When Should You Introduce Vitamin C Into Your Skincare Routine?

Vitamin C is found in a variety of skincare Products, including serums, toners, mists, moisturizers, and masks. While you can incorporate it into your day and nighttime routines, you should be aware that certain ingredients perform better at certain times of the day. Given the critical nature of vitamin C, we will discuss how and when to use it to achieve the best results. 

In the morning, apply vitamin C serum. 

While it is permissible to use Vitamin C at night, you will reap the greatest benefits if you incorporate it into your morning skincare routine. Why? It is a miracle worker when it comes to protecting your skin from UV rays. When used in conjunction with a sunscreen, it helps prevent UV damage and provides the maximum amount of sun protection.

How to Use Vitamin C

The majority of people prefer Vitamin C in the form of a serum due to its increased potency and concentration. By using it throughout the day, its antioxidant properties serve as a shield against pollution and other environmental aggressors. Begin your morning skincare routine by cleansing your face with a face wash, followed by toner and, just before applying moisturizer, a few drops of vitamin C serum. Allow it to completely absorb into the skin before applying a moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen.

How to Perform a Lymphatic Drainage Massage

How to Perform a Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage massage is a form of gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body.

The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up. Lymphatic drainage massages can benefit people with lymphedema, fibromyalgia, and other conditions.

In this article, we explain the benefits of lymphatic massage, the people who may benefit from using it, and how they can prepare for and perform this type of massage at home.

What are the benefits?

While the heart continuously pumps blood through the blood vessels, the lymphatic system relies on the movement of smooth muscles to transport fluid through the lymph vessels.

Health conditions can interrupt the normal flow of lymph, causing lymph fluid to build up in a particular area of the body, often in the arms or legs, where it can causing swelling. This condition is called lymphedema.

People can develop lymphedema as a result of infections, cancer treatments that involve the removal of lymph nodes, and any condition that damages the lymphatic system.

Lymphatic massage can reduce swelling and improve circulation throughout the lymphatic system. Lymphatic massage usually forms part of a treatment program called decongestive lymphatic therapy (DLT).

DLT for lymphedema includes:

  • lymphatic drainage massage
  • compression garments
  • exercise
  • skin care

Have You Ever Heard of The Radio Frequency Booty Booster Treatment?

Have You Ever Heard of The Radio Frequency Booty Booster Treatment?

Whether or not it’s the lasting influence of the Kardashians, I think we can all agree the trend of cultivating a big booty is here to stay. Introducing Radio Frequency Booty Booster Treatment: a skin-tightening and sculpting treatment that uses heat to trick your body into thinking it’s experiencing trauma. This results in collagen production and skin-tightening in the area treated. The heat generated permeates the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin causing tissue retraction, resulting in instantly tighter and firmer skin. It also reduces and smoothens the appearance of cellulite and uneven skin tone.

Who is it for?

RF is for almost anyone (always check with your RF technician prior to your appointment) and can be performed on any part of the body that needs tightening and sculpting. It’s a great pick for brides who want to look their best on their big day, those looking for a quick tone-up prior to a big event or before hitting the beach in summer.

The treatment process

Your RF technician assessed the area under a white light and decided that we would focus on lifting the lower cheek and upper thigh in our session. I then settled myself on a massage table face-down, booty-up so she could cleanse the area. A lubricant was applied so Chloe could begin her good work with her magic wand.

She applied circular massaging motions to the area, and as she did this the metal plates on the end of the device started to warm up and emit that all-important radio frequency. A thermometer was used intermittently to ensure my skin wasn’t getting too hot but I have to say the warming sensation was a welcome one – I would compare the sensation to a hot stone massage – honestly, so relaxing.

This Misting Tool Works Better Than Your Favorite Serum

This Misting Tool Works Better Than Your Favorite Serum

Droplette is a clinically-validated misting tool that turns serums with dermatologist-vetted active ingredients, like retinol, glycolic acid, and collagen, into tiny droplets that move at a high velocity and penetrate the skin 20 times deeper than the average topical skincare product. And if that doesn’t sound scientific enough, NASA provided Droplette with its first round of funding.

The Droplette team developed the technology after attending a rare disease conference where they learned about epidermolysis bullosa, a rare pediatric disease caused by a missing gene. Those with EB have skin that doesn’t adhere to the muscle underneath, causing open wounds that are painful to treat with ointments and bandages.

