin and dark hair individuals.

The HydraFacial is one of the most popular in-office facial treatments right now. It's so popular, that one is performed every 15 seconds around the world. That stat alone is impressive, but the treatment's become the go-to facial for celebs, your co-worker, and Instagram mutuals because it targets many of the most common skincare concerns like dryness and signs of aging with little to no side effects. For those unfamiliar, the HydraFacial is a medical-grade resurfacing treatment that clears out your pores and hydrates your skin. It's offered across the country at licensed medical professional facilities, or where a certified HydraFacial esthetician is present. The four-step treatment includes cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, and hydrating the skin with serums that are infused into pores with the HydraPeel Tip, a pen-like device. "The serums have anti-aging and antioxidant properties and are tailored to address the specific needs of the patients," says Dr. Anna Guanche, a board-certified dermatologist based in Los Angeles. We had two experts break down everything you need to know about getting a HydraFacial, from what the treatment does to your skin to how much it will cost you. What Happens During the HydraFacial? The HydraFacial treatment starts with cleansing by removing the dead skin cells and excess sebum from the skin. Next, a mix of salicylic and glycolic acids is applied to the skin to break up any dirt and oil that's clogging pores. Then, the HydraPeel Tip is used to essentially vacuum out blackheads, dirt, oil, and impurities, while hydrating, plumping, and nourishing serums are simultaneously applied to the skin. What Are the HydraFacial's Skincare Benefits? A HyraFacial treatment can improve your skin in a ton of ways. Its many benefits include a more hydrated, bright, plump, and clear complexion. Plus, it can also improve signs of aging. "The treatment reduces fine lines and wrinkles, increases firmness, evens tone, texture, and brown spots, as well as reducing enlarged pores," says Dr. Guanche. What Are the Side Effects of the HydraFacial? One of the many reasons why the HydraFacial is so popular is because there are minimal side effects, and essentially no downtime post-treatment. Dr. Ellen Marmur, New York City-based dermatologist and founder of Marmur Metamorphosis, says to expect a little redness immediately following the treatment, but it will quickly subside. "Following the treatment, you'll want to let your skin rest and soak up all of the benefits of the facial for the rest of the day," Dr. Marmur says. "You can wear makeup the next morning and resume your normal routine." Dr. Guanche agrees that the risks are low, but warns that it's possible to experience irritation from the customized serums if you have reactive skin. Who Should Get the Hydrafacial? Everyone! One of HydraFacial's biggest draws is that the treatment is suitable for virtually any age and skin type - save for a few exceptions. "This treatment is nice for teenagers with acne, adults with pimples, wrinkles, and hyper-pigmentation, and older patients with sun damage and even flaky pre-cancerous spots (as part of more serious treatments)," explains Dr. Marmur. "Although beneficial to many skin types, those with active rashes, sunburns, or rosacea, along with pregnant patients, should abstain from this treatment."

What is LED Light Therapy? LED Technology is based on semiconductor technology, there is a significant difference between lasers and LEDs is the way the light energy is delivered [optical power output (OPD)]. The peak power output of LEDs is measured in milliwatts, whereas that of lasers is measured in watts. LEDs provide a gentler delivery of the same wavelengths of light compared to lasers and at a substantially lower energy output. LEDs do not deliver enough power to damage tissues and do not have the same risk of accidental eye damage that lasers do. In short: LED devices use color light therapy (UV-free - UV wavelengths are below 400nm) in specific wavelengths via tiny LED bulbs to increase blood circulation and promote collagen production, skin healing and acne reduction. In the same way that plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into plant tissue, LEDs can trigger natural intracellular photo-biochemical reactions. Light is measured in wavelengths and is expressed in units of nanometers (nm). Different wavelengths have different chromophores and can have various effects on tissue. Wavelengths are often referred to using their associated color and include: Blue (400-470 nm) Green (470-550 nm) Red (630-700 nm) NIR (Near Infra Red) (700-1200) lights

