DR Secret - How to Clear Acne Breakouts after applying Makeup

2012-01-13T00:33:00.000-08:00

Frequently, many women experience acne breakouts after applying makeup, ranging from as young as 16 to women in their 30s.

Why Does Make Up Causes Acne Breakouts?

Make up causes acne breakouts as it blocks the skin pores, thus the pores are unable to breathe, and becomes clogged pores as a result. When pores are clogged with impurities, acne starts to form on the skin, causing breakouts.

Some cosmetics contain chemicals that are unsuitable for sensitive skin, hence, we highly recommend to stick to light makeup or organic based make up to prevent breakouts.

Cleansing Step is most important for Acne Breakouts

To reduce acne breakouts and clogged pores, cleansing step is most important. Make up remover is to be used immediately to remove make up the first thing you come home, to allow the skin to breathe. After which, apply a good grade cleanser to remove impurities deeply dislodged in the skin for best results.

How to Prevent Acne Breakouts after applying Makeup?

1. Cleansing (twice a day)

For acne, cleansing step is most important to remove impurities on the skin to allow the skin to regenerate and clear up the acne.

2. Miraglo Face (Exfilotation Cloth)

For faster improvements to clear up acne, use a exfliotation cloth to remove impurities such as acne and blackheads twice to three times weekly.

3. DR Secret Spot Serum

Apply Spot Serum on acne affected areas twice a day, or every two hours (when there is breakouts) till breakouts subside.

4. Before applying makeup, apply Sunscreen first.

Apply Sunscreen first to prevent impurities from makeup from seeping into the skin. After which, apply make up and foundation.

5. Use Make up remover (Aestier Cleansing Cream) to remove makeup

Use a make up remover to remove makeup as the Cleanser does not necessary remove all makeup. Try to use less make up to prevent clogged pores/acne.

Shrink Enlarged Pores with DR Secret Refining Serum

2011-09-14T02:51:00.000-07:00

It is an envy in every person eyes — that perfectly smooth facial texture, like porcelain.

But several factors and harsh conditions affect the skin — sun damage, aging, warm weather, lack of adequate exfoliation, naturally oily skin. Pores allow sweat and sebum to reach the skin surface. This results in a very thick layer that accumulates on the skin as unsightly, enlarged pores. Skin begins to look sallow and lifeless.

We have developed DR’s Secret Refining Serum to stop these woes.

Our advanced Skin Refining Serum is totally alcohol-free formulation with the highest concentration of natural ingredients for maximum purity and efficacy. Instead of using alcohol to shrink pores, Refining Serum is formulated with fermented corn extracts to tighten pores, while using a synergistic combination of plant tannins with the highest concentration of witch hazel, willow bark and cinnamon for an astringent effect. It is enriched with conalbumin that moisturizes and lifts away old, damaged skin. DR’s Secret Refining Serum works to unclog then tighten up dilated pores with all the re-invigorating ingredients locked in to nourish skin from within.

That porcelain-like skin you have always wanted?

It is yours — day by day, with every pure drop of DR’s Secret Refining Serum.

DR Secrets for Anti Ageing Skin Care Treatment

2010-05-20T21:11:00.000-07:00

It is inevitable to develop wrinkles as we age. We can only do so much to slow down the process. Aged skin causes wrinkles since they lack the flexibility of the cells found in younger skin. This causes it to sag and wrinkle.There are several ways to prevent skin aging through prevention and treatment.

1. Remove Dead Skin Cells

The goal of this type of treatment is to remove the old skin layer to be able to make room for the new skin layer to surface. This is achieved by increasing the rate of cell turnover until it is consistent with the turnover rate of healthy skin which is 21 to 28 days. Then, when the top layer of dead skin cells is removed, replaced by new younger skin below the surface.

DRs Secret Skinlight and Skinrecon work together to remove dead skin cells during the renewal process to remove the impurities in the skin. It is a non invasive process that uses natural vitamins and minerals.

2. Protect and Prevent by Blocking UV Rays

UV Rays from the sun is the main cause for skin aging. UV rays dehydrate the skin, causing sagging and wrinkles to appear. It is important to use Sunscreen to prevent premature skin aging.

DR’s Secret sunscreen helps prevent premature skin ageing and defend your complexion against unwanted pigmentation by providing skin protection against the damaging effects of sun UVA/UVB rays. This moisturising sunscreen also hydrates the skin to enhance cell renewal.

