is the largest organ in your body and you need to take care of it. Below are the best cleansing skin care tips to help you with the cleansing of your skin.

The most important cleansing skin care tip is to rinse well! After washing your skin, make sure you thoroughly rinse off all of the cleanser. If any is left on your skin, it may continue to cleanse, which causes dryness and irritation.

DID YOU KNOW tap water alone will only remove around 65% of the dirt and oil on your skin. That’s why skin cleansers were created. They work as agents to remove dirt, excess natural skin oils, bacteria, cosmetics, and exfoliated surface skin cells. To get the most out of your cleanser, choose one that’s appropriate for your skin type like oily, dry, or normal.

Cleansing Skin Care Tip #1 – Sensitive Skin Cleanse with gentle, milky, water-soluble lotions, and tepid water. Avoid gels or soaps that contain drying alcohol, preservatives, or strong-acting acids. Avoid exfoliating scrubs or astringents, which can cause inflammation.

Cleansing Skin Care Tip #2 – Dry Skin Use a cleansing cream that contains non-detergent and rinses off easily. Use hard-milled cleansing bars and gentle face cleansers for drier skin, or try a liquid cleanser with a cleansing sheet that won’t strip away essential oils on the skin. Stay away from hot water – it makes your skin lose moisture.

Cleansing Skin Care Tip #3 – Oily Skin Use a gentle, foaming facial wash to remove dirt and oil without stripping away the fats that are needed to maintain moisture. Oily skin types should avoid wax-based cleansers, which can clog oil-prone pores.

Cleansing Skin Care Tip #4 – Combination Skin Use a foaming facial wash in the mornings to keep oily areas clean. In the evening, use a cream cleanser to soothe dry areas. Indulge in a regular clay-based masque to help an oil-prone nose, chin, and forehead area while a cream or gel masque will moisture dry areas of the face.

Cleansing Skin Care Tip #5 – Normal Skin Experiment with various liquid and soap gels to cleansing sheets. Choose a mild cleanser or gel cleanser and rinse with tepid water. Soap usually works well for the hands. Mild cleansers should be used even if you have normal skin. Use it on folds and genital areas.

Why is cleansing skin care important? The best cleansers are non-irritating, safe for sensitive skin, and won’t clog pores or cause acne. Your skin’s surface becomes clogged with debris, sweat, air pollution, excess oil, and bacteria. If you cleanse your skin with regular soap (they are made from fats, oils, and salt) and your skin is sensitive, the soap can plug hair follicles, leaving your skin dry and flaky. As soaps can excessively degrease the surface of the skin, it can also increase bacteria, leading to cellular damage.

David Cassell asked:

niversal truth that glowing, youthful skin is something that both men and women have tried to achieve. Barring that you have a skin condition that needs a doctor’s attention, an anti aging skin care guide should be simple to comprehend and implement.

There is no need to put cucumbers and a green mask on your face for long periods of time or spend a fortune on the latest anti aging skin care treatment. Simply follow the tips below and you will have vibrant skin for much longer than you expected.

Tip #1 – Stay out of the sun.

The sun is a double edged sword when it comes to overall health.

On the one hand, it will help the body’s production of vitamin D which is important for having good teeth and healthy bones. On the other hand, over exposure to the sun may actually cause skin cancer or negatively affect the texture of your skin.

It is important to shield yourself from the sun’s rays if you plan on being outside for long periods. You could wear a broad hat or put on sunscreen.

Sunscreen is effective to an extent, but after a while, the chemicals in it break down under exposure to the sun. This compromises the protection it offers.

Over exposure to the sun also adversely affects your body’s production of hyaluronic acid, which is a key component of your skin whose function is to repair tissue. The harmful UVB rays in the sun (sunburn) damage the skin cells, causing the dermis to reduce its production of hyaluronic acid over time.

So, the key is to limit your exposure to the sun.

Tip #2 – Drink more water.

Can you think of a cheaper, easier to implement anti skin care treatment? People just don’t seem to drink enough water. Clean water too, not the bacteria filled water that comes from the taps. Buying a water filter, will remove the harmful elements contained in water.

