It is present in large quantities in younger skin, which explains why it looks firm and plump. keep the skin firm and plump. As we age, the production of HA diminishes and the skin becomes saggy with visible wrinkles and fine lines. Thanks to its ability to store moisture and its compatibility with the human body, doctors use HA dermal fillers such as Restylane to plump up the skin to give it a hydrated look.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2 class=&#34;legend_title&#34;&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;#2 Choose a doctor wisely&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Essentially, dermal fillers refer to the product used for facial rejuvenation. However, a good product can be ineffective, even dangerous, if it falls into the hands of an inexperienced injector.&#160;Find an experienced doctor&#160;&#60;strong&#62;whose work you like and who has the same beauty philosophy as you&#60;/strong&#62;. Always&#160;&#60;strong&#62;ask for some before-and-after photos&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;of their work during the consultation.

If you are paying anything less than that, it ought to be a red flag.&#160;In general,&#160;&#60;strong&#62;expect to fork out about $800 to $1,100&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;for a decent dermal filler treatment performed by a reputable, experienced doctor.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2 class=&#34;legend_title&#34;&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;#4 Regular sessions give you lasting results&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;One of the reasons why&#160;&#60;a href=&#34;https://radium-aesthetics.com/treatment/liquid-facelift-dermal-fillers/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;dermal filler treatments&#60;/a&#62;&#160;are&#160;gaining popularity is because of its unique capability to&#160;&#60;strong&#62;add volume and decrease wrinkles&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;at the same time.&#160;If performed well by an experienced doctor, it can provide deep rejuvenation to the skin and stimulate collagen production, leading to a younger-looking skin in the long run.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2 class=&#34;legend_title&#34;&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;#5 It should look natural&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Undergoing dermal filler treatment can be addictive because you see immediate, visible results - but make sure you don&#8217;t become obsessed with it.&#160;A good treatment should leave your skin looking and feeling soft and supple. Unfortunately,&#60;strong&#62;&#160;many women run the risk of overfilling their faces.&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;This is especially so for clinics where doctors charge low unit prices, which means they tend to recommend higher doses (or profit reasons). Always remember - a natural-looking, rejuvenated face should be your goal.&#160;Do not overfill your face!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2 class=&#34;legend_title&#34;&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;#6 Good News: A bad filler job can be reversed&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;If you are unhappy with the outcome of the dermal filler treatment, don&#8217;t worry. In most cases,&#160;&#60;strong&#62;it can be reversed with an enzyme to dissolve the HA filler&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;that is injected into the face. Sometimes, a bad job can also be rectified by balancing it out with more dermal fillers.&#160;However,&#160;&#60;strong&#62;most&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://radium-aesthetics.com/collagen-fillers-hyaluronic-acid-dermal-fillers-different/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;strong&#62;collagen dermal fillers&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#160;cannot be reversed.&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;If you are unfamiliar with the doctor&#8217;s skills, it is best to stick with HA fillers first.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2 class=&#34;legend_title&#34;&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;#7 Dermal fillers come with side effects&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Even though most dermal fillers are made of HA, you&#039;re still injecting a foreign substance into your body. Although side effects are usually not serious or common, they can still happen. The&#160;&#60;strong&#62;most common side effects you may see are bruising or bleeding at the site of the injection.&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;Find out from your doctor what blood-thinning food or medication you need to avoid before the treatment so that the bleeding and bruising will not be excessive.&#160;Fret not; most side effects should subside in about 3-4 days, however.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;This post is brought to you by Radium Medical Aesthetics.&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://radium-aesthetics.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;em&#62;Radium Medical Aesthetics&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;em&#62; offers a wide range of dermal filler treatments using HA and synthetic compounds.

