As many of you have noticed, I have had a small hiatus from blogging. It is not because I don't want to blog, but it is just I have not had much time over the recent weeks/months. A lot of factors in my personal life have come between me and the blog. So, I'm here to fill you in on what has been going on since you last heard from me.

Micro needling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CTI), and percutaneous collagen induction (PCI), is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. Through the process of neovascularization and neocollagenesis, there is improvement in skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles.

Nobody said that growing up would be easy, and taking care of our skin is not any easier. We have acne, blackheads, oily skin, just to top the list of our teenager's skin complaints. To keep their skin healthy and glowing, there is some advice that we should all follow. Hormonal surges lead to enlargement of oil glands, making teen skin oily and creating large pores and blackheads. Even though you and your friends are going through puberty together, chances are your skin is looking and feeling a bit different from your BFF's. That means the skin tip that works for her might not work for you. Fortunately, you can easily find the right skin advice to choose from to keep your skin clear.

Are you a teen in need of skin care tips? Then you have come to the right place. Be gentle with your skin. The problem is that many teens falsely believe the stronger the product, the cleaner and clearing the skin will be. This is not true in the least bit. As a teen, we have more skin problems, and our skin is more resilient, but harsher products may be doing more harm than good. If a teen is suffering from acne or various skin irritations. We must introduce our teens to gentle products and the proper cleansing techniques. Proper skin care products for your skin conditions and proper cleansing techniques will result in great skin care routine for years to come.

As a teen we start to see our skin changing, amongst other bodily changes. With these changes, comes more responsibilities and learning take care of ourselves differently. It takes years for damage to show up on the surface of your skin, therefore it is important to start learning, and practicing, a healthy skin care routine early. According to the International Dermal Institute, teens are unaware that they may be doing serious damage to their skin. If you want to keep your skin glowing for years down the road, we need to start doing things differently to ensure that it does.

April not only kicks off the Spring season, but also prom and the season filled with shrieks and cries from girls who are excited to get all dressed up and have fun. All the girls getting together to go find their dresses and help each other find the right one. Having Pinterest Parties to get ideas for hair and makeup. Did you make your appointment for hair and makeup? You do not want the DIY hair and makeup and find that you wished you hired a hair and makeup artist, when you get those pictures back and see that your face look shiny or you hair looks like it always does, but maybe curls, do you? If you are thinking of hiring a hair and makeup artist, you will need to plan at least 2 months in advance, as many artists get booked a year out from referrals from previous years prom girls. As for brides, plan 4 to 6 months prior to your wedding date for the same reason, referrals from previous years brides and bridesmaids.

Everyone heard about Hugh Jackman and him urging people to wear sunscreen after he has had several growths removed. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer that develops on skin exposed to the sun, such as the head, neck, and back of hands, but is especially common on the face and nose. I see way more sun damaged skin here, than I ever did when I lived and worked in Florida. I do not know why, as it is sunny and warm all year round, but I do not know that most wear sunscreen to protect them from the harmful rays of the sun. However, if you are still trying to get in somewhat of a tan before spring break, and during the winter months, then the best option is airbrush tanning. You will still need to wear that sunscreen while you are out in the sun on spring break, as this tan will not prevent you from still burning, or protect you from those harmful rays.
