With the cold weather, it is so much fun to layer clothes. Are there styles and outfits that you’ve always wanted to wear, but could not because it was too hot? You can now rock that pullover and boots. However, there is something we wear that will always be in no matter what season; our skin. This is why you need to take extra care to make sure you’ll maintain a radiant, healthy, and glowing skin all year round!

Not everyone is blessed with the genetics of perfect skin. Different skin types come with different problems, but we can classify them into three common types.

Oily skin tends to have large pores, and blemishes such as pimples or blackheads. Oiliness can be caused by puberty, other hormonal imbalances, or stress. To take care of oily skin:

Normal skin has a good balance of moisture, small pores, and an even tone. This is the goal of most skin care regimens, and most people have this skin type. But in order to maintain it in good condition, you need to minimize its exposure to the sun and follow a proper skin care regimen.

Combination skin can have dry or normal areas along with oily parts such as the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). This skin type can produce overly dilated pores, blackheads, and a shiny surface. Resolve these issues:

The key to having clear and healthy skin is to have a reliable skincare system. White Result White & Clear, the newest skincare treatment for normal to oily skin types, fights acne and excess oil production, corrects skin blemishes, inhibits melanin production, and keeps your skin fair and young looking!

The Effects Of Aging On The Face

As we aged, the years will noticeably, inevitably show on our faces. Skin sags, cheeks sink and chin lines widen. Laxity commonly first occurs on the forehead, which leads to eyebrow descent, excess skin or hooding on the eye lids, and a less open-eyed appearance. Meanwhile, cheek and neck tissue laxity can lead to flattening of the mid-cheek, nasolabial folds, "marionette" lines surrounding chin or downturned mouth, the loss of jawline angularity or jowls, and sagging under the chin. Fortunately, there is an effective, non-invasive, and sound solution for these effects.

Ultherapy is a non-surgical skin lifting procedure that uses tried and true ultrasound energy. It's the ONLY non-invasive, US FDA cleared procedure that's to lift the skin on the neck, brown and the chin.

Cosmetic procedures typically involve improving superficial layers of the skin's imperfections like fine lines, wrinkles and pigment changes. On the other hand, Ultherapy, addresses deeper skin layer where weak collagen is reorganized and strengthened by the growth of the new collagen leading to cosmetic enhancement that lends support to the skin.

Ultheraphy uses microfocused ultrasound with visiualization (MFU-V) to show the different tissue layers being targeted and structures such as bones, to avoid. And it treatsat pre-determined depths while bypassing the surface of the skin.

Focused ultrasound energy is delivered non-invasively to heat deep tissue without affecting the surface of the skin. The heat created triggers the body's natural response mechanism, which is to rejuvenate weakened collagen and supplement it with fresh, new collagen. Results build gradually over 2-3 months and can continue to improve upto 6 months post-procedure.
