Love The Skin You Are In

Love your skin and learn three basic things you can do to take care of it! 

One of the body parts that need the most love from us would be our skin. A healthy, well cared for skin reflects how much we take care of ourselves. Two things we are often most guilty of that makes our skin looking so “unloved” are:  exposing ourselves to harsh elements without the necessary skin protection, and neglecting to instill a set of skin care routine which include daily ablutions and regular visits to the dermatologist or professional skin care clinics.

Dr. Vinson B. Pineda, renowned father of Philippine dermatology and founder of the Dermclinic, the pioneer expert in professional skincare here in the Philippines has this to say:  “Our skin needs the necessary maintenance and care on a daily basis. Added to that would be a regular consultation with a dermatologist and undergo procedures that address our skin needs. Otherwise, as you age, the neglect begin to show like wrinkles and age spots which could be irreversible.”

What Dr. Pineda promotes is that we achieve our best look and the best state of health for our skin even as we lead busy, varying lifestyles or whatever skin tone or condition we have. The best example for this is Dermclinic’s spokesperson, beauty queen and celebrity Ms. Venus Raj. “She is an epitome of a Filipina beauty. Her brown, healthy glow is a result of her commitment to take care of her skin despite her busy and stressful schedule,” Dr. Pineda explains.

There are 3 basic things one can do to “love” their skin and will surely pay-off later on:

• Daily protection from the sun – prolonged and repeated exposure to the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays damages the skin, most common of which include wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. It is a must that one applies daily sun protection with a sunscreen that has ample levels of sun protection factor (SPF).

• Daily cleansing of the skin, especially the face – Dirt and impurities from pollution, cosmetics, and dust invade our skin on a daily basis. What averts adverse effects later on like acne, pimples, and skin blotches would be a daily skincare regimen such as the basic 3-step: cleanse, condition, and moisturize.

• Regular visits to the dermatologist – a professional dermatologist would have the necessary training and credentials to examine your skin and recommend the best procedures you need to undergo at a certain point. Depending on your age, skin condition, lifestyle, and other factors, the dermatologist would know what is best for your skin and what habits you need to adopt.

Dr. Pineda couldn’t express more the importance of consulting a dermatologist. “I in fact have a team of well-trained and highly experienced dermatologists who I field in every Dermclinic branch. It is part of the professional service to give our customers expert advice on their skin so that they undergo the right procedures and get the best results.”  In other words, one can expect so much love and care from dermatologists everytime you visit Dermclinic.

 

Three of the most popular procedures offered at Dermclinic are: NuLight, a safe and effective non-invasive treatment that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to address specific skin conditions.; The 3Face, a procedure that give patients a complete facial care – Microdermabrasion, Collagen Renewal, and Skin Tightening; and the NuDerm Supreme, an advanced skin rejuvenation system composed of different skincare products, each with its own unique formulation – to cleanse, tone, exfoliate, lighten, moisturize and protect skin.

3 Steps to Love Your Skin

How well do you care for your skin?

This is the question I have for you today.

I started off with a good skincare regimen pretty late in my life. That's when I had severe acne that my mom got so bothered she brought me to Dermclinic to have it checked. She was worried that my skin wasn't healing well and wasn't outgrowing the puberty stage. But it was the beginning of a good relationship with my skin. Suffice it to say, all it needed was for me to care for it a little bit more with just a few simple things. Now, I'm enjoying life way much better that I used to. :)

 Dr. Vinson Pineda, renowned father of Philippine dermatology and founder of the Dermclinic imparts, "Our skin needs the necessary maintenance and care on a daily basis. Added to that would be a regular consultation with a dermatologist and undergo procedures that address our skin needs. Otherwise, as you age, the neglect begin to show like wrinkles and age spots which could be irreversible."

He also recognizes that modern Filipinas now want more in life, we are driven and career-motivated. We live an active lifestyle that may sometimes lead us to neglect the basic things like caring for our skin. But we can all do this without our skin suffering the consequence in later years! Because we all know we will care how we look years from now. :)

That is why Dr. Pineda developed a simple skin caring routine that even the busiest of women can follow. One that's been proven to be most effective to fight off premature aging and other future skin problems. Here are the 3 Steps that you can do to "love" your skin! 