		Tea addicts, you might want to put your cuppa down before reading this. <media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>												
								<content:encoded><![CDATA[&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-313529&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; itemprop=&#34;thumbnailUrl&#34; class=&#34;alignleft wp-image-313529 img-responsive  size-large&#34; src=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/05/gettyimages-748492635-1024x683.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;1024&#34; height=&#34;683&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;                   &#60;p&#62;You might want to put your cuppa down for this piece of shocking news. We are all aware that &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/medical-news/coffee-cancer-could-drinking-your-coffee-hot-in-the-morning-cause-cancer-307160.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;coffee&#60;/a&#62; stains our teeth and causes yellow discolouration. Because of this, some of us have switched over to tea but we&#8217;re sorry to tell you that drinking tea can still stain your teeth, maybe even worse than coffee.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;With tea containing tannins and our tooth enamels being naturally porous, our teeth tend to absorb the tannins, causing stains and discolouration. The dark pigments in tea can also settle into the ridges of our enamel resulting in yellow teeth.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Tea contains compounds such as theaflavins, thearubigins and thebrownins, which are even more concentrated in stronger brews. These compounds create a&#160;plaque buildup, turning your gorgeous smile yellow.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The bad news doesn&#8217;t stop there. If you think you can avoid stained teeth by sipping on the popular healthy brew, &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/medical-news/could-drinking-too-much-green-tea-affect-your-ability-to-have-kids-144070.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;green tea&#60;/a&#62;, think again. Unfortunately for green tea lovers, this blend actually contains the highest amount of tannins. Maybe we&#8217;ll just stick to water.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Don&#8217;t let this news put you off drinking tea just yet. Achieving &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/pearly-whites-7-dentist-approved-home-whitening-products-300752.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;pearly whites&#60;/a&#62; is still possible while sipping on a cup of tea. Having good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day and going for regular dental checkups can maintain a shining smile.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Shona Menon&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo: Getty Images&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/5-natural-ways-to-whiten-your-teeth-169445.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;Perfectly Polished: 5 Natural ways to whiten your teeth&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/healthy-practices/wellbeing-tips/healthy-snack-use-fruits-natural-teeth-whitener-126706.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;More Than A Healthy Snack: Use fruits as a natural teeth whitener&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/medical-news/quelle-la-meilleure-facon-de-se-brosser-les-dents-37669.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;What is the best way to brush your teeth?&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/the-killer-question-hk/drinking-tea-stain-teeth-coffee-332726.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/the-killer-question-hk/drinking-tea-stain-teeth-coffee-332726.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

I mean, do our armpits, legs and arms really need hair? Whatever&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/healthy-practices/wellbeing-tips/shower-morning-or-night-250391.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; scientific explanations&#60;/a&#62; you might have for this, we don&#039;t want to hear it. The only thing we want to hear is how to get rid them most effectively and painlessly.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;We&#039;re all familiar with the same few faces in the hair removal scene - waxing, plucking and shaving. But, hold up, we&#039;ve got a new kid on the block: sugaring. Promising to be gentle on your skin while still getting the job done, this groundbreaking hair removal method is getting all the hype. We promise you&#039;ll be stroking your legs in disbelief for a good minute after you&#039;ve tried out this technique. Excited to find out more? Well, you&#039;re in for a &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/french-desserts-kuala-lumpur-228753.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;sweet treat&#60;/a&#62; because we&#039;re here to spill every last detail about it!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#039;Sugaring&#039;: What is it?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-313337&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;alignnone size-medium wp-image-313337 img-responsive &#34; src=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/05/gettyimages-159637642-600x600.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;600&#34; height=&#34;600&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;An ancient technique widely practiced in Greece and the Middle East, sugaring involves the use of a gel-like paste made from sugar,&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/natural-healing/alternative-medicine/surprising-health-benefits-lemongrass-201040.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; lemon&#60;/a&#62; juice and hot water to remove hair strands from their roots. The typical procedure will involve the beautician spreading an even layer of the paste onto your skin in the opposite direction the hair growth. After letting it sit and harden slightly for a few seconds, the paste will be flicked back in repeated motions to extract the hairs from their roots.