Water hydrates the skin and gives it a radiant glow. Considering that our bodies are 70% water, start drinking about 5-8 glasses a day. The skin is the largest organ in the body and needs sufficient water to keep it from drying out.

Tip #3 – Eat a Balanced Diet.

An anti aging skin care guide would be seriously lacking if it doesn’t include the importance of eating a balanced diet.

When it comes to skin care health, eating leafy green vegetables like spinach and broccoli as well as eating berries is advisable.

A lot of the visible signs of aging is caused my free radical damage. Free radicals are molecules that have the effect on your body similar to the rusting of metal. Green vegetables and berries are rich in antioxidants which fight free radicals.

Taking supplements like fish oil and a good multi-vitamin is another effective way to reduce free radical damage. These supplements contains a fair amount of antioxidants and should also be a part your skin care regimen.

Skin Care Products.

Whilst the aforementioned tips are very effective, there is a place in your skin care regimen for skin care products.

A quality anti aging skin care treatment cream can augment the good results you’ll experience from using the tips above.

A high quality anti aging skin care treatment cream should do the following:

1. Stimulate collagen and elastin production within the body. These two substances help to keep your skin supple and firm. Lack of it is partly responsible for the sagging skin.

CoenzymeQ10, phytessence wakame and nanobelle, found in some creams, can help the body boost its production of elastin and collagen.

Don’t be too quick to purchase a collagen cream because the molecules of synthetic collagen are too big to penetrate the skin. So be weary of any anti aging skin care cream that promotes collagen as a wonder substance.

2. Hydrate the skin without being too greasy. Hydrated skin isn’t dry or cracked and has a softer, more supple appearance.

3. Reduce fine lines and wrinkles especially around the mouth and eyes. It should also smooth out color inconsistencies on the skin and reduce spotting associated with getting old.

Don’t stop here in your quest for a youthful looking skin. Science is always evolving. Use the information given here to spur you on to doing further research into proper skin care.

Things to make you go mmm…

 

Traditionally, the beginning of a new year is seen as the time for assessing one’s lifestyle. Bad habits are given the boot and a new healthy way of living is embraced. Gyms are jam-packed with enthusiastic newbies eagerly trying to burn away the Christmas calories and diet books fly off the shelves like hot cakes. But how long does this motivation last? As the months pass, the prospect of life without chocolate and tasty treats usually starts to wane. So what can we do?

 

Treat yourself…

 

Those who have experienced a professional massage will be familiar with the process – slip into a soft cotton robe, relax to the soothing background music and feel your worries lift away whilst aromatic oils are massaged deeply into your tired aching muscles – pure bliss!

 

The range of spa treatments and techniques available vary significantly, as each unique spa provides its own methods and signature treatments, but the exciting news is that there is a new trend coming to a spa near you…

 

Edible spa treatments

 

Whilst oils and creams have previously been used for spa treatments, the latest innovation to hit the spa world is edible ingredients.

Many spas now boast a variety of tempting treatments using chocolate, wine, coffee and honey as their main ingredients.

Over the years, scientists have (thankfully) discovered that chocolate is actually very good for us; it contains essential antioxidants (important for the prevention of heart disease, cancer and cell damage), vitamins, minerals and has a mild anti-depressant effect. Coffee and red wine are also a rich source of antioxidants.

 

Where to go…

 

The 5-star Sungate Port Royal Deluxe Resort in Turkey offers food/drink based treatments that promise to leave skin silky soft and smooth. They also offer an ‘Astrological Face Care’ treatment, where a tailored face-mask is created (according to the individual’s zodiac sign) with fresh fruit and vegetables.

 

The Moevenpick Hotel & Resort Beirut  offers a delectable ‘Chocoholic’ treatment, which starts with a full-body exfoliation of smooth dark chocolate and crushed almonds, followed by a chocolate massage and chocolate bath. The treatment ends with a sumptuous chocolate wrap.

 

Both chocolate and olive oil massages are available at Hesperia Alicante Golf & Spa Hotel. These massage treatments eliminate tension and will create a deep sense of calm.

 

Good for the soul

 

So, when you begin to feel a little weighed down with faddy diets and unrealistic New Year’s resolutions, treat yourself to a tempting spa treatment – a lovely way to enjoy rich food without the calories.

