As far as marionette lines, Radiance has been the choice filler in our
office. However, it is a harder filler so there may be lumping. The good
news about it is that it lasts much longer than the softer fillers such
as Restalyne and Collagen. Melasma is extremely hard to treat. I get
minimal results with IPL (photofacial) but we just got a new laser
called the Fraxel that may take care of it. It is advised to use a
prescription strength (4%) Hydroquinone while getting and of these
treatments for Melasma. Start using it a couple of weeks before the
procedure and continue use. As for lines around the eyes (frown lines or
crows feet) if Botox has helped you in the past, then stick with it.
Botox has been one of the best things that has happened to this
industry.
I like cle de peau, you can apply it
very sheer and when you want more coverage you can get that too. It
is a little matte, but it's a treatment concealer so it sets but
also keeps the eye area moisturized. I work for Laura Mercier and
her concealers are nice in comparison to what's out there, but my
cles de peau is amazing to me....everyone has different preferences
though.
Re: Puffy Eyes
Hi , I use the Origins No
Puffery cooling gel when I have puffy eyes. I love this product
especially when I have one of those days where I cried and my
eyes swell up. It does wonders especially when it's been in the
fridge..... You can use it as a mask (take it off after 5-10
mins) or leave it on as a cream.
Truth is, beautiful women will always be beautiful no
matter how old they are. There are lots of ways to age gracefully
whether through natural means–maintaining a positive outlook,
getting enough sleep, and eating a healthy diet–or, with the help of
a doctor through cosmetic surgery–a nip here and a tuck there.
Apple-flower face tonic
(refreshes and heals)
You’ll need:
- 1 peeled apple
- 1 tea-spoon of honey
- 2 drops of lemon essential oil
- fresh rose petals
Crush an apple to receive an apple sauce, add honey and petals,
then boil with water. Leave for 20 minutes. Add essential oil and
apply on a cleaned face with a cotton tampon. Wash off in 10-15
minutes.
You can use this receipt for your steam bath. Pour this mixture with
boiled water, cover your head with a towel and breathe scented steam
during 10-15 minutes. You can replace rose petals by some collection
of dry medicinal herbs or a usual tea.
Surely,
spring is a wonderful season. Everything awakes from winter
sleepiness, long-awaited sun finally appears and we want singing,
dancing, falling in love and flying.
Look at yourself in the mirror more often (and without fear!). Think, what
your body does for you every day, and thank it for this. Who
else loves you so much?
If being absolutely frank, there’s one more step. Probably, the
most important. Believe in yourself.
