Here are some skincare tips that will help you close off the year the right way!

With the new year upon us, it's a great time to look over your beauty routine and see if there are any resolutions you can adopt for even better skin in 2018. In some cases, the best thing you can do is avoid pitfalls of the past to make sure you're setting your skin up for success. 

• Beauty Shouldn’t Hurt

Regardless of what beauty magazines and well-meaning skincare professionals say, skin shouldn’t get worse before it gets better. Red, sensitized skin is always a sign of distress—if your exfoliant, retinol, or skincare product causes this reaction, it’s time to change your routine. It could be as simple as switching to a lower-strength exfoliant, but check all your products’ ingredient lists to be sure skin-sensitizing ingredients (like denatured alcohol) aren’t to blame. 

• Play it Cool While Cleansing

Avoid using hot or ice-cold water while cleansing: Both are damaging to skin, can lead to lingering redness, and prolong the staying time of acne. Lukewarm water should get the job done with any type of cleanser—and be sure to gently dab, not rub, your skin dry with a soft towel. 

• Skip the Long Bath

Long baths are relaxing for your muscles and your mind, but prolonged soaks stress your skin! When skin shows visible "pruning," it’s a sign of a compromised skin surface—Surprise! Too much water is damaging to skin. Too much time in the tub literally breaks down skin, keeping its surface from holding on to healthy substances like cholesterol and ceramides. These serve as the mortar that holds the "bricks" (the protein portion of your skin) together, keeping it feeling smooth, soft, and pliable.

• Kick the Addiction to Scrubs

Scrubbing away at skin like you’re trying to remove bad wallpaper is one of the most common ways people hurt their skin—it’s an antiquated way to exfoliate.

While AHA or BHA exfoliants are the best way to exfoliate skin, you don’t have to give up using a scrub altogether—just avoid those that are overly harsh, abrasive, or otherwise poorly formulated. Think of scrubs as an extra measure of cleansing, and always be gentle when using them on your face and body. 

• Pass (on) the Bar Soap

Bar soaps are always a bad idea for skin because of the residue they leave behind—blame the ingredients used to keep them in solid form: This filmy residue can initially feel good on skin, but with regular use it can worsen dry skin. If that weren’t enough, the alkaline pH level of bar soaps sensitizes skin. 

• Dump Your Abusive Skincare Products

Moisturizers, serums, sunscreens, and other products that contain skin-aggravating ingredients (like alcohol or fragrance) are easy to fall for. But, over the long-term, their drawbacks far outweigh any benefits—and your routine becomes a cycle of treating one concern (for example, acne) while developing another (for example, dry skin). Kick these abusive beauty products to the curb and don’t look back! 

• Perfume Has Nothing to Do with Skincare

We’ve all said it at least once in our lives—"I love this moisturizer, it just smells so good!" Unfortunately, what pleases your nose doesn’t make your skin happy. Highly fragranced products (whether from "essential oils" or other sources) may smell lovely, but they stink when it comes to keeping skin in top shape. 

• More is Not Always a Good Thing

Even a well-formulated product has the potential to do harm if it’s overused, so heed the directions for your exfoliant, retinol, or anti-acne solutions and experiment to find the balance that’s right for your skin.

Signs that your skin has had enough include a tight, lined, or pulled appearance (especially on waking up in the morning), redness, peeling, or sensitivity.

• Peel Now, Pay Later

Whether done at home or in a professional setting, facial peels can be a helpful part of a routine, especially when uneven skin tone is a concern. However, if you’re getting AHA, BHA, or other types of peels too frequently (or opting for ones that are too strong), their benefits can backfire.

Mild peels done at home should not be performed more than once or twice per month; deep peels performed by a doctor should be limited to once per year at most. The goal is to never tip the scales in favor of sensitizing skin, so use this type of exfoliation in moderation.

• Sunscreen is the Best Anti-Wrinkle Cream

Sunscreen is not nearly as flashy as the current beauty products being hyped on the market, but sunscreen has anti-wrinkle benefits that no other skincare product can touch. Unprotected sun exposure is the #1 cause of early skin aging, including wrinkles, sagging, and uneven skin tone. Want to look as young as you can as long as you can? Sunscreen is a daily necessity, 365 days per year, even if it’s cloudy—and your anti-aging products will work much better if you routinely shield your skin from ongoing exposure to daylight.

