Young skin tips


Your skin mirrors your lifestyle.

It reflects what you eat, drink or do.

So invest on your skin - keep it young with these simple lifestyle pointers.

Drink Plenty of Water - This aids in the elimination of wastes and toxins from the skin.
Adults need 1 to 1.5 liters of water a day.

Sleep - Get enough of it.
Skin renewal occurrence increases when you sleep. Tiredness deprives skin of the energy needed to recover and regenerate.

Frowning causes worry lines and constant stress emits negative energy to the skin.
For stress-relief, treat yourself to yoga classes, massages, or even a leisurely spa session.
For a quick fix, try lying down face up, close your eyes, and feel the muscles in your face relax. Do this for 60 seconds every time you feel the tension in your facial muscles.

One-hour facelift ?


"One hour face lift" is a marketing term for a mini lift which is designed primarily for superficial tightening.

It generally does not tighten the muscles nor the undermine the SMAS.

Thus, it does not last as long or provide as much improvement as a traditional face lift (also known as modern facelift).

With continual refinement of the traditional facelift technique, healing and costs have dramatically improved.

Can massaging the skin on the face and neck cause damage?


There are two layers of skin; the dermis and the epidermis.
Then there is another layer under these, called the subcutaneous layer.
All these layers together are essentially the thickness of typing paper on the face.
This subcutaneous layer also contains fat.
It's often called the subcutaneous layer of fat.

If you pinch and roll this layer you can actually break it down, causing damage.

Instead, you can gently work the face through massage and exercise, keeping in mind that "gentle" is the key word here and something miraculous happens.

But first a little talk about how the muscles attach in the body and in the face.

Muscles do attach from bone to bone in the body, essentially and from the bone directly into the skin on the face.

In the western culture where we show a lot of emotions on our face and therefore habitually create expression, we tend to create lines on our faces.

We are not creating lines in the muscles, but rather we're creating lines in this subcutaneous layer.. the analogy being as if you were to "score" cardboard… we tend to "score" this subcutaneous layer and the lines are created as we repeat a particular expression over and over again.
