How to Protect Your Skin From Ageing

Monday 20 October 2008 @ 7:37 am

In order to help prevent the skin from becoming dry it needs to be moisturised and this is even more so as the skin starts to age, because when this process begins the glands with the skin are producing fewer oils than previously.

There are a number of reasons why a person can develop dry skin and it is not always possible to find the reasons why. Some of the common reasons include exposing the skin to water for a long period of time. This would happen when a person is taking a long hot bath or a long shower. A lot of people are under the impression that water will help to keep the skin soft and supple, and there is nothing wrong with this thought process, especially when you take into account the fact that the body is nearly 70% water.

But sadly the opposite is the case, as this causes any essential oils to be stripped from the surface of the skin and this is what will cause dryness to appear. If you do like to take your showers and your baths you need to make sure that you are sealing in the moisture afterwards and in order to do this you need to be using a good body lotion on the skin. This should be used when the surface of the skin is a little damp so as to retain any moisture content. And this is the key to preventing the skin from becoming dry.

A lot of people find that their skin is one of their most prized assets and if the skin is not healthy then this can cause a lot of people to have a level of self esteem and this is because the skin and the face in particular, are on constant display for the world to see, and you want to be able to make a good impression to all that you meet.

It is not just a case of finding a good skin care routine you need to make sure that your skin and body is obtaining essential nutrients and vitamins and whilst there are some vitamin enriched creams and lotions, you best source for vitamins is from the foods that you are eating.

Speaking of food, there is another important factor that you need to consume on a daily basis and that is water. This is essential in order to keep the body hydrated which in turn will keep the skin hydrated. You need to be drinking sufficient levels of water because the body supplies water to the main internal organs first and the skin last, which is why there can be times when it does not always look its best.

It was mentioned before that you should avoid excessive contact with water and you need to pay special attention to your hands as these are frequently in touch in with water, from the times you are washing your hands and also washing any dishes. Where possible and where appropriate you should wear gloves that will keep your skin away from water, and if it is the case that your hands are dry and cracked then you need to be investing in a hand cream that is going to be effective for all seasons.

The Perfect Age-Defying Product

Sunday 19 October 2008 @ 10:39 pm

The prospect of growing old and wrinkly is understandably frightful for most young women. Some of us simply cannot imagine ourselves being at that physical state. We vow to exert all that we can to keep from being old and unsightly. And so for vanity sake (and sanity), we scour the jar-lined shelves of our drugstores and pharmacies in search for the perfect age-defying product.

An anti-wrinkle cream is the best preventive measure for wrinkles. Wrinkles are fine lines or deep furrows that form in the areas surrounding our eyes, mouth and neck. These lines result from excessive sun exposure as well as exposure to certain environmental conditions. As we age, facial skin becomes dryer and less elastic due to the breakdown of elastin and collagen in our inner dermis. Skin cells are also less apt to regenerate as we grow older. The appearance of these lines is inevitable as we grow old. But, these can be prevented from showing prematurely by the use of an anti-wrinkle cream.

Drugstores and pharmacies carry entire lines of beauty and cosmetic products that claim to put an end to your search for the perfect anti-wrinkle cream. How do you know which anti-wrinkle cream is the best product for your skin? You normally do not get a straight answer to this question. There are several things you should consider when choosing an anti-wrinkle cream. Do not be duped into buying an anti-wrinkle cream just because the sales person talked you into it.

Only buy an anti-wrinkle cream from a company that is reputable. You can get corporate information about these companies from the internet just by using your search engines. Some start up companies, in the absence of a clear track record, would publish scientific studies that were conducted to test their products. They also have testimonials from test users. If you do decide to try an anti-wrinkle cream from a start up company, check to see if they have a return policy or a money-back guarantee. Your decision, however, of using an anti-wrinkle cream or any other beauty product from a start up company should not be based on the return policy alone. Your first and foremost considerations should be the ingredients of the anti-wrinkle product and the ease of use.

An anti-wrinkle cream should contain moisturizers. Our facial skin gets damaged and wrinkled due to dehydration. When it is hydrated, skin cells remain plump under our skin making our face look smooth and supple. Anti-oxidants as well as vitamins and minerals are also essential components of any anti-wrinkle cream. These feed your skin cells with the necessary nutrients for self-repair and rejuvenation. These combat the effects of free radicals that go haywire and cause skin degradation.

