Je vindt het tijd voor een compleet nieuwe haarstijl. Je gaat naar de kapper en hebt precies in je hoofd wat je wil, misschien zelfs wel plaatjes bij je om het aan de kapper te laten zien. De kapster begint te knippen, maar als je uiteindelijk in de spiegel kijkt kun je wel huilen. Dit was totaal niet wat je in gedachten had. Maar je lokken liggen al op de grond, het kwaad is al geschied. Lees in dit artikel wat je kunt doen bij verknipthaar.
Allereerst is het belangrijk om de schade te bekijken. Valt er nog wat van te maken, of is het echt zo verkeerd geknipt dat je er niks meer mee kunt doen? Lees hier de verschillende opties.
Terug naar de kapper gaan
Een goede optie is om terug naar de kapper te gaan. Dit is absoluut niet vreemd, je
bt immers betaald voor iets waar je niet tevreden mee bent, het is heel normaal om de kapster hierop te wijzen. Leg rustig uit dat je niet tevreden bent met datgene dat de kapster geknipt heeft. De klant is koning, en daarom zullen vrijwel alle kappers proberen je wel weer tevreden te stellen. Heeft de vorige keer een bepaalde kapster het verpest, vraag dan om een andere kapster.
Maak er zelf iets van
Als het zo kort is dat er niets meer van te knippen valt, dan zit er niets anders op dan er zelf iets van te maken. Koop een paar leuke haarbandjes, petten of mutsen. Draag deze totdat je haar weer een beetje is bijgegroeid. Ook kun je met een paar schuifspeldjes al een hoop veranderen en verbergen.
Clip in extensions
Je kunt altijd nog gebruik maken van extensions, het liefst clip-in-extensions aangezien die niet schadelijk zijn voor je haar. Deze zijn veel verkrijgbaar via internet, maar waarschijnlijk weet je kapper ook wel waar je ze kunt krijgen. Deze extensions zet je met een clipje in je haar vast, en het lijkt alsof je een mooie lange bos haar hebt.
Uiteindelijk is het belangrijkste dat je je realiseert dat een verknipt kapsel niet het einde is, maar dat er nu eenmaal niets meer aan te doen is en dat je het accepteert. Je haar groeit immers wel weer aan!

Natuurlijk is het gezond om elke nacht lang genoeg te slapen en een gezonde voedingsstijl te hanteren. Dit gaat niet altijd even makkelijk, en daarom is het ook niet vreemd dat vele vrouwen in hun drukke leven vaak te kampen hebben met een vermoeide uitstraling. Je ziet er bleker uit, hebt wallen en je haar ziet er onverzorgd uit. Lees in dit artikel hoe je in een korte tijd een wakkerelook kunt creëren!
Stap als je wakker wordt meteen even onder de douche. Dit frist je sowieso op. Gebruik je favoriete douchegel, en, als je nog wel even wat tijd hebt, was gelijk je haar. Laat je haar aan de lucht drogen terwijl je make-up aanbrengt:
Pak nu je make-up tasje erbij, zorg dat je haar uit je gezicht is, en begin met
het aanbrengen van een lichte concealer (het liefst met een rozige teint) voor onder je ogen. Dep het in je huid, niet smeren dus!
Breng vluchtig wat vloeibare foundation (dun laagje) aan, en poeder slechts je t-zone af. Je wilt immers een gezond glansje behouden.
Gebruik nu een lichte oogschaduw. Breng het vooral aan in je ooghoeken, en laat het vervagen in een iets donkere tint naar de buitenkant van je oogleden toe. Breng een wit of huidskleurig lijntje onder je ogen aan met een oogpotlood.
Krul je wimpers (indien nodig) en breng een laagje bruine mascara aan. Dit geeft een natuurlijk effect.
Je haar is inmiddels wel weer een beetje gedroogd. Borstel het goed door, en gooi je haar in een staart of een strakke knot. Hierdoor krijgt je gezicht een open uitstraling. Trek kleren aan waarin je je zowel gemakkelijk als mooi voelt. Eet producten bij je ontbijt waar vezels inzitten: deze geven je energie! Zorg er voor de rest voor dat je op tijd naar bed gaat, zodat je de volgende dag écht fris en fruitig bent.

