Are you bored with how your skin appears? Well, there are techniques to give it a new life. Your skin’s natural baby look can be back with techniques like chemical peels. It is a technique that can improve the appearance of your skin. A chemical solution is put on the skin. It causes the skin to exfoliate and later beef off. The new skin looks smooth and it is free from wrinkles. The new skin is more sensitive to the sun on a temporary basis.

There are three types of chemical peel:

  1. Superficial peels- Superficial peel is designed to help smooth rough, dry skin, improve the texture of sun-damaged skin, and even out skin tone. The recovery is generally rapid and usually consists of minor flaking.
  2. Medium peel- Medium peels often contain higher levels stronger acids. Glycolic acid is put on the skin so as to penetrate the middle layers of skin. It removes damaged skin cells. This is good for pigmentation, scars, acne scars, wrinkles and uneven skin.
  3. Deep Peels-Deep peels produce the most dramatic results. This peel is recommended for treating wrinkles, scars, blemishes and, in some cases, precancerous skin lesions.

What must be done before considering a chemical peel?

It is always advisable to consult a dermatologist first before taking up the decision to try a chemical peel.

Chemical peel treatment is effective for:

  • Pigmentation
  • Acne
  • Acne Scars
  • Detaining
  • Fine Lines
  • Dull Skin
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Minor scarring

Unwanted body hair has been an issue for women and men for time immemorial. Cosmetic companies have cashed on the need by providing a whole array of solution from shaving to waxing to hair removal creams each producing results that are short-lived.

Laser hair removal in Delhi and all around the country has been gaining immense popularity in the recent years because of the promised results and their longevity. Laser hair treatment can be very effective in targeting the hair of a particular area such as the underarms, upper lips and can also be applied to broader areas like full hands or legs.

How Does It Work?

As magical as it sounds, the whole process is rather scientific. The laser produces warmth which is then absorbed by the pigments of the hair. When enough heat collects, it seeps down and the hair follicle gets decimated. The destroyed hair follicle prohibits any further growth of hair in years if ever.

Laser hair removal is a relatively safe process when done by competent specialists and provides promising results. The treatment is best suited for individuals who have dark hair but lighter skin which enables the laser to pick up the contrast in pigmentation. The treatment needs more than one session to give the desired effects. However, you should only visit the best laser hair removal clinic in Delhi to avoid the unwanted side effects of the process.

Common Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal:

Although the process is relatively safe and does not have to produce many adverse effects, there can be some minor issues. One of the best dermatologists in Delhi recommends that you should always consult with a skin specialist and have your skin tested for its sensitivity to avoid severe side effects.

Here Are Some Common Side Effects That Laser Hair Removal Can Produce:

  • A common side effect associated with the treatment is skin burns which occur when the skin absorbs the heat from the laser rather than the hair follicles. The problem is more prevalent in people with darker skin tone.

  • There can be some minor itching during and after the treatment is over.

  • There might be a slight change in the pigmentation of the skin with hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation a noted issue of the treatment.

  • There can be some redness or swelling following the treatment.

It is always wise to opt for a treatment only in the best laser hair removal clinic in Delhi post a thorough research on the topic and after consulting with best dermatologist in Delhi.

17 facts and myths about great skin

By increasing blood flow, exercise helps nourish skin cells and keep them vital. "Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to working cells throughout the body, including the skin," says dermatologist Ellen Marmur, MD, author of Simple Skin Beauty: Every Woman's Guide to a Lifetime of Healthy, Gorgeous Skin and associate professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. In addition to providing oxygen, blood flow also helps carry away waste products, including free radicals, from working cells. Contrary to some claims, exercise doesn't detoxify the skin. The job of neutralizing toxins belongs mostly to the  liver. "But by increasing blood flow, a bout of exercise helps flush cellular debris out of the system," Marmur tells WebMD. "You can think of it as cleansing your skin from the inside."

Exercise has also been shown to ease stress. "And by decreasing stress, some conditions that can be exacerbated by stress can show some improvement," says Brian B. Adams, MD, associate professor and director of the Sports Dermatology Clinic at the University of Cincinnati. Conditions that can improve when stress is reduced include acne and  eczema. Although researchers are still investigating the link between stress and skin, studies show that the sebaceous glands, which produce oil in the skin, are influenced by stress hormones.

I thought of starting this blog post after the following experience. Like how a suggestion from a friend helped me, I wish that this blog post including the comments would be of value to people. Most of the following isn't related to improving facial skin quality (do see the comments below for skin related updates):

I started going to gym in my apartment complex. During evening, I went to salon in my apartment complex. The owner is my friend. I asked about (glycerin + gulab jal + lemon) mix to apply on face for several pimples that have come on my face. He said I should try it. He also said to drink Safi. I said that I'm looking for a new gym since not working out regularly in recent weeks has probably also brought several pimples. He said that why don't I go to the one in my apartment complex. I said that I'll check it out which I did and they've serviced the equipment only a week ago. It's fine and moreover it saves my time a lot which I can use for dance class that I've wanted to join for a long while. Also, I've always wanted to go to gym twice in a day with cardio in morning and weight training in evening which I can try to do now much better.
 
After checking out the gym, I went to the salon and asked my friend to come along with me to workout on which the person said that the society doesn't allow them for which I felt very upset. I said I would try to speak with society management on which the person said that it has already been discussed. I wish this person can exercise regularly. I'm very thankful to this person for the suggestion. I also keep giving this person my suggestions on marketing and other things. I wish that we can be of value to each other for the long term.

I also spoke to a yoga teacher who had held a class for ladies in the community center. He's trying to setup a power yoga class for males and which I'm looking forward to if the batch can be made.
 
Best,
Shakti
