What Are Facial Threads? Does This Controversial Lift Work?

What are facial threads? Also known as a thread lift or PDO thread lift, this non-surgical procedure lifts and tightens the skin on the face while boosting collagen production in the treated area. This minimally-invasive cosmetic technique leads to a more youthful appearance with a subtle effect that snatches facial contours while reducing wrinkles, sagging, and slowing the aging process. Read on to find out more about facial threads, how they work and how effective they are, their potential side effects, and why some plastic surgeons don’t recommend them. Ultimately, you can decide whether or not a thread lift is suitable for you. What Are Facial Threads?

25 Natural Non-Toxic Body Lotions For Your Softest Skin

If you’re looking for a natural non-toxic body lotion, welcome! I’ve hand-picked 25 of the best natural non-toxic body lotions. These lotions will cherish your dry skin with melting textures and delicious scents, leaving you with your softest skin yet. So what do we mean when we say “non-toxic”? I’m talking about controversial ingredients. There are some ingredients that I personally avoid in my body lotion because there’s controversy over their safety. Because, there are plenty of safer alternatives to choose from. There are some I avoid because I prefer natural over synthetic ingredients.

How to Remove Facial & Spider Veins: Removal Options

You may be wondering how to remove facial and spider veins on the face. These spider veins are actually broken blood vessels, and appear as clusters of red or purple veins on the cheeks or nose. Blood flow backs up in these veins, as blood pools within them. Redness of the face can occur as a result of vein damage. According to Dr. Ophelia, “Spider veins on the face are usually harmless but can be cosmetically bothersome. They occur when small blood vessels dilate or break, often due to sun exposure, aging, genetics, or skin trauma.” Reticular veins are slightly larger and appear around the eyes, nose, and mouth. These are often larger than spider veins, may bulge slightly, and are blue in appearance. Facial veins, also known as telangiectasias, are a common condition – but most people find they dislike their appearance. If this applies to you, it can affect…
