A Look At Microdermabrasion Machines

Microdermabrasion systems are safe for most all skin types. Microdermabrasion systems actually evolved from a process known as dermabrasion. Though effective, especially for serious dermis scarring, dermabrasion is harsh, requiring a metallic re-surfacing tool, anesthesia, and long recovery times.

Microdermabrasion systems, however, gently smooth signs of aging, sun damage, and scarring with micro crystal creams. The beauty of micro-crystal creams is how powerfully they polish the skin, but remains gentle and forgiving.

A special cleansing device circulates a cream, infused with tiny exfoliating crystals (aluminum oxide), directly onto the skin. These micro-crystals deep clean the skin's outer-most layer of dead skin cells and other debris, while the re-surfacing wand massages the upper-most surface tissue, clears pores, and jumpstarts circulation. In turn, creating a fresh skin surface that diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, lines, spots, blemishes, uneven skin surfaces, and scarring caused by acne, childbirth, weight gain, aging, sun damage, or genetics.

The process is not painful but more like a deep cleansing tissue massage. The re-surfacing tool has various strength levels and is easy to control. Most licensed estheticians and cosmetologists, RNs, or doctors perform professional microdermabrasion services using a closed-loop vacuum system, to include a waste catching canister. Professional operators of microdermabrasion systems are required to be trained. Home systems are also available, and usually provide training manuals.

Microdermabrasion equipment is adjustable and easily tailored to your specific beauty needs.Most systems include the following basic components: hand-held resurfacing tool that applies exfoliating solutions, specially formulated creams infused with exfoliating micro-crystals (aluminum oxide), and various foam attachments designed for polishing all skin surfaces.

Most major cosmetic manufacturers sell microdermabrason equipment, many are conveniently available online. Simply conduct a search for "microdermabrasion systems." Professional level microdermabrasion equipment is also available on the web, targeting salons, cosmetic surgeons, and entrepreneurs. The professional equipment is similar to many home systems in that they both use a buffing wand that applies micro-crystals. The primary differences between the two is that professional microdermabrasion equipment offers a re-surfacing device that simultaneously vacuums or sweeps the debris clear and increases tissue stimulation, while having more power and durability due to repeated use and varied clientele needs.

Microdermabrasion equipment ranges from inexpensive do-it-yourself lotion packages to medical and salon machines costing several thousands of dollars. This technology empowers you to experience serious skin improvements from home, at the salon, or in your dermatologist's office without the inconvenience and risks
involved with surgery, lasers, and chemicals.

A Look At Laser Acne Treatment

Laser acne treatment has been around for a few years now, and it is quickly replacing more traditional forms of acne removal and prevention. As antibiotics become increasingly ineffective due to overuse, more and more people are opting for this new technique.

During laser resurfacing, a doctor holds a laser pen just above the acne or acne scar tissue and waves the concentrated beam of light back and forth, vaporizing only the unwanted tissue and creating a new surface for skin cell growth. Thus the term "laser resurfacing". 

New collagen actually forms after laser treatment. (Collagen is a protein in the skin's connective tissue that helps give the skin its texture.)

Although laser resurfacing is safe and painless in almostall cases, some post-procedural bruising and swelling are normal. In most cases, these side effects persist for seven to ten days.

Wait until this passes before applying make-up.

Currently there are no federal restrictions on who can perform laser resurfacing; regulations only affect the laser manufacturers themselves. There are many types of lasers for many different purposes, so be sure to use a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Be sure to ask where your doctor was trained to use the laser equipment and whether your doctor rents or owns his or her laser equipment. Ask to see before and after pictures of the doctor's cases, and find out how many different types of lasers the doctor owns and how often each piece of equipment is used.

Many doctors feel that laser resurfacing isn't meant for dark skin because it alters the color of skin too
dramatically and unpredictably. Others believe that in the hands of a very experienced surgeon, people with darker skin tones can benefit.

Lasers acne treatment is much more invasive than non-ablative lasers. They remove by erosion, melting, evaporation, or vaporization. Ablative lasers are not recommended for use on darker skin colors.

Laser resurfacing costs upwards of $2,500 for a full face, versus $1,000 for other types of scar and acne removal.
Consult with an experienced aesthetic dermatologist and laser surgeon to determine what it best for you.

A Bumpy Ride Towards Aging

The snow-white clear skin that you have been proud of since your teen years has suddenly poofed into a wicked witch's warty face upon reaching the age of 30!
"Acne, at my age?" This is often the distressed statement of pockmarked men and women in their 30's to 40's afflicted with adult acne.

This problem is surely not the work of a vengeful sorcerer. Acne vulgaris is what this most common skin disorder in the United States is scientifically called. Statistics has it that 15 million people  in US alone are afflicted with acne. It is an embarrassing problem among teenagers. But this condition is not only limited to those awkward years. Adult acne is also prevalent, especially among people in the age
group of 25 to 40.

Acne is a disease that resulted from the accumulation of sebum, a highbrow term for oil, underneath the skin. When this happens and the desquamation (human's way of molting) process goes wrong, the pores become clogged. Aggravation will continue and soon infection sets in. A bad bug called
Propionibacterium acnes causes this infection. Overproduction of oil and mismanagement of the process of shedding cells equals bunged pores. Clogged pores plus P. acnes, the scoundrel, equals breakout. Those pesky zits are produced just as easy as that.

One of the pushing forces that may cause the occurrence of acne includes the elevation of levels of testosterone among adolescents. No, it's not Toblerone misspelled. No matter how many anecdotes you've heard about chocolate addiction causing zits to dominate your face, there's really no enough
scientific basis to prove this. Testosterone is a chemical produced by the body that increase sebum production and change the keratin of the hair follicles. Testosterone is an androgen. Androgen is a hormone produced in high levels among males. This is the reason behind the worse cases of
acne among teenage boys more than girls.

