Try All Natural Skin Care Products Instead

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 2:33 pm

You have almost certainly been using skin care products for a while already, but there are so many products on the market, aren’t there? It is so hard to make your mind up which is the best. I hope that I can give you a few pointers in the rest of this article.

Daily environmental pollution and the sun’s UV rays increase the body’s production of free radicals. Your body already makes free radicals on a daily basis as a side-product of normal metabolism. However, free radicals can cause mutations in cells including skin cells. This can result in signs of premature senility such as cataracts or ‘old skin’ like wrinkles or even cancer. Therefore, any holistic health regimen must include antioxidants, which eradicate free radicals. Sun block is a front line defense too.

Many health and skin care regimes advocate using sunblock if you go outside, but there is a chance that you will run short of vitamin D by doing that. A lack of vitamin D can lead to osteoporosis, to which older women are particularly susceptible. If you are anxious about this, then you should take vitamin supplements.

Your skin is your largest organ and so you should not be surprised to read that your skin often reflects issues that your internal organs may have. Therefore, if you want good looking skin, you have to take care of your whole body. This basically means, hygiene, diet and exercise. Concentrating on eradicating free radicals is a good tactic too.

Honey is an important component of many skin care products. This is because honey is a natural product and it is the only foodstuff that will not go off. No matter how long you leave it. Look for products involving honey, or just use raw, natural honey yourself!

Honey does not include water, so it is not a moisturizer, but it is very efficient at killing bacteria, including the bacteria that can result in dermatitis.

Olive oil is an excellent moisturizer for the skin and the hair. Try it on hard dry skin on your heels, elbows and knees as well. It is also very effective as a bath oil. Try putting a few drops in your bath next time

Romans used olive oil as a cleanser and you can use it as an exfoliant too. Mix it with sand or brown sugar and rub it on your skin before bathing. There are many ways that you can improve the condition of your skin without going to to the pharmacy, the problem is that most people have forgotten what their grandparents knew. So, instead of reaching for you wallet or purse, do a little research first and possibly you will find that the answer to your skin problems lies in your kitchen cabinets.

Facing Acne: How to Handle Its Effects

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 9:58 am

Acne is a horrible condition, because it not only affects people’s looks but it can have an effect on them psychologically as well. Doctors can go a long way to clearing up acne, but the psychological effects can take years longer to get over. One of the main concerns is that most of those who have the problem of facing acne and coping with its effects are fairly young and not actually emotionally robust enough to do it.

We all know how cruel people and particularly children can be. Children and teenagers with acne can get taunted and bullied until they think that their life is not worth living and they certainly do not want to go back to school. If this leads to truancy, the sufferer’s whole life could become affected. It is definitely no joke for those who have the daily difficulty of facing acne and coping with its effects.

So, how can you assist a child or friend who is suffering from the social stigma of having acne more than the acne itself? It is not easy, because frequently people do not want to talk about it or they pretend that they do not have a difficulty.

However, the chances are that they do. It is the same as an overweight woman saying she does not want to lose weight – balderdash. They are just saying that to save face.

The best tactic is to remind your child that acne is a sign of the body changing from a child to an adult and that this process does not last that long. Usually, a few months or a couple of of years at most. It is cold comfort to know that the acne might ‘only last a couple of of years’, but at least it is not forever. It will pass.

In the meantime, you can take your child to see your doctor or a dermatologist. There are things that you can do to improve the condition and they are neither difficult nor costly. There are a number of different reasons for acne or types of acne, but they all boil down to the same thing – too much oil is being trapped under the skin and when the pressure builds up, the skin gives way. That is why it is known as an eruption or a break-out.

Go to the doctor’s with your child so that you comprehend the problem too and can give timely advice and reminders of what the doctor said to do and what not to do.

Basically, you have to be there for your child at this, what is almost certainly, the most difficult and most testing time of his or her life so far. Be certain that the child knows that you are prepared to do what it takes to help them over this episode in their life and do not try to belittle acne or its psychological effects or you run the risk of making your youngster think that it is stupid.

