Skin revitalization:
The main problem with the facial skin seems to be those annoying spots. The Dermis which is the inner layer of the skin, contains a protein substance known as Collagen where skin blood vessels are located and which helps in growing new skin cells. It is the presence of collagen that gives you a smoother, fresher look. Acne damages the skin on the dermal level. Following the body’s natural healing process, damaged tissues are repaired, resulting in scars. The bad news is that, outside of invasive cosmetic procedures, it’s not possible to completely get rid of acne scars. However  their appearance, size and colour can be improved. It can also be noted that with age, collagen weakens and skin loses its elasticity and tone; thus the crow-feet every time you smile, frown or squint. The answer to both these problems lies in remedies that stimulate new skin cell growth.
Most beauty creams that claim to do the job mainly contain hydroxyl and salicylic acids to lighten darks scars. However, it’s wise not to try out for cream after cream as you risk aggravating the problem than improving it. Essential oils such as Tea-tree oil contains one of the most powerful ingredients known for getting rid of scars; Benzoyl peroxide; applied daily, it’s been known to show significant changes in three to four weeks. Chamomile, is another essential oil worth mentioning in particular because it has anti-inflammatory properties that actually prevent acne reoccurrence. The citric acid in lime and lemon juice is known to lighten or fade the colour of scars so they’re less noticeable, vinegar acts as a mild chemical peel of the top layer of old skin cells and unprocessed honey, popular for fighting the aging process, contains enzymes that rebuild skin tissue. Fresh fruit such as pineapples and grapes are rich in antioxidants that promote healing at the cellular level. Vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumber have the same effect; a blend paste of the two applied for 30 minutes every day has been known to increasingly rejuvenate the skin.
There are numerous ‘natural’ options out there but the most natural way to retain perfectly healthy skin is to eat your vitamins, lead a healthy lifestyle to limit the number of toxins getting in your body and rid yourself of stress so that your body has a better chance of repairing itself.
Popular minor skin ‘jobs’
When all DIYs have been tried and tested, those with the knack and wallet for it choose to go the extra mile for gorgeous skin. The most popular beauty cosmetic procedures in Nairobi have to be the Collagen Fill and Microdermabration. The collagen fill is a simple procedure, offered in many up-market salons, where the beautician literally injects collagen beneath the skin to replenish your dwindling stores. The results are a smoother, younger, almost wrinkle free glow. The effect of a fill is immediate but it isn’t permanent and needs to be repeated every three to six  months. Microdermabation is a light procedure where the outermost layer of dead skin is gently exfoliated (removed) using abrasive-like crystals and sanctioned (lifted). It has been likened to the feeling of a cat licking the skin; rough but gentle. It is non-invasive (no needles or anaesthetics required), takes anywhere from five to 60 minutes to perform, and has minimal to no recovery time.  Like a collagen fill, and because skin takes approximately 30 days to regenerate, a microderm is not permanent and needs to be redone every once in a while
Fills and microderms diminish hyper pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, acne and acne scars and allows   easier absorption of other products. Like any other procedures however, they carry possible side effects, however minimal, among them being temporary dryness, sun sensitiveness, and very rarely, temporary bruising in the area of the skin treated. Choosing to get a minor procedure done is very personal. Ask yourself why you want it, your expectation and desired outcome, make sure your beauty practitioner is certified and experienced, confirm you are a good candidate and that you know the risks and what your options are should you be dissatisfied with the results....