Adult acne is called acne rosacea. It is characterized by the following: unsightly thick, red skin on the nose and cheeks, pus-filled blisters, small red bumps, and small red blood vessels seen on the skin surface. It is more commonly linked to increased levels of stress. Isn't it interesting
how the body reacts to this stimulus? NOT. When exhausted, like Gizmo getting wet, our skin could actually give birth to little monsters! Though they are not as troublesome as gremlins, they could be just as annoying as well. Seriously, pimples can be difficult to deal with, and can cause depression and anxiety in an adult the same way it can in a teen. Pressure from work and family responsibilities is thought to possibly affect the normal balance of our hormones. And hormones messed up means having to put up with bumpy complexion caused by adult acne.

Aside from stress-triggered hormonal imbalance, hot foods alcohol consumption, and smoking are also considered tomexacerbate adult acne. This may help you reconsider your
food preferences and habits.

Acne lesions are commonly found on the face, but they can also pop out anytime on the neck, chest, back, shoulders, scalp, and upper arms and legs. Adult acne is more
persistent than teen acne. It is because adults are consistently exposed to the many factors that cause
breakouts. Another hitch of adult acne is permanent scarring. It is an evidence of the inevitable reality that with the coming of age, the skin loses its erstwhile ability to repair itself. As if there's a need to be reminded of that when your face starts to wrinkle already. Now here's more to shriek in terror for, especially those in their mid-20's: adult acne causes PREMATURE AGING. Isn't that

just nerve-wracking?Enough of the endless yada's regarding how adult acne could further destroy us. As how master Yoda puts is, educated we must be with the crusade towards clearer AND younger skin. Or at least skin that is just our age we must maintain.

At the first sight of those wicked pimples together with gray hair and wrinkles (talk about aging signs overkill), just like with teenagers, impulse dictates squeezing. But you very well know that squeezing is a big no-no. How old are you? You surely don't need any more marks of time's passage.

In severe cases, consulting a dermatologist would best help in dealing with adult acne. The dermatologist may prescribe an antibiotic, vitamin A derivative like Isotretinoin or other acne drug available. More women  may be afflicted with adult acne than men. Pregnancy is another story if you are prescribed anti-acnes, especially Isotretinoin.

Proper skin care may not guarantee a flawless complexion. But a good skin care regimen may aid in warding off bacteria that worsen adult acne. If you love scrubbing for its squeaky-clean feel, think twice. It can render more damage to your already-blemished skin.

Another hint especially for women: use NON-COMEDOGENIC products. Non-comedogenic basically means anything that does not clog skin pores or cause acne. Do your homework and look for as many non-comedogenic versions of the skin care products you use. It's worth it, you'll see.

If stress is linked with adult acne, then, disengaging yourself from stressful activities might work wonders, right? A day away from work or catching up on one of your hobbies won't hurt.

There's this bold Jean Kerr reacting on a classical quotation.

"I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?"

It doesn't mean the depreciation of a pleasing personality. Such reaction only imparts a message of giving value to what boosts your self-esteem. If it's a clear complexion along with your aging gracefully, so be it. No adult acne should put a shame on your face and get in your way of becoming more confident.

6 Steps To Clear Acne-free Skin

Hundreds of medications, treatments, cleansers and cosmetics are available for people with acne, but the most important elements of an acne-fighting program won't cost you a cent.

Step 1. Nourish your skin by eating a healthy and balanced diet.

Most health care specialists agree that a healthy diet will benefit your skin. Cut down on caffeine, sugar and refined carbohydrates, all of which can activate the hormones that tell your sebaceous glands to produce more oil. Add more fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, juices and other healthy treats to your daily diet, and you'll see in improvement in your skin.

Step 2. Drink lots of water to maintain the skin's elasticity.

Plenty of water is essential to the health of your skin. One of the main activities of the body's self-healing system is to filter the blood, a job performed mostly by the kidneys, with help from the skin in the form of perspiration. This self-healing system removes the toxic wastes of metabolizing food and of other harmful substances that get into our bodies one way or another.

This purification system operates efficiently only if the volume of water flowing through it is sufficient to carry away the wastes. 6 to 8 glasses (64 fluid ounces) of water a day is the recommendation. To reach your quota, carry bottled water with you in your car, your purse, your
briefcase-wherever you go.

Get the water habit, and your skin will thank you for it.

Step 3. Exercise regularly for good circulation.

Get into a regular routine of exercise. Do it for at least half  an hour, five days a week. Exercise improves your blood circulation, helping your body clear toxins from your system, including your skin. Better circulation also increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your skin.
Exercise also relieves stress, which is a common cause of acne flare-ups. Last but not least, exercise releases endorphins, the "feel good" substance in your brain that puts a smile on your face-the best beauty secret of all.

Step 4. Cleanse your face-then tone, moisturize, and exfoliate.

At night* First remove your makeup with an oil-free makeup remover and a cotton ball. * Then wash your face with lukewarm water and an oil-free, non-comedogenic (doesn't block pores) cleanser. * Pat (don't rub) it dry with a soft towel.* And apply an oil-free moisturizer.

In the morning* Wash your face as directed above, then use an alcohol-free toner. * Next apply moisturizer. * Then apply makeup-all oil-free and non-comedogenic.

Once or twice a week use an exfoliator with alpha hydroxy acid or glycolic  acid. This will aid in the shedding of dead skin cells, the "food" for the bacteria that cause pimples.