A deeply penetrating mist infused with healing ingredients could treat EB patients without causing discomfort, but as the Droplette team began developing the tool, they realized the technology would be beneficial for the average skincare routine as well.

According to a study by the European Food Safety Authority, 90% of topical skincare products don’t absorb below the surface of your skin. But Droplette’s mist allows for molecules that are up to 10,000 larger than what can typically be topically absorbed into the skin, reaching up to 20 cell layers deep, to better target major skincare concerns such as firmness, uneven texture and tone, and brightness.

The brand offers three different capsules: 0.15% retinol for acne, fine lines, or wrinkles; 10% collagen for elasticity and hydration; and 8% glycolic acid for hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, and dullness.

All of the serum formulas have been tested by dermatologists and according to the brand, contain percentages of actives that are effective enough to deliver results with minimal risk of irritation despite being delivered deep in the skin. The serums are also vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic, and come with a pre-paid envelope to return to Droplette for recycling.

This sounds way too good to be true, right? Well, that’s why I reached out to Marisa Garshick, M.D., F.A.A.D., a board-certified dermatologist in New York City (who has no affiliation with the brand), to get her opinion on Droplette’s technology.

When you think of multipurpose skincare ingredients, azelaic acid isn’t the first one you may think of, or even the second.

Until the cult-favourite skincare brand The Ordinary threw its Azelaic Acid 10% Suspension and its benefits on our feed, even skincare enthusiasts, including me, weren’t too keen on talking about it.

There could be various reasons for the obscure life this active ingredient was figuratively living till now.

Keep reading to find out more about an ingredient you’re soon going to be obsessed with!

How to Remove Peach Fuzz From The Face

How to Remove Peach Fuzz From The Face

Unruly downy facial hair, colloquially referred to as peach fuzz, can seriously undermine your beauty game. Apart from giving your face a fuzzy appearance, it can also make it difficult for makeup products to glide on smoothly. Now you’re not interested in that, are you? That is what we believed. 

Here are three simple methods for removing peach fuzz and revealing smooth, fuzz-free skin. 

Threading 

Threading is the most common and least expensive method of removing facial hair. It can help keep peach fuzz at bay for up to six weeks, depending on your hair’s growth and density. 

Waxing 

Facial waxing is not a new procedure for women. It is quick and less painful. Waxing utilizes a thick wax for the face that effectively removes hair in a tick. It removes the hair follicles from the roots, giving you at least a month until your next appointment. Sensitive skin types may experience irritation and discoloration, but this will subside within a few minutes. 

Dermaplaning 

Dermaplaning is a relatively new concept, but it is extremely effective. It involves scraping the top layer of your skin with a sharp scalpel, thereby removing pesky vellus hair from your face. At the conclusion of the session, you will have smooth and radiant skin. Additionally, your hair will not regrow thicker. Although a little pricey, it’s worth it because it exfoliates and eliminates peach fuzz simultaneously.

A Quick And Simple Method For Removing Stubborn Cuticles At Home

For those of us accustomed to receiving a professional manicure every few weeks, at-home nail care becomes a necessity. However, a common issue with nail care is removing stubborn cuticles. This can be extremely annoying. However, do not despair; by simply following the steps outlined below, you will be able to eliminate even the most obstinate cuticles in no time.

  1. Begin by thoroughly cleaning your nails to remove any nail polish residue, oil, or other impurities that may have accumulated on them. 
  2. Following that, apply a small amount of cuticle softening cream or oil to each of your cuticles. Allow some time for it to work its magic. This process should take approximately five to seven minutes. 
  3. While the cuticle softener is working, you can file your nails. Bear in mind to be extremely gentle while doing so. 
  4.  After approximately five minutes, check and touch your cuticles; they should feel soft at this point. Once they are sufficiently pliable, use the cuticle pusher to gently push them back. 
  5. Following that, take the nail buffer and gently rub it all over your nails. Maintain a back and forth motion across your cuticle and you will soon notice tiny balls of skin at the base of your nails. This will indicate that the cuticles have been dissolved and the nails are ready to be painted.

Surprising Benefits of Pumpkin Peel Facial for Your Skin

Pumpkin peel skin resurfacing treatment is an intensive way to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating cell and improving the texture of skin. Pumpkin pulp packed with enzymes, nutrients and vitamins is combined together with glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid to become an effective treatment to combat ageing, surface pigmentation and acne.

Moreover, its antibacterial properties can help treat acne spots while correcting surface pigmentation to improve tone.

