Why Do Skin Care Products Fail To Work At Times?

Have you ever bought a skin care product expecting it to deliver sensational results only to be disappointed when it failed to perform? Or worse, used a product that upset your skin even more?

Before blaming the skin care product, you should consider the various reasons why products fail to perform and deliver results. Here are some things you should know:

Your Skin Type Changes with Age

As we age, our skin grows old as well and the skin type begins to change. This is primarily because the collagen and elastin fibers, responsible for the smoothness and suppleness of skin, begin to deplete and leaves the skin saggy and dehydrated. The skin loses its ability to retain moisture and starts becoming drier. Your regular skin care products might stop performing after some time. This is the time you need to start using more moisturizing formulations.

Weather Conditions Influences the Effectiveness of Skin Care Products

As the weather changes, so should your skin care. And that is why you need to use different skin care products for the different seasons of the year. In the summer months, you need to use light oil-free formulations that serve to take care of the skin without making it too oily. Likewise, in winter months, it is better to switch to rich, creamier formulations that hydrate the skin sufficiently.

Product Residues can Harm the Skin

Even if you use a top quality cleanser packed with powerful ingredients, you need to rinse it off well if you want to save your skin from damage. If traces of skin care products are left behind on the skin, it can led to clogged pores, acne, and dull complexion which may eliminate any benefits that the product may have delivered. Therefore, make sure you rinse off your entire face thoroughly with several splashes of warm water. Also consider using a toner after cleansing your face to ensure that the cleanser particles have been removed completely.

Skin Care Products may contain Irritating Ingredients

Even though skin care products are packed with powerful and most effective ingredients, some of them may also contain certain irritating additives. This may pave way for certain skin problems including skin redness, irritation, and even allergies - especially for people with sensitive and acne prone skin. Therefore, make sure you read the ingredients list carefully before buying a skin care product. Apart from beneficial ingredients, also look out for ingredients that might cause harm to the skin.

Skin Care Products take time to Deliver Results

Whatever your skin concern, be it premature aging, acne, age spots, wrinkles, and fine lines, the damage has been caused over a period of time. Keep in mindthat the improvement process will take time too. Skin care products take time to deliver results. Don't be disappointed if you don't notice any immediate improvement; rather, keep using the skin care products diligently and give it ample time to show results.

Skin Care Products Perform only when they Penetrate

For any skin care product to be effective, it needs to penetrate into the skin. If you don't exfoliate your skin regularly, dead skin cells will accumulate on the surface and form a barrier layer that prevents skincare products from being absorbed; as a result, skin care products fail to perform. Therefore, make sure you exfoliate once or twice a week to remove any dead skin cells that could be keeping your products from penetrating.

Busting The Top 7 Myths About Skin Care: What Your Mom Didn’T Tell You

“When you eat a lot of chocolates or junk foods, you will get acne.”  “Pimples are caused by poor hygiene.” “Skin care products with the word ‘natural’ on the label are good for you.”

How many of these maxims about skin care do you really believe in? In a world which puts too much stress on physical beauty, it is sometimes frustrating for an individual to have less-than-perfect skin, which is why it is tempting to believe in all these “principles” as far as skin care is concerned.

But the truth is that there are a lot of skin care myths out there which persist up to now.

Remember that the type of skin care regimen and skin care products that you use really depends on the type of skin that you have.

As such, it pays to be selective about which skin care advice it is that you will take.

Otherwise, you might end up doing yourself more harm than good.

The Truth behind the Top 7 Myths about Skin Care

To help you weed out what’s true and not when it comes to skin care principles, here is a list of the top seven myths about skin care that your mom probably never told you about:

1. “Acne is caused by poor hygiene and eating certain foods aggravates the condition.“

First of all, acne is not caused by dirt. No matter how many times you wash your face and your body, acne may still appear especially if you are prone to it.

Basically, the root cause of the appearance of acne is an overproduction of sebum or oil which clogs the pores.

The rate by which the skin on your face produces sebum is not at all affected by dirt – hormones, stress, pollution and bacteria are some of the culprits behind the appearance of pimples.

