Deep chemical peel

Deep chemical peel

Chemical peel is one of the oldest cosmetic treatment it has been used both in ancient times and now. The chemical peel is a medical treatment that takes away the surface layer of skin. The idea is to get rid of the dead and damaged skin on the top and to achieve regeneration of the whole skin. Usually the new skin is smoother and less wrinkled.

But there are few risks for the patient, there is a risk of erythema if the procedure is not made by professional. Sometimes the formula could reduce the skin ability of pigmentation and sun protection permanently.Another way of deep chemical peel is by using Retinoic Acid Peel as well as Trichloroacetic acid peels and Beta hydroxy acid peels.

After deep chemical peel is recommended staying at home for few days, also the skin is becoming light sensitive and it is absolutely necessary use of sun-protection products. The finely grinding the skin occurs after 4-5 days. The dermatologist to not advise this peeling to take place in the summer, because of the strong sun.

Chemical peeling can be done on any part of the skin, but more often is made on the face, neck, back and wrists. It is usable on any type of skin. The procedure can cause discomfort but it is not really painfull.

Hyaluronic Acid in Facial Serums

Hyaluronic Acid in Facial Serums

All efforts of modern cosmetics industry are concentrated towards the completion of two tasks: finding wonder-working ways to retain youth, and creating the perfect soft and glowing skin formula. The center of both those magical processes is facial serums.

Retaining moisture in the skin plays an important part in the beauty maintenance since dry skin is far more likely to cause winkles and fine lines.

Hyaluronic acid serums penetrate deeply into the skin and help to retain water in the cells, preserving their natural frame to protect them from the effects of aging.

The power of hyaluronic acid in harnessing the serum power.

The use of hyaluroni cacid is one of the biggest discoveries in the beauty industry. The hyaluronic acid is a natural constituent of the human body, synthesized by proteins called hyaluronic acid synthesis known to human kind since 1934.

Around 50% of the hyaluronic acid is contained in our skin or more precisely it is the main component of the deep layer, the derm.

What is unique about it and makes it stand out from other cosmetics is the way it works.

When the acid penetrates the skin it triggers a concatenation process of enormous amounts of water thousand times more than its weight. Then it draws the dampness of the air, fills the intercellular areas and “stretches” the skin. That way the hyaluronic acid restores the natural glow and youth of the skin.

In a short period of time, results will be visible. The importance of the hyaluronic acid for the skin can be compared to that of the collagen- one( the collagen) takes care of the solidity and elasticity, whereas the other( the hyaluronic acid) is responsible for the density and softness of the skin.

Unfortunately, the human body absorbs the hyaluronic acid too quickly. In addition to that, it`s quantity in our body reduces over the years and it needs to be provided through the use of outside remedies.

Facial Serums combine the power of expensive cosmetic treatments with the simplicity of home made cosmetics. Their high efficiency allows you to skip the beautician appointment.

The price of a high quality serum is considerably lower than that of most cosmetic treatments.

Do serums have alternatives?

Cosmetic companies are starting to use different methods for hydration and skin recovering.

The most sought-out method of using hyaluron is through injection in the skin which is a very fast way to hydrate a given section.

It is a relatively painless method but it`s effect is of short duration- the procedures have to be repeated, otherwise, as mentioned, the hyaloronic acid will be absorbed very fast.

There are other ways to use hyaluron, probably far more convenient for most ladies, because of the lack of medical consideration during the procedures. Such are hydration creams, gels, and essential oils; but, since they contain fats and other ingredients, they are not as efficient as serums.

Consumer arguments

Of course, like any other product, the hyaluronic acid has specific effects.

It is highly recommended to consult a dermatologist before using cosmetic products which contain hyaluron, especially if injected.

There are three types of hyaluronic acid- unstable with low molecular mass, unstable with high molecular mass, and stable.

The third group is closest to the hyaluronic acid found in the human skin; and, it is the most efficient and natural of the three types.

The age, the complete condition of the body, the intolerance of the skin towards specific ingredients, the atmospheric conditions and the diet, can always influence the effect of the beauty product.

There are no full guarantees, but the hyaluronic acid in facial serums has saved the skin of many people around the world and is definitely worth including in our skin care routine.

In conclusion, I would like to add that just like water is vital to our body, hydration of skin cells is an equally important daily ritual for preserving one’s youth and health.

            

Useful tips for perfect makeup

Do you have those days that your makeup just doesn’t want to stay good… your liner refuses to go on straight or your lashes don’t want to curl. Well now we’ve asked some of the best professional artists to tell us how to do makeup without troubles.

The first thing you need to do if you really want to apply  your makeup like a professional is use the proper brushes. The eight basic brushes are Foundation brush, Concealer brush,  Fluffy powder brush,
Blush brush, Small blending brush, Flat eye-shadow brush, Precision angle brush and Lip brush.  The most important thing is to know how to hold them, so the tip here is to place your fingers on the center of the brush handle.

For great looking cream foundation you can mix it with some primer. This also helps the makeup blend seamlessly with the first layer of primer on your skin.

The third tip is about those redness, around the nose for example, that we want to hide. There is a color wheel and we are choosing from it. Professionals say that opposite colors cancel each other out, so green-pigmented concealer covers redness, and orangey concealer removes blue. If you use your beige concealer, it'll only make those areas look muddy.

If there is something that you don’t like about your face you can change it too. For example your button nose, round face or prominent forehead. All those things could be changed shading some spots and lighting the others. If you have a flat or wide nose you should shade alongside your bridge starting from your inner brows. Then highlight right on the center of your nose.  If you have a prominent forehead than you should shade around the outer edge of your forehead along your hairline to minimize the area with bronzer. In case you have a round face and want to make it look more oval you can apply a bronzer a shade or two darker than your skin tone in shape alongside your face.

We’ve found out that you can use the same info to alter my eye shape, too. Whether you have drooping lids, narrow-set eyes, or they're simply too small, you can use light and shadow to change them. 

Our sixth tip is simple, but super important. When you're trying to pick the most flattering eye-shadow colors you can use again the trick with the opposite colors. When two of those are next to each other they are helping to each other to stand out.

The other thing that is not that easy is putting eyeliner. Our tip for you is simple but useful. You're supposed to go from the inner corner to the center of your lid, then reload the brush and start from the outside corner until you meet the existing liner.

There are a few steps for perfect lips too. Apply foundation to your entire lip. Using a white eyeliner pencil, very softly feather the pencil over the natural contour of the lip than redo the line with a lip pencil in the color of your lipstick. Apply lipstick with a lip brush in a downward motion. Apply a light shade of base foundation around the new lip line.

Our last tip for you is how to conceal those under-eye circles.  With your concealer brush, swipe the color-correcting concealer under your eye in a "V" shape from your outer to inner corner.  Then, buff the concealer into your skin, until you get to the center of your lower lid, where you'll want to feather the concealer for a lighter application. Seems difficult but it’s really useful.

We hope these advises will help you out to look even more fabulous than now.
