Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin Most women complain of having sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is a result of our actions. We are never born with sensitive skin. Except in case of an immune problem, sensitive skin results from either environmental insults, too much soap, or too many cosmetic products. Soap dehydrates skin. This dehydration pulls out the lipids in our skin that act as a barrier for many things. Cosmetics result in the application of many chemicals to the skin with unknown consequences. By simply stopping to use soap and reducing the amount of cosmetics in the skin, your skin will be in better condition: An effective quick fix. ...

Harmful Effects of the Sun

How do we protect ourselves from the harmful effects of the sun? No method will grant 100% protection. 1) Physical blockers (e.g., zinc ozide, titanium dioxide). 2) Chemical blockers. New version of physical blockers that have been modified to not result in the ugly white rub could potentially result in free radicals, but because these do not penetrate deeply in the skin, are considered safe. Chemical blockers can result in chemical reactions that produce free radicals. By adding topical and systemic antioxidants, we can help prevent skin sagging. ...

Microdermabrasion

Improvements Microdermabrasion may provide noticeable improvement in skin texture, radiance and in providing a smooth surface.It can temporarily brighten some brown spots. However, keep in mind that it only works on the skin surface, not deeper tissues. You can not achieve results if the problem is deeper than what microdermabrasion can reach. Ask your dermatologist before proceeding with some spot treatments.  ...

Photo-Damaged Skin

Facial Care The fact is that with all we know today, there is no reason for photo-damaged skin. Anyone exposing themselves to tanning with UV light or sunbathing does not seem to be aware of the impact on her/his health. Chronic sun injury does not need to disfigure our face ...

Longevity

General Care A key factor for longevity is where we live, not education, marital status, or wealth.  Many scientists believe that only about 25% of how we live is dictated by our genes. The remaining 75% is determined from our thoughts, lifestyle choices, and the equilibrium and harmony in our lives. There are 90 year olds working in the fields of some countries!  ...
