| DOs and DON’Ts for Normal Skin |
 |
|
| Normal skin is definitely the easiest skin type to take care of, but just because it’s normal doesn’t mean that it doesn’t require basic care. Just like any other skin type, normal skin still should be washed and moisturized daily in order to prevent dry skin or acne. Here are a few do’s and don’ts for normal skin. |
|
| Do’s: |
| 1. |
Do wash your face twice a day; once in the morning and again before you go to bed. |
| 2. |
Do always take off your makeup before you go to bed, no matter how late it is or how tired you are. Makeup will clog the pores if left on for too long, which can cause acne to develop. |
| 3. |
Do always use a moisturizer. Even if you don’t have particularly oily skin, moisturizer can help |
|
|
| |
hydrate the skin. Without the hydration, skin can become dry and eventually promote wrinkles. |
| 4. |
Do exfoliate once a week. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, which in turn promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells, and leaves your skin looking smoother. |
| 5. |
Do use sun screen to protect your face when you go out in the sun. Our faces are the most exposed parts of our bodies and it sees the most sun damage. Use a moisturizer that has an SPF of at least 15 or use a sun screen in conjunction with your moisturizer. |
|
|
| Don’ts: |
| 1. |
Don’t smoke. Have you ever noticed the skin of someone that is a lifelong smoker? It looks tissue paper thin and is likely covered in wrinkles. Even if you do smoke, stop, in order to prevent this from happening to you. |

|
|
| |
Causes Of Sensitive Skin |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Sensitive skin has a tendency to over-react to various physical or chemical factors. The causes of sensitive skin are many, and it is often hard to identify exactly which ingredients or conditions you are reacting to. |
|
| |
These factors can be internal and/or external: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
External factors: |
|
| |
| - |
skincare products containing an ingredient which irritates the skin |
| - |
skin diseases, such as atopic eczema, contact dermatitis, psoriasis and rosacea
|
| - |
skin traumas, such as sunburn and aggressive skin treatments like chemical peels and abrasion |
| - |
the environment, including cold, heat, pollution and air conditioning diet, alcohol, spicy food , stress. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|

Internal factors: |
|
| |

| 3. |
Never use any article where the oil and water mixture has separated or where the colors are clearly separating. Keep soothing lotions like LIWELL Beauty Essential Soothing Tonic Lotion at hand. |
| 4. |
If you find yourself reacting to sunscreen products, try a sunscreen that is water-resistant rather than water proof, as the former contains less synthetic oils. The more your sunscreen, the better; it’s the chemical ingredients that cause sensitivity problems. |
| 5. |
While sorting out the cosmetic products always check out for hypo allergic range and keep the use of chemical-based products to a minimum. |
|
|
| |

| |
| 1. |

Dehydrated skin is defined as the skin in which surface dehydration takes place.
This is taut skin with a scaly feel, revealing a lot of superficial lines and prone to premature ageing. As is obvious, this skin condition is caused by the rapid loss of water on thin surface of the skin.
|
|
| |
Cause Of Dehydrated |
| |
The clue to surface hydration is provided by the horny layer as follows: |
| |
| 1. |
Poor cleansing is major reason as soap could be really harsh to the skin as it is alkaline in nature. It takes away the hydro-lipid film from the surface of the epidermis and thus the horny layer is exposed. |
| 2. |
Skin is the next cause of dehydrated skin. It might be the result of acne treatments such as retinoic acid, hexachlorophene, hydrogen peroxide and many more. |
| 3. |
Neglecting the skin and not giving proper care could also lead to dehydrated skin. Applying moisturizers regularly also brings life to the skin. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
| |
| 4. |
Regular usage of scrubs on the skin could lead to breaking down of the cell cohesion in different
skin types, ended up with reducing the ability to retain moisture & damage to the capillaries. |
| 5. |
Air conditioning or exposure to extreme climate could lead to loss of moisture from the skin. |
| 6. |
The hot showers could remove the sebum from the surface of the skin. This is because of the friction as well heat of hot water and it results in capillary damage and dehydration. Remember always practice to wash face with lukewarm water only. |
| 7. |
Diet plays a major role in enhancing the skin tone. Dehydration of the skin could be caused by excessive salt intake. Sodium chloride known as salt as the ability to transfer water from the cells interior to the interstitial fluids which creates bloating as well water retention simultaneously. |
| 8. |
Coffee plays a major role in dehydration. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| |
Tips For Dehydrated Skin Care |
|
|
|
| |
| |
The most important thing is to point out the cause for dehydration and take necessary steps to overcome it. |
| |
|
| 1. |
Use oil in water emulsions having natural moisturizing factors known as NMF.
They include glucose, amino acids or electrolytes. They play a major role in retaining the moisture on the surface of the skin. But they should not be depended upon during harsh or extreme climatic conditions. |
| 2. |
The most reliable protection is offered by the protective creams which have high lipid content. |