The perfect age-defying product for you is the product that best fits your needs. It is the product that works especially well for you in terms of physical results and in terms of personal satisfaction or the way you feel after using the product. Once you have found your trusted skin care partner, go ahead and reach for your anti-wrinkle cream, and sleep soundly and peacefully knowing that you have staved off the signs of aging from showing in your face for about half a decade more.

Natural and Organic Skincare Products and What They Can Do For You

Sunday 19 October 2008 @ 12:38 am

Once upon a time the business of shopping was very simple, but now it seems that purchasing even the most everyday of products requires a long period of squinting at a big list printed in small font, trying to remember whether parabens were good or bad, essential oils to be avoided or welcomed, ginger extract suitable for muscle cramps or not.

Unlike natural and organic skincare products, many of the intensively branded, expensively marketed, high profile products subsidise their marketing budgets by using liberal quantities of chemicals and synthetics, often to extent a products lifespan (allowing the shipping between factory and shop shelf to be unhurried) or to perfume a product that would otherwise smell of burning plastic or chemical death.

Whilst analogies between the food industry and the skin care industry are not perfect - after all, one does not have to be a incurable cynic to suggest that some of the big brand food manufactures out there use more dubious ingredients than we might like – what is certainly true is that the privileging of organic, or at least relatively additive free foods has not entirely crossed over in consumer’s attitudes toward skincare.

This is crazy, because our body absorbs around sixty percent of everything that we place on our skin, meaning that ingredients in our creams and lotions become just as cosy to us as the food we eat.

For this reason more and more people are turning their attention away from the well advertised, but not entirely beneficially constructed, big brands and taking the time to find out about the benefits of various natural and organic ingredients. Whereas a couple of years there was the assumption that the more ingredients a product had contained within it the better it was for us, now the tide is shifting, and many of us are aware that a well produced and packaged product consisting of a few genuinely beneficial natural or organic products can far better meet the needs of our skin than it’s chemically cousins.

An example of a fantastic natural skin product is Scin Boutique’s very own This Works Deep Calm Bath and Shower Gel. Rather than other, non natural shower gels that we can choose to lather onto our body, our This Works products work their magic thanks to the fantastic natural properties of the plants that we use as ingredients. In the case of our Deep Calm shower gel, lavender – grown at high altitude in France – is used for its antibacterial properties, as well as for its calming and relaxing scent.

In addition wild camomile, grown in Morocco, is used in combination with vetivert for their calming and soothing properties (anyone who has ever enjoyed a cup of camomile tea will attest to its relaxing properties).

Another great body wash on the market which utilizes the power of natural ingredients is the Green People Nourishing Body Wash.

This product uses ylang ylang and ginger for their natural uplifting properties, and avoids parabens and other artificial fragrances that can lead to the ‘chemical cocktail’ – the unpleasant thought of many different chemicals penetrating and remaining in our bodies.

Natural Skincare, Oxygen and Hydrogen Peroxide

Sunday 19 October 2008 @ 12:31 am

The numerous different uses of some synthetic ingredients utilized by the cosmetics industry says much about those products, and goes someway into explaining why natural and organic skincare products are now replacing them on our bathroom shelves and dressers.

Who would have thought, for example, that a compound also used as a propellant for submarines, in the making of glow sticks, as a dye for paper, and as an odour controller in sewerage facilities would ever find its way into a skincare product?

But that’s just what Hydrogen Peroxide has done, and many people now use its disinfecting qualities for the treatment of acne. Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent, the opposite of the antioxidants that have become well liked in everything from skincare products to herbal teas, and the way it works is by adding an extra, highly volatile oxygen molecule onto the skin layer which damages the anaerobic (i.e. functioning without air) bacteria that cause acne.

As well as being oxidizing – which is generally thought to be bad for the skin – Hydrogen Peroxide is known to cause free radical damage because of the instability of the oxygen molecule that is introduced to the skin.

Organic and natural products can be used instead of this boisterous chemical. Tea Tree Oil, which is contained in many organic and natural products, is a fantastic cleanser. In its essential oil form Tea Tree can be brushed directly onto problem areas (with a cotton wool bud) or diluted into water and used to wash in.