Go on line with your teen, there are literally thousands of resources, web sites and blogs that cover the subject of facing acne and how to cope with it.

Owen Jones, the author of this article, writes on lots of topics, but is currently concerned with how to Facing Acne – How To Cope. If you have an interest in acne, please go over to our website now at Treating Acne Think.

You Can Treat Acne At Home!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 9:08 am

Acne is a very distressing condition. Individuals are so conscious of their looks and acne does not help in the ‘decent looks department’. What is even worse is that most sufferers of acne are fairly young – teenagers, in fact – and are not best prepared emotionally to be different from their peers and are particularly not equipped to be spottier than others.

Not that acne is the same as having a couple of spots every now and again, which can happen to you all through your life. Acne is a precise condition, but it does occur mostly in teenagers during puberty. Normally, acne disappears when adulthood comes along or shortly thereafter.

Numerous teenagers and their families spend a huge sum of money on acne cures, but is there another way of lessening the effects of acne? It definitely is very dubious that it can be ‘cured’ like chicken pox. It is rather an ‘illness’ like a cold or the flu, it has to run its course.

If you have a difficulty with acne, it is because your body is producing more oil than your skin can let escape quickly, so it creates a little ‘volcano’ and erupts, when the pressure is high enough. Let us take a look at why this occurs.

Firstly, you have to wash regularly. Now I am certain that you do that already, but do not become tempted to wash too frequently. Over sanitizing does not help, because the skin needs some oil on it to remain supple. If you keep sanitizing that ‘natural moisturizer’ off, your body will only produce more to replace it.

Therefore, wash as anyone one else would, but not more frequently and do not use perfumed soap. You may be allergic and you do not want more possibilities to cloud the issue.

Your hair and your hands also carry a certain amount of oil for the same reason, so keep them off your face. Your hair and your hands are oily and dust and pollution stick to them. If they touch your face, you are risking clogging up more pores with oily debris and thus worsening your acne issue.

Tie your hair back if it is long and use a handkerchief if you have to touch your face. Other things that come in everyday contact with your face that could get oily and dirty are pillow cases and towels. Therefore, shower before going to bed and use clean pillowcases each night.

As far as towels go, just use your own. Change it each day and if you require a towel outside your home, either carry your own or far better, use paper towels and do not rub, but dab your face dry.

There are specialist creams you can use to replace soap, but some of them are very harsh, which could trigger an over production of oil again. Simply remember that you have to let acne run its course, but you do not have to encourage it either.

Tanning Bed Tips

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 5:43 am

Many people like to have bronzed skin. Athletes, people who train in gyms, people with high-profile jobs, executives and many more prefer to have an even, all year tan. Then there are those who like to begin their tan before they go on holiday to a hot destination. This is very sensible, because it is too much of a shock to the skin to go from no sun to 40c in one day. It is far better to prepare your skin to get used to higher temperatures before you go.

This is all very well if you have your home in a hot part of the country, but if you did you would not need to keep topping your tan up anyway. Therefore people turn to tanning beds, tanning booths and tanning lamps. Some people purchase their own tanning bed or booth, but most people go to a tanning salon. If you have a spare room and some unused money, owning your own tanning bed is definitely a supreme luxury.

Owning your own tanning bed means that you do not have to plan journeys to the tanning salon, that there is no travelling or waiting and that your tanning bed is always waiting for you. However, you will be unassisted, so it is a very good idea to buff up on the health and safety advice associated with tanning beds. There ought to have been a pamphlet with the tanning bed when you bought it, but if you bought it second hand it could have been lost.

If your safety pamphlet has been lost, you could write to the manufacturers and offer to pay for a replacement or you could just go by the general advice that applies to all tanning beds. Another good idea is to take a few sessions at a tanning salon and learn as much as you can. However, in general, behave toward your tanning bed as you would the sun in the tropics, that is with a great deal of respect.

The first thing you certainly have to do before getting onto your tanning bed is rub a sun tan lotion which includes a moisturizer onto your skin. This is where you will have to exercise the most prudence. When you are outside in the sun, you want to block some of the sun’s rays, because you want to spend a couple of hours outside.

