Do You Have Sensitive or Sensitized Skin?

/0 Comments/in /by

Our skincare routine goes through changes just like we do. Sometimes, it’s angry and irritating, other times it’s soft and cuddly.

The hard part of distinguishing between sensitive and sensitized skin is that they have similar symptoms and appearances like itching, burning, swelling, redness, rashes, breakouts, dehydration, and uneven texture.

What’s the difference between sensitive and sensitized skin?

Sensitive skin

  • Tends to have less pigment in the skin and a thinner epidermis
  • Weaker/compromised skin barrier function
  • More of a genetic condition and something we’re born with

Sensitized Skin

  • A temporary condition
  • Caused by overusing chemical exfoliants or acne treatments which can dry out the skin and compromise the skin barrier
  • Can be healed and restored by certain ingredients and treatments

Ingredients that help soothe and restore skin barrier:

  • Centella Asiatica
  • Ceramides
  • Calendula
  • Green Tea
  • Oat Kernel Extract

The question now is, how can we help soothe and heal your skin back to normal?

Sensitive or sensitized, our doctors can take a look at your skin and develop a treatment plan that can bring out your brightest glow.

The Gibbs Guide: LASIK Experience At Shinagawa | Shinagawa Feature Story

The Gibbs Guide: LASIK Experience At Shinagawa

/0 Comments/in , /by

Being performers and influencers are no easy task, especially if you have blurry vision.

Gibbs sisters Gabs and Chi are no strangers to the struggles of the everyday grind due to poor eyesight.

“We always had a hard time seeing things during events and interviews. We can’t see the crowd when we perform. It was that blurry” bared Gabs.

“I always get nervous in times when we need to read from the prompter. I know I won’t see the prompter. The thing with glasses is not every outfit matches them”, added Chi.

Good thing for them, they finally got the breakthrough that they needed by deciding to have LASIK at Shinagawa to fix all their visual woes. Aside from the need for it, they shared the factors that made them decide to do so.

“It was the perfect time for us to do LASIK since we’re in quarantine and we’re at home most of the time. We saw a bunch of videos of people we know who went to Shinagawa for LASIK and that really convinced us. We saw all the videos of Mimiyuuuhhh, David (Guison), and Anne (Curtis),” shared Chi.

“We got the ULTRA LASIK, which is the procedure that gives you the quickest time to recover,” said Gabs. “Since my astigmatism was so high, I used to have headaches most of the time. After LASIK, I haven’t had headaches since.”

Now experiencing the comfort and better quality of life that LASIK gave, Gabs has friendly advice for those who are struggling with blurry vision.

“LASIK is a serious thing to think about. It’s a long-term thing. It’s something to save up for!”

Could LASIK Be Right For You? | Shinagawa Blog

Could LASIK Be Right For You?

Having LASIK is bound to be a life-changing decision for the better. That’s why it’s very critical to know the procedure in-depth and make sure that it will perfectly fit you.

LASIK consultation and screening are designed to make sure each aspirant is qualified to have the procedure safely.

During a LASIK consultation and screening, doctors make it a point to:

  • Conduct necessary eye exams
  • Explain to you how LASIK can improve your vision
  • Test for eye conditions that can affect your surgical options
  • Make sure you’re comfortable with and knowledgeable about LASIK
  • Identify if you are qualified or not for LASIK through an in-depth screening
  • Help you understand what to expect from the procedure
  • LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileuses)

With LASIK surgery, a thin layer of tissue called a “flap” is created on the surface of the cornea. With the flap gently lifted, a laser delivers light energy to the cornea. This reshapes the cornea, allowing light rays to focus properly on the retina, which provides sharp, clear vision. Following the procedure, the flap is set back in place and serves as a natural bandage, allowing your eye to heal properly.

Now that you’ve learned more about LASIK, the procedure that is designed and tested to be able to give you the freedom from glasses and contacts you’ve been looking for, you can be more confident about having it!

You’ve already taken the first step by learning more about the procedure to find out why LASIK is worth considering.

Stopping Your Makeup From Melting During Summer | Shinagawa Blog

Stopping Your Makeup From Melting During Summer

/0 Comments/in /by

When the temperature rises, saving your makeup from melting is one of the biggest beauty woes for women.

To make sure your foundation lasts longer and your eye makeup doesn’t melt, we’ve got a few hacks that will surely help you.

Here are tips you must follow to sweat-proof your makeup:

Blotting paper
Your summer makeup kit is incomplete without blotting papers. After applying the foundation, place the paper and lightly powder. This will help to get rid of excess oil and help to lock the makeup.

Foundation application
Applying foundation in such weather can be tricky. Make sure you apply it the right way. Instead of just applying with your fingers, use a beauty sponge. Use only a little amount of foundation on it and buff onto skin in circular motions. Try to use less foundation and apply evenly for full coverage.

Primer
In such weather, you must invest in a good primer. Look for an oil-free primer. It will help to give you a flawless finish and also lock your foundation for more hours.

Setting spray
If you are heading out during the day and don’t want your makeup to melt, then a setting spray will be your savior. It will help to keep your makeup in place and make it sweatproof.

Choose waterproof formulas
Swap your regular makeup products with waterproof ones especially for liners and mascara. It will help to combat all the heat and won’t melt at all.

These tips can help your look and so do beauty treatments to complement your best routine. Know what treatments can make you look more stunning! Schedule a derma consultation at Shinagawa Aesthetics.