Second, eating foods like chocolates, soda, peanuts, junk foods, soda and any other oily or greasy foods will not aggravate acne. Although it is not recommended that you load up on junk foods, they are not really the cause of acne.

So what is the solution if you often have breakouts which mark the clarity of your skin? Over-the-counter treatments like Benzoyl Peroxide and products with salicylic acid may help. If you have moderate to severe acne, consult a dermatologist so that an acne treatment plan can be recommended for you.

2. “Not washing your face often enough can cause blackheads.“

Aside from acne, another skin care problem that most people have is the appearance of blackheads, especially on either sides of the nose.

Just like pimples, blackheads are not caused by dirt so washing your face more often than usual is not the solution at all.

Blackheads appear when the pores become dilated and the cellular buildup will lead to oxidation that causes that black color.

The solution to steer clear of blackheads is to use a good exfoliating face scrub that is suited for your skin type.

3. “Lying down on a tanning booth is the safest way to add some bronzed color to your skin.“

This is not true at all.  Whether it’s natural tanning under the heat of the sun or tanning under the tanning booth, you are still exposing your skin to UVA rays.

Experts agree that this type of ultraviolet ray can still penetrate deep into the skin and cause damage like premature aging skin. In effect, you are also exposing yourself to the risks of developing skin cancers.

4. “When looking for products that help shield your skin from the rays of the sun, all you need to look for is a higher SPF.“

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and it is an ingredient which is ever present in sunscreen lotions.

Although a higher SPF factor will offer protection from ultraviolet rays, the SPF will only work in shielding your skin from UVB rays.

The other kinds of ultraviolet rays include UVA and UVC which best sunscreen may not necessarily protect you from. A good compromise would be to choose a product with SPF 15 or higher, and contain ingredients which block both the UVA and UVB rays from penetrating into your skin.

5. “The more expensive a skin care product is, the better it is for your skin.“

The so-called miracle ingredients that some products claim to have is usually just an excuse to increase their tag price. This is where your being a wise consumer should come in.

If you want to get the best products for your skin without having to pay an arm and a leg for it, you need to make a comparison of different brands.  For example, a moisturizing face wash from one brand which contains a particular ingredient may be better for your skin as compared to another more expensive brand.

When testing out a new product, purchase smaller bottles first to check whether it will work for your skin type or not.

6.  “If a skin care product   claims to be natural, it should be 100% good for my skin.“

First of all, there are no regulations in the market when it comes to using the term natural.

So even if it says natural in the bottle and the product contains just one herbal ingredient, they can still use the term as a marketing ploy.

More often than not, consumers lean towards the more natural products but what they do not know is that they are actually getting synthetic or chemical-based skin care products.  For this, it pays to do your research and check which natural ingredients will actually benefit the type of skin that you have.

7. “Dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic products will work well for any skin type.“

Again, don’t’ be fooled by the words dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic.  What causes allergies to one person may not necessarily have the same effect to another person – so the term hypoallergenic is quite vague.

What you need to do is be a keen observant about which products lead you to have breakouts or skin rashes – and steer clear of them.

At the end of the day, taking care of your skin is all a matter of choosing the right products and having a good skin care regimen that you can follow on a daily basis.

Now that you already know about the top myths about skin care and the truth behind them, you can make an informed decision about how to better care for your skin so that you can have that clear, smooth and flawless complexion that a lot of people are also aiming for.

What Is A Hydrafacial?

Abby Borbon-Roaquin is a manager and clinician at Ulan Medical Spa in San Diego, California. Here, she explains what a HydraFacial is.

 

The HydraFacial, a new breakthrough in aesthetic technology, can hydrate and moisturize the skin. It is totally different from all other skin-resurfacing procedures. HydraFacial removes dead skin cells and impurities while simultaneously bathing the new skin with cleansing, hydrating, and moisturizing serums. You will feel your skin soothed, refreshed and won’t feel irritated during the treatment. Plus, you can feel the effect right away.

 

Actually, the HydraFacial is popular with celebrities everywhere. The June 2009 issue of InStyle magazine featured it as the hottest celebrity pre-bridal facial.