If you exercise during the day, you'll need to wash your face a third time, immediately afterward.

Step 5. Protect your skin from the sun and harsh weather.

One popular myth about acne is that tanning will clear it. It may seem so at first, but soon you will notice that your tanned skin becomes less pliable, making it less able to shed oil and dead skin cells, which clog your pores. Your acne will become worse, not better.

Always wear sun block with at least an SPF-15 UVA & UVB rating. If you'll be outside in the sun for long, wear a wide-brimmed hat.

Step 6. Get plenty of good-quality rest.

Your immune system requires energy to do its work, including the work of protecting your skin from acne. The deep sleep the brain needs for "recharging" comes several hours into the sleep cycle. That's why a few hours here and there won't do. Most people need at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep a night.
Consider it beauty sleep.

If you make these 6 items part of your daily routine, you'll look better, feel better, and have less need of expensive acne treatments and cosmetics.

5 Reasons Little White Bumps Are On Your Face And How To Get Rid Of Them

Are you making these mistakes each time you spot a little white little bump on your face? Fixing those little white bumps starts with a small dose of education and ends with a big dose of prevention. After understanding the five reasons below, your little bumps should give way to clearer skin.

Reason #1: You have no clue what those little white bumps
are anyway.

Little white bumps, or milia, are keratin-filled cysts, or simply little globs of protein under the skin. There are generally two types of milia. Primary milia may result from oil glands that have not fully or properly developed. Secondary milia result from trauma to the skin.

Reason #2: You think all little white bumps are acne, and
treat them that way.

Just because you have little white bumps on your face does not necessarily mean that you have acne. Milia, are little balls of protein beneath the skin that do not have a pore, or hole in the skin through which to escape.

Comedones or whiteheads are excess fats and wastes that are trapped in a hair follicle and so they clog up the pore. In short, milia are proteins trapped within the skin, while comedones are fats and skin debris trapped within the pore.

Exfoliating the skin, or removing the dead skin cells from your skin with an abrasive product or chemical, is beneficial. But brutally scrubbing your face with soaps and chemicals too frequently may actually create milia. To avoid this, remember that gentle exfoliation helps prevent excess dead skin cell build-up that could clog your pores and cause whiteheads, not milia.

This gentle exfoliation helps make eventual removal of them milia easier because the skin layer around the milia becomes thinner, with frequent, yet gentle exfoliation. In short, Exfoliate your skin to prevent milia, not to cure them.

Reason # 3 You have no idea what causes those little white
bumps anyway.

When you were a baby, you were probably covered with milia that disappear after a few days. Or, you may have inherited milia from your parents.

On the other hand, you may develop milia after excessive exposure to the sun. The reasons for developing milia after sun exposure are debatable. According to some studies, the active ingredients sunscreens like Parsol 1789 may cause sun allergies and later lead to a milia breakout. Other studies blame the sun itself for "damaging" the skin can thus causing little white bumps.

Some people experience milia around the mouth. This could be the result of fluoride irritation from toothpaste.

Reason # 4: No one ever told you how to prevent milia.

The best way to prevent milia is to avoid treating your skin with excessively harsh chemicals and to limit sun exposure.

To reduce creating milia around the eyes, use eye creams with the least amount of ingredients possible to avoid irritating the delicately thin eye area. Also, gently touch the eyes and avoid rubbing the eyes vigorously so as not to damage the skin.

When brushing you teeth, try to keep the pasty foam from staying around your mouth too long. This limits possible fluoride irritation to the skin.

Use a sunscreen with the least amount of ingredients. Extraneous ingredients like fragrances may irritate your skin. Additionally, purchase sunscreens that offer physical sun blockage that contain active ingredients like titanium oxide or zinc oxide.

Reason #5: You still want to know what you can do right now
to get rid of milia.

The key to getting rid of milia is realizing that they have no escape route, those little bumps are trapped under the skin. So, to get them out, you'll need to have a professional like a dermatologist or aesthetician extract them. You can extract the milia yourself, but this involves risks.

Precautions You need to ensure that you milia are not symptoms of some underlying disease or illness. Also, if you extract the milia yourself, you may have trouble completely pulling out the cysts, as the removable process may prove too painful.

Otherwise, if you are confident with your health and courage, you can cleanse your hands and face. Then wet a cloth with warm water and apply it to your face for a few minutes. Gently apply a sterile needle to the center of the little white bump to create a tiny opening in the skin.

Wrap your thumbs in a clean tissue and, using your thumbs, proceed to gently squeeze the contents of the little white bump out. Finally, cleanse the area of the extracted little white bump with an astringent.

Now, you have no reason to walk around with little white bumps on your face. If you still think you do, please consider the possibility that you're just telling yourself little white bumpy lies.

5 Acne Treatment Tips You Can Use Today

Dealing with acne can be embarassing at any age. Luckily, there  area number of things you can do everyday to make sure your skin is lessprone to flare ups. Here are five tips for taking control of youracne starting today.

• Exercise - Keeping in shape can help fight acne by fighting offnegative stress levels that can come from negative self-esteem anddepression. However, some safeguards need to be in place to ward offacne that can result from your workout routines. Watch what you puton your body with regards to clothing, sports gear and equipment. 

• For example, tight lycra and nylon exercise outfits might lookgreat in the movies and on magazine models, but if you aresusceptible to acne problems, avoid these syntheticfabrics that tendto trap in body moisture and heat resulting in a bacteria frenzy.Instead, choose loose clothing made of cotton or natural blends toallow more air to get to your skin.