In addition, Lavender water and Aloe Vera (which is a good moisturiser, and therefore great to combat the common problem of acne prone skin becoming over dried) are ingredients that someone with this kind of skin should look out for, along with lemon essential oil, lavender essential oil and cypress essential oil.

There are a number of natural skincare products on the market that carry a number of exfoliating facial cleansers that can help problem skin. As opposed to their non-natural counterparts, these products use their natural properties to gently protect skin against blemishes. One fantastic product in this regard is the Suki Exfoliating Lemongrass Cleanser, which is made with chamomile and vitamin C…as well as lemongrass. This cleanser effectively removes the layer of dead skin cells that can lead to acne, and gently stimulates the new layer to grow.

An alternative product available on the natural and organic skincare market is the Circaroma Skin Gentle Facial Cleansing Drops for Sensitive Skin. This product is a gentle cleaner that uses rose otto, the ‘complete’ essential oil that is formed with the re-adding of the phenyl ethyl alcohol to the ‘incomplete oil’ that is created during the water distillation process. It addition, these cleansing drops contain a natural perfume – patchouli – which has been used for centuries longer than the parabens of which so much has been written of late.

The movement away from synthetic ingredients doesn’t represent a regression into an imagined pre-industrialized golden-era, but a stance against those companies that have profited by spending their money on branding at the cost of the ingredients that make up their products.

Why Use Wrinkle Cream?

Friday 17 October 2008 @ 6:27 pm

Wrinkle cream is a very effective anti-aging cure for the face as it is been used to decrease fine lines and light to modest wrinkles. These particular anti-aging creams will act on the skin surface in order to make the skin smooth and younger looking. For most part, the anti wrinkle creams have been designed to eradicate part of surface skin and after that allow original skin cells to form. Anti-aging changes are not as dramatic as compared to more drastic treatments such as chemical peels and dermabrasion.

Results with wrinkle creams are not always the same. What can work well for one person might not work at another. Some wrinkle cream products do not work at all. Part of this quandary is because some of the ingredients in the creams while providing moisturizing or other benefits, don’t actually address the problem of wrinkles. This can be very frustrating for people that are expecting wrinkle reducing benefits.

The best course of action is to try various over counter wrinkle creams to see what works good. For stronger prescription wrinkle creams, a doctor, dermatologist or plastic surgeon can be consulted to find the ideal approach for your particular situation. In this particular case, monitoring by physician is necessary because of greater odds of side effects.

Before trying other more drastic procedures to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles, do some research. Cosmetic surgery is very popular but is not without side and after affects. Apart from expense involved for eradicating wrinkles in this way, think about the risks as well. Creams too may have side effects if you have an allergic reaction to one or more of the ingredients. You have to be careful and either know what you might be allergic to before you purchase or make sure there is a money back guarantee and test the product on a small area first.

All areas which are exposed to the sun, are the first to get wrinkles. These are some signs that demonstrate that after few years rest of your body, like neck, chest, shoulders, back, thighs, feet, and so on will also start showing wrinkles. Thus, you must become careful if you would like to prevent wrinkles. Although most wrinkle creams are for the face and neck, there are some whole body products.

Every day after taking a bath you can use wrinkle cream depending on the skin condition. Make sure that you spread the cream on and thoroughly massage it in so that the skin absorbs it totally. You will see the skin is becoming soft and smooth again over time. The skin in all areas of the body can become less wrinkled and glowing all over.

Try to find wrinkle creams that include a sun blocker ingredient, or else you will need to put sun block over the wrinkle cream. Don’t counteract the benefits of your wrinkle cream by allowing the sun to damage the skin you are trying to make more youthful.

Finally, start using the products well before deep lines and wrinkles begin to develop and you will have a much better chance of controlling them in the future.

Wrinkle Cream Pros and Cons

Thursday 16 October 2008 @ 10:47 am

Do you know you can get some of the same results with wrinkle cream as you can with a face-lift or botox? In complete honesty, the wrinkle cream will not produce results as fast as the face lift, but those results can also be much better than face lift or botox injection!

Some Reasons Why Wrinkle Cream is Better!

