  1. Have a Skin Care Routine

You can start taking care of your skin at a young age, and you will continue throughout your entire life. If you want your skin to look healthy, you need to keep it clean and hydrated. The right skin care will ensure that your skin stays smooth, hydrated, and glowing. You can use sunscreen to protect your skin from the UV light of the sun, and choose a moisturizer that keeps your skin hydrated. It is important to choose skin care products that are designed for your skin type, age, and other factors. When you take care of your skin, it will look great for many years to come.

  1. Try Mink Lashes

Many people today are trying treatments to enhance their lashes, and mink lashes are very popular. These lashes are made from both real mink fur and material that is similar to this fur, and they are light, soft, fluffy, and natural looking. If you are looking for a full look that still looks natural, this is a great option. Some people say that they last longer because they are lighter than other materials that are used. They come in different lengths and thicknesses, so you can customize your look. This type of lash is great for building volume, and you can get them for both top and bottom lashes.

  1. Take Care of Your Teeth

Your teeth are important to you throughout your entire life. When you take care of them, they look great and function as they were intended. Your smile is closely connected to your beauty, and when you are uncomfortable with your teeth, you are less likely to smile. However, when you are pleased with your teeth, you can smile. In addition to brushing and flossing, you can get whitening treatments. There are many other cosmetic procedures that are available if you need to repair a broken tooth or improve your smile.

  1. Manage Your Stress

When you are stressed out, it shows in your face and your body. Stress can have an impact on your skin and your hair. It can cause increased sebum production that leads to clogged pores, and it can cause other skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema, and more. Stress also lowers your skin’s ability to heal itself, and it can cause you to neglect some of your self care practices. You can work on reducing stress by trying meditation or exercising.

  1. Take Care of Your Nails

If your nails are dirty or broken, people will notice. It is important to make sure that you clean your nails to keep them healthy and strong. You can paint them and shape them, or just wear them naturally, but make sure that they are clean. Pay attention to the nail polish you choose because some can leave stains. Start with a clear coat to avoid any staining.

The lovely and talented Doctor Jackie from Married to Medicine is the Beauty Muse for this month. I am a huge fan of the reality show – Married to Medicine. The new season 9 is currently showing on Amazon Prime and you can easily catch me watching the latest episode on a Monday evening. It is entertaining to watch the lives of different doctors as they navigate their paths in medicine while living in Atlanta. Doctor Jackie is one of the original cast members and she is fun to watch. She is so into her work and she is interesting to watch.

Beauty Muse: Doctor Jackie

For those who are not too familiar with this beauty, Doctor Jackie is an Atlanta-based OB-GYN famous for her amazing work and for appearing on the reality show – Married to Medicine since 2013. Doctor Jackie is the beauty muse for this month because she is a stunner, beauty, and brains wrapped up in 1. I still struggle to believe this stunning woman is in her 60s. She looks amazing for her age. Her skin glows, her hair is so beautiful, and she always looks well put together.

She is a natural beauty, and she looks fab with or without makeup. I would love to be a fly on her beauty wall to see for myself how she cares for her skin on a daily basis, but since I can’t, I have been busy reading more about her and I know her main skincare tip is to wear sunscreen. Doctor Jackie is big on protecting the skin from the sun as much as possible and her way to do this on a daily basis is to add a drop of foundation into the sunscreen. I think that is a fab idea and I will be implementing it into my routine, especially in the summer months.

Here is an excerpt from her interview with The list:

I put mine [on] with my makeup, so if it’s in the same area of my makeup, I put a dab of foundation and I cover my entire face and neck with it so that I don’t forget it. It’s almost like I tell my patients: Put your birth control pills with your toothpaste.

Over the years, the world has witnessed a shift in beauty trends, with both men and women embracing the idea of enhancing their bodies to look good. However, the focus for many is how to improve or retain the natural look of the face. Many facial procedures have become more popular as many people are now welcoming and accommodating the idea of body enhancement. One such facial producer is the Botox Lip Flip.

The Botox Lip Flip is a non-surgical treatment procedure that gives you voluptuous lips. The process does not involve filling your lips with hyaluronic acid as with dermal fillers. It consists of getting a Botox injection into your mouth corners and the middle of your upper lip.