With a series of pumpkin peel treatments, you can expect the following benefits:

  • Improves skin brightness
  • Improves skin hydration
  • Supports barrier function of the skin
  • Refines the appearance of wrinkles
  • Decreases existing acne and aids in preventing new acne breakouts
  • Evens skin tone and lightens the appearance of pigmentation
  • Stimulates the skin
  • Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits
  • Significantly smoother and tighter skin

How Pumpkin Peel works to fight signs of aging

Both alpha-hydroxy acids (Lactic acid and glycolic acid) and beta-hydroxy acids (salicylic acid) work together to exfoliate and slough off dead cells while promoting cell renewal, bringing newer and younger skin cells to the surface. All the while, strengthening collagen beneath the skin’s surface.

This effectively improves overall skin tone and clarity by lightening surface pigmentation, softening the appearance of fine lines and brightening the skin.

A clearer, smoother and more taut complexion can be achieved with a series of pumpkin peel treatments.

How Pumpkin Peel works to help clear acne

As the pumpkin peel is formulated with key ingredients to penetrate deep into your pores to remove debris and dissolve dead skin cells, it aims to decongest, calm any existing flare-ups and help control future breakouts.

Together with its antibacterial effect, this peel targets acne at its source so we can immediately get your skin back on track to healthier skin. Moreover, this pumpkin peel stimulates circulation and promotes healing without the use of harsh chemicals, which can irritate sensitive acne-prone skin.

Once the peeling process has finished, the skin will feel smoother, brighter and any present acne will have reduced, leaving your skin looking healthy, less congested and hydrated.

A DERMATOLOGIST’S GUIDE ON TREATING JAWLINE ACNE

A DERMATOLOGIST’S GUIDE ON TREATING JAWLINE ACNE

DERMATOLOGIST’S: Acne has a mind of its own, some may say, because its arrival is never predictable, except of course around the time of your period. Having said that, those with oily and acne-prone skin will agree that they usually get acne on their T-zone, which includes the forehead, nose and chin. The reason being, this area is usually oilier than the rest of the face and we all know acne is the result of a clogged pore. The pores on your skin get clogged with dead skin cells, mixed with excess oil and bacteria. However, there’s another area common for acne to develop — the jawline. This type of acne is known as jawline acne and is more common among women than men.

What are the causes of jawline acne?

The causes of jawline acne can be both hormonal and external. In this article we will take a look at both to determine the exact reason why you may be suffering from acne on your jawline.

1. Hormonal fluctuations

It is mainly caused by excessive androgen production or increased sensitivity to circulating hormones known as cutaneous hyperandrogenism. They are ‘felt more under the skin’ as compared to the skin’s surface. It is not seen usually in physiological acne or prepubertal acne. Excessive weight gain may also lead to dyslipidemias which may cause nodular or jawline acne.

2. PCOS

Many women suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) often complain of acne which is painful, lumpy and nodular in the chin area when touched. Most of the women also may have hirsutism, thinning of hair, scalp flaking and some other signs of hyperandrogenism.

3 Amazing Moisturizing Ingredients To Address Your Dry Skin

From glycerin to Argan oil, a variety of ingredients work to hydrate the skin, making it smoother, suppler, and plumper. Continue reading for our top picks for moisturizing skincare ingredients to incorporate into your routine, and prepare you to say goodbye to dry skin for good. 

Include These 3 Moisturizing Ingredients In Your Skincare Routine If You Have Dry Skin
Include These 3 Moisturizing Ingredients In Your Skincare Routine If You Have Dry Skin
  1. Glycerine: Glycerin is one of the best ingredients for moisturizing dry skin. By acting as a humectant — a substance that attracts and holds moisture — the ingredient assists your skin in absorbing moisture from the air and preventing it from evaporating. It’s particularly beneficial if you suffer from acne or eczema. 
  2. Hyaluronic acid: Your body produces hyaluronic acid on its own. So why would you want to apply it topically? As you age, your body’s production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leaving your skin dry and dull. Using hyaluronic acid-containing creams or serums not only moisturizes the skin, but also plumps it up. It’s a type of sugar molecule that cushions your tissues; the ingredient also helps retain moisture in the skin and gives it a smooth, soft appearance, which is especially beneficial for dry skin. 
  3. Argan oil: This light oil is ideal for moisturizing dry skin. It contains a variety of acids and vitamins that moisturize the skin and is a true hero when it comes to resolving dryness.
