Cosmetic surgery VS Botox

Friday, December 7th, 2007

There are lots of ways to get your skin looking better, and to get you feeling better, without going in for major surgery. Botox, chemical peels and dermal fillers are quick and easy ways to get the look you want.

Article Plastic surgery is a big turn-off to lots of people. The idea of going under the knife in order to look (and ultimately feel) better just doesn’t sit right for many of us. We think of risks and costs, instead of benefits. Luckily, there are lots of non-surgical options available for those who want to improve their looks, but don’t want to go for the serious surgery. There are a couple of cosmetic surgery options that can get you looking and feeling better quickly, easily and safely.

The idea behind Botox is to get rid of the frown lines that form on your face over time. These are caused by the constant retracting of your facial muscles, and can appear as early as age 18. These wrinkles can make a 30-year-old look more like a 50-year-old, and getting rid of them can be a great relief.

To get the Botox treatment, you do have to go to a doctor, but there is no surgery involved. After a consultation, your doctor will decide exactly where the injections should be made and how much should be used. Your doctor will inject Botox right into the muscles that contract and cause…read on HERE

Get a face lift without having a face lift! Here are 10 Skin Care Tips.

Healthy skin is really one of the most important ingredients for beauty-enhancement. This article on skin care tips is an effort to bring the 10 best skin care tips to you. The list of skin care tips has been restricted to 10 because anything more that that would not only be difficult to remember, but also shadow the more important skin care tips.

* Knowing your skin type is one of the most important skin care tip. This is important because not every skin care product suits everyone. In fact, all the skin care products specify the type of skin they cater too.

* ‘Drink a lot of water’. This will not keep your skin moist but will help in overall upkeep of your health (and in turn your skin). It might seem a bit awkward to some, however, this is an important skin care tip.

* Cleanse your skin regularly (1-2 times everyday).  A very effective skin care tip that helps in getting rid of the dirt and other harsh elements from your skin. Cleansing is especially important when you have been out of your house (and hence exposed to pollutants, dust etc). This skin care tip also advocates the use of Luke warm water for cleansing (hot and cold water, both, cause damage to your skin)

* Be gentle, after all it’s your skin. Don’t scrub/exfoliate too hard or too often. Similarly, don’t apply too much or too many skin care products. A must-to-follow skin care tip.

* Keep your skin moist at all times. This is one of the most important skin care tip.  Don’t let your skin get dry. Dryness causes the outer layer of your skin to break, leading to a rough and unattractive appearance. Use moisturizers/ emollients. Moisturizers work best when applied while the skin is still damp.

* Avoid the use of soap on your face. Soap should only be used from below the neck. A small but important skin care tip.

* Use sunscreen to protect yourself from sun’s harmful UV radiations. You can use day-time moisturizers that have sunscreen built into them. Use them even when it’s cloudy. UV radiations are known to cause skin cancer, so follow this skin care tip without fail.

* A bit of exercise and good sleep are essential too, not just for skin care but for your health as a whole. Lack of sleep can lead to formation of wrinkles below your eyes and lack of exercise can cause your skin to slack. Moreover, exercise and sleep also help in beating stress.  So besides being a skin care tip, this is also a health care tip.

* Treat skin dilemmas with care.  This skin care tip is about not ignoring any skin dilemmas. Consult your dermatologist before you go on to use a skin care product (lest you do end up harming your skin even more).

* Beat the stress. The harmful effects of stress are known to everyone, however, sometimes stating the obvious is essential too (and hence this skin care tip found its place here). Yes, stress harms skin too. So, take a break or indulge in a warm bubble bath or just get good sleep.