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;Why women swear by it&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;The real question is - what&#039;s not? &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/hair/natural-colour-6-find-home-products-can-colour-hair-301014.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;All-natural and free of any chemicals&#60;/a&#62;, this waxing method is hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin types. Even the process of sugaring is extremely gentle on the skin as the paste binds only to the hair and not the skin. Don&#039;t expect to see any searing red patches or minor cuts left behind, which are what you would generally get from waxing or shaving. The best part? This method has lasting effects. Your hair will grow slower and softer. Beauticians have attested to the fact that regular sugaring treatments will result in your hair growing thinner and softer, till they&#039;re almost invisible! Sounds too good to be true, right? But, it is.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;Is it painful?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;Now, there&#039;s no such thing as pain-free hair removal. I mean, you&#039;re basically detaching a hair from its root, there&#039;s bound to be some discomfort. Thankfully, sugaring promises to be substantially less painful than waxing or plucking. If you&#039;re rather sensitive to pain when it comes to hair removal, sugaring is your new best pal.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;Where you can get sugared in Singapore&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;Itching to try out this sweet treatment? You&#039;ll be glad to know that Singapore has its very own sugaring salon, Sugar(ed)!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Lim Han&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photos: Getty Images&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Read More:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a title=&#34;&#34; href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/hair-today-gone-tomorrow-hair-removal-101-81322.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Hair Removal 101: Which method should you use?&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a title=&#34;&#34; href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/5-147758.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;5 Things to know before booking that waxing appointment&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a title=&#34;&#34; href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/the-killer-question/best-way-remove-eyebrows-236428.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Threading, Tweezing, Waxing: What&#8217;s the best way to deal with your eyebrows?&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/beauty-tips-and-tricks-hk/hair-removal-sugaring-332732.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/beauty-tips-and-tricks-hk/hair-removal-sugaring-332732.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

Suffering from dry ends? Apply coconut oil. Got flaky elbows? Apply coconut oil. Having relationship problems? Slather that oil on.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The coconut oil hype has been around for some time and there are beauty experts that swear by it but should we really be incorporating this oil into our beauty regime? Unfortunately, there&#8217;s no easy answer to this.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;THE GOOD&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Don&#8217;t get us wrong, this &#039;miracle&#039; oil is full of antioxidants and &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/guide-to-the-best-beauty-vitamins-for-your-skin-161022.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;vitamins&#60;/a&#62;, which are great to fight premature ageing and keep your skin hydrated. The nature of their small molecules allows the oil to be absorbed quickly for that boost of hydration.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;... AND THE BAD&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Despite all these amazing properties, coconut oil also has its downsides. This oil is highly comedogenic, which means it leaves a film over your skin, thus clogging your pores and causing breakouts.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;It is most commonly known to be used as a makeup remover because of its amazing abilities to melt makeup easily. If you do still use it as a remover, it&#8217;s better to thoroughly rinse your face after to prevent clogged pores. However, we recommend keeping it away from your face entirely. Instead, use it to remover your eye makeup only, as there are no oil glands on your peepers.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;ARE THERE OTHER OPTIONS?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;If you&#039;re into natural oils in your skincare routine, don&#039;t fret as there are other options that are much gentler on the skin compared to coconut oil. Rosehip oil, jojoba oil, and &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/healthy-practices/health-benefits-argan-oil-21959.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;argan oil&#60;/a&#62; are some less comedogenic oils that will not clog your pores.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;IS IT FOR YOU?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;If you&#8217;re still confused whether you should be using coconut oil on your face, it all depends on your skin type. If you have oily, acne-prone skin, stay away from it altogether. For &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/bye-bye-dry-skin-10-products-to-try-for-smoother-looking-skin-152839.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;dry skin&#60;/a&#62; types, it can be used as a makeup remover as long as you cleanse your face after but never use it as a moisturiser replacement.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Shona Menon&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo: Getty Images&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/natural-healing/alternative-medicine/is-it-safe-to-use-coconut-oil-on-your-vagina-307627.