 

Guilt-free treats – what more could you ask for?

Daniel da Silva asked:

s are little annoying dark spots that show up on our face and body as a form of acne. Unfortunately, these little spots are hard to get rid of and dwell deep underneath your skin. Many people think that you can get rid of blackheads by just squeezing them until they pop. However, this is a very big misconception. By squeezing them, you make your skin look worse by forcing the germs deeper into your skin.

Below is a few different methods that you should definitely avoid when trying to get rid of blackheads.

Avoid using blackhead extractors and removers. A lot of these type of products are advertised in infomercials and on the internet. However, the truth is that most of these blackhead extractors can actually cause damage to your skin and make it look worse than it was before. Blackhead extractors are expensive and can damage your skin and complexion as a result.

Don’t scrub your face. If you use harsh skin-scrubbing cloths, you will actually do more harm then good. Scrubbing cloths actually irritate the skin which can make the infections even worse. You will also clog your pores with more puss and oil by scrubbing your face with harsh abrasives and cloths.

Avoid using oil-based cosmetics. Skin treatments that are made from oil will also clog your pores and result in more blackheads that are hard to get rid of. The reason why they cause more blackheads is because your skin can’t naturally break down these chemicals. Also, make sure you wash your face before you go to bed at night to remove any make-up or cosmetics on your face.

Avoid using methods such as blackhead removal gels and creams. Most of these gels and creams contain harsh ingredients that will aggravate your skin and leave you feeling more annoyed than ever.

So what really works for getting rid of blackheads and blemishes?

Now that you understand what methods to avoid when getting rid of blackheads, now let’s talk about how you can remove these annoying little dark spots and improve your skin’s complexion at the same time.

The problem with most blackhead removal techniques is that they don’t fix the root of the problem. Removal gels, creams, and extractors don’t go deep enough under your skin where the problem lies. You need a treatment that does more than just cleanse the surface of the skin. In order to attack blackheads and acne problems at the source, you need a treatment that can dig deep enough inside your pores where the root of the problem lies.

The presence of blackheads on the skin is a common problem for those in their teens, in their early twenties and even those who are in their thirties and forties, especially those with oily skin. Blackheads are considered to be pilosebaceous disorder. The sebaceous glands, the hair follicle, and the hair strand itself constitute the pilosebaceous units under the skin.

James Allen asked:

If you’ve crossed that line into your thirties, you may have started to worry about how old you look. This is the point in your life where every fine line or even the hint of a developing crease or wrinkle has you fretting. Don’t worry though, it’s never too late to take care of your skin. The following tips will help your anti-aging efforts as you enter into the best years of your life.

Don’t Smoke

Does this even need to be said? Unfortunately, judging by the number of women in their thirties who still light up, it does. Apparently the risk of cancer is not enough to convince many women to quit. Maybe if they knew how quickly the appearance of their skin is aging because of cigarettes, they might consider going cold turkey. Nothing puts wrinkles and creases on your face and steals the suppleness and glow of healthy skin like tobacco. If you smoke, nothing will improve your skin’s health and appearance faster than quitting ASAP.

Another tip: If you don’t smoke, but spend a lot of time around those who do, get away from them. Second hand smoke isn’t helping you look any younger either.

Discover The Wonders Of Olive Oil

Sure, you can spend a lot of money on name-brand skin care products. You’re a woman in her thirties though, and you’re smart enough to look for more value for your shopping dollar. When it comes to skin care, nothing beats the price or effectiveness of quality olive oil. You can use it as a moisturizer directly on the skin. Others prefer to add a few tablespoons to the bath while they soak. Ask around, and you’ll soon find that many women have already discovered how much of a difference using olive oil can make on their skin.

Respect The Sunshine

Maybe you spent a lot of time in your twenties working on the perfect tan. If you did, you may already have started seeing some of the long-term negative aging results of all that ultra-violet light on your skin. While it is important for your health to get at least a little bit of sunshine every day, you shouldn’t be basking in it for hours at a time any more. Enjoy the sun, but stop baking your skin in it. Use sunblock if you’re going to be outside for any length of time.

