A Few Tips for Smoother Skin

Everyone wants to have smoother and beautiful skin. 

What I'm going to tell you today is how to make your skin more smoother. 

 

SLEEP WELL!! 

There's no doubt about it. 

A number of reports have shown that lack of sleep results in a myriad of health problems.

You'd better try to sleep particularly between 10pm and 2am.

Getting enough sleep during the overnight hours helps your body product more human growth hormone, which helps skin retain its elasticity.

It MEANS you can be a beautiful woman by just sleeping well :)

 

The sun causes the most damage to our skin, so protecting the sunlight when you're outside is a top priority thing to do. Age spots, wrinkles, freckles, and skin that's rough or dry are all symptoms of too much sun.

Try to apply sun block cream every 2 hours. 

Wearing sun glasses and carrying a parasol are also good ways to protect your skin. 

Some people go for a sauna quite often for moisturizing their skin. 

BUT, there's saying "Too much is as bad as too little"

Don't go for a sauna frequently and stay in there too long. 

Your skin can be damaged and stimulated by hot and dry air in the sauna. 

Stretching your facial muscles regularly. 

Facial exercises like saying "a-e-i-o-u" promote a smooth and wrinkle free skin. 

As facial muscles loose firmness, the facial exercise helps in toning the facial muscles.

Facial exercises help in achieving anti aging, youthful, and wrinkle free face.

 

7 Easy Ways to Improve a Bad Day~

Here are 7 Easy Ways to Improve a Bad Day~

Don't let a bad morning ruin your entire day. Use these mental tricks to change your momentum. POSITIVE Thinking!!!!

Had a lousy morning? Things looking grim?

Not to worry. The rest of your day need not be a disaster. It can in fact become one of your best, providing you take these simple steps:

1. Remember that the past does not equal the future.

There is no such thing as a "run of bad luck." The reason people believe such nonsense is that the human brain creates patterns out of random events and remembers the events that fit the pattern.

2. Refuse to make self-fulfilling prophesies.

If you believe the rest of your day will be as challenging as what's already happened, then rest assured: You'll end up doing something (or saying) something that will make sure that your prediction comes true.

3. Get a sense of proportion.

Think about the big picture: Unless something life-changing has happened (like the death of a loved one), chances are that in two weeks, you'll have forgotten completely about whatever it was that has your shorts in a twist today.

4. Change your threshold for "good" and "bad."

Decide that a good day is any day that you're above ground. Similarly, decide that a bad day is when somebody steals your car and drives it into the ocean. Those types of definitions make it easy to be happy–and difficult to be sad.

5. Improve your body chemistry.

Your body and brain are in a feedback loop: A bad mood makes you tired, which makes your mood worse, and so forth. Interrupt the pattern by getting up and moving around. Take a walk or eat something healthy.

 

6. Focus on what's going well.

The primary reason you're convinced it's a bad day is that you're focusing on whatever went wrong. However, for everything going badly, there are probably dozens of things going well. Make list, and post it where it's visible.

7. Expect something wondrous.

Just as an attitude of doom and gloom makes you see more problems, facing the future with a sense of wonder makes you alive to all sorts of wonderful things that are going on, right now, everywhere around you.

지방흡입女 "또 살쪘다" 불만, 의사 답변이…

수술 부위는 잘 늘어나지 않지만, 내장 등 지방 증가 체중 늘수도

선생님, 지방흡입 하고 나서 체중이 늘어나면 어떻게 되나요? 수술한 부위가 다시 찌나요?’

비만치료를 위해 지방흡입 시술을 결정할때 가장 많이 받는 질문 중에 하나가 이겁니다.

의학적으로 설명을 드린다면, 성인기에는 지방세포가 더 이상 개수가 늘어나지는 않습니다. 단지 사이즈가 커지는 것이죠. 예를 들어 체중 50kg의 18세 여성의 전신 지방세포가 지름 1mm짜리 1000개가 있다면 이 사람이 30세에 체중이 80kg이 되었을 때 지방세포는 지름 15mm짜리 1000개가 된다는 뜻입니다.

만일 이 분이 다이어트를 해서 체중을 다시 50kg으로 줄였다면 지름 15mm짜리 지방세포 1000개가 다시 지름 1mm짜리 지방세포 1000개가 된다는 뜻이지요. 물론 체중이 다시 는다면 지방세포의 사이즈는 다시 커지겠죠.