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;If You&#039;re Wondering: Is it safe to use coconut oil on your vagina?&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/healthy-practices/wellbeing-tips/benefits-coconut-oil-health-beauty-200338.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;Nature&#039;s Solutions: The multiple beauty benefits of coconut oil&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/beauty-news/bizarre-skincare-crocodile-oil-next-big-skincare-trend-137478.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;Bizarre Beauty: Is crocodile oil the next skincare trend?&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/the-killer-question-hk/applying-coconut-oil-face-332755.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/the-killer-question-hk/applying-coconut-oil-face-332755.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		Celebrity makeup artist Sir John is responsible for some of Beyonce's, Priyanka Chopra's and Jourdan Dunn's best beauty looks. Here's how he creates the perfect flawless base for South Asian skin.<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>

On the other hand, matching it to the lower half of your face will leave your upper half looking really ashy. Which is basically every brown girl&#039;s Achilles heel.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Which is why when Sir John, a.k.a. Beyonce&#039;s celebrity makeup artist, shared how &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/what-is-multi-priming-why-it-works-307454.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;creates the perfect base&#60;/a&#62; for South Asian skin, our ears perked up. After all, if there&#039;s anything he knows, it&#039;s how to make brown skin looking deliciously healthy, bronzey and glowy. In short, Beyonce-worthy. (He&#039;s also done the likes of Priyanka Chopra, Jourdan Dunn, and more.)&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;According to Sir John, the secret to finding the perfect foundation match for your skin is to &#60;strong&#62;actually buy a foundation to match your forehead and the rest of your face each&#60;/strong&#62;. Apply the deeper shade to the darker perimeters of your forehead, and the lighter one to match the rest of your face.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Granted, it&#039;s not the most budget-friendly makeup tip, but with excellent drugstore foundations available today, there are certainly ways to go around it. And hey, it certainly promises you the perfect face of foundation - which saves us from the eternal struggle of finding the ideal shade for our complexion.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;So if you&#039;ve ever wondered how Priyanka and Beyonce never look patchy on the red carpet despite the blinding camera flashes, this is how. We&#039;re definitely taking pointers.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo: Getty Images&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Read More:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/asia-style/south-asian-models-to-watch-287219.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Meet the 8 stunning South Asian models to look out for in 2018&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/nipple-nude-lipstick-asian-skin-281319.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;The #1 Unconventional tip to finding the perfect nude lip for Asian complexions&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/makeup/10-dewy-highlighters-perfect-for-mature-skin-301836.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Natural Glow: 10 Dewy highlighters we love on mature skin&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;   &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/beauty-tips-and-tricks-hk/1-foundation-tip-south-asian-skin-according-beyonces-makeup-artist-332761.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/beauty-tips-and-tricks-hk/1-foundation-tip-south-asian-skin-according-beyonces-makeup-artist-332761.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

Even celebrities like Mandy Moore, who candidly documented her entire cryotherapy chamber experience, swear by it.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;But what is Cryotherapy?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;If you&#039;re new to cryotherapy, here&#039;s a quick rundown: it is essentially the process of using cold temperatures for health and beauty benefits.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;It&#039;s not a new practice either. This form of therapy has been around as early as the 1700s to ease pain, slow cell aging, improve skin recovery, reduce inflammation, and even burn calories. Which makes it only natural that &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/j-beauty-guide-10-cult-japanese-beauty-brands-you-can-find-in-singapore-309679.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;beauty brands&#60;/a&#62; are riding on the trend for its&#160;beauty benefits.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;The New Anti-aging Wonder?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;According to&#60;strong&#62; IDS Aesthetics&#60;/strong&#62; (the medispa arm of renowned Singapore-based beauty brand IDS), cryotherapy can slow down &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/surprising-causes-aging-skin-212634.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;your skin&#039;s &#60;/a&#62;ageing&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/surprising-causes-aging-skin-212634.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; process&#60;/a&#62; and restore that coveted youthful glow. Here&#039;s the science behind it: the cold temperature aids in boosting the oxygen and nutrient supply to the skin&#039;s surface, thereby stimulating the&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/the-top-4-common-myths-about-collagen-debunked-123197.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; collagen and elastin production.