Treatment of makeup and skin care as different topics wouldnt make sense, after all, they only work if the skin is healthy. So, how exercise and skin care as well? Here are some tips for makeup and skin care: * Always keep in mind carefully, if you buy products for the manufacture or the reality of its application on the skin after purchasing. So, what you buy is a make-up products and skin care, and not just a product. Check the ingredients to see if it contains things that you May be allergic a. Also check if it contains high concentrations of chemicals that can damage the skin. * Makeup and skin care is also testing the products before using them. Therefore, applying makeup in a small patch of skin and ears, for example, to check how your skin reacts to it. * Keep track of your expiry date on products and never use them beyond the expiry date. In fact, some products (for example, products based on vitamin C), if not stored properly, you broke long before the expiration date. * Cleanliness is an important part of makeup and skin care procedure. Sharpen your eye-line and keep your makeup equipment clean at all times. You can set a date each month for the delivery of your equipment. As part of cleaning, cosmetic and skin care should also keep your hair clean at all times. * Nail care is another important aspect of makeup and skincare. Use a good quality varnish and keep nails clean. Once you’ve done with the cleaning and polishing of nails, it must rub cuticle oil on the edges of the nail. * If you have sunken eyes, you must use a liquid eyeliner instead of a pencil. This will prevent stains on the edges of deep eye lid. * If you have a skin disorder eg acne, it should not apply heavy or chemical based makeup. Consult your dermatologist if you are unsure of the composition of products that can be used even if you have acne or skin disease. Never try to push the grains / acne. Remember that making the skin and does not conflict with each other. * Use a mild make up remover (instead of wash out). * Another great make-up and care of the procedure is the following golden rule: never sleep with their work * While applying a deodorant, make sure you maintain the recommended distance between the tip and the skin (as indicated on the packaging of deodorant). Therefore, makeup and skin care should always go hand in hand. Do not try to treat and care for the skin.

Before you buy the best anti-aging skin care products for your skin type, here are a few reminders you should always take down and remember:

Your skin and your friends skin is very different from each other. We all have different types of skin and choosing the best anti-aging skin care products for our skin is actually very difficult to achieve. It usually requires a lot of product testing and researching to really know what works very well with your skin type.

You must first consult your dermatologist to know what kind of skin care products, and the best brands of skin care products which usually work well with your skin type. Whether you have sensitive skin or acne-prone skin, dry or oily skin, you have different skin reactions to different kinds of treatment and anti-aging skin care products.

To avoid any further skin damage, inflammation, redness, blotching of the skin, blistering, or wrinkling, do not try to experiment to different brands of skin care products if you are already well-matched for the skin care products that you have already been using.

Research and look about further information about whats good for your skin type. It is always useful to look for tips even from friends, relatives (who usually have the same skin type as you do), office mates, or the Internet. There are a lot of information and study materials out there, if you really care about your skin, then you must always have the time to learn about the type of skin you have.

Always protect your self from harmful elements that you get from going outdoors. As much as possible, avoid the blazing heat of the sun and the damaging effects that it would cause to your skin. The sun gives out harmful UV rays which is the main cause of photo-aging. Photo-aging is the wrinkling and drying out of the skin due to too much and frequent times of sun exposure.

Use protective sun blocks, sun screens, lotions with SPF 15 or more. These are products which would protect your skin from the suns harmful UV rays. Remember to wear your hat, bring your umbrella, or any kind of protection from the sun even when its cloudy outside.

In this article,  we look at some statements made by an author (whom I will not name) of a skin care book and review how valid these are. Skin care secrets are not secrets at all. Most of the time skin care is simple common sense. Unfortunately common sense is not very common…

Author’s statement – Skin care secret #1: You can clean your skin, but you can’t “deep-clean” it.

Comment: Anyone reading our article on natural facial clays knows the author of the above statement is not a ‘deep-thinker’. Clays draw toxins and other waste materials lodged in the pores of the skin out and are more effective than any water-soluble cleansers. The properties of Green Clay for example are very powerful in drawing toxins, micro-organisms and even bacteria into the clay for easy removal. This is why Green Clay products are often used to treat skin conditions such as acne.

Author’s statement  – Skin care secret #2: Dry skin doesn’t wrinkle any more or less than oily skin.

Comment: Dehydration can reduce the water content of the skin from 70.6 to 65.85% (1). Therefore, it stands to reason that as the water is taken from skin cell, they tend to become flaccid and result in wrinkles. Using moisturisers that hold moisture in the skin rather than allowing the moisture to be lost, is definitely sensible and recommended by most dermatologists. In addition, good quality, natural moisturising creams not only help to keep moisture in the skin, but also provide vital nourishment in the form of plant nutrients for the skin to utilise.

Furthermore, dehydration is associated with changes in the appearance of the skin. In mild dehydration the skin may appear flushed, dry and loose, with a loss of elasticity (2,3).  Obviously, loose skin is more likely to appear wrinkled than firm, well hydrated skin.

As I’ve stated in many of my articles, drinking 2-3 litres of water every day is paramount and indeed no moisturiser in the world can substitute for drinking water. In addition, dry skin tends to become irritated and easily inflamed potentially leading to eczema or dermatitis. Using a moisturiser will help to reduce the irritation and itching caused by dry skin and may prevent the complication of developing more sever skin conditions.