Eva Longoria made a beauty blunder when she recently stepped out with white powder caked under her eyes. One would wonder why would a celeb like Eva leave the house with makeup residue all over her face?
Some speculated that the powder was left over from her eye makeup application but in fact what Eva is wearing was not visible to the naked eye. Eva is usingMakeup Forever’s Microfinish Powder HD, which is used to set concealer and foundation. While the high-def powder is supposed to be invisible face to face and through the camera lens – it didn’t work in Eva’s case- oops!
UPDATE: A representative from Makeup Forever has contacted us to say the linking of their HD Microfinish Powder to Eva Longoria is incorrect. Eva is NOT wearing their powder in the image above to the best of their knowledge. The original source of this information was incorrect and has since provided a retraction.

Angelina was spotted discreetly swiping on a layer of the baby pink gloss while at the 2011 Golden Globes. The green tea infused formula conditions her lips better than any lip balm.
You can get the same exact gloss Angelina is seen above wearing from
Jersey Shore’sSammi “Sweetheart” recently revealed her svelt bikini bod inOk! Magazine after dropping 15 lbs. Sammi had to resist the temptation of sugary drinks and hearty italian meals while staying at the Jersey Shore house. Instead she turned to drinking lots of water, eating moderate portions, saying no to carb-loaded pasta, and drinking alcohol occasionally.
Sammi also puts the “G” in her GTL by hitting the gym several times a week. She says even if she feels like crap (like after getting in a right with Ronnie) she’ll never run less than a mile. Sammi also uses light weights to tone up.

Je voeten krijgen veel te verduren op een dag, veel lopen, hoge hakken en van de warmte de kou in en andersom. Daarom is het fijn om je voeten zo nu en dan eens flink te verwennen! Een professionele pedicure kan erg duur zijn, maar zelf kun je je voeten makkelijk een eigenpedicure geven!
- Pak een grote teil en vul hem met warm water. Doe er voetenzeep in, of iets anders dat reinigend en kalmerend voor je voeten werkt (bijvoorbeeld soda of voetenbruistabletten). Steek je voeten erin en relax voor 10 minuutjes. Je kunt eventueel nog tijdens het wachten je voeten masseren.
- Masseer je voeten met een voetenscrub. Deze kun je in pakjes kopen bij de drogist of parfumeriën. Hiermee verwijder je dode huidcellen en worden je voeten lekker zacht.
- Droog je voeten goed af. Verwijder met een eeltschaaf overtollig eelt indien nodig, en met een bokkepootje kun je de nagelriemen van je teennagels terugduwen (voorzichtig en zorgzaam, je wilt natuurlijk niet dat ze gaan ontsteken!).
- Knip nu je nagels met een nagelknippertje af. In de winter zijn korte nagels het handigste, maar in de zomer kun je ze natuurlijk ietsje langer laten als je dat mooi vindt.
- Gebruik nu een vijltje om de scherpe hoekjes van je nagels mooi rond te vijlen.
- Nu kun je je teennagels een leuk kleurtje geven. Breng eerst een basislak aan of breng twee keer de gewenste kleur aan. Zo blijft deze langer zitten. Je kunt eventueel nog een top laagje aanbrengen voor extra glans.
- Als ook je nagels helemaal gedroogd zijn. kun je je voeten insmeren met een lekkere bodylotion. Klaar is je pedicure!
Why do girls dress up games, as Heath Have you ever been to Disney parks lately? If yes, then you will see all the girls dressed as Disney Princess? They do not wear them only when they visited the Magic Kingdom, they have them in hand, play, and just like that! Little girls love to dress up games – but that’s why she was so attractive to them?
Every child likes to pretend, boys and girls and love magic make believe. They are entitled to go into their world where they can be anything. Small children can be a fireman, astronaut or doctor. Little girls love to dress up and play at home and a daughter. Both boys and girls love to dress up games, but somehow the girl seemed to assume such a way that boys do not.
So why do girls like to play dress up games? Not only is there a reason why she enjoyed dressing up, but it may have something to do with my female intuition. Most women like to make themselves beautiful for special occasions and so it is natural for little girls to enjoy the same thing. They saw their mother’s dress and wearing beautiful jewelry, and they want to be like them.
