5 Myths About Lip Injections That Are False

Lip injections are synonymous to having a duck lips by some people. All it takes is seeing one bad over-the-top lip job on reality TV for people to swear off injectables all together. The stigma surrounding cosmetic procedures, even non-invasive ones like temporary injectables and fillers, is still very much a thing despite all the advances being made in the field and the rise in popularity of cosmetic work. After a little research, I have gathered 5 myths on lip injections that aren’t true.

This sound like a logical reason but fillers such as  Restylane Lyft to target specific areas of your face to give definition to a rounder face and enhance natural features.

Some believe that once you start getting the treatment, you’ll have to continue forever or else your lips will deflate and sag. This is false, why, because hyaluronic acid filler into the skin actually stimulates collagen production.

Though the shape of your smile can change if the majority of the filler is injected directly into the parentheses lines around your mouth.  Especially because injecting too much product in that area can make your upper lip look puffy like  that of a monkey, and it’s only treating the symptoms, not the cause. The more natural and efficient way to address smile lines is to lift the skin fold that’s falling forward by injecting filler in the cheekbone area.

Despite the media’s scandalized reaction when Kylie Jenner finally admitted to having a lip filler sometime ago, lip augmentation procedures have exploded in popularity over the past few years _ especially for people in the 20-30-year-old range. The tools and methods of lip enhancement have advanced to the point where almost everything is reversible and the risk of allergic reaction, especially for injectables, is almost zero. We spoke to a dermatologist and surgeon to get all the details on lip augmentation for those considering it. Temporary lip fillers are the best option for those new to the plumbing process, so we have focused our explainer exclusively on that approach unless noted otherwise.

Generally, years back, most people inject the hyaluronic acid compound and those consist of brand names like Juvederm,  Restylane, Restylane silk or Belotero- there are tons out there but those are the big ones right now. Juvederm Ultra Plus because it’s smooth and predictable.  Hyaluronic acids have a gel-like quality to them and fill in deficient volume in the lips. They are natural and very safe .You can use Juvederm for volume and restylane silk to add structure, especially for older patients who want more definition on the lining of the lip or vermilion border. It’s called a lipstick in a syringe, so that when injected into the lip itself it will not necessarily make the lips fuller, but it will make the lips very  smooth.

The body breaks down the acids slowly over time. Many patients usually come back to see from five to six months after their last treatment, but it can be as early as three depending on your body. However, injectables in the lining last longer over time because the body is spurred to increase collagen production, while volume injections in the body of the lip don’t have a cumulative affect.

Your Lips Can Return To Normal If You Want To Stop The Lip Filler

The Exceptional Beauty In Nude Lippie

Nude lippie are just timeless. I have written a huge amount on red lippie foe a while, so people often assume I’ll be scornful of a more restrained look. The truth is, I adore nudes and wear them a good deal more often. I’m fussy about the terminology, however: a nude lippie should be any colour skin skin or lips could conceivably be, not the generic beige of Caucasian support stocking. A muted beigey-rose is my default daytime lipstick shade , because it goes with any eye look and is always smart and appropriate.

Below are 3 Cute Nude Lippie Shade

For an Asian skin tone, a great colour to opt for is a honey tone. Sometimes a peach can wash you out, however a honey colour really adds warmth to the complexion and still gives the nude effect to the lip.

Matte Nude Lippie

 Matte Nude Lippie

One of the chicest, subtle yet sexy ways to do the nude lippie look is with a matte nude lip. It draws attention to the centre to your face, and works so well with a bold eye makeup look. You can glow with a loving Tom Ford’s Lipstick in Blush Nude to create a gorgeous, nude matte finish

How Nude Lippie Should Look

 How Nude Lippie Should Look

 

Nude needn’t be realistic or demure: in a slightly paler tone than your own lips, they’re sexy. Nude lippie is amongst my most worn  lipsticks and looks particularly good with smoky shadow and dramatic lashes. It’s one of those pale 1960’s sex kitten nudes, but not one that’s so washed out that you appear either consumptive or dressed as Dusty Springfield. It also comes in a liner that matches perfectly and can be worn around almost any lipstick to define or enlarge the lips. One side of my mouth is lower than the other. I always correct with it.