Here's how a Colon cleansing can help your skin...

What is a Colon Cleansing? 

A colon cleanse is the process of internally cleansing your intestines (bowels) by alleviating bowel discomfort, aiding the peristaltic functions, softening stool, and overall assisting in more frequent and comfortable bowel movements. Cleansing methods range from natural herbal formulas and careful, restrictive dieting, to enemas, hydrotherapy, colonoscopy, or other methods.

Some people cleanse to “help out” their bowels from consuming junk food.

Others, as you might, do it to figure out how to achieve healthier skin.

Benefits of a Colon Cleanse for Skin

The benefits of a colon cleanse for your skin are sundry. From the way your skin looks to the way your skin feels, a colon cleanse can tackle almost every facet of healthy skin.

Remember: the skin is just the tip of the benefits iceberg of colon cleanses.

• Colon cleanses can help reduce acne and blemishes.

While many people assume eating “junk food”–like fast-food burgers, french fries, and chips–contributes to acne, that’s not entirely true.

What is harmful, though, is getting grease on your face, drinking excessive diary products (milk, yoghurt), or consuming too much sugar.

When your body consumes sugar, it can spike your body’s blood sugar.

• Colon cleanses can help relieve inflammation.

When your intestinal functions are not playing at their A game, your body can shoot back with vengeance at your skin, and cause unsightly inflammation.

For example, some people unfortunately suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Because of an imbalance in their digestive track, they can experience a host of skin ailments, such as “metastatic lesions, reactive processes to the intestinal inflammation,” and other side effects.

The body then reacts to your body’s intestinal imbalance between the “mucosal epithelium, intestinal microbes, and host immune response“). The antigens between the bowel bacteria and skin don’t agree, essentially, and your skin may react negatively.

• Colon cleanses can help heal your skin.

Have you heard of “gut flora”? If you haven’t, I’m surprised. It’s been a hot topic since people have been hopping on the trend of probiotics.
Your gut is a microcosm of bacteria responsible for maintaining a healthy pH balance in your digestive tract.

• Colon cleanses can help overall physical health.

Your physical health is something to be enshrined. You don’t want to be sluggish, debilitated, or unable to do anything as you age. By helping your intestines more efficiently eliminate the waste that gets built-up in your bowels, you’re doing your entire body a favor.

And it’s not just your skin or your colon that benefits from a colon cleanse: it’s your entire body.

• For example, when people eat too much sugar and acquire Diabetes Type II, they suddenly have a higher chance of colon cancer.

While natural colon cleanses neither prevent nor treat colon cancer, it does demonstrate that your body needs all of your organs to function as best as they can; and when you allow your colon to be built up with junk, you risk your entire body’s health.

Dull and Tired Skin

Dull, Tired and Stressed skin. 

Imaging a veil over the skin, covering all complexion glows. Skin looks tired strained and no bounce in its step. Skin has overexposed itself and is being scavenged by extrinsic aging. People of all ages complain about a lack of energy. And it’s no wonder. We work long hours making it difficult to manage a personal life, are sleep deprived, and don’t have time to exercise, all while living in a polluted and stress-filled environment. These conditions deplete energy from the body and take their toll our skin too, leaving it dull and lacklustre. To understand the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic aging, look at the backs of your hands. What you see is the result of external, or extrinsic, aging. Now look at the inside of your wrist. The changes you see there are the result of intrinsic aging. 

Symptoms may also include: 

• Fine lines
• Coarse wrinkles
• Loss of elasticity
• Rough, scaly texture
• Dry, leathery appearance
• Broken capillaries

As we grow older, our cells become weaker and signs of damage are more noticeable, we are also constantly exposed to the UV rays of the sun, so our skin starts to appear dry and dull. This is the result of the outside layer of the skin getting excessive build up and is not exfoliated on a regular basis. Build-up is especially noticed after we have spent the summer in the sun. It is more apparent to women since we realise that our make-up doesn't look as fresh and our foundation begins to fade within a couple of hours. Our make-up and foundation is actually being absorbed into the accumulated dead skin cells, which gives a very tired and unhealthy look to the skin. Also as we age everything slows down and vital nutrients are not delivered quickly or well to where they are needed, a good diet is essential. 







