Beauty tips for You

“It's beauty that captures attention,and its personality that captures heart"

Very simple and easy steps to get clean and even tone skin

Step 1

Exfoliate your skin daily to remove dead skin cells that can make patches of your skin appear darker than the rest. Simply mix 1 tbsp. of brown sugar and 1tbsp. of almond oil in a small bowl. Apply the exfoliator to your skin using your fingertips. Massage the exfoliator into your skin using a circular motion for five minutes. Remove the exfoliator with a warm water rinse.

Step 2

Apply lemon juice to your skin three times a week to reduce any dark pigmentation that makes your skin look uneven. Cut a lemon in half using a sharp knife. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half into a small bowl. Dip a cotton ball into the lemon juice. Massage the lemon juice into your skin. Do not rinse.

Step 3

Moisturize your skin daily using a coconut oil. Coconut oil contains fats and vitamins, which can help rehydrate and smooth your skin. Keep your skin well hydrated to reduce dry patches. Massage a dime-sized amount of coconut oil to your skin using your fingertips several times a day.


Psoriasis:

              The name psoriasis is from Ancient Greek, meaning roughly "itching condition" (psora "itch" + -sis "action, condition").
Psoriasis  is an autoimmune disease that affects the skin. It occurs when the immune system mistakes the skin cells as a pathogen, and sends out faulty signals that speed up the growth cycle of skin cells. Psoriasis is not contagious. However, psoriasis has been linked to an increased risk of stroke, and treating high blood lipid levels may lead to improvement.There are five types of psoriasis: plaque, guttate, inverse, pustular, and erythrodermic.
Signs and symptoms of psoriasis :
  • Plaques of red, inflamed skin, often covered with loose, silver-colored scales. These plaques may be itchy and painful and sometimes crack and bleed. In severe cases, the plaques will grow and merge into one another, covering large areas.
  • Disorders of the fingernails and toenails, including discoloration and pitting of the nails. The nails may also begin to crumble or detach from the nail bed.
  • Scaly plaques on the scalp.
  • Small areas of bleeding where the involved skin is scratched.

What is an Acne?


Acne is a skin condition that causes pimples or "zits." This includes whiteheads, blackheads, and red, inflammed patches of skin.

 SELF-CARE

Steps you can take to help your acne:
                  * Clean your skin gently with a mild, nondrying soap (such as Dove, Neutrogena, Cetaphil, CeraVe, or Basics). Remove all dirt or make-up. Wash once or twice a day, including after exercising. However, avoid scrubbing or repeated skin washing.
                   * Shampoo your hair daily, especially if it is oily. Comb or pull your hair back to keep the hair out of your face.

What NOT to do:

                   * Try not to squeeze, scratch, pick, or rub the pimples. Although it might be tempting to do this, it can lead to skin infections and scarring.
                   * Avoid wearing tight headbands, baseball caps, and other hats
                   * Avoid touching your face with your hands or fingers.
                   *Avoid greasy cosmetics or creams. Take off make-up at night. Look for water-based or "noncomedogenic" formulas. Noncomedogenic products have been tested and proven not to clog pores and cause acne.

If these steps do not clear up the blemishes, try over-the-counter acne medications. You apply these products directly to your skin.

                 * They may contain benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid.
                 * They work by killing bacteria, drying up skin oils, or causing the top layer of your skin to peel.
                 * They may cause redness or peeling of the skin.

A small amount of sun exposure may improve acne a little, but mostly it just hides the acne. However, too much exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet rays is not recommended because it increases the risk for skin cancer.
