Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

Im 20, and I have this coupon for a skin care place for a free 15 minute microdermabrasion.. what exactly does the microderm. do?

Answer
Microdermabrasion (often referred to as Microderm) is a cosmetic procedure popular in day spas, doctors' practices, and medical spas in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion. Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, fine organic particles, or a roughened surface. Particles are removed off through the wand/handpiece through which the abrasive particles come [1] The term dermabrasion itself refers to the more severe medical procedure carried out under general or light anesthesia.

Microdermabrasion is used to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin. The procedure is not very painful and requires no anaesthetic. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars. There is very little, if any, evidence that microdermabrasion stimulates collagen formation. Microdermabrasion can also be used for treatment of acne, but must be repeated periodically to be effective. Microdermabrasion should not be used on patients who have taken the medication Accutane (Isotretinion) in the previous twelve months.

In the past, microdermabrasion was carried out using abrasive crystals. However, in the last decade, it has become more common to use a wand with a roughened surface. This procedure requires no medical oversight and is commonly used in conjunction with facial spa treatments. These days there are a multiplicity of machines available for microdermabrasion.

The growth of the microdermabrasion treatment industry has led to innovations and there are currently a few different microdermabrasion systems available. In terms of professional microdermabrasion systems there are two choices:

1. Crystal microdermabrasion Crystal microdermabrasion systems are the traditional treatment of choice and rely on tiny crystals that are blasted onto the skin to perform the exfoliating process. Although the crystal microdermabrasion system is still widely used, the introduction of alternatives has led to a trend away from this treatment system.

2. Diamond microdermabrasion Diamond microdermabrasion systems operate without the need for crystals. The exfoliation process occurs when a diamond tipped head makes contact with the skin and abrades against it. In both crystals and diamond microdermabrasion systems the dead skin cells are sucked away from the face.

3. Home Microdermabrasion Home microdermabrasion systems are an increasingly popular alternative to professional treatments. These are cheap and very easy to perform, and although not as powerful as professional systems, can produce good results over time. There is a great deal of competition in the home microdermabrasion systems market with most of the big cosmetics and skin care brands launching their own home systems.

Microdermabrasion is a procedure where tiny particles "sand" or "polish" the skin and gradually remove scarred or discolored epidermal tissue. When you use a home microdermbrasion system the surface skin cell turnover will be enhanced and the skin will be visibly fresher. Home microdermabrasion creams with active ingredients, are focused on skin renewal and accelerate rebuilding of healthy collagen skin cells after microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing or harsh peels. For depressed scars, such as pitted acne scars, subcision with needles is often used by estheticians to break up the deeply buried scar tissue, and a home microdermabrision system then speeds up new healthy skin remodeling: the orderly process of laying out new collagen and elastin fibers.

what skin care products work best for oily skin?

what skin care products work best for oily skin? cleanser, toner, moisturizer, etc. and i also need a moisturizer with sunscreen for daytime.

Answer
If you are grown and experience oily skin, start looking at the products that you are using. The oiliness of your skin is attributed
to hormones and genetics, however, most people who experience very oily skin often have the problem from using too many chemical products. Your skin may be oily because it has been stripped of it's natural moisture. You want to avoid ANY over the counter acne treatment or products for oily skin. These products are alcohol based and will strip your skin's natural oils away. At this point, your body kicks into overdrive. Thinking that your skin is too dry, because the natural oils are gone, your brain tells your body to make more oil. This of course causes your skin to become more oily, and
the cycle never ends. The key to getting rid of oily skin is finding balance. Here's what to do for oily skin:

1) Do not use over the counter acne products (no alcohol or Benzoyl Peroxide)- They will dry your skin causing over-stimulation of the oil glands.