However, in a way, the reverse is the case on a tanning bed, you want to get tanned and you do not want to spend hours lying on the bed. Therefore, you will need a specialized moisturizer, tanning cream. There are plenty of them in the pharmacy, just ask.

A lot of people like to wear a head scarf or bathing hat to stop their hair from drying out. Then there are safety measures such as goggles to protect your eyes. Never, in any situation, look directly into a tanning lamp while it is on without eye protection. If you are going for an all over tan, you might find it helpful to put a few sticking plasters or band-aids over your pink bits or men might need a hankie or a flannel.

Check your tanning bed’s safety timer, before using the bed for the first time and on a regular basis after that. Make sure that it is precise and that you can depend on it. After the tanning bed session, shower and remoisturize to replenish your skin, but not with the same tanner-moisturizer you put on to tan with.

Strategies For Treating Acne

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Gail Jones @ 8:35 am

Most people with acne attempt to treat their blotchy skin with creams, face washes, soaps, lotions and treatments. However, the easiest way to cure acne is by altering your diet and getting rid of acne-producing items such as fried food. A healthy diet, rich in natural unprocessed foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains and beans is the first recommendation for treating acne.

Foods containing trans-fatty acids, milk, milk products, margarine, shortening and synthetically hydrogenated vegetable oils, as well as oily foods, should be avoided. It seems the prevalence of acne in the United States is caused by the typical American diet. Americans tend to eat fried food in large quantities, usually cooked in the most harmful of fats and oils.

However, not all fats are bad, but the fats that average Americans eat make them more prone to get acne and other skin problems. Items that can cause are ice cream, cheese, bacon, chocolate and milk. Furthermore, acne can’t actually be treated using creams and soaps because the root cause of the problem exists below the skin.

Pimples, spots and blemishes are produced by bacteria and other irritants lying below the skin’s oil glands and hair follicles, which are generally caused as a result of insufficient hygiene, squeezing and poor diet.

This poor diet could be caused by too high a proportion of such items as processed, fatty, fried and sugary foods in your diet. A diet that is good for your skin must consist of raw and lightly cooked vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables that contain valuable trace minerals and are rich in fibre. Fresh green vegetables are essential. You should also include in your diet lean protein sources and complex carbohydrates, such as rice, whole-grain bread and potatoes.

These fibre-rich foods will help ensure a healthy gastrointestinal tract, which is especially vital to the control of acne. You should eat three healthy meals daily in order to supply you with sufficient important nutrients and lower your craving for sweet or/and fatty, fried food.

You should eat lots more food that is rich in vitamin A, such as apricots, watermelons, and broccoli, along with lean beef, nuts, lentils and whole grains, because they are rich in zinc, which can also be helpful in treating acne breakouts. It’s also imperative to drink lots of water to help flush the poisons out that encourage acne.

Treating Acne Scars

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 10:45 am

Acne scars are an awful memento of the having suffered pimples or even acne before. They are unbearable because of their seeming longevity and their non-complimentary appearance. Generally speaking, acne scars are rather difficult to eradicate, but tissue regrowth is not impossible these days with all the fantastic technological developments.

In general terms, by acne scarring, we are referring to the healed lesions caused by an acne infection. While most scars are temporary and disappear naturally in time, those from the more severe forms of acne can become permanent.

Acne scarring can be prevented if the sufferer visits a doctor when it is in the incipient stage, particularly if nodules or cysts accompany the red pustules on the skin’s surface. If the bouts of acne have marked your skin, you will have to approach the issue from another perspective, which most of the time means surgery.

Laser resurfacing is one possibility of removing the damaged skin areas and stimulating the natural regeneration of the tissue beneath. The procedure requires only local anaesthesia and can take between a few minutes and an hour depending on the extent of the problem.

