How can I improved the dark circles under the eyes?

La apariencia de las ojeras tiene dos componentes: 

  1. La coloración oscura, la cual es dada por la tendencia racial a tener párpados inferiores oscuros y  los vasos sanguíneos que son visibles  debido a lo delgada que es la piel en esa zona.
  2. El hundimiento que aparece, cuando por tendencia genética o envejecimiento, se pierde un “colchón” de grasa  que se encuentra en el parpado inferior (pliegue infraorbitario). 

Ambos componentes deben ser tratados para ver una mejoría, el primero con peelings y usando contornos de ojos en casa,  y el segundo con un relleno de ácido hialurónico. 

 

How can I improve acne scars and spots ?

The first and most important step is to initiate a effective acne treatment. Acne has genetic, hormonal, and nutritional causes that must be resolved with topical treatments and oral medication. After the acne is controlled, the treatment for the spots can begin, which includes depigmenting treatment at home and procedures such as microdermabrasion and peelings, microneedling or lasers.

 

What are the basic components of a skin care routine?

An adequate skin care routine must be adapted to your age, type of skin and associated diseases (acne, rosacea, etc). Based on these characteristics, we will choose the particular products and brands. In general, every routine must have:

  1. A soft cleaning method (cleansing gels, syndets, micellar water).
  2. A sunscreen with an SPF 50+
  3. An antioxidant based product like vitamin C, phloretin, vitamin E, or niacinamide
  4. A product chosen for that particular skin characteristic that has to be improved ( spots, acne, prevention of aging, among others)