• And when you are finished with your workout, get out of clothing wetfrom perspiration or water sports. Shower and change into dry, cleanclothing. And keep your sports gear and equipment clean, too. Dirtyheadgear, for instance, can irritate forehead areas prone to acneproblems. So toss headbands into the washing machine after workoutsessions.

• Cosmetics  - To avoid pore-clogging and skin irritations that aresimilar to acne and that can contribute to acne, use products labelednoncomedogenic or oil-free. Shimmering facial colors can contain aflaky mineral called mica that can cause skin irritations and clogpores. Other additives in coloring that can cause similar reactionsare coal tar derivatives, carmine and heavy cream in blushes.

• More preventative measures include using a lip gloss that promotes amatte finish instead of a high gloss for less pore-clogging; note themore the shine, the more then comedogenic content and the more  thepores can clog. Beware that eye creams can contain heavierconcentrations of moisturizers than regular creams and lotions,meaning they have greater potential to clog pores in the surroundingfacial areas. 

• Diet - Studies show that diet does not play a role in either thecause or the treatment of acne. However, what is recommended for acnepreventative care is this: what is best for your body is best foryour skin, especially since your skin is the largest organ of yourbody. So remember to watch your diet and consume healthy vitamins,minerals and other supplements. This will help to prevent and helpconquer acne breakout.

• Hygiene - A healthy skin regimen should include no harshscrubbing or over-washing, because this can cause possible skinirritation or possible over production of oil to replace what haswashed off, clogging pores in the process. Products with gentleexfoliation ingredients are OK to use; i.e. not scratchy nut or fruitshell pieces that can tear skin. And skip alcohol products whenpossible; these can take off the top layer of your skin and causeyour glands to product more oil, clogging pores in the process.

• If you do spot acne-troubled areas, do NOT mess with them. Rememberthat these are already weeks in the making, and squeezing or pickingblemishes can force the infected area to regress back inside, furthertroubling the region and possibly leave a scar. If necessary, seekhelp from a dermatologist for alternative treatments.

• Shaving - Shaving for both genders is actually an excellent wayof exfoliating or removing dead skin to help with the prevention andspreading of acne instead of leaving the remains to clog pores. Andfor some light acne cases already in process, shaving can help ridwhiteheads and blackheads from the face. A word of caution: for areaswith infection or high inflammatory activity (redness,sensitive,open acne, sores, etc.), do not shave. Or at the very least, use ashaving cream for sensitive skin!

Cystic Acne

A more advanced pimple is called cystic acne.  Acne is fairly common amongst all people around the world, however a more severe type is called cystic acne.

A regular pustule (pimple) roots itself deep into the skin becoming a cyst. Cysts can be large and purple, or pink and small. Many cysts in the facial area and elsewhere throughout the body erupt in severe cases.

Heredity is thought to play a large role in cystic acne.  You are likely to acquire a form of cystic acne if you have a parent who has or had it.  While it can appear anywhere on the body it seems to do more damage on the face.  You can have it on the back, legs, shoulders, neck and check.Clothing can cover these cysts but if clothing is too tight it can irritate the area and actually cause more of these
painful eruptions to appear.  Loose clothing is the best apparel with body acne.

Cystic acne is painful and undergoing a bout of it is extremely uncomfortable. Isotretinoin is the medication most effective for cystic acne.  It is a concentrated form of Vitamin A and is found in a drug called Accutane. Accutane must be used only as a final alternative because it has serious side effects.  It was found to cause birth defects and miscarriages in pregnant women.  A woman must prevent conception with two types of birth control when Accutane is prescribed.

You might want to ask for something a little less strong if you are a woman.  A product that contains high levels of benzoyl peroxide might be better suited because it is  safe for pregnant women. It can't hurt to try what you can before seeing a doctor; consulting with a physician is expensive.  You might discover that an over the counter treatment is much cheaper than the doctor visit and works as well.

Cystic acne can be treated successfully.  You just have to keep trying different treatments until you find one that works for you.  If you can afford one, see a good dermatologist.

Zit! Don't Pop It

Acne, which is commonly call zits and/or pimples by teenager, can cause tremendous damage to the body and can be very painful. Zits and/or pimples by teenager can cause terrible damage to the body and can be very painful. By squeezing and popping them you can do sever damage to the skin as well as create additional risks of infection.

There are two kinds for pimples, inflammatory and non-inflammatory.
The first is a whitehead also known as a closed comodones. The second is a blackhead also known as an open comodones. These are non inflammatory.

The cause of a whitehead is infected hair follicles. Yes, all people have hair on their faces even females. Enlarged plugs with a black color to them are called blackheads.
These will break through the skin. Papules are tender to the touch and a little pink in color. Pustules are lesions that are round with a yellow center and pink or red around the edge. These are the inflammatory types. 

The severest type of acne is a cysts or nodules which are very painful and will scar.

When you try a pop or squeeze a pimple you are damaging the tissue surrounding it and push the bacteria on to the  surface tissue as well as deeper into the tissue. The squeezing also damages the hair follicle. By exposing the surface and deeper tissues, you infect other pores.

Squeezing will cause swelling of the surrounding skin. Many manufacture produce blackhead removers. They advertise them on TV, on the Internet,  and in print ad's, even though scientific studies show that you should not remove blackheads. If a blackhead is not squeezed the skin will
not become inflamed.

Whiteheads are more damaged when popped or squeezed. Whiteheads are very small and may only be felt on the skin as a roughness, these are also called sandpaper comodones. Whiteheads quickly become inflamed and develop into papule and/or pustule.

