Tips on How to Achieve Perfect Skin

Today its easy to find a lot of resources on the internet---and experts you can ask to help you on your quest to achieve skin perfection. 

 

The science behind skin-care products has come a long way but there's still no such thing as an instant fix to achieve flawless skin. And you have to start by understanding and knowing what kind of skin you have.

The skin is the largest organ of our body, spanning over a whopping 20 square feet. Using a complex system of, glands, fat, blood vessels and connective tissue, it is indispensable to the proper functioning of the human body. The skin protects us from microbes, the elements, helps regulate body temperature and regulates sensory responses to touch, heat and cold. Whilst preserving vital nutrients and chemicals in the body, it helps synthesize vitamin D and acts as a shield from harmful ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun. Skin color, texture and folds are aspects inextricably linked to our overall well-being and to a great extent our identity and individuality too. 

 

According to the website www.wecareforskin.net when it comes to classification, people are also categorized by the texture of their skin, such as oil, dry, or combination. This is important for dermatologists to recommend the best treatments for various skin conditions, including acne and dandruff. This classification usually refers to the skin on your face, though it sometimes matches the rest of your body as well. 

 

There are five main Skin types

Normal skin: Normal skin is neither too dry nor too oily, it’s not severely sensitive to anything, has barely visible pores, and can usually count on not having to deal with acne.

 

Oily skin: People with oily skin usually have enlarged pores and more overall sebum production than other types. 

 

The site says you’re going to want to use a gentle skin cleanser and not scrub, and wash your face no more than twice a day and after you sweat a lot. You’ll also need skincare and beauty products that are non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog your pores.

 

Dry skin: Dry skin has really tiny pores, almost invisible, and your skin can often look rough. It also feels less elastic, because of the decreased amount of sebum. Because of this, dry skin is especially susceptible to dry weather, especially in winters. It can become itchy or irritated and can develop cracks. 

 

Combination skin: It’s possible for your skin to be dry or normal in some areas and oily in others. Combination skin usually also features large pores (at least on the face), and therefore is susceptible to acne. It’s actually a fairly common skin type, and needs different care methods based on the type of skin and part of the body.

 

Sensitive skin: Sensitive skin is less of a type classification and more a measure of how easily it can become inflamed. This can show up as everything from simple redness to a full-blown rash or burning and itchiness. If your skin seems to often become inflamed, it’s advisable to visit a dermatologist and find out what triggers or causing the situation and avoid them. 

Now that you can identify what type of skin you have, here’s a list on what you can do to achieve skin perfection .

 

1.     Listen to the professionals. Visit your dermatologist twice a month or when skin problems arise. If you don’t want to visit the hospital, because of pandemic, you can still do an online consultation. 

2.     Wash your face before you sleep, no matter how tired you are. Never sleep with your make-up on. 

3.     Always moisturize in the morning and evening. In my case, I always have my anti-aging serum applied before I go to sleep at night.

4.     Always use a sunblock even when indoors to fight against UV radiation. Your sunblock is your skins best friend. 

5.     Stay away from sunlight as UV radiation is stronger in the afternoon. 

6.     Apply skin products correctly, and what order works best, especially if youre a fan of K-Beauty products. Tone, moisturize, face mask and serum. 

7.     Exercise 30 minutes a day or do your yoga at the comfort of your room. 

8.     Skin care is also self care. So avoid stress. Emotional stress

 can actually cause skin problems. When you are stress free, it shows in your face.

9.     Eat your fruits and vegetables. Watch your food intake.

10.   Take the prescribed supplements  everyday to achieve flawless and melasma-free skin. 

 

So what is melasma. ? Melasma, or chloasma appears as dark, discolored patches on your skin. Though it can affect anyone, it’s much more common in women than men, with 90 percent of people suffering from it being female. This is especially true of women of Asian, African, and Hispanic descent.

Melasma also most often affects pregnant women, which is why it’s called the “mask of pregnancy”. Though a person’s genetic predisposition may be an underlying cause, it’s believed that your exposure to sun, skin irritation, and hormonal changes also play a big part.

The quest for skin perfection might not be easy and often times challenging, but knowing your skin type, understanding the common problems and discovering supplements like Pynocare can help make your goal a lot easier to achieve.

Pynocare Ingredients:

Procyanidin (French Maritime Pine Bark Extract)

= 24 mg.

Vitamin C ( as Ascorbic Acid)

= 60 mg.

Beta Carotene ( D. Salina extract)

= 6 mg.

d-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate (Natural Vitamin E) = 15 IU

STI College encourages students to get Huawei certifications and develops talents for the ICT industry

True to its word of creating "New Value Together, Win Together," Huawei Philippines has recently recognized the significant contributions and exemplary performance of its industry and academic partners, conferring the ICT Talent Partner of the Year 2020 award to STI College, which has the highest number of students passing the Huawei certifications offered by Huawei ICT Academy. 

 

Cultivating Filipino ICT Talents at the Early Stage 

As a tech-driven educational institution with a large network of schools in the Philippines, STI College understands the difficulties faced by students who are pursuing ICT-related courses. Despite the increased adoption and use of digital technologies in the country, digitalization efforts in the education sector remain impacted by the broadband penetration and access to advanced technologies. Students often fall short of meeting the industry's talent requirements, struggling to acquire up-to-date knowledge and credentials, such as virtual training and certification.

STI College at present has the highest number of students passing the Huawei certifications.

 

STI College took on the challenge by nurturing students to become job-ready, future-ready, and life-ready. To achieve this, STI introduced its Enrollment to Employment System, wherein students get applicable education, job market skills, job preparedness, and job placement assistance. 

