The skin is the largest and one of the most intriguing organs of the body, accounting for 16 per cent of body weight.

The skin is continually repairing and renewing itself. When you are young, the main skin complaints are greasy skin and acne. But as you grow older, the skin gets dry and the challenge is to counteract the dryness of the skin. However, you can have beautiful skin no matter what your age, race or color. The secret is to understand how your skin functions, and to take care of it properly.

Winter Skin Care Tips

1.Use a humidifier. With the heat on and the windows closed, the air inside can become very dry in the winter, making the dryness and itching of eczema even worse. Use a humidifier to place moisture in the air. If you don’t want to invest in an expensive humidifying system, smaller, relatively inexpensive humidifiers can be obtained at a local drug store. Placing two or three of these around your home will help to humidify the dry air. This can keep skin from drying and becoming cracked and itchy.

2. Exfoliate

A good boy scrub and facial exfoliant can help remove dead skin cells from your body. Add this to your cleansing routine once a week. Not only will you feel fresh but your skin will be free from all that old dry cells. Now you’re ready to moisturize!

3. Oil bath

Now how does a jojoba oil or sweet almond bath sound to you? Relaxing isn’t it! You don’t have to keep these for holidays. Nourish you skin by adding a few drops of these oils into your every day bath. It will do wonders for your skin.

4. Drink Water

Drink a glass of hot water with lemon. This Chinese herbal remedy is a sure-fire method of energizing your body. It will de-tox your entire system, including the liver and gall bladder. This means that your body will be able to clean the blood faster to get rid of toxins responsible for bad skin.

To protect the skin, keep baths and showers short and the water temperature warm – not hot.

Beautiful Skin Care Tips

To make or keep your skin beautiful, it’s best to work from the inside.

Eating the right kind of food can do you more good than any medicine, and go a long way in helping your body’s own healing forces. Eat a balanced diet that includes raw foods, plenty of yellow and orange vegetables (they contain beta carotene – a precursor to vitamin A). Foods high in sulfur such as garlic, onions, asparagus and eggs. Include fruits, seeds, grains and nuts.

Some Protective Measures

Healthy skin is young looking skin. There are preventative techniques that can promote the best skin possible and keep it looking its best longer.

Avoid over exposure to the sun. Sun damage leads to hyper pigmentation (brown spots) which can develop into serious skin disease. Excessive exposure can also exaggerate and thicken fine lines. Use an SPF 15 or higher on all exposed skin, especially on the face.

Some of the most frequent complaint of women about child birth is not about the birthing process in itself, it’s the stretch marks that bother most of all and more women are investing and searching for ways to remove them. Certainly preventing the skin from stretching due to pregnancy cannot be prevented which adds more anxiety to most women especially when several surgical procedures said to eliminate stretch marks completely tend to be painful, costly and requires longer recovery period.

Microdermabrasion offers these anxious women a sure-fire and painless alternative.

Microdermabrasion is a process that abrades the topmost skin layer and gradually removing the dead skin that is both scarred and discolored. The effectiveness of microdermabrasion as treatment for the removal of stretch marks can be proven microscopically. The treatment of stretch marks may be performed in a dermatologist, cosmetic surgery clinics, spas and even high end aesthetician clinics. It can even be tried in the convenience of your home using effective microdermabrasion home kits.

The challenge for the process of microdermabrasion is stretch marks that are old and have become hard, stubborn and tough. Several sessions will be required before these scars are totally eradicated. Since microdermabrasion machines have several adjustable speed and power, the re-surfacing device that comes with the machine massages the upper most layers of the scarred tissues, stimulating circulation of the blood, softening the area to allow the emulsions packed with nutrients and specific ingredients that will penetrate deeply onto the skin and slowly ridding the skin of blemishes, spots and therefore making the skin more pliable and smoother to the touch.

The microdermabrasion machine also releases ultrasonic frictional heat which increases and accelerates circulation, promoting muscle relaxation and even burning of cellulites and break down of fat. The treatment and rubbing off of damaged cells will gently dissolve skin lesions and reduce scars and remove superficial flaws. It will also destroy pathogens and create right environment for the regeneration of normal collagen and healthy skin. Likewise, the specially prepared emulsion will nourish the skin with antioxidants that have been depleted by stress and protect the skin from oxidative damage due to free radicals thereby improving elasticity, increases density and moisture retention capacity of the skin.

After treatment lotions with lipid enhancers may be needed to continually moisturize and enhance the penetration of products into the skin to stimulate rapid reproduction of renewed cells. The positive results of stretch marks among women have not only helped women regain their self-esteem but it has also given them more confidence to face daily challenges everyday.

For the prevention of skin breakouts, here are some skin care tips for you:

Use warm water together with mild soap when cleansing your face. It is best to cleanse the face two times a day. Use gentle soap that is specifically for acne. Massage gently in a circular motion and remember not to scrub. Avoid scrubbing and washing too much for it may damage and irritate your skin. It is recommended to use a lotion that has benzoyl peroxide after cleansing to lessen bacteria and oil.

Never pop pimples. It may cause further infection in the skin, which may lead to redness, swelling and worse, scarring. Touching your face with fingers may cause your skin to gather sebum and increase bacteria so avoid it. Wash your hands first before putting makeup or treatment creams in your face to prevent the pores from inflammation and irritation.

Another skin care tip is to get rid of your makeup before going to bed. Also, avoid using old makeup that may cause irritation. Always remember to apply sun protection. Sun damage not only causes wrinkles but may also worsen acne problems.

If you are suffering from painful cold sores, ibufrofen or acetaminophen can help. Avoid eating acidic foods such as tomatoes, oranges and lemonades, as well as spicy and salty food that may cause irritation.
