Acne and Congestion
Acne and Congestion
Understanding the Cause of Acne and Congestion
The key to understanding the cause of acne and congestion is looking from within to find the root cause contributing to the excess oil secretion and toxins accumulation.
Besides hormones, another contributing factor is an allergy reaction of the body trying to show on the skin surface.
Acne are toxins expelled on the surface which the root cause could be through external aggressor or ingesting food source that one may not be aware of. As the old saying goes: “We are what we eat.”
Other contributing factors to consider would be the daily lifestyle like sleeping pattern, stress and emotions, and skin care regimen.
Types of Acne Tell the Story
Not all acne and clogs are the same. They manifest in different forms from colour, size, shape, and even texture!
Let us debunk some of the common effects due to excess or pro-longed intake of certain food.
At Carragheen, diet check is one of our analysis we do to understand how your lifestyle can affect your skin!
In the TCM concept, spicy food is classified as “warm/hot” which builds up internal heat in the body. In excess, acne tends to look more inflamed and bigger in size.
After consuming dairy like butter, milk/cheese, some individuals may get clogs which appear white/yellowish. The texture is creamy when the clogs are being extracted.
High sodium food intake results in calcified salt-like surface on the skin. With the lack of water intake, pores are clogged, forming small, hard and white seeds.
Regular fried and oily food intake causes the skin to secrete more sebum. Pores will be clogged with sebum and blackheads over time.

Carragheen is a place that ive repeatedly gone to for my eyelash and facials over the past decade. The staff here do not hard sell products nor services, which provides me with an oasis to look forward to every month. I would always book both eyelash and facial in one session so as to maximise my time efficiently, as i have to rush back to take care of my two toddlers. This is made possible because of Cheryl (facial) and Maine (eyelash), who are two very skilled and experienced beauticians. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

If you are looking for natural looking lash extension, Carragheen is the place to go. Before I came to Carragheen, I had two bad experiences with lash extension at other salons. It always turned out being too dramatic despite my request for natural looking lashes.

Been going to Carragheen for a few years now. It is a very cosy, genuine place. They have my trust over the years. I enjoy going for facials especially. They always start by reviewing my condition and then recommend the treatment best suited for me for that day. They don’t hard sell and never recommend the package just to sell the highest priced one. This is what I love about Carragheen, and its Founder Cherlyn.

Carragheen is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time. I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service.
I always enjoyed my facial and Indiba body treatment in Carragheen, Cherlyn has excellent product knowledge and outstanding skills.
If you’re looking for quality products and excellent service, Carragheen is highly recommended.

I always do Russian, D curl, 9-13 mm lashes with Elly. Booking and rescheduling are easy via WhatsApp. The environment is also usually quite quiet, which is great for introverts like me. It might not be the cheapest lash extension services on the market, but I get quietness, no hardselling of packages, and lashes that last (caveat; one has to maintain the lashes. Can’t expect to be thin if one eats and doesn’t exercise).

Tried out a number of places for lash extensions prior to my visit to Carragheen.
I had Elly do my set. She patiently understood my preferences, inspected my current lashes before recommending and confirming on a lash set. Her skills are superb and has one of the gentlest hands to ever work on my lashes. Coupled with the spacious setting and soothing ambience, I was lulled to sleep and woke up with a feathery light lashes which I was super satisfied with.

I did eye lash extensions for the first time with them. It was such a great experience and pleasure. The therapist reassured and had a sit down session with me to know my needs and likes before she recommend which type of lash I can have. She also throughout the session made sure I was comfortable and pain free and able to sleep in the session. Didn’t know 2 hrs passed very quickly. Will definitely come back for more. The eyelash extensions also lasted more than a month or so. Will definitely recommend Carragheen to my friends. Their promos are worth it.

I’ve been going to Maine for my eyelash extensions for years now, and I’ve never been disappointed. My lashes look natural and last so long. Plus, she’s never trying to upsell anything, which makes the whole experience so comfortable. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my lashes!

I’ve been doing my eyelashes here for the past year and the result is great! They use quality products and spend time explaining the different services to advice you based on your condition. I always get my service done with Elly, she is amazing!

Thank you for your really great service. I really love my henna eyebrows! I love that Carragheen had been very attentive and listened intently with my request and ensure that i am happy with my eyebrows. In addition, the place was also nice and cosy! Can’t wait to book for my next appointment soon with Carragheen.

Had my first eyebrows lamination! I wanted to fix my eyebrows by doing Henna Tint as they are getting too thin. Cherlyn advised me to do eye to lamination instead . The result is amazing. . I love it. Thank you!

I recently moved to SG and was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a reliable place for my brow/lash treatments. It took a lot of research, but I’m so glad I decided to go for Carragheen. I specifically requested for Elly after having read the reviews—her service is the best; she has her way of making you feel comfortable throughout the treatment and makes sure you are satisfied with the results. I’ve already scheduled my next appointment and will certainly keep coming back :)

First time trying the henna brow and lash tint (ndp promo for both @ sgd127) and it was the same day reservation for the slot they have. Very accommodating and lovely experience. Elly made it so comfortable and is knowledgeable in her craft. Very satisfied with the results and appreciated the explanation by the counter staff too!

Been wanting to do henna brow with them since last year! Due to my brow colour last time(henna strokes) so i need to wait till it is fade. Very warm welcome there. Great service by all the ladies. Cheryl (if i spell it correctly) is the 1 that does my brow and she is very good in service. She know what she is doing and gives advise. I would recommend this shop to my friends, colleagues & family! Such a good service and helps me a lot in understanding. Thanks Cheryl will book appointment again with u soon near June!!

I always have this nagging ache around the bottom of my back shoulder blade due to bad sitting posture and I used to do regular full body massage (twice a month), the really hard kind similar to Thai massage, as well as TCM cupping and tuina, yet the ache kept coming back. After I tried the Indiba massage @Carragheen, it releases that nagging ache for close to a month and it was just for 15mins!! It was pain free, really soothing and no bruises!!!