Cheaper

When did you spend thousand dollars on the cosmetic facial wrinkle cream? Has wrinkle cream ever charged that much? NO!

Face-lifts, and botox injections, will cost you thousands of dollars, while the use of a wrinkle cream will cost you but small part of that every year! Plus the fact that you require more than one botox injections or face-lifts to keep your wrinkle free. Plus you also have one large expenditure.

No Pain and Discomfort

It does not matter what you would like to call it, the cosmetic surgery is actually a SURGERY! Do not expect a painless and extremely pleasant experience, it will not be. Not just can there be a large amount of uneasiness, but a few people must in fact take painkillers after procedure. Not to mention the possibility of complications or infections.

Long Lasting Effects

The botox injections and face-lifts are not unending. They will not keep your face wrinkle free eternally, nor will they guard your face from the skin damage that is brought on by the wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet. However, providing you continue to employ deep wrinkle cream, wrinkles may stay away and your face can remain beautiful and apparently decades younger.

Few of these given treatments have all benefits and no risks, plus they are expensive, uncomfortable and non-permanent.

How and Where To Get Best Wrinkle Cream

As far as purchasing wrinkle cream, you cannot just rely on the department stores. Because they just do not have the type of quality stock, which most online or else specialized retailers do; thus, options are brutally limited. Check online and begin browsing through many wrinkle cream sites, which are out there for you.

It is significant to remember the fact that many online retailers are like department stores. It means you will not likely get the money’s worth if you just pick out first wrinkle cream that you spot. As an alternative, the smart thing you can do is study through the many reviews and recommendations generally strewn throughout website. And, you must also keep in mind not to believe the everything you read, as a few opinions can be somewhat “compelled” by wrinkle cream companies.

Evaluate the opinions and reviews that you read as whole and after that decide whether it makes sense or not. If you think that wrinkle cream is fine for test run, then purchase it — if not, there are many other places from where you can buy from.

Many online retailers offer trials and money back guarantees, which can enable you to try without risk. How many local retailers will allow you to use a product for a month then ask for your money back?

Tools That Every Serious Skin Care Kit Should Have

Wednesday 15 October 2008 @ 8:07 pm

Are you someone who is concerned about looking good? Is skin care an essential part of your daily routine? If you’re someone who is serious about skin care, your skin care kit should already have the essentials. But do you really know what every serious skin care kit needs? If not, read on.

These days a lot of people are concerned with looking good. The “beauty” industry has grown exponentially because of the demand for beauty products that can reverse the damage inflicted by time, and quite a bit of money and effort have been put into researching sustainable methods of enhancing or even just maintaining natural beauty. As such, the market is saturated with an inundation of preventive beauty products and even products that tout to be “miracle cures” that has the ability to restore one’s youth and vitality. With so many choices, how can you tell what you really need, and how can you separate the good from the bad? Here are just some of the essential that every woman’s skin care kit should have.

Eye cream. Because the skin around your eyes are thinner and more delicate than any other part of your face, it is important that you invest in a good eye cream to protect this particular area from being subjected to elements that might cause the skin to wrinkle. Elements such as the sun and free radicals tend to negatively affect the production of collagen, which is a protein that maintains the skin’s firmness. The breakdown of this protein results in the loss of elasticity of the skin, and therefore wrinkles and fine lines would start to appear.

Sunscreen. Sun damage is one of the leading causes of skin aging, and it has been proven that prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultra violet rays will result in skin cancer. So it is absolutely vital that one of the products that should be included in your skin care kit is a good sunscreen. You can either use a sunscreen on its own, or find a facial moisturizer that already has an adequate SPF included. These type of facial moisturizers tend to have a more make-up friendly, more luxurious texture than usual sunscreens, so it is quite possible for you to look good while you protect your skin at the same time.

Vitamin E cream. Vitamin E is rich in antioxidants, and helps in the battle against free radicals, offering protection against pollutants and toxins in the environment. This particular vitamin also aids greatly in enhancing and maintaining the immune system. When combined with a daily moisturizer, a vitamin E cream can boost your body’s intake of antioxidants and vitamins that are required for repairing skin tissues and the prevention of skin cell damage. Vitamin E also helps in the rejuvenation of deteriorating cells by providing the necessary substances that nourish and encourage cell growth.

