Stressing out your skin!

Stressing out your skin! The role stress plays in our lives can be both good and bad. The role it plays in how we look is however, not good. Stress affects not only how we feel but how our skin looks. A growing body of research points to stress as being a significant causative factor in the development of many skin conditions from psoriasis, to acne, to sensitive and dehydrated skin. The worse thing is, the more we stress about it, the worse it tends to get.

From acne to eczema research shows us that during times of acute stress, rashes and breakouts become worse, sometimes significantly so. It also points to the potential role of chronic low-grade stress as a causative factor in persistent skin conditions.

Stress can affect our appearance in a number of ways including increased perspiration, brittle nails, dry, thinning hair and sensitive more reactive skin. In existing skin conditions, stress can worsen symptoms by:

Acne lesions and breakouts become more inflamed, last longer and take longer to heal.

Worsening of the inflammation (redness) and dryness in eczema and rosacea

Increased tendency to flushing and blushing

Increased incidence of congestion and oily skin due to sebum production

Increased sensitivity to irritants and infections agents

These effects are primarily caused by the impact of stress on skin permeability. In most chronic skin conditions there is an abnormality in the skin’s permeability barrier. The body responds by trying to repair the barrier and in the process initiates an inflammatory process in the deeper layers of the skin with the result of worsening skin symptoms. Even in people without existing skin conditions, stress has the ability to reduce skin permeability and increase dehydration and sensitivity. This may go some way to explaining why some people react to certain topical agent only some of the time; generally skin permeability is normal however during times of stress it is affected leaving skin more vulnerable to irritation.

When exposed to stress, hormonal and chemical levels increase. The classic flight or fight response is triggered by the release of adrenaline and norepinephrine – our body’s are readying for an emergency, which most of the time doesn’t occur. Glucocorticoids are also released from the adrenal glands, and when stress is ongoing it leads to the decrease in skin barrier function. Interestingly, while a decreased barrier function often causes water loss, increased oil production can also occur due to the role of stress in the disruption of normal hormonal balance and an increase in substance P. So yes it is possible to have moisture dehydrated skin and be oily (usually through the T-zone) at the same time.

In addition to stress directly affecting skin permeability, chronic stress can also affect the functioning of the immune system. Stress down regulates the immune system making us more susceptible to infection. It also plays havoc with skin conditions that have immune involvement such as psoriasis, eczema, cold sores and shingles, most commonly causing worsening skin condition. Stressed individuals are also more likely to eat and sleep less healthily or be more likely to drink more alcohol further suppressing the immune system.

So how does stress reduction help with the treatment of skin conditions? Firstly, it helps by decreasing the release of pro-inflammatory hormones, which results in less inflammation, redness and rash like symptoms. It also reduces blood vessel hyper-activity resulting in less frequent skin flushing, which is particularly important in rosacea. Time will see an improvement in skin permeability, which means greater hydration and less sensitivity. Oiliness will improve as hormones settle back to normal. This may take up to 3 months. Reducing stress will result overall in better condition both for those with existing skin disorders as well as those with normal skin.

Taking the time to incorporate some simple stress reducing techniques into your daily routine will help improve the condition of your skin:

Avoid excessive consumption of stimulants such as coffee and soft drink. One caffeine-containing drink per day is ample. Drink green tea instead of coffee if you are sensitive.

Exercise can significantly reduce stress levels. The release of endorphins following exercise increases feelings of happiness and wellbeing. It also results in increased circulation and nutrition to your skin.

Meditation or breathing techniques. Meditation reduces cortisol release and increases immune function – ideal if you are suffering from a skin condition. If you are a beginner, take a class in Buteko breathing or follow a guided meditation.

Alcohol and smoking suppress the immune system. Smoking has many detrimental effects on the skin and so is best avoided completely. In moderation, alcohol consumption may help reduce stress however it is a fine and individual line, so stick to physician guidelines – one standard drink per day for women and two for men. In addition, try to go without at least 2 days per week.

Acne Treatment You Should Consider First

Acne Treatment You Should Consider First Acne can vary from mild to very severe, with the severe conditions being extremely debilitating and distressing. It is also one of the commonest forms of skin disorder, affecting almost one person in sixteen in America alone, that’s about 17 million people. And almost 85% of the population between the ages of 12 and 24 years will experience some form of acne during that period.

