5 Ways Sleep Deprivation Wrecks Your Skin

/0 Comments/in /by

“You got no rules, to be fabulous and gorgeous.” There are no rules for you to be pretty but abusing your skin by sleep deprivation can result in a bad effect your skin.
Here are five reasons why lack of sleep can have long term damage to your skin.

1. Can make you look older
When you sleep, your body recharges and your skin as well. Skin cells have time to repair themselves from daily damage, but when you are sleep deprived, your skin will not be able to heal itself and may increase your skin’s aging process.
2. Can cause breakouts
Stress hormone level naturally drops at night. Disrupting a good sleep cycle can cause oil glands to stimulate continuously, which can make you more likely to have acne breakouts.
3. Can cause dark circles
Having a dark circle is one of the common effects of sleep deprivation. Often accompanied by bags, dark circles can make you appear older than you are.
4. Can cause dull skin
Not having a good quality of sleep can increase your stress hormone level which triggers inflammation. Inflammation breaks down the proteins in the skin that keep skin smooth and radiant, in other words, it will lead your skin to have a dull complexion.
5. Can make your skin dry
Sleeping can rebalance the body’s hydration and helps to smooth out wrinkles in the skin. If you miss out on sleep it can also affect the moisture levels in your skin and lower your complexion’s PH level. This imbalance causes your skin to not produce the moisture it so desperately needs, leading to drier skin.

Getting enough sleep hours is very important. With the right Skin Rejuvenation treatments, improvements on the skin and physical appearance will no longer be difficult to achieve. There is a wide variety of skin treatment you can choose at Shinagawa that will surely bring youthful feels for you.

This The Season To Be Hair and Blemish-Free Skin

/0 Comments/in /by

It’s not just the time to be jolly but also the season to have laser treatments done. Here’s why…

Exposure to the sun before or after laser treatment increases the development of unwanted dark spots (hyperpigmentation) or light spots (hypopigmentation), which has long-term side effects.

Here are a few good reasons to consider:

1. Lessen your Sun Exposure — During this time of the year, the days are shorter and the nights longer. The colder temperature makes us want to expose under the sun longer. If your skin is darker than usual or if you just had a recent sun exposure, undergoing laser procedures could potentially increase your burn risk. Therefore you should avoid too much sun exposure, and applying and reapplying sunscreen is highly recommended.
2. Cover Up — Two weeks before and after laser treatment, you have to avoid exposing the treated areas under the sun. This is the perfect time to put on those long sleeves, turtlenecks, jackets and wide-brimmed hats.
3. Be patient, the best outcome takes time — Plan for at least 4-6 sessions over the course 6-7 months. Collagen remodelling and permanent hair reduction takes time, but once it happens, you’ll see a new you!