&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;I&#039;ve tried the abovementioned Kate Somerville serum,&#160;which really did leave my skin feeling firmer, and was curious to see if it would actually work in a facial. So, as with all things hype-y in beauty, I decided to give the cryotherapy facial a go.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Here&#039;s How My Cryotherapy Facial Went&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;IDS Aesthetic offers two cryotherapy treatments: the Soothing Saviour and Crystal Clear. I tried the latter, also known as the IDS Light Cryo Treatment (SGD280 for 45 minutes), which is designed to &#60;strong&#62;tone, brighten and restore your skin&#039;s firmness.&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;In short, everything you want out of a facial.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The cryotherapy facial consists of a total of 8 steps: it starts with a &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/double-cleansing-133675.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;strong&#62;double cleanse&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/a&#62;, &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/say-hello-younger-looking-skin-microdermabrasion-126395.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;strong&#62;microdermabrasion&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/a&#62;, and &#60;strong&#62;IPL therapy &#60;/strong&#62;to truly cleanse and get your skin ready for the&#160;&#60;strong&#62;actual cryotherapy treatment &#60;/strong&#62;(pictured below). After which,&#160;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/oil-free-serums-256284.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;a &#60;strong&#62;serum infusion&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/a&#62;,&#160;&#60;strong&#62;face mask,&#60;/strong&#62; and a&#160;refreshing layer of moisturiser and sunscreen are then applied to the skin to lock all the goodness in.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-311488&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;alignnone wp-image-311488 img-responsive  size-large&#34; src=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/05/ids-aesthetics-treatment-4-1024x681.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;1024&#34; height=&#34;681&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;But let&#039;s jump right into the actual cryotherapy: the cryotherapy technology used here uses a temperature of -15 degree Celsius to&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/skin-firming-lift-tighten-tone-face-206506.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; tone your skin and restore its firmness.&#60;/a&#62; And in case you were wondering, it doesn&#039;t actually feel like you&#039;re uncomfortably freezing your face at all. I&#039;m not a fan of freezing temperatures (particularly not on my face)&#160;and found the session to not bother me at all.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The serum infusion which follows the cryotherapy technology is also delightfully tech-y. Using an ultrasonic technology, active ingredients (such as resveratrol, arbutin, &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/healthy-practices/wellbeing-tips/all-about-vitamins-194123.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;vitamin C&#60;/a&#62; and multi-peptides) are penetrated into your skin. Through a mild electrical current, all these skin-loving active ingredients are driven right into the deeper layers of your skin for maximum absorption.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The&#160;entire facial, which took about 45-minutes, was perfectly timed. And despite its various steps, it felt comfortable, relaxing and delightfully spa-like.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;So, Was It Worth It?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;The verdict? &#60;strong&#62;My skin actually looked brighter, firmer and my complexion looked distinctly more even.&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;(And mind you, I rolled into the spa on not the best of skin days.) Also, I did notice that &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/makeup/beauty-tips-7-foundations-pore-minimising-296679.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;my skin look less textured,&#60;/a&#62;&#160;although the cryotherapy treatment does not claim to reduce your pore size.&#160; I can&#039;t vouch for the science behind it, but I&#039;m assuming that the skin-tightening power of cryotherapy does tighten your pores as well. Win-win.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Needless to say, I was pretty happy with my facial post-treatment. But if you&#039;re like me, you&#039;re probably genuinely wondering if these facials actually promise sustainable results. I mean, from experience, most facials leave your skin in better shape immediately after you set foot out of the spa. But it&#039;s skin-loving effects are sometimes shortlived.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;So did it last? It certainly felt so. It got my skin date-night-ready that same weekend; plus my complexion felt and looked distinctly better &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/10-affordable-rooftop-bars-in-london-308022.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;during my London trip&#60;/a&#62; the following week (and all the intense Instagramming I was guilty of.)&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;So, here are my concluding thoughts: if you need a quick fix before a major event or want facial results that deliver instant, yet sustainable results, the Cryotherapy Treatments at IDS are certainly worth a buck. And hey, with &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/mothers-day-2018-dining-guide-311385.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Mother&#039;s Day coming up&#60;/a&#62;, it&#039;ll make for a perfect pamper session for the madre as well.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;IDS Aesthetics is located at Novena Specialist Center, 8 Sinaran Drive #05-07 Singapore 307470.