But watching a dress until the mother is not only because the girls dress up to enjoy the game. The program dress-UPS is a great way for girls to interact with their friends. Even when the girls get older, they wanted to gather with friends and try new clothes, cosmetics and jewelry. This seems to be part of growing up as a girl wants to spend time with friends and play dress up!
These days, girls like to play dress up games more than ever. There are so many examples of fun for them. Perhaps the greatest example of children is the Disneyprincesses, that they see in movies, and when they visited the amusement park. Disney figured it out, and they did suit my dear daughter, that every little girl could be his own daughter.
In addition to playing real-dressed, there are a lot of fun interactive games that girls can play. There are computer games found that allows women to dress a virtual model of what they want. They can even design clothes to dress their virtual friends in. Who knows, perhaps a budding fashion designer in the family!
The dress is part of normal life for most young girls and even boys. Let your kids explore their creative potential and enjoy pretending to be someone else for a while! By Charmaine Laurel

(Warning:: Never use any of the above products if they contain an ingredient you may be allergic to)
There are plenty of ingredients that you have at home and you can use to create your own beauty products.
Here is a collection of tips and tricks to make you naturally beautiful:
- Make a homemade beauty facial scrub from grapes. Mash a handful of grapes. Strain them to separate the pulp from the juice. Remove the skins and mash the pulp and juice with 1 tablespoon of almond flour.
- Make a homemade hair rinse. Use Aloe vera gel to thicken your hair. Massage it into your scalp then leave it for 15 minutes before rinsing.
- Make a homemade beauty facial mask with sugar and oil. Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with a few drops of olive oil for a sweet facial exfoliant. This can be mixed in larger quantities for full body exfoliation.
- Make a homemade beauty facial mask with honey and bananas. Make sure the bananas are not overripe. Mash 2 teaspoons of ashed banana, 2 teaspoons of rolled oats, 1 teaspoon of milk and 1 teaspoon honey. After 10 minutes, massage it into your face. Allow it to sit for 5 more minutes and then rinse with warm water.
How do scrubs work? The scrub, when on, is a king of peel. The dead skin cells adhere to the slightly dried paste and are removed by the friction created when you gently massage it over your face. The result is a healthier looking and refreshed skin.
If your skin is dry and easily irritated, don’t wash more than once a day. You may risk stripping the skin of its natural oils. Dr. Franks recommends looking for non-irritating cleansing washes that are soap-free, moisturizers that are light, oil-free, and water-based to help maintain the skin’s natural barrier.
For a skin softening bath, add 1/4 cup honey to the water, and 1 teaspoon of lemon.
And more:
- Make a homemade beauty facial mask with apples or pears. Add the piece of fruit to one tablespoon of honey.
- Make a homemade moisturizing exfoliant. (do not use in your face) In an air-tight jar, mix together the sugar, the salts and the coffee granules (the concentration of the ingredientes is not important at this point, just experiment with different quantities) Add in the oil. Rub all over your skin in the shower, and then rinse off thoroughly. The mixture will naturally become quite oily. Next, pat the skin dry with a towel.Your skin will be soft and smooth.
- Make a homemade moisturizing whitening bath for your nails. Get a bowl with plenty of lemon juice as to cover your nais. Clean your nails, removing any polish you may have on. Dip your nails in the bowl, and keep them there for two minutes. Rinse your nails and apply hand lotion for best results.

It may sound strange to be discussing beauty tips for men, but men are just as concerned about their appearance as women. However, they may not be aware that there are many helpful ways to enhance the impression they portray to others. This is not only important when enjoying the company of women, but also vital for business and social settings. Here are three essential beauty tips for men that one would be amiss to ignore.
1. Physical Grooming -- The first area that should receive attention is physical grooming. Men often feel that the daily shower and shave process is all the cleansing needed. This is not true. Everyone, men and women alike should pay special attention to good facial cleansing morning and night, including weekly facial masks to cleanse pores to prevent blackheads. This is definitely not an exclusive feminine grooming need. Following thorough cleansing, trim or otherwise remove any wild hairs on the eyebrows, nose and ears. Most barbers perform this trim as part of the regular haircut, but the need will often arise between barber visits.
