Exfoliating - Skin Care Maitland

by JonRic

If your skin has been looking dull and flaky, it is probably screaming out to be exfoliated! If skin hasn't been exfoliated in a while, no matter how much moisturiser you apply, the pores will be too clogged up to absorb any cream well. Exfoliation is a technique where the layer of mostly dead epidermal cells on the outer surface of the skin is removed to expose fresher mostly living cells.

Potential benefits of exfoliation include fresher, brighter looking skin, better penetration of active ingredients of skin care products and, for people with excessively oily skin, a varying degree of reduction in oil secretion. For most women, exfoliating twice a week is enough to ensure silky skin. To some degree, though, the frequency of your scrub-down depends on your age (older skin may be too dry and delicate for lots of scouring) and the climate you live in. Warm weather increases perspiration and oil production, leading to speedier accumulation of dead cells.

    Redondo Beach Skin Care: New Fraxel Skin Care Option

    by Beth Munoz

    To undergo skin rejuvenation procedures, many patients must address what type of treatment they are after since there are so many available. There are some that use chemical peels, laser treatments, and any number of other treatments out there. Finding which one can be intimidating since there are so many out there, but it need not be an overwhelming process. Modern skin care just offers a great number of options because everyone's treatment needs vary.
    One recently offered treatment is fraxel, a skin care rejuvenation treatment which is offered by dermatologists at skin clinics. This treatment involves the use of laser technology which systematically rejuvenates skin under the epidermis and only affects the dermis, which leads to changes under the skin first, helping to even out wrinkles and lift up skin that is sagging a bit. This is caused by the production of collagen under the skin which is spurred by the controlled damage done by the laser.

    The treatment involves treating only certain areas of the skin and not others, so it is different than some other skin care options which slough off skin all over the face, or surface area of the epidermis. This leads to the skin having a longer healing time than with a systematic form of treatment. With fraxel, patients will not experience as many uncomfortable side effects which are associated with pain, swelling, peeling skin, and among others. Though treating the epidermis does lead to less obvious side effects, the treatment is still highly effective, though less invasive. More than one treatment may be necessary in exchange for the less invasive treatments and shorter healing times. This means that patients may have to undergo more that one treatment so that the changes to their skin are more gradual and easier for their immune system to handle well.
    Fraxel is growing in popularity since it is a treatment option that is minimally invasive and requires less time from work and other daily engagements. This is one way that most dermatologists are beginning to alter their treatments so that patients have the freedom to decide how drastic they want the changes to be. In general though, most patients can appreciate gradually altering their skin rather than having the skin altered immediately which would require a prolonged healing period and even more time away from work and other activities. The skin is the most visible organ and therefore a gradual treatment is always better so that the patient can feel confident with their appearance in minimal time.

    With this growing demand in the skin care world, fewer patients are seeking out more invasive treatments and are rather looking to have their appearance altered in ways that require no incisions and anesthesia. This marks the wave of injected solutions, such as restylane, botox, and others, which are meant to wipe out wrinkles and fill in loose skin. As a response to this trend, and the way that medical technology is evolving, patients can now take advantage of treatments such as fraxel which are far more reasonable in their gradual approach to skin rejuvenation. This is a breath of fresh air to those who are looking for treatment options and who have busy lives.