(We can vouch for this.)&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Which is unsurprising that beauty brands have jumped on the bandwagon and whipped up skincare formulas infused with the purported health benefits of these fragrant oils.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/how-to-use-essential-oils-204064.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Essential oils&#60;/a&#62; are, essentially, concentrated essences of a plant, according to the &#60;em&#62;Los Angeles Times&#60;/em&#62;. And contrary to what you might think, the &#34;essential&#34; part of its name stems from the essence - not the fact that it&#039;s actually essential to your life and sustenance.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;However, while its &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/natural-healing/aromatherapy/aromatherapy-products-sleep-229037.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;aromatherapeutic benefits&#60;/a&#62; are numerous, the same cannot be said for its benefits when applied topically on your skin. According to the Mayo Clinic, &#34;side effects (of essential oils) may include allergic reactions, skin irritation, &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/could-you-be-allergic-to-sunlight-210076.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;and sun sensitivity&#60;/a&#62;. The gravity of its effects varies from oil to oil, and how each individual use it.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Paula&#039;s Choice actually identifies essential oils as a major skin irritant to avoid. In fact, citrusy oils like bergamot, lemon, lime, and orange can cause phototoxicity&#160;(i.e. skin cancer or severe burns) on the skin, particularly when exposed to the sun after application, according to a study by the University of Minnesota.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;That is not to say the beauty universe should start demonising&#160;essential oils. After all, oils like lavender scents are arguably every urban dweller&#039;s quick fix to a sound sleep at night. Just be sure not to slather your face with it and rest assured, your visage will be happy and irritant-free!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Read More:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/healthy-practices/wellbeing-tips/9-therapeutic-house-plants-boost-health-happiness-intelligence-288572.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;9 Therapeutic house plants proven to boost health, happiness &#38;amp; brain power&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/lifelove/coaching-lifelove/psychology/happiest-stage-of-marriage-310638.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;This is the happiest stage in your marriage, new study discovers&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/medical-news/placebo-sleep-how-tricking-your-brain-that-youve-slept-well-can-help-you-focus-better-308646.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#8216;Placebo Sleep&#8217;: Can believing you&#8217;ve slept well boost your focus?&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/the-killer-question-hk/311114-332797.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/the-killer-question-hk/311114-332797.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

Hair detox simply means getting rid of toxins and harmful chemicals from your hair in order to rejuvenate it. That&#8217;s right &#8211; it&#8217;s pretty much similar to the one that &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/on-my-plate/myth-detox-101624.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;you do to your body&#60;/a&#62;, except in this case, we&#8217;re getting rid of things like &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/hair/natural-colour-6-find-home-products-can-colour-hair-301014.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;hair dyes&#60;/a&#62; and irons.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Now, this is crucial so that these toxins don&#8217;t accumulate in your hair. The buildup of toxins in your tresses will only continue to strip your hair of its natural protective oils and nutrients. And the result? Dry, dull and unhealthy locks.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;If you&#039;re considering going on one to&#160;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/damage-control-care-bleached-hair-103993.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;reclaim your healthy tresses&#60;/a&#62;, here are the 5 things to avoid if you want to detox your hair.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Thamayanthy&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photos: Getty Images&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/hair/best-sulfate-free-shampoos-224648.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Gentle Care: 10 Best sulfate-free shampoos that won&#039;t dry your hair out&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/essential-hair-care-tips-218617.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Luscious Locks: 10 Essential hair care tips for healthy hair growth&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/hair-accessories-bad-260019.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Damage Control: 10 Hair accessories you should really stop using&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/beauty-tips-and-tricks-hk/things-to-avoid-if-you-want-to-detox-your-hair-332881.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/beauty-hk/beauty-sos-hk/beauty-tips-and-tricks-hk/things-to-avoid-if-you-want-to-detox-your-hair-332881.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>