Concerning the shaving process, another tip is important. Men should either be cleanly shaven or wear a neatly trimmed beard. The stubble look portrays a look of laziness and is no longer fashionable. Experiment with aftershaves and colognes to find the right fragrance for your body chemistry. Men should always smell nice, but the wrong or too strong a fragrance will be offensive.
2. Cosmetics (You Heard Me!) -- The next area of beauty tips for men may be surprising. Most men think that wearing makeup is not even to be considered. However, there are makeup products made especially for men and one of the most popular is called a guyliner, which is regularly used by many celebrities. Using a small amount of dark eye shadow on the eye lids will emphasize your eyes and produce a smoky and sexy look. If you have uneven skin tone on your face, a little foundation can be used to blend away the blotchy look. And keep a tube of lip balm with you at all times to keep your lips moist, especially if you hope a date will end with a goodnight kiss.
3. Context-Driven Style -- No list of tips would be complete without addressing clothing. The most important consideration is the type of occasion for which you will dressing, from an elegant restaurant, a serious business meeting or a movie date. Every man should possess at least one high quality suit, with appropriate shirts and ties. If you are unsure of the right style, enlist the help of knowledgeable staff at a fine clothing shop. Clothing does not have to be expensive, just well fitting and stylish, but the correct clothing is certainly worth the price. When dressing, to help ensure you are wrinkle free, hang your clothing in the bathroom while you shower. The steam will remove any wrinkles.
Incorporating a few of these beauty tips for men into your daily regimen will make you stand out in a positive way and give you the natural confidence that will make you look good as well as feel good.

According to the dictionary, honey is a sweet yellowish or brownish fluid produced by various bees from the nectar of flowers. Besides using honey as food, did you know that honey is one of the oldest and most effective beauty aids?
Honey contains waxes, sugars, and traces of minerals. It is a natural moisturizer, as well as an anti-irritant making it suitable for sensitive skin types. Honey can be found in many of the beauty products you find in your local drug store or favorite beauty supply store. Some of these products can be very expensive to purchase and many of these products can be made at home.
Try some of the following honey beauty tips below. Please be sure not to use honey on your skin if you are allergic to it!
1. Honey mask: Apply pure honey to your face and allow it to set until dry. This will take about 15 minutes. Once dry, rinse your face with warm water.
2. Body glow bath: To moisturize, smooth, and get an all over body glow, keep a jar of honey next to your bath. Apply honey on your skin and pat dry using both hands. While patting your skin, the honey will get sticky and gently pull up your skin. Rinse away the honey when you are done. The results will be great circulation and beautiful, glowing skin!
3. Honey bath: For sweet smelling and soft skin, add ¼ to ½ cup of honey to your bath water.
4. Honey scrub: Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with a little almond flour into the palm of your hand. Gently apply on your face for a facial scrub. Rinse your face with warm water to remove honey scrub.
5. Daily facial cleanser: Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with a little milk powder into the palm of your hand. Apply on your face to clean away dirt and makeup and then rinse with warm water.
6. Shiny Hair: To add some shine to your hair, mix 1 teaspoon of honey, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and 1 quart of warm water. Shampoo your hair as usual and then pour the honey mixture on your hair. Allow your hair to dry as normal. You do not have to rinse out the honey mixture.
7. Hair conditioner: For healthy hair and scalp, combine ½ cup of honey and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Saturate your hair with the honey mixture, put on a shower cap and allow it to remain on hair for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, shampoo and rinse your hair as you normally do.
8. Skin toner: To firm, smooth, and moisturize your skin, combine 1 peeled, cored apple with 1 tablespoon of honey in a blender. Pulse honey mixture until smooth. Gently apply honey mixture on face and allow it to remain for 15 minutes. Rinse your face with warm water to remove the honey mixture.
With the above beauty tips, you can create affordable spa-like products at home. Honey is a wonderful beauty product because it contains naturally occurring enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. Be sure your honey is all natural by purchasing only 100% pure honey to create your beauty products.