Dermatologist should treat whitehead once they naturally develop in to papules and/or pustules. When the inflammatory type of pimples are irritated acne can become sever and damaging. Whiteheads have little content in them but can become very inflamed and an eye sore by simple
squeezing. Your dermatologist can determine the best treatment for your acne. They  will decide the treatment plan with medicines as needed. This could include soaps, cleaning methods, diet, and medication.

Lotion for Oily Skin

Some believe that putting moisturizer on oily skin makes it worse.  This isn't true or false but dependent on what kind of moisture it is.  Oily skin isn't different from normal skin in that you just need to be careful choosing a product made for your skin type.  Oily skin can't handle lotions for dry skin, as they will have that greasy look. For oily skin there are quite a few light and airy oil-free choices available.

One oil-free lotion that contains salicylic acid, which prevents and treats acne, is called Clean and Clear.  It moisturizes skin as well as fighting acne without causing additional problems.  Use it after treating pimples with benzoyl peroxide cream that could create dry patches.  This
is a good lotion if you  use a retinol product for your acne. You will need to use a year round sunscreen as this product does not contain one. 

Renergie Oil-Free Lotion from Lancomeis a good high end product.  It hydrates and plumps fine lines, is okay for night or day use yet it is totally free of oil.  ReVive Sensitif Oil Free Lotion is another one to think about.  It is shine free and leaves a matte
finish.  It contains the natural protein molecule EGF. It carries a SPF 15 but is not for the faint-hearted at almost $200.

Jojoba oil is one of the least expensive lotions for oily skin. The Desert Essence label sells various size bottles at reasonable prices.  It is a good cleanser for oily skin, cleanses away dirt and makeup and assists in regulating sebum production.  Finish with a thorough rinse after massing into dry skin with wet warm water.  Usually we don't think of putting oil on oily skin but in this situation it's okay.  Rub in a little jojoba oil to take care of dry patches as well if you have them.

Believe it or not use this as a good hair treatment and after-shave.

Organic skin care !!!

The most natural skin care has to be organic.  In fact, some might say it was probably the first method to be considered when mankind realized skin car was necessary.  Not only is skin care better for your skin it is inexpensive.  Keeping your skin healthy and younger for a longer time is the result that can be realized by preventing skin disorders; all this can be accomplished when organic skin care is applied in the correct way.

The most popular elements of organic skin care routines are fruits and veggies.  Like cucumber!  Other foodstuffs that find a use in these routines are apple, ginger, papaya and turmeric. Mixed together these organic materials leave a very refreshing and revitalizing effect on skin.  More than ever people  are moving to natural elements and that includes skin care.  Start experimenting with the different fruits and vegetables choosing the ones best suited for your skin type and most suitable for your new skin care routine.  You must use organic fresh fruits and vegetables.

If you are looking for good cleansing properties, milk is a good choice; in fact some skin care products have the word milk right in them.  |Ground oatmeal and milk makes a great cleanser.

Especially good for oily skin, ground oatmeal is a popular ingredient in an organic skin care regimen.  It comprises various mixtures e.g. with milk, fruits, egg and honey it’s for preparing facial packs.

Another great ingredient is wheat germ.  Wheat germ is rich in Vitamin E because of its exfoliation properties and also as a moisturizer.  Preparing facial masks for dry and normal skin types, wheat germ is used in many different  combinations.  Wheat germ oil is also a good way for wheat germ use in organic skin care.

For exfoliation and moisturizing sour cream and yogurt can't be beat.
Organic honey is also used in skin care mixtures.  Honey gives a glow to the skin and helps retain moisture.
A great toner, rose water takes it place in organic skin care routines.  Another popular one is lavender water.

All organic combinations complement each other and improve the other's affectivity.  Learning organic skin care is an art and once you understand it you can have wonderful results and save a pretty penny too.

OTC Acne Treatments

It is always a good idea to consult your doctor, even if yours is just a mild case of acne.  Especially before you test it yourself.

You will find hundreds of acne treatments sold over the counter; at least some of them are somewhat effective. Many of us tend to try something "new" when it is recommended by a friend or we're reacting to an advertisement that catches our eye.  You would be far ahead to make an appointment and talk to your doctor?

 he or she can advise you on what will work for your best results.

We come in all sizes and shapes and no two of us is alike? it stands to  reason then that one medication may not be the right one for all of us.  Your acne could differ greatly from that of a friend.  A basic understanding of the ingredients contained in acne medications will allow you to make better decisions about how to treat your acne.

One of the popular ingredients in acne treatments is benzoyl peroxide.  It fights acne with two-fisted action and is found in creams and gels.  It treats bacteria on top of the skin where pimples are formed.  It also removes oils and dead skin cells from it.  Black heads and white heads are created when the dead cells mix with sebum and block the pores.

Existing lesions can be safely treated with benzoyl peroxide.  Used on skin that is clear it can prevent
acne-causing bacteria from developing.  If it tends to dry the skin you can control it by applying less.  It will also bleach hair and clothing so take care using it.

Another ingredient in treatments is salicylic acid.  It gets rid of the dead skin cells that block pores.  Products containing salicylic acid should be used on clear skin to stop the acne from returning.  Some people report drying and skin irritation.

Sulfur and resorcinol are also common ingredients.  Rescorcinol removes the top layer of skin and in doing so removes dead cells before they plug pores.  No one knows how it works but sulfur is another thing that is used for acne treatment and has been for over fifty years with good results.  It usually isn't used alone because of the bad smell but when mixed with an ingredient seems to make them
work better. Of these ingredients, benzoyl peroxide is the best option with the most versatility. It is used in creams,gels, lotions and soaps safely.  Use these products directly on the pimples and surrounding skin several times a day.