Of course although it is mainly seen as a young persons problem, acne is certainly not restricted to them and many adults suffer. Women seem to be more prone to acne in adulthood, with over a quarter of women in their forties reporting problems.

Fortunately there are things that we can do to lessen the chances of us getting acne, and to cope with it if we are unfortunate enough to be affected.

Probably the most basic thing is personal hygiene. Good practise is to clean your skin at least twice a day. Use a mild cleanser, and don’t scrub your skin, this can aggravate acne and spread it. Be gentle, and dry your skin by patting it with a towel rather than rubbing it. Also don’t forget to change your towels regularly.

On the subject of changing, change your clothes frequently, paying particular attention to the garments worn next to the skin. Go for natural fabrics such as cotton. Avoid wearing synthetics such as nylon and lycra these will trap body moisture and warmth enabling the acne causing bacteris to multiply and spread. Loose, comfortable fitting clothing is best.

When you wash your clothes, pay attention to the detergent you use. Go for a hypoallergenic detergent, these may be a little dearer but will not contain the sometimes harsh chemicals contained in many “ordinary” brands, some of them having been associated with cancer amongst other things. Your skin will thank you, and your incidence of acne will be less.

Exercise is very beneficial in the treatment and prevention of acne. One big benefit of exercise is the production of endorphins which are natural stress busters, and any acne sufferer will know that stress and depression will aggravate the condition. Of course it never hurts to keep fit anyway, but just a brisk walk two or three times a week will help. Remember to wear comfortable, loose clothing, preferably cotton, as mentioned before.

You can also help treat your acne with some common items found in most homes. Try dipping some cotton wool into the juice of freshly squeezed oranges and lemons. Dab it onto the affected areas. Let it dry, then gently wash off after about half an hour.

If you don’t mind the smell, you can use fresh garlic, just peel the cloves, cut in half and rub on the acne. The natural antibiotic effect works wonders. In a similar vein, and less smelly, you can use potatoes as well, just peel and slice and rub onto your skin.

Not only do these help fight the acne, minimising redness, soreness, and itching, they also have a gentle cleansing effect on your skin. Try using some or all of the above and start managing your acne instead of it managing you.

Skin Acne Treatment The Natural Way

Skin Acne Treatment The Natural Way We all know that acne can be one of the most depressing and debilitating conditions that a young person can have. Alright, it’s not likely to kill you like cancer but it usually surfaces just at the time of our lives when we want to look good for the opposite sex.

Why is this happening to me? is what people usually say. It is probably making you thoroughly miserable, and you can’t be blamed for being totally fed up with it. You must find the best skin acne treatment as soon as possible. Now it’s quite likely that you will have tried many of the proprietary creams or lotions from the pharmacist, in the hope of a quick and simple solution to the problem.

They do work for some people, to varying extents, but you may well have found that, for you, they just don’t work at all. It’s difficult to generalise, but the reason is normally because the cause of acne is largely an internal one and that the application of topical agents to the skin after the blemishes have appeared is rather like locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.

The acne sopts are actually caused by a bacterium in our skin. All of us have the bacterium in our skin but quite why it cases a problem for some people but not others is unknown. Acne is a complex condition and the causes can be many and varied. But for the majority of us, the cause can often be traced back to either diet or hormones or both.

Fortunately there are now a number of downloadable programs offering a skin acne treatment that teach you how to modify your diet, your lifestyle and habits to reduce the severity of your acne and ultimately banish it completely. This is the method I used to tackle my acne, about three years ago, and I’d say it normally takes between three and six months for the new diet to become fully effective.

Now, you’ll probably notice that the programs claim to work extremely quickly, in one night even! Well, that sounds like a bit of sales hype to me but they are worth trying because if you don’t, and you’re saddled with acne for ever more it’ll always be a source of regret.

Skin Cleansing 101: Learn From The Skin Experts Using Obagi to Clean Skin More Effectively What’s your skin type? It may seem like a simple question, but knowing your skin type, then washing with the right products, is the vital first step to beautiful skin. The cleansers and tools you choose to wash your face can not only make your skin care products work more effectively, but make your skin look better than ever before.

