Be Christmas-Ready [PART 1]: Beauty Tips from Our Very Own Dermatologist, Dr. Pie

Posted on December 10, 2021 by Manny & Pie Calayan Clinic

Christmas is upon us! The questions we’ve been receiving from our social media accounts are mostly tips on how to have beautiful, glowing skin this holiday season. Finally, Dr. Pie, resident dermatologist here at Manny & Pie Calayan Clinic will give us some tips to achieve the #NoFilter and #NoMakeupLook this Christmas.

BEAUTY TIPS FROM DR. PIE

Get enough sleep.

Dr. Pie: Skin regenerates and repairs best when you sleep. Collagen production also increases overnight, so you will wake up feeling fresher with plumper looking skin.

Don’t skip on your skin care routine.

Dr. Pie: Whatever the season, your skin care routine is your basic maintenance to a healthy, glowing skin.

Drink lots of water.

Dr. Pie: Moisturizers can only do so much. You need to be hydrated inside and out! Not having enough water will make your skin dry and dull. Besides, you’d want to drink alcohol during the festivities. Drinking water will help you flush out its toxins.

Eat healthy food.

Dr. Pie: Surely, you can’t help but eat lots of sweet and processed food during your holiday celebration. These will breakdown collagen on the skin and increase in oil production (sweet food), and puffiness (salty food). So, before the celebration begins, try to eat as healthily as possible. Food rich in antioxidants can help you maintain a glowing skin!

Treat yourself to beauty treatments.

Dr. Pie: Derma treatments can help you maintain the at-home effort you do for your skin. You need to come in for total exfoliation of dead skin cells and for some treatments that can make pores appear smaller and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

RECOMMENDED DERMA TREATMENTS BY DR. PIE

Dr. Pie’s goal is to help you achieve the #NoFilter and #NoMakeupLook this Christmas. To do that, here are the top derma treatments that Dr. Pie recommends for you:

SILK SKIN FACIAL or ROYAL FACIAL

Dr. Pie: They are my favorite facial treatments that I do for myself and my go-to recommendation for patients because they make the skin feel instantly soft and smooth. All dead skin cells are completely removed, so the skin looks glowing with a glass skin effect. The treatments are also relaxing, so all the stress melts away along with excess oil, black/whiteheads, and dead skin cells.

DETOX DRIP

Dr. Pie: I do this treatment weekly, without fail. Concocting the glutathione drip with the addition of Vitamin C and Placenta is a powerful combination that takes care of the overall skin health. In addition, it helps boost the immune system too! Patients can easily do this while their facial treatment is ongoing, if they wish to cut the time being of being outside.

SAFYRE LASER

Dr. Pie: It is essential for the skin to shed off all dead skin cells to make room for new, healthier skin cells and to prevent lines from forming. This treatment is one of the most basic ways to take care of it. In addition, Safyre Laser can also reduce the appearance of dark scars and post-acne marks.

SRS MACHINE

Dr. Pie: If there’s only one treatment that I can do for my skin to be ready for the Holidays or any occasion, this is it! It enhances tissue regeneration, balances skin moisture barrier so skin is hydrated, increases collagen and elastin production, and overall improves the skin’s texture, showcasing a smoother and radiant skin. The procedure is also very fast and pain-free. There’s no downtime at all!
