  • Festive Season Detox- Say NO to Skin Troubles

    Pimples!

    We could have called them acne but considering that most of the pimples that pop up during this time around are not something chronic but a touch and go, let us stick to the more layman version of it- Pimple!

    So, just a few quick questions-

    Do you keep your makeup brush uncovered, letting it rest around any nook or corner of the makeup box?
    Does your makeup souffle feel sticky or wet?
    Did you take off your makeup before sleeping?
    Are you washing your hair after every dose of hair setting products?
    Have you been touching your skin too often?
    Too much of oily food or random diet schedules for you?

    If you find yourself answering a NO to most and a YES to the last two- you have solved most of your concerns- just avoid doing whatever you have been doing right now and you will see a lot of improvement.

    Now, this is what you need to do in addition to the aforementioned:

    Let your skin breathe- remove all the makeup before sleeping and gently dab some rose water into it.
    Use a Moisturiser to clean off- Do not use a makeup wipe straight, put peanut sized moisturiser on it and then clean your skin of the makeup. This will prevent any harsh rubs to your pores
    Exfoliate- more than usual, preferably every third day of putting the makeup
    Need not lather up moisturising creams, if at all, use moisturising gels which get absorbed fast and do not provide a sticky breeding ground for environmental bacteria which exist even at your home!
    And if all this is still not helping, then maybe you should see a dermatologist because there are high chances that your “chronic” acne has just started showing up- better nip it in the bud!

    Dry Skin
    Not able to drink a lot of water or drinking a lot of caffeine or sugary drinks- needless to say you are going high on ingredients which lead to excessive water loss- result being a dry dull skin.

    Makeup bases full of moisturisers may help your skin look just fine but remember that the damage is still happening and will continue to be so in case you do not take proper action.

    We suggest that you should go for a hydrating Medifacial or a Jet peel. We cannot expect you to keep drinking water all the time because that would be sort of impossible so, take up the alternative way and get your skin hydrated externally!

    It is sort of like watering the plants- you provide them enough hydration from the outside which they eventually absorb!

    Dark Circles
    Partying till wee hours, lifestyle imbalances, random diets, inadequate sleep, too much exertion- dark circles consider all these an invitation significant enough to ignore.

    So what do you do? Not party?? Put calming balms after coming home late at night??

    Well NO! Nothing like that- all you need to do is, go for an arginine peel and have your under eye area soothend. If however, you feel that you have been losing volume under your eyes and this is what is resulting in the dark circles- try fillers

    Lip dehydration
    We know the touch-ups are required every few hours because lipsticks just do not stick- the result is parched dry lips and no matter how much lip-balms you apply, the cracks still show!

    What to do then?
    Heard of lip pigmentation which is a permanent results for all your lip color woes- you might want to find out more about it!

  • The 8 point Lift Technique

    However, fairly recently, the 8 point lift technique has started taking over as the preferred face lift procedure. The major reason for it being preferred is its non-surgical nature.
    The technique involves injecting fillers at 8 specific points on the face to give a more natural looking lift to the face.

    To give a more detailed understanding, the lifting points are explained below. For a brief update, you may refer to the shared image:
    https://cdn.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_850/https://www.kosmoderma.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/non-surgical-facelift-8-points.jpg
    Points 1 and 2 for the Cheekbone structure
    Ageing results in natural loss of the cheekbones or as can be put, the cheek bones soften due to calcium deficiency over time. Because of this, the skin at the said area sags and gives the face a droopy look. Some people also lose their fat over time which ends up giving a sunken look to the face.
    Liquid lifts at these points give volume to the face while also resulting in skin stretch which happens due to the added volume.

    Point 3 for the Tear trough area of the midface
    Mainly for the under eye concerns. This lift reduces the structural hollowness of the under eye area by giving volume there. This volume not just makes the area plump up but also reduces the dark circle appearance.

    Point 4 for the nose to mouth folds’ straightening
    This point is for giving volume to the area around mouth and below the nose esp in the cases where ageing has resulted in fat loss.

    Point 5 for straightening the Corner of mouth
    For correcting the lip curve which gets a downward turn over time.

    Point 6 for the pre-jowl area
    A jowl formation results due to loss of volume in the jaw, cheek and chin areas. Adding volume to point 6 in addition to other points helps prevent jowl formation.

    Point 7 for a more defined jawline
    A defined jawline looks good and adds youthfulness to the face. This point caters to that.

    Point 8 for adding volume to the lower cheek area
    This point lift adds volume to the lower cheek area and reduces the appearance of facial folds and sagging chin. This point is specially important for regaining the natural shape of the face.