This skin condition is caused by a weakness in the capillary vessels and characterized by a localized reddening of the skin. Usually the capillaries expand to receive the sudden rush of blood to the skin. Later they subside and return to the normal state. On the other hand, with a weak elasticity for the capillaries, they surely would expand but do not contract and in the same way do not return to the normal state. Hence it leads to dilated capillaries which have lingering blood cells. This would make them more defined and also appear to be red on the surface of the skin. The structural change that happens during ageing could also result in couperose skin. |

In this case, the skin looks withered, a condition caused primarily by a deficiency in nutritional components. The skin appears looser and thinner, elastic fibres degenerate due to water loss while fat tissue reduce in thickness, causing ageing and a breakdown in the skin’s elasticity. There is a dramatic reduction in oil production, thus causing dryness. To make matters worse, blood circulation is reduced due to cholesterol deposits in the arterioles.
Getting older also means that the skin also starts to get older and certain changes takes place in the skin. The skin shows drastic changed like it becomes wrinkled intensely, dry and various spots and certain growths occur. Apart from all these the healing time for the skin also takes long.
Ageing plays a major role in changing the skin texture and is also a long process. As the age increases, the estrogen levels as well as the moisture balance of the skin starts to decrease. This is the reason for the skin to loose its elasticity as well as the firmness. The circulation of blood on the surface of the skin decreases as the protecting layer of the skin known as the lipid layer becomes thinner. Then, the defense mechanism of the skin also starts subsiding slowly as the cellular renewal deteriorates.
Many of the skin changes for mature skin are unavoidable, natural and above all it is harmless. But some others prove to be painful such as skin cancers and other serious and dreadful situations. But it is also proven that most of the skin hazards for mature skin could be prevented to certain extend. There are therapies which are available for all skin type.

Facial skin types extend to the rest of the body. It also includes the hands and feet.
|
| |
| |
|
| 1. |
Hands always need extra pampering because they are prone to being in water and handling detergents. Rubbing warm oil into them at bedtime and leaving it over night is a good remedy. If you run out of body lotion, use a rich face cream on your hands. A professional manicure is essential once in a month. |
| 2. |
Elbows are known to be those areas which are blackened soon due to constant friction. There are different home remedies to decrease this effect. |
| 3. |
The best home remedy is to cut a lemon into half and press an elbow into each half for about ten to fifteen minutes once in a day. This will act as natural bleach and noticeably lighten the skin. |
| 4. |
The scrubbing done with chick pea flour or oats mixture helps in removing the dry skin and even keeps the area soft and smooth. |
| 5. |
Another effective home remedy is a paste of gram flour, cucumber juice, freshly grated potato juice and curds applied to the area. This also works as instant natural bleach. |
| 6. |
It is also essential to keep the area soft with moisturizer during the day and a thick cream at night. |
| 7. |
The clinical cure for a really blackened elbow is the glycolic acid peel, where the outer layers of the skin are burnt with acid and peeled off, leaving fresh new skin in its place. |
| 8. |
Feet are the most important area which is to be kept clean always. A professional pedicure is a must once in a month. In the interim period, a weekly soap-water soak at home is a good idea. Mix little soapy detergent in a tub of warm water. Add salt to it for a soothing effect on your feet, and also add few drops of oil for the moisturizing effect. Soak your feet in the solution as long as possible. The oil is an important counterbalance since the soap detergent will remove a lot of moisture from the skin. Use a pumice stone to remove dry skin around the soles. Always keep toenails clipped short. |