So does your serious skin care kit contain these 3 basic necessities? Obviously there are many other tools and products that complete a skin care kit, but with these 3 basic tools, it’s enough to get you started, and you can never go wrong with these 3 basic tools.

Skin Care For Oily Skin - Reducing Excessive Oil Production

Wednesday 15 October 2008 @ 8:00 pm

Oily skin is a real cosmetic problem. At some point or other, most people would have experienced oily skin because of overactive glands that produce too much sebum – the oil that is produced in skin. The overproduction of sebum causes greasy looking skin and clogged pores, and humid conditions – be it because of the summer or the locale you’re in – make it even worse with all that sweat. People with excessively oily skin may also have another problem to contend with: acne. So for those of you suffering from this problem and are looking for solutions to skin care for oily skin, this article will shed some light on how you can reduce excessive oil production in your skin.

First of all let’s get to the culprit of oily skin: sebum. What is sebum? It is the oil produced in the sebaceous glands, which are found on many parts of the body, most of which open into hair follicles. The production of sebum decreases with age, and in the case of women, it reduces with menopause. The reason most acne problems are experienced by adult males is because males produce more sebum than females.

So knowing this, how can we reduce excessive sebum production? There are some who believe in products made to control the production of oil that increases sebum production. Others believe that excess sebum can be dried using blotting oils, thus reducing sebum production. The truth is, oil control products do not reduce sebum production, and using blotting oils only remove surface oil.

Actually all you really need is adhere to the simplest skin care regime. Washing too much too often will expose you to bacteria, as you’ll be removing the acid mantle – the mixture of skin secretions on the surface of the skin, whose acidic properties protect the skin from bacteria. The removal of the acid mantle would then make it easier for bacteria to attack your skin. However that does not mean you shouldn’t wash your face at all, because then you’re back to square one. You need to find the right balance of care when dealing with skin care for oily skin.

Fact is there are no surefire solutions to completely stop the problem of oily skin. However there are products out there which can help in the maintenance of it. Products like AHAs and oil blotting papers help in removing excess oils on the skin’s surface. AHAs – Alpha Hydroxy Acids – help exfoliate dead skin cells and remove excess oils from the skin. Oil blotting papers also help significantly in removing and reducing surface oil on the skin. Some have the misconception that oil blotting papers can help stop oil production, but this is not true as the blotting papers only help on the surface, and the production of oil happens beneath the surface of the skin. Some of the better quality oil blotting papers are coated with powder that helps absorb more sebum and keeps the skin dry.

There are many other ways of reducing excessive oil production in the skin. While you may be concerned over skin care for oily skin, be careful when perusing the internet for solutions or advice on how to deal with such problems. Articles such as this should not be a substitute for professional medical advice, as they are only meant as an informative guide for you to take that first step in skin care solution. Consult your physician before following any tip you may have read about or for any medical concerns.

Easily Irritated Skin? Skin Care For Sensitive Skin

Wednesday 15 October 2008 @ 7:53 pm

Is your skin showing signs of redness and irritation after you’ve used a particular skin care product? If so, you probably have sensitive skin. Some symptoms of sensitive skin include: tightening or tingling of the skin, unseen signs of skin discomfort; overreaction of the skin to things like stress, shaving; and drying and recurring irritation of the skin. Certain skin care products aggravate these symptoms. So if you’re looking for tips on skin care for sensitive skin, read on.

If you have sensitive skin then perhaps it’s time you change your skin care routine. Read the label of your current skin care product. Does it have “hypoallergenic” or “for sensitive skins” written on the label? If not, dump it. Before purchasing any skin care products, you need to look out for labels that overtly mention the fact that it is safe for sensitive skin.

Read the ingredients list. Products that contain alcohol, chemicals, additives, and other synthetic ingredients may aggravate sensitive skin, so choose products that have natural organic ingredients like aloe. All natural or organic skin care products can be found just as easily as those containing alcohol, so it shouldn’t be a problem trying to find the right skin care product for sensitive skin in your local drugstores or department store cosmetics counter, or anywhere else that skin care products can be commonly found and purchased.

