Getting an Eyebrow Tint Procedure to Enhance Your Look

With the evolution of beauty remains the long-time trend that doesn’t seem to be fading anytime soon—natural-looking thick eyebrows. While plenty of men and women are born with bushy brows, some who aren’t so lucky yearn to have eyebrows as full and beautiful as notable celebrities like Cara Delevingne and Keira Knightley.

Luckily, the cosmetics industry has decided to save everyone by providing products to imitate eyebrows to look good using pencils, powders, and brushes and create your desired look. If you tend to fill in your eyebrows every day, then you may find it time-consuming, especially if you’re in a rush to go about your routine.

In that case, you may want to consider other solutions that offer semi-permanence, such as eyebrow tinting. It’s a quick and affordable method to achieving natural-looking eyebrows for a given period. That way, you don’t have to spend your time rushing to draw in your brows, and you can use your free time to spend it on your other priorities. Before anything else, you first need to know what exactly eyebrow tinting involves.

What Is Eyebrow Tinting?

Eyebrow tinting is the act of dying the colour of your brows using a semi-permanent solution, wax, or henna to give you a more defined and effortless look. It is recommended for people who have thin eyebrows and want to make them look thicker, although if people insisted, anyone could get their brows tinted to shorten their daily makeup routines.

You can expect a standard eyebrow tinting procedure to last for about four to six weeks. However, it can change based on whether you get it done professionally, or you do it on your own at home. 

The products you use and the duration it takes for your eyebrows to grow will also affect the lifespan of your tint, as well as the lengths you make to take care of your newly done brows following the process. For best results, you should ask a professional regarding the right product to use and the perfect shade that will match your hair colour seamlessly.

The Brow Tinting Process

The first step to getting an eyebrow or lash tint is visiting a brow specialist and consulting with them regarding what your brows currently look like and what appearance you want to achieve. You can choose from an array of colours and select one that matches the shade of your hair perfectly. 

Depending on your preference, you can also opt to go one shade darker or lighter, so long as it will look natural and suit your skin colour, hair colour, and final appearance. After picking a shade, the technician will mix the tint and test it on your skin to check if you have any allergic reactions to the chemical. 

When you’re good to go, your eyebrows will be cleansed and shaped according to your desires. To keep the tint from staining your skin, an expert will apply cream or gel around your brows before a heavy layer of dye is placed and left on your brows for a few minutes or hours until it’s safe to wipe off once the colour has set on your brows.

Ways to Make Your Tint Last

The secret to prolonging the lifespan of your eyebrow tint will depend on numerous factors. Firstly, you should choose a mild facial wash whenever you cleanse your face. Avoid rubbing your skin to prevent the tint from fading.

You should also apply sunscreen during the day or put on a hat to keep the sunlight from affecting your eyebrow tint. As much as possible, don’t try to do the procedure on your own and learn to seek a professional’s help instead, especially if you want to achieve results you won’t regret.

While choosing a darker shade may look harsh in the beginning, it’s necessary because it will last longer than a tint made with a lighter shade. Never groom your brows too much that you end up ruining its natural shape. When plucking, threading, or waxing your brows, do it slowly and steadily.

Conclusion

If you’re considering getting your eyebrows tinted, you can do so for the reason that it’s an easy and cost-efficient alternative to filling in your eyebrows every day alongside wanting to improve your look. Eyebrow tinting is a semi-permanent solution that offers convenient results, so long as you learn to trust a professional who knows how to get the job done right and make you look good!

What You Need to Know About Getting a Carbon Laser Facial

One of the most popular facial treatments across Asia is the Carbon Laser Facial. At some point, it was even known by another moniker: the China Doll facial. This was largely due to its reputation for keeping your skin radiant, soft and smooth. 

Eventually, the aestheticians who looked after Hollywood’s A-List celebrities and superstars caught on. It was then renamed the Hollywood Peel, also known as the Hollywood Laser Peel.

Facial Treatment

The Carbon Laser Facial gives patients lowered risks of hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation while affording them the hope of gaining skin radiance and brightening alongside deep layer rejuvenation. This is especially so for people whose skin tones were on the darker side of the spectrum.

