Today, with not so much effort, you can look young, healthy, your skin can glow, and you won’t have any problems with your skin. From different kinds of creams, chemical peels, botox, fillers, etc. you can look amazing.

Zits

“Oh my God, I have a date tomorrow and I have a huge zit on my nose! What should I do?” Zits are one of the most common skin problems that people have. You should not touch it or try to squeeze it, because you can prolong their healing time and it may get more infected. Also, it can leave scars, so you should avoid it. You should use face masks that fit your type of skin once a week, you can use some kind of cream for pimples, or you can take a cortisone shot and the zit could disappear within 24 hours.

Anti-aging

Aging of your skin and getting grey hair could be one of the scariest feelings which you have and final realization that you are not getting any younger. Although it is not a fast treatment you can make aging a bit slower. You have laser skin resurfacing which is good for treating sun-damaged skin and it can reduce the fine lines and acne scars, and most of all you can get more youthful look back and it doesn’t take much for the recovery, or you can have a fraxel laser treatment, which can help you with acnes and wrinkles. You can also get an IV treatment filled with vitamin C and B, vitamin mixture altogether and you will be glowing.

Chemical peels, botox and fillers

Although you would need more time for recovery in the end of the process your skin will be regenerated, smoother and less wrinkled. Chemical peels remove the top layer of your skin, so the acids remove everything that is not welcome. On the other hand, you can have a botox. When injecting the botox into your system, you are blocking the nerves to the muscles, thus flattening fine lines and wrinkles.  Fillers are usually used for improving fine lines around your eyes and mouth. However, you should always pay attention on how much you are taking.

Electric facials and laser hair removal

Electric facials are used to boost up radiance, to kill acne bacteria, to wipe out dark circles etc.  It’s simple, you let the doctor run electricity through your face, and you can see the results almost right after the intervention. If you are bored with shaving, tweezing or waxing and you want to have more permanent results, you should try laser hair removal.

  

Creams and other routines

Dry skin

Everything depends on your skin type - which cream you would use, which routine, for how long etc. If you have dry skin, you’re having problems with itching, redness, cracking etc. and you should use more moisturizes that can help repair your skin and the best way is to use something natural with calming ingredients, without any alcohol which would only cause the irritation.

Every morning when you wake up, after washing up and brushing your teeth you can use some kind of cleanser which removes the oil, dirt or makeup, because it just isn’t  enough to wash your face with water. It is fast and it doesn’t take much of your time. Your skin will look and feel smoother and it will look healthier. And then after cleaning your face you can use some kind of anti-aging cream which fits your type of skin and your age.

All in all, you should take care of your skin no matter how much time you have, or if you are feeling bored and lazy there are routines and treatments that can help you. Everybody wants to look young and beautiful, so give it a try.