Having dry skin produces marks and blemishes on affected areas, most especially the face. Not before long, these unsightly details will begin to spread, covering much of the facial region. This condition has plagued the lives of many people, as they mar a face’s beautiful features. There is a way to get rid of acne. You can purchase or make your own acne skin treatment for dry skin.
Removing pimples, skin flakes and whiteheads – for those with dry skin – entails moisturizing the skin, otherwise the threat of acne returning is always high. Natural acne treatments that also act as moisturizers are the items for the job. These remedies unclog your pores and help your skin produce enough moisture, to prevent the development of acne. The flakes and pimples won’t disappear overnight, but it won’t take long before you notice the difference.
Specially formulated natural solutions are found at pharmacies and specialty stores. Free from chemicals, these remedies contain herbal extracts or vitamin E and zinc, which help you get rid of acne. Furthermore, they are mixed with natural moisturizers, like glycerin and milk, to give your skin a healthy glow. These products are aptly labeled: “For dry skin.”
If you have dry skin, shy away from products that act as acne skin treatment for oily skin. Pimples might be reduced in color and size; however, the face will still be flaky, since these products are made to dry out pimples. Naturally, it will have the same effect on your skin.

Have you become so frustrated with the results over the counter treatments have given you that you are seriously considering acne care laser skin treatment? You are not alone in feeling that the slow acting, often irritating topical solutions for ridding the skin of acne don’t really give you what you pay for. There has to be a better way of achieving clear skin than undergoing clinical procedures.
Most people that don’t find the level of success they are after with the over the counter skin care products that are available, first seek the advise of a doctor before proceeding with a clinical procedure. The hope here is that the doctor will prescribe some sort of effective solution to end your problem. The doctor is most likely to prescribe you retinoids, but are they any better than what you have been using?
You might want to try these vitamin A derivatives before you commit yourself to acne care laser skin treatment. These formulas are touted as being more effective that over the counter acne products are, but they will still take a few weeks in order to work. These products can be very harsh to your skin, as they are much more powerful than your average store bought product is.
You can expect your skin to become red and irritated, you may experience a warm or tingly sensation, and the product may cause your skin to sting, itch, and burn. The skin will become increasingly dry, and eventually it will begin to peel. Many users have even felt that their acne appeared to be much worse than before they began treatment, but eventually everything should work out.
The reason that I would advise you to seek out every option before undergoing any sort of acne care laser skin treatment is because these clinical procedures can actually do the skin more harm that good. All that these treatments do is remove layers of the skin, while the keratin and sebum plugs that clog the sebaceous follicles occurs too far down for these treatments to reach.
It is when the sebaceous follicles become thoroughly plugged, and the Propionibacterium acnes causes inflammation to build that acne lesions develop. Removing the outermost layer of your skin does not remove the plug, does not kill the bacterium, and potentially damages healthy skin cells. What you need is a topical formula that treats your acne, without causing you all of the skin irritation that the anti acne formulas do.
Instead of subjecting yourself to an acne care laser skin treatment, you need to invest in a line of skin care products that feature ingredients like active Manuka honey, Jojoba oil, Shea butter, Witch Hazel, and Capuacu butter. These ingredients will destroy the offending bacterium, and significantly reduce inflammation, redness, and irritation in the skin. These compounds will rid you of your acne as fast as any prescription product will.
Bottom line, there are safer and more effective ways to achieve clear skin than acne care laser skin treatment.

Oily skin is caused by overactive sebaceous glands. These glands produce an oily matter called sebum. When glands are overly productive, the excess sebum present in the gland sacs promotes bacteria called Proprionobacterium acnes to flourish. Sebum also clogs pores resulting in bacteria proliferation. This is how acne occurs. Oily skin is not only shiny, dull-colored, and coarse, it is also acne-prone, which means that a host of more serious problems can develop: blackheads, whiteheads, enlarged pores, redness, and potential scarring.
Oily skins mean having more oil production and less moisture. It is important to comprehend this, as most people thing wrongly that by having oily skin there is no room for moisturizers. Usually people will use soap-based cleansers to clean their skin leaving their skin dry and dehydrated. To really replenish the lost moisture, moisturizers are to be used frequently. By doing so, you will give your skin a more healthy and radiant complexion. Remember oily skin doesn’t necessarily mean you have you an excess of moisture, it just means it is oily and you need to find a middle ground.