Acne and Rosacea Treatment

Acne and Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea is a debilitating affliction and if you have had it you have suffered.  Not many people can understand the shame and embarrassment associated with bad skin especially with a red rash on your face.  Rosacea never totally clears and can even leave scars.  People who have this ailment are
faced with scarring for the rest of their lives.  However, there may be hope with laser treatments for Rosacea?  many report wonderful results.

Sadly, even though dermatologists know how well the laser treatments work for Rosacea they are expensive.  Insurance companies consider the laser treatments as cosmetic surgery so the patient has to pay out of pocket making the cost unreachable for most people.

However, time does usually bring positive change.  More affordable, Rosacea laser treatments are now commonplace. They appear to be more effective also.}

The first thing a patient must do is determine which method is best for him or her.  Research  will help you decide which of the several different types of Rosacea laser treatments is best for you.  It usually boils down to a couple of factors. how severe is your scarring and how much money can
you spend.  Over-the-counter ointments and creams may  help mild or superficial scarring.  Advanced laser treatment, prescription meds and laser therapy are usually the best course of action for severe cases.

The Rosacea laser treatment will reduce the scarring but will not totally rid your face of the scarring.  However, your dermatologist will likely show you before and after subjects when you meet with him.  Results vary from person to person, however, so don't forget we are not all created identical and neither will our treatment be.

Many people say that they are pleased with the outcome of their decision for the laser therapy. The skin's appearance improves and it greatly affects their self-esteem.

Scalp Acne

Scalp folliculitis, aka scalp acne, is much more prevalent than many people are aware of; it is also the mildest form of acne.  We all know about acne breaking out on the neck, arms, back and face. Unless you have had it break out on other areas of the body you probably weren't aware that it does our.

Periods of life where you undergo a tremendous amount of  stress can induce acne and scalp acne in particular seems more prone to occurring along with stress.

It usually happens when  a particularly oily shampoo is used or if hair goes unwashed for a longer period than normal? it is very irritating.  It's hard for the sufferer to refrain form touching it because it itches.  The sores are painful, small and crusty in the mildest form.  You will see them erupt in your hairline on the forehead.  You may have a lot or just a few. 

If you have larger, inflamed papules that have black-colored crusts you have acne necrotica miliaris. 
This type leaves scars that are similar as Chicken Pox scarring.  

The most severe scalp acne can affect anyone regardless of sex or race, seems to affect for adult African-American men. 
There is a mix of bigger cysts and smaller papules and pustules that and grow very large? it is an extremely rare condition.

Scalp acne treatment

The same treatment for any other acne is pretty much the norm for mild scalp acne.  Use a product that has salicylic acid to keep the affected area clean.  Remember to use only on the areas that are affected because it can be drying. Be sure to use a shampoo that is for oily hair because oily hair is a factor in scalp acne. Some success is reported by using hair care products specially created to treat
seborrhea. 

You should be concerned about any hair care products you use, not just  shampoo so check your labels and adjust however necessary.

Always consult a dermatologist before attempting to treat the more severe types of scalp acne.  While benzoyl peroxide works on regular acne, it should never be used on scalp acne.  Peroxide colors hair and unless you want someinteresting side effects avoid using it on your hair.  This is especially true if your hair has been processed in any way i.e. perms, colored etc.

Acne Scar Removal And Medical Insurance

Removing scars is expensive.  Usually, multiple treatments are required to effectively reduce the long-term results of acne? of course this is dependent on how severe the acne
was and  the amount of scarring.  One of the problems faced by acne sufferers is finding out how they can pay for surgery to remove scarring not covered by medical insurance.

Some companies refer to removing acne scarring as cosmetic rather than necessary and make approval to proceed difficult.  The only way you are going to know for sure is to refer to your policy and review it.  You should have a copy of your policy no matter who provides it.

Cosmetic treatments and/or surgeries are just often not covered by your medical insurance.  If you can't find the answers you need in your policy, contact your representative and make certain he answers the questions about your coverage.

It may be of some help to have your doctor write a letter to your insurance company on your behalf.  His or her recommendation pertaining to the treatment for removing the scars should be included in the letter as well as his full contact information. 

You should expect a response with 30 days upon submitting to your insurance company.  The company will reply with a denial or an acception; it may come to you or the physician.

In the event it is denied you may still have other options.  The hospital might have a payment structure to assist in covering the cost of the surgery if your situation  warrants laser surgery.  When lack of medical insurance prevents treatment, some hospitals will offer this kind of arrangement to assist the patient in affording the procedure.  You need to find out if the hospital offers such
a program. 

You can contact the billing office at the hospital to determine this.  If it is available, the doctor will have to prepare the full cost of the procedure and present it to the finance office. If you are approved it will make your obligation much easier to handle.

Acne and Vitamin Supplements

Because of the huge numbers of acne sufferers in the world no wonder why people are always looking for a cure. 

Yes, there are some known connections between hormones and acne and how to prevent it? but it still carries a mystery about what else can actually cause it.  Even the scientific community agrees to disagree that the jury is still out on whether acne is affected by diet. 

Heretofore that has been the consensus.  The basis for the argument is an oily complexion creates acne and that the reason for that oily complexion is a diet high in fat.

There is no basis nowadays that shows any link in between acne and lipids or fat.  Science says that extra oil secretion does not exist; and what cause that result are bacteria growing in a pore clogged with sebum.  We've listened to western medicine tout no link between acne and diet!

Then in the 90's a new study started it all over again now saying that diet does cause acne.