    The procedure duration is usually 45 minutes or less inclusive of all the operational and treatment activities. The treatments on its own is a 20 minute procedure.
    The results last for 12-18 months and if required, a person might take touch ups to maintain the look.

  • Skin Care Tips for Oily Skin

    But, with science and esp cosmetology having advanced so much, there has to be something that can help in containing this excessive sebum generation that oils up a skin! Well, this blog is about that only.

    So, let us have a look at the very basic changes that can be done to ensure that the oil production remains in check

    Wash Your Face
    The very basic, the only difference of importance being that you need to thoroughly wash and clean up your face after you are back home too. Considering the skin type, an oily skinned person cannot afford to not clean up their face because a lot of environmental dust, dirt and germs are already sticking to the face and if left there, they have all the ability to wreak havoc on the skin in forms of acne and skin infections

    Cleanse-Tone-Moisturise
    A must for all skin types. A Salicylic Acid based cleanser is ideal for an oily skin type. Post this, let your skin rest for a while and apply a toner. A mild toner should be enough to serve the purpose, however, if it irritates your skin, the suggestion would be to consult a doctor so that they may suggest a suitable toner type for your skin.
    Toning in place, next comes moisturising. Even though your skin is oily, moisturising is still a necessity. There are a lot of light, oil free moisturisers one can choose from for this purpose.
    Also, gently dab the moisturiser into the skin. The rotational application will not be of much consequence to those with oily skin type

    Diet Check
    This can involve major dietary changes for someone but to ensure a better skin health, these changes would be required without any exception:

    Replace the usual dairy products with almond milk and vegan cheese. One can go for double toned milk as well if almond milk as a substitute does not go well
    Replace the usual cooking oils with olive or rice bran oil which are healthy and low in trans and saturated fat. The food can alternatively be grilled, broiled, baked or poached to make it healthier and minus any trans or saturated fats
    Replace the usual meat with lean poultry such as chicken or turkey and avoid oily fish such as salmon and mackerel.
    Replace sugary food with natural sugar alternatives such as berries, bananas, lemon or lime water. Dark Chocolates can also be included in the diet plan
    WorkOut
    So that the sweat keeps flowing and the pores do not get clogged. Also, it will give your skin ample opportunity to breathe which the otherwise high on oil surface might not provide.

    So, that was it.
    Hope it will help you people.

    One more problem that comes along with oily skin is large open pores which though medically inconsequential, have serious aesthetic implications.

  • The Guide to Freckle Removal

    The difference between freckles and other forms of sun damage such as sun tan and pigmentation is that freckles do not result because of the increase in the production of melanocytes. Freckles are caused due to the existing skin cells getting stimulated to produce more melanin.
    Hence, instead of appearing over broader areas, freckles appear as spots.
    Freckles mostly affect people with lighter skin tone because for the people with darker skin tones, melanin deposition is a natural skin defence which ends up resulting in pigmentation or dark spots.

    But how to deal with freckles- will only treatments work or some home care would be needed too?
    Well, this is what this blog about:

    Let us talk about the DIYs first

    Sour Cream Application
    Gently apply sour cream over the affected skin and leave for 20 minutes. Wipe off with a soft tissue and pat dry. Apply a Moisturising lotion
    This has to be done every night before you go to sleep.

    The Frequency: has to be daily for the first 30 days followed by twice a week for the remaining time till freckles start to fade.

    Principle: The lactic acid in the sour cream helps in clearing out the skin by reducing melanin deposition

    Buttermilk and Potato
    Grate a potato (after peeling it) and soak the shreds in buttermilk for about 15 minutes. Now, gently rub this on your face. You can also, cut thin potato slices, soak them in buttermilk and then keep on your face as well.

    Continue with this rubbing/keeping for about 15 minutes after which you can wash off your face with cold water.
    The Frequency: Repeat this procedure 3-4 times a week for best results
    Principle: The Glutathione in the potato combines with the lactic acid in the buttermilk to provide better results for removal of any form of pigmentation.

    Horseradish and Apple Cider Vinegar
    Grate half cup of horseradish and pour about 1 cup of raw apple cider vinegar on it and seal in an airtight container. Let the solution sit for about 10-14 days.
    Gradually shake the container about once or twice daily to ensure that the solid component does not settle at the bottom. After the stipulated period is over, strain the vinegar and store it separately. The horseradish can be thrown away
    The horseradish infused vinegar is ready to be applied to the skin. Gently dab with a cotton ball for application twice a day- once before the bath and second before sleeping.
    You can let the vinegar rest on your skin as well.