| ADJUSTING FOR WEATHER, AGE& CLIMATE |
|
|
|
| |
The skin type always changes along with the weather change, age or even the climate. This also tells that you have to adjust yourself to make thing in a much better way. This would let you to switch onto lighter moisturizer or a gel cleanser in summer, or use richer, creamier products in winter, in an arid climate or even after a long flight.
Many women experience adult acne in their twenties and early thirties and find themselves scanning labels for pore-scouring ingredients they haven’t used since their early teens. As you get older, especially after menopause, the sebaceous glands known as the oil-producing glands produce less, so typically dry skin becomes even drier. That’s the time to add denser, more emollient creams, fortified with anti-ageing ingredients, to your arsenal. By paying attention to any shifts and adjusting your regimens accordingly, you can make sure your skin consistently looks and feels its best.

For everyone the most important thing which is considered to be a boon is a flawless skin. But it is not available to all as there are several problems which are faced by all skin types.
There are several troubles of the skin which includes freckles, pigmentation, ageing, stretch marks, birthmarks and many more. |
|
|
| |
FRECKLES |
|
| |
Freckles are a genetic problem. Freckles usually increase with exposure to sunlight, so as a sunscreen with a high SPF is a must. However freckles that are aggravated by sudden excessive exposure to sun, like a holiday on the beach, usually lighten on its own.
Freckles are also likely to increase during your period and if you are under great stress.
Clinical treatments could lighten freckles but will not remove them completely. Some of the really big ones may be removed by electro-cauterization where the top layers of the freckle are burnt and allowed to become a scab which falls off. The use of de-pigmenting cream and strong sun blocks is the best method of dealing with freckles. Suggested LIWELL Radiance White Whitening Spot Corrector and Beauty Essential Day High Protection Lotion SPF30. |
|
|
| |
PIGMENTATION |
|
| |
Pigmentation of skin is caused by hormonal changes in the body. These often occur during pregnancy. Seventy percent of pigmentation that happens during pregnancy goes away on its own. The thirty percent that remains, remains stubbornly. It can be controlled, but not eliminated completely.
Ageing is yet another cause for pigmentation, especially during the pre-menopausal changes in the body. There are various de-pigmenting creams such contain hydroquinone & tritenonen, two to four percent containing creams which many of them prefer. It is just because they help to lighten the patches for a while. However, this is only superficial, artificial and may cause skin cancer. There is a lot de-pigmentation creams which claim superb result in the market which are high contain of hydroquinone which will cause serious side effect to skin, but the brand owner and retailer might not tell you the truth.
For you information, Hydroquinone and Tritenone which are totally prohibited by local government, which is not legally sell by ordinary retail shop and beauty salon except government recognized skin practitioners/ doctor.

STRETCH MARK |
|
|
| |
Stretch marks are known to be another skin problem faced by all people especially after delivery. But the simple plain truth that people do not want to accept is that stretch marks have no cure. Post natal marks could be snipped off by a plastic surgeon, but glycolic acid peels, retinoic acid peels; even laser treatments are all useless. Once the elastic fibres snap, nothing can be done.
Yet there is a roundabout way that involves camouflage. The skin surrounding the stretch marks can be lightened by a skin lightening treatment, so that the white streaks are lessened and the marks don’t show.