Fractional laser therapy is one of the most recent methods of eliminating acne scarring. It involves surgical intervention at deep skin layers. The treatment is superior to both dermabrasion and laser resurfacing in terms of quality and involves a much reduced healing period. Nevertheless, fractional laser therapy lies within the reach of only those few fortunate people, who can afford it, since it is the most expensive acne treatment available so far.

It can happen that other sessions are necessary to improve the condition of the superficial layers of skin, before they can tackle the deep level treatment of the acne scarring. The doctor may inject collagen into the scars in order to elevate the existing skin level or she/he may suggest micro-dermabrasion for the same purpose. Trying to carry out chemical peels at home is a bad policy given the chance of aggravating the condition by irritating the scars even more.

As for the types of acne scarring, they can be classified by the way they look. Scarring can result because of an increase of tissue or due to a loss of tissue They both have an adverse impact on the way the face looks. Specialists’ evaluation of the nature of the scars is a very important factor for the decision of adopting one form of treatment or another.

Pregnant Women And Acne Treatment

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 8:56 am

The treatment of acne is normally the correct move, if you have it, but not always. There are stages in a person’s life when you should not try to cure acne, just because you’d like to and, unfortunately, pregnancy is one of those times. Everyone knows, that this is a tricky period in a woman’s life and that therefore she has to take extra care of herself. If a pregnant woman wants to try to cure her acne, she must make sure that she arms herself with the right information.

This should also be remembered by those women who might get pregnant. The following are some medications for acne that are not recommended for use during pregnancy because they may be harmful for the fetus:

Hormonal therapy which may contain estrogen, flutamide, and spirolactone. They are definitely ruled out, because they are injurious and may lead to some issues for both the mother and the child. It is best see it as a threat.

Isotretinoin treatment is another one that could put a pregnant woman’s life at risk. Isotretinoin has negative issues too, especially for pregnant women and those who are breast-feeding. It could cause severe health issues in both the mother and her unborn baby. Therefore, it is advisable that a woman who is on Isotretinoin must be checked by an expert. Women who are trying to get pregnant must avoid taking Isotretinoin, since it may just trigger negative problems not only for mother but most especially for the child.

Oral tetracyclines, which could be made up of doxycycline, tetracycline and minocycline, must not be an option at all, because it would not do you any good. It has been shown that pregnant women or those who are breast-feeding should refuse the use of this drug because it may produce side effects that could be nothing short of a threat to the life of you and your baby. However, the most common side effect is the permanent discoloration of your teeth or / and bone weakness.

Topical retinoids, like as tazarotene, adapalene and tretinoin, is another group that should be stringently refused. Just like the afore-mentioned treatments, topical retinoids can be a danger to you and your foetus. No matter whether you are pregnant or not, it is just not wise to use any of the drugs mentioned above.

For those women, who are pregnant and have acne, it really is best to stay away from the heavy treatments mentioned here. Instead, why not settle for traditional remedies, like keeping your hair off your face, washing your face three-four times a day, changing your pillow cases every day and eating more fruit and avoiding fatty, oily and spicy food.

Tanning Pills

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 4:04 am

There are certainly a lot of people who worship the sun for its power to give them a better skin colour. When you think about this, it is quite plain to see, that these people are looking at ways that they can obtain a bronzed skin.

The methods that some people employ in order to get a suntanned skin include getting a tan outdoors from the sun itself, but also, tanning beds, tanning booths, spray on tanners, self tanning lotions and tanning pills. In part, the decision which of these methods you select, depends on the length of time that you can spare to get a good tan.

Some people opt for tanning pills, but in truth, they work a little differently from the other, more usual methods. For example, lotions work by spreading some of the liquid, usually oil based, on different sections of your body. It is your choice which parts of you, you want to change the colour of. However, tanning pills have to be ingested orally and so will affect the whole of your body. Also, you will need to select which tanning pills to take, because, unlike lotions, if you use tanning pills, you will have fewer colour choices.

You ought to be well aware of this important point, because you will have to select a depth of tan that does not differ too unfavourably with the colour of other parts of your body like your hair, eyes, lips, etc. You can get these tanning pills in the same shops as you buy your other tanning supplies.