Nonsurgical skin tightening procedures are cosmetic treatments to change the look of your face and your stomach. These procedures are far less invasive than surgical options, like facelifts and tummy tucks, and some people claim they can produce similar results. There are also fewer complication risks, it`s less expensive, and recovery is simple. These treatments are based on newer technologies. That means that there`s still a gap in research to understand how effective they are, and what the long-term side effects might be. This article will cover different types of noninvasive skin tightening treatments, what the research says, and things to consider before you try it. Types of skin tightening treatments When you`re born, your skin is rich with proteins called elastin and collagen. These proteins give your skin structure and elasticity. As you age, your body`s production of these proteins slows down. As a result, your skin starts to lose its elasticity. Thanks to gravity, pollution exposure, stress, and the hundreds of movements that your facial muscles make every day, your skin might start to appear stretched or saggy. Other factors, such as pregnancy and weight loss, can also contribute to stretch marks and sagging skin. Nonsurgical skin tightening treatments target areas of your skin that have become loose and stimulate collagen production underneath that skin. The two main types of treatment are: in-office procedures performed by a trained provider at-home devices you can use to give yourself treatment In-office skin tightening procedures Radiofrequency (Thermalift, Thermage, and Exilis) Thermalift was the first technology to use the concept of [waking up" or restoring lost collagen. Thermalift uses a device to apply controlled radio waves to the area of your skin that you would like to tighten. The procedure is done with topical or no anesthesia, and no recovery time is required. Thermage requires one treatment session, but some people benefit from multiple sessions. Other types of radiofrequency treatment usually require multiple sessions to see results. Whether you get one treatment or several, results are only slightly noticeable right away, and typically take 4 months to take full effect. Intense pulsed light/radiofrequency (Velashape) Velashape is a device that claims to target and shrink fat cells. It uses a handheld device to send infrared waves into your skin layers to break apart fat deposits. Radiofrequency waves are also used. This procedure doesn`t require anesthesia. Several appointments are usually recommended to get the most visible results. At-home devices Ultrasound therapy Ultrasound skin tightening uses ultrasound waves sent deep into your skin to stimulate collagen production. Handheld devices that use this technology can be purchased online and at some beauty supply retailers. These devices aren`t cheap and need to be used consistently if you expect results. Without the expertise of a trained provider, it`s possible that you won`t find these devices effective.

Uses and Benefits of LED Light therapy LED light therapy can help treat a variety of skin problems, including: 1. acne 2. dermatitis 3. dull skin 4. eczema 5. psoriasis 6. rosacea 7. scarring 8. signs of aging, including wrinkles and age spots 9. sun damage 10. wound healing 11. other inflammatory skin conditions One of the main benefits of LED light therapy is its safety record. According to research, LED light therapy has an excellent safety profile. It does not contain UV rays, which can be harmful to the skin. Therefore, LED therapy is suitable for regular use. Unlike chemical peels or laser therapy, LED light therapy does not cause burns. The treatment is also safe for all types and colors of skin.

Those entertaining the idea of a face lift need not go under the knife or splurge on a Botox procedure when there are non-invasive (and minimally-invasive) treatments that can provide a natural and curiously high-tech alternative to beauty treatments that improve the colour, texture and firmness of the facial skin while treatment any specific aesthetic concerns one might have. Here are five non-invasive treatments to try instead of Botox- 1. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) A non-invasive therapeutic treatment, also known as photofacial, that uses light energy to target certain areas of the skin - gently heating up unwanted cells, reducing dark spots, skin discolorations, and rejuvenate the cells while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. 2. Microcurrent facial therapy A non-invasive low-voltage electric-therapy that stimulates the facial muscles and encourage the increase of anti-ageing protection, collagen and elastin production for firmer and more defined skin. Much like a work-out for the face. 3. Ultherapy (HIFU) A non-invasive high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy that uses non-ionizing ultrasonic waves to heat up the muscle and fat tissues underneath the dermis to increase the flow of blood or lymph, promote collagen production and give the face a natural lift. 4. Mesotherapy A minimal-invasive technique that uses a micro-needle to inject vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant-based extracts and hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate and tighten skin, promote elastin and collagen production and in some cases, removes excess fat. 5. Cosmetic Acupuncture A minimally-invasive facial therapy that uses hair-fine thin needles to gently puncture specific pressure points in the face to boost blood circulation, decrease redness, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles, and other aesthetic benefits.

