How to Keep Skin Glowing in Rainy Season

How to Keep Skin Glowing in Rainy Season

/0 Comments/in /by

With the onset of the monsoon season, we have officially entered the ber months. Despite the fact that the Philippines’ climate is often hot and humid, it is highly unpredictable.

As the weather varies from rainy to warm and sunny in a matter of minutes, your skin is not immune to the possible damage caused by the weather. There is still time to prevent these harms from worsening. Here are some recommendations to assist you with your skincare concerns during the rainy season.

Wash your Face Twice a Day

As the humidity level rises during the rainy season, your skin may produce more sebum than usual. And if left untreated, excessive sebum can clog pores, resulting in acne outbreaks.

Always wash your face twice daily to remove grime and excess oil. Dermatologists advocate using gentle, soap-free cleansers to avoid skin dryness.

Apply sunscreen

A typical myth about sunscreen is that it is only necessary during the summer or when you are in direct sunlight. Dermatologists advise that sunscreen should still be applied in the morning.

Ultraviolet rays can still pass through clouds and glass panels to reach your skin, so you should still wear sunscreen even if you’ll be indoors.

Remember to seek sunscreen with an SPF greater than 50 and a PA+++ rating to offer protection even in direct sunlight. Additionally, it would be preferable if it were lightweight and did not leave an unattractive white cast.

Pamper Yourself

Schedule some time for yourself at a derma clinic or spa.
Getting your much-deserved treatment after a week’s or month’s hard work will aid improve the oh-so-glowy complexion.
You’ve already de-stressed and taken a rest, plus you’ll have healthy, beautiful skin.

Be sure to receive a treatment such as Shinagawa Aesthetics’ BeautyTox, which can make your skin supple and youthful and produce an oval figure.

dark under-eye circles

Causes of dark under-eye circles

/0 Comments/in /by

Dark circles beneath the eyes are a frequent issue that many individuals have, and there are several potential explanations. Here is all you need to know about the causes and treatments for dark circles.

What are dark under-eye circles?

Dark rings appear under both eyes. Thinner skin behind the eyes amplifies blood vessels, causing dark circles.
Puffy eyes cause dark shadows under the eyelids.

Dark circles around the eyes may be a health risk for many reasons. They may deteriorate as they age.

Dark circles are curable. Here are five under-eye circle causes and treatments.

1. Absence of sleep

Lack of sleep might cause your skin to become paler. This causes the blood vessels under the skin to become more visible, resulting in the appearance of dark circles. Seven to eight hours of sleep every night may assist in reducing the look of dark circles.

2. Aging

As you age, the tissue around your eyes begins to shrink, causing them to seem puffy and swollen. Some medical procedures, such as fillers and laser therapy, may particularly target under-eye circles caused by aging. Not everyone is a candidate for these operations, so consult with your physician to determine the best option for you.

3. Allergies

Asthma and dry eyes can also cause dark circles. Allergies release histamines, which can cause eye irritation and redness. This may make you massage your eyes, worsening irritation, puffiness, and dark shadows.
Allergic reactions including itchy eyes, sneezing, and congestion may cause dark circles.
Antihistamines like Benadryl or Zyrtec may reduce allergy symptoms that aggravate dark circles if allergies are the cause. Antihistamines are not recommended for non-allergic people.

4. Genealogy

While there are numerous environmental explanations for dark circles, genetics may also play a role.
The average age of beginning dark circles among participants was 24 years old, according to a recent study. The most important factor connected with dark circles was family history.

5. Deficiency in iron and anemia

Anemia occurs from insufficient red blood cells. Iron deficiency can cause it. Anemia prevents blood cells from oxygenating organs, particularly the eyes. It could create under-eye circles.
Iron-deficiency anemia affected half of 200 black circle patients. Anemia treatment reduced dark circles beneath the eyes for some.
Fatigue, vertigo, and paleness result from anemia. Consult a doctor for anemia. Iron supplements may be advised by doctors.
Anemia can be prevented and treated by eating spinach, beans, and seafood.

The bottom line

Dark circles under the eyes can have many different causes, and in some cases can be a sign of a health problem like anemia. If your dark circles don’t get better with adequate sleep or at-home remedies talk with to a doctor to help determine the underlying cause.

Adult Male Acne Treatment

The Most Effective Adult Male Acne Treatment

/0 Comments/in , /by
Men’s acne is hormone-related, so it’s treated differently and  Vice versa.

Women can balance hormones with birth control pills or spironolactone, which prevents testosterone from affecting the hair follicle.

