Improve The Health of Your Skin

 Improve The Health of Your Skin

 

Get a Face massage

It may sound silly, but a facial massage is a great way to keep the skin looking young. Many spas offer this type of massage during facials. It helps stimulate the cells which helps to restore collagen and elasticity to slow down the ageing process.

 

Drink Less Alcohol

For a beautiful complexion limit your alcohol consumption to less than one drink per day. Alcohol has been known to cause increased oil production and enlarged pores.

 

Exfoliate

Exfoliating on a regular basis is a great way to improve the overall health, look and feel of your skin. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells for  smooth skin. This will make the skin appear brighter as well as providing a smoother surface for makeup application. It also unclogs pores which is vital because clogged pores can lead to acne and blackheads. Exfoliation also allows the skin to better absorb products used on the skin. Never  scrub the skin hard or use harsh exfoliants. If you want to exfoliate well, just exfoliate for longer periods of time. It is not recommended to exfoliate everyday, just 3-4 times per week.  

 

Wear Sunscreen

Wearing sunscreen is one of the most important things you can do for he health of your skin. Shielding the skin from harmful UV rays protects against dryness, redness, sunspots, wrinkles, and melanoma. Its best to use a daily moisturizer with sunscreen. If your moisturizer doesn't have SPF, mix in a lightweight moisturizer and use it everyday... even in the winter!

Foods For A Glowing Complexion

Blueberries
One of the healthiest fruits for your skin! When compared with 40 fruits and vegetables by the U.S. Department of Agriculture it was ranked number one in antioxidant activity. Antioxidants protect the skin from premature aging. 

Wild Salmon
This fish has lots of omega-3 fatty acids, which help keeps your skin supple and hydrated. These acids actually slow down the wrinkling process and fight acne. Both wrinkling and acne are caused by inflammation. Eating salmon or fish rich in omega-3s 3 times per week, or taking a daily fish oil supplement can significantly lower inflammation. Salmon also contains a mineral called selenium, which protects the skin from exposure to the harsh rays of the sun.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, an anti-aging antioxidant. Tomatoes have also been known to clear up acne, by lowering an acne promoting hormone. Try eating tomatoes or tomato-based foods at least 3 times per week. But remember, lycopene is more easily absorbed when the tomatoes are cooked. 

Green tea

Green tea is also packed with antioxidants that have anti-aging benefits and help fight acne. Drink 3 cups per day to reap all the benefits!

Sweet Potatoes

This vegetable is loaded with the anti-aging antioxidant, beta carotene. Beta carotene can protect the skin from sun damage.

PFB

What is  Pseudofolliculitis Barbae? (PFB)

Well, lets break it down. Pseudo means related to, Folliculitis means follicle, and barbae means beard. So... it's related to the follicle in the beard. Pseudo Folliculitis Barbae is the medical term for a condition in which chronic razor bumps and ingrown hairs occur, also known as barber itch.

Although PFB is common on the male face, it can also occur on any other part of the body that is shaved, plucked or waxed. It happens most often in sensitive areas where the hair is thick and curly, such as the genital area and arm pits.

Why Does it Happen?

After a hair has been removed it will grow back. Upon re-growth, curly hair has a tendency to curl under the skin causing ingrown hair. The inflammation that occurs as a result of this is known as PFB. Skin afflicted by PFB is usually red and sometimes can look like an acne outbreak.

Prevention and Treatment

Of course the best way to prevent PFB is not to shave or wax. However, for many people this is not possible. Men are urged to wait until their beard has grown to 1 mm before shaving to prevent the hair from curling under the skin. If the skin becomes very irritated, refraining from shaving until the inflammation clears up is also recommended.

Multiple blade razors should never be used. If the shave is too close, PFB is more likely to occur. Instead a single blade razor or an electric razor should be used. Shaving in the direction of the hair growth rather than against it can also help prevent PFB.

To treat PFB on the face as well as other areas on the skin, a product containing glycolic acid and salicylic acid has been proven effective.

How to Fight Dry Skin

How To Fight Dry Skin

Stay Hydrated
The skin is an organ, and all organs in the body need water. If you do not take in enough water, your organs will not function properly. When skin lacks adequate hydration, it becomes dry and flakey. This can lead to wrinkles. The recommended 8 glasses of water per day may not be enough. Drinking 8 glasses will keep your body healthy, but since the water you drink will reach all other organs first, you may need to drink more water to see a change in the health of your skin.

Drinking that much water in one day can be difficult. Luckily there are other ways to keep skin hydrated and moisturized. Fruits and vegetables are made up of a water, some of them 75% water. Eating plenty of fruits and veggies not only keeps your skin hydrated, but also offers many other skin beautifying benefits.
Another way to keep skin hydrated is to apply moisturizer immediately after a shower. The warm water from the shower opens up the skin's pores. While the pores are open, the skin is more receptive to moisturizing products.

Cut Out The Hot Baths and Showers
Although a hot shower or a soak in the tub feels great, it will dry out your skin. Hot water opens the pours and allows moisture to escape. Try showering with luke-warm water. If this seems unimaginable, make sure you use soaps free of harsh detergents and use body lotion immediately after. Try to keep your relaxing soaks in the bath down to 10 minutes once a week!

Exfoliate Less
While exfoliating is great for removing dead skin cells and dirt on the surface of the skin, it should only be done 3 times per week. If dry skin is a problem, exfoliating can only make it worse because it will further irritate dry, flakey or red skin. Its best to use a gentle cleanser and exfoliate GENTLY 3 times per week or less if skin is very dry.