How to Banish Under Eye Bags While being tired or sleep deprivation is mostly associated with the occurrence of eye bags, it isn`t always the main cause. In most cases, eye puffiness is due to aging and gravity. The fat in the lower eyelid sags as we age, with the gravitational pull weighing down on your skin and causing more of your facial tissues to droop. Natural collagen and elastin production also slows down with age, causing the skin to sag and wrinkle. The muscles and the supportive tissues around the eye, furthermore, weaken and are not able to hold up the skin as tightly. On top of it, the skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of the body, making it more prone to aging and damage. Other contributing factors Apart from aging and gravity, other factors can also contribute to the appearance of eye bags. Some of them may also make the existing puffiness more visible or prominent. These include: 1. Fluid retention (can be due to excessive salt intake or after waking up) 2. Allergies 3. Lack of sleep 4. Smoking 5. Stress/environmental sensitivities 6. Genetics (under-eye bags and dark circles can run in families) 7. Adrenal deficiency What can help with banishing under eye bags? 1. Reduce your salt intake – Eating a salty meal can cause your body to retain water, contributing to puffiness in both your face and body. The area around the eyes is susceptible to this because of its thin and delicate skin. 2. Manage your allergies – Try to avoid allergens or your allergy triggers when possible. You can reduce your symptoms with an antihistamine or over-the-counter allergy medication. Talk to your healthcare provider about other prevention and management strategies. 3. Try changing your sleeping position – Do you sleep on your side or your stomach? Gravity might have something to do with that puffiness as it can cause fluid to accumulate around your eyes. Try sleeping on your back or adding an extra pillow to elevate your head. 4. Limit your alcohol intake – Alcohol dehydrates your skin, which can then cause the skin under the eye to become weak, flabby, and puffy. It also disrupts your normal sleep rhythm, making you restless and tired after waking up. This can also contribute to dark circles under the eyes. 5. Don`t smoke – Smoking dries out your skin and exacerbates the issue of under eye puffiness. The toxins in the cigarette smoke, furthermore, damage collagen and elastin, making your skin more susceptible to damage and premature aging. 6. Use a cool compress – Ease puffiness with a cool compress from cucumber slices, chilled spoons, or tea bags. You can also use a damp washcloth and place it around your eyes with some gentle pressure. If you want to solve the eye bags by beauty device as soon as possible, we have a recommendation: Choicy EMS Vibration Electric Eye Beauty Device · Prevent fine lines · Reduce eye puffiness · Reduce dark circles · Relieve eye fatigue · Increase the absorption of creams

Eyelid surgery, which is also referred to as blepharoplasty, is a procedure that can help individuals look younger and enhance the appearance of their eyelids. There are many individuals who choose to have the procedure to remove bags in the lower eyelids. Not only can it help individuals achieve a younger look, but eyelid surgery can also help those who have medical conditions that prevent their eyelids from functioning normally. Who are Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery? Those who want eyelid surgery should be in generally good health. Good candidates will also have realistic goals and a positive outlook about the results. At your consultation. What are My Options? At our office you can opt to have a lower blepharoplasty (performed on the lower eyelid) or an upper blepharoplasty (performed on the upper eyelid.) These procedures can be undergone separately or together for a thorough and dramatic rejuvenative result. What is the Procedure Like? Your doctor can provide you local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. During the procedure, openings are made just below the lash line of the lower lid or along the natural creases of the upper. The surgeon will remove excess fat and skin, proceeding to seal the openings. This process lasts for approximately one or two hours. Aftercare and Recovery Following Eyelid Surgery It is necessary to follow all post operative instructions. We advise taking a one- or two-week hiatus from work and/or school to allow for proper healing, which should resolve completely within seven to ten days. To facilitate the healing process, you should avoid any strenuous activity for approximately three weeks after the procedure.