What you first need to determine is your skin type and condition – whether it’s oily, normal, dry or some combination. You may also be dealing with certain conditions such as acne or rosacea. Most skin types should use mild, lukewarm water. Those with roseaca will benefit from cool water.

Cleansing tools. What you use to wash your face is also important. Have you ever imagined what’s in that wet washcloth of yours? Hold on – because you’re going to be surprised. Believe it or not, your soggy washcloth could be the host of millions of bacteria! So, what else can you use?

A much better choice would be a powered skin care brush. This remarkable kind of cleansing brush removes six times more makeup, oil, and dead skin cells than a regular washcloth. And it does it all with sonic energy.

Sonic energy gently yet deeply cleanses the skin. Wrinkles, fine lines, roughness, uneven tone, skin pigmentation, and acne can all be improved with one of the many powered skin care brushes available today. They also help exfoliate rough, dead skin and build up the epidermis. Best of all, these sonic energy brushes are gentle enough for those with rosacea.

Cleansing agents. The next step is choosing the appropriate cleanser. If your skin is oily or acne prone, you need special ingredients in your cleanser that remove large amounts of oil. Some products have a 2% salicylic acid to kill bacteria and menthol to keep the skin surface calm. Other use anti-bacterial ingredients and botanicals to treat acne and reduce irritation.

If you have dry, sensitive, irritated skin or rosacea, your skin will benefit from gentle cleansers. Some of the best products have non-soap formulas, including willow bark, licorice root and lavender, to calm the skin and reduce redness.

Should you have either normal or a combination of skin types, you’ll want effective cleaning while keeping your pH balanced. Look for products that use a foaming gel to gently remove dirt, oil and makeup while correcting the pH balance of the skin.

Great looking and feeling skin is dependent upon how you start your cleansing regiment. Learning the proper way to cleanse and using the right products for your skin type will make all the difference in the world.

Natural Acne Treatment The Way To Go?

Natural Acne Treatment The Way To Go? These days natural acne treatment is the most favoured way for many people of managing their acne, and other skin problems. This of course is in no small way due to the much lower cost of natural remedies and their much reduced side-effects as opposed to more conventional chemical based treatments.

Tens of thousands of acne sufferers all over the world have spent numerous dollars on the latest advertised products that promise a miracle cure. Usually to be sadly disappointed when they don’t deliver.

Natural acne treatments do offer a viable, and effective, as well as low cost alternative. They can also be usually easily sourced and used in the privacy of your own home. Here we will go through just a few that you can try for yourself.

Just to kick off, at the risk of teaching my granny to suck eggs here, just a brief, simple overview of the basic cause of acne. This is of course not definitive, there are many factors, but here goes anyway. Bacteria are probably the commonest, and oldest, life form on the planet. They are everywhere, they cannot be avoided. They are certainly not all harmful to us. Many are in fact beneficial, if not indispensible.

The bacteria we as acne sufferers are concerned with are those bacterial enzymes that break down the triglyceride lipids in sebum into free fatty acids. The body’s response to the resulting inflammation is to summon white blood cells to the area to fight the invading bacteria, resulting in the familiar spots and pustules.

Right, lesson over, what can we do to help ourselves without resorting to expensive proprietory chemical based products, using predominantly natural acne treatment.

Acne can respond well to treatment with retinoids, OK this does sound like a chemical based product, but is in fact produced from vitamin A. These are principally in the form of creams and lotions that are applied externally to the affected area. They work by opening clogged pores, allowing accumulated debris to drain without squeezing (you know not to do that don’t you?)

Another weapon in the natural arsenal against acne is Tea-Tree oil. This is a well known natural antiseptic, commonly available, even in some supermarkets. This can be applied directly to your spots as it comes, using something like cotton wool. Or you can dilute it by about 75% with either water, or jojoba oil is very good, and use it as a face wash. Well, any area you are affected really.

Apart from it’s well known antiseptic properties, Tea-Tree oil helps to dry out the excess oils in the skin. This helps to reduce the development of acne. If you are interested, Tea-Tree oil comes from the Australian Melaleuca tree, and it’s properties were first discovered by the native aboriginals, who called it the Ti-Tree, so now you know.

