How To Look Younger Than Your Age Before You Hit 40

The Rolling Stones sang, “Time waits for no one… Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman’s face”. Did you know that collagen production within our skin starts to drop as early as during our twenties? Throw in the stress of work (and kids), women notice the first signs of ageing usually in the mid to late 20s or if you are lucky, during your 30s. We cannot stop the passing of time and the effect on our youthful faces, but that is exactly the reason why every woman should consider anti-aging treatments early – to delay it.   Tip #1 SAGGING SKIN Ever wondered why the most beautiful celebrities look like they never age? Apart from good genes, they do put in hard work to make sure the devastation of sagging skin never ever hits them. From your early 30s, start with FDA-approved skin tightening treatments annually to ensure the skin stays plump with collagen. Treatments such as Ultherapy and Thermage stimulate a good wound healing response Continue Reading

Eyes For Beauty – Tips For Revitalizing Tired Eyes

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

Some people focus on smoothening their facial scars and others seek treatments to tighten their saggy jawlines, but people with dark eye circles or droopy skin around the eyes will tell you treatment for the eyes do a little more than beauty for them. Nothing bothers one more than being perceived as being tired or unrested, when they actually feel quite well! For the ladies, years of applying eye makeup and mascara age the delicate skin around the eyes a little faster.   WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING FOR EYE BEAUTY Diligently applying eye creams to delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles may help, but there are other rejuvenative (and pre-juvenative) treatments you can also do.   1. “Smart” Eye Treatments Aesthetic technology advancements today mean that you can look forward to effective “eye-cials” or facials for the eyes. Those with droopy eyelid issues can try Golden Eye, which uses fractionated high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) or Genius Eye Firmx which uses radiofrequency energy to firm up skin periorbitally Continue Reading

This New Age Light Is Making Heads Turn

The quest to own and to keep a youthful glow is never-ending. So even celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Christie Brinkley have stuck to their diet of regular skin rejuvenation lasers. Speaking of lasers, red, swollen and burnt faces come to mind. But thanks to technology, good and effective treatments today do not necessarily need to have downtime. In fact, photo facials are all the rave now and the regular facial patron is looking for more than just comforting spa facial treatments – she wants the usual deep cleansing but is willing to trade a mild degree of discomfort (but not downtime) for some clinical skin benefits, depending on her skin needs.   BROADBAND LIGHT (BBL) IS NOW THE MUST-TRY LIGHT-BASED DEVICE Specifically, such facials are called photo facials, because rather than using lasers, light-based devices are used to brighten the skin and to address specific skin concerns, without any downtime. And contrary to chemical peels and microdermabrasion, BBL penetrates deeper into skin to target a variety of skin Continue Reading

Approaching or in your 40s and rethinking your beauty regime? This decade is about serious anti-aging treatments delaying the appearance of worsening of wrinkles and doing all you can to keep that jawline tight and sculpted. Without further ado, here are the real treatments that every woman (and man) in their 40s should check out.   COMMON SKIN WOES OF THE 40s Increasingly sagging jawlines, double chins, jowls, prominent nasolabial and marionette folds. The 40s is the curse of the lower face. Try looking at yourself in the mirror and using your fingers to reposition your skin to where it was in your late 20s or 30s. You might not have minded the slightly less V-shaped visage in your mid-thirties but come 40s and you wish you did something about it earlier.

Doctor-Approved Therapies To Control Greasy Skin

Tired of going through your facial blotting tissue or having zits that won’t quit? If that’s what’s happening to you, you are probably wondering what’s gone amiss in your skincare regimen. It is common knowledge that oily skin is mainly caused by excess sebum secretions by the sebaceous glands due to hormones and genetics (hence the detestable shine of oil on our faces) but there are other causes that exacerbate the issue. According to Dr Low Chai Ling, Medical Director of the SW1 Clinic, there are 3 main causes that keep one’s skin shine-free.   1. Makeup Dr Low emphasized how our choice of cosmetics reflect the importance of watching how our daily habits affect the overall health of our skin. Heavy makeup increases oil production and clogs up pores. Where possible, those with oily skin should opt for oil-free products. Normal home cleansing should be thorough, and those who wear heavy makeup often should consider a deep cleansing routine, such as the Deep Deep Clean facial, or the Clear Continue Reading
