It’s no secret everyone desires glowing, flawless skin. Unfortunately for many of us, it’s proven a constant uphill struggle trying to get there, especially when you have skin conditions like acne, dryness, oily skin, and what not.

Don’t lose hope just yet. The word is out, anyone can have great skin. Yes, you heard me right. Anyone.

We spoke to Dr Low Chai Ling, medical director for aesthetic clinic, SW1 clinic, to find out what are the best kept secrets for flawless skin, and what’s the best way to achieve better skin in just 7 days.

“It’s not just about having the right habits and using the right products or even about establishing a proper routine like having adequate sleep and exercise. It’s also important to find out what works for your skin type and lifestyle, and committing to some beauty-musts,” Dr Low adds.

Without further ado, get started on the path to glowing, radiant skin.

Deep Clean

More often than not, if skin is not well cleaned from the daily rigour of makeup, it’s easy for pores to get clogged and congested, which then leads to breakouts. A deep cleansing facial such as Deep Deep Clean combines microdermabrasion with a fruit acid wash plus 5-10 minutes of ultrasonic deep pore purging to keep breakouts at bay. In addition, you can choose from whitening wraps, to oil control wraps to hyaluronic acid wraps for your specific skin’s needs.

A well cleaned face sets the foundation for other skincare products to penetrate and do the work it’s supposed to for your skin.

Aquadermabrasion

If your concern is stressed, dehydrated and overworked skin, a hydro facial such as Aquadermabrasion might just be what the doctor orders for you. This is a skin-specific peel that primes skin while vitamin enriched saline is delivered to detox, prime and prep your complexion. Revel in a gorgeous, glow from your skin after the facial. It’s (literally) a breath of fresh air; one your skin is sure to thank you for.

Peels

Chemical peels are a great way to give your skin a quick makeover. Using naturally occurring fruit acids, peels can help to improve and smoothen the texture of your skin. By removing the top layer via a peel, you allow healthy new skin cells to come through. Result: glowing, radiant skin with a smoother texture.

You will notice an improvement in facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. Even acne will be better controlled with acne scars softening.

This is a relatively quick treatment which can be done over lunch without any significant downtime, although some flaking is expected 2-3 days after the treatment.

Pico Smooth

An FDA- approved treatment for acne scars and wrinkles, Pico Smooth is the latest and most innovative laser to hit the market. It uses a photoacoustic beam to create pressure waves that aids in the production of collagen and elastin in your skin.

This is a treatment that’s perfect for those with acne scars and wrinkles as it stimulates a natural repair mechanism that results in the growth of new collagen and elastic tissue.

All in all, you will see an overall smoothening of acne scars, refinement of pores and complexion enhancement.

Pimple ER

Big zit and an upcoming big event is never a good combination. You might think the only solution is to cover it with makeup concealer or perhaps not show up at the event at all. Not true.

There’s now a quick fix to get your pimple down and flattened in 24 hours or less. Pimple ER is an innovative three-step therapy not only treats individual pimple lesions from within to stop infection in its tracks, it also utilizes dermal healing topicals and transdermal delivery of active ingredients to calm the inflammation speedily, so you regain a flawless skin in the shortest possible time.