You must however check the label to find out if there are any precautions you will need to take. For example, one of the most important safety measures that you can take, is to see if you might have an allergic reaction to the tanning pills.

Besides this though, you may also want to find out just what all the media hype over tanning pills is all about. This research will also help you to decide which of the different tanning pills on the market is the right one for you. In addition, if you look on the Internet, you will get the statistics on the number of people who have encountered problems after using these tablets. At this point in time, you will discover that there are three firm favourites when it comes to tanning pills.

These tanning pills are called EluSun, Deep Tan and Mayan Secrets. The main ingredient for two of these makes is carerenoids. This substance causes the top layer of skin to turn a pinkish colour. The colour might darken over time, but it is necessary for you to keep taking these pills for as long as you require the tan.

The main disadvantage of tanning pills is that these pills are just as dangerous to your health as sun bathing on the beach for hours at a stretch. Once you have found out all the information you can, you will have to decide whether taking tanning pills is worth the risk to your health, just to have tanned skin colour.

Self Tanning Spray

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 11:27 am

The tanned appearance is both popular and all the rage more now than at any time for decades; people like the brownish luminosity of their skin as it makes them feel fashionable and self-confident. However, at the same time, sun bathing is less and less prudent because of the rise in the quantity of skin cancer injuries. Therefore, substitutes to it have and still are being developed. Artificial tanning using tanning beds or sunless tanning by artificial means such as body lotions, creams, gels or self tanning spray are generally obtainable.

Although the most advanced method of getting a tan is the use of a tanning bed or tanning booth, not everybody can afford to buy their own machine or go to a salon four times a month in order to have their tan refreshened, so the do-it-yourself solutions have become more and more prevalent.

A self tanning spray is a cosmetic product frequently containing DHA that can be employed at home as a sunless tanning solution. DHA is a chemical that causes a reaction with the skin’s amino acids, which in turn causes the turning of the top layer of skin a brownish colour. The outcome of a self tanning spray lasts for about six or eight days, if you are wise not to take too long in the shower, if you shun using too a harsh soap and if you do not rub yourself too hard with the towel.

Self tanning is not without several challenges and so, although it is cheaper than treatment in a commercial tanning salon, it is also more difficult to get a satisfactory result. It is more difficult to get an even tan when using a self tanning spray. The coloring solution has to be atomized in a fine film with immense care not to overlap too much. Overlapping leads to darker tan shades on certain body areas.

Therefore, another drawback of the self tanning spray is that you may require another person’s assistance for the process. The back for example is very tricky to spray unless there is someone to assist you. The same difficulty presents itself for the back of the legs, the nape of the neck and the bottom. If you ask a friend to assist you with the tanning, it will make the process a lot simpler.

You must be especially cautious to safeguard your eyes, your lips, ears and other delicate body parts. It is also possible to stain your nails and palms when using a self tanning spray. You could remove this problem by using gloves or wet wipes whenever essential so as not to permit the tanning agent to dry on the palms or your hands or your nails.

Then, last but not least, do not spray too much liquid on your body, because the result may be an unusual orange glow or a rather uneven tan. Although many people frequently use these cans of self tanning spray in its various forms, there is no question about it that they are a lower quality solution when compared to the top-quality, but more expensive tanning bed or tanning booth.

Tanning Booths

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Angela Jones @ 3:15 pm

It is a well-known fact of life that a lot of people want to get a great celebrity tan just as if they had been soaking up the sun on a private beach in California. You would be able to get an all over tan with no clothing or strings to restrict the tanning process on your private beach. But private beaches do not come cheap, do they? Buying a tanning booth is one the several different ways that you can make use of to get the all over tan that you require.

These tanning booths are quite similar in design to the tanning booths which are very popular in commercial tanning enterprises. As with tanning beds, there are many makes of tanning booths on the market for both commercial and domestic tanning bed apparatus. So, you will need to investigate into these diverse tanning booth systems closely in order to find one that suits you and your budget. There are however a few notes of caution that you should keep in mind when selecting your tanning booth.

