It is a virtual guarantee that all of us will face some type of skin problem in our lives. While skin problems can cause both discomfort and embarrassment, they should not cause any of us to go into hiding. Two of the most common skin problems are acne and eczema.While acne is usually associated with teenagers, it is also prevalent among many adults. In fact, it is estimated that 1 out of every 4 adults will experience acne blemishes. But what exactly causes these outbreaks? Acne can be attributed to a wide variety of factors including hormones, heredity, stress, and medications. However, it is important to note that acne is not caused by any one factor alone. Many people believe that people with acne are "dirty" or eat an excess of fatty or greasy foods, but this is a myth.The simple fact is that acne has nothing to do with your lifestyle or your skin's exterior, and everything to do with what is going on below the surface. When oil gets trapped below the surface of your...

A booming industry, men's skin care is finally making its way to the top of the agenda.

If you do it right, your best makeup is your own skin’s natural glow.Nothing is sexier than healthy skin. Perhaps this is because everything that enhances the appearance (makeup, clothes) eventually has to be removed – that is, except skin: which is probably why so many people spend so much on skin care products. These products command a huge share of the amount spent on personal care and cosmetics. Spending for skin cosmetic procedures (like Dermabrasion and Botox) came to almost $2 billion in the past years.Believe it or not, you still can have great skin without spending a great amount of money on lotions, moisturizers and fancy treatments like chemical peels.

Age spots are also referred to as liver spots, sun spots, or lentigo. These are flat, tan, brown, or dark brown spots appearing on the body of aging people, especially on the back of their hands. But these also appear on forearms, neck, chest, legs, and face. Age spots are most commonly observed in people over fifty-five. Some senior citizens who tan extensively also develop age spots over the shoulders and back. By their nature, age spots are collections of melanin (the dark natural pigment of the skin), in the uppermost layer of the skin, the epidermis. Melanin is produced by special cells in the skin called melanocytes. Age spots are flat and individual spots range in size from that of a small pea to a dime. They usually have round outlines and irregular borders. Age spots themselves are not malignant but they do increase the risk of skin cancer to some degree. The most obvious cause of age spots is overexposure to sun. Prolonged exposure to sunlight activates the melanocytes to pro...

Before caring for dry skin you need to know what casues dry skin. Skin that has a low level of sebum (the natural oil produced by skin glands) is called dry skin. It cannot retain moisture and looks parched, feels uncomfortably tight after washing, and in extreme cases, shows chapping and cracking. Wind and very high or low temperature robs the skin of its natural moisture and the skin feels tightly drawn over bones. Dry skin also sometimes flakes. A distinguishing mark of dry skin is a dull appearance that shows clearly on cheeks and around the eyes. However, dry skin may also occur on the shins, hands and sides of the abdomen. The most obvious cause of dry skin is lack of sufficient lubrication from sebum. In some cases, this can be due to genetic conditions. Environmental causes like exposure to sun, cold, cosmetics, chemicals (including harsh soaps), and wind can cause dry skin as well. Another main cause responsible for dry skin is poor nutrition. A diet deficient in vitamin A and...

This is one of the reasons why vitamins and supplements have become household names. An average American needs at least thirteen vitamins to keep the body in good shape and keep everyone going. But do they improve a person’s appearance? The Following Are The Vitamins That Can Greatly Improve A Person’s Appearance:1. Vitamin E.

Good sources of Vitamin E are eggs, tomato juice, apples, avocados, spinach, potatoes, turnips, etc. Having a beautiful skin will definitely improve the appearance of a person. A...

Ancient Chinese proverbs have taught us that beauty is only skin deep. By delving deeper into the soul of a person, you will learn if they are really beautiful.In the movie “The Truth about Cats and Dogs”, Ben Chaplin’s character said: “You know how someone's appearance can change the longer you know them? How a really attractive person, if you don't like them, can become more and more ugly; whereas someone you might not have even have noticed... that you wouldn't look at more than once, if you love them, can become the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?”This is true because real beauty glows from within and is a matter of perception. You do not need to spend a great amount of money for beauty products or artificial procedures to make you look good: it all comes from within. An example is: you undergo liposuction to remove or reduce the fat in your “tummy” but after that is done you find another flaw that you want to correct, etc.It is a vicious cycle where you are ...

Oily skin appears excessively thick and dull colored, usually with coarse pores and pimples. This is because the oil glands of the skin are overactive and oil builds up in the skin, making it prone to the formation of blackheads. A greasy shine of the excess of oil characterizes oily skin. Overall, the skin appears coarse. Many people do not have oily skin but combination skin, meaning oily in some areas but dry or just normal in others. While oily skin has its disadvantages, it has the main advantage that it ages slower than other skin types. Like dry skin, genetic causes are at play in the case of oily skin. Other factors contributing to the development of oily conditions of skin include: diet, hormones, cosmetics, pregnancy (in case of women), contraceptives, and environmental conditions like a hot and humid climate. Since high levels of hormones, especially testosterone, make the oil glands over active, oily skin is more frequently seen in teenage years. The same reason accounts fo...

Dry skin can be a blessing but more often it is troublesome. Those with dry skin generally need not worry about blemishes except for the occasional stray that appears from hormonal changes or stress. But dry skin looks dull and flaky. And worse, it can emphasize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.Age and the environment are two factors that contribute to this skin type. Over time, the sebaceous glands within the dermis layer slow their production of sebum, the body's natural moisturizer. The skin's ability to retain moisture also lessens as we grow older. This is caused by the breakdown of the intracellular matrix, the collagen and elastin layer that helps hold skin tissue together. When this layer begins to break apart, it becomes more difficult for skin to hold in moisture. As moisture escapes, skin becomes drier.Other causes of dry skin include climates that are arid, windy and dry. Use of harsh soaps and detergents and too much unprotected exposure to the sun's d...

Contrary to what you might have heard, sensitive skin isn't considered a medical condition. When someone says he or she has sensitive skin, it typically means the skin has become irritated, red, swollen and/or itchy as a result of either an environmental condition or use of a certain product. The term is also used to describe changes to a person's skin in response to allergic reactions.Why Can Skin Be Sensitive?Although there are several reasons why skin can be sensitive, the most common is that skin is reacting negatively to a certain product or possibly some combination of products. Think about your daily skin care regime, specifically the number of products you use. Soaps, cleansers, toners, blemish reducers, blemish concealers, foundation, blush, facial masks, after shave lotion – the list never ends! You probably use products that are made by a number of different manufacturers, too. While your intentions are good, some skin cannot tolerate such an assault.Causes Of Sensit...
