Tips for good hair and skin

At Montreal International Clinic we are specialized in skin treatment technologies, treating acne, dry skin, oily skin and dull skin. Our dermatologists in Dubai are experienced medical doctors and aestheticians. A very common association of bad skin is bad hair, and many of our patients struggle with hair fall, dandruff, dry hair and split ends, trying in vain to liven and strengthen hair.

Healthy hair is supported by good skin, and although the strength of your hair depends on your genes, hair requires a good diet and nourishment from within. Hair that sits above the scalp is considered dead protein, and no product or treatment can improve it after it has grown out.

Millions of products around the world claim to give you good hair after continuous use for long periods of time, and this is actually true. The reason that many shampoos and conditions do not claim to improve the quality of your hair instantly, is because one can only improve quality of hair from beneath the skin. If you’re looking for a miracle hair lotion that you could apply at night and wake up to long hair like Rapunzel, it doesn’t exist. Weak hair is a sign of weak skin, and the trick to growing thick long hair is to nourish and treat your skin effectively.

Healthy skin sprouts first from hydration, and just as doctors advice on drinking two litres of water a day to keep your systems clean and flushed, your skin requires a good amount of water to remove the toxins, which reflects on supple skin and better looking hair.
Your diet plays a huge role in helping with healthy skin and hair. The building block of hair is protein and including a good amount of lean meats, and soya will improve the quality of hair. But you need to keep one thing in mind, your body’s first priority is to keep you healthy and fit, and it will only focus on hair if it has excess nutrients to spare. So if you want to grow your hair faster, you’d to need to consume plenty of nutrients for hair, skin and body.

Zinc is an essential mineral that helps to keep the oil glands healthy. The hair follicles which lie right beside the oil glands use the oil to strengthen it. Some other very essential nutrients for healthy skin and hair are beta-carotene, iron, vitamins A, C, E, K, fatty acids, and oils are essential for healthy hair growth. A balanced diet will keep your skin glowing and your new hair will appear stronger.

Medical professionals like us, always say that exercise is key to health, and this fact applies to hair as well. You may have noticed that people, especially woman who work out at the gym regularly, generally have strong bouncy hair. This is because exercise makes your skin sweat out toxins and cell waste almost renewing itself each time, the benefits of clean toxic free skin reflects on good head of hair too.

Your hair and skin are good indicators of your health in general. If your hair is weak and brittle, you may need to rethink your diet to include all the necessary nutrients for good hair. Hair can also look dull and damaged if your skin is not healthy, or if you have some other medical condition, which you may want to have checked. Smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of vital nutrients or medications can stunt hair growth. This is where we come in, The Montreal International Clinic’s Dubai dermatology unit lead by a team of skin specialists are there to help you resolve hidden skin conditions that may be stunting hair growth.

Acne Treatment Dubai

Acne, one would think is easy to treat. It’s just a tiny pimple that should go away as soon as you treat it with some kind of cleaning/cleansing ointment or product. But for many sufferers of acne, this is not the case, the more you try to rid yourself of acne, the more breakouts you experience. The pimples enlarge and expand leaving behind unsightly scars on your skin and on your confidence.

For teenagers acne is inevitable with raging hormones, and numerous changes taking place in the body, many people expect it, and try everything to rid their face of acne. However, in most cases adolescent acne will only fade away well into your 20’s. It would be great if acne was just a phase for everybody, but unfortunately acne affects millions of men and women well into their 30’s.

Acne starts when skin oil called sebum mixes with dead skin cells in the pores. When the clog causes a block, it eventually becomes infected by bacteria, which in turn cause inflammation and swelling. Keeping your skin clean and oil free all the time is not practical and generally harms the skin even further. Washing your face three to four times a day will lead you to have dry skin, which easily peels off, sometimes causing more pimples than you had before. This is why many people who use strong soaps report more acne than before.

Acne treatment can be tricky, as there are various factors to consider when treating acne. The hormone levels in your body, the quantity of sebum production, the rate at which you lose skin cells, your diet, skin care routine, the products you use, your environment and the humidity levels, and the list goes on and on. Most of us are willing to put up with a few pimples here and there, but are not willing to accept the scars it can later leave behind.

When dealing with acne, you should always consult your dermatologist or a Dubai certified skin care specialists. These professionals understand the structure of the skin and have vast experience in treating various types of acne in different people, giving them the required know-how and skill to do so.
There are many at-home rituals and habits that you can follow to reduce the risk of acne breakouts, or to prevent it from spreading. For most people with acne, the most affected area of your skin will be the face, a place that is most prominent of all. But it is not uncommon to notice acne scars and pimples on your head, neck shoulders and upper body and sometimes even around the thighs.

The Montreal International Clinic is well versed in the effective treatment for acne using tried and tested methods and skin care techniques. By talking to professionals before putting dollars down for products that claim to help with acne, you will be spending on products that actually work.

Acne can be a very difficult condition to treat, but at the Montreal International Clinic’s dermatological unit, we bring together the best technology, highest rated skin care products, and expert acne treatment professionals who join forces to help you rid your most prominent feature of acne.

Taking Care of your Skin

When it comes to looking after your skin, there are so many myths and truths out there, which makes it hard for just about anyone. Finding your way through the millions of ads, celebrity advice and need to have perfect skin, can leave your skin in shambles and you completely frustrated.

The Montreal International Clinic specializes in offering medically approved skin care treatment to men and women who just want clean, clear, problem free skin. Our speciality skin services range from professional Dubai dermatology to aesthetic skin care routines conducted at our highly-sophisticated clinic. Our skin doctor in Dubai and aestheticians work together using their skills and training to treat skin problems effectively. Whether you have acne, dry and wrinkled skin, fine lines, eye bags, or would just like to obtain renewed skin we have the best skin care experts in Dubai to help you with your concerns.

Your skin is by far the most complex and difficult organ in your body to manage. Many of us are struck with acne scars, bruises that leave a dark patch, wrinkles, bites that seem to itch all the time, and gravity weighs it down too. Sun, heat, sweat and dust in the air along with makeup, creams, and chemicals, it’s no wonder our skin struggles to stay healthy.

The sun dries and darkens it, and no amount of SPF can actually do your skin any more good than it does bad. Although wearing sun screen is important, wearing a thick layer of sun screen all day long when you are barely in the sun for than a few minutes, will do more damage than good for your skin. How so? Most of us wear sun screen when going out for anything, and many of the times, we are shaded in the car, or mostly remain indoors. Wearing thick cream during a hot day clogs the pores. Pores allow your skin to release toxins, sweat, water, and cell waste. By sealing the pores with creams and lotions that are heavy on the skin, you are literally doing more harm than good. Sun screen should be left for days when you are going to be out on the beach or away from shade for many hours, not just a few minutes.

Another skin problem that millions faces around the world is dry skin. But what we haven’t been told by the millions of marketing campaigns that sell moisturizers is that there are two types of dry skin conditions, one of which you can’t treat with moisturizer. If your skin is not producing enough oil to keep your skin moistened and supple, then you will need to add artificial moisturizer to keep it smooth. But this problem affects fewer people than the majority of people who have dehydrated skin. This is when your skin is flaky and falls off. To treat dehydrated skin, you actually need to exfoliate regularly. Exfoliation removes the dead skin cells on the top, and lets your new skin absorb moisture, i.e. water from the air. Using creams stops this process, and your skin will always be dehydrated.

Taking care of your skin is quite simple, because in actual fact you just need to let it take care of itself. Helping your skin once in a while, by removing dead skin cells through skin care treatments, using the right products, and eating healthy can give you youthful skin well in to your 60’s.