Other benefits include:

  • Reduction of the bacteria P. Acnes, responsible for acne
  • Removal of dead skin cells
  • Removal of surface dirt and oil

CLF

Whichever name you know the treatment by, the core principle stands. Carbon Laser Facial (CLF) is a laser skin treatment that makes use of carbon’s conductive qualities to do the following fast and painlessly: 

  • Brightening and evening-out of skin tone
  • Cleansing
  • Clearing and tightening of pores
  • Exfoliation

It also activates a natural, deep skin rejuvenating reaction which brings forth plump, radiant, smooth skin.

Double-Edged Sword

The process itself is pretty straightforward and science-based. The carbon is usually applied to clean skin through one of three mediums: cream, lotion or paste. The layer applied is thin and opaque, left for 10-20 minutes in order to reach skin temperature. While the carbon is drying, it ties itself to any dead skin cells, dirt, and/or oil on the skin’s surface. When that’s done, the carbon will then be primed for the laser.

Laser light is naturally attracted to carbon, which then absorbs the light energy. When this occurs, a small burst best described as a mini-explosion happens in reaction. The energy is then pushed by the explosion, in heat form, deeply into skin layers. Collagen and elastin are then activated, which triggers the production of new cells. On the surface, the carbon will essentially get vaporised along with any of the bad stuff it absorbed. 

Sounds worrisome? No need to get nervous as there’s little to no discomfort or pain. Some have described the sensation of the procedure as a mild tingle or, at most, the slightest pinch.

By the end of the session, your skin will probably feel a bit warm. That’s normal. More importantly, though, your pores will feel tighter, your fine lines will be gone and the plumpness of your skin will be evident. CLF results are pretty much instant and last for days on end.

Conclusion

Carbon laser facial has gotten quite a few name changes in the past several years, but it’s still the same thing at the core. It’s a procedure that can help bring new life to your skin the natural way with little to no discomfort or pain. CLF is a great way to treat yourself, whether as a way to de-stress or as a celebration of an achievement.

Correcting Misunderstandings About Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a popular facial treatment that has many positive effects on your skin, but it also is surrounded by many negative misconceptions. If you are one of the many people wondering if this treatment is worth the time and money, its high demand should be enough evidence. If you want more convincing, however, let this article clarify the truth behind this crowd-favourite treatment: 

It is a painful treatment

The thought of removing the top layer of your skin may seem like a painful activity, but in reality, microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin treatment. It works on your skin’s surface, so it is improbable that you will experience any aches and pains. In fact, most people find it relaxing. If you feel any discomfort, it could be because your technician is heavy-handed. Let them know if you feel any pain so they can make the proper adjustments. 

The treatment takes a long time to finish

You can have a microdermabrasion treatment even with your busy schedule. This procedure can be as short as fifteen minutes, and the longest possible treatment time is about an hour. It is a treatment you can have during your lunch break or as you wait for your kids to finish school. 

It does not offer anything useful, and you will need multiple treatments to see results

If you think microdermabrasion is not helpful for your skin in any way, you probably have no idea of how important exfoliating is. Microdermabrasion is similar to skin exfoliation, but it is the faster and more effective way to do it. It is the process of gently sanding your skin and removing the thick and uneven outer layer. It removes all the dead skin cells on the top layer of your skin and the impurities locked inside your pores. It also reduces fine lines, sun damage, and shallow acne marks on your skin. Your skin will immediately look smoother and moisturized after the treatment. 

You need time to recover

You can return to your work or fetch your kids right after your microdermabrasion appointment. Sure, your face will look a bit pink, but it is not as bad as you might have imagined. This condition is only temporary, and it does not look bad at all. Expect your skin to fully recover in less than a day. 

It is a treatment only for the fair-skinned

Microdermabrasion is not only for the fair-skinned. It can be an effective treatment for all skin types and colours. In contrast to what you might think, it will not affect your skin colour in any way. It only reveals the fresher skin you have underneath. Do not let your skin colour stop you from experiencing this amazing skin treatment. 

