Skin Care

I am one of those unlucky people who suffer from dry skin. This, in fact, is a problem I've had from a very early age. When I was young, I suffered from Eczema, which caused both myself, and my parents, a lot of concern - it was a daily regiment of ointments and bathing in special solutions. I won't go into any horrible details but, needless to say, it was far from pleasant. Nowadays, I'm happy to say, this condition has all but disappeared. The after-effect of this, however, means that most of the time I get very dry skin.

A friend of mine with similar problems, has been using dermatitis treatment with Gloves in a Bottle, and supplementing it with Skin MD Natural shielding lotion. They've reported back great results, so that's something I'm definately going to have to look in to.

Exercise/Massage your Face for a more Youthful Look!

When you’re engaged in your daily facial skincare routine, you might like to consider adding a little bit of exercise to the process.  Whether you call it facial yoga or facial exercises, you should find that spending the small amount of additional time it takes to complete these does help to tone up the muscles in your face, and so help you in a crusade to maintain a youthful appearance.

The exercises only take a few minutes and they are quite simple to complete.  Some of the exercise involve you using your hands/thumbs to stretch the skin – for example sliding your thumbs between the corners of your eyes and your temples (eyes closed of course) to aid in your fight against lines created by crow’s feet, or by shaping your mouth in various poses – such as making an exaggerated kiss or pout to make the muscles work and so tone them up.  There are websites and books that you can look at to see how to do these simple exercises, or if you have a regular facial from a beautician you could ask them to show you any exercises that they think might help with any specific areas you are concerned about.

Although there are mixed opinions as to whether or not these exercises do benefit the skin, if you use a moisturizer at the same time (no skin on your body should be dragged so the cream or lotion will help your hands glide across your face so you can gently stretch it) you are not only doing the exercises, but as you work the exercises, you will work the moisturizer deeper into the skin and so it will hydrate the skin making it plumper.

Whether or not you believe the exercises will work, you will find that they do mean you are giving yourself a mini facial massage, and this has the added benefit of relaxing you.  The massage stimulates the facial blood vessels and relaxes the muscles so that it improves the skin’s elasticity.  This should help you keep any wrinkles or lines at a distance, or improve the appearance of any you already have.  Use an aromatherapy moisturizer for an even more relaxing experience as you exercise and massage your way to younger looking skin.

Anti Aging Injections

There are many ways of helping to maintain your youthfull looks. Creams, diet, changing the very lifestyle you lead is exteem but proven to work. If you however are in a business enviroment where you your time is limited but you have a little more money to spend, you might want to think about having anti aging treatmets, such as botox injections or perlane or restylane. While these are more expensive than creams or exercise (which is free) it certainly takes the hard work out of looking young.
I found an interesting video of about it on you tube, I'll add it below for any of you readers who might consider this as an option.

Effect of Stress on Skin

Stress is a necessary evil of everyone’s life. All of us have to bear stress at one time or other of our’s life. Whether you're stressed about your job, a family member's health, a crumbling marriage or your first child going off to college, stress has a sneaky way of showing up on your face and skin. Think of it as your body's way of communicating what's going on inside to the outside world. There's even a name for it: psychodermatology.

Studies find that stress triggers 62 percent of psoriasis episodes (an inflammatory skin condition), with flares occurring within days of the emotional upset. Most hyperhidrosis episodes (in which you sweat excessively) are related to stress, and 94 percent of episodes in women with rosacea—a skin condition marked by excessive redness and bumps on the face—have an emotional trigger. Thus, you can see the very strong mind/body connection that exists between our emotions and our skin health. The connection is probably related to the immune system and the way it reacts to stress. Short bursts of stress—like those from a good workout—can improve your skin. But, when you're exposed to chronic stress—stress that just won't stop—or a lot of stress all at once, your immune system can get overloaded. The result? Negative effects on your skin. So it's important you learn to recognize the stressors in your life and modify your reactions to them. Relaxation techniques, biofeedback and breathing training can help you cope better with life stresses and reduce their effects on your skin.

Do you have Vitiligo .. leucoderma ?

It is a common skin disorder, in which white spots or patches, caused by destruction or weakening of the pigment cells in those areas, appear on the skin.

The first sign of vitiligo is appearance of white patches or spots (depigmentation) on the skin. The skin remains of normal texture, and there is usually no itching or other symptom. These patches are common in sun-exposed areas, including the hands, feet, arms, legs face, and lips. Other common areas for white patches to appear are the armpits and groin and around the mouth, eyes, nostrils, navel, and genitals.

In addition to white patches on the skin, vitiligo may result in white hair growing in on the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, and beard. In extremely rare cases, vitiligo can affect eye color or the pigment of the retina.

The depigmentation can be either limited to one or only a few areas , or on only one side of the body, or on different parts of the body.

Taking Care of Moles

Most of us have moles some where on our body (including torso, face, arms and legs or at obscure locations such as the scalp, under the nails, in the armpits and around the genitals) they are usually harmless collections of pigmented cells called melanocytes on the skin. Moles can be cancerous in rare cases.

Most moles are harmless and don't require special care. If a mole is irritating or unattractive, however, one can get it removed. All moles that are removed should be examined under a microscope because doctors can't always tell if moles are pre-cancerous or cancerous just by the way they look on the skin. One should monitor moles for changes in size, shape, colour, texture and sensation that may indicate a problem. To take care of moles, the following can be done:

• Avoid sun exposure; apply sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 to minimize the risk of skin cancer.
• Wear the protective clothing like hats, long sleeves to avoid sunrays that damage the skin.
• Makeup can be used to conceal an unattractive mole.
• Some times there is hair on the moles, these can be either trimmed or permanently removed.

Care should be taken while cutting a mole; the area around the mole should be clean. A dermatologist should be consulted if the mole doesn’t heal properly
