Experts Say These Are The Ways To Revive Dull Skin

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

If you are in your 30s to 40s, we have not-so-great news about your skin. In this decade, skin cells turn over at a much slower rate compared to someone in their teens. Dead skin cells are essentially useless debris on the surface of the skin that diffuses light and makes skin look dull. Here are 3 proven ways to resolve this. 1. EXFOLIATE Slough dead skin cells away by exfoliating regularly. Experts say exfoliating at night is better than during the day because it removes makeup and dirt that has accumulated, ensuring your skincare products penetrate properly. For more gentle exoliation, try a glycolic acid exfoliator such as Sleep Mode rather than abrasive face scrubs.   2. TRY A THULIUM LASER TREATMENT A thulium laser operates at the 1927nm wavelength that targets the upper part of the dermis, scrubbing unwanted pigmentation and sun damage. A true “fractional” treatment that produces thousands of microscopic columns in the skin, this method of treating dull skin promotes the creation of new, healthier, Continue Reading

5 Ways Botox Can Help You Avoid Cosmetic Surgery

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

When Botox was first introduced, everyone knew what it did, but just that no one likes to talk about it. Almost 2 decades later, Botox remains one of the most commonly done non-invasive cosmetic procedures today. Age prevention is now only one of the ways Botox is used. Expanding the dialogue of its growing list of uses, here are 5 ways Botox can help you avoid going under the knife: 1. Relax a gummy smile The dental people refer to this as “excessive gingival display”. Too much showing of the gum tissue above the top teeth makes people feel more self-conscious of their smile. Excess gum tissue can of course be removed (ouch), or you can opt for Botox injections to help relax the lip for a balanced grin. This is a quick fix, and is also relatively affordable, with each treatment lasting approximately 3 to 6 months. 2. Brow lift Botox can do more than just smoothen your forehead furrows. Botox browlift or brow botox refers to allows you Continue Reading

Hair loss is more common than most people think, with research showing that a third of all women will face some hair loss issues at some point in their lives. For men, by the age of 35, two thirds will experience some degree of hair loss and by the age of 50, a whopping 85 percent will have significantly thinning hair! Whether you are at the start or right in the middle of it, here are 3 smart treatments that will help save your hair.   1. Hair Topicals If the issue right now is less of a thinning problem but more of a frizzy and damaged hair concern, tame your Tina Turner mane with hair topicals. Try hair fillers and botox to give you smoother, straighter more healthy-looking hair. Rest assured that there are no needles or actual botox involved – in fact it is completely non-invasive and rather like applying hair serum. But the idea is similar – like botox and fillers for the face designed to remove Continue Reading

Lip Service – All The Ways To Enhance Your Pout

If we were to look to some celebrities for inspiration, things can get a little confusing. Take Kylie Jenner, for example, one of the youngest ever billionaires who first rose to stardom when she had lip fillers injected at the age of 17 (okay, and also when she tried to remove Kylie Minogue from her first name rights). Sometime last year, Kylie announced that she had all her lip fillers removed, only to have them filled back again less than two months later.   HOW OUR LIPS AGE Our lips are the most plump during our teens and start to lengthen and lose some definition as we depart from these “golden years”. The skin of the lips gradually thin out and fine lines appear over the lip borders. These are known as “smoker’s lines” but they also occur in people who do not smoke. If that doesn’t sound bad enough, here’s more. The corner of the mouth starts to turn down south, which makes a person look upset even when Continue Reading

Tired of dull, lacklustre skin and no amount of moisturizing or facials seem to help? A spotless, beaming complexion is just beneath the surface of your skin and your skin doctor might just be able to tease it out. Chemoexfoliation, more commonly known as the chemical peel, is a method of using exfoliative chemical agents that quick and uniform peeling of the skin to a desired depth. The aim of this is to peel the skin to address a variety of skin woes, but most popularly done to smoothen out lines and brighten the skin. By removing dead skin cells on the surface of skin, chemical peels improve lines, acne, pigments, and rapidly reveal baby smooth skin. Until the 1990s, chemical peels have been one of the most commonly performed non-invasive cosmetic skin treatments, but deep peels have largely been supplanted with the invention of skin lasers. Despite this, superficial peels have actually gone forward and proliferated in popularity.   THE NO-PEEL NEW AGE PEELS If the mention of chemical Continue Reading
