Get clear skin through acne laser

“I spent most of my life locked in my bedroom, miserable about my raging acne. “
~ Moon Unit Zappa

Getting bugged by acne is not fun. In fact, it is very unsettling. Acne has significant effects on a person’s outlook in life. Social withdrawal, decreased self-esteem, reduced self-confidence, poor body image, and embarrassment, feelings of depression, anger, preoccupation, frustration, and higher rate of unemployment are the most common negative results among people with acne. These effects are interrelated, leading from one to another making the first effect worse. 1

Most initial attempt to combat acne is through antibiotics. However, either over the counter products or prescribed medicines, antibiotics have significant side effects. “People who used antibiotics for their acne, as compared to people who had acne who weren’t using antibiotics, were about twice as likely to develop an upper respiratory tract infection within a year’s period of time”~ David Margolis. And in most cases, antibiotics do not work.

For a long time acne was left without remedy. Luckily, technology has discovered treatment through acne laser. Acne laser is a method of acne treatment in which a green laser is introduced to the skin's surface. The laser functions to trigger the body's natural defenses against bacteria. The fact that acne laser treatment targets bacteria makes it an effective means of reducing current and future acne outbreaks. It is a well-established fact that bacteria are a significant contributor to acne lesions. 2

Celibre is one of the many dermatology clinics that offer acne laser. They focus on laser treatment depending on skin type and condition. Treatment on acne, unwanted hair and wrinkles are all included in their services. Los Angeles tattoo removal which offers removal of unwanted tattoos is also annexed to this medical clinic.

Acne laser is a popular method of treating acne. However, this treatment is only performed under the supervision of a medical practitioner. If you decide to use acne laser for treatment, it is essential that you conduct research about this procedure. You must orient yourself about the pros and cons, the long term consequences, the things that you would need to prepare yourself for, and most essentially, the medical clinic that you would seek treatment from. Acne Treatment Orange County is one that you can consider and inquire about.

If you are one that is deeply affected by uncontrollable acne, acne laser might be the ultimate solution for you. However, I strongly sugest that you consider this procedure only after trying some other alternatives such as natural remedy. At the end, if everything fails and leads you to seek acne laser, then do your homework. Do research.

Beauty products I'm loving.

Unlike most of the girls, I find myself not much into cosmetics and beauty products. When I was younger, I always had hesitations in using cleansers or eskinols because of the fear that they would ruin my skin. As I'm getting older however, the use of some beauty and skin care products became a necessity all in the name of protection. But if I do use a product, I am very careful in choosing and once it suits me, I tend to be loyal to it.

Let us look into the facial products that has gained my loyalty.

This Green herbal comes in two.

The one at the left is for day protection. You have to apply it on your face in the morning after cleaning with water. It moisturises the skin just enough for a young looking texture. Unlike other moisturizers which make my face feel sticky and oily, this product gives a very natural moisturizing that makes my skin healthy. It also evens the skin color making the scars brought by pimples or irritations fade.

The one at the right is for night use. You have to apply it before you go to bed, again, after cleaning your face on with fresh water. It's purpose is to protect your skin from pimples or any other skin bullies that can ruin your face. This product heals pimples or acne quickly leaving no traces of them.

I met this Green herbal product when I was plagued with a terrible acne episode. The acne attack was very bad making very visible scars on my face. It was caused by a very stressful relationship at the time [not my current relationship]. My friends from our church choir were so worried because my face used to be flawless. One of the girls from the choir suggested that I use this product that is newly created by some specialists from Yanhee International hospital in Thailand. This hospital is known for all the beauty products and procedures they give, almost anything you can ask for. I was already spending quite a fortune trying out some products to no avail. Thankfully, this Green herbal was the answer to my plight. I became loyal to it since then.





The Green herbal originally came through this containers. As you can see, it was very minimum. But since the product gained fame shortly after it proved its effectiveness, now they come much fancy.


After a year of using Green herbal product everyday, I thought that it was becoming too expensive for me. Since I had no more acne to arrest, and since my skin now moisturises naturally, I decided to use it alternately. I tried using it every other two days. For the days in between, I was only using water. It worked. Until later, I use this Green herbal only once a week. The rest of the days I use only water. My boyfriend noticed this water cleaning routine of mine. The next time that he came to Bangkok to spend vacation with me, he was bringing me his favorite facial cleanser product, Velocity.