When you are using tanning booths, you will notice that these booths use very high temperature ultra violet bulbs to rapidly bring about the alterations your skin will have to go through in a tanning session in order to get bronzed. Just as when using tanning beds, you will need to use some protective eye glasses when in the tanning booths. These safety glasses will shield your eyes from becoming damaged by the powerful, but harmful ultra violet rays.

On the other hand, if these ultra violet rays are quite so hazardous, why do people desire to subject themselves to such protracted periods in tanning booths? Well, the answer is really fairly plain, it is just because of the fact that individuals like to have a beautiful, bronze coloured skin. Another point is that, since there is so much bad information in the papers about the hazards of sun tanning, it is easy to see why some individuals prefer to go the sunless tanning path instead.

Which is where tanning booths, among other products, come into their own. However, having mentioned a few details and dangers, if you are still considering acquiring a sunless tan then you might be interested in reading the advantages of using a tanning booth. The first advantage is that you can get a tan whenever you like. The second benefit is that the tanning booths take up less space than tanning beds as they stand in a vertical position.

However, before you go out and purchase a tanning booth, it is a good idea if you check out what a range of people have had to say about the products. If you still feel that tanning booths are the answer to your wishes, then there is a wide selection of tanning booths for you to consider.

Once you get your tanning booth installed in a spare room, you will never look back. The ease of use and being able to fit your tanning sessions in whatever time of the day or night you like is of immense benefit.

The depth and type of tanning depends on the spectrum of light produced by the tanning bulbs and the vast majority of tanning bulbs produce more ultraviolet light than the sun.

Practically all sunbed lamps use a unit called a ‘ballast’ to regulate their power consumption. The ballast stabilizes the flow of electrical current inside the lamp and is required in order to ensure that the bulbs take only the exact amount of wattage that they need in order to work properly.

There are various types of tanning bulbs on sale and include reflector tanning bulbs and high output lamps. Most bulbs fall into two main groups: high pressure and low pressure types. (Within the tanning industry, it is usual to refer to high pressure tanning lamps as bulbs and low pressure tanning bulbs as lamps). Both high and low pressure tanning bulbs require a lack of oxygen inside the tube.

High pressure tanning bulbs vary in length from three to five inches and operate with 250 to 2,000 watt ballasts, 400 watt high pressure tanning bulbs are the most common. They are usually incorporated in the face tanning component of a sun bed. High pressure tanning bulbs are made of quartz glass and an additional specialized coating, which is necessary to filter out potentially deadly UVC ultraviolet rays.

HP tanning bulbs contain a small amount of mercury or argon and produce ultraviolet light in high amounts. The handling of high pressure tanning bulbs should be carried out with a great deal of care and never with naked hands, because even a tiny amount of oil from your hands can cause the bulb to fail prematurely or even break and the resultant spillage of mercury is potentially dangerous. High pressure tanning bulbs ought to be replaced after about 1,000 hours although they will continue to produce light for up to 10,00 hours

Low pressure tanning lamps are very similar to normal fluorescent lights, but the glass tube of low pressure tanning bulbs automatically filters out UVC ultraviolet rays. Low pressure bulbs have a useful lifespan of between 600 and 1,600 hours with 1,000 hours being the norm again.

Tanning Lamps

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Gail Jones @ 10:07 am

Tanning bed bulbs are used in every tan bed or suntan lamp on the market. When you are purchasing a new or especially a used tanning bed, take a good look at the bulbs. Make sure that they are proper tanning bulbs and meet the FDA guidelines for health and safety. You should also consider how easy it is to get at the bulbs. Make sure that the bulbs are not difficult to change when needed. It is quite important and a lot cheaper if you can perform such simple maintenance yourself, if you buy a home tanning bed.

There are two completely different types of lamps used in conventional and high pressure beds. Ensure you get the right sun bed bulbs for your sun bed, because you cannot use any bulbs you like. If you are purchasing replacement bulbs on the Internet, check the make and model of your existing lamps carefully. Ensure that the bulbs you are buying are suitable for your bed.

