How To Prevent Wrinkles: Special Care For Aging Skin

by Skin Care Expert on July 12, 2011

The condition of our skin tells a lot about who we are. If it is not that elastic or as thinner as before, then you may already have wrinkled skin. The question now is, can we prevent it?

A lot of experts believe that we are only delaying the inevitable. There have been advances in the dermatological field which people can use as well as home remedies that have proven to be quite effective.

You can use lotions or facial creams that contain AHA’s or alpha-hydroxic acids. This contains Vitamin A and is usually extracted from milk, fruits and sugar cane and works by clearing away dead cells on the surface of the skin. It encourages collagen growth which fills in the wrinkles and also counteracts free radicals that can damage the skin.

The only side effect is skin irritation which happens on occasion. You can test the product you are using by rubbing a little of this on a small patch of skin behind the ear. If it doesn’t turn red the day after then it is safe for you to use.

Anti wrinkle treatmentsYou should also exfoliate your skin twice weekly to remove dead and dry skin cells and encourage the body to produce new skin cells. This enables the skin to absorb the cream or the moisturizer better since it is hydrated.

You can prevent wrinkles the natural way by cutting a piece from an aloe vera plant and then apply this to the skin as the leaf itself contains malic acid. Papaya is another good example to use because it contains enzymes that can etch away the top layer of the skin.

Apply a moisturizer every morning after washing as this helps retain moisture in the skin. Ideally, this should contain SPF30 so it can protect you from the sun’s ultra-violet rays which also cause wrinkles to appear. A natural method would be to use fresh avocado as this contains vitamin E which is an anti-oxidant.

Aside from applying creams to your face, you can also prevent wrinkles by watching your diet and drinking lots of water. The food you consume should be rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids that will help you achieve healthy skin cell structure.

You should also exercise regularly as this helps maintain general health and improve circulation to the skin. You shouldn’t smoke or drink too much because it defeats the purpose of all the safeguards you have done to prevent wrinkles.

Stress forces us to make excessive use of the facial muscles which causes the skin to crease into expression lines. To prevent that from happening, don’t frown too much or raise your eye brows in surprise.

Lastly, as much as possible try to stay indoors especially between 10 am and 4pm since this is the time that it is very hot outside. If you have to go out, wear a hat and even a pair of sunglasses as well as an umbrella to protect your arms.

Can we prevent wrinkled skin? The answer is yes as long as we take the appropriate steps. Those mentioned above are much cheaper than having to undergo laser surgery or injecting some chemical into the body so do your best before you have to resort to other means.

Tattoo Removal: Why Go To A Dermatologist

by Skin Care Expert on August 11, 2010

There are a number of reasons why people get tattoos and just as many reasons why people later decide that they want a tattoo removed. Perhaps, the tattoo did not turn out quite as you expected or perhaps, the tattoo artist simply was not up to the task and did a poor job giving you something that was almost unrecognizable.

You may decide to try for a job that requires that you have no visible tattoos and that tattoo on your face just has to go or perhaps your new love resents you sporting the name of your old love on a part of your anatomy.

Whatever, the reason for wanting that tattoo removed you want to have it removed in the most professional and least painful way possible. That is why you should seek the services of a dermatologist to accomplish the task.

Why Have A Dermatologist Remove That Tattoo?

Dermatology is the study of the skin and all conditions that affect your skin, hair and nails. A dermatologist is a trained professional that understands how tattoos color and affect the skin over time and will take several things into consideration before giving you the options available for removing that tattoo.

Tattoo Removal

Some of the things that will need to be considered when removing a tattoo is the location of the tattoo. A tattoo on your face where scaring could be quite visible and embarrassing may require a different removal option than one on your shoulder or hip. You also need to consider just how deep into your skin the tattoo ink is.

The longer you’ve had your tattoo the deeper it may have gone into your skin layers and may need more treatments to remove it completely or it may not even be possible to remove it entirely without the necessity for surgery.

Your dermatologist also knows that some colored inks are more difficult to remove than others and will also take into considerations the outcome you desire and the cost of the removal procedure.

Once he has spoken to you and examined the tattoo he can discuss with you the options that are available, explain the benefits and the handicaps of each option and help you to make an informed decision based on your needs and desires.

Once you know your options and have reached a decision then an appointment will be made to begin treatment. While some tattoo removals may only take one or two treatments others may have to include surgery in order to produce the desired out come.

Your dermatologist is skilled at performing all the tasks needed to complete the removal and will also discuss with you the after care that may be needed if healing is involved.

Choosing a skilled professional in dermatology can give you the best results possible and will give you confidence in the removal option you have chosen.
