This technique can help you fix all your skin issues in one go
Creating a perfect personalised skincare routine is not easy. Addressing everything from oily skin to acne to dark circles and choosing the appropriate products can be very exhausting.
But worry not, cocktail therapy might be the answer to all your skincare problems. The word 'cocktail' here refers to the application of a combination of methods to address different skin issues. It is just like mixing a drink with different ingredients to create different and unique flavors.
Since various factors such as pollution, sun exposure, and lifestyle play a role in affecting your skin in different ways, cocktail therapy is a great technique to address all your issues at once and get the intended outcome.
Although it is not a new technique and has been around for decades, it has been getting very popular recently.
Since everyone has a different combination of different issues, the treatment is a customised skincare routine that combines several active substances to deal with different skin issues at once. However, to pinpoint certain issues, a comprehensive skin study of the person is important. Cocktail remedies are intended to provide immediate results with no or very less downtime.
Extensive breakouts, face rejuvenation, discolouration, dark circles and dryness are some of the issues that can be easily addressed using a cocktail therapy.
'A standard cocktail treatment consists of a combination of substances intended to protect and revitalize the skin. Antioxidants, vitamins and peptides are essential for preventing pollutants and UV radiation from harming the ecosystem,' said Dr Trupti D Agarwal, Consultant, Dermatology at Sir HN Reliance Hospital, Mumbai.
Hyaluronic acid and certain vitamins aids in moisture retention and combats dryness. Peptides as a component increase the synthesis of collagen and helps in diminishing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines. Vitamin C, tranexamic acid, and glutathione are among the substances that lessen pigmentation.
Since a comprehensive skin study of the person is done before administering this treatment, little to no side effects will be there as long as the treatment is done in the proper way. 'To minimise side effects, it is best to administer this treatment professionally and under supervision.' said Dr Agarwal.