This study states that the body does not have enough Coenzyme A that breaks down fatty acids to create sebum and that this is why acne exists.  They believe this is the  most required enzyme the body needs.  Fatty acids broken down by this enzyme as well as it synthesizing sex hormones.}

Vitamin B5 is the only part of this enzyme the body doesn't produce.  So no B5 = no Coenzyme-A or vice versa or at least shortage of them.  A shortage of Coenzyme-A will not break down fatty acids it will synthesize sex hormones.

Pretty obvious, huh?  More fatty acids = more sebum = more acne.}

100 people were involved in a study.  Each used a B5 topical cream of 20% by weight and took 10 grams or more of pantothenic acid (B5) per day.  Many people noted a reduction in acne within 2-3 days and sebum production was reduced.  A higher dose of B5 was prescribed for those who
had more severe acne 15-20 grams per day), |and treatment prolonged up to six months to see the effect.}

While the study doesn't prove definitively that acne is reduced or prevented, if you are looking for a more natural approach it might be something to try.

Discuss the possibility of a B5 treatment plan with your physician before trying it.

Knowing the Types for Acne

Understanding what acne is, what it does, and the different kinds can help you prevent it.
All types of acne develop in the same way, however they can affect people differently and have different appearances.

Follicles become clogged creating a comedo, which is called acne.
When the hair follicles become blocked with dead cells and oil they form a comedo that becomes inflamed and discolored.
The different kinds of acne have different types of treatment plans.

A closed comedo, commonly know as a whitehead is a non-inflammatory type of acne. Whiteheads are small bumps that develop under the skin from blocked hair follicles. They do not break the surface.

If the comedo breaks the surface ii is a blackhead. These are inflamed and have discoloration, also known as an open comedo.
Melanin is what caused the discoloration not dirt. Another name for an inflammatory type of acne is a
blackhead.

Papules are firm, pink bumps, and small. They are the mildest type of inflammatory acne and show up on the surface.
Often papules are sore and tender. They are considered the first step toward inflammatory acne from
non-inflammatory.

Pustules are round lesions that are similar to a papule. Pustules are visibly, clearly inflamed, and filled with pus. This is where they differ from papules. Pustules will have a white or yellow filled center that appears red in color. There may be very little bacteria in a pustule, what pus is there is from the excess sebum, dead cells and irritation.

A very painful form of acne is cysts or nodular. Nodules are deep in the tissue of the skin, which are inflamed and contain pus. When the comedo ruptures the surround skin and tissues become infected, the body's defense mechanism reacts and produces pus.

The worse form of acne will last for weeks or months, hardening and becoming a cyst. Cysts
and nodules will leave deep scars on the body.

Acne conglobata develops on the chest, buttocks, and back, it is an inflammatory acne and extremely rare. The symptoms are pustules, cysts, and nodules with sever infection from
bacteria.

Topical cosmetic can cause mild forms of cosmetic acne.
Local infection will occur with small red bumps on the body where the cosmetics were applied. The symptoms may take several weeks to develop but generally do not create scars.
If you do not eliminate the cause of the inflammation it will persist until the product is discover and use is stopped.

Understanding the type of acne is the only way to find a treatment.

Whiteheads

Whiteheads are defined as a clogged hair follicle with dead cells and excess oil in them. The appearance of a whitehead is a small pick or white bump that does not break the surface.

There are many varieties of acne that affect the skin in different ways. Each different type of acne has a different type of treatments. Having a good understanding of what condition you suffer from will help you and your doctor to determine treatments.

Many people do not know what causes whiteheads. Whiteheads are not exposed to oxygen however
blackheads are exposed.

Dead cells and oils build up in a pore clogging the pore, which is called acne. Whiteheads are under the skin and appear as small bumps. This type of acne is refered to as closed comedones. A whitehead does not oxygenate because its contents are not on the surface nor exposed to air.
The oil hardens under the skin clogging the follicle that caused the acne. Some doctors think the individuals that suffer from consistent outbreaks may produce oil that is dryer than normal.

Avoid cosmetics that have oils in them. Another precaution to take is wash the sheets and pillowcases
regularly as well as your hair. Try and keep your hair of the face if it becomes really oily. Old oils and dirt from the pillowcase and sheets will rub into the skin creating an irritation.

There are several different types of treatments for whiteheads. A good cleaning system will tone, detoxify and clean the skin in one cleaning session. A doctor can provided a prescription that stabilizes the hormones to level the creation of oil.  A good deep cleaner will keep the whiteheads from developing. The cleaner will eventually cause the existing pimple to reduce and possibly remove them forever. Scarring is very unlikely with whiteheads. Do not remove them yourself.   If you need to have any of the whiteheads removed seek medical attention. Your doctor should be the only one to remove them.

Some doctors will prescribe medication or cleanser gels to remove whiteheads. Most medication will not have any oily or greasy in they to clog pores. There are prescription meds that are of any one with really sensitive skin. Most acne suffers have more than just whiteheads as a symptom. Many of  the medication for whiteheads can also be used for other acne lesions. For females many doctors will try to control acne with birth control pills.

Opening Post ACNE!

Many people feel sorry for those with acne problems. Social rejection by those who have a poor complexion is the worst. The fact that we can do nothing to prevent it is the worst part. Others suffer from indirect consequences of acne that can follow a person for the rest of their life.

This important problem receives a decent amount of time for learning and solving this problem. Various ways are proposed to clear acne, some more worthwhile than the others. These cures go anywhere from spreading mixtures of organic potions on your skin to zapping the skin with ultrasonic technology

Acne is a form of inflammation that begins deep in the dermal layer that attracts various immune competent cells to make pain, redness, swelling, and pus to appear. Unfortunately, we don't know what causes this inflammation. Puberty, with the entire hormonal imbalance is a factor in why acne
outbreaks occur. Dirt and oil that gets to your face and absorbs into your pillow is another factor. Foods high in oil are another thing to consider. .