 

The first step is the Learning Systems Development, which ensures that the curriculum content is up-to-date and job market-oriented. To complement this, STI implements the Academic Delivery System to guarantee that highly-qualified and certified faculty members, and state-of-the-art facilities of campuses are at par with the standardized courseware and curriculum. STI integrates in-demand ICT technologies into its courseware materials to prepare students for their dream careers. 

 

The third step, Student Certification, assures that students are prepared for employment through rigid assessment, evaluation, and certificate programs. Before the students leave the security of their four-walled classrooms, they are given the opportunity to undergo on-the-job training with  STI's reputable partner companies.

 

Connecting Students with Future Employers

With its partnership with Huawei ICT Academy, STI College delivers Huawei ICT technologies training, encourages students to get Huawei certifications, and develops talents with practical skills for the ICT industry and the community. Huawei helps STI College integrate in-demand ICT technologies into its programs to better prepare the students for future certifications. The Academy offers more than 100 certification exams and 22 technical fields to pave clear the career development paths for STI students.

 

STI College has so far produced 299 students certified in five technology domains: cloud computing, Big Data, artificial intelligence, routing and switching, and storage. Huawei ensures that its courses match the needs of the ICT industry in general and its partner enterprises in particular to guarantee employment for students.

 

An industry certification validates the skills and readiness of the students to join the ICT workforce. Every certification is valid for three years, and the students' names appear on Huawei's online database as Huawei Certified ICT Associates (HCIA). This improves students' competitiveness in the job market as well as schools' employment rate.

 

Regine Gila Cabeltes, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering graduate of STI College, realized the benefits of being Huawei-certified soon after she finished her course. "Being a Huawei Certified ICT Associate made it easier for me to land the job I aspired. The technologies covered in the HCIA courses are prevalent in the company where I work. When I was answering the technical questions during my job interview, it was like answering a certification exam," Cabeltes shared.

 

Prof. Beronika Peña, STI College's ICT and Engineering Courseware Development Head, is one of the teachers at Huawei ICT Academy. Peña received an Excellent Instructor with a Level A Award from the Academy in 2020. "We are grateful to be an ICT Academy. Huawei has provided us the means to promote ICT talent development to our teachers and students. Through this partnership, we look forward to producing more competent and industry-ready graduates," she said.

 

Contributing to the Development of the ICT Industry

Establishing one's career in today's competitive industries has become a challenging pursuit to most job seekers. Employers, too, are increasingly having difficulty finding the right person for the job. Too often, there remains a huge gap between the skills required by the industry and what a graduate has to offer.

 

Given the current state of ICT talent development in the Philippines, Huawei ICT Academy and STI College have committed to equipping Filipino students with the needed knowledge and skills to prepare them for their future career in the ICT industry. In the long term, the partnership aims to bridge the gap in talent supply and demand toward the sustainable development of the Philippine ICT industry said Mr. Todd Liu, President of Enterprise Business Group, Huawei Philippines.

Skin Care for Hope: Gentle, moisturizing, and mindfully created products that are paraben-free and formulated with natural ingredients

I have been on the look out for a local skincare for the past year. Since, all of my moisturisers and serum seems not to work on me anymore or I just have to rest using them for a while. I have yet to try my skin on organic, paraben-free and affordable quality skincare. Then I heard about Skin Care for Hope. 

When we talk about the future of the skincare industry, a few of the trends that are almost sure to continue include authenticity, clean and quality ingredients, responsibility, and sustainability, that all lead to clean beauty.

 

In line with the thrust of making clean beauty part of one’s daily routine, local skincare brand Skin Care for Hope launches on Clean Beauty Day, to share the importance of putting kindness first to self, others, and the planet by offering gentle, moisturizing, and mindfully created products that are paraben-free and specially formulated with natural ingredients. 

Inspired by her book, “Staying Beautiful and Hopeful”, which shares the truths of self-care through skincare, board-certified dermatologist and book author Dr. Claire Marie Reyes-Habito founded Skin Care for Hope, which aims to bring hope and healing for those with compromised skin brought about by skin sensitivities, skin aging, or from medications such as chemotherapy and radiation. 

“Clean Beauty Day is the perfect day to introduce our Skin Care for Hope products to the community since Clean Beauty is one of the advocacies of our brand. We encourage use of gentle, mild, moisturizing, and paraben-free skin products to help improve the skin barrier and bring better quality of life for those with sensitive skin.” said Dr. Claire Habito, Skin Care for Hope President & CEO.

 

Skin Care for Hope’s most popular product, the Skin Relief and Moisturizing Cream is formulated with the unique blend of nata de coco, calendula, and Buah Merah, that helps calm and soothe dry and irritated skin.

The skincare brand also crafted skin care bundles that are purposely made to give Filipinos more opportunities to make better choices when it comes to skin care. These everyday essentials help address special needs on hand and foot, as well as scalp and skin and may also be used by those who are experiencing xerosis and undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. 

Skin Care for Hope believes in the well being of the skin and soul. As part of Skin Care for Hope’s advocacy on clean beauty, the said local brand is inviting every Filipino to become part of their skin care community that aims to educate, inspire, and empower one another in practicing self-care with an all-natural skin care routine. 

“Education on good skin care and self-care habits is one of the things that we want to emphasize and share in the local skincare community. It’s not enough to just have skin products, it’s important to know what, when, and how to apply them for better skin care. In the next months we look forward to sharing this through our free teledermatology consultation in our website and education ads and videos in our Facebook page. It is through this that we can bring hope and healing to many.”, Dr. Habito added.

Skin Care for Hope will continue to encourage not only its customers but also the local skincare industry to adopt environment-friendly practices and use products with ingredients that are natural and free from chemicals that potentially can harm.