Remember, you don’t need a tan to look young and healthy. Also, don’t think for a moment that tanning booths are a safe alternative – they may still cause long term damage and cause the appearance of your skin to age much more rapidly then you’d like.

Enjoy your thirties and consider the above anti-aging skin care tips as you plan you daily routine. Don’t worry about it too much though – worry itself can cause stress that will only add years to your face and could take years from your life.

Vikram kuamr asked:

Whether you’ve just begun to notice the effects of aging on your face or if you are looking for products to reverse some of the more obvious wrinkles and sagging in your skin, you may be bewildered by the huge array of skin care products on the market. This is a brief discussion of some of the ingredients which have a proven effective skin care on aging skin.

 

Whether you are young or not so young, always look for products that contain a sunscreen. It has been proven that exposure to UV light creates most of the signs of aging in human skin. High quality effective skin care products generally contain sunscreen. The rating of sunscreen you chose will depend on your particular complexion and the amount of sun exposure you usually receive.

 

Hyaluronic acid is a component found naturally in human skin. It aids in cell reproduction and is used in injectable form to reduce wrinkles in much the same way as collagen. High quality anti aging skin care treatments almost always contain hyaluronic acid.

 

Antioxidants are known to be contained in the best anti aging skin care.  Antioxidants fight free radicals which contribute to the aging process. Doctors often counsel patients to consume foods that are rich in antioxidants for improve health. Antioxidants can also be absorbed through the skin.

 

Aloe Vera is a plant which has been known to be an effective skin care treatment for centuries. Aloe Vera has anti inflammatory and anti bacterial qualities; it soothes the pain of burns and wounds and promotes faster healing. 

 

Collagen is a connective tissue found in healthy youthful skin. Collagen helps the skin retain moisture giving it a fuller, firmer appearance. The best anti aging skin care includes collagen as an ingredient. Most often the collagen comes from sheep.

 

Peptides are bond that join two or more amino acids. Peptides are building blocks and may cause stimulation of hormones or enzymes in the skin. Most good anti aging skin care includes peptides in their ingredients.

 

Glycol is fruit acid, commonly used in facial peels, which exfoliates skin removing dead skin cells and exposing fresher, newer skin beneath.

 

Emu oil is relatively new to the international skin care scene. Emu oil is an effective skin care treatment for many conditions and is useful in anti aging skin care. It has a higher than normal ability to be absorbed deeply into the skin. Emu oil contains high levels of omega fatty acids, including omega-9, omega-6 and omega-3. These amino acids are building blocks which can restore youthful qualities and stimulate cell regeneration. Emu oil also has anti inflammatory effects and can reduce puffiness.

 

Good anti aging skin care treatments address several of the problems associated with age including uneven skin pigmentation, puffiness, dryness, wrinkles and sagging. It takes a combination of ingredients for effective skin care of all these elements. While surgery can address some of these problems, it cannot address them all. Surgery is expensive and has risks associated with it. Look at the products you have for skin care and if you don’t find these ingredients, look for products which have some or all of them for effective skin care of aging skin.

iulian asked:

Know your skin type. Generally there are four skin types: oily, dry, sensitive and combination.

o    Dry Skin: If your skin has a strong tendency toward dehydration, lacks oil, and has few breakouts if any at all, it is considered dry. In more extreme cases, dry skin lacks elasticity and can be extremely sensitive to the sun, wind, and cold temperatures. Wash your face once a day with a rich, creamy cleanser and warm water. Rinse with warm water and pat your skin dry. Use toner to help with that tight and flaky feeling of dehydration. Avoid toners and makeup that contain alcohol as alcohol-based products have a drying effect on skin.

o    Oily Skin:If your skin is oily, it usually has a lot of shine to it very soon after cleansing and the pores are generally slightly enlarged. It is more prone to pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads than other skin types and is coarser in texture. Your skin tends to attract more dirt than dry skin, so wash your face twice a day with a gentle non-foaming cleanser and warm water. Rinse with warm water. Use an alcohol-free, hydrating toner to help remove additional residue. Oil blotting sheets through out the day can help control shine, and it takes as little as 3 minutes after lunch.

