RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO SQUEEZE PIMPLES!

RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO SQUEEZE PIMPLES!

Acne is by far the most common skin problem that brings women and even men to the dermatologists. Professional help ensures that acne, in the mild and severe forms gets minimized as far as possible, leaving behind a minimal amount of scars.

However, if you are one of those who just can't resist touching and squeezing your pimples, sit up and listen. Fiddling with or forcibly squeezing pimples can actually cause permanent scarring of the skin, which is definitely more traumatic than having an ugly looking scar itself. Easier said than done, but it is important that you do not get into the allurement of getting rid of that horrible looking pimple right away, by simply squeezing it.

Instead, what you can actually do is to keep an acne stick handy. This is a kind of cosmetic which looks like a pen and can be just applied on the pimple like a dot. Also, keep the specialized anti acne creams and ointments at hand, which will help you resist the temptation till you reach your doctor.

PREGNANCY AND YOUR SKIN

PREGNANCY AND YOUR SKIN

Pregnancy is one time in your life when your entire existence goes under a major upheaval. From physical changes to mental metamorphosis, everything comes under the weather, for good or for worse.

If everything else is to change, how can your skin be left out? After all, it is your skin that holds you together and hence is now responsible for accommodating another human being inside. As is evident from this, the first and most prominent impact on your skin is that of stretch marks. As your skin stretches to make more space, it leads to the purplish or pinkish stretch marks in the process.

Second comes the impact of any physical weakness due to pregnancy that might show on your skin. Well, most women suffer from iron deficiencies and the like during their pregnancy. When this does happen, it shows on your skin in form of paleness, dark under-eye circles and much more.

DOES STRESS AFFECT YOUR SKIN?

DOES STRESS AFFECT YOUR SKIN?

Your skin holds whole of your body together. It is the single-most organ of the body facing the external environment and changes, all by itself.

Hence, it is quite natural for your skin to be amongst the first to get affected by any physical or psychological upheaval. For instance, if you happen to be in an environment full of dust, you are bound to notice the impact on your skin just after a few hours. Similarly, stress shows up on your face before anything else. The minute you have a tense moment, those close to you can immediately make out from the signs on your face.

God forbid, if you happen to be under a stress for the most part of your day, eventually the fine lines in your skin will begin to reflect just that. And the situation surely worsens if you are in your 30s or beyond, because that's when the skin's resistance is at its lowest.

WHEN TO WORRY ABOUT ACNE

WHEN TO WORRY ABOUT ACNE

Acne has come from being a mere teenage concern to almost an epidemic today. With increased beauty awareness, even the adolescents do not want to live with this menace anymore and want to do all they can to save themselves from acne.

If you too are prone to suffer from this skin problem, then first determine your skin type. Chances are that you have an oily skin or a normal one. Whatever your skin type is, it is alright to have a pimple or two now or then. But you really need to worry when you are developing a new pimple, papule or even a couple of new blackheads everyday.

If every morning you get up and see a few new spots, that too with a scary red color, its time you took note. Stop using any faulty soaps and cosmetics right away and consult a good dermatologist. If you do not attend to them in time, acne can actually lead to more serious skin diseases, curing which will then be a major task.

TACKLING WHITEHEADS

TACKLING WHITEHEADS

These ugly little white spots on your face might look a bit less scary than the blackheads, but believe me, they are more hazardous and a result of a greater malfunction.

Well, these whiteheads are caused when the hardened sebum or oil get accumulated in the skin. Since the clogged grease does not get oxidized due to exposure to air, the color doesn't turn black.

If you happen to have whiteheads, you should immediately take to deep pore cleansing. Use a mixture of beauty grains and skin tonic to help you, since the gentle dermabrasive works softly on your skin and finally dislodges the whiteheads over a specific period of time.

In addition, never try to remove whiteheads forcibly, even with a blac extractor. You might just end up scarring the skin in the process. In the case of milia, as they are also known, the pores are not open and hence, forcible removal will only add to the problem.
