Beauty Treatments Under 60 Minutes That Can Change Your Skin

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

Party season is approaching, and whilst most of us are looking forward to that big holiday or party, some of us might be thinking of having something done to undo the toil that work or stress has done to our appearances first. Here are the best no-nonsense treatments that topped our list because of their amazing abilities to change the skin in less than 60 minutes.   HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS Age and weight loss may rob the face of its youthful volume and leave it looking tired and old. Those with sunken cheeks and strong nasolabial lines can restore volume to their midfaces with volume high definition lift, which places hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers strategically in the cheeks, giving the midface a much-desired natural-looking lift and restore subtle, youthful curves at the same time. But that’s not all. HA fillers can be used to augment a flat nose bridge, a short or receding chin and even fill in deeply etched wrinkles. These natural fillers are biodegradable – your body breaks Continue Reading

The Facelifts Of Tomorrow – Three Skin Treatments That Will Reduce Your Skin Age Drastically

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

The anti-aging treatments of tomorrow will relax wrinkles, smoothen out fine lines, firm the skin and even fill up lines on the face. Check out these 3 powerful doctor-approved treatments that will reduce your skin age drastically.   1. YOUTH SAVANT A youth miracle in a needle, they say. Youth Savant contains polynucleotides (PN), the building blocks of DNA required for cellular survival in our skin. Purified from salmon germ cells, our skin uses these DNA building blocks to build a natural resilience, resulting in younger, more youthful skin. Normal skin is not only subject to normal aging processes, it is also subject to inflammatory processes and damage brought on by the environment. Youth Savant contains PNs which aid in wound healing, and anti-inflammatory effects. One can expect improved skin elasticity, hydration, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, enhanced skin repair and normalization abilities, as well as improved skin tone and texture.   2. FOREVER YOUNG BBL Move over IPL, the BBL is the new multi-tasking light treatment for our skin Continue Reading

The Best Treatments For Melasma

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

Melasma refers to patchy hyperpigmentation usually on both cheeks, the bridge of the nose, the chin, the upper lip and even the forehead. Less commonly, melasma can also occur on the body such as the neck or the arms (sun-exposed areas). This pattern of hyperpigmentation is related to sun exposure and is also hormonal-related, meaning it is commonly seen in pregnancy and hormonal therapies (such as the oral contraceptive). Those who have it will know the melasma is notoriously difficult to treat, because it is difficult to remove the instigating hormonal factors. In this article, SKIN gathers the top doctor-approved treatments for melasma.   STEP #1 STAY OUT OF THE SUN Melasma is often worse in summer and improves in winter. Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure from the sun stimulates pigment cells in the skin (melanocyes) which produces too much pigment. Avoid being out in the sun deliberately, and if you are exposed, ensure you wear protective clothing such as a wide-brimmed hat and apply a good sunscreen.   STEP #2 Continue Reading

5 MISTAKES THAT ARE AGING YOUR EYES

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

The eyes are windows to the soul, but they are also giveaway signs of aging. Find out about the biggest mistakes people make to their eyelids that age them at a faster rate and how to tone up your gaze.   1. RUBBING YOUR EYES Rubbing your eyes is usually therapeutic – it helps to soothe dry eyes or relieve an itch! But rubbing the delicate skin around the eyes can break tiny blood vessels, causing dark eye circles to look worse.   2. FORGETTING THE SHADE FACTOR The skin around the eyes is just as susceptible to damage by the sun’s harmful UV rays which prematurely age and damage the eyelids. Look for sunglasses that guard against at least 99% of UVA and UVB rays. Some people may find polarized glasses clearer but note that these do not come with full UV protection.   3. NOT ENOUGH QUALITY SLEEP It is not called beauty sleep for no reason. Lack of quality sleep deprives the body from repairing cellular damage. Continue Reading
