Peeling with glycolic acid

Glycolic peeling is carried out with different concentrations of acid. If you have never done acid peels, then the doctor will start with the use of gentle compounds. The purpose of peeling is to remove the upper stratum corneum of the skin and erase all defects from the face (irregularities, bumps, small pimples, age spots). In response to the aggressive effects of peeling, skin cells begin to renew themselves more actively, and within a few days your skin will glow with health.

Acid peels are usually carried out in the autumn-winter period. This is exactly the time when our skin becomes dull, looks tired and takes on a sallow or pale tone, also due to climate change. Find out more about how glycolic peeling will restore your healthy complexion here.

Makeup artist secrets: how to achieve radiant skin like Meghan Markle, Halle Berry and other stars

Base: evens out complexion and adds radiance

The main rule when applying makeup is the base. Depending on your skin type, it performs different functions, the main one of which is to even out your complexion. The base can also add shine. But keep in mind that the radiant base contains reflective particles that add relief, so before using this, solve all your skin problems. So, if there are no obstacles, proceed as follows: first apply a “luminous” base, and put a thin layer of light foundation on top. The skin tone will be smooth and a natural glow will appear.

How to achieve the Gym Face effect

Happy, glowing skin is hydrated skin. Even an expensive highlighter looks artificial on a dehydrated, dull face. So, if you properly moisturize your skin and want to achieve a wow effect with your makeup, arm yourself with a strobing cream. Let us remember that strobing is a sculpting technique that uses highlighting of the prominent areas of the face. When choosing a cream, be careful not to overdo it, because it contains large reflective particles. Thanks to its radiant texture and pearlescent shade, strobing cream refreshes the complexion and gives that same moisture effect. This is also called a gym face - literally: a fit face after a pleasant exercise, healthy, moisturized and as if without makeup at all.

If you want to create a radiant tone using strobing cream, do not rush to mix it into your foundation - otherwise you will see an overly oily face in a selfie. Instead, use the prominent parts of the face - the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, the area above the arch of the eyebrow, above the upper lip and in the hollow above the chin. If your skin is prone to oily skin, the product should be applied after powder.

The classic version of step-by-step creation of a radiant tone is a matte base, thick foundation and highlighter as a finish. Let's see how the stars cope with the task!

  Why go to a cosmetologist if your skin looks great: 5 good reasons

Meghan Markle

Prince Harry's wife knows a lot about fresh makeup. Properly applied highlighter and powder add radiance to the skin, and individual illuminated areas of the face create the effect of a healthy glow.

Olivia Wilde

The actress's natural makeup is her calling card for all occasions. A damp base underneath the tone hides even the smallest imperfections. Fresh and bright at the same time!

Brie Larson

The Hollywood actress prefers light shades in makeup. A light scattering of highlighter on the cheekbones harmonizes perfectly with shadows and lipstick - this is how Brie looks younger and fresher.

Halle Berry

At 52, Halle Berry is a role model. The actress uses light strobing in her makeup. A well-chosen highlighter shade goes well with the star’s dark skin tone. An important detail: Holly doesn’t forget about the collarbones. This way, a natural glow appears throughout the entire look.

Cate Blanchett

You can't take your eyes off Kate's face. The radiant make-up base smoothes the actress's skin without the effect of blurred skin, and the blush gives a warm pink-peach hue. And a correctly applied highlighter seems to highlight areas of the face without overloading the makeup with shine. Here it is - that very effect of radiance from within!

Heidi Klum

Recently, the model prefers warm and natural shades in makeup. A blooming and rested look is achieved through the appropriate application of highlighter. Take note of this look for spring makeup!

Katy Perry

The singer glows either with happiness or with radiant makeup. Obviously, the second option plays a big role. Correctly placed accents in makeup allow Katie to emphasize her cheekbones, nose and face shape, and reflective particles add relief.

Gas-liquid peeling

What to do if tomorrow is a meeting, a date, a party, a graduation... any important event for you, and you want to look irresistible? In this case, it is gas-liquid peeling that will cope with this task with a plus. With this type of peeling, there is no need to set aside time for rehabilitation. Light redness after peeling disappears within an hour.

Gas-liquid peeling is a non-contact procedure. Using a special apparatus, your face is exposed to a stream of liquid and oxygen. Peeling removes flaking, cleanses the skin, reduces pores, improves complexion and erases dark circles under the eyes, and also significantly reduces the number of freckles and age spots. Check out reviews from our clients and prices for gas-liquid peeling here.

How to improve your complexion with water

It is important to tone your skin every morning. The lower the temperature of the water when washing your face in the morning, the longer the skin retains its freshness. Mineral water with sparkling water and pieces of ice is an excellent tonic. Such a refreshing cocktail every morning - and your skin is always flawless.

If by the evening you are running out of energy, you have to be on your feet all day, there are dark circles under your eyes, and your face is sagging, it’s time to perform a simple home procedure.

1. Take two containers, fill one with ice water, the second with hot water.
2. You can add a decoction of mint, lavender or their elixirs to cold water.
3. When hot, add lemon zest or add a few drops of citrus essential oil.
4. Soak a simple towel in hot water, wring it out and apply it to your face, gently patting it with your palms.
5. Do the same with ice water.