Is Your Sleep Sabotaging Your Skin? We all know that sleep is crucial to our skin and overall health. Our bodies go into regeneration mode while we doze off, replacing damaged cells and producing new ones. It also gives us energy the next day, as well as helps us focus better and think more clearly. But is it also true that the way we sleep (Sleeping Mistakes) can sabotage our skin? Well, the answer depends on your sleeping habits. Lack of sleep hinders important processes from happening, causing you to feel tired or cranky the next day. The effects can also show up on your face, leading to puffiness and under-eye circles. Sleep deprivation, furthermore, is linked to aging skin and accelerates aging, study suggests. Fortunately, you can tweak or change your sleeping habits in a way that benefits your skin. Below are the ways that can sabotage your skin while you`re sleeping and what to do to avoid them. Sleeping on dirty pillowcases On the surface, your pillowcases might look clean even after several nights of sleep. The truth is, however, dirt, oil, dead skin, sweat, saliva, and residue of your nighttime skincare products accumulate on the fabric. While it may not look so concerning on the surface, feel and compare them to the texture of a fresh pillowcase. You are sure to notice some differences. Just change your pillowcases at least once a week. And if you have oily skin, change or wash them more often. When it comes to pillows, if you have those types that can be washed, wash them two to three times a year. If not, you can air or dry your pillows out in the sun. Replace them every one to two years. Forgetting to wash face before sleeping Your face can become clogged with oil, dirt, and other impurities throughout the day. These, along with makeup and other skincare product residues, can irritate your skin and contribute to acne or premature signs of aging. This is why no matter how tired you are, you need to wash your face before sleeping. A single night of forgetting to wash your face won`t exactly lead to disaster, but don`t make it a habit. This is especially true if you wear lots of make-up or spend most of your days outdoors. Use a gentle cleanser or a formula that is right for your skin and wash your face at least twice a day (morning and night), or after sweating or working out. Sleeping on your side or stomach Side sleeping is preferred by most adults and has a lot of health benefits. The only drawback is it causes unwanted creases on the sides of the face, as the skin is pressed against the pillowcase. With sleeping on your stomach, the face is also smashed or pressed against the pillowcase, which creates friction on the skin. Sleeping on your back doesn`t put any pressure on eit her side of the face, but not everyone likes this position. In such cases, you may consider replacing cotton pillowcases with silk or satin ones. Both are gentler on the skin and allow it to glide smoothly against the fabric.

So often, people think that a radically improved appearance must go hand-in-hand with going under the knife. In reality, a plethora of non-surgical options-ranging from at-home chemical peels and PRP microneedling to fillers and lasers-exist to help reverse the signs of aging. To save you from endless research and booking the wrong treatment for your desired benefits, we chatted with a few dermatologists about their favorite non-surgical anti-aging treatments. Keep reading to discover what they are, along with which you might want to book for yourself. AT-HOME CHEMICAL PEELS Before booking an appointment with your esthetician or dermatologist, know that you have an option that you can do at home. That`s where at-home chemical peels come into play. While they sound like serious business, these products feature significantly lower percentages of the acids used in in-office treatments. As such, they`re totally safe for at-home use, so long as you follow the directions. [I am seeing some truly innovative products that can be used at home," says board-certified dermatologist Dendy Engelman, noting that they`re beneficial in maintaining in-office treatments, as well as indulging in complexion care during a time where making in-office appointments is less of a priority due to safety. [For example, instead of a TCA peel by your dermatologist or esthetician, I like Glo Skin Beauty`s GlyPro AHA Resurfacing Peel ($85). This is a medical-grade peel that is safe to use at home." Best of all, the peel comes with all of the products and accessories you need to give yourself a top-notch, professional-grade peel, all without leaving your home. PRP MICRO-NEEDLING While sticking teeny-tiny needles into your skin may seem anything but natural, the process is actually one of the most natural anti-aging approaches there is, for it uses the patients` blood plasma to create jaw-dropping results. [Microneedling with PRP utilizes fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin," explains cosmetic dermatologist Michele Green, noting that the micro-injuries result in cell turnover, which leads to a boost in collagen production as the body goes through the natural healing process. [PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) helps to rebuild the connective tissue as it contains powerful growth factors that stimulate collagen synthesis directly from your blood." It`s these growth factors that work to heal and regenerate healthy, ultimately younger-looking tissue. Green says that patients can expect an improvement in texture, firmness, fine lines, superficial acne scars, and even large pores` appearance. BOTOX Botox is an injectable, but it`s not a filler. Often confused, Botox (aka botulinum toxin) is a neuromodulator designed to freeze facial movement in the injection site temporarily. While that might sound scary, it`s actually super beneficial because by freezing a wrinkle-prone area (like the forehead, between the eyes, or in the crows-feet, outer-eye region), the patient will still be able to express themselves, only without deepening the lines. So long as you get Botox injections from a skilled injector (i.e., a dermatologist), Green says that you can look forward to weakened facial movements and less noticeable lines overall. While Botox is best known for wrinkle maintenance, many dermatologists are using it elsewhere. In Green`s office, for example, a popular use is in the masseter (jaw) area. [It promotes facial slimming," Green says, noting that the effects of Botox injections can last three to four months on average. FILLERS Another type of injectables, dermal fillers, exist to increase volume in areas of the face. [Juvederm Voluma, Restylane, and Sculptra are all used to re-volumize the face and reduce facial lines," explains Green. [These fillers are indicated for injection into the dermal layer of skin for correction of moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds, cheek augmentation, and correction of age-related midface contour deficiencies." Upon injection, patients can expect the results to last between six and 12 months, depending on how much filler is used. Then there`s Juvederm Volbella and Restylane Silk and Kysse, all of which are used for the lips. [Lip augmentation with dermal fillers, like Juvederm and Restylane are extremely popular in my office," Green shares. [These hyaluronic acid fillers can be used to replace volume loss, augment thin lips that occur as we age, or enhance lips as a whole." LASER SKIN TREATMENTS Like fillers, a variety of laser skin treatments exist. The most popular, however, is Fraxel. [Fraxel is the `Magic Eraser` and the gold standard treatment for improving skin tone and texture," Green explains, noting that it`s FDA-approved to help restore skin to a more youthful appearance. [It helps restore the skin to its original, perfect texture and achieves smoother, fresher, younger-looking skin, improved tone and texture, smaller pores, erasing unwanted brown spots, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and surgical scars, and reduces fine line lines and wrinkles." In short, it`s life-changing in the realm of anti-aging non-surgical skincare treatments.