BIRTHMARKS |
|
|
| |
Birthmarks are those which could be removed by laser treatment. Wrinkles are known to be alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) creams. This helps to control wrinkles to a larger extent. Ageing causes skin to thin, creating wrinkles, so these creams work by thickening the epidermis. They also regenerate the collagen or the supportive tissues, thus making the skin look younger and suppler. |

CAUSES AND TREATMENTS FOR SKIN PROBLEMS |
|
|
| |
Stress is the most important thing that creates skin problems. Just as it affects every other system in the body go awry, it affects the skin too. It is in the form of disturbed glandular balance.
The truth is that everything you do under the effect of stress shows up on your skin. If you sleep badly, dark circles or bags come up under the eyes. If you eat badly, dark circles or bags come up under the eyes. If you eat badly, it shows up in the form of pale, unhealthy skin which loses its translucence. In the oily skin type, it causes even more damage because stress activates the hormones which stimulate the oil glands. Thus more oil than usual gushes out of the wide open pores, leading to an outbreak of pimples. Haven’t you noticed how adolescents suffer from more acne during exams?
Eczema is clearly a stress-related skin disease where stress automatically makes the patches itch. The best way to combat the effects of stress on the skin is to exercise and also make it a regular one as a routine. It could be in any form such as yoga, aerobics or walking. This increases circulation, sends more oxygen and nourishment to the skin, flushes out toxins and keeps the skin looking healthy.

The second way is to stick to a low-fat diet. Experiments have proven that chocolates are only temporary mood elevators and they will surely spoil your skin in the long run. So rid yourself of the myth that chocolates relieve stress, immediately!

After establishing basic cleansing and moisturizing routine, supplement it with one or more of various things needed. The most important are the exfoliation or exfoliates. Exfoliation isn’t as elemental as cleansing and moisturizing, but it should still be an integral part of any skin-care routine. This is because every three to four weeks, new skin cells push their way from the lowest level of the epidermis which is the topmost layer of the skin to the surface. Once there, they dry and fall off, revealing plumper, fresher cells beneath them. Exfoliating speeds up the sloughing process by scrubbing of the top skin. As a result, skin is smoother and more radiant and skin care ingredients penetrate more easily.
Exfoliates can be either physical or chemical. Physical ones are creams or gels containing rounded synthetic, polyethylene beads. Chemical ones include a variety of enzymes, fruits acids and retinoid which are the vitamin A derivative. Dermatologists recommend exfoliating a few times a week. The more oily your skin, the more often you should do it. We have two type of Exfoliate product for cater your need: LIWELL Beauty Essential Face Exfoliate Gel & LIWELL Enzyme Peeling Cream.
The next thing which is important is the toner. Many of us grew up dutifully toning our skin every morning and night. But today, most dermatologists agree that the toner isn’t necessary. It main purpose is to remove all traces of makeup and residual cleanser, but a high-quality cleanser, even a creamy one, should rinse off easily with water alone. Some women like the fact that toner leaves their face tight and smooth. But that taut, tingly sensation actually indicates dryness-especially if your toner contains astringents such as alcohol or witch hazel. The ideal candidate for toner is someone with oily or acne prone skin who enjoys that squeaky-clean feeling, and who can actually benefit from newer, more treatment-oriented formulations. Make sure to use an oil-free version that contains acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid, as well as hydrating ingredients like aloe and glycerin. This is why we develop an 3 In 1 all skin type toner “ LIWELL Beauty Essential Soothing Tonic Lotion “ , Of it leaves the skin uncomfortably tight, use it every other day. We still have others type of Toner for more specific needs.

The cleansing cloths and pillows are very important for the skin care. The newest category of facial cleansers is a boon for “germa-phobes” and frequent travelers. Cleansing cloths and pillows have built-in cleansers so they lather up when they get wet, and you toss them after one use so they never get contaminated with bacteria. Even better, some cloths are pre-moistened so you don’t even need water to wash your face. They scrub skin like a wash cloth, and some have a rougher side for exfoliating. But the most important thing is that the cleansing cloth as well as pillows is incredibly convenient. They eliminate the need to open a bottle or hunt for a wash cloth tasks that sound effortless but actually feel like a chore after a later night out or in a cramped airplane bathroom.
Skin is the most important of all and should be taken care always. Caring the skin from childhood itself shows up a lot of difference as the age increases. The daily skin care routine of the individual should consist of eye-contour gel or cream, oil free moisturizer, cleansers, exfoliates, night creams and all those which is very important for making you look younger and healthy. This would really mean to be something great when you grow older as proper care to the skin would result in better skin when you are old.
