Sometimes, it’s the tiniest of things that make the biggest difference. A light contour along the nose and you instantly get it to look slimmer and straighter, and with only a dab of highlighter on your cheekbones, you can make them look lifted and more pronounced. While this is an absolutely great and fun way to play around and enhance your features, it’s a bit of a hassle to have to do it every single day. So, how do we tweak our face a little more permanently? Well, we have a few beauty tweaks suggestions for you! A short list of minimal cosmetic treatments to help your beauty shine.
Small Beauty Tweaks that Will Transform You in a Big Way
The Hollywood Peel
Also known as the carbon laser facial, the Hollywood peel is something celebrities have been raving about for quite a while. A perfect way to give yourself a clear, glowing complexion in under an hour, this painless procedure is completely non-invasive and safe to do. The cosmetician will cleanse your face thoroughly and apply a carbon-based cream on your skin, and then a laser is used to slowly remove a very thin layer of your epidermis (don’t worry, it’s mostly dead skin cells).
The laser interacts with the carbon cream, and your face is left smooth and lovely. It’s a really good procedure for anyone who has acne scarring or hyperpigmentation, and it’s also quite helpful with controlling your sebum production. Your skin will be sensitive for a few hours after the procedure, so we recommend applying a high-SPF cream to protect it.
8-point Facelift
Facelift with absolutely no surgery involved? Yes, please! The 8-point facelift is something that you can pretty much have done during your lunch break because it’s a ten-minute process that gives you results that can last around 12 months. Most plastic surgeons use Juvederm Voluma filler to inject in 8 specific points on your face, and you instantly get plumpness and volume, and your face looks smoother. This is one of those beauty tweaks that will do magic to your face. You will end up with fewer wrinkles and a youthful look! If you like it, you can always have a touch-up done after a year.
Lip Fillers
Supple, gorgeous lips right this way! A procedure that you can have to plump your lips and make them fuller – it’s safe, easy, and entirely effective. Apart from that, well-done lip fillers can also be used to treat smoker lines and unevenness and give your lips a better, more symmetrical shape. This is a really tiny tweak that makes a world of difference, especially if you’re not satisfied with your lip volume and want to give yourself that perfect, sultry pout.
Probiotics for Skin
If you’ve ever had antibiotics prescribed for a bacterial infection, your doctor might have recommended that you take probiotics as well to protect your gut flora. Well, just like our gut, our face is also full of both harmful bacteria, and good bacteria that give our skin a sort of protective barrier that can stave off infections and save you from conditions like acne, psoriasis, and eczema.
Scientists have figured out that probiotic facials could really help, but even besides that, there are new products being introduced to the market. La Roche Posay’s Toleriane line incorporates prebiotics (a sort of food for the good bacteria), into their products, so if you have sensitive skin and a lot of zits that keep popping up, this is definitely worth checking out.
Microneedling
You might have heard about something called “the vampire facial,” so you know that microneedling is something that’s getting increasingly more popular in the world. The procedure involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles and delivering active ingredients like collagen deep into the skin’s surface, but it can also be used to stimulate hair growth and help with hair thinning. Another procedure that can help smooth out the skin and deal with scarring, scientists are also looking into other ways it can be applied in cosmetics and medicine because so far it has shown some really great results!
As you can see, there is no need to go under the knife if you’re too scared– these little beauty tweaks and procedures make a huge difference and they are all fairly safe and require no downtime (if you go to an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon or aesthetician). Which ones will you pick?
