When it comes to face cosmetic, the imperative is, as always, to maintain good hydration. This can be done using home made methods and good daily habits.

For the prevention it is recommended to decrease the washing (soap and water in excess and too frequently affect the sebum and skin hydration) and use cream cleaners, based on marigold (slightly alkaline and well suited for children’s skin too), instead of foaming soap. Remember that the hydration also passes from the mouth: drink 8 glasses of water a day and eat moisturizer foods, such as fruit (citrus, berries and kiwi, also rich in vitamin C for skin brightness) and vegetables (lettuce and peppers are the most recommended).

Primarily treat the face with beauty face masks based on good moisturizer like sandalwood, with outstanding fragrance, rose, relaxing, or lavender, with invigorating powers. There are also coconut oil (emollient), sunflower (for dehydrated and chapped skin), sesame (highly nutritious), cinnamon (reactivates the circulatory system), flax (against free radicals) and the list goes on. For skin spots due to uneven distribution of melanin because of aging  you can try a simple, inexpensive remedy: apply pure castor oil with a cotton swab, morning and evening,  on pigmented spots.

Also honey is a valuable ally against dehydration skin, try this beauty face mask, for example: 1 teaspoon of plain yogurt, 1 of white clay, 1 honey, spread the mixture and after 20 minutes you can rinse with warm water.

But when the home made remedies and good habits and feel are not enough and you need for a more experienced hand, you can always turn to revitalizing treatments of aesthetic medicine. To restore the contents of hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen in our skin, you can rely (after medical tests) on biorejuvenating treatments that contrast enzymatic processes of aging, free radicals action and stimulate, through injections or topical creams the strengthening of the skin.

Those ugly pouches under your eyes are not natural and they are not caused by aging, at least not entirely. Eye bags are as a result of poor lifestyle, failure to take care of the body, unhealthy eating and generally not being concerned about the factors that damage your face. The good thing is that you can fix this problem. You can get rid of the sagging pouches under the eyes, restore elasticity to the skin and make it healthy, smooth and youthful again through a good facial fitness program that will guide you on proper facial exercises, diet and lifestyle. The best way to tackle eye bags is to identify what brought them about in the first place. In most cases, they are caused by unhealthy eating, lack of sleep, stress, face fat and aging.

There are several very effective exercises that you can use to repair the area below your eyes to get rid of facial eye bags. The first is eye winks exercises. From the name, you do this exercise by closing one eye while the other stays open. Get yourself in a comfortable position, close one eye without twitching the other and hold this position for a while. Another good eye bags exercise can be done by placing two fingers on the area beneath the eye just above the eye socket bone then applying gentle pressure and rotating the finger without moving the head.

Although there are different ways you may come across on how to get rid of eye bags, none is as effective as through facial exercise and generally facial fitness. There are many exercises that can be done in variation to achieve the desired facial fitness but since they are not intensive exercises, their success lie in how frequently they are done and how long each exercise session lasts.

The intense pulsed light treatment is a procedure lasting about 30 minutes in which pulses of intense light (IPL) are used to penetrate under the skin. Also called photorejuvenation, the intense pulsed light treatment causes narrowing of blood vessels and collagen, reducing wrinkles and redness. The procedure involves only a small annoyance, while redness and small bruises sometimes appear, they go away shortly after the session. The benefits of pulsed light  gradually become visible during the weeks of treatment.

The contraindications of the pulsed light is not a major impediment to exploiting its effect and to obtain satisfactory results. Contraindications are indeed mainly related to pregnancy, open wounds, skin cancer or very pronounced scars. If you are honest with your doctor about any health related issue you have or had in the past, there will be no complications.

Side effects of pulsed light are light and will resolve themselves within hours or days. The most common side effect is redness of the face. The small capillaries in fact may appear more conspicuously after treatment, but do not worry, it’s a common thing that goes away immediately. Small bruises rarely form, but these will also disappear in a few days. Permanent effects caused by pulsed light are also very rare. Blistering, bleeding, scarring or hypo / hyper pigmentation have also been reported in very few cases.

The benefits of pulsed light cover almost the entire spectrum of cosmetic dermatology and may be helpful for almost all cases of blemishes.

• Pulsed light  can repair blood vessels that have become visible
• It can help fighhting acne
• Facial intense pulsed light treatments are also excellent treatments for rosacea and redness of the skin
• The skin rejuvenation stimulates collagen production to repair minor skin problems and improve the tissues of the epidermis

Since the pulsed light treatment interacts with the deep layers of the skin, it can be used effectively with other treatments such as dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, peeling (chemical and not) and fractionated laser that acts instead on the first layer of the skin, the epidermis.
