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

How A Treatment Called Youth Savant Saved My Skin

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

I don’t have scars. My earlier years of diligently applying anti-aging skincare from the age of 25 and then routine gentle laser resurfacing every now and then to smoothen fine lines and tighten my pores from the age of 32 has paid off. Everyone envies me for my smooth skin. Call me shallow but at the age of 57, I felt a little disappointed that one little flaw was giving my age away. My skin was fair but rather translucent-looking – I can see small vessels just beneath the surface and large green veins deeper beneath. Expression lines across the forehead and outside the eyes are common unless one likes strong Botox treatments, but I have expression folds – thin folds of skin that radiate from the expression lines… my skin is crepey and thin.   YOUTH SAVANT THE MIRACLE HEALER I call Youth Savant a miracle healer because it is a treatment that acts like a DNA boost for aging or inflamed cells. This skin rejuvenating treatment puts polynucleotides Continue Reading

The New Age Microneedle Lift You Need To Try Right Now

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

So you want to look fresher, younger, faster. The sagging skin around the jawline and the jowls add 10 years to your looks and it bothers you (rightfully). What are your options then, if you don’t want a surgical facelift? Anti-aging aficionados will agree that not every less invasive treatment out there fulfills its promise. Truth is everyone’s skin makeup is a little different, and people respond variably to these collagen-inducing treatments. You may have read or even done a few non-invasive skin lifting treatments such as ultrasound focused ultherapy (or HIFU) and radiofrequency (RF) Thermage. If your sag warrants a little more work, then apart from the surgical facelift, you will probably need a thread lift, or another new age lift, such as microneedling RF.

Here’s Why (Good) Bacteria Helps To Clear And Strengthen Your Skin

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

Speak of probiotic and yogurt comes to mind. Thanks to all the yogurt commercials and Yakult (everyone’s favourite probiotic milk beverage in Asia), you probably know now that probiotics are good for your health. Probiotic drinks are fermented with bacteria strains, most frequently the Lactobacillus ones. Yakult contains Lactobacillus paracasei Shirota, first isolated from the human intestines by a Japanese scientist in the 1930s. Turns out, probiotics aren’t just good for the gut, word has it that they can also transform skin. These are really bacteria that normally live in your gut, but the good ones that curb the overgrowth of yeast and unhealthy bacteria.   YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT You’ve probably heard of this before, down a jumbo packet of potato chips and face a breakout the next morning. This instinct is spot on. Your body produces more insulin to deal with the sugar and this ramps up oil production and clogs up pores. Avoid processed foods and your skin will usually clear up. The same goes for Continue Reading
