Dehydrated Skin When our skin is dehydrated, it tends to be dry and flaky, creating an uneven canvas for makeup application. Foundation and concealer may settle into fine lines and creases. Dehydrated skin lacks moisture, causing makeup products like foundation, blush, and eyeshadow to evaporate and fade more quickly. Additionally, dry skin may produce excess oil as a compensatory mechanism, leading to smudging and transferring of makeup throughout the day. Adequate hydration helps to maintain the integrity of makeup products, ensuring they stay in place and remain vibrant throughout the day. How do you fix it? 1. SPF like your life depends on it. Sun makes water evaporate & destroys the skins barrier! 2. BARRIER SUPPORTIVE SKINCARE. Look for ingredients like ceramides, glycerin, niacinamide, panthenol. Or products called ‘skin barrier healthy/boosting etc’ 3. REGULAR SKIN BOOSTERS (profhilo/exosomes)

The perfect peel Repeat after me. Peels DO NOT THIN THE SKIN. They THICKEN THE SKIN. They take away the layers that are dead, but the real healthy skin thats bouncy & youthful thickens!! 👉🏽 When you put acids on your skin two events take place: 1. Removal of dead skin that carries pigmentation 2. Stimulation of collagen It can slow down the skin’s aging process, prevent wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, redness/ blotchy skin. It has: - Glutathione - a superstar at brightening & evening out the skins complexion - Kojic Acid is a powerful lightening agent and proven to increase collagen and elastin production, resulting in skin that is brighter and tighter. - TCA, Phenol and Retinoic Acid reduce wrinkles and correct pigment problems. - Salicylic Acid exfoliates the skin and reduces inflammation. #fyp #skinpeels #chemicalpeels #removedeadskin #bouncyskin #renewskin #chemicalpeeljourney #skintreatment

Share with your friends to educate them too! My Harmony fam will know i am ALWAYS going on about the importance of muscular movement as the first line in treatment for anything aged or droop related. Remember when your mum used to say, ‘it takes more muscles to frown, so smile’ - well theres actually truth in that. The lower face of your face primarily pulls down, add to that gravity & saggy skin..its droopcity. This includes the undereyes too! The skin around the eyes is pulled down the same way. Manage the pull & reduce how hollow the eyes look. Many people fear b-tox & i get it. It doesn’t always go to plan but what i struggle to understand is when people pick filler because of their fear of botox. 1. Muscles pull the face down, so believe me they can pull your filler down too 2. Worst case in fillers is, irreversible skin necrosis (meaning skin dies) worst case in botox is something droops which resolves after a few weeks… Again, no shade on filler. I still do it regularly, its just something that needs to be done appropriately. Also can someone just shake up my stupid imposter syndrome brain. People out here publishing studies on things i’ve been too scared to shout loud about because im convincing myself no one else is talking about it so surely i can’t be right … then next thing you know they’re actually studying it. Eugh. But hey, at least my harmony fam are enjoying the tox results 💕 #botox #juvederm #facelift #teartrough #darkcircles #teartroughfillers #undereyebags #botox #botulinumtoxin #botoxfacelift

I’m always asked about collagen, but honestly I’d pick fish oils anyday of the week. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, essential nutrients found in foods like fish, nuts, and seeds, are crucial for maintaining the health of every cell in your body, including skin cells. Their role in promoting skin health is well-documented in scientific literature. Multiple studies have revealed that omega-3 fatty acids possess anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the occurrence of acne and other skin concerns. Meanwhile, omega-6 fatty acids, particularly gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), have been shown to improve skin barrier function, hydration, and elasticity (Ziboh, V.A., et al., 2000, Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry). In contrast, the benefits of collagen supplements for skin health, while popular, are not as straightforward. Research published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology suggests that while collagen supplements can improve skin elasticity, the evidence supporting their efficacy is less consistent than that for omega-3 and omega-6 (Schwartz, S.R., & Park, J., 2012). Why Omega Fatty Acids May Be Superior to Collagen Supplements One of the critical advantages of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids over collagen supplements is their ability to combat inflammation and oxidative stress, two major culprits behind skin aging and damage. Omega fatty acids are integrated directly into cell membranes, enhancing the skin’s natural barriers against environmental damage and improving overall skin health from the inside out.Armed with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids offer a scientifically backed pathway to improving skin health that goes beyond the superficial benefits of collagen supplements. By addressing the root causes of skin aging and damage, these essential nutrients hold the key to unlocking a naturally radiant, healthier complexion. So your goal for this week? Stock up on fish oils! #collagen #collagenpeptides #collagensupplement #collagensupplement #collagenprotein #collagencream #collagenpeptide

The reason why the fractional CO2 laser technology is so loved is that no other laser can tighten the skin and refresh it quite like this. As you’re doing the treatment you can literally see the skin tighten! Fractional CO2 Laser delivers controlled energy pulses into the surface of the skin. The rapid and short bursts of controlled heat stimulates collagen and elastin production as well as a contraction and tightening effect in the dermis of the skin. The effects can take up to 8-12 weeks to see, and continue to improve for up to 12 months as the skin continues to create new collagen and elastin. The beauty of this treatment is the ability to super customise. If you choose a higher setting, there’s more downtime but equally more collagen. Downtime is can be anywhere between 1 day and 5 days depending on the strength of the laser. I literally feel my face looks firmer and brighter! One thing to note, the better your skin health is the more impressive the result. It’s like running a marathon, if you train for it you’re far better than if you randomly get up & run 25 miles (you’re probably going to hurt yourself if you do this!) so CO2 is best as part of a comprehensive treatment plan as opposed to a random one off. But I mean we’re Harmony right? We don’t do anything as a singular. Full Face Harmony® always. We don’t want you to look like someone else, so why take a generalised packaged approach? We want you, improved.