One facial treatment may go a long way in providing your skin with what it needs to stay healthy and looking radiant, especially in sunny Singapore. However, what happens after you have a facial? We introduce toners, sunscreen or serums to our skincare routine to protect and nourish our skin with ingredients to help it look its best. Similarly, your facial treatment does not just stop after you`ve had the session. Depending on your skin goals, your therapist or dermatologist may advise you on your next steps for you to achieve your desired results, if any. Besides arranging your next facial appointment, the aftercare advice that they give is just as important for your skin to restore its health. Impact of Aftercare on Effectiveness of Facial Treatments People in Singapore book a facial treatment for all kinds of reasons, be it for maintenance or to tackle a specific skin problem like acne or wrinkles. During the session, your skin will be densely cleaned to improve the absorption of skincare ingredients that are meant to help alleviate your skin issues. The main purpose of aftercare of facial treatments include: 1. Maximising the benefits of a facial treatment By taking care of the aftereffects of the treatment on your skin, you are giving it time to adapt to the treatments and ingredients, thereby boosting the effectiveness of the treatment in restoring your skin`s health. 2. Helping you reach your skin goals faster Different facial treatments offer different results, and this varies depending on your skin concerns, skin type and goals. Much like taking medications and getting on bedrest when you fall ill, the aftercare helps your skin get better. The more you keep to it, the sooner you will see your desired results. 3. Preventing overstimulation or lingering side effects Some facial treatments may involve procedures that may overstimulate your skin, such as extractions. The aftercare here plays an important role - as with all other facials - as it helps in reducing the side effects of such facial treatments as much as possible, so that you may achieve your desired skin goals. Aftercare Tips after a Facial Treatment Here are some basic skincare habits you can incorporate immediately after a facial treatment for longer-lasting effects. 1. Avoid putting on makeup or other facial products for at least 6 hours after your treatment. Your skin contains lots of pores to help it [breathe", and applying makeup or piling on facial products like moisturisers or serums right after a facial not only undermines the effects of the facial, but will also clog your pores and congest your skin. 2. Avoid picking at your skin or use abrasive skincare products like scrubs for at least 72 hours after your treatment. It is normal to experience slight redness after a facial, or itching after an extraction. However, your therapist will apply light cream or moisturiser to calm your skin and help it heal. It`s important to let your skin repair itself after undergoing a facial treatment. Touching your face or scrubbing your skin will worsen it. 3. Stay away from direct heat for up to 48 hours after your treatment. Direct heat can include sunbeds, saunas or hot spas. It is best to avoid suntanning on the beach right after a facial as well, as your skin is completely raw and vulnerable during this time, and may not be well-protected against the sun`s harmful UV rays. 4. Only go for one facial or skincare treatment at a time. This is crucial, regardless of the areas of your skin that are treated. Besides letting your skin breathe, setting a reasonable window of time between facial treatments of at least 48 hours is important. This can help your skin adapt to the first facial treatment and allow it to repair and heal properly before the next treatment. 5. Refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol for up to 72 hours after your treatment. The smoke from cigarettes contain particles that can clog your pores, and after a facial treatment your facial pores are almost always larger and can easily trap smoke particles. This can worsen your skin condition even if you have just had a treatment. Similarly, alcohol contains compounds that can affect your skin and speed up the aging process. Stay clear of harmful substances after a facial treatment and the benefits of your facial will last longer. On top of applying the above-mentioned tips, here are some additional skincare advice that you can consider to maintain healthy-looking skin in the long run! ● Continue your skincare routine: cleanse, tone and moisturise. ● Don`t sleep with makeup on. ● Regularly hydrate yourself with 6 to 8 glasses of water per day. ● Maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Takeaway Skincare doesn`t just stop at a facial - it continues even after you have had one, and aftercare certainly helps in prolonging the benefits of your facial for your skin.

