PIMPLE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Keep your face clean and don't overscrub it.
This will only irritate your skin and make you more prone to breakouts. Wash
your face twice a day with antibacterial soap, three times a day for acne prone skin. To avoid aggravating pimples, stay away from harsh soaps and fragrances.
To avoid transferring bacteria and germs,
clean your pillowcase, washcloths, towels, make-up brushes and applicators
frequently. Try washing your make-up applicators in antibacterial soap or
clarifying shampoo. Keep your hair clean
and out of your face. Along the same
line, keep your phone mouthpiece and writing instruments away from your chin and
clean them often.
Avoid wearing heavy make-up and always wash it
off before going to bed. Buy make-up specifically designed for your skin type
and throw it away after it's expiration date.
Wash your hands frequently and make a
conscious effort to avoid touching your face during the daytime hours. This is
when you're most likely to do it and you may not realize that it's a habit.
Any correlation to diet and blemishes is a
myth. There is no proof that greasy food and sugar will cause your
skin to break
out, however too much junk food can lead to health problems down the road -- so
keep your diet healthy.
It's best to keep your anxiety level down and
get your beauty rest. When you're under stress, do not neglect your skin care
routine. Take the time for preventive maintenance or your pimples will return
with a vengeance.
Very hot food or drink destroys the physical energy. Very cold
food is difficult to digest. If you will eat with very fast speed than juice is
not provided to the mouth & glands because of which food takes a long time
to digest. Don't eat food very slowly because it makes the food dry &
tasteless. Thus if you will eat food in a proper manner than diseases relating
to the stomach will not take place & you will be saved from the physical
diseases & stomach problem. It will protect you from pimples.
Stop Pimples and Blemishes
Acne prone people are still going to
experience pimples and blemishes, even after the best skin care routine. After
they appear, knowing how to get rid of them quickly and sensibly reduces your
chance of scarring.
Use the preventive maintenance above, along
with some pimple drying techniques to shorten the life of your blemishes and
breakouts.
If your skin is oily, use an over the
counter cleanser that contains salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to start the
drying process. If you're experiencing one of those painful "under the skin,
cystic" pimples, put a warm compress on it to drain it first, then dry it up
with benzoyl peroxide. Sometimes putting a small piece of tape on your blemish
overnight will help draw out the fluid and infection.
Another overnight home remedy for zapping a
zit is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. You may need to test
this on a short-term basis to make sure it doesn't irritate your pimple.
Calamine lotion will have the same drying effect.
It's not recommended to squeeze a pimple,
but the jury is still out. While doing this makes you more prone to scarring and
skin discolorations, sometimes it's the only fast way to drain it. If you're at
the point where you feel the need to squeeze, consult your dermatologist for
treatment.
If blemishes persist, scarring needs to be
prevented and there are many useful products to put a stop to recurring acne and
pimples. If your blemish is gone and you have some discoloration but no scar,
don't fret. Chances are, it will fade with time.
Reduce the Appearance of Blemishes & Spots
Quick-fixes to reduce the appearance and
redness of your pimples can get you through the day. To lessen the swelling,
some people swear that hemorrhoid cream will do the trick overnight. Or, try
putting an ice cube on the spot for a couple of minutes before applying your
make-up in the morning.
To get rid of the redness, use eye drops
specifically made to reduce the redness in your eyes, (like Visene.) Give it
some time so work and cover your blemish with a concealer stick and a dab of
pressed powder.
If your attending an important event such
as a wedding, your dermatologist can give you a cortisone injection 24 hours
before the event to quick-start the healing process.
Treating Acne and Pimples on your Back
While all of the above home remedies are
affective for pimples, there's no doubt, the back is difficult to treat without
some help. Invest in a good back-scrubber to get to the areas you can't reach in
the shower and always use clean, dry towels.
Ask for some help to apply some astringent
to your back with cotton balls after every bath and shower. Keep your bed sheets
and mattress pad clean. If you have discoloration but no scars, these too will
probably fade as time passes.
Wrinkles, fine lines and the aging changes of roughness,
pigmentation, sallow ness, laxity and dryness on the face or eyelids
are the result of many factors. Approximately 90% of all
changes in skin are due to prolonged
exposure to sunlight.
Ultraviolet light (non-visible wavelengths of sunlight), cigarette
smoking, ozone depletion, and pollutants are a few external and
internal insults that can cause the skin to age. Ultraviolet light
(UVB and particularly UVA)
not only damages the DNA in the cells of the skin, but also inhibits the repair
mechanisms that repair damaged skin cells. Ultraviolet light also generates free
radical molecules of oxygen that can cause oxidative damage to the skin. The
breakdown or depletion of DNA, collagen, Elastin, hyaluronic acid and other
supporting molecules in the dermis all lead to the clinical changes of facial
aging. Note: Wrinkles usually take 30 years to
develop and are slow to remove. Most topical products are designed to moisturize
and hydrate the skin, lessen fine lines, reduce roughness and pigmentation, and
protect the skin from sun damage.
