Ukuvula Ibhokisi Nokuvela Kokuqala: Amamaski wamehlo ayangenaipakishwe ngayinye, amasachethi anyathelisiwe ngezinkanyezi. Imaski ngokwayo ifana nejeli, ifakwe i-collagen kanye nezithako zezitshalo. Lapho eyisebenzisa okokuqala, uSarah wabona umuzwa wokupholisa ngokushesha. “Kwakuzwakala sengathi i-mini – spa yamehlo ami,” kusho yena. Imaski inamathela kahle esikhumbeni samehlo esingaphansi, okuvumela uSarah ukuthi azulazule – okuhle kubantu abamatasa.
Isonto 1: Izinguquko Zokuqala: Ngemva kwesonto lokuqala (esebenzisa imaski kathathu), uSarah waqala ukubona izinguquko ezincane. Isikhumba sakhe esingaphansi kwamehlo sabonakala siqinile kancane. “Ngicabanga ukuthi i-collagen isivele isebenza ukuze ithole amanzi,” uphawula. Ukukhanya okufiphele kwabonakala sengathi kunokukhanya okuncane, nakuba kungelona ushintsho olukhulu. Abagxeki bangase bathi kumane nje kuwukumanzi kwesikhashana, kodwa uSarah wahlala enethemba.
Isonto 2: Ukumanzisa Okujulile Noma I-Placebo? Ngesonto lesibili, indawo kaSarah engaphansi kwamehlo yayibukeka imanzi kakhudlwana. Imigqa emincane eyayibonakala ingabonakali kahle. Abangane baze baphawula bathi, “Ubukeka uphumule kakhudlwana!” Kodwa uSarah wazibuza: ingabe kwakuyimaski noma isonto elihle lokulala nje? Ukuze ahlole, weqa ubusuku obumbalwa bokulala kodwa waqhubeka nemaski. Ngisho nasezinsukwini zokungalali kahle, isikhumba sakhe esingaphansi kwamehlo sasingabukeki sonakele njengakuqala. “Mhlawumbe kukhona okuthile kulokhu kukhulisa i-collagen,” ecabanga.
Isonto 3: Ukulwa Nokucindezeleka Kwemvelo
Isonto lesithathu laletha inselele - isonto lesimo sezulu esishisayo nesomile. Isikhumba sikaSarah, esivame ukuthambekela ekuphelelweni amanzi ezimweni ezinjalo, savivinywa. Esebenzisa imaski yamehlo njalo ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbili, waphawula ukuthi isikhumba sakhe sangaphansi kwamehlo sasihlala sithambile. “Ngangikhathazekile ukuthi umoya owomile uzokwenza amehlo ami angaphansi abukeke ebuthakathaka nakakhulu, kodwa imaski ibonakala ingenawo umswakama,” ubika. Kubonakala sengathi i-collagen ayiyona nje inkulumo yokumaketha kodwa iyisithako esibalulekile ekugcineni ukuqina kwesikhumba.
Isonto 4: Isinqumo: Ngemva kwamasonto amane, isikhumba sikaSarah esingaphansi kwamehlo sishintshe kakhulu. Ubuthuntu buthathelwa indawo ukukhanya okunempilo. Imigqa emincane iyancipha, futhi isikhumba sibukeka siqinile. “Angikaze ngicabange ukuthi imaski yamehlo ingenza lokhu,” ememeza. USarah owayengabaza manje usephenduke umuntu oguqukile.
Sixoxe nodokotela wesikhumba uDkt. Lisa Chen ngesayensi ephathelene namamaski wamehlo e-collagen. “I-Collagen isiza ekuthuthukiseni ukuqina kwesikhumba kanye nomswakama. Uma isetshenziswa phezulu, inganikeza umswakama ngokushesha futhi, ngokusetshenziswa njalo, ingasekela ukukhiqizwa kwe-collagen yemvelo yesikhumba,” echaza. Kodwa-ke, uyaxwayisa, “Imiphumela iyahlukahluka kuye ngomuntu ngamunye, futhi ngezinkinga zesikhumba ezinzima, inhlanganisela yemikhiqizo kanye nokwelashwa kochwepheshe kungadingeka.” Uhambo lukaSarah aluyona nje umkhiqizo owodwa; lumayelana nesifiso somhlaba wonke sokubukeka nokuzizwa kangcono ezweni elimatasa. Imaski yamehlo e-collagen, yize ingeyona ikhambi lomlingo, inikeza ukukhanya kwethemba kulabo abalwa nesikhumba samehlo esibuthakathaka. Njengoba abasebenzisi abaningi babelana ngezindaba zabo, umbuzo othi “Kuthiwani uma le maski yamehlo ivuselela isikhumba samehlo esibuthakathaka?” uphendulwa ngezindaba zempumelelo ezizwakalayo - kanye nezingxoxo ezimbalwa ezinempilo mayelana nezimangaliso zokunakekelwa kwesikhumba. Emakethe egcwele izimangalo zobuhle, le maski yamehlo ikhiphe indawo ngokuletha (kwabaningi, njengoSarah) esithembisweni sayo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi unguchwepheshe omatasa, umzali omusha, noma ubani olwa nemiphumela yendlela yokuphila yesimanje esikhumbeni sakhe, imaski yamehlo ye-collagen ingaba yiqhawe lamehlo obukade ulilindile. Ingabe izokusebenzela? Yinye kuphela indlela yokuthola - futhi uhambo lwakho oluya esikhumbeni samehlo esikhanyayo nesivuselelwe lungaqala ngesikhwama esisodwa.