Author’s statement – Skin care secret #3: A great number of skin-care problems are caused by the skin-care products used to prevent them.

Comment: Absolutely true. Many commercially available skin care products contain an extraordinary amount of chemicals in them. Many of these are deemed hazardous to our health. I’ve written an article that lists 10 commonly used chemicals in expensive brands of skin care products, all of which science has shown to be potentially harmful to our health. Read Toxic Ingredients in Skin Care Products if you wish to have a look at these ingredients.

Author’s statement – Skin care secret #4: Getting a tan is foolish. If you are exposed to the sun, even for as little as 10 to 20 minutes a day, which includes walking to your car or talking to a neighbor outdoors, that cumulative exposure over the years will wrinkle your skin.

Comment: Rubbish. Your skin needs a small amount of exposure to be able to synthesise Vit. D. In addition, your skin is well armed to handle some limited exposure to the sun unless you are suffering from albumism.

Obviously nobody should spend hours in full sun, especially in summer, without covering their body using some sun protection and keeping well hydrated. However, if you expose your body’s skin to sunlight before 10:00 am or after 4:00pm (during Summer) the intensity of the radiation is much less than during the mid-day hours. If you keep your skin exposure to under 15 minutes during this time, you are not likley to get burned and your skin will have a chance to make that vitamin D you need for you.

So there you have it. The secret to good skin care is simple common sense prevailing over marketing hype, and when combined with a little knowledge you can quickly determine what is right and what it hype.

G>Find out what stage your skin is at and what skincare will benefit you, no matter what your age.
We’ve become a society obsessed with our looks.

It’s been noted that we spend more on beauty products in the west than we do on education.

Why are we so obsessed? Because it’s easier and more affordable than ever before.Anti-aging skincare technology has progressed leaps and bounds. We know more about the skin today than we ever did. There are advanced skincare products that can erase years, and of course, the plastic surgeon has perfected his trade such that procedures are easier and cheaper than ever before.

Are we justified in our obsession?

They say that beauty is only skin deep, and while I believe this to be true it’s also important to do what feels right for you. If keeping up appearances gets you through the day then, by all means, that’s what you need to do, however I must add that I’m not a fan of going under the knife. With the huge advances made in skincare products today, I’d much prefer taking the less invasive route.

Here’s a few age related tips and remedies that will help boost your skin’s appearance at any age without needles and knives.

20 Something
Your skin is at its peak of beauty in your twenties, however nurture its beauty and always use at least an SPF 30 sunscreen. Of course this should continue at any age.

Avoid oily makeup and coverups. Use an oil free moisturizer every day. This is also a good time to begin using an eye cream under the eye area at night.

Try using products that contain green tea which have shown to help reduce the risk of skin cancer.

30 Something
Your 30’s is when your skin is beginning to become a bit drier and sun damage may begin to appear. It’s time to start using thicker moisturizing creams so as to lock in high contents of moisture. Continue with eye creams at night and use your sunscreen religiously. Also, skin bleaching products may need to be used to diminish dark spots from sun damage. Hint: Put your moisturizer on over damp skin. This helps lock in more moisture.

40 Something
It’s time to kick it up another notch. Your forties is when your skin loses much of it tightness. It may begin to look dull and your pores may become larger. Blotches, freckles, age spots, discoloration, and changes in skin color may become much more visible. Retinoids, anti-oxidants and alpha hydroxy acids can improve the look of your skin and your 40’s would be a good time to begin using them. Of course it’s essential that you continue using a thick moisturizer and eye serums on a daily basis.

Home microdermabrasion kits are also an option that can result in a smoother more even appearing skin texture and tone while rejuvenating your skin’s texture and color.

50 Something
Changes in your skin have reached high gear. Menopause has assisted in the loss of Estrogen which is what has given your skin its elasticity and kept it hydrated, however since those estrogen levels have diminished, you will begin seeing wrinkles form around your eyes, drooping eyelids and expression lines around the mouth and forehead.

Begin using anti-aging or wrinkle reducing formulas such as vitamin A (Retinol) or Glycolic acid products. Retin A has proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin texture, skin tone and color, as well as your skin’s hydration levels.

Glycolic acid will trigger new formation of collagen to plump cells and reduce wrinkles on the skin’s surface. Postmenopausal women can also use a cream containing progesterone that may improve skin elasticity and firmness.

60 Something
By age 60 all types of collagen are significantly below their youthful levels. There are, however wonderful hydrating creams that contain Alpha Hydroxy acids (Glycolic acids), soy, green tea and retinol (vitamin A) which your skin will need now that it is drier and showing major signs of age. The alpha Hydroxy acids will help reduce droopy skin and the retinol will reduce your fine lines.

60 Plus
Your skin’s texture will become visibly less smooth and you will most likely begin to see age spots. You’ll appreciate the early care you’ve given to your skin because the signs of aging will be minimal, however, if you haven’t started early you’ll clearly notice the effects of neglect.

While it’s never too late to take care of your skin the damage you already have will be difficult to reduce without special medical treatments such as botox or perhaps surgical procedures. All the above should continue to be applied but it is wise to consult your physician on advanced treatments.