Scrubbing your skin is much better

Microdermabrasion and exfoliating may have the same purpose, but they do not have the same effect. Scrubbing is only one step of a microdermabrasion session. Since a microdermabrasion treatment uses advanced technology, you can expect superior results. More than cleaning your face, it can help regenerate your skin from underneath. 

It is a treatment anyone can perform

The skin is the largest organ in the body, yet it can also be the most sensitive, particularly around the face. That is why you need to be careful with the products you put on it and the treatments you acquire. Microdermabrasion, once again, is different from regular exfoliation. It requires the knowledge and experience of a professional or licensed practitioner. It always pays off to seek service from people who know what they do. 

Conclusion

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive facial treatment you can have if you want smooth, even-toned, and younger-looking skin. It can renew your skin’s appearance and texture, unclog your pores, and clear your light acne marks. It is not any of the misconceptions mentioned above, so go ahead and enjoy its benefits. 

Microdermabrasion is a facial treatment that can restore your skin complexion. It can help you treat light acne scars and helps slow down signs of skin aging. Contact us today at Serenity Skin and Body to experience this treatment for yourself.

3 Things to Avoid After Your Bikini Waxing Session

Summer is fast approaching, meaning that the sun will be out for everyone to enjoy. You’ll be basking in warm rays and sandy beaches, with your choice of cocktail to get you through the heat. More importantly, you can now wear your favourite pair of bikini, to have fun on the beach with your loved ones. Wearing a bikini, however, compels you to think about unwanted hair—you’ll need to set your appointment for legs and underarm waxing, which should also include your bikini area. 

Bikini waxing, however, comes with a steady set of rules. Being in a rather sensitive area, you’ll want to protect your skin in the best way possible. Failure to do so will result in a disaster, especially since friction can quickly cause irritation, bumps, and other painful conditions. 

Bikini waxing rules are in place for a reason—they’ll help prevent unnecessary suffering on your end, especially since the heat can be rather harsh. Before setting your Brazilian wax appointment, make sure you know all the things to avoid right after. Here’s how to get your post-wax aftercare right:

Make sure to avoid the shower and bathtub after the session 

Due to hair unceremoniously pulled out in a single go, expect your bikini area to be sensitive. It will be uncomfortable to touch, so the goal here now is to avoid further irritation. One of the best ways to do so is to avoid showers and baths. 

Certain products can exacerbate your skin’s current condition, especially bubble baths. Keep in mind that baths can be even more harmful, especially since the water will likely be riddled with bacteria that can spread all around. As a result, bacteria can easily penetrate your follicles. You risk developing infections, which can be painful—and may cause you to miss out on that weekend getaway.

Opt for a rest day—skip your workout routine for the meantime 

Like with water, your sweat can easily irritate your skin, especially those highly sensitive areas. This is especially true for a freshly waxed bikini area, which is perhaps even more sensitive than other areas of your body. 

That said, it’s best to skip the gym and head home, as the salt content found in your skin will cause bumps and irritation. These can be painful to handle, and might yet be another reason why you’ll miss out on the weekend trip. For the best results, opt to take off a day or two and allow your skin to breathe and recuperate. 

Make sure to choose the loosest pieces in your wardrobe 

This tip is particularly important—avoid tight-fitting clothes at all costs. It’s best to come to your appointment wearing loose clothing, as arriving in jeans and shorts will rub your raw areas. This will cause irritations, sometimes even leading to some bleeding. 

That said, leave your jeans and leggings behind for the time being. Bring out your cotton fabrics, flowy shorts, and maxi dresses—your skin will be thankful. More importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to wear your bikini pieces without a problem!

Taking Good Care Of Your Skin

Getting a wax may seem rather straightforward, especially if you’ve been doing it religiously for your arm and leg hair. Unfortunately, your bikini area calls for special aftercare. As you book your bikini waxing session, keep these tips in mind. You’ll want to arrive at the beach in your bikini pieces, not wrapped up trying to hide red and irritated skin!