3. Skin Firming Treatment to Tighten Wrinkles and Sagging Skin

At night, use skin firming treatment on affected areas to tighten wrinkles and sagging skin. Using a combination of day and night treatment, your skin natural state will be restored over time.

DRs Secret C15 Essence (#7) for Skin Firming

C15 essence is effective for firming skin and protecting it from wrinkles, pigmentation and aging.

Dehydration can affect every skin type and age, especially those with dry skin. Skin dehydration is the loss of water in the skin and occurs when the skin loses more moisture than it takes in. Dehydration often leads to thinning of the skin, promotes development of fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet. Being dehydrated can change the appearance of your skin, it may appear flushed, dry and older looking.

The skin dehydration often result from a hot, dry climate, not drinking enough water, prolonged exposure to sun, poor skin hygiene, air conditioning, harsh soaps etc.

DR’s Secret for Skin Lightening, Pigmentation, Freckles, Dark Spots

2010-03-22T02:52:00.000-07:00

Why does pigmentation occur?

Uneven pigmentation affects most people, regardless of ethnic background or skin color. Skin may either appear lighter or darker than normal; there may be blotchy, uneven areas, patches of brown to gray discoloration or freckling. Skin pigmentation disorders occur because the body produces either too much or too little melanin. Melanin is the pigment produced by melanocyte cells. It is triggered by an enzyme called tyrosinase, which creates the color of skin, eyes, and hair shades.

Melanin has two major forms that combine to create varying skin tones. Eumelanin produces a range of brown skin and hair color, while pheomelanin imparts a yellow to reddish hue.

Melanin provides some amount of sun protection for the skin by absorbing ultraviolet light. Darker skin colors are less susceptible to sunburn and the overall effects of sun damage.

Aside from sun exposure and hormones, hyperpigmentation can be caused by skin damage, such as remnants of blemishes, wounds or rashes. This is especially true for those with darker skin tones.

The most typical cause of darkened areas of skin, brown spots or areas of discoloration is unprotected sun exposure. Once incorrectly referred to as liver spots, these pigment problems are not connected with the liver.

Benefits of Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a product used to protect the skin from ultraviolet rays, to avoid damage and/or darkening of the skin. Some sunscreens can be used to lighten the skin, too. Higher SPFs contain greater quantities of the UVA-protecting ingredients titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or avobenzone.

DR’s Secret Sunscreen SPF 25 helps prevent premature skin ageing and defend complexion against unwanted pigmentation by providing skin protection against the damaging effects of sun UVA/UVB rays. This moisturising sunscreen also hydrates the skin to enhance cell renewal.

Skin lightening Ingredients - How it works

Hydroquinone is a strong inhibitor of melanin production, meaning that it prevents skin from making the substance responsible for skin color. Hydroquinone does not bleach the skin, and can only disrupt the synthesis and production of melanin hyperpigmentation. It has been banned in some countries because of fears of a cancer risk. Hence, the new DR’s Secret Skinlight T3 does not contain Hydroquinone.

DR’s Secret Skinlight T3 uses Kojic acid in its formulation. Kojic acid is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice for use in the manufacturing of sake, the Japanese rice wine. Research shows kojic acid to be effective for inhibiting melanin production.

Another ingredient used is Arbutin. Arbutin is derived from the leaves of bearberry, cranberry, mulberry or blueberry shrubs, and also is present in most types of pears. It can have melanin-inhibiting properties.

DR’s Secret Skinrecon T4 completes the skin treatment program. It is a synergistic blend of multi-functional active ingredients and anti-oxidants offering exceptional skin calming properties while renewing, restoring and nourishing your skin.

Together, DR’s Secret Skinlight T3 and Skinrecon T4 work perfectly to lighten and renew your skin.

DR’s Secret has gained its popularity in tropical countries for its ability to lighten and prevent melanin production in the skin.

Testimonals

“15 years ago, a virus attack left me blinded. When I recovered my eyesight a year later, I was horrified to find the ugly pigmentation on my face. It took only 1 month of using DR’s Secret to see an improvement. And within 9 months, my pigmentation ceased almost totally! I’m resolved to stick to DR’s Secret for life!”

- Edna See, 50 Pigmentation.