Back Acne, Pigmentation, and Scarring: What Can Help? Acne doesn`t just occur on the face. It can also appear on other areas of the body, such as the shoulder and the back (also known as bacne). And just like the spots and pimples that form on your face, back acne can also leave hyperpigmentation, redness, and scars that can make you feel self-conscious. Can lifestyle changes get rid of back acne and scarring? Making positive lifestyle changes and using certain medications can help treat back acne and reduce pigmentation and scarring. Here are some things that can help: 1. Exfoliate – Just be gentle when doing so. You can use a scrub with exfoliating ingredients like salicylic acid to get rid of the extra dirt and oils and reduce dead skin cells that could clog your pores. 2. Try benzoyl peroxide – This ingredient kills acne-causing bacteria and can help clear mild or moderate back acne. You can use foaming washes with benzoyl peroxide to reduce flares and control back acne. These are available over-the-counter in varying strengths. You can also benefit from letting the product sit on your skin for two to five minutes and then rinse it off afterward. 3. Shower after working out – Don`t let the dirt and sweat linger on your skin after a sweat session. Shower as soon as you can and change clothes if you get extra sweaty while working out. You should also wash your workout clothes after each use or wear. 4. Protect skin from the sun – Always wear a sunscreen when going out. Choose a formula that is non-comedogenic, oil-free, with SPF of at least 30, and water-resistant. It is not true that sun rays will help clear acne. The truth is it can only worsen acne and darken your skin. 5. Keep hair off your back – If you have long hair, make sure to always put it in a bun or ponytail, especially when working out. It is also not advisable to let shampoo or conditioner run down your back, as they have ingredients that can clog pores. 6. Refrain from using anything that rubs against your back – Backpacks and other things that rub against your skin can cause irritation, contributing to acne or making existing ones worse. Switch to a handheld or shoulder bag.