    Frequency: Apply daily for about a month for best results.

    Principle: Horseradish is a rich source of ascorbic acid, Vitamin C and has bleaching properties- these characteristics not just help in preventing deposition but also facilitate peeling off of the dead skin and lightening pigmentation spots

    The Medical Treatments

    DIYs are usually slow to respond to also they work best when used for maintenance. For better and faster results, one should go for medical treatments only. Some of the best are listed below:

    Microdermabrasion
    It involves creating abrasions on the skin surface to enable faster skin recuperation. These wounds not just result in faster healing of the damaged sites but also the area around it thus improving upon the overall skin condition in general. More on the same can be read here.

    Chemical Peels
    Varying from mild/superficial to strong peels depending upon the severity of skin damage, chemical peels are the very basic solution for almost all skin concerns.
    For pigmentation, freckles and other skin damage types usually medium and strong peels are used. Mild peels are mostly used for either skin maintenance or for sensitive skin types.
    To know more about chemical peels, you may visit this page.

    Laser Treatment
    Lasers when targeted at the right place and at right intensity are instrumental in breaking down the pigments thus lightening/removing the freckles/pigmentation spots.
    Usually safe if done using US-FDA approved treatments, they have been known to prove some of the best results for pigmentation concerns. For more, you may visit this link

  • Sun damage levels- In what forms does sun damage show

    When we talk of sun damage, we usually think about sun-tan and darkening of the skin tone. A step further and we think of freckles, pigmentation and dark spots and that is usually the end for us.
    But, contrary to the usual belief, sun damage can be as severe as causing permanent damage to the skin and in some cases triggering cancer too.

     

    Here are some of the commonest severe damages that Sun exposure can cause

    Solar lentigines

    These are flat spots caused due to increased pigmentation at localised spots. Usually brown, black or gray in colour, they vary in size depending upon the damage done with the size and damage being in proportion. Lentigines appear on the areas which face maximum sun exposure and are usually found on the hands and upper back. Lentigines develop over a period of continuous exposure and are more common in adults as compared to teenagers.

    Solar elastosis

    This is a permanent condition caused by breaking down of the collagen and elastin fibres in the skin’s connective tissues. This breakdown is a consequence of excessive exposure to the UV rays. The result is the loss of skin strength and flexibility which appears as creases, wrinkles and skin sags

    Lentigo maligna

    It is a type of growth which develops on the face, hands or legs i.e. the area prone to maximum sun exposure. It is usually a dark flat spot which grows in perimeter over time. This condition is most prone to developing into a melanoma over time.

     

    Hence, if you experience any mole/dark spot which you feel is growing in size over time, it is important that you visit a doctor and have it checked.

    Labial lentigo

    This form of damage affects the lips only. Labial Lentigo appears as a dark brown lesion on the lips- in most cases it is the lower lip that gets affected.

    Poikiloderma

    Poikiloderma is the condition whereby reddish brown pigments appear across the skin. This condition affects mostly the neck and chest.

     

    Melasma

    Melasma is a dark brown layer that forms on the skin. It is caused not just because of the sun rays but because of a combination of sun damage and hormonal imbalance. It most commonly affects the pregnant ladies due to surge in estrogen levels but has also been found to affect several women post their menopause.

    Actinic keratoses

    This appears as rough, scaly patches on the skin. Their colour can be white, light brown, dark brown, gray or pink depending upon the skin colour of the person concerned. These patches are most commonly affect the face, ears, lower arms and lower legs- basically the areas which are more prone to accidental and constant sun exposure.

     

    This was all that we had on Sun damage types. Should you wish to know more about the treatments, we are always a call or message away

  • Stretch Marks-The Cause and Prevention

    Almost all of us have stretch marks, it would be actually difficult to find someone who doesn’t have stretch marks but is weight or rather fat deposit fluctuation the only reason for getting stretch marks?
    Also, is it possible to get rid of stretch marks totally?
    Does butter bath work for stretch marks prevention during pregnancy?
    Can a good diet and skin maintenance help in stretch marks prevention?
    How effective is Laser treatment for stretch marks removal?
    Can one get rid of stretch marks forever?

    All these and many more, this blog aims at answering most of the doubts that people have about stretch marks. Read on:

    What Causes Stretch Marks

    Stretch marks are caused when the skin stretches beyond its breaking point i.e. the point beyond which no amount of collagen repair can heal the skin. This results in a thin pink, or red or white lines on the skin.
    These lines are called stretch marks.
    If such a stretching continues, the dermal tissues too start to wear off, getting inflamed in the process which might result in slight internal bleeding as well.

