"Unesikhumba esingenasici!" noma "Iyini inqubo yakho yokunakekelwa kwesikhumba?" yimishwana emibili engingakaze ngicabange ukuthi othile uyoke athi kimi. Kodwa ekugcineni, ngemva kweminyaka yezinduna ezinenkani, mina nesikhumba sami sinokuthula futhi abantu bayaqaphela. Angikwazi ukuthatha ikhredithi ephelele, noma kunjalo; konke kubonga isazi sami sobuhle. Futhi kuzofanele nginamathele kokuthi "ngiyabonga" ngoba ukuqabula izinyawo zakhe akuhambisani ngempela nemikhawulo ye-COVID.

Ngiqale ngathatha isinqumo sokubona isazi sobu-esthetician ngoba ngizoshada kungekudala futhi bengifuna ukugcina incazelo ethi "ikhekhe" ngophudingi, hhayi ukwakheka kwami. Kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yikuphi ukugeza ubuso noma i-serum noma i-moisturizer engiyizamile, angikwazanga ukunyakazisa ama-breakout. Isilevu sami nesiphongo kwakuhlale kuyifekthri yezinduna, futhi ngemuva kwesikhathi eside igunya lemaski eliwubhubhane selisusiwe, ngangisazabalaza nemaskandi. Ngakho-ke, ngiphathe ukuthola isazi sami se-esthetician njengoba ngiphatha ezinye izinto eziningi: usesho olubanzi lwe-Google nokukhetha inketho engabizi kakhulu, okungiholele ku-Glowbar.

"Wonke umuntu ongena ngokujwayelekile ukhetha iGlowbar ngoba sinikeza ukwelashwa okujwayelekile, kepha futhi sikhiphe nobuso ebusweni ngakho-ke busebenza kahle kakhulu," kusho uRachel Liverman, ongumnikazi wama-esthetician onelayisense nomsunguli nomphathi we-Glowbar eNew York City. U-Liverman udale imodeli ye-Glowbar ukuthi ibe lula kakhulu; ubhukha ama-aphoyintimenti amaminithi amaminithi angama-30 ngo- $ 55, ngaphandle kwezengezo ezingeziwe noma izindleko zokumangala, ngenkathi usazenzela ngezifiso ngokuphelele izidingo zesikhumba sakho. (Uma uke wayothenga ubuso futhi waba namahloni ngesikhumba sokhiye ophansi wasebenzisa amakhulu amadola ekwelapheni okungeziwe, uyazi ukuthi lokhu kushintsha igeyimu okungakanani.) Ngomongo, amanani obuso kwenye indawo ngokuvamile isukela ku-$40-$50 ngemizuzu engu-30 "yokuveza" yobuso kufika ku-$200-$250 (noma ngaphezulu) ukuze uthole ukwelashwa okuyimizuzu engama-90 kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe bamafancier nemikhiqizo, ngokusho kwedatha evela kuThumbtack, inkundla ekuvumela ukuthi uqashe ochwepheshe nganoma yini ukuhlanza indlu kuya kumasaji.

I-FYI, i-esthetician ayifani ncamashi nokubona udokotela wesikhumba - kunendawo yabo bobabili esimisweni sakho, kepha bangasebenza ngezinhloso ezahlukahlukene. Ukuvakashela udokotela wesikhumba kuhlale kuwumqondo omuhle ukuthola isheke lesikhumba minyaka yonke, uxazulule noma yiziphi izimpawu ezintsha zesikhumba noma ukusabela, noma uphathe noma yiziphi "izinkinga ezinkulu ngesikhumba sakho njengamavukuzane abukeka emnandi noma izimo zesikhumba zangempela ezingelashwa kuphela ngemithi kadokotela noma uhlobo oluthile lokwelapha," kusho u-Liverman. Ama-estheticians, ngakolunye uhlangothi, angakusiza ukuthi ubhekane nezinto zesikhumba ezisebenza kakhulu ezibandakanya induna, i-hyperpigmentation, ukuzwela nokuguga, futhi unikeze ngempendulo ehambisanayo yokuthi ungasinakekela kanjani isikhumba sakho. (Akulula ngempela ukuthola isikhathi esimisiwe sanyanga zonke nesikhumba sakho ukuze uxoxe ngemikhiqizo yokunakekela isikhumba.)

