From the moment we are born, we are exposed to a barrage of environmental factors that affects the health and condition of our skin. Of course this is inevitable unless you so desire to live in a bubble. That is why there is a plethora of skin care treatments and products available for every skin type and condition. But today, let’s focus on the problem. What they are really? And what causes them? Better yet what is the best ways to get rid or to avoid them? So read on and enlighten yourself with these facts.
Acne
As normal as your facial features, like your nose or mouth, are on your face, unfortunately for some individuals, so does acne. This is one of the most hated skin problems for all ages because not only does it disturb your image, it also leaves scars.
So what really causes acne? This occurs when sebaceous glands in the skin becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation may be due to an accumulation of oil, dead cells, and dust which clogs the pores, and usually it presents itself on the face. Sometimes acne is also caused by a hormonal imbalance making the skin more prone to breakouts and even deep rooted acne (cystic acne)
To avoid the occurrence of acne, people are advised to maintain a good skin care regimen. Some take pills to stabilize the hormones helping the clear up the skin.
However for those who are unfortunate enough to suffer the damaging after-effects of acne to the skin, such as acne scars, natural remedies and pharmacological treatment are available to treat it. Laser therapies or peels are also available to help clear up and even out the skin.\
Wrinkles and Fine lines
As much as we want to look as young as we wanted to nature doesn’t work that way. Wrinkles and fine lines sooner or later appear on our faces reminding us that our age and the stresses are slowly taking a toll on our skin.
Wrinkles and fine lines are the result of depleted collagen or poor collagen production. This can be caused by environmental factors or plain ‘ole aging.
People try to evade the problem by using anti-aging creams, face lifts, injectable fillers, chemical peels, dermabrasion or laser treatments.
Age/Sun Spots
With the kind of sun exposure that we are having in this day and age, our skin is more vulnerable to forming age or sun spots. These are flat and uneven pigmentation on those areas that are under constant exposure such as the face, neck, arms, hands, shoulders and the chest.
Melanin which is the chemical responsible for skin pigmentation and protects our skin from sun rays also causes these spots. Increased exposure results to more spots in forming.
To avoid this, make sure that your lotion has a good SPF coverage. Wear a wide brimmed hat or sunglasses when you go out.
Age and sun spots can be removed with chemical peels, dermabrasion, and mosaic skin rejuvenation system, thermage treatments. You can even use herbal remedies which you can find from your own kitchen or topical creams to help lighten these dark spots.
