their time and money to look
Attractive and to get a good skin texture. But they have
many question about it which they have no answer. Here we solve some common skin care queries from
our skin experts which will help you to find correct to get right skin
care.
Most common skin care queries with
their answered:
1. I am 20 year old and have many pimples
on my face and skin?
Before going
to bed, wash your face then dab a little toothpaste (white paste, not the blue
gel type and not the whitening type) on the pimple.
Drink lots of
water! Always keep a bottle of water in your car, in your purse, or at your
desk.
Use cornmeal
to exfoliate your face – it’s a home remedy that has worked for me in the past
because it helps to get rid of dead skin cells that can block the pores.
If you wear
makeup be sure that it is 100% pure mineral makeup as non-mineral makeup can clog
the skin and also lead to long term sensitivity.
2. I have dark patches on some parts
of my body. How do I get rid of them?
You will need many peels at regular
intervals along with sunscreen in the morning and You can even do laser
treatments for skin lightening called Medlite. If you have un-even skin tone on
your face, you could use the niltan cream at night and sunscreen during the day
would be a must to avoid further dark patches on the skin.
3. How can I remove acne scars from
my face?
For
removing acne marks such as brown pigmentation and redness, intense pulse light
may be useful. For the more depressed scars, chemical peeling, surgical scars
revision may also help. But the actual treatment options will depend on the
types and nature of acne scars, you could be prescribed creams to
lighten the marks, surgery to revise the scars, injection of medication into
the protruding scars and the skin expert could also advice laser treatment to smooth-en the scars.
If you have blemishes caused by acne
and pimple scarring, one could also look for acne fighters with salicylic
acid, which combats signs of aging by exfoliating. You could try Healthy
Skin Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Cleanser which is also useful on scars of
acne.
4. Even after washing my face many
times a day, why do I still get acne?
This is because acne is not caused
only by dirty skin; there are many other factors which affect the skin by which
acne occurs on the face. It could be because of blockage of oil gland,
accumulation of oil gland secretion, excessive bacterial growth within the oil
gland and inflammation of the oil gland, Improper diet, oily skin, eating of
too much oily food, ellergy due to some food items, stress, tensions many other
reasons.
Washing your face will only help to
remove dirt, dust and oil from the skin but it will not change the other
factors which are a reason for the formation of acne, these have to be checked,
understood and dealt properly to avoid acne .
5. Does stress cause acne and does
diet have a role in causing acne?
Yes, stress may stress may aggravate
and precipitate acne and according to a survey it is said that people
with good and healthy diet do not get too many pimples where as some people
suffer from allergies due to the consumption of certain food items. So, you
need to identify which food is bad for your skin and is causing acne and then
avoid eating it.
6. I have facial hair, how do I
get rid of it?
Laser treatment is the only
permanent solution available as of now. And for this you need to consult a
reputed dermatologist for complete hair removal with laser. There are
some new developments in the laser treatment for hair removal like
Soprano Super hair removal which are totally painless and leave no
scars.
7. How does one deal with stretch
marks?
Treatments like pixel laser,
retinoic acid peel, and dermaroller has also been successfully used in stretch
markreduction. You would have to consult a dermatologist for treating stretch
marks with the appropriate medical treatment. You can also try to reduce
the stretch marks by applying retinoic acid cream at night and
stretch away cream in the morning after bath.
8. I have blackheads on my face. Is
there any home remedy for it?
Yes, there are home remedies for
black heads like steaming and use of a paste made of besan and lemon juice
which should be scrubbed on the face and washed off with warm water twice a
day. Make a paste out of baking soda and water. Gently massage on face (or
wherever you get blackheads). Rinse. Follow with a light moisturizer. You won't
even believe how soft and clean your skin will be.
You can also Mix lemon juice
salt and pepper then dip cotton ball in it and apply 2 affected areas. This
also works well on black heads.
9. My skin is very oily how do I
handle it?
Wash your face at least 4 times a
day with a good face wash and then use water-based moisturizer. When you use a
sunscreen it should have moisturizer content in it and if still your skin is
oily then you could take a Vitamin A supplement but cautiously only
under medical prescription of a skin expert.
10.My facial skin has a lot of open
pores. What should I do?
For open pores toner could help to
some extent but creams will not be of help. For some good results one could try
out a fractional laser treatment which works well, but has to be done at
monthly intervals. Vinegar is very helpful in treating oily skin. Apply vinegar
on the oily skin with a cotton ball. If your skin is sensitive then add 4
teaspoons of water to 1 teaspoon vinegar.