High Pressure Tanning Bulbs: high pressure beds have quartz-tube lamps in a multitude of sizes. The gases used in these bulbs are pressurized to slightly higher than atmospheric pressure. The lamps in these beds are located in the hood of the bed, so that you tan only from above. When you have tanned the skin on one side of your body for about 10-12 minutes, you turn over and tan the other side. The flat bed of these tanners is a great deal more comfortable than a regular tanning bed.

One of the biggest advantage of these HP bulbs is the amount of time you have to spend on the tanning bed. Because you tan more quickly, you need to spend less time in the tanning salon, which means it works out cheaper. You can get the depth of tan you want in about three weeks of three to five sessions a week. However, with a low pressure bed, it would take you at least a month to acquire the same depth of colour. Maintaining your tan is much easier too. You only need two or three sessions each month to maintain the colour, as opposed to four times that many visits to a conventional salon bed. Many of these lamps produce UVA rays only, not UVB rays which cause sunburn.

Conventional Tanning Bed Bulbs: Conventional, or low pressure sunbeds use long tube lamps that look like regular fluorescent tubes. The lamps are situated above and below the tanning bed, which means that all the body areas are browned at the together, without having to change positions during the tanning session.

Low pressure beds use UVA and UVB rays in varying levels. Some use both rays and others emit mostly UVA with some UVB rays. UVA rays are the cause of the (premature) ageing effects on the skin and UVB rays are the burning rays that cause skin burn when you are outside in the sun. It is very important to determine which sort of rays your tan bed’s bulbs emit. You must ensure you replace your existing bulbs with lamps of the same specifications after about 1,000 hours of use.

Something else to think about when selecting the type of bed you use at home or in the salon, is the tanning bed lotion you will use. Different lotions suit different sorts of beds.

Regardless of the bed you use, you ought to certainly always use a lotion or a cream, because they will nourish your skin and help you get a Hollywood tan more quickly.

How to Treat Acne Successfully

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Rose Williams @ 3:10 pm

Acne is ghastly. However, it’s not something that cannot be dealt with. There are loads of acne skin care products around. We can classify acne skin care products into 3 broad categories -

* Deterrent or all-purpose acne skin care products; * Over-the-counter, specialised acne skin care items; * Prescription acne skin care products.

The general acne skin care products are the ones that are used as an acne-prevention measure. These include cleansers, make-up removers and similar items that help prevent acne. In the real sense, these acne skin care products are those that should be part of your daily schedule anyway. However, some of these are more orientated to work like an everyday acne skin care product.

These acne skin care products act against the reasons for acne e.g. limiting the production of sebum/oil and avoiding the clogging of skin pores. Essentially, these acne skin care items inhibit the oil from becoming blocked in the skin and consequently hamper the escalation of the bacteria that lead to acne. General acne skin care items also take in exfoliation products like skin peels. These work by exfoliating dead skin cells, hence reducing the possibility of pore-blocking and bacteria development.

Then there are specialised acne skin care products that are available over-the-counter i.e. without the requirement of a prescription. These include products like vanishing creams which remove the extra oil from the skin. Most of these acne skin care items are based on benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, both of which are the enemies of bacteria (and therefore acne). You should start with a product that has a lower concentration of benzoyl peroxide (e.g. 5%) and see how your skin reacts to it.

Alpha-hydroxy-acid based moisturizers are also common as acne skin care products. You may have to test a few, before you find the acne skin care product that is most successful for you. If nothing seems to work, you should contact a dermatologist.

Prescription acne skin care items are the ones that are prescribed by a dermatologist. These include ointments that can be applied on the affected area or oral antibiotics or just any topical medication. A dermatologist may also suggest a minor surgical process to do away with the contents of pustules. However, never try to squeeze or do this by yourself, as it can lead to the permanent damage of your skin.

Your general practitioner could also prescribe a hormone-based treatment (since hormonal changes are also known to cause acne). Such acne skin care products are known to be very efficacious in some circumstances. So, with all those acne skincare products, combatting acne is really not all that difficult.