Now moving onto your skin care routine, it is advisable that you use a makeup remover before proceeding to wash your face. If you have sensitive skin, you should choose a makeup remover that is soap-free. Again, keeping the first point in mind, look out for products with labels such as “for sensitive skin” or “gentle on skin”. These would probably be the better choice for your sensitive skin, but should you have any doubts, clarify them with a knowledgeable sales assistant of the cosmetic department of the store.

Once you’ve purchased that new makeup remover, what you need to keep in mind is do not use a washcloth to apply it to your skin. This is because washcloths can be abrasive on your skin, especially on sensitive skins, and tends to irritate the skin. Use a soft cotton swab instead. Apart from washcloth, there are other abrasives that you should avoid, such as exfoliating scrubs with granules, no matter how tiny they might be. These granules can be too hard on sensitive skin, and you’ll risk irritating your skin more than exfoliating it. Consider a cleanser that contains salicylic acid instead to help exfoliate your pores.

It is important to protect your sensitive skin from sun damage, but some sunscreens aggravate sensitive skins so much that a lot of people decide to do away with sunscreen altogether. If you have especially sensitive skin, you should apply sunscreen daily to protect yourself from the sun, preferably with a minimum SPF of 15. Use a sunscreen that is a gel instead of an oil-based one, as it is less greasy. And to avoid skin irritation from sunscreens, use one that contains zinc or titanium dioxide as part of its ingredients, as these two are not absorbed into the skin unlike sunscreens that contain Parsol 1789, the chemical responsible for skin irritation in sensitive skins.

Skin care for sensitive skin is relatively easy these days, especially when you can find a lot of information on how to deal with the problem online. However to be on the safe side, be sure to consult your physician or dermatologist before trying out the advice you come across on the internet.

Reduce Smoking to Avoid Smoking Wrinkles!

Wednesday 15 October 2008 @ 7:46 pm

Are you a smoker? Are you concerned of how quickly age seems to be creeping up on you? If you were aware of the fact that smoking is the second quickest way of making yourself look older, would you still continue smoking? Do me a favor. Go look at yourself in the mirror and tell me what you see. If you see a “smoker’s face” – that is, a pale, grey, wrinkled face – then you need to stop smoking and continue reading. If you’re interested in avoiding smoking wrinkles, read on.

In 1965, a study was conducted on the effects smoking has on skin aging. It was then that a phenomenon aptly named “smoker’s face” was first identified. Since then it has been widely accepted that smokers look older than non-smokers because of the damage caused on the skin from smoking. In fact, according to the Chief Medical Officer of the United Kingdom, smoking adds anywhere between 10 to 20 years to your natural age.

So what exactly is a smoking wrinkle? Have you noticed how a smoker reacts to a puff of cigarette, to that deep draw of nicotine-laced smoke each time he or she lights up? They would pucker up to draw from the cigarette, and when that nicotine smoke hits their lungs – usually during that first cigarette in the mornings – they squint at the sensation. Do that for years and soon wrinkles will develop around the eyes and lips from the continual repetitions, day in, day out. These very wrinkles are called smoking wrinkles, and make up part of the “smoker’s face”.

Over time, after years and years of smoking, you can expect several things. First, a loss of skin vitality; your face will lose its natural glow and seem dull, and your skin will become discolored, and even ashen if your complexion was fair and white. Wrinkles will deepen around the eyes and mouth, thanks to the continual puckering-and-squinting-effect from smoking. And lastly, while everyone your own age actually looks their age, you’ll seem like their older sibling… or worse, their parent.

Of course, there is no way for you to turn back the clock and reverse the damage that has already been done by years of smoking. However, you can prevent further damage by reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke. Better yet, quit completely and stop any additional and unnecessary damage to your skin. Sure, you might not see any (or enough) signs of damage now, but keep in mind that some damage will not immediately be apparent.

Do not assume that it will never happen to you.

Because chances are, if you smoke long enough, the effects of smoking will creep up on you eventually, and by the time they do, it would already have been too late to start regretting it.

If you’re a smoker, the one crucial thing you have to remember is to halt the damage you’re doing to your own skin. With a proper diet and anti aging skin care, you will have a better chance of looking much better than if you had carried on being a smoker. So do the sensible thing: Avoid cigarettes, and avoid smoking wrinkles.
