Get Rid Of Scar !!!


In most cases, once you have a scar, you can’t ever erase it completely. But, whether or not people seek treatment depends greatly on the location of the scar and the extent of the damage. It’s easy enough to overlook a scar on the thigh, but marks on the face or upper body can be distressing. Most scars are more of a nuisance than a serious problem, but if you’re really bothered by a scar, you have a few options:

    Topical treatments. While there’s still debate over how effective creams and ointments are with fading scars, ingredients like hydroquinone can help to lighten discoloration and are found in a variety of skin products.

 Product picks: Mederma is a well-known scar product that comes in a variety of formulas, including one that’s kid-friendly. In addition, Kelo-cote Scar Gel is designed specifically for keloid scars, and Goldfaden Arnica and Vitamin K helps with both scarring and bruising.

 Makeup. Luckily, today’s makeup can hide even the worst scars. Look to green-tinted concealers for acne marks, waterproof makeup for lasting coverage and body concealer for concealing larger scars.

 Product picks: Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer Light Golden is a long-wearing, waterproof formula; Dermablend Leg and Body Cover Medium is useful for larger areas needing cover-up; B. Kamins Booster Blue Corrective Concealer neutralizes redness as it conceals.
  
 Surgery. Professional procedures can change the shape of a scar so it isn’t as noticeable. Options include skin grafts, excision, dermabrasion or laser surgery. But remember that with raised scars, like hypertrophic or keloid scars, you might want to avoid surgery because of the potential for further scarring.

 Injections. Dermal fillers can be a temporary fix for pitted scars.

Remember that although you can help make your scar less noticeable, you can’t make it disappear. Treatment goals should focus on fading discoloration and making the scar less noticeable, not erasing it – so be patient with your scar treatment.

Here are some tips on curing your acne


Wash: This sounds easy, but a lot of people forget to do it. No matter how tired you are, or what time of the night/morning you make it home, make sure that you wash your face. This is always the first step to make sure that you are clearing the unwanted residue from your day. Think of it this way, washing your face twice a day will help to keep the acne away (clever, I know.)Spa alana provides the best facials

Topical Ointments:  Instead of using an intense acne cleanser or acne lotions all over your face, why not make it easy and use a specialty treatment? Often it is the people with acne that have sensitive skin and the most specific needs.  If you are using a scrub to try and get rid of your acne on the sensitive areas that don’t have acne; you are probably going to break out and harm the skin more. Try and use a topical ‘medicine’ to unblock the pores and kill the bacteria’s. Use things such as Benzyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, and Glycolic acid to help unblock the pores and to remove bacteria on the skin. Apply these topical ointments directly on the skin. Down the road you will be able to use a serum, which helps to even out the pigmentation of your skin. This will help when there are whiteheads or blackheads.
  
 Serums: For a case of bad acne, I don’t think it is necessary to over-moisturize your skin. Instead of using a cream, try using a serum based moisturizer, that won’t clog your pores. This serum will also be used to penetrate into your skin without leaving your skin feeling oily. Every time, I break out, I switch to a serum moisturizer and it really helps.

Masks: Lastly, try every so often to use a hydrating mask. If you following these steps, which I give you definite kudos if you are, using a hydrating mask will help once a week. The specialty products may dry out your skin a wee bit, so the once a week mask while help vitalize your skin and give it the moisture it may be lacking.

Get Healthy Skin…

ealthuyHe

We all know that we should be eating at least five portions of fruit and veg a day to optimize our intake of those essential Vitamins and Minerals.

In order to break the raw food tedium of apples and carrot sticks, many of us drink fruit juice as a quick and easy alternative. According to scientists at Bangor University however, fruit juice should not count towards our five-a-day as it contains too much sugar.The sugary taste, scientists report, sparks a psychological cycle of sweet food and drink consumption that is in fact detrimental to our health. Read the full article here.

So, with one quick fix out of the window, here are our replacement top three tips for cheating your way to your five a day:

1. Smoothies and soups

Unleash your inner domestic goddess by whipping up some delicious smoothies and soups for a healthy meal or snack. Not only are they simple to make but they’re also jam-packed full of those vital vitamins and minerals. For the ultimate skin-boosting smoothie, blend strawberries, blueberries and blackberries together with some natural yoghurt and manuka honey.

All these fruits are incredibly rich in Vitamin C which promotes the production of collagen and keeps skin firm, supple and youthful.

2. Decorate your meals with fruit and veg

Add dried or fresh fruit to your regular breakfast for effortless extra health points. Dried raisins, dates and apricots are great in muesli, and mashed banana is (we think) pretty yummy on toast! If your tooth is more savory, add fresh tomatoes and mushrooms to your omelette or scrambled eggs.

3. Take sides

Add a side salad to every meal for easy greens hit.

Not only will this count as one of your five a day (two if you have one with lunch as well) but it will also help increase the alkalinity of your diet.

A slightly alkaline diet is thought to benefit difficult, allergic or sensitive skin.