    Skin Secrets Revealed When You Use Masks And Peels

    by Janet Martin

    Despite your religious efforts to put on sunscreen, to clean your face with facial wash and to apply moisturizer everyday, you will still notice some oily areas, dry patches, noticeable pores and even a few lines forming on your face. This will really make you wonder what you have to do more to make your face flawless and smooth all over.
    The answer to your problem is actually a peel or a mask. For many of us, our beauty routine has been the same for several months or even years. Cleansing is followed by toning and ended with moisturizing. Sometimes, however, the skin gets used to the routine and products that you use. Thus, you have to break this habit every once in a while to let the creams and soaps you are using work more effectively. This is the role of a peel or mask.
    Celebrities have their microdermabrasion or other professional peeling treatments in a spa, clinic or salon. But for those of us who cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars for just one skin procedure, there are masks and peels that can be done at the comfort of your own home. In fact, there are many do-it-yourself products in the market to choose from. So you will surely find one that will suit your budget. However, you need to ensure that you choose an all-natural product because common chemical peels burn the skin and make it more vulnerable, while masks that contain harsh chemicals may irritate your skin.
    Mask Vs Peel
    A lot of women are really clueless about what a mask and a peel are. In fact, some even think that they are one and the same. Anyway, a mask is used to help bring lost minerals and moisture back to your skin. Pollution, harsh chemicals and even water can sometimes strip away important minerals and moisture from your skin so you end up having dry patches here and there.
    There are many types of masks �" pore refining, hydrating, anti-aging and acne fighting. A hydrating mask is designed for people who have tight and dry skin because this product contains a lot of moisturizers that will help make the skin softer and smoother. People who have big pores would benefit from pore-refining mask as it helps get rid of impurities lodged inside the pores. Acne fighting masks work the same way as pore-refining ones but are usually clay based. Lastly, anti-aging masks are filled with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to help avert skin aging.
    Peels, on the other hand, slough off dead skin cells and other debris on your skin. As mentioned earlier, some peels that contain chemicals and harsh ingredients may remove too much protective layer and could leave your skin raw and very vulnerable to elements, such as pollution and rays of the sun. Some women experience skin discoloration, sun damage and age spots because of using too much chemical peels and exposing their face to the sun.
    Ingredients To Look For In Masks And Peels
    Honey is useful for people who have dry skin because it is helps retain more moisture. Furthermore, this sweet delight also has anti-bacterial property than is useful in preventing pimples and acne.
    Alpha-hydroxy acid is very common in many facial products in the market because this ingredient is vital in the effective removal of dead skin cells from your skin. Natural ingredients that contain not only alpha-hydroxy acid but many antioxidants as well include citrus fruits, apple, grapes, peaches and other fruits. Cucumber is also a refreshing component of any facial peels and masks that act as effective moisturizers.
    For women who are suffering from premature skin aging, wrinkles and fine lines, it is advisable to use peels or masks at least once every week. This will give your skin a chance to respond better to moisturizers and other skin products in your beauty regimen. Incidentally, a facial cream that is excellent in minimizing your lines and wrinkles is Dermaxin. If you want to know more on how Dermaxin can help you, just visit http://www.dermaxin.com.

    Value Your Skin For Better Complexions

    by Jon Caldwell

    I know a lot of people who don't really like the idea of exfoliation, but did you know that exfloliating every week helps your skin in getting rid of possible build up of dead skin cells? Also, it helps in exposing the fresher layer of your skin. You still have to be careful in choosing facial exfoliants though. Use only the gentle ones and avoid products with very harsh chemicals on it. If you undergo exfoliation from time to time, you will observe that the fresh layers of the skin will be absorbing the moisturizers that you put on your skin every day.
    It is advised that you take cooler but shorter showers on winter. It is important to have a consistent body temperature at this season. If possible, kindly avoid taking hot showers because it has the tendency to remove the essential oils of the body that maintains the balance of a normal skin.
    Shampoos and Conditioners are a big part of bath time habits. Most of us rely on hair blowers to dry up our hair. Again, please avoid using hair blowers on winter season because it removes the important nutrients of the hair that leaves it dry and unhealthy. Not only that, our scalp is also affected.
    Do you know how Hollywood celebrities maintain their beautiful skin and keeping it soft, smooth and manageable?
    The answer: Moisturizer!
    Moisturizing must be a daily habit in any season whether that is winter, spring, summer or fall. When you get up in the morning, apply moisturizer all over your body. If you are using facial or body moisturizers, it is advisable that you use the thick ones on winter season. Keeping a lotion on your bag or on your purse is also a must so you can apply it anytime, anywhere.
    So if you want to have a celebrity-like skin even on winter days, all you have to do is moisturize.
    Face packs, especially those which are made up of fruits rich in vitamins and H20 really contribute a lot in the healing of dry skin. The most recommended fruits to be used are banana, papaya and peach. For glowing effect, you can use mashed avocado. After applying face packs, it is advisable that you apply moisturizer or mild lotion after to be able to retain the moisture of the skin. You must take note that you must use oil-based lotions during winter. Apply it in a circular manner.
    Did you know that the presence of Vitamins A, B and E on your diet contributes a lot on the inner glow of your skin?
    The most helpful food in improving the moisture of the skin on winter is vegetables that are green and leafy. The intake of water must also be increased to be able to fill out the required dosage of fluids on your body. You must also consider drinking fruit juices daily a habit since it helps in making your skin soft. Avoid drinking beverages that has strong caffeine ingredient on it such as coffees and sodas.
    Water is one of the most important liquids in our body. It is also the cheapest and safest drink ever.
    Winter is a cold and wet season that's why a lot of people don't sweat that much. Experiencing the said situation does not mean that you must lessen your water intake. It is still recommended that you drink at least 7-8 glasses of water a day. Drinking water gives your body the energy that you need. It is also beneficial to your health. It also contributes on your diet as you tend not to eat a lot and lastly, water helps in skin dehydration.