You can also make and drink herbal water. There are many different recipes for herbal water, but an excellent one for the treatment of acne is to boil an ear of corn, together with a tablespoonful of fenugreek seeds in about two quarts of water. Strain into a suitable container, allow to cool. Keep it in your fridge, and drink as much as you like during the course of the day.

As well as helping your acne by keeping your liver flushed and healthy (the liver deals with excess hormones in the body, and these can aggravate the condition), you are also maintaining your water intake, and most of us do not drink enough water. Also, it’s a pleasant drink.

Coconut oil is an excellent natural acne treatment. Again it’s commonly available, and you just apply it as a lotion to the affected areas, as often as practical throughout the day, and at bedtime. You can also benefit from taking coconut oil internally. It has a pleasant, mild taste, take a spoonful three times a day. It comes as a liquid or semi-solid cream. The cream is easiest to use. It also makes a good alternative to butter if you want to avoid dairy products.

There are many more natural treatments for your acne and I shall be exploring some more of them in a future article. Start trying some of these remedies for yourself. Save your cash and do away with those nasty side effects.

How to Remove Blackheads Fast and Easy

One thing that many people end up doing is washing their faces too much or too often. For instance, do you find that after you have scrubbed your face that it looks a little red or that it feels a little tender to the touch?

Remember that from time to time, you should condition your skin, just like you condition your hair. There are many people who find that using a small amount of coconut oil or cocoa butter on their faces can keep it looking soft and healthy, while other people find that just using a little bit of walnut oil can be quite effective. Take a moment to consider what your skin needs. From time to time, some vitamin E oil can be excellent when you are looking into keeping your skin looking good.

When you want to learn how to remove blackheads, remember that prevention is essential. Take a moment and consider what your options are going to be and how you are going to get the skin that you love.

How To Remove Blackheads Without Leaving Scarring

How To Remove Blackheads Without Leaving Scarring Blackheads; those ugly, dirty looking spots on our faces that just seem to pop up out of nowhere, no matter what we do. How to remove blackheads without leaving scarring? And how can we “dump” acne once and for all, so that we don’t even have to worry about those nasty blackheads to begin with?

Getting rid of blackheads may seem like it can never happen, but that’s not true. Some products on the market, including those that exfoliate and contain benzoyl peroxide, can be very effective on how to remove blackheads without leaving scarring. And, these methods treat other types of acne breakouts pretty effectively, too.

Of course, some of these things can be pretty harsh, so if you have particularly sensitive skin, you’ll want to use a method whereby you certainly take care of how to remove blackheads, but protect your skin at the same time. Gentler products, such as those that contain salicylic acid, may effectively clear skin by unclogging pores and exfoliating skin on a regular basis so that acne can never take hold.

Are you prone to acne?

Especially if you’re in a particularly hormonal stage of life, such as if you are a teenager or in your middle years and about to go into menopause, acne can certainly rear its ugly head simply because it’s encouraged to by the hormonal fluctuations in your body. Other things that can also exacerbate acne include diet, less than stellar hygiene, certain use of makeup products, and excessive oil production in the body.

Some of these things you can help, and some you can’t. However, you can certainly give yourself a leg up, so to speak, when it comes to taking care of how to get rid of blackheads by taking care of those things you can help.

Good hygiene helps – but be gentle

Depending on where you’re experiencing most of your acne breakouts, washing your face or showering on a regular basis, at least once a day and sometimes twice a day, can help prevent breakouts. When you wash, use a mild soap or a cleanser especially formulated for acne, and wash GENTLY, to avoid irritation. If you irritate your acne, you’ll only make breakouts worse and you can cause scarring, too.

Watch the diet

No, we’re not talking about going on some fad diet. But if you eat a lot of greasy food, or if a lot of your diet is comprised of junk food, you’re giving acne a perfect environment to flourish in. Focus on fresh, healthy foods, lean proteins, and plenty of fruits and vegetables to help support your skin so that it can heal from current acne breakouts and avoid further ones.