2) Look for products that are natural and contain HIGH concentrations of aloe. It should be in the first 3 to 5 ingredients of any product you buy. **Aloette products are recommended.**

3) Start the following regimen:
*Cleanse with mild cleanser (preferably aloe based).
*Tone (The purpose of a toner is to act as the "rinse cycle" for your face. Everyone should use toner after washing the face to
remove any left over cleansers or dirt. Do not use a toner with alcohol in it. You can buy alcohol free toners or use witch hazel.
It's the perfect natural toner for most skin types.)
*Nourish - Drink Water, take vitamins& zinc, and apply topical vitamin C to your skin.
* Moisturize â There is a difference in Oil and Moisture, your skin needs moisture to be healthy, A good vitamin C cream will
help kill bacteria too.
*Exfoliate â at least 2 times per week- DO NOT let dead skin cells build up on the surface and clog your pores.

Nutrients That Save Face
The key nutrients for skin health include antioxidant vitamins C and E, selenium, vitamin A, vitamin D, zinc, protein, healthy fats, and water.

* Vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium may reduce the risk of photoaging and skin cancer.
* Vitamin A (carotenoids) helps protect skin against sun damage.
* Vitamin D helps boost immunity and aids in healing.
* Zinc helps with rapid cell growth, such as during wound repair.
* Protein provides your body with the basic building blocks for collagen, the main structural component of skin.
* Healthy fats (essential fatty acids) help maintain healthy skin cell membranes and reduce inflammation.
* Water helps keep your skin hydrated and plump.
Best Practices
# Wear protective clothing and hats as an additional measure of protection.
# Avoid the sun during peak hours (10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.)
-Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes BEFORE you go out into the sun
If you go into the sun immediately after applying sunscreen, stay in the shade for the first 30 minutes.
_Reapply your sunscreen about every 2 hours.
_Use an SPF-containing lip balm whenever you are out in the sun.
Tips for Preventing Breakouts

* Choose "noncomedogenic" hair, skin, and makeup products.
* Avoid touching your face with your hands. Hands can spread bacteria to facial pores.
* Rinse off soon after working out to help prevent sweat and skin oils from mixing and clogging pores.
* Avoid overwashing or using harsh scrubs. These can cause excess oil production.
* Keep stress under control. Stress doesn't cause acne, but it may lead to overproduction of skin oils.

What ingredients should I look for in a skin cream?
An effective skin cream will contain ingredients that help minimize your skin's water loss. Look for creams with glycerin moisturizer (glycerin) , silicones, dimethicone and mineral oil. Creams containing synthetic or natural lipids (fat) work to imitate your natural skin and can also be effective

What do you recommend for skin care?

I'm big on trying new things when talking about Makeup and skin cares.
I just got the new Loreal face wash and it leaves me feelings very clean, which I love.
Though, it isn't for acne and my face has broken out alittle bit ( Not because of the wash )
I got new things for acne tonight, though and so far I like them. But I will see in time.
I forgot the brands or else I would have them listed.
What do you guys use, or suggest for acne and cleansing?

Answer
Have you ever tried arbonne skin care? http://www.reneerobinson3000.myarbonne.ca/

For Acne I would recommend the Arbonne Clear Advantage Acne removal line. The best thing about these products is that it is a natural line botanically based line. Acne creams like practive use harsh chemicals in them like benzoyl peroxide. And over time these harsh chemicals do more damage than good. Arbonne uses Salicylic Acid which is considered the ideal choice for acne treatment because it is a BHA, or a beta hydroxy acid. Not only will this kill bacteria, but it will break down accumulated dead skin cells that clog the pores and create long term acne. It consists of vitamin A which is a great antioxidant. It helps to protect and nourish cells. Internally vitamin A is wonderful because it helps with the sebum production. It aslo contains Zinc which is an excellent anti-microbial both internally and externally and also has powerful healing properties. So I would recommend that.

You can also try the FC5 line from arbonne. Which is more for the day to day upkeep of the skin. They have specific products for both dry and oily skin. I use the exfoliating new cell scrub made from CARROTS! I also wanna try the deep cleansing mask. Because I have oily skin. So that mask draws out oils and impurities that will clog the pores and cause acne. They have cleansers, toners and facial lotions specific for oily and combination/ dry skin. It's a great line. I love it. Go to http://www.reneerobinson3000.myarbonne.ca/ for more details. :-)
