[09/19/12]   Is your skin really sensitive or just sensitized?
More than 40% of Americans consider their skin sensitive. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, many people think they have sensitive skin because they experience stinging, burning, redness or tightness after exposure to a topical irritant. This misconception is common. The definition of sensitive skin varies based on who you ask. It is unclear what specific factors lead to a person having truly sensitive skin. It can be a combination of genetics, age and race.

Even if you don’t have clinically sensitive skin, it can still become sensitized as a result of over-exposure to harsh topical ingredients or climate. Common irritants that contribute to this sensitization are: fragrances, lanolin, formaldehyde, latex and menthol.

Additionally, aggressive use of chemical and mechanical exfoliants can increase the response to these and other irritants by impairing the natural barrier function of the skin.
Treating skin gently and avoiding the use of known topical sensitizers and irritants can help most avoid sensitization.

[08/27/12]   Water Keeps you Young ~
Getting the proper amount of water each day will keep you looking and feeling young. For one, drinking water helps you lose weight. Assuming that you are dehydrated, you body will carry extra “water weight” because it is unsure when it will get some next, and it wants to be sure it has enough to survive. This is caused by the hormone aldosterone, and its main job is water retention. However keeping your body well hydrated dramatically decreases this emergency storage, so you are not carrying around extra weight. Emerging research shows that dehydration also contributes to a low metabolism, which in turn causes your body to store up more fat.

Water revives your cells, and keeps them alive. Roughly two-thirds of your body’s fluids are on the inside of cells, and the other third are on the outside of them. The first sign of failing health is when the fluids shift from the inside to the outside. After this happens, cells do not have enough energy to maintain the membrane pumps inside them, causing the cells to die. Likewise, when there is more water on the outside of cells than there should be, your blood vessels compress, causing less nutrients and oxygen to be delivered to them. Everything from your cells to the largest organ in your body, your skin, suffers.

Did you know a lack of water contributes to memory loss? Your brain cells are eighty-five percent water, and your brain itself is the only organ that never rests. It is safe to say that your brain is the single most important organ to be sure is well hydrated. Ensuring it has enough water guarantees the production of new brain cells to replace damaged ones, as well as being sure the brain is working to its full potential. Many doctors today believe that long term dehydration contributes to Alzheimer’s disease.

[08/22/12]   Rosacea – Rosacea is generally characterized by persistent redness and/or breakouts on the central areas of the face, commonly affecting the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin.

There are medical therapies that work well in conjunction with quality skin care products and treatments to control rosacea symptoms. Consult a physician for a diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

[08/22/12]   Acne – Acne is the most common skin condition in humans, affecting nearly 45 million Americans each year. Acne develops where there are more oil glands present, e.g. face, scalp, chest, back and neck. There are many different types of acne and each patient should be treated according to their particular case.
