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.

Lasik and Sports

Lasik and Sports : Winning Combination

/0 Comments/in , /by

If you use glasses or contacts, sports can seem like a distant memory.

It is highly suggested that you use eye protection in addition to glasses or contacts when participating in team sports such as basketball. Individual sports such as running and tennis may not necessarily require protective eyewear, but throughout a marathon or a long tennis match, your glasses or contacts may begin to feel like lead weights, or your contacts may itch and burn.

Do you want a better option? Consider a different combination: LASIK and sports.

Focus on what Counts

If you’re new to a sport, glasses or contacts may appear unimportant. However, many sportsmen grow frustrated at the need to continually carry protective lenses or make sure they don’t lose contact just before a big game. If you lose contact or damage your protective eyewear, your field performance will be affected. You won’t realize your full potential, regardless of your talent. Contacts or glasses are holding you back.

Not to mention the cost of purchasing new prescription sunglasses and protective eyewear. Basketball, badminton, baseball, kayaking, and mountain riding may require two or three pairs of glasses. Corrective glasses for the house, gym, sun, and water might be expensive.

Improved Performance

LASIK patients can attain 20/10 eyesight, which benefits athletes. Clear vision aids basketball, diving, football, and table tennis players. Not all gifted athletes have “normal” sight. LASIK and sports are now linked. Laser vision correction from Shinagawa helps many athletes.

PBA players June Mar Fajardo, and Alex Cabagnot, and volleyball players Mika Reyes and Denise Lazaro have had successful procedures.

LASIK reshapes your eye’s outer layer to direct light onto your cornea. This will help you see 20/20—sometimes even 20/10. Shinagawa surgeons can improve your vision in 10 minutes using the latest excimer laser technology. You’ll see a big change the next day. You can play, skate, or run again in a few weeks. LASIK or not, contact sports require eye protection.

Don’t let glasses or contacts hold you back. LASIK and sports are a winning combination that can help you maximize performance.

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.
