Megan ThomasLeave a comment

Speak of Botox and most will immediately think of wrinkles. But there is more to it. Injected deep into muscle, Botox inhibits certain nerves from firing, and you get weakening of the muscle activity. Here’s when it gets even more interesting.

The Chinese have a saying – the eyes are the windows to our soul. But as age creeps up on us, the delicate skin which frame our eyes loses its turgor and starts to sag. Before long, dark undereye circles may form and one can look tired even though you are quite well-rested!   How Our Eyes Age Firstly, sagging skin of the eye changes the shape of the eyes a little. They can look smaller and droop. Asians with heavier eyelids are also more prone to eyelid drooping and even covering part of their field of vision – ptosis. In this case, ptosis correction with double eyelid surgery is probably the most effective option.     How do fine lines and wrinkles eventually form around the eyes?

A V-shaped visage is probably the most coveted face shape in most parts of Asia, such as Korea, Japan and locally in Singapore. Check out the most popular Korean pop stars such as Park Shin Hye and you will know what we mean.

But what are the options for the rest of us who would like to explore other non-invasive options? The good news is, unless you have an obviously recessive or protruding jawline that requires corrective jaw surgery, we have put together the best options that doesn’t require the blade.   Big Jaw Muscles – Botox Jaw Slimming Chewing muscles at the angle of the jaw are a common cause of a squarish jawline.

The Universal Laws of Facial Beauty

Lisa Williams2 Comments

BY LISA WILLIAMS Jennifer Lopez was once named as People‘s most beautiful woman in the world. “It’s so crazy. Rarely am I left speechless, but I feel honored. I feel not worthy, you know? I feel happy and proud. Proud that I’m not 25!” the 41-year-old New York City-born singer-actress told People as she joined the ranks with Halle Berry, Jennifer Garner and Beyonce Knowles. Known for her flawless skin and curvy figure, she attributed looking good to her personal life. “I think it’s because I have a lot of love in my life. I feel lucky to be an attractive person, but I’ve always felt that real beauty always comes from your heart.” While I’m sure love helps, so does poise, intelligence and a kind heart. But is that all?
