Our skin, which is the largest organ on the body, takes a lot of abuse and it doesn’t care. It’s the skins job to be the protector of the body and this organ does what it can to keep us as safe as possible. This is something a lot of us take for granted. We go gallivanting in the sun or visit the tanning bed, we pick at our pimples and scabs, and allow bacteria and dirt to stay longer than necessary; we don’t even realize it either. Even if you are using a skin care product, you should still follow these four rules for helping keep your skin at tip top conditions.

1. Wash your face with a cleanser twice daily. The reason behind this is that, throughout the day, your face is polluted with makeup and environmental elements that can put you in danger for a breakout of pimples.  So washing your face in the morning is good, giving you a fresh start to the day, but washing your face at night is essential. Also using the right cleanser is important. Find one that will not react adversely to your skin and does not have a scrub quality to it (scrubs should only be used once in a while).  For the sake of already mentioning it, Dermajuv cleansers would be good for a daily face wash. They contain organic natural ingredients (like Tangerine Oil and Olive Leaf Extract) that do not react adversely to skin and are gentle to our skin.  Now Dermajuv cleanser are not the end all of facial cleansers but they are at the top of their game.

2. Do not pick at your blemishes and scars. This is huge when it comes to treating your skin right. The reason for this is that you are tearing at your already inflamed skin tissue, giving it even more work to do. Pimples are dirt and grime and bacteria that get stuck in your pores causing a pimple to form. If you break it up, yes you are releasing the stuff stuck inside but you are also doing two things that can cause more problems: first you are allowing that dirt and bacteria to be spread to another area creating more pimples, and you are doing what I said above tearing the skin tissue possibly causing scars. So just follow the above step and keep washing your face with the Dermajuv or any other cleansers, the pimple will eventually go away.

3. Do not go to the Tanning Bed. Just please do not do this. Tanning beds are pretty much the equivalent of baking your skin. We are fully allowing the UV rays that we have been trying to stay away from (due to UV rays causing premature aging and skin cancer) about inches away from your face and body. It just makes no sense to me.If you would like to get color on your skin, go for the spray tan route or the self tanning lotion route instead.

Take this as a warning, the more you make the skin’s job as a protector harder to accomplish, the faster your skin starts breaking down. This means wrinkles, lines, saggy skin, and the most immediate affect acne and acne scars. Cleansers do a good job of helping with these, but if you were to have been aware earlier you wouldn’t have needed them. Just remember that following these three very important rules and using the right product, you will make your skin happy. This in turn will make the skin work harder and look better.

People always suggest that you should use this in your daily facial skin care routine, and you should use in your daily body skin care routine and sometimes it just gets a little confusing. In all honesty, you will probably go through a ton of products and different routines till you get one that works for you, but there are essentials. There are two different products you need in your daily facial or body skin care routine, for a more specific area (like eyes or neck) you can add the products on.

First, you need a good facial cleanser. This is especially important when you are prone to break outs and acne. You want to fight the bacterium that causes pimples before they become pimples. How do you do this? Well with a facial cleanser that acts as an antiseptic while not harshly reacting with your skin. The healthiest facial cleanser for anybodies skin would be a organic cleanser, but if you cannot find a fully organic cleanser that is within your reach or price limit, here are a few ingredients that you should look for. Tangerine Oil is a fantastic antiseptic and antioxidant that when applied to a facial cleanser really makes your skin shine. Also, tangerine oil has a very unique quality of being able to help absorb the nutrients it needs while blocking out the toxins. So in use with another ingredient that provides nutrients, the skin will absorb 100% instead of like 75% of its food. Examples of common ingredients that are considered “skin food” are Shea Butter (full or nutrients to soothe and firm skin) and Chamomile oil ( a natural anti inflammatory). Any of the above ingredients used in a daily facial cleanser will help in cleaning your face up; all three in the same facial cleanser, you will be floored by the results.

Second, after application of the facial cleanser, it is moisturizer time.  This is important because if no moisturizer is used, the hydrating qualities of the facial cleanser or just simply the shower water will be lost within the hour. Moisturizers are known to as like barriers against water escaping your body, leaving your skin smooth and healthy. For the best moisturizer, check out the same ingredients a facial cleanser. The only exception will be that you will not be focusing on the antiseptic qualities like a facial cleanser, you will be focusing on the hydrating, moisturizing qualities of the ingredient. For you Shea Butter should be your number one ingredient. When applied to skin, Shea Butter is known to melt at body temperature leaving you with no greasy residue. This also means that it is sucked into your skin at a rapid rate, working to treat your dry itchy skin almost immediately. Shea butter also has natural protective properties so it does exactly what a moisturizer should do, keep the moisture in. Chamomile Oil in combination with Shea makes one of the best combinations in skin care.

So we have cleanse and then moisturize. Seems simple enough but you would be surprised at how many people do not do this. They either do not use a facial cleanser, they do not use a moisturizer, or they say to heck with them both. You got to keep trying until you find that perfect cleanser or moisturizer and have the routine down pat. I promise you that if you just do at least the above to steps, you will notice a great improvement in your skin.

It widely known that people need to drink eight to ten glasses of water per day in order to get your complexion a dewy glow. Many people still ask the question though wether this is true or not.

Every system in the body needs water to function, and the skin is no exception; however, when it comes to dry skin, it’s not how much water you drink that’s important, it’s how well your skin retains moisture. Read the rest of this entry »

Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty in professional medical language, is a cosmetic procedure during which excess fat and skin along with the muscle is removed from the upper and lower eyelids. Dropping upper eyelids and puffy bags under your eyes can make you look older than you really are. The effects are due to the aging process and are caused by excess fat and skin around your eyes.

You must have noticed how popular organic products have become these days. When anything is labeled as organic it simply means that no chemicals were used during the growth/cultivation of this product. The belief here is that organic products are more healthy and less harmful to our bodies. Read the rest of this entry »
