Décolleté

The body's denser skin structure tends to tolerate a more active treatment like a chemical peel quite well. This is not the case with the décolleté. This area below the neck tends to respond to treatments and external stimuli more like the face than the rest of the body. The layer of adipose (fat) on the chest is the thinnest site on the body. Chemical peel treatments are effective in correcting hyperpigmentation and collagen production. Follow with a well-rounded body peel solution of TCA, Glycolic or with Kojic acid and Arbutin for melanin inhibition. The end result will be a visual improvement in the texture, tone, and moisture content of the décolleté. Besides being safe, efficient, and convenient, targeting this area this treatment can be done at home.

What's Your Skin Type?

We wish determining your skin type was as easy as figuring out your blood type. However, skin's a bit more complicated because your skin type changes as you age and will also change when your environment differs. Generally skin is categorized into the following types:

OILY- Oily skin is just that: skin that gets oily. Oily-skinned people tend to not be easily dried out from products. They also tend to get oily again an hour or so after cleansing. Shiny-looking skin, especially in the middle of the face and on the forehead, as well as larger pores, are characteristics of people with oily skin

DRY- Believe it or not, there is a difference between dry and dehydrated skin. If your skin is dry, it will feel tight after cleansing and even tighter if you don’t moisturize. Extremely dry skin is very uncomfortable and may even flake or itch. Dry skin occurs when you lack lipids in your skin barrier. Therefore, for some people, taking essential fatty acids, such as omega-3s, can remedy the dryness. People with dry skin also need richer moisturizers and gentler, less-stripping cleansers.
Dehydrated: Now, it seems like dehydrated skin and dry skin are the same thing, but there are subtle differences. Dry skin is the result of a lack of oil, while dehydrated skin is the result of a lack of water. You can have dry, oily, or any other skin type and still be dehydrated at the same time. So, dehydrated skin is more like a skin condition than a skin type. Dehydrated skin often feels a bit tight, exaggerating any fine lines. People with dehydrated skin sometimes experience skin that’s oily on the surface but dry underneath. This is usually from using a cleanser that is too stripping, but is easily remedied by stopping the use of harsh products. When your skin is dehydrated, it tries to overcompensate for it by producing more oil, which moisturizes but doesn't hydrate your skin.

COMBINATION- Combination skin is where some parts of your skin are oilier and/or drier than other parts. Usually the T-zone is the oily area while the cheeks are dry.

SENSITIVE- People with sensitive skin have to be extra careful about what they put on their skin. They could be easily irritated by fragrances, parabens  or other product ingredients. Sensitive skin, which is often thinner, tends to flush and turn red more easily. However, sensitive skin does not equal acne-prone skin. With sensitive skin, there are specific things your skin will and will not tolerate but that doesn't necessarily mean that products you are sensitive to will break you out. But, of course you can have sensitive skin and acne prone skin at the same time.


NORMAL- Saving the best for last! Normal skin is not dry or oily or sensitive. You can even call it a peaches and cream complexion. Pores are very unnoticeable and overall skin condition is pretty awesome. Normal skin is the ideal type of skin.
So there you have it, a very general breakdown of the different skin types. Knowing your skin type will help you make smarter decisions about what products to use on your face

Progressive or Quick and Dramatic Results

When selecting the appropriate chemical peel to treat a particular skin concern, downtime must to be taken into consideration.  One may not mind the significant downtime, redness and excessive flaking of nearly a week or longer. Downtime is their least concern in order to achieve the more dramatic results with a chemical peel such as a TCA. Another fact may be that one may have more time on their hands for the recovery. But one who is constantly on the run and has to face the public may wish to be more discreet about their peeling treatments thus a milder peel with no flaking or redness can be chosen such as Glycolic peel. This would be a more progressive approach but still very effective with longer period of time. In addition, if the skin concern is very stubborn then only effective treatment might be a deeper more aggressive peel.

Skin Care Routine for Men

 

Skin care is not just for women! A man’s skin needs attention and nourishment just as much. Before you start with a skincare routine, you’d need to find out your skin type: oily, normal/combination, dry, sensitive. Once you’ve figured that out, you might want to know what products to pick and how to use them.

Start by Cleansing            

If you are too lazy to do anything else, cleansing your face is the single most important thing you can do. Search for a good cleanser that your skin responds well to, and stick with it. If possible stay away from bar soaps as they often leave your skin feeling dry. But remember not to overdo it

To shave or not to shave

Hair growth in men is fairly regular. There’s no need  to shave daily. But whenever you do, ensure to choose a good razor and a shaving gel or cream that yields a close shave, kills bacteria, softens follicles and leaves the skin feeling smooth. Avoid using any shaving products that contain alcohol and parabens as they strip the natural oils from the skin leaving it dry and irritated

Exfoliation is essential

In order to remove dead skin cells and debris, exfoliation is a must. Moreover it stimulates circulation to add a healthy glow to your skin. A recent study proves that one of the reasons men’s skin looks more youthful than women’s is because men tend to exfoliate daily when they shave. Daily exfoliators with Glycolic or Salicylic acids are excellent. A deeper  chemical peel is highly recommended for a more dramatic results in your skin

Moisturize your skin

As men usually have oilier skin than women, they tend to wrinkle not as quickly. A light moisturizer and a nourishing cream is important to maintain moisture and prevent ageing. If at all shaving irritates your skin, try moisturizing your skin after a shave & ideally before going to bed

Sunscreen

Everyone is well aware that that sunscreen is the most important part of skincare regime. Sunscreen only works if you use it properly. SPF 15 is a good start but apply it half an hour prior to stepping outdoors. If you plan  to stay outdoors for longer, use SPF30

Taking care of your skin is perfectly normal and  looking your best just got easier