Treatment:
First, stop smoking. There
are good clinical studies that show smoking can cause a dramatic increase in
aging and wrinkles of the face.
Second,
avoid sun exposure on you face and arms by wearing clothes with long sleeves, a
hat, sunglasses and
sunscreen. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreens that block both UVA and UVB wavelengths of
sunlight.
Third,
eat a balanced diet. If you are good to the inside the outside will be good to
you, too.
Fourth,
get 8 hours of sleep each night and think positive thoughts. If you are going to
get wrinkles get ones that accompany a smile instead of a frown.
Fifth,
drink 8 glasses of water a day. Adequate hydration of the body is important for
all the bodies functions.
Sixth,
take a multivitamin and the antioxidants Vitamin E and Vitamin C. Recent
scientific evidence suggests that the antioxidants Vitamin E (400 units) and
Vitamin C (250mg-500mg) when taken orally may help remove the free radicals that
damage the skin caused from sun exposure.
Seventh,
moisturize the skin. The skin like shoe leather will become dried out if not
treated properly.
Ninth, Vitamin C has been shown to increase collagen production and
reduce the damaging effects of the sun.
Age Spots, Liver Spots, and Melasma Treatment Recommendations
Age spots, sun spots,
liver spots, freckles and senile age spots are
essentially the same. They are pea size to dime size shape brown to dark brown
areas mostly on the backs of the hands, arms and face that are caused from
excessive sun exposure. Sun causes the melanocytes (cells that produce pigment)
to produce more melanosomes (pigment granules). Age spots can also be present on
the face, back and legs.
Melasmais pigmentation that occurs mostly on the face. It is
usually seen in women and is induced when the hormone estrogen stimulates the
melanocytes to produce pigment. Women on birth control pills, during pregnancy
and breast feeding seem to be more prone to get this pigmentation. It is often
called the "mask of pregnancy" when seen during pregnancy. Once you get this
type of pigment sunlight will continue to activate it.
Post inflammatory
hyperpigmentationis where increase pigmentation is
seen in the skin after a rash, bruise, scratching, surgical or laser procedure.
Inflammation also can cause the pigment producing cells to make more pigment.
Treatment:
Treatment is successful if the pigmentation is near the epidermis (top layer of
skin). Sun protection with
sunscreens and
wearing a hat is very important to prevent new pigmentation and to prevent
repigmentation after fading has occurred.
Following are some useful tips to
improve your beauty habits and avoid cosmetic acne.
You have an acne and you wish to conceal it before a big date
or an event. However, no matter how little time you have, never dip
your concealer applicator in the bottle and apply the liquid cover directly to
the inflamed zit. Reapplying concealer to your face with the applicator provided
by the manufacturer may spread more bacteria.
To avoid this, apply your acne concealer with a cotton swab
or disposable facial sponge and never, ever use the applicator stick provided by
the concealer manufacturer. This will make sure that your concealer applications
are always fresh and free of acne causing bacteria.
Re-using a foundation sponge
The reasons for not re-using a foundation sponge are the same as the reason
for not re-using a concealer applicator. Never use the foundation sponge
provided by the manufacturer of the foundation. Instead, use a cotton ball or a
disposable foundation sponge to apply your foundation. This way, each
of your foundation applications will be clean.
Pressing on your acne when
applying makeup
Do you have the habit of piling layers of makeup onto your
face? Always apply your makeup and
moisturizer with
light strokes. The added benefit of light facial handling is that you reduce
stretching and irritating your skin, a combination that can help limit the onset
of wrinkles and acne breakouts.
Not evenly applying concealers
and foundations
When applying makeup or a
moisturizer, spread it evenly across the entire
face. Keep in mind that hair styling products may have spread to your hairline
and this increases the chances of the pores getting congested and acne arising.
Add more concealer where you have acne outbreaks. Also, while
cleansing your
face, apply a warm cloth onto your hairline area to help remove the waxy
build-up that comes from hair styling agents, moisturizers and
makeup.
Before you go to bed
Wash your face throughly to remove all makeup before you go to bed, but
preferably as soon as you can after you return home. You want your skin to
breath and your acne to get as much fresh air as possible.
A note of caution:
Choose only oil-free makeup products that match your
skin tone. Oil-free is the key to success here so read the labels carefully. You
don't want to aggravate your existing acne problem by layering a fresh coat of
oil on skin that already has too much to begin with. Choose a hypoallergenic
brand while you're at it.