The following are the most prevalent and important strategies:

Topical medications

Men and women typically use many of the same treatments, because men’s skin is a little oilier than women’s skin, doctors can often be a little more aggressive and use stronger topical treatments because their skin is a little more resilient. These could include over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide or prescription retinoids.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics for acne are starting to lose favor. Doctors now know that “chronic courses” of antibiotics (three months or longer) increase your risk of bacterial resistance. When you get a serious infection like MRSA and need hospitalization and IV antibiotics, that becomes a problem. It’s advised to use the smallest amount of antibiotics for the shortest time.

Accutane

If acne does not improve after one course of oral antibiotics, isotretinoin, a drug that shrinks oil pores, is usually prescribed instead of more antibiotics.

Two common reasons men’s acne flares up

Lastly, it’s important to note that there are two common pitfalls that lead to worsened breakouts in men.

Steroids

The use of corticosteroids, such as prednisone or dexamethasone, for anti-inflammatory purposes or to treat specific endocrine-type abnormalities can lead to exacerbations, To make matters worse, many athletes resort to anabolic steroids if they want to gain muscle mass or strength more quickly. Acne will surely worsen under those conditions.

Greasy skin products

If you use hair care products that get onto your face — whether on your hair or your facial hair — you can plug your hair follicles and invite acne to rear its ugly head. (That includes beard oils and waxes!)

More skincare companies are marketing men’s products.
Women always look for “non-comedogenic” or “pore-clogging” makeup and facial care products, but men don’t buy non-comedogenic products.

Our doctors can help you treat acne the proper way.

It’s Never Too Late To Treat Those Acne Scars | Shinagawa Blog

It’s Never Too Late To Get Rid of Acne Scars

/0 Comments/in /by

Although it’s not possible to get rid of your acne scars quickly, it’s never too late to treat them.

To decrease the likelihood of acne flare-ups, teens may have to wait until their early twenties to begin treatment.

While there’s no real way to get rid of acne scars naturally and at home, there are a few things you can do to reduce your risk of getting acne scars:

  • Quit smoking or don’t start smoking.
  • Keep your hands off of your face. Resist the urge to pick or squeeze your pimples.
  • Treat your acne as soon as possible to reduce the chance of scars.

Scarring can happen at any age, no matter if you’re a teenager and your hormones are changing or you’re an adult. Sometimes when adults lose weight or lose elasticity in their skin as they age, scarring from years past becomes more evident.

Subcision, a procedure that releases a scar from the muscle or deeper tissues, may be helpful before lasers or peels. Both of these techniques are used with deeper scars to bring them to the surface to enhance their response to the laser, chemical peel, or micro-needling.

Getting rid of acne scars starts with the right treatments. We have an array of effective treatments for acne at Shinagawa Aesthetics. Whatever age you may be, we can help you deal with your stubborn acne problems!

acne in 50s

Are You In Your 50s And Still Getting Acne? What Can You do?

/0 Comments/in /by

Many think acne is predominantly a teenage condition, but it actually peaks at two times in our lives.

We see a lot of acne in the teen years with the first rush of hormones into the system. But we also see acne affecting people in their 40s and even 50s, often around the mouth. Again, later outbreaks are related to hormones (from menopause, for example).

When you come to see a dermatologist, they will assess your acne. If it appears to be hormone-related, we may treat it with hormonal therapy, prescribing common oral contraceptive drugs or a drug like spironolactone.

However, the majority of acne can be controlled with topical medications, including:

  • Benzoyl peroxide-based creams or gels.
  • Topical antibiotics such as clindamycin lotion.
  • Topical vitamin A preparations, such as tretinoin cream or adapalene gel.

Guide to Using Benzoyl Peroxide for Acne

If you’re sensitive to other acne treatments, you should talk to your doctor before using benzoyl peroxide. Gels or creams with 10 percent or less benzoyl peroxide are available. Since benzoyl peroxide dries out the skin, it is best to start with a lower concentration (2.5 percent, for example) and let your skin get used to it.
Research shows that 5 to 10 percent benzoyl peroxide is safe and effective for treating acne, but it may take a few weeks for your skin to adjust to the product at that concentration. It has been shown that using benzoyl peroxide to treat acne while pregnant is bad for the baby.

Some over-the-counter products that contain alpha or beta hydroxy acids (like glycolic acid or salicylic acid) are also very helpful.

Also, as stress will definitely aggravate any skin condition, modifying the stress in your life as much as you can and adopting healthy stress management habits will help your skin condition.

Whatever age you may be, we can help you deal with your stubborn acne problems!