Ironically, oily skin can also be sensitive and washing with harsh cleansers often causes irritation and inflammations. Begin by washing with lukewarm water, a mild cleanser, and then rinse off with cool water. If you can do away with makeup, non oil-based cosmetics lessen the incidence of breakouts and other blemishes. A golden rule especially in oily skin care: never sleep with you makeup on and save the cold creams for your dry-skinned friend. Another solution to a problem is the frequent washing of the face. This is done to prevent the build-up of oil on the skin which in turn will prevent the occurrence of acne. Basic hygiene is the single best solution to acne problems in oily skin.
The excess oil released by overactive oil glands onto the skin must be removed regularly or the pores will get clogged and acne will develop. Therefore, people with oily skin are advised to cleanse their face twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Some might think the more often they cleanse, the less likely their pores will get clogged and as a result, less acne and a better skin.
Oil is important for moisturizing the skin, and you can take comfort from knowing that oily skin delays wrinkling, age spots, and fine lines, and sebaceous glands become less active as we age. In the meantime, the problem remains that oil clogs the pores of the skin, and the effects are, naturally, the production of blackheads and pimples, as well as enlarged pores and redness. Oily skin care treatments involve taking steps to keep pores from getting clogged and blemishes from appearing.
The skin is composed of two main layers, the epidermis or outer skin, and the dermis or inner skin. The epidermis is the part which is most prone to damage, and consists of mostly dead skin cells. The dermis, on the other hand, is alive, with blood vessels and protein deposits, as well as sweat glands and touch receptors.
As a person ages, the ability of the skin to function normally is also affected. When damage on the surface is detected by the skin, it regenerates by inducing cell division for healthier cells, but this process slows down with age. Smooth and tight skin in your youth tends to become rough and become saggy as you aged, leading to creases and wrinkles. The decrease in the elasticity of the skin is attributed to the loss of collagen, or the protein that helps keep skin firm and resilient.
Many are considering laser skin treatments; laser skin firming and laser skin tightening. Thus fractional CO2 is creating such a stir in the area of dermatology. This procedure uses special lasers that clear off dead skin cells from the surface and create micron sized wounds spaced in regular intervals around the target area of the face.
The small wounds facilitate the resurfacing of the skin, such that collagen can be produced and other healthy skin cells can proliferate. This results in rejuvenated and healthier looking skin free of wrinkles. Given time to heal, the skin regenerates and looks younger than ever before. The results are long-lasting, but should be followed up with good skin hygiene and avoidance of excessive sun exposure.
How much does this anti aging skin care treatment cost? On the average, fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing can cost about ,000. The whole procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. People who undergo this procedure can go back to work or resume normal activities as there is no downtime. Side effects of fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing are minimal, this includes partial redness or irritation in the area that was treated.
Laser treatment is a very popular procedure that many use for removing skin defects as acne scars. The laser simply burns the skin very precisely to a specific depth. Afterwards, the skin heals itself being thus forced to regenerate. So far so good, laser skin treatment for acne scars really works. The hard part is that the post intervention period is critical to the success of the procedure. The problem is that this period can last up to one year.
One of the most popular laser types are the CO2(carbon dioxide) or the YAG (erbium). It has been successfully used for years in the laser skin treatment for acne scars. In order to chosse the right treatment method for your problem a specialist must be consulted, and he / she will decide if you are able to undergo the intervention, given the fact that it takes a very healthy body system to help you recover from a skin treatment with no marks left.
So after checking the medical file a doctor can usually decide if the patient can resist successfully during the intervention or not. Laser skin treatment for acne scars needs to be adapted to the type of scars you’ve got. In 2001 a classification for acne scars was made because it could be very useful in determining the right treatment. So the scars are classified in three branches: ice-pick, rolling and boxcar, depending of the scar aspect.
There are many people who have facial scars from acne or different injuries, and for them, laser therapy is the best option. Laser and IPL (intense pulse light) skin treatments for acne scars provide an efficient remedy against almost any type of scars. Both laser and IPL use an intense ray of light burning the affected area. The treated area will recover naturally, so the procedure practically forces the body to heal an injury.