What Are Those Tiny Bumps on Your Face? Most of us have a few small bumps on our faces. They may be due to breakouts, but they can also take in different forms, shapes, colors, and textures. These bumps are also mostly harmless, provided that they don`t bleed or change in color and size rapidly. Knowing what kind of bump you have can help you deal with them effectively. Here are the 5 most common bumps: 1. Inflamed acne or pimples These refer to pimples or breakouts that are red, painful, and swollen. In some cases, inflamed acne also has a visible center or a large white head that is filled with pus. It occurs when the sebum and skin cells keep accumulating, breaking through the pores under the skin surface. The body then fights the bacteria, leading to inflammation. Do take note that different types of acne can cause tiny bumps on your skin. Even non-inflamed ones like blackheads and whiteheads can also contribute to a rough skin texture. Inflamed pimples, however, occur deeper and can lead to hyperpigmentation and permanent scarring. What you can do: Make sure not to pick, pop, or squeeze your acne, as this can lead to further inflammation and a higher risk of scarring. Products with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide can help, as well as aesthetic treatments like facial, chemical peels, and laser treatments. 1. Microneedling pen – beneficial for occurring acne and acne scarring. It creates miniscule needle punctures in the skin`s top layers to help stimulate new collagen. 2. Intense pulse light system– uses a laser technology that can improve enlarged pores, skin redness, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. It gently heats the skin`s deeper layers to break up dirt and bacteria and stimulate collagen production. 2. Milia If you notice a few tiny (pearly) white bumps, particularly around the eye area, that won`t seem to go away even after cleansing or exfoliating your face, you probably have milia. These harmless cysts are very common in newborns, but adults can get them too. Milia occur when keratin or dead skin cells become trapped under the surface of the skin. These tiny bumps are also associated with some type of damage or trauma to the skin. This may include burn, blistering skin conditions and injuries, as well as long-term sun damage and prolonged use of steroid creams. What you can do: Milia are benign, so treatment is not really necessary. If you, on the other hand, are bothered by their appearance, you need to see a dermatologist or aesthetic doctor. Make sure not to squeeze or pop them at home, as milia require special tools or devices (laser or chemical peels) to remove safely. The use of topical exfoliants (with glycolic acid or retinol) can help prevent their occurrence. 3. Keratosis Pilaris Sometimes referred to as chicken skin, keratosis pilaris is a common condition that causes rough and tiny bumps on the skin. It usually occurs on the upper arms, thighs, and buttocks, but it can also appear on your face. Keratosis pilaris bumps usually don`t hurt or itch. They are also not an infection and are not contagious. What you can do: As keratosis pilaris is harmless, treatment isn`t usually necessary. If you, however, are concerned about the bumps, applying moisturizers with alpha hydroxy acid or AHA (like lactic acids) can promote cell turnover and soften the bumps. Using a mild cleanser is also important, as harsh formulas can dry your skin, which can then make keratosis pilaris worse. 4. Moles Also known as nevus, moles are common skin growths that often show up as small spots that can be brown, black, or flesh-colored. They appear in early childhood or young adulthood and have a lifespan of about 50 years. Moles usually stay the same size and shape, but they can change in color, fade away, or even disappear over time. What you can do: Most moles are normal and harmless. It is not recommended to remove a healthy mole, but if you want to, you need to see a doctor or dermatologist. It is also advisable to see your healthcare provider if you notice changes in your moles` color, size, thickness, or shape. 5. Allergic reaction In some cases, the tiny bumps on your face (or other areas of the body) may be due to an allergic reaction or skin sensitivity. These bumps or rashes may be red and itchy, or in severe cases, inflamed or swollen. Allergic reactions can be triggered by something that you ate, inhaled, or applied onto the skin. What you can do: Stop your exposure to the irritant or refrain from applying any product that caused the allergic reaction. Antihistamines can help with the itch, while an over-the-counter cortisone cream can help calm the redness and swelling. It is also advisable to use gentle cleansers and lukewarm water when washing your face. Take note: See a doctor if this happens often or if the reactions are painful or cover a large area of the body.

