Sunshine in a bottle

THIS DELICIOUS LOOKING serum screams sunny days, and reminds me of eating a Frosty Fruit straight after swimming lessons.

Nostalgia aside, it’s also a fabulous brightening serum that packs a powerful (albeit fruity) punch!

It contains three potent forms of antioxidant rich vitamin C and includes pineapple juice, plus pure absorbic acid to combat dark spots, acne scars and pigmentation.

After just a week of using this skincare star, your skin will be glowing, happy and soothed from spending all that time down the beach this summer.

Add to that the fact that the bottle is super cute and will probably steal the show on your bathroom shelf and I’d say we have an a winner. Glow Recipe Pineapple-C Bright Serum, $73 @ Mecca Cosmetica, 1-13 Rokeby Road, Subiaco.

REASONS TO smile

HOW OFTEN WE smile is intrinsically linked to our confidence; and even though we’re all wearing masks right now, having dental treatments to improve your smile is always a good idea.

Let’s be honest, how many of us really like our smiles? If you look at a photo of yourself are you instantly critical of yours? If this sounds like you, The Dentists in Hamersley Road can help.

Muscle relaxants have been used in dental treatments for some time, and The Dentist’s Dr Luvena Tan says they have multiple benefits.

“For a gummy smile this treatment works by relaxing the intended muscle to help achieve a certain function or aesthetic. It can help with a gummy smile by relaxing the muscle that contracts and elevate when you smile,” Dr Tan said.

“It usually takes two weeks for the full effects to kick in. If it’s your first time, we may have to increase the dosage in a follow-up appointment if necessary, as it’s better to give less than too much initially.

“If you’re a suitable candidate we recommend this treatment as it is not an invasive procedure compared to doing a gum lift or orthodontic treatment.

“People with gummy smiles can be self-conscious about smiling to their fullest. This treatment helps them feel confident about smiling widely without baring their gums.”

The Dentists can also help with TMJ joint malfunction; when the muscles and ligaments around your jaw joints become inflamed or irritated, due to issues such as clenching or grinding.

“Muscle relaxant injections help by relaxing the muscles that help to you to chew,” Dr Tan said.

“These muscles get tense when a person is clenching and grinding which can cause discomfort, pain and headaches. These symptoms can be reduced with muscle relaxant injections by reducing the forces exerted by the muscle when a person is grinding or clenching. This also usually takes two weeks for this treatment to take the full effect.

“We always recommend a full examination to assess each case. Case selection is important as not everyone is suitable for muscle relaxant injections, but we’ll definitely help whenever we can.

“At The Dentists, our team is passionate about caring for people and helping them with their oral health journey.” The Dentists, 59 Hamersley Road, Subiaco