o    Normal Skin: Some consider normal skin to be Combination skin, but it is not. If your skin is marked by oily skin in the T zone and dry, taut skin on the cheeks, and changes with seasons (dryer in winter, oilier in summer) it is considered normal. Normal skins can also be ‘Normal-To’s’ as in normal to oily or normal to dry. Wash your face with cleansers that are designed for your normal/normal-to skin type. Wipe an alcohol free, hydrating toner all over the face. Apply moisturizer more frequently to dry skin.

o    Sensitive Skin: Please note that may have sensitive skin AND normal, oily, or dry. If your skin has allergic reactions to beauty products and is usually sensitive to the sun, wind, and cold weather, it is sensitive. Sensitivity can show up in rashiness, redness, inflammation, acne, and dilated capillaries. Look for cleansers, toners, makeup, and moisturizers that are fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. Cleanse, tone and moisturize with gentle products everyday. The idea for your skin is to always choose products with a soothing benefit. Some common ingredients to look for are: chamomile, azulene, bisabolol, allantoin, lavender, camphor, calamine, rosemary, thyme, aloe vera etc.

o    Combination Skin: Combination skin is truly two extreme skin types on one face. These situations occur when there is acne and a lot of oil in one area when the rest of the skin is generally not producing oil and dry. Two common examples are a dry skin with papular and pustular acne on the cheeks or a normal skin with inflamed papular and pustular acne in the chin and mouth area. For Combination skins, treat each area appropriatly as described above. If the acne is severe, consult a dermatologist or esthetician.You need to watch out for your skin.

Tips

•    Sunscreen is the real fountain of youth. Get into the habit of applying sunscreen or a lotion with minimum SPF 15 to 30 protection daily. Remember the sun’s rays can still be damaging in winter months as it reflects off snow. If you don’t like taking the time to put on both moisturizer and sunscreen, buy a moisturizer WITH sunscreen.

•    Use homemade masks to moisturize your skin. They’re easy to make, and they really work! For instance, a mixture of grapes, lemon and egg white is very helpful for oily skin and honey promotes the healing of ulcers and burns.

•    Washing your face with plain refrigerated yogurt every night makes most acne cases vanish within a few days.

•    Carefully choose your facial scrub to match your pore size. The type and size of the grains in the face scrub can actually make the difference between exfoliated and irritated skin.

•    Avoid stretching or pulling on the delicate skin near your eyes when putting on creams or cosmetics. This delicate area shows age markings like wrinkles much sooner than it should when subjected to too much rough handling.

•    Never coat your entire face in foundation. Chances are, you only need a little bit in areas you are most self- conscious in.

•    Wash all cosmetics off as soon as you know you will not be going out again and avoid wearing cosmetics whenever possible to give your skin a rest.

•    Change the applicators and clean the brushes you use to apply make-up on a consistent basis. Bacteria and oils can build up in these places and then be spread back on the skin each time make-up is applied.

•    Wash your pillowcase often and avoid wearing hair products to bed. The combination of hair products and facial oils on the pillowcase can cause blemishes.

•    Never pick at a blemish. Many poor results come of picking at breakouts, such as scarring, infection, or permanant enlargement of the pore. You are also more likely to get another breakout in the same place over time.

•    Avoid touching your skin as much as possible.

•    Clean your cellphone and any other device that may come in contact with your skin.

•    Oil blotting sheets can help absorb oil through the day so you are not tempted to re-apply powder or foundation, or overwash your face.

•    Vitamins are essential for healthy skin, especially vitamins A, B,and C. Vitamin E helps to improve the complexion when applied externally.

Warnings

•    Over washing skin can make it red and sore. It can also damage the skin.

•    Choose a sunblock specifically meant for your face as some sunblocks can cause breakouts unless specifically designed for the face.

•    Use caution when using any product containing acids or peroxides such as acne creams and fade creams. These increase the skins’ sensitivity to sun and may cause redness and peeling.

•    Never allow anyone to ‘pop’ or otherwise break open a blemish. This is a very unsafe practice as bacteria and germs can enter through the broken skin. And if you do ‘pop’ a blemish add alcohol to reduce the chance of infection.

•    Toner can dry out skin if used too often