A home-based radiofrequency (RF) beauty device was found to be a safe and effective solution for skin rejuvenation, and could be more effective than commercially-available anti-ageing cosmetics, according to a new study. The finding was highlighted in a randomised, split-face clinical trial titled "Effectiveness of a Radiofrequency Device for Rejuvenation of Aged Skin at Home : A Randomized Split-Face Clinical Trial" published in the journal Dermatology and Therapy. "With the aging population and their consumption demands, approaches to reduce skin aging have gained significant attention. For decades, there has been an ongoing discussion on the optimal treatment of skin aging. Radiofrequency (RF) is an important ablation method and has become a popular means of rejuvenation, prevention of regional fat loss and contour restoration," wrote the researchers. To test their hypothesis, the team analysed the skins of 32 healthy Chinese women aged between 35 and 60 years with crow's feet in a randomised, controlled, split-faced trial over 12 weeks. Five repeated measurements were done, and the subjects also agreed to actively avoid sunlight exposure during the trial. One side of the subject's face would be randomly selected to be "the experimental side" and treated with the RF beauty device by the team, while the other was considered as control and treated with an anti-ageing cosmetic. The anti-ageing cosmetic contained aqua, glycerol, nicotinamide, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, Ceratonia siliqua (carob) fruit extract, sodium hyaluronate and tocopheryl acetate. The RF device was used with a gel containing various ingredients like glycerin, vitamin A palmitate, tocopherol, sodium hyaluronate, ceramide 6 II, Aloe barbadensis leaf extract, Salix alba bark extract, Chrysanthellum indicum extract and Perilla ocymoides leaf extract. The outcomes were measured using facial and neck signs, such as forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, the density of pigment spots, and ptosis. Lower scores correspond to better skin. The participants also had to undergo self evaluation. Findings For crow's feet, on the experimental facial side (with the usage of the RF device), the average roughness showed a statistically significant decrease after the second, fourth, eighth and 12th week. As for skin hydration, the mean values increased on both sides after the fourth, eighth and 12th week of treatment, but there was no significant difference between the two sides after treatment. Skin radiance by gloss value of light reflectance was measured using a Glossymeter GL200, with statistical improvements observed on both sides at the same timings. However, there was a significant increase in the experimental side compared to the control side. Explaining the results, the researchers showed that 12 weeks of continuous use of the cosmetics increased skin moisture content and radiance, improved wrinkles and reduced colour spots. However, wrinkles, stains and skin thickness improved more on the device side than on the control side. Although the gel on the device side contains more active ingredients than the cosmetic, the gel was only applied to the area when the device was used and washed off immediately after use. The purpose of the gel was to achieve even heat conduction. "In the future, it is essential to ensure that home beauty devices are sufficiently safe to protect consumers, and their effectiveness should be fully evaluated. In addition, future studies should include long-term follow-up to investigate the long-term efficacy of home beauty devices and the persistence of their effects," concluded the researchers. The firm Ecolite Wellbeing (GD) provided the home RF beauty devices for the study and funded the journal's Rapid Service Fee.

10 Dos and Don'ts for Beautiful Skin 1. The Golden Rule Do: Make sure you always (and we mean always) remove your makeup before hitting the sheets. The skin needs to breathe overnight. And makeup prevents that, as leaving it on overnight clogs the pores which may cause blemishes and/or blackheads. Don't possess a makeup remover? Just put some olive oil on a cotton pad and gently massage the oil onto your face to get rid of the makeup and dirt. Don't: Forget that exfoliation is indispensable. At least once or twice a week, exfoliate your skin to remove the layers of dead skin, sure to leave you with a more healthy glow and brighter skin. You can also apply a paste of walnut in powder form with yogurt to exfoliate your skin, as the antioxidants present in walnuts help remove dirt and promote radiant skin. 2. Sun and SkinDo: Apply sunscreen with SPF of at least 15 that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Since a lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems, you have to protect your skin from the sun. Make sure the label reads `noncomedogenic' or `nonacnegenic' so that the product does not tend to block pores. Don't: Skip the sunscreen, whether it's cloudy or cold outside (no excuses). If you're heading to a beach or around reflective surfaces like snow or ice, lather your skin up with some more sunscreen with SPF of at least 30. 3. You are What You EatDo: Keep a note of what you put on your plate. Eat fresh fruits, greens, sufficient protein and vitamins. A diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and sugar promotes radiant skin. Consider a low-sugar diet, which can keep insulin levels down, allowing cells to maintain a healthy balance."Don't: Eat spicy and fermented foods, salt, citrus fruits, fried food. Instead favour blander foods such as rice, oatmeal and applesauce", advises American author and Ayurvedic physician, Vasant Lad, in The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies. 4.

Apply a toner to help minimize oil production before heading out. Exfoliate after, and then apply shea butter or olive oil to moisturize the skin. 5. Beauty SleepDo: Try to sleep at least 8 hours every night. If you don't get enough shut eye, your skin gets tired just like you - it sags and you get bags. So don't risk it. You can also apply honey on your face twice or thrice a week to naturally soothe and heal your skin."Don't: Forget to wash and moisturize your face before going to bed", recommends Dr. Rahul Nagar, Dermatologist, Max Hospitals.

Benzoyl peroxide appears to be effective due to its antibacterial actions.Don't: Pop pimples because it can lead to more swelling, redness, and even scarring. Feel a pimple is on its way? Just clean the area with rose water, and place a chilled green tea bag for 10 minutes. Also, if you wear glasses or sunglasses, make sure you clean them frequently to keep oil from clogging the pores around your eyes and nose. 8. Go Back to Your RootsDo: Use Ayurvedic scrubs to nourish the skin, and help it breathe better.