Kulokhu, nginqume ukubonana nodokotela we-esthetician ngokumelene nodokotela wesikhumba ngenxa yokuthi izinkinga zami zezinduna zazisezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu. Ngake ngabona odokotela besikhumba phambilini bezinduna, futhi bancoma ukuthi ngigqoke izimonyo ezimbalwa esikhundleni sokunginika umuthi onamandla, kepha ngazizwa sengathi kukhona okunye okudlalayo. Ngemuva kokuzama ukukuthola ngedwa, bekuyisikhathi sokuthola izeluleko komunye uchwepheshe wokunakekelwa kwesikhumba. ULiverman uthe amakhasimende amaningi azizwa ngaleyo ndlela ngaphambi kokungeza isazi sobuhlakani eqenjini labo lokuzinakekela.

Phakathi nokuvakasha kwami ​​kokuqala e-Glowbar, ngatshela isazi sami se-esthetician, "Nginesikhumba esibucayi kakhulu, futhi ngiphuma ngaso sonke isikhathi, ngakho ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ngiyazikhipha nsuku zonke." Ngikhumbula ngizizwa ngiziqhenya ngokwedlulele ngami ngaleli thuba, cishe kube sengathi ngithi, "bheka, ngenze umsebenzi wami wesikole - ngicela unginike inkanyezi yegolide!" Khombisa ukwethuka ebusweni bakhe. Uphefumulele phezulu wabe esechaza ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ukukhishwa kwami ​​ngokweqile obekungikho ukubangela ukuphuma. Lokho, nami isikhwama sezigidiisinyathelo sokunakekela isikhumba. Ungibuze uhlu lwemikhiqizo yokunakekelwa kwesikhumba engiyisebenzisile, wabe esedlula into ngayinye futhi wachaza ukuthi yimiphi imikhiqizo okufanele ngiyilahle, engingaqhubeka ngiyisebenzise nsuku zonke, nokuthi ngiyisebenzise ezinsukwini ezimbalwa. Isibonelo, wangitshela ukuthi ngiphuze i-vitamin C serum yami ikhefu ngoba konke ukukhipha okuhlanganiswe ne-acid ekuso kwakucasula isikhumba sami. (Bheka: Izimpawu Usebenzisa Imikhiqizo Yobuhle Eningi Kakhulu)

Uma bekungiduduza umkhuba wami omubi, ngifunde ukuthi angingedwa ephutheni lami. "Amaphesenti angaphezu kwama-75 kuya kwangama-80 wamakhasimende angena emnyango ukuze athole ukwelashwa okokuqala agcwele ngokweqile ekhaya," kusho uLiverman. Ngenxa yalokhu, abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi banesikhumba "esibucayi", kanti empeleni, babangela ukuzwela okushiwo. Elinye iphutha elijwayelekile? Ukuthenga ibhodlela elihamba phambili noma elihle kunawo wonke eshalofini ngaphandle kokwazi ukuthi leyo mikhiqizo ilungile ngempela yini esikhunjeni sakho, noma uma ingase isabele neminye imikhiqizo esimisweni sakho, kusho uLiverman. (Kulelo nothi, uyasidinga ngempela ifriji yokunakekela isikhumba?)

Ngeke ngiqambe amanga, ngemuva kokufunda zonke lezi zeluleko, ngazizwa nginamahloni - kodwa futhi ngakhululeka ngokuthi ngangisesandleni esihle. Bengingazi ukuthi ngibe yimalini, ngingalinge ngithi, ngikhohliswe ukuthenga imikhiqizo ngenxa yokukhangisa okunobuhlakani nokumaketha okusemfashinini. Futhi, akuvamile ukuthi usebenzise isevisi lapho ushiya khona kuthiwa uyothenga abambalwa imikhiqizo esikhundleni sokuningi. (Ukuphefumula umoya omusha, ngiqinisile?)