There’s no denying our love for nude lippie. We’ve got shades stashed in every corner of our lives purses, desk drawers, cars and likely even a pants pocket or two. And there’s no committing to just one shade, either; each occasion calls for its own carefully selected shade. We reach for red for a glam night out, orange when we want to spice it up, plum when we’re feeling vampy. But if we could prescribe one shade that should be in every woman’s arsenal, it wold be the perfect natural

Guide on How Good A Nude Lipstick Can Be

Nude lipstick is an interesting conundrum in the world of beauty. Sure it’s a makeup-kit staple, but what exactly constitute nude? Some women believe it’s meant to be a shade similar to our skin tone, while others define it simply as a neutral. The reality, according to global colour ambassador, is that there’s no one definition of nude, despite what many articles would have you believe. When you think of nude lipstick, you tend to think of Kim Kardashian about two years ago, she’d wear an opaque, nude lip. I think  we’ve evolved from that, actually. We’re going cooler and trendier. However, there is no true nude for every skin tone. There could be 20 or 30 shades that fit into the category of nude lipstick for you, because nude means something different for every person.

Moreover, women should have a wardrobe of nudes. One might be pinkish while the other might be brown. So, it’s time to start rethinking the nude lipstick thing and start shopping. But,where to even start? Put a swipe of the shade you’re considering on the back of your hand, go to a natural light source, and pick the one that has the least amount of gray in it, you have got to take the colour of your lips into consideration, as that will affect the way your shade reads.

Don’t Look For nude lipstick That Matches Your Skin Tone

Furthermore, there is one big misconception we’ve got to clear up right now, though: you are not looking for a flesh-toned shade that matches your actual skin tone. What you want is something that’s synched up with your natural lip colour and complements your skin tone – hence the not making your skin look gray.

3 Causes Of Itchy And Dread Drandruff

Are you sick and tired of Dread Dandruff ? Worry not, we’ve all been there with all the different causes to your dread Dandruff we know how it feels like an endless battle. In this article we’ll cover causes of itchy Dread Dandruff. What is Dandruff? Dandruff is a waxy, flaxy shedding of skin and oil from the scalp that is mainly caused by an overreaction to yeast found on the skin. This overreaction leads to an overproduction of the oils causing irritation and oily, waxy flakes. Many people think Dreadlock Dandruff is solely caused by a dry scalp but that’s not the case at all. In fact using too much product on your scalp can suffocate your scalp and lead to other dandruff issues!

Below Are 3 Causes Of Itchy And Dread Dandruff

Yeast Overgrowth Causes Dread Dandruff

 Yeast Overgrowth Causes Dread Dandruff

Malassezia is a naturally occurring microbe that feeds on the natural oils (sebum) of the scalp. It’s important to clarify that sebum in general is not the enemy and not the issue you want to attack. The yeast that feeds on the sebum is the enemy and the overproduction of Sebum simply makes matters worse. However, a balanced production of Sebum will give you a healthy and well balanced moisturized scalp naturally. This is why ingredients like sodium Lauryl Sulfates in shampoos have been under scrutiny, powerful ingredients like SLS removes far too much sebum from the scalp overcompensating and producing even more Sebum in a short amount of time. This leads to overuse of shampoo and dread dandruff issues if you stop using it abruptly locking you into the vicious shampoo cycle.

Furthermore, Dandruff can potentially lead to hair loss because the sebum is excreted through the same pore that the hair is contained in. When sebum is overproduced and not removed from the pore it can lead to inflammation and scarring, which can lead to Sebum buildup in dreadlocks that we see all too often.

Sebum Buildup Causes Dread Dandruff

 Sebum Buildup Causes Dread Dandruff

It’s also important understand what sebum is for the sake of this article since Sebum and Dandruff go hand in hand. Sebum production is a process that helps moisturize the hair and skin naturally. The Sebum then combines with dead skin cells, sweat, and dirt. An effective shampoo will effectively bind with this mixture and remove it when you wash the shampoo out. Sebum over production can be caused by many factors, namely; digestion, stress, and hormones in your body. Controlling any overproduction of sebum will help to reduce the yeast buildup which will help reduce dread Dandruff.

Oleic Acid Sensitivity Can Cause Dread Dandruff

 Oleic Acid Sensitivity Can Cause Dread Dandruff

The yeast that feeds off the sebum then produces oleic acid as a waste byproduct. The oleic acid then causes more skin cells to flake off resulting in added flakiness of your scalp. Therefore, an overproduction or sensitivity to oleic acid will likely result in Dread Dandruff . This is the final and main contributor of dandruff because approximately 50% of the population is sensitive to oleic acid.

Many cosmetics companies make entire skin care “systems” that can run hundreds of dollars. And in many cases, what you’re really paying for is fancy packaging. Furthermore, whether you’re battling flaky dry skin, wrinkles or post-adolescent acne, it’s better to put the costly ointments back on the shelf, and spend that money elsewhere-on a quality diet. The best way to get soft, healthy skin, skin glow especially in these winter months when dry, cold, windy weather can really wreak havoc with it, it is to nourish it from the inside out.