    The illustration below will help you to understand the difference between a normal and stretched skin better.

    Stretch marks are not always caused due to fat fluctuations. Sometimes stretch marks may also be due to genetic concerns, usual pregnancy effects, a side effect of taking medicines or lotions such as Corticosteroid creams, lotions, and pills which reduce the skin’s elasticity, adrenal glands’ functional disorders or due to diseases such as Cushing’s, Marfan’s or Ehlers-Danlos

    Can the Appearance of Stretch Marks be improved?
    The sure shot technique for stretch marks removal will be discussed in the later section but there are some other treatments also which have been known to work. These are:

    • Application of creams which contain collagen booster formulations such as tretinoin, isotretinoin etc
    • Microdermabrasion,the treatment which works by creating wounds on the skin to facilitate faster collagen generation and hence skin rejuvenation
    • Fractional photothermolysis which works on the same principle as laser skin rejuvenation also heals the skin well by focus targeting i.e. targeting smaller areas and causing even lesser skin damage.

    How does a typical Laser Stretch Mark Removal treatment look like?
    At Kosmoderma, we do Fractional Laser Scar Treatment. A breakup of the same for better understanding can be described as below:

    Every stretch mark is first targeted individually. Once that is done, a colour blending laser treatment is administered. If some of the stretch marks still remain because of them being differently coloured, a separate laser technology may have to be used. However, given the Indian skin type, this is a pretty rare occurrence.

    Once the blending is complete, collagen stimulation is done to ensure a speedy and effective recovery. Post this skin smoothening using peels can be done as and when required.

    Finally, no side effects have been reported for any of the treatments so you can be assured of the safety esp when the equipments being used are US-FDA approved.

    Hope this helped to answer your queries.

  • Monsoons: Let your Skin Enjoy too!

    The result- sometimes you get drenched and other times, you feel as if you carried the umbrella’s weight uselessly.

    Now, this was you- a being with fully grown smart brain capable of taking actions as and when required.
    Ever wonder about your skin?
    The poor skin- your first line of defence though isn’t used to such changing climatic conditions and even if it suffers, the max it can do is give you subtle signals for help.

    But, when you have Kosmoderma by your side, does your skin really need to worry? Well no and this is why we are sharing with you the easiest skin care regime for the monsoons!

    Wash your face Twice- at least
    Yes, because we know that most of the times you are in office in the air conditioned environment so washing once in the morning and cleansing up well once you reach home will suffice.
    In case you travel in between, keep the wet wipes handy! And of course if you use a wipe in between, sunscreen application will have to be done without fail!

    Sleep sans any cream on your face
    Yes, because your skin needs to breathe and feel at home too. Give it some time to relax and avoid any beauty product application before sleeping

    Replace your regular moisturiser with essential oils
    And do not apply them after having a bath. Apply them immediately after waking up and then get a good bath with lukewarm water. You can alternate with hot and cold water while bathing but that might be too much of an effort hence-lukewarm.
    The reason- you wouldn’t want your pores to be breathing enough to inhale infections that abound during monsoons!

    Keep the usage of antiperspirants and deodorants to minimum
    Yes, because the pores do not want to get clogged, neither should your sweat accumulate. Just clean up the usual way- soap/body lotion and water

    Eat healthy and go low on fat
    Will help your internal systems because the metabolism goes a bit slow in monsoons. So why load up?
    (PS: It is okay to have pakoras and tea once in a while to enjoy the rains to the fullest but just make sure that the rest of the days, you stick to your health more)

    Get back to the Basics
    No fancy makeups or creams, apply sandalwood paste. The purest form and you will see the magic on your own.

    Feel good about yourself
    Listen to some good music, dance, read some good books, watch some good tv series and do anything and everything that keeps you happy because a happy you is definitely a healthy and glowing you!

    Hope that helps!

    Now, with so many options to choose from, how to select the best one and more importantly how to ensure that your doctor sees you as an informed client; well that is why we have prepared a checklist for you to ensure that you know what you are signing up for:

    Pre Consult Preparations

    • Evaluate- whether you want to go for a surgical procedure or non-surgical one?
    • Analyse your lifestyle and calculate- how many days of a downtime are you okay with?
    • Carefully analyse your face and prioritise the features in order of your preference
    • Set your expectations right- research on the before and after images of the patients. Do not trust the advertisements, go for actual images. It is advisable to view videos to get a more clear picture

    All this being said, we hope that you will be able to make an informed decision regarding the procedure to be undertaken.

