Skin Care Essentials – A Beginner’s Guide

/0 Comments/in /by

You want healthy skin. But entering a cosmetic store—or even the drug store’s skincare aisle—can be intimidating.

With so many products promising to improve your skin, it’s hard to choose.

Skin type and goals should determine a skincare routine. Younger people should protect their skin from pollutants and the sun. Addressing acne is critical. Preventing fine lines, discoloration, and other aging indicators may be necessary for mature skin.

A simple routine may make your skin look and feel amazing.

Say Goodbye to Confusion: Here’s A Simple Guide to Essential Skin Care for Beginners

In the morning

Cleanser: Even though your face feels clean in the morning, she suggests washing it with a moderate, non-medicated cleanser to avoid drying it out.
Antioxidant cream, serum, or oil: You want antioxidants like vitamins C or E or ferulic acid. Antioxidants moisturize and brighten skin. They also shield the skin from environmental free radicals.

UV protection: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30. This may be in your previous cream or your next concealer or foundation. Apply face sunscreen if not.
After these processes, you can apply cosmetics if you choose.

In the evening

Late-night skin care is your priority. Here’s how;

Makeup Remover: Use a makeup remover first because most cleansers won’t remove all makeup. Wipes, micellar water, and balms remove makeup.

Cleanser: You can use your morning gentle cleanser or a different one for your skin type. Salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide face washes may help acne-prone skin. Glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, brightens and decreases pigmentation in people in their 30s and 40s.

Toner: Toner can remove dirt and makeup that your cleanser missed if you don’t use a makeup remover first. This is best for oily skin. Alcohol-based toners can dry and irritate the skin.

Night cream: Finish your nighttime routine with a vitamin A-based cream to create collagen and keep skin fresh. Tretinoin, retinol, or adapalene are advised. Add a ceramide or hyaluronic acid moisturizer if it dries your skin.

Not just makeup.

If you don’t take care of your skin from the inside out, no product will provide you with beautiful, glowing skin. Your skin, like the rest of your body, needs appropriate sleep, stress management, and a balanced diet.
Dermatologists provide the greatest beauty advice.

does eye shape affect vision

Does Eye Shape Affects Vision?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Eye shapes play a crucial role in vision.

The cornea and crystalline lens focus light in the eye. Light passes through the vitreous humor, a clear gel inside the eye, and strikes the retina at the back. The retina’s rods and cones pick up light and send a clean image to the optic nerve and brain’s visual cortex if everything is working properly. The cornea and lens concentrate light based on the eye’s shape and the distance from the lens to the retina. These shapes produce myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

Myopia or Nearsightedness

Myopia, the most common vision problem across the world, is caused by abnormal eye shape. Generally, myopic eyes are longer than normal—the distance from the cornea to the retina is greater than in a normal eye. This causes light to converge in focus too soon, before hitting the retina, so by the time it hits the retina it is blurry. Nearsighted patients can usually see close objects clearly but have poor distance vision.

Hyperopia or Farsightedness

Hyperopia is the opposite of myopia—the eye is too short. The point where light would converge in focus in the eye is behind the cornea, so the light does not have enough distance to travel. This prevents farsighted patients from clearly focusing on close objects.

Astigmatism vis

While hyperopia and myopia are caused by overall eye shapes, astigmatism is caused by the shape of the cornea itself. Normal corneas are curved equally in all directions, like a section of the outside of a ball. Astigmatic corneas are curved irregularly, like the surface of a football. This prevents light in the eye from focusing at a single point and causes distorted vision.

LASIK and Eye Shapes

LASIK treats these problems not by reshaping the eye, but rather by reshaping the cornea to make up for the shape of the eye. For myopic eyes, the cornea is flattened, causing light to converge at the cornea instead of before it. LASIK for hyperopia does the opposite—the curvature of the cornea is increased to focus light closer. For astigmatism, the curve is simply evened out to provide a clear focus.

The shape of your eyes determines how good your vision is naturally. Fortunately, LASIK can correct irregularly shaped eyes.

After enduring the lows of having blurry vision for over a decade, Erika Miyata, a Filipino-Japanese Jill of all trades, decided she needed her best version and that’s only possible with a bright eyesight.

She finally decided it’s time for LASIK.

“Ever since bata ako, malabo mata ko and I was really using contact lens for a really long time. Sobrang hirap playing for varsity before and until I got to the point I started working already,” shared Erika, an Operations Manager.

“That’s why thankful ako I was able to have LASIK still kahit matagal ako nag-contact lens, nakaya pa rin with advanced technology. Everything’s much clearer and easier now!”

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.