The injection relaxes the muscles in your upper lip, causing part of your upper lip in your mouth to flip outward and upward, creating a natural-looking pout and giving your lips a fuller appearance. Although Botox lip flip makes your lips look more pronounced, it does not increase lip size.

Difference Between Botox Lip Flip and Lip Fillers

Lip filler and lip flips both have the same aim, to give you full lips with a more natural appearance. However, the procedure for this two differ. Lip fillers involve a surgical procedure, while Botox lip fill is non-surgical. Furthermore, lip flips make the lips appear more plumper, while lip fillers make lips actual full thanks to hyaluronic acid and other fillers that help give your skin a hydrated and structured appearance.

Also, Botox lip flips use a small quantity of Botox on your upper lip to relax the muscle so it can quickly turn upward. This action makes your lips appear fuller by just rearranging without increasing the actual volume of the lips.

Furthermore, dermal lip fillers are more expensive than lip flips. However, lip flips have shorter effects compared to fillers. The impacts of flips can only last up to 4 months, while those of fillers can last up to a year. Also, there is a difference in when the results will be visible after a procedure. The result can be seen immediately for lip fillers, while for flips, you would have to wait for up to a week to see results.

Who Is the Right Candidate for the Facial Procedure?

Many people who want to enhance their facial features or get rid of something on their face that they do not like, such as fine lines and wrinkles, go for surgical and non-surgical procedures to achieve their goal. People who opt for non-surgical lip procedures include:

  • Those who want fuller lips without necessary having to put in fillers
  • Individuals who want to enhance their smile
  • Those who want to get rid of upper lines

Lip Flip Procedure and How It Works

Every medical or cosmetic procedure has its dos and don’ts, and it is essential that you understand them before you go in for treatment. For Botox lip flip, you should stay away from blood thinners like aspirin and alcohol for 3 to 4 days before the procedure. Aspirin in the blood makes bruising and swelling worse after a procedure.

During the procedure, you should bear this in mind. The process is short, and it is supposed to take about 10-15 minutes. There will be no numbing before the injection, and this is because the procedure is considered relatively painless.

Your doctor will inject a kind of abobotalinumtoxin A, such as Dysport, Jeauveau, and in this case, Botox, into the middle of your upper lip and corners of the mouth. The goal is to relax the orbicularis Oris muscle found around this mouth region, which helps shape and form the lips. The injection will make the upper lip relax and flip outside, giving you a precise vision of fuller lips.

After the producer is done, you will likely return to your normal activities immediately. However, your upper lip may appear swollen and may feel numb. To get the best results out of the procedure, you are advised to stay clear of alcohol and smoking for 3-4 days after the process, as these two substances increase the risk of infection.

Also, control touching lips until all the numbness and swelling go away; however, you can massage your lips gently to spread the Botox. Also, avoid sleeping in positions that exert pressure on your lips. The procedure results will be visible after the numbness and swelling go down in 7- 14 days.

You must know that Botox lip flips are not permanent, and they can only last 2-4 months. This is because it’s a minute amount of Botox injected into your upper lip. If you notice the effects start to wear off, and you still want to keep the full lip illusion, you can book another appointment for the procedure with your doctor.

Botox lip flips work by blocking signals from the nervous system that occasion muscle movement around the upper lip area.

Another Procedure To Treat Upper Lines

If you are not feeling the Botox lip fillers, you can go for another procedure called Microneedling to take care of your upper lip lines. This cosmetic procedure involves using tiny, sterilized needles to prick the skin. The minute wounds made will cause your skin to produce more elastin and collagen, which heals your skin and helps you look much younger.

Lip lines or smoker lines are fine vertical lines that start from the upper lips and go up towards the nose. Upper lip lines result from dehydration, too much exposure to sunlight, exposure to pollution, lifestyle choices like exercise and diet, and genetics.

You should undertake this process in a doctor’s office. If you want to try it out in another place that is not a doctor’s office, check the person’s credentials thoroughly. Dermatologists and Aestheticians can handle this treatment perfectly. The process is not long. It takes about 10-15 minutes to be complete depending on the size of the area being worked on. For most people, you will need 4-6 treatment sessions to notice the difference in your skin.