Several contrasting applications will restore elasticity to the skin, it will smooth out, acquire a delicate color and become fresher.

Mesotherapy

In addition to peelings, we recommend that our patients saturate their skin with vitamins and nutrients—facial mesotherapy. In our clinic you will do:

• injection mesotherapy;
• non-injection mesotherapy.

What is the difference? In both cases, the goal of the procedure is to rejuvenate and improve complexion with the help of special vitamin cocktails. Only in the first option, cocktails are delivered under the skin using injections into bioactive points of the face.

In the second option, a vitamin cocktail will be applied to your skin like a cream, and a special device will deliver all the vitamins to the deep layers of the skin. The effect of tightened, young and radiant skin even from one mesotherapy procedure lasts for several months.

Do you want to maintain the effect of youth for a long time?

One-time peeling or mesotherapy sessions are necessary in emergency cases, but if you want a long-term transformation, we recommend taking courses of all rejuvenating and wellness procedures.

Do a series of peels

For example, a series of just 5-8 glycolic peels can relieve you of problems with oily skin for several months, eliminate blackheads, tighten pores, reduce the appearance of acne and post-acne, improve complexion and remove dark circles under the eyes.

Carry out mesotherapy comprehensively

A course of mesotherapy will make your skin young and elastic. According to reviews from our patients who regularly undergo mesotherapy in courses of 10-15 procedures, as a result of these efforts, 70-90% of wrinkles are smoothed out, complexion improves, skin peeling, acne and enlarged pores completely disappear.

A huge advantage of carrying out mesotherapy with us is that you have a choice. If you are categorically against injections, you can always opt for non-injection mesotherapy.

Don't forget the elixir of youth

Another way to return color to your face is biorevitalization. What it is? As you know, with age our skin begins to lose hyaluronic acid - an important component that affects the youth of the skin.

As soon as there is less hyaluronic acid, we begin to age, the first wrinkles appear, blue circles under the eyes, the skin becomes flabby and dull. It’s not for nothing that hyaluronic acid is included in all elite cosmetics for facial care.

Biorevitalization returns this essential elixir of youth to the skin. Hyaluronic acid is delivered under the skin through a series of injections. Even if you don't like injections, you should try this procedure. It takes place with preliminary anesthesia, so 95% of our patients note that they do not feel injections during a biorevitalization session.

When administered on time (when signs of aging are just beginning to appear), injections of hyaluronic acid slow down the aging process of the skin. If you start doing biorevitalization at the age of 30-35, then you will be able to prolong your youth by at least 20-25 years. See what our patients have to say about this procedure here.

How to improve the condition of your facial skin?

Stress, cold, wind, dampness, air conditioning, poor nutrition - there are many factors that negatively affect the condition of the skin. If you add to this the tendency of the skin to irritate and its improper care, you have a serious problem. What can you do to improve the condition of your skin? What to remember and what to beware of?

A fast, stressful pace of life and poor diet are two of the greatest enemies of healthy and beautiful skin. To improve its condition, you must first of all follow a healthy diet rich in foods that promote good skin condition. Secondly, it is worth relying on comprehensive care with good dermocosmetics.

Diet for healthy skin

Daily consumption of large amounts of liquid (still mineral water is recommended) has a beneficial effect. A healthy, balanced diet is complemented by products that improve the appearance of the skin, rich in omega-3, unsaturated vegetable oils, antioxidants, vitamins, micro- and macroelements.

Healthy fats (from fatty sea fish, flaxseed oil, soybean, rapeseed, walnuts, egg yolks) are necessary to restore the protective layer and stimulate skin regeneration. Antioxidants, in turn, remove free radicals from skin cells, which prevents aging and the development of cancer.

Excess free radicals have another adverse effect - they destroy collagen fibers and elastin, which leads to the accelerated appearance of wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity. Foods rich in antioxidants include raspberries, blueberries, currants, apples, plums, cherries, beans, tomatoes, cranberries, chokeberries, oregano, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, cocoa, cloves, etc.

How to choose cosmetics for yourself?

First of all, select products based on your skin type and its needs. Most brands on the market have cosmetics lines that suit a certain age (25+, 35+, 45+, etc.) and a certain type (dry, oily, combination). It is worth choosing drugs aimed at solving specific skin problems - for example, sensitive skin, with atopic lesions, capillary, acne, allergic, hyperpigmentation, etc. The better we select cosmetics, the better results it will bring.

Care should be approached comprehensively. Using one cream or lotion designed to stimulate skin repair processes may not be enough. And here again it’s worth turning to lines of specialized cosmetics - creams, lotions, gels, serums, etc. - their action will complement and support each other.

Also remember that most of the cosmetics we use do not reach the deeper layers of the skin, where epidermal cell division processes occur. To complement the care “from the outside,” it is also worth turning to dermocosmetics, which affect the condition of the skin “from the inside.” These drugs are most often in the form of capsules or lozenges, taken orally, which allow you to moisturize and nourish the skin in its deepest layers.

There are a number of dermocosmetics that have been created to improve the condition of the skin. These are, first of all, preparations based on natural plant extracts with properties that restore and stimulate reparative processes in skin cells.