1. Daily protection from the sun

    Prolonged and repeated exposure to the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays damages the skin, most common of which include wrinkles and hyper-pigmentation. It is a must that one applies daily sun protection with a sunscreen that has ample levels of sun protection factor (SPF) 

2. Daily cleansing of the skin, especially the face

    Dirt and impurities from pollution, cosmetics, and dust invade our skin on a daily basis. What averts adverse effects later on like acne, pimples, and skin blotches would be a daily skincare regimen such as the basic 3-step: cleanse, condition, and moisturize.

3. Regular visits to the Dermatologist

    A professional dermatologist would have the necessary training and credentials to examine your skin and recommend the best procedures you need to undergo at a certain point. Depending on your age, skin condition, lifestyle, and other factors, the dermatologist would know what is best for your skin and what habits you need to adopt.

AMW x Dermclinic gives: Love the skin you are in with Dermclinic GCs

Hi AMW Friends!

Aside from loving the Friday Madness, Friday is the best time to share another giveaway! Do I hear “Yehey?” I caannn’ttt heeaaaarrrr yoooouuuu!!!!

Thanks to our friends from Dermclinic for being so supportive of my blog as they are willing to give 2 GCs for 2 lucky AMW readers to try! I can’t contain my excitement! If you were able to attend to ANY of my makeup workshops, I always start by talking about skincare, why? Well, a healthy and well-cared skin do not need much makeup! Can you imagine how easy life is to cut your makeup time in half because your skin radiates the natural glow?

                                               Less Makeup is More on a Good Skin Day

BUT, with our environment, it is very difficult to keep our skin looking fresh and healthy without the help of skin care products and facials. I am one STRONG believer of having your skin taken care by a dermatologist or professional skin care clinic makes a WHOLE difference! Way back when I was working in China, I used to have regular facials on a weekly basis and I tell you, my skin was glowing!

Though I can’t seem to have the schedule/time to go to clinics like I use to, I have some secrets to take care of my skin

• I use Sunscreen on a daily basis, yes, even when I don’t go out of the house!
• I wash my face with gentle face cleanser regularly and remove my makeup thoroughly before I go to sleep at night.
• Given the time, I go at least once a month or once every 2 months to have a regular facial, let’s say for my sensitive skin, I only need a facial that keeps my skin hydrated. Or when I really don’t have the time, I rely on facel masks! :)

As for YOU, whether you are a regular facial clinic customer or a first-timer, I give you the chance to try Dermclinic

Cutting edge Beauty from Dermclinic

People nowadays would do everything to look young and if possible to stop from aging.

 

And more often than not, it is an arduous, expensive and demanding resolve. Others would stay hours in the mirror applying all sorts of cosmetics while others who do not have the time will rely on artificial and invasive means; and there are those who employ inimitable regimen to stay younger-looking.

Nothing wrong with that as long as one’s peculiar “beauty secret” is safe and effective.

What most people don’t understand is that looking young and beautiful can also be found. Genetics, race, diet, culture and age should be taken into play.

Awareness on these factors can help someone decide on how to effectively care for their skin and body. Remember, skin is the largest organs of the body, and since its also the most obvious, no wonder how much emphasis is placed on caring for it. 

Skin exfoliates naturally, regenerating new skin cells automatically, causing youthful skin to have that healthy, natural glow.  But as skin ages, its ability to shed or slough off dead skin cells slows considerably.

Now, amidst all this vanities, fascination and thirst for youthful glow, DermClinic introduces a three-way expert solution.

Dermclinic, the pioneer and leading dermatological exponent in the country, combines innovation, careful research and basic truths to come up with a three-way expert solution in unraveling your “fountain of youth” and defying age.

These three basic steps are Improvements in fine lines and wrinkles; Firmness and elasticity improvement; and Increase in Skin Renewal Rate.

Dr. Vinson Pineda, founder and President of Dermclinic, says this is a milestone in the beauty industry and he’s proud that Dermclinic came up with the 3Face and CO2 Lasers for staying gorgeous.

With these easy-to-do steps, men and women can now experience a youthful beauty, build their confidence and appreciate oneself more importantly.
