Have you ever wondered why some of your skin or beauty results may be taking longer than you would like? Is it possible that you may be sabotaging your beauty with your diet and lifestyle habits?

There is only so much that can be done with the latest machines and skincare technology. Many people seek a quick fix. We can correct many skin condition and deliver excellent results, but is it possible to gain even better and long-term results if you approach your beauty concerns holistically?

Let's take the case of acne. We can address, take care of, and even to some extent, control acne breakouts. But what we are dealing with is often the symptoms of a greater problem. So, all we can do is alleviate the symptoms, but in some cases to address the cause, you may need to look further than corrective skin or beauty treatments.

Many people look for the magic cure for acne (or ageing, or pigmentation etc). There are excellent treatments that will clear skin conditions effectively, but all we are doing is stamping out the fire. If you keep lighting the flame and causing a new fire, your skin conditions will reignite - pardon the pun. You need to turn off the ignition. You need to address the cause of your skin problems. And the cause is often internal or environmental (lifestyle). It may be the hormones during puberty, it may be the stress on your body, lifestyle factors, or undiagnosed food intolerances in adulthood. In the case of ageing and pigmentation, it is definitely linked to lifestyle factors. You can have "good" genes and still age faster if you sunbake and smoke all day long. You can have "bad" genes and have a great skin if you look after yourself. It's no longer just about the genes. It's about the environment and how it impacts on your genes.

A holistic approach includes taking care of your skin, your mind and your body. Taking care of your body with good nutrition, regular recreation, relaxation, and exercise will foster a healthier mind, body and skin. Skincare and professional treatments will correct your skin problems and deliver awesome results, but to maintain those results, you need to address the cause of your skin problems. Look at your diet and lifestyle and be honest about your health and wellbeing. Are you doing your best to look after yourself, your health, beauty, and wellbeing?

What is the difference between a beautician, beauty therapist, esthetician, aesthetician and dermal therapist?

Image
Beautician, beauty therapist, esthetician, aesthetician, dermal therapist - what do all these mean? These terms are different in various countries whether you are in Australia, Europe, Asia or the US. I will try and explain the terms as they are used in Australia. Beautician BEAUTICIAN  Certificate III in Beauty Services (3-6 month study) Beauticians can be trained on the job by their peers with no formal qualification or training. Some beauticians, however go to TAFE and have a Certificate III in beauty treatments. Beauticians mostly perform beauty services such as spray tanning, waxing, tinting, nails enhancements, express pedicures, makeup and lash extensions. They may be allowed in some salons to do basic facial cleanse in preparation for make up aplication, basic manual body treatments and massages under the supervision of a suitably qualified beauty therapist.   Beauty Therapist BEAUTY THERAPISTS / ESTHETICIANS / AESTHETICIANS Certificate IV Beauty Therapy (6-12 m...

Is Micro Needling Better Than Chemical Peels?

Image
One of my students sent me this question:  "Do you feel that needling is better than chemical peels?" I thought it's an excellent question because, because with so many people talking about these skin rejuvenating treatments, it can be quite confusing.  Micro-needling and chemical peels are two different modalities used for various purposes. It's like comparing apples to bread. Not everyone needs micro-needling, and not everyone is a suitable candidate for chemical peels. What Is Micro-needling or Dermarolling?  Micro-needling, skin needling (or dermal rolling) was used initially as a clinical treatment for improving and reducing post-acne scarring. It works by breaking down existing scarred tissues with fine needles which stimulate the skin healing and rejuvenating process. Over the past few years, it has become a popular modality for reducing the appearance of aging, lines, wrinkles and tightening the skin. The process is called Collagen Induction ...

CONGESTION: a cluster of small, deep, skin coloured, painless, stubborn lumps / bumps on the skin

Image
Congestion can be a stubborn problem to clear, it can linger and be a real nuisance. In oil related congestion, the sebum is thick and waxy and has settled deep down in the hair follicle. Usually found around the chin and cheeks, it feels like a cluster of small, deep lumps under the skin. Congestion is usually skin colored , is not painful and does not itch. Once it appears, it usually just sits there and does not clear on its own. The waxy sebum can be a result of poor nutrition, certain food intolerance, a sluggish metabolism, hormones,  not drinking enough water, etc. and  if left untreated, can potentially lead to ruptured follicles, papules and painful lesions or acne.  To clear it, the waxy sebum has to be broken down, liquefied , and allowed to flow freely to the surface.  If congestion occurs around the jawline and cheeks, and occasionally on the neck, then it is either caused by over nourishing products or it's an internal problem, where the bod...