The good part is that the recovered skin will look much more natural than the scar before; in many situations the success was 100%. The old scar was simply gone. This proves the efficiency of laser skin treatments for acne scars. Following the intervention the skin will be reddish and this persistent color will probably last for more than several weeks.
During the recovery interval, after a laser skin treatment for acne scars you must be cautious not to get exposed to sun light or other irritating factors. After the first several weeks when the injury is loosing its redness you will still need to be careful for some 10 to 12 months. The doctor may also suggest further therapy into the second year too.
Laser skin treatment is a cosmetic procedure conducted in a specially trained doctor’s office that removes the damaged outer layers of the skin to reveal fresh, rejuvenated and glowing skin. This specific type of treatment is able to treat a variety of skin problems such as, • Acne scars • Wrinkles • Sun-damaged skin • Birthmarks • Scar
The Procedure
At Lakewood Dentistry Cosmetics, the professionals use the Laser Genesis, a non-invasive laser procedure, which offers the patient ease, accuracy, and a safe skin treatment. During the procedure the doctor will utilizes lasers, which contain carbon dioxide, to smoothly and effectively remove and vaporize the outer most layers of the skin allowing new and a more youthful looking layer of skin and collagen to form in its place.
The laser beam is so precise and safe that laser skin treatment can be used anywhere on the body. However, most people commonly use this special skin care treatment on their face to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.
For scars on the body that penetrate deep into skin, laser treatment can help with them too! The laser is able to reach deep into the dermis to remove several layers of skin, which ultimately is capable of removing an unwanted scar no matter the size or age.
Depending on each patient’s specific request, treatments will vary. It generally takes 4-6 treatments to complete the entire process depending on patient’s desired outcome.
The Healing Process
Because each skin care treatment is highly unique to each patient, and no two people heal alike, it can be difficult to pinpoint the healing time for each treatment. Also, depending on the area size, the specific skin treatment and the level of penetration into the skin, the healing time will vary. During your appointment, the specialist can offer a better healing time frame for you.

In zootomy and dermatology, skin is an organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of epithelial tissues that guard underlying muscles and organs. As the interface with the surroundings, it plays the most important role in protecting against pathogens. Its other main functions are insulation and temperature regulation, sensation and vitamin D and B synthesis. Skin is considered one of the most important parts of the body.

Not all acne is the same. Simplistically, acne can be divided into red bumps and blackheads/whiteheads. This division is important because each type is treated differently. Blackheads and whiteheads, known as comedones, can be more numerous on the face and shoulders than red bumps filled with pus.
• Comedones: A plug of sebaceous and dead skin material stuck in the opening of a hair follicle. The follicle may be open (blackhead) or almost closed (whitehead).
• Blackheads: Blackheads, also known as open comedones, are follicles that have a wider than normal opening. They are filled with plugs of sebum and sloughed off cells and have undergone a chemical reaction resulting in the oxidation of melanin. This gives the material in the follicle the typical black color.
• Whiteheads: Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, are follicles that are filled with the same material, but have only a microscopic opening to the skin surface. Since the air cannot reach the follicle, the material is not oxidized, and remains white.

If you have oily skin you will know that it can be an absolute nightmare! Trying to make oily skin looking fresh throughout the day can often be a real chore, and there are many problems which the condition can cause. So just what harm can Oily skin cause you and how can you prevent it?
The Problems Which Oily Skin Can Bring
Oily skin is most linked to Acne, and it is no surprise that people with oily skin do have a lot more blemishes. The excess oil is caused by the male hormone Androgen which is found in both males and females. Androgen speeds up the development of Sebum which causes excess oil.
Although Acne is the main condition that oily skin causes, oily skin can also cause the pores to become enlarged and rough. Often oily skin appears shiny, dull looking and it is thicker than usual. The excess oil means that the skin is prone to blackheads and often embarrassing blemishes can appear too.
If you do have oily skin, you will notice that your skin becomes dirtier a lot quicker. This is because the oil attracts dirt and dust from the surrounding environment and that can often clog up the pores.
