There is a fine line between right and wrong when it comes to beauty. Let’s look at makeup. As you probably know, the right product can transform your face and skin into a poreless perfect look and the wrong product will create a caky mess. I have created a list of what I see as the most common makeup wearing catastrophes and how to avoid them.

Bad Beauty Move #1: Wearing Foundation on Dry, Flaky Skin

Your Foundation needs a smooth surface, or it looks cracked, dull, dry or even worse. And that’s not what we want from our foundation. “Foundation should absorb into the skin, blending naturally into it,” says Carlynne Orner, a makeup artist who works with Dunes Medical Solutions Spa. To even out the surface of your skin, gently scrub it to remove dead cells and flakes. Try: Bamboo Honey exfoliant by Clayton Shagal. Then, spritz on D2O Hydration Spray by Jane Iredale. Next apply a moisturizing lotion or, if you have extremely dry skin, try suki oil. Remember to drink lots of water everyday to rehydrate and detox the skin.

Bad Beauty Move #2: No Blend No GO

No Blend No GO…. This means everything you put on your face needs blending. From foundation to lip liner EVERYTHING must be blended. Always use brushes or finger tips to smooth color into the skin no matter where you put it. Remember to check the jawline and chin.

Be Beautiful…

When the dermal layer becomes thin, it produces less collagen and elastin fibers. These causes wrinkles and make skin sag.

Causes

Aside from the ageing process, sun damage is also linked to wrinkle formation. When skin is exposed to sun for a long period of time, it can result to dryness and it can…. damage the collagen fibers that protects the skin.

In addition, prolonged exposure to sun can cause skin disorder and cancer.

Other factors of wrinkle formation are the following: Poor nutrition, stress, sleep deprivation, excess alcohol or illegal drug consumption, and pollution.

Prevention

1. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause serious skin damage. Experts recommend the use of hat when on the beach especially between 12nn-2pm. Use of sunscreen and sunglasses is also helpful to avoid wrinkles that might appear around the eyes.

2. Smoking is dangerous to your health. And also to your skin. People who are smoking form wrinkles around their mouth earlier compare to non-smokers. To keep skin healthy, avoid cigarette and smoky places like bars and restaurants.

3. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Excessive alcohol consumption is bad for the skin. Alcohol prevents the body from absorbing vitamins needed to keep the skin healthy.

4. Drink at least 8-12 glasses of water everyday. Water helps in keeping the skin glowing and healthy. It is an effective element in reducing wrinkles, flushing toxins, fat, and other foreign substances out of the body.

5. Use olive oil as much as possible. It makes the skin soft and younger looking.

6. Eat tomatoes and vegetables. These contain nutrients that are proven to make the skin look younger. In addition, fruits, nuts, and beans are also good food for the skin.

7. Resist the urge to sunbathe. Experts agree that although tan makes men and women look sexier, it can pose threat to the skin. Try self-tanner instead. Never use tanning bed or sunlamp.

8. Pamper the skin once in a while by going to spa or sauna. Also, get 8 or more hours of sleep. These can do wonders on the skin in no time.

9. Use moisturizer twice everyday.

Treatment

Dermatologists are advising people who have few, shallow wrinkles to use moisturizing creams and sunscreen. However, more and more people are looking for more advance technology in erasing the signs of ageing.

Recently, dermatologists responded to people’s request for wrinkle treatment. Botox was introduced that soften wrinkles that are caused by grimacing or squinting. Hyaluronic or collagen acid are injected on the skin to elevate wrinkles.

Another breakthrough is laser treatment to minimize wrinkles. Most common laser treatment is called Carbon Dioxide laser that is designed for deeper wrinkles.

People who have deep, excessive wrinkles resort to face lift. It is a surgical procedure that is both invasive and expensive that produces excellent results.

Wrinkles cannot be avoided but they can be delayed. There is nothing more satisfying than looking younger than one’s age. So, just follow these tips and stay young! Ask your Dunes Spa expert about the best way to hope your personal skin health.

• The results are permanent

This is one of the key benefits to getting this procedure done because in most cases it is a one time process. For those that use shaving to remove hair, this is a key benefit, as you do not have to deal with stubble that keeps growing back and that you have to remove more and more frequently. Also many clinics offer 2 to 5 year guarantees that your hair will not grow back otherwise they will refund you or offer to remove the hairs that grew back.

• The process is less painful

We all know the pain and suffering that is endured by those that use wax to rip the hair out of the follicle. Tweezing does not offer any pain relief either. The process is generally quite painless as the lasers are designed to target the hair follicle only and not the skin around the hairs. Most patients report feeling a warm soothing sensation as the hairs are targeted by the laser.

• Laser hair removal cost less in the long term and saves you time

The cost can vary depending on the location and size of the region but it is important to think long term when you are looking at the price tag. Remember that this is a one time procedure, so you will not need to buy any more wax, or pay someone else to remove your unwanted hairs. Another great benefit is that it saves you lots of time because once it is completed there is no need to tend to that area again. Think about how much time that can save you over the course of 5, 10 or 15 years.

Technological advances have really contributed to expanding this market and people from all over the world are now reaping the benefits of this procedure. A large percent of the patients are men, who can benefit by getting hair removed from their backs. Many male bodybuilders use the procedure to remove hair from the chest and shoulders too. As you can see, there are many advantages to laser hair removal and its popularity will continue to grow.

In a laser, the atoms or molecules of a crystal, such as ruby or garnet, are excited in what is called the laser cavity so that more of them are at higher energy levels than are at lower energy levels.

Reflective surfaces at both ends of the cavity permit energy to reflect back and forth, building up the power in each passage.

With laser hair removal the laser penetrates the top layer of dermis with a specific wavelength of light (as opposed to multiple wavelengths used in Intense Pulse Light treatments), targeting melanin in the hair follicle.

A hair follicle is a sac from which a hair grows and into which the sebaceous (oil) glands open. The follicle is lined by cells derived from the epidermal (outside) layer of the skin.

Each air follicle normally goes through a five-year cycle of growth and rest, with about 90 percent of the follicles growing hair at any one time, averaging about 15 cm of growth per year.

Also called pigment, melanin is a substance that gives the skin and hair its natural color. It also gives color to the iris of the eye, feathers, and scales.

In humans, those with darker skin have higher amounts of melanin. By contrast, those with less pigment have lighter or more fair skin coloring.

Melanin provides many benefits to human beings. One of the most recognised benefits involves ultraviolet rays of the sun.

Melanin provides a natural protection against the harmful effects of these rays. However, it does not provide complete protection from the sun, and individuals with darker skin tones are still at risk from the sun’s damaging rays.

When the laser hits the melanin it damages and destroys the regrowth potential of the hair follicle. The specific wave length of light (755nm) enhances the accuracy of the treatment and gives far superior results. At 755 nanometres the laser can achieve the best penetration into the hair follicle. For people with dark hair and light skin, this is the ultimate in hair reduction.

The new 755 nanometre hair removal laser uses a special cooling system that lowers the temperature of the skin during, and after, laser exposure.

This is why the treatment is regarded as a lot less painful than other treatments. Some patients have compared the treatment to the sensation of the snap of a rubber band.

For your safety, the ownership and operation of lasers in most States is highly regulated. Clinics need to have an owner’s license, clinic license, safety officers, licensed operators and licensed equipment, which is why very few clinics are fully licensed. You can trust that Dunes Medical Solutions Spa is licensed and certified.
