Freckles or Dark Patches on Your Cheeks?
Blotchy skin is a common complaint in Asian country. What are the causes?
Cumulative sun damage causes premature aging and pigment formation, this result in sun and age spots. Some people are genetically predisposed to pigmentation like freckles, while melasma ( “the mask of pregnancy”) is due to hormonal changes. Another unique feature of Asian skin is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation in which the skin darkens after injury from, for example, too strong an acid peel. I encounter these conditions daily in my practice.
Any treatment?
Some doctor would need to assess with their patient and discuss the possible options and outcomes. Using a good sun-block will definitely prevent worsening of the pigmentation. You can use creams — a good start although the results are slow. I usually use Photo-rejuvenation which involves an energy source either from light or laser to fragment the pigment under the skin without burning the outer skin layer. Hence, there is no reddening, pain or downtime. Read the rest of this entry »

How To Make A Good Tea?
Step 1 : Water For Tea
Bottled spring water that’s low in calcium. Calcium and chlorine in tap water affect
the natural taste of tea.
Step 2: Water Temperature
Avoid using boiling water — it damages the leaves, affects its aroma and flavor, and reduces the nutrients. The recommended water temperatures for black and oolong tea are 90 to 95 degrees C; for green, yellow and white tea, it is below 70 Celsius.
Step 3: Pre-Brew
Insert a tea strainer into the teapot and rinse with boiling water. Place a teaspoon of tea per cup into the warmed strainer. Let it stand for a few minutes to let the steam develop the leaves’ aroma. Pour in the hot water to start brewing. Read the rest of this entry »
Some Tea Note (Part 2)
Oolong Tea
It is the most common tea served in Chinese restaurants, as a batch of leaves can be steeped up to five times — the third and fourth brews give the best flavor. Reddish- brown when brewed, it is generally stronger, more roasted and full- bodied in taste and aroma than other types of tea.
They are dried naturally before being gently bruised and roasted over charcoal. The Tie Guan Yin is one of the most well-known while the Da Hong Pao is the finest and most expensive. Oolong tea prices vary greatly. Most high-quality oolong teas are made in China’s Fujian province. Read the rest of this entry »
Some Tea Notes (Part 1)
Black Tea
Assam, Earl Grey and western style breakfast – most of the teas that we drink in cafes are single estate or blends of black tea. Infused to a clear shade of dark red, most black teas are hearty and boast the strongest flavors among all tea. As it’s fully oxidized, it can retain its flavor for several years. It also has the highest caffeine level at about 3%. The best black teas are the young shoots of each branch, with silver or golden tips.
Green Tea
Popular for antioxidant properties, the taste ranges from refreshing and mild, to grassy and full-bodies. The golden yellow brew is the most natural tea – freshly plucked leaves are dried and packed without being oxidized; it retains its green color as chlorophyll is not broken down.