지방흡입의 경우 지방세포를 제거해 버리는 것이기 때문에 지방흡입을 한 부위는 다시 잘 늘어나지 않습니다. 다이어트를 한 것과는 다르죠.

예를 들어 허벅지 지방흡입을 해서 허벅지 둘레를 10cm 줄였다고 한다면, 어느 정도 체중 변화에는 수술 한 부위가 다시 늘어나지 않습니다.

그러나 지방세포를 하나도 남기지 않고 완전히 제거하는 것은 아니기 때문에 체중이 극단적으로 많이 늘어난다면 어느 정도 다시 돌아갈 수도 있습니다.
하지만 지방흡입 후에 운동, 식이요법 등에 전혀 관심 없이 체중을 방치하는 경우 내장지방이 늘어난다는 연구가 최근 발표되어 소개하려고 합니다.

미국의 ‘임상내분비학-대사 저널(Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)’ 7월호에 실린 브라질 상 파울로 대학의 연구에 따르면 지방흡입을 한 여성을 두 그룹으로 나눠 한 그룹은 일주일에 3회 운동을 시키고, 다른 한 그룹은 운동 없이 지내게 했습니다.

6개월 후 운동한 그룹은 문제가 없었지만 운동하지 않은 그룹의 내장지방이 10% 정도 증가한다는 사실을 밝혔습니다. 단 수술한 부위의 지방은 변화가 없었다고 합니다.

결론적으로 볼 때 지방흡입을 한 부위는 수술의 목적을 유지할 수 있지만 전체적인 체중유지를 잘 하지 않는다면 내장지방이 늘어날 가능성이 높다는 것입니다. 지방흡입 후 체중관리가 중요하다는 것을 다시 한 번 확인시켜주는 연구결과 였습니다.

그러니 처음 질문을 다시 돌아가서……..

‘선생님, 지방흡입 후에 체중관리를 안 하면 어떻게 되나요?

‘수술 한 부위는 어느 정도 까지는 별 문제가 없겠지만, 체중이 늘어난다면 수술 안 한 다른 부위가 늘어날 거니까 조심하세요!’

People Start to Do Anti-ageing Skincare in Their Late 20s?!!

People Start to Do Anti-ageing Skincare in Their Late 20s?!!

A lot of women try to take better care of their skin due to prolonged hot and dry spell during summer season. Although people apply many types of cream on their skin, moisturizing does not always help to keep our skin soft, and even worse, people may have dry flaky skin. In fact, these conditions can lead to forming more wrinkles. It is inevitable, and almost impossible to naturally decrease the number of wrinkles as aging. So this is why people in their early twenties are so interested in anti-ageing even if we think they are young.

Anti-ageing has been highly recognized as a necessary treatment for those aged 30 or over. In fact, the process of skin aging starts at middle age around 25. The process and its effects are greatly influenced by environmental factors, for example, getting stressed when people work under pressure.

A twenty eight year old female said she’s been having Botox injection regularly to rejuvenate her appearance. While she’s working with many people, she found that someone looks older. Meanwhile, the other looks younger, they are the same age as her though. And she also mentioned “It was a good decision that I started to look after my appearance intensively and will take my time for quiet reflection and careful self-assessment as a good impression could be one of my competitive things of mine.

It is important to take good care of ourselves by learning about anti-aging and putting it into practice as soon as possible. As mentioned above, it is hard to decrease the number of wrinkles which you’ve already had by doing nothing. You’d better take some action in order to protect your skin against skin aging.

The natural aging process, also known as the beginning of the ageing process, is a continuous process that normally begins in our late-20s. Repetitive facial movements actually lead to fine lines and wrinkles. These could be permanently etched and difficult to avoid with unconscious awareness. So Botox may be the best option to halt the development of wrinkles because effects can be seen very shortly after the procedure. However, it does not last long so it is required to have the injection regularly.

Many people think that Botox injection is just one of cosmetic applications that targets for people in their 40s and 50s. According to latest trends, the patients’ average age is getting younger because Botox is effective in preventing development of deep wrinkle by paralyzing facial muscles.

It is simple and suitable for those who don’t have free time to have surgery but we should be aware of its side effects since some of beauty salons and dermatology clinics perform using some of Botox injections, which are not permitted to apply, without a license. For these reasons, he advised that patients get consulted with abundantly experienced doctors.