Ngokuya nge-esthetician oya kuyo, ungalindela izindlela ezahlukahlukene zokwelashwa nezinsizakalo ezingaba lula noma zibe yinkimbinkimbi ngendlela ongathanda ngayo. Ukugcina imodeli yemizuzu engama-30 kaGlowbar, abahlinzeki ngezinsizakalo ezinezinaliti noma ama-lasers njengamanye ama-studio, ama-spas, nama-salon. U-Liverman ufanisa ukuqokwa kwe-Glowbar nokuzivocavoca ngoba isazi sobuqili sizoqala "ngokuzifudumeza" okufishane, ngokuhlola izidingo zesikhumba sakho ngalolo suku. Bese kulandela ingxenye esebenza kanzima yokuqokwa. Lokho kungaba yindlela yokukhipha i-exfoliating, i-extractions, noma imaski epholisayo. Ukukhipha kube yingxenye ewusizo kakhulu yohambo lwami oluya e-Glowbar ngoba nginenkinga yokungakhethi ama-zits ami. Kodwa-ke, uma uvula ama-pimples akho kungadala izibazi ze-acne noma kubi nakakhulu ukuqubuka. Udokotela we-esthetician uqeqeshelwe ukukhipha kahle i-sebum endumbeni, ukugwema ukutheleleka nezibazi. . induna. Bangase bakubeke ngaphansi kwemaski ye-LED ebomvu yokwelashwa kokuguga noma imaski ye-LED eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka yezinduna. Bese kuba nengxenye "epholile" yeseshini lapho uxoxa ngokuthi indlela yakho yokunakekela isikhumba ekhaya kufanele ibe yini.

Lapho ngiqala ukuya e-Glowbar, isazi se-esthetician sasiphatha isikhumba sami esikhishwe kakhulu ngamamaski athambisayo futhi sisebenzise imaski ye-LED eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ebusweni bami ukuze ngilashwe izinduna. Ngemuva kokuqokwa kwami ​​kokuqala, ngezwa umehluko ngokushesha esikhunjeni sami, ngenxa yazo zombili izindlela zokwelashwa kanye nangenqubo yami eyenziwe lula ekhaya - futhi isikhathi ngasinye lapho ngibuyela emuva kuba ngcono nakakhulu. Manje, izinyanga eziyisikhombisa ebudlelwaneni bami obunothando ne-Glowbar, ngithola ukukhishwa okuvamile, ama-peel amakhemikhali alula, futhi ngiphumelele kumaski obomvu we-LED. Ngesikhathi sokuqokwa kwami ​​muva nje, ngeqe okokukhishwa futhi ngazama i-dermaplaning, okuyinto yokwelapha esusa ukwakheka kwesikhumba esifile nezinwele zobuso ezinhle ngensingo. (I-Dermaplaning empeleni yindlela abanye osaziwayo abanjengoGabrielle Union, abathola ngayo ibala elingenasici.) Into ayintandokazi ka-Liverman angayithola lapho eya e-Glowbar ikhasi lamakhemikhali. "Sinezinhlobonhlobo [zamakhasi], enye yazo eye-hyper-pigmentation, futhi ngishiya kubukeka sengathi ngigwinye isibani," kusho yena. "Kwenza isikhumba sakho sikhanye futhi sikhazimule kakhulu futhi ngithanda ngisho ithoni lesikhumba ukudlula noma yini."

Uma ungakaze ucabange ukubona i-esthetician noma ungaqiniseki ukuthi kufanelekile, uLiverman ukufanisa nomqondo wokuzinikeza ukuhlanza amazinyo. "Ubungeke uhlanze amazinyo akho ekhaya, ngakho-ke noma ngabe uyakwazi ukukhokhela isazi sezidakamizwa kuphela kabili ngonyaka [njengoba ubungakwenza kudokotela wamazinyo], yenza lokho. Okwamanje, geza ubuso bakho, ugcobe ubuso, futhi usebenzise i-SPF njalo ngosuku olulodwa lonyaka - izinsuku ezingama-365, "usho kanje. Usebenzela ukukhulisa iGlowbar ezweni lonke, kepha uma ungenayo eduze kwakho, khuluma nanoma yimuphi umeluleki ohlonishwayo, wendawo ngezidingo zakho zokunakekelwa kwesikhumba nokulindelwe.

Ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa kuphela, angizange ngifunde nje kuphela ngemibono eminingi eyiphutha ngesikhumba sami, kodwa sengiyibonile imiphumela emikhulu. Eqinisweni, ngigqoke nezimonyo ezingaphansi (kufakwe i-mascara, ngenxa yethinti le-eyelash yakamuva). Futhi uma ungakwazi ukubona nhlobo isazi sobuhle bama-esthetician - indlela engiyithathile enkulu kunazo zonke ngukuthi: Uma ungabaza, gcina inqubo yakho elula, futhi ungathengi umkhiqizo ngoba muhle.