Some causes for this could be:

Dryness and lack of proper exfoliation both contribute to skin cell debris.

Exhaustion - Trying to do too much in too little time is taxing both physically and emotionally.
Lack of sleep - For most people, an average of at least eight hours sleep a night is what the body’s immune system needs to fortify itself. Anything less than that and we suffer, whether we’re aware of it or not.
Stress - Our lives are filled with it, both good and bad.
Poor nutrition - When nutrition is good, it enhances body function and maintains steady blood sugar levels throughout the day. When it’s bad, it depletes the system and makes for destructive energy spikes and plunges (which in turn make for not-so-pretty mood swings.)

What you can do to fix that.

• Invest in a good quality exfoliating scrub that contains fruit acids, glycolic acid or abrasive beads that help slough away the dead cells on the surface of the skin. Dead skin cells don't reflect light well, instead making your skin look dry and dull.
• Apply an oil-free moisturizer several times daily. Dry skin can often take on a dull, chapped appearance that can make you look tired. Apply moisturizer each day, even if your skin doesn't feel dry. Look for one labeled "noncomedogenic" so you know it won't cause breakouts, even with frequent applications.
• Wear sunscreen every day. Sun damage can make your skin look discolored and dull, so it's important that a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or above becomes part of your daily skin care regimen. If adding a sunscreen sounds like too much of a bother, look for a daily moisturizer with a built-in sunscreen to help streamline your morning routine.
• Wear a tinted moisturizer instead of a thick and heavy foundation. A tinted moisturizer will help your skin's natural color and texture to shine through while adding light reflecting minerals to keep your skin looking bright. Heavy foundations and powders can dull the skin and give it a matte appearance, which can actually make you look older.

Waist Training Corset

What is waist training ?

Waist training is the process of wearing a tight item of clothing in order to achieve your desired body shape. Back in the 1800s, women wore corsets to force their waists into a desirable shape. Waist training is based on a similar idea.

Women who waist train will wear a corset for a few hours per day to get started. Then, they’ll gradually tighten that corset, wearing it for up to 18 hours per day – including at the gym.

Many people that do waist training claim it’s a proven, time-tested method of sculpting your body exactly how you want it.

Advantages of waist training 

Many people that do waist training claim that it comes with a number of unique and powerful advantages, including all of the following:

• Achieve an attractive hourglass shape and sculpt your body exactly the way you want it to look
• Shrink your stomach so you eat fewer overall calories
• Force your body into a new shape by conforming to the rigidity of the corset
• Improve posture

You will be able to experience weight loss results while wearing your corset.

Skin tightening with out surgery

Try Lipocontour Skin tightening with out surgery 

• The treatment area is measured and marked
• An ultrasound gel is applied to your skin
• A smooth handpiece is placed on your skin
• The ultrasound emits small thermal bursts to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin without disturbing the skin's surface

Lipocontour treatments focus ultrasonic energy to the dermal layer (the deep layer of your skin). Your skin above the focus point and tissue below the focus point are protected. New collagen growth is stimulated, which gradually lifts and tightens the skin. Multiple treatments may be needed. 

Lipocontour Ultrasound Cavitation is a new, revolutionary European fat removal technique that does NOT involve surgery - there is no need for anesthesia, any hospital stay or time off work. 

Safest way to get your skin in shape for summer.

Body Waxing for Men

Body Waxing for men is a simple and affordable method of hair removal. (Regrowth varies according to the individual. Sanitary state of the art techniques and waxes are key for a successful waxing session.

Unfortunately the first time you get waxed is always the most uncomfortable. This subsides with time as the ‪#‎hair‬ becomes thinner and easier to remove. I have undergone extensive training and have mastered various skills and techniques to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible. ‪

I am going on vacation. How soon should I get ‪waxed‬?
The recommended time before going on a date, vacation or preparing for any big event wedding day etc is 2 - 3 days. This will allow any redness to pass.

Body Waxing for Men