Velocity feels good on the skin. When I apply it and scrub softly, it feels similar to the Green herbal the one for night use. It feels like there are sand on my face and along with these sand comes out the white heads and other unwanted particles from the skin.

I am very careful in using this Velocity though, because after it finishes, I am not sure if I can get another one from Thailand. Otherwise, I would have to wait for my next Velocity to be shifted from Germany. It is already, reasonably, expensive.



So these are the skin products that I am loving right now. Feel free to share what's yours.

Zapphire jewelry for fancy pretty women

Did you girls hear of the boy who wrote and published books about courting and relationship at so young age only nine years old? I cannot remember his name but I do remember clearly two things out of many tips he gave for grown up men on how to impress a girl. He said that a guy has to a have a sense of humor. He must be able to make girls laugh in order to be a catch. Second, he should be quick in spotting girls to impress. He said that it's easy to spot pretty girls because they always wear big fancy earrings, sexy dresses and striking jewelries.

Are pretty girls really the ones spotted in big lovely earrings and big jewelries? Maybe yes, maybe yes.

If you are one of these pretty girls, then I'm sure you would love to check zapphire jewelry boutique. They are full of exquisitely creative handcrafted designs that are said to be for women who savor the legacy of the past yet revel the aesthetics of today...

Perricone Giveaway: Avail fierce skin care products through a Perricone Coupon

Hello girls! For the first time, Creative Fashion is hosting a giveaway for its lovely readers. Yes, you heard it right. A giveaway.

The lucky winner for this easy and fun competition will receive a Cold Plasma ($150 Value) skincare product from PerriconeMD.

What is Cold Plasma?

"Cold Plasma is a universal skin care product; suited for anyone, no matter how old your skin is, what your skin type is, or whether you’re male or female.

Cold Plasma works through a patented ionic (i.e. charged particles) suspension carrier system which allows for your skin to extract from Cold Plasma’s formula according to your individual, unique needs. This personalized system, called biochemical individuality, is a self-selection process charged by phospholipids, major cell membrane components. Phospholipids are fat derivatives which help lock in moisture, because phosopholipid bilayers have hydrophilic (attracted to water) heads facing outward and hydrophobic (mix poorly with water) tails facing inward toward each other. The phospholipids in this formula help direct needed nutrients where they can be effectively used through the cell membrane. This means, if any of the ingredients aren’t needed, they just won’t be utilized." ~ Blog PerriconeMd

So, how to join?

It's simple. First, you have to join my follower list. Second, you have to leave a comment for this post citing your interest to join the competition and sharing your skin care secrets, or, if you have ever tried any PerriconeMD product, your experience with it.

Easy, right?

The lucky winner will be selected randomly.

The competition starts today upon its posting and will end on the 9th December 2009, that's Wednesday, at 12 midnight PST.

Girls, I know that this competition is something to celebrate, however, only those that are in the US can win this product. Yeah, I know, what about those international readers/bloggers? Don't worry, very few months from now this blog will celebrate its first anniversary. By then, I certainly would have something special that would be open to everyone.

And yet, there's still good news. Even if you don't live in the US, you can still avail a Cold Plasma or other Perricone products through a Perricone coupon. You would get 25% off for everything and anything using the code given. Just follow the links and you would know what I'm talking about.

Good luck.

Cindy Crawford: her beauty, her fashion

If there's any top supermodel that I adore so much, that's Cindy Crawford. Her beauty is a signature [thanks to her trademark mole]; is striking and timeless. Whenever I come across any article about her, be it from the web or from magazines, I hunger to devour. It didn't help when I learned that she does not only got the beauty, she also got the brain [Read a little background about her here and learn what she was in her university days].

When I opened my computer this morning I was greeted by the featured photos of her wearing this black combi below. She completely stole my heart. She inspired me to come up with this post.

Cindy sported a black mini dress along with black gladiator shoes when she attended the Omega 2009 Constellation Collection at Almada on October 15, 2009 in London, England.

A skirt and and a pair of brassiers weren't enough to cover her perfect figures.