 

Let’s discuss some details of HydraFacial.

 

What’s the advantage of the HydraFacial?

 

First, Hydration is the foundation of healthy and radiant skin. Our cells cannot function optimally when they are not fully hydrated. This leads to tissue damage that we call aging. Your tissue problems can be repaired by using the HydraFacial products that encourage healthy cell turnover, plus a mix of antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and hydrating ingredients. The HydraFacial treatment, which is hydrating and non-irritating, can make your dark spots lighter, help get rid of fine lines on your face, clear acne and other redness, and also help get rid of allergy-induced puffy or peeling eyelids. Your skin will be softer and your pores will be clearer.

 

Who is a candidate for the HydraFacial?

 

All skin types including the most sensitive skin can easily tolerate the treatment. Clinicians at Ulan Medical Spa will properly custom-blend serums for your unique skin type and conditions. Please consult your physician or skincare professional and do a skin evaluation or sensitivity test.

 

How long does the treatment take?

 

HydraFacial is a fast, efficient treatment which only takes 15 to 20 minutes. You won’t feel uncomfortable during the procedure – it is often described as feeling like a “cool paintbrush moving slowly over the face.” There is no downtime, so you can put on makeup and return to your normal activities after the treatment. If your skin is sensitive, you may be red for an hour or so afterward. And you should avoid the sun for a few days.

 

Something unique to Ulan Medical Spa is that a microdermabrasion is done immediately prior to the HydraFacial. Microdermabrasion gently exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin, preparing the skin to receive the serums from the HydraFacial. This extra step greatly enhances the results from the HydraFacial.

 

What results can be expected after taking HydraFacial treatments and how long do the results last?

 

Many patients reflect that seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smoothing, hydrating results can last five to seven days or even longer. A series of six treatments — once a week — are recommended to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and oily/acne-prone skin. You may want to start maintaining your results with a HydraFacial treatment every two to four weeks after your first series of treatments.

 

If you live in the San Diego area, please consult Ulan Medical Spa for your soothing HydraFacial right now.

Cholesterol – Lower Naturally Your Bad Cholesterol Levels

Your doctor must have given you tons of prescription, but you wanted to lower cholesterol naturally. You made the right choice. It is possible to lower it naturally. If you have made the decision, then you have the willingness to discipline yourself and attain your goal.

The Natural Ways to Lower Cholesterol

The natural ways to do it is basically dependent on the choice of food, the patience to prepare your meals, and the discipline to get out on your bed or on your couch for an exercise. Let us begin with your food. You need to make a new list for your groceries. Then start cleaning your cupboard. Remove those can goods, junk foods, and tropical oils or processed oils. Replace them with nutritious foods. If your fridge is full of saturated foods like butter, cheese, ice cream, cakes, hamburgers, and whatnot, then it is also time to get some substitutes for those types of foods. There is a cheese that has zero fat or non-fat in it. Instead of storing chips in your cupboard you may get pretzel or fat-free crackers instead.

If you can not live a week eating only carbohydrates and fibers, like whole grain, vegetables and fruits, then when you buy meat, choose only lean meat. Refrain from eating luncheon meat and sausages. Choose turkeys, chicken and fish for variations. Remember also to remove the chicken skin when you prepare your food. Instead of frying your meat, you can either have it boiled, broiled, baked, or roasted. But if you can go for a meatless meal in a week, then that is better. You also need to eat more fish since it contains omega-3 which is good for your heart.

Exercise is an activity you can not omit in a week. You need to at least workout thrice a week if you have a hectic schedule at work. Doing it in the morning is better since you might be dead tired from work if you opt to do it at night. Wake up at least 30 minutes early, then you can do cardio exercise in your home or may be do some jogging around your house. If you can, try to use the stairs than elevators when you go to work. Walk from car park to your office too. This way you can burn your calories and refrain from having them stored in your body.

Now, if you are really concerned about high blood triglycerides or high cholesterol levels,I suggest you check out Xtend-Life Cholest-Natural supplement. It is a safe, natural alternative for lowering your bad cholesterol level.