Cutting down on the grease and oil in your diet can also help minimize breakouts, since oil provides a perfect medium for them to occur in. DO include small amounts of healthy fatty acids like omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated oils, though.

What You Need to Know About How to Remove Blackheads Are you someone who has been dealing with skin problems for years? When you are in a place where you are thinking about how to remove blackheads, you will find that there are a number of tips and tricks that you need to be aware of, so stay on top of things!

If you are ready to figure out how to remove blackheads, you will find that you are not alone. This common skin condition is one that troubles many people, both men and women, and because they can be worsened through hormonal changes, they can strike you at any point in your life.

Much like acne, you will find that taking care of blackheads can be something that you can work on easily and naturally, so take a moment to see what your options are. There are some interesting ways to remove skin blemishes in general, and when you are thinking about how to remove blackheads, there are a number of things to keep in mind.

First, when you want to learn how to remove blackheads, remember that blackheads are essentially the accumulation of debris and dead skin in your pores. The dark matter is due to the dirt that can get trapped in your pores and this can go a long way towards making your face look a lot dirtier and grimier than it really is. What can you do combat blackheads and what can you do to make sure that they do not return? Remember that establishing a routine that you stick to is quite important.

When you are looking to prevent blackheads, make sure that you take good care of your face. This means taking the time to gently wash it daily and it also means avoiding using heavy creams or lotions on it, which can clog your pores. Also remember that if you wear makeup, you should remove it every day before you sleep. This will stop it from settling in your pores and it will keep you from having issues with acne as well.

Perhaps one of the most effective ways to deal with blackheads is to squeeze them out. Before you do this, however, you need to remember that you should be gentle. Start by making sure that your face is clean and dry; ideally you should use a mild scrub to remove any dead cells.

Then, after your face is dry, use a warm compress on your face for fifteen minutes or so. After you pat your skin dry, you can use a piece of tissue on either side of your fingernails to squeeze the blackhead out. Remember that you are trying to squeeze the blackhead out from the bottom.

While this is effective, take care to make sure that you do not tear the skin or cause scarring. This is something that can actually send you all the way back to square one, and at the end of the day, you are looking to improve your skin conditions. This means that you should not try to squeeze a particular blackhead out more than once or twice.

How to Remove Blackheads? – Helpful Tips

How to Remove Blackheads? – Helpful Tips Acne is a skin affliction that can strike anybody at any time regardless of age or race. Having a face full of unsightly pimples is definitely a thing that a teenager can do without; and if the pimples are accompanied by blackheads, you are going to find that particular inflamed state of your skin even more distressing.

That is the reason why one has to look for different methods that show how to remove blackheads safely and effectively without leaving behind unpleasant scars and marks.

Many people are under the impression that regular rubbing of your skin many times a day with a cleanser can remove blackheads. They could not be more false. Not only is the skin going to get more sensitive, but also your skin is going to suffer from swellings and possible infections. So you have to be very careful when you set about removing blackheads from the skin.

Just imagine blackheads to be a side effect of acne. Do you squeeze pimples? Of course you do not; that same rule applies to blackheads. They are extremely stubborn, so do not squeeze them. Trying to pop them out is only going to aggravate the problem.

To remove blackheads effectively you need a hot clean washcloth. Wash the affected area very carefully with an antiseptic cleanser, one that consists of salicylic acid is best.

Another option is to try dabbing the affected areas with castor oil before you go to sleep. This is going to soften the skin in such a manner that it is very easy to remove the blackheads the next morning by washing the face with lukewarm water. This procedure has to be continued for 7 nights. You will be surprised to see how every ugly blackhead has been removed from your skin without any side effects like open pores, infections or scars left behind.

Blackheads can also be removed by applying glycerin into your face, before you go to sleep. The glycerin softens the skin so effectively that you can remove the blackheads the next morning by pressing them out softly, with a tissue.

Neutrogena puts out a very good soap that keeps the pores of your skin unclogged. It helps in the removal of excess oil that cause blackheads and acne, and should be used 3 times a day for the best results.

Instead of worrying about how to remove blackheads, you may want to try and prevent them from occurring. Drink plenty of water and not eating fried foods is one good way of stopping blackheads and pimples from making an appearance on your face and body.
