Choosing The Right Skin Products For You

/0 Comments/in /by

There are way too many beauty products out there in the market but how do you exactly choose the right ones for your skin?

Don’t rely too much on fancy advertising and packaging. Know what to look for in the ingredients, and have the proper regimen to follow for you to have a more beautiful skin that is smoother, more radiant, and more youthful-looking.

Be guided accordingly to know which skin products can be beneficial for you.

Picking The Right Products

  1. Go for less quantity at first. At first, buy a smaller amount, and don’t directly apply on face. Try on other areas of your skin to see how you react to it. If you don’t suffer any bad reactions, you’re fine to use it more broadly. Then if you like the product, you can always buy more.
  2. Find a high-quality moisturizer. While this is the last place you want to use “bargain” products, be sure you are not paying for fancy packaging and heavy advertising budgets and above all, read the label carefully
  3. Pick an exfoliator. Exfoliation is one of the mainstays of improving your skin’s youthfulness by using the human body’s own amazing healing power. The two primary products for exfoliating are microdermabrasion creams and glycolic acid cleansers.
  4. Find a product to rejuvenate the collagen in your skin that has naturally diminished with age.
  5. Stick with a reliable skin regimen. Once you have your arsenal of skincare products on hand, following a careful regimen will give you the younger-looking, radiant, smooth skin you desire.

Here is a reliable process you need to observe. Follow it faithfully and you will see amazing results within a few weeks.

Morning: Wash your face with a quality skin cleanser, apply a moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid, then a UVA/UVB sunblock and finally, your makeup.

Evening: depending on your skin type, exfoliate daily with 10% glycolic acid or 2-3 times a week with microdermabrasion cream. Rinse well with clear water, then apply a multi-peptide cream before bedtime.

Considering Relevant Factors

  1. Consider any skin issues. Think if you have any skin-related issue like wrinkles, marks, pimples, blackheads, or acne, you can buy products to help with that. Certain products may also cause burning or itching, or aggravate sensitive skin, so you want to be particularly careful if your skin is already sensitive.
  2. Keep in mind any allergies you have. Read the ingredients of the skin products to avoid any issues.
  3. Know your skin type. Judge whether the skin is oily, dry, a combination of both or sensitive. You’ll want to buy products specifically for that type.
  4. Decide how much you can spend. The price of skincare products varies a lot between brands. You don’t necessarily have to spend a lot to get good results.
  5. If you have specific skin issues and aren’t sure how best to help them, consult a dermatologist.

Too distant to have LASIK at Shinagawa? Not a problem. Not even distance can keep someone away from a perfect vision.

Take the case of Australia-based wife, mom and career woman Jaye Magyani-Vijandre, who flew from Melbourne to Manila just to have her LASIK for brighter eyesight.

For most of her life, Jaye, who has been living in Melbourne for over 11 years now, was used to dealing with blurry vision and eyeglasses but after having three kids to attend to, she knew it was time to end her agony, and chase the convenience that bright eyesight can provide her life.

Aware of Shinagawa’s LASIK and the results it has given a lot of patients already, Jaye, who can’t afford to have blurry vision anymore, never hesitated and went back home for two weeks just to have her procedure done. It most certainly paid off.

“It’s amazing what LASIK did for me and my eyesight! Based in Australia, I went back home to the Philippines just to have LASIK at Shinagawa as it was worth the trip,” gladly shared Jaye. “For a wife, mom of three kids and a career woman, it is really important for me to have brighter eyesight to have an easier everyday life as I juggle a lot of things. LASIK was able to give me that. I know have a 20/10 vision, yes, that’s even better than 20/20!”

For the longest time, she dealt with the inconvenience of having poor eyesight, urging her to finally find a solution for good. And that happened to be LASIK.

“Taking care of three kids all at the same time is no joke. My bright vision makes it easier as I won’t have to deal anymore with problems with glasses, something that used to get lost and broken often. Given also my work and my started career as a mom-vlogger, this brighter vision definitely gives me a lot of advantage now.”