Sadly no matter how much you struggle to change these factors you will still have those painful pimples. You can wash until the first layer of skin is completely gone but they will still be there. Even if you avoided eating the foods your success would be minor.

Even though we have no answers to the problem the search for answers is still going strong. In my opinion you should find a doctor and figure out the methods that will be the most effective for your strain of acne. They are the best spot to start due to their training and information.

Coconut oil is rich in vitamin E, caprylic and capric acid with good concentration of lauric. All these nutrients makes it a good, I would say an excellent option to remove the signs of scars. Massage with coconut oil for 2-3 minutes daily with a frequency of 4-5 times. It will definitely give you desired results within couple of weeks.



When you get acne, there is intense inflammation on your facial skin and there is loss of collagen. Collagen is the protein fiber, one of the components of skin which gives skin its elasticity. When you pick or squeeze your pimples, it leads to further inflammation and injury to your skin. It also leads the bacteria and pus in your pimple go deep down into your skin resulting in more loss of collagen which means even deeper scars on your face.

In order to save yourself a lot of time, money and trouble, it is best for you to avoid the formation of acne scars. This means that you need to refrain from touching the pimples, picking on them, fidgeting with them or bursting them.

Acne scars home remedies

Blackheads are the result of hair follicles becoming clogged with dead skin cells, oil, and sometimes bacteria. The oil has ‘oxidized’ as it reacts with air, which gives it the appearance of being black.

A lot of various factors can play into whats causing the openings to become so clogged, so its a good idea to double check anything you’re using on your face (like make-up, foundation, sunscreen, moisturizer, etc.) and maybe experiment with a gentler method/product.

You should wash your face daily to help keep those follicles clean, but a rinse with warm water once or twice a day should be fine.



The last thing you want to do is over-cleanse your face, which will dry it out too much. In this case your body will react by just making more oil, and it becomes a viscous cycle. A moisturizer labeled as noncomedogenic might be helpful as well. To sum it up… -

Wash your face ‘minimally’ (once a day) followed by a good moisturizer -Double check and maybe switch any products you are using on your skin, such as make-up or sunscreen. -Use any of the above remedies

I used to look out for people telling me if these methods actually work before I try it myself. But, one day my mom made me try it, and I noticed how smooth and clean my face became.

I decided to continue it. I’ve been using gram flour + turmeric +lemon + honey everyday for the past 3 weeks (I don’t know if it is safe to use everyday, but I’ve been doing it and haven’t had a problem…and I don’t even have oily skin). I make a mixture of these ingredients (probably 1/4 tsp of honey, lemon, and turmeric powder each in 1/2 tsp of gram flour – these are approximations…

you can alter the amount depending if the lemon stings your face or the turmeric powder turns your face yellow) and apply it on my face at night leaving it on while I study for about 30-60 minutes. I wash it off with lukewarm water. You have to realize that the results won’t be immediate and that you have to be patient. Nevertheless, overall the results are unbelievable. First, I stopped getting pimples. The redness reduced, and the scars are definitely fading. Give it a try! Just remember to be patient and not get lazy in applying it daily or whatever your schedule may be.

Why Diet Can Bring About Anxiety and Stress

Can what we eat or don't eat make a difference in our stress and anxiety levels? The effects that stress has in both physical and mental health are a hot topic in medical circles today.

It is thought that anxiety disorders result from both the environment and genetic makeup, and when anxiety becomes chronic it can increase the risk for a multitude of physical and mental health problems.


An estimated 40 million Americans suffer from chronic anxiety and stress, and it is also estimated that only about a third of them do something about it.
Stress and anxiety have many things in common, but they are not identical. Stress is thought to usually come from something external in a person's life, such as problems with the job. Anxiety is thought to come from more internal reactions.


Certainly if anxiety is short-term it can cause the body to get past physical danger that triggers it, but if those stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are not shut down after the emergency they can cause issues.

Although the advice for many people is to just simply "get over it", there is certainly a lot more to it. One part that is very possible to control is our lifestyle relating to dieting and exercise, and the foods that contribute to stress and anxiety. Here are some of the factors to be aware of:

• Lack of activity. Exercise produces neurons that naturally keep us in a calm state. Boosting the levels of dopamine and serotonin really help to keep stress levels at bay. Keep in mind that this doesn't have to mean intense exercise, although that certainly helps. But just taking a walk or getting off the couch and moving around while watching a ball game or movie will be a big factor in keeping stress down.
• Leaky gut syndrome. There is such a huge connection between gut health and mental health, and we're finding more about it over time. Eating foods that optimize your gut health will keep those toxins sealed inside the intestines. When they start to secrete into the body through leaks in the intestine, they can absolutely cause havoc with our mental state.
• Excessive amounts of sugar. Getting a spike in sugar and starchy carbohydrates leads to too much insulin release, and that can bring on hypoglycemia. This in turn can cause the brain to let out glutamate at levels that can lead to anger, anxiety, and depression and panic attacks.
• Those toxins that we eat and are exposed to. Food additives, some that have been banned in Europe but not the United States, along with preservatives can have damaging effects on the system. They can result in diseases of a wide variety, and that would include brain disorders that have behavioral and psychological negative effects.
• Not enough omega-3 fats. We've talked here about things that can cause stress and anxiety, but there are a few foods that actually play an important role in emotional health if added to the diet. Deficiencies in omega-3 fats have been linked to mood disorders, and studies have found that there can be a dramatic reduction in anxiety when it is introduced to the diet.
