Acne Combination Treatment

Filed under: beauty tips — admin @ 5:42 pm

Accordingly to some dermatologist when treating acne it is good idea to use combination treatment: benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. These two ingredients work exceptionally good together to unclog pores, the main cause of acne bacteria. During this treatment you need to keep an eye on your complexion and monitor changes on daily basis. Our recommended brands to be used in combination treatment are: Skin Medica, Acne Recovery, Cellex C.

Strivectin HS Review

Filed under: Products — admin @ 9:45 am

Strivectin HS

StriVectin HS is a serum that reduces sharp creases in the dermal substratum. Those looking to decrease the depth of their wrinkles in areas such as the brow, corners of eyes, around the lips and at the nasolabial folds, or laughlines, are good candidates for this product. The product can be used twice daily until the desired effects are achieved and then moved to maintenance treatments one to three times per week. The product also decreases pore size.

StriVectin HS serum comes in a .9 fluid ounce bottle that is uses an eyedropper to dispense its ingredients. The product relies on a thermophyllic concept to be effective. After 6-8 drops are applied by fingertips to the areas of concern on the face, users must wait approximately 3 minutes for the serum to dry. Users must then hold a facecloth dipped in hot water and wrung out over the treated areas for 60 seconds. Upon removing the hot towel, the skin must be allowed to dry naturally. Consistent use will show optimal results in 6-8 weeks.

The StriVectin line contains many skin care products, yet StriVectin HS is the only one that relies on the unique concept of applying heat. Users will find they need possibly five minutes or more for the application process in order to see results. When considering the amount of time that will first be spent cleansing the face, this can be somewhat of a concern. This is especially true for those looking to keep their skin care regimen as short as possible. StriVectin warns consumers that the product is not to be used on individuals under the age of 18 unless directed by a physician. While comparison shopping can result in better deals, prices are likely to stay in high range levels. The bottle offers approximately 28 applications.

Ingredients Include: Water (Aqua), Tripeptide, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate, Yeast Extract (Faex), PEG-8, Albumen, Polypeptide, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Glycereth-26, Arginine, Xanthan Gum, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolmer, Tetrasodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methyparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben.

Lip Augmentation

Filed under: beauty tips — admin @ 8:55 pm

Full lips are a sign of beauty and youth in many cultures. Your lips actually become thinner as you age. Fine lines and wrinkles can appear around the mouth area as well. There are a number of different ways to get the look of full kissable lips, while reducing the fine lines above the upper lip, from lip augmentation surgery to cosmetic products. Cosmetic surgery can include methods like implants and injections. Cosmetic products seek to plump the lips through chemical means. Either way, the result can be a hit or miss process.

By far, the most popular way to augment the lip area using surgery is by injecting fillers. These fillers can be natural or synthetic compounds that are used to give the lip a fuller appearance. They last about three to six months. They are not permanent and can result in numerous complications. Some of the potential complications are: lumps, allergies, hardening, infection, numbness, stiff lips, swelling, and scarring. Cosmetic implants, like Gore-Tex or Softform implants, which come in strips and are slipped into the lips through an incision made inside the lip. They are permanent because they are not absorbed into the skin, like the fillers. They can have many of the same complications as the injected fillers; however, they can be removed if the body rejects them.

There are cosmetics sold that are sold as “lip plumpers.” They are typically infused with collagen, which is applied to the skin either as a separate product or as a colored lipstick. The effects of lip enhancement cosmetics are temporary and only last as long as the lipstick is applied, however, there are some that are said to produce cumulative effects. The advantages are that there is no post-operative recuperation period and the cosmetics are less expensive than surgery.
