Who doesn’t want to be young and beautiful forever .. and to keep ourselves the same we need to take full care of ourselves and for that, we should know the DISEASE. ITS CAUSE AND REMEDY OR TREATMENT.
Skin is the outermost covering of the organs of our body and the facial skin is considered the most sensitive in terms of taking its care.
Because it’s the summer time of the year .. we face more problems in terms of beautification.
In general.. the issues faced are.
1. Dry skin
2. dark circles
3. acne
4. Wrinkles and fine lines
5. blackheads
6. Unclogged pores
DRY SKIN
Dryness of the skin is the most common problem we face in all the seasons and the main reason for that is DEHYDRATION but other reasons cited for the same are…
Sun exposure
Unbalanced skin pH
Exposure to harsh chemicals in soaps and other products
TREATMENT OR REMEDIES FOR DRY SKIN ARE.
wash your face daily with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water
choose your products according to skin
apply sunscreens with SPF30
apply lotions after shower to lock moisture
use petroleum jellies
beef, sweet potato, sweet red pepper, cod liver oil, kiwi, soy, almond, oat milk, sunflower seeds
overnight face moist technique.
lukewarm water shower and pat your skin to remove droplets apply hyaluronic acid or glycerine-based serums immediately and leave it overnight
ACNE
When openings of hair follicles become clogged and blocked with oil and dead skin cells and these clogged pores become bacteria-infected .. a small red bump with pus at the top occurs and that is called PIMPLE
Acne increases during puberty because there is a hormonal overdrive during that period.
Food habits are a main cause of acne too and those foods causing acne are.. refined grains and sugars, whey proteins, fast foods, chocolates and foods rich in omega -6fats.
REMEDIES FOR ACNE.
Wash your face at regular intervals
Try not to touch the pimples
Limit makeups
Stay hydrated
Limit sun exposure
use lemon juice and water as a toner
WRINKLES and FINE LINES
With increasing age .. skin. Becomes less elastic and generally more fragile because the natural oil production in the body drops and skin becomes dry and thus resulting in wrinkles and fine lines.
REASONS
Fat in the deeper layers decreases along with the decrease in the collagen content of the body
The skin becomes saggy and loose.
Deficiency of vitamin B results in rashes, dry skin and cracked lips and finally wrinkles
A diet high in refined carbs and added sugars Can lead to collagen damage and ultimately sagging and deep wrinkles at an early stage
PREVENTION
sun protection
vitamin rich foods
avoid smoke
keep ur face relaxed
stay hydrated
moisturise your skin regularly
include anti-ageing foods in your diet eg papaya, blueberries, spinach, broccoli etc have vitamin A, C, E and K
use bananas and avocados which are rich in anti oxidants ..Fiber and essential nutrients
include green tea which has anti-oxidants. Catechins and polyphenols cut down the radical content and fight wrinkles, fine lines saggy skin etc
include liquid collagen externally in your diet as a supplement to help fight wrinkles and fine lines and make skin firm and healthy
DARK CIRCLES
As we age the skin gets thinner due to fat loss and loss in collagen to maintain the elasticity of the skin which results in visible dark blood vessels forming beneath the skin and it looks darker
Another reason for dark circles is lack of sleep due to any reasons
Genetics is another reason
Allergies and alcohol consumption
Anemia
Deficiency of vitamin B12, E AND K
PREVENTION
External collagen supply
Stress management
Sleep peacefully
External supply of iron and vitamins
BLACKHEADS
These are a kind of acne which are caused if the following reasons.
CAUSES
Increased oil/sebum production in the body
Abnormal keratin
Increased androgen (a male hormone in the female body)
Increased presence of bacteria
When oil production increases ..the hair follicles are clogged which leads to oil collection on the skin and air and dirt exposure caused the plugs to look bumpy and black
PREVENTION
wash your face using a gentle cleanser
steam your face to open up the clogged pores
use pore strips
exfoliate regularly at the interval of one week
never squeeze out a blackout but if u must due to any reasons ., never use nails .. use exfoliating tools
apply topical retinoids
home remedy.. 1tsp of baking soda plus lemon juice and lukewarm water.. natural exfoliator.
avoid sun exposure
So, these are some issues, causes and remedies for skin generally faced by all of us.
I always say Aging is natural and has to come to all of us and there are two ways to face it
Accept the age the way it comes to u
AGE LIKE A FINE WINE MEANS AGE GRACEFULLY
So it’s up to you how you decide to age and stay young and healthy forever