    Have a Happy, Tightened Glowing Skin!

  • Do Skin Lightening Creams actually work?

    Understanding The Principle behind Skin Lightening

    There are two major reasons which cause skin darkening:

    • Melanin deposition due to either genetics or sun damage
    • Frictional abrasions resulting from day to day activities such as harsh rubbing across the face by face towels, handkerchief or even bare hands to wipe the sweat off

    Taking the first reason, melanin deposition happens at the layers below the epidermis. (Epidermis, is the top most skin layer or the layer which we see). This deposition gives a dark color to the top most layer.

    Frictional deposition on the other hand darkens the skin cells by damaging them. As long as the collagen boosts are enough to fight this damage, the skin color doesn’t darken but once that starts getting affected too, the result is a dull damaged skin which first appears red but over time turn dark brown or black on account of damage and frictional heat.

    Where does the Solution Lie?

    Needless to say the solution lies in repairing the skin and removing the melanin deposition and since both of these happen below the skin at the dermal levels, the solution has to come from there too.

    An important point to note is that if the body has a tendency to deposit melanin, it will continue doing so and hence not just melanin removal but also preventing the melanin deposition will play a great role in the provision of an effective long lasting solution.

    The biggest breakthrough in providing the near permanent solution for skin lightening is the usage of Glutathione or Kojic Acid based supplements.

    Glutathione injections coupled with Glutathione shots and Kojic acid based maintenance creams have been known to provide the best results for someone who wants to go for full body skin lightening.

    (For anyone concerned only about facial skin lightening, Lasers are the answer)

    How do skin creams work?

    Skin creams work mostly at the surface and in cases where Kojic or Hyaluronic acids are being used, there is limited seepage into the sub epidermal layers.

    The quantity that seeps into the lower layers isn’t enough to remove or restrict the melanin deposition and if any effect shows then it is over a considerable duration of time.

    The creams which show results, work actually as a bleaching agent by lightening the skin tan and are more of an immediate gratification than a long lasting solution.

    How can the creams be effective then, if at all they are?

    Like we had mentioned before, skin lightening creams are effective but only if used for maintenance purpose. They can prevent the damage and provide a level one barrier for a well maintained and already treated skin but that is that.

    To expect that they would actually solve the purpose would be nothing but a fallacy.

    We hope that we could clear out why skin lightening creams shouldn’t be the answer if you are considering skin lightening seriously.

    To know more about the other actually effective treatments, you can always browse through the website.

  • Your Guide to Morning Glow

    The Skin Care routine

    This is something that gets reiterated time and again. Follow your Cleanse-Tone-Moisturise routine religiously. And if you are too lazy to do that too, then do the following:

    • Wash your face with a mild face wash
    • Gently massage almond oil into your skin and let it remain for some 30 minutes
    • Gently dab your face off with cotton dipped in lukewarm water
    • Go to sleep

    Letting the skin breathe
    There is a reason why we asked you to dab the skin later. Contrary to the popular opinion where you are asked to lather up moisturisers before sleeping, it is important that you let your skin breathe.

    You have already provided the necessary cleaning and moisturisation and while you are awake, your skin has worked fast enough to absorb the essential nutrients. So, when you go to sleep, just like your brain, your skin expects some relaxation too and hence, going bare skin is the best way to help recuperate it.

    The Food to eat
    It is usually suggested that one should apply fruit masks but when any mask acts on the surface itself then is it any logical to put it on the face.
    Instead drink your nutrients. An intake of a glass (200ml) of citrus fruit juice and about 10 ml of beetroot juice daily will work the wonders for not just your skin but the entire body’s well being.

    The under Eye area
    We asked you to apply almond oil, well while applying massage it in your under eye areas too to soothe the muscles. Doing this will help your eyes relax.

    The Hair Care
    Comb your hair every night before going to bed. Tie them in a light knot to avoid them getting all tangled up. Prefer satin pillow covers since they are smooth and result in lesser hair breakage and tangling

    The fluid intake and excretion
    You should not drink a lot of water before sleeping because it might result in either excess water retention resulting in puffiness or you will have to make frequent trips to the washroom which would then mess up with your sleep routine.
    You may however, soak your feet in warm water for some 20 minutes and then go to sleep. This will not just soothen up the skin of your sole but also relax your muscles facilitating a good night sleep.

    We know that you must be surprised as to why we listed so many different aspects while talking of a morning glow.
    The thing however is that the glow is not just about your face, the glow comes when your body on the whole is relaxed and happy.

    Follow all this and we are waiting for your happy stories to listen to.