Overall a person with oily skin will never have a clear complexion due to the fact that the oil does attract dirt and dust. No matter how old you are, oily skin will still cause you to have breakouts and occasionally Acne. So what can you do to stop oily skin in its tracks?
Prevention Tips for Oily Skin
There are quite a few tips in order to keep your oily skin under control. With a little tender care you can help your skin to become oil free and to help it to look happy and healthy again!
Cleanse As Though Your Life Depended on it
Ok, so you may not have to take cleansing that seriously, but it is important that you cleanse every single day. Be sure to use plenty of hot water as that tends to have a drying effect, and also use soap too.
Milder products are always better to sue, as harsher ones can often strip the skin of essential oil, and encourage dry, flaky skin which would completely reverse your situation. Although you are looking to get rid of the excess oil, you still need to keep some of the oil there to keep the skin moisturized.
If you do use a fairly harsh cleanser, it is always a good idea to follow up with a really light moisturizer, but generally it is better to opt for a mild cleanser.
Do Not Touch Unaffected Areas!
If you have oily skin in some places, but not in others, it is important to wash your hands straight after you have touched any oily parts of the skin. This is because, if you have oil on your hands and you touch your face for example, you are spreading the oil and the dirt to the face and now you are likely to develop a pimple there.
It is extremely important to wash your hands after touching your oily skin; otherwise you will end up with a worse problem than you had before!
Overall, oily skin is frustrating but there are treatments out there. Just by following simple hygiene rules and cleansing regularly, you should find that the problem starts to disappear. As well as cleansers, some natural remedies may also help and you can find hundreds of recipes online if you take the time to search for them. Oily skin can cause a lot of complexion problems but you can defeat them if you try!

No one likes to be judged by their skin but when you suffer from oily skin it can be particularly worrisome because of all the problems that can come with it. Waking up with fresh new blemishes, an unnatural shine to your skin and a greasy feeling are all unfortunate outcomes. Although some people have oily skin naturally, there are steps you can take to minimize the effects and reverse some of the problematic issues (such as blackheads and pimples).
Before looking into how to solve the problem, let’s take a moment to examine the root causes. By understanding what produces oily skin, you can better develop an effective treatment plan. In its simplest definition, oily skin is caused by overactive oil glands in the skin producing too much of your skin’s natural moisturizer, sebum. While it is important to have these natural oils to prevent dryness and cracking, it is important to control the amount of oil present at any given time. It is the build up of natural oils that leads to some of the main complaints people have about their skin.
Now that we have a basis for why this problem is occurring, what is the solution? Just as oil and water don’t mix in a bowl, water will not solve the oily residue problem on your face either. Patience is essential when trying to resolve any skin care issue and when it comes to oily skin, understanding that you may need to develop a permanent skin care regimen to prevent build up is important too. Oily skin issues may never be “fixed” but they can be maintained.
Cleansing your face with products specifically geared to your skin type will be the first and most important step you can take. Not all skin care products are designed to treat oily skin and some cleansers contain fatty acids that may actually make the condition worse so search carefully. Products containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids are designed to gently exfoliate the skin and will help to remove dead skin cells and build up on the face.
The less product containing oils and creams you apply to your face, the better off you will be. Most make ups and lotions contain oils and other ingredients that already clog the pores for someone without oily skin, by adding more oils on a regular basis; you are essentially adding fuel to a fire. If you can avoid it, try to limit your use of cosmetics and oil based products or search for specially formulated brands designated as oil-free.
By removing the excess oil, dirt and grime from your face on a regular basis you are already going to see some of the benefits of your labor. Of course as we stated earlier, the skin does need some oil to remain healthy and hydrated so after any cleansing or exfoliating it is important to follow that with an oil free moisturizer. The last thing you want to do is stimulate your glands to produce more oil to compensate for a lack of hydration in the skin cells.
With any skin care routine it is important to test products carefully and pay attention to your skins reaction. Any redness, itchy or irritation means you should discontinue use immediately and consult with your doctor about a possible allergy. If you have a particularly severe case of oily skin and over the counter remedies have not worked in the past, check with an esthetician or dermatologist regarding professional grade products.
Oily skin doesn’t have to make you self conscious any longer as long as you are patient and willing to take steps to control it before it controls you.
