Inflammation and Rosacea
Tweet Is it fair to assume, that since rosacea is a skin condition that causes the redness and irritation of the outer layer of skin on the face and chest, that rosacea is caused by the same thing as acne – inflammation? Inflammation is the condition of your skin when it has been compromised by either the foods you eat, or another irritant, such as the sun. That is probably why people with rosacea have to avoid the sun, as well as avoid other foods and products that may cause inflammation such as alcohol, sugar and spicy foods. Also,...
Lymphobiology Skin Treatments – What are They?
Tweet Catherine Atzen, a French skin care specialist that is world renowned for providing excellent skin care to burn victims, as well as people looking to smooth and firm and health skin, came up with a patented skin care ritual called “Lymphobiology”. What is Lymphobiology? The one of a kind skin care treatments use the same concept of lymphatic drainage, which is a massage technique used on the face and other areas of the body which promote healing skin (may be good for acne patients too), and mostly is known for promoting the firming and lifting of aging skin....
PMS (Period) Related Acne
Tweet Ok, so I’m a woman, I’m 31, and I still have horrible looking skin both during my periods and before them (in that fun little period of time called PMS – premenstrual syndrome). Right now, I’m due to get my period any day now, and my skin broke out with a few new pimples about two days ago. Today, not only do I have a few pimples but my skin is horribly colored. Of course, some of that could have to do with the awful flourescent lighting in the bathrooms here, but I’d be willing to bet my...
3rd Microderm Round
Tweet I just went for my third microdermabrasion appointment. My skin lady says she thinks my skin looks much better already and I have to agree.  Although I’ve been dealing with boatloads of stress lately, and I am noticing these small bumps on my chin, but oh well. I notice with each time I wish they would be a little more agressive though. I think they are so afraid that you’ll jump up, out of your chair and start screaming or something if they turn the pressure up too much, but I for one love the feeling. It may...
Yep, Stress Causes Acne
Tweet I am a living testament to the fact that stress and acne go hand in hand. My face is basically like a book, you can read exactly what’s going on with me on the inside by what my skin is doing. In other words, if you see an eruption of zits strategically placed throughout my face, you can assume that either someone is stressing me out, or I’m just stressing myself out. Take for example recently. I’ve recently been having a bit of a tough time at work, and it shows in all it’s glory on my face...
Be Careful of Diet Aids : They May Bring on a Break Out
Tweet Many of us are trying to get in shape for the summer time, and with getting in shape comes losing weight. Thousands of Americans turn to diet aids every year to help them gain “instant willpower” and lose that spare tire, or love handles, or just a few pounds here and there. I’m one of these people. I LOVE to diet. I’m not really overweight, but I’m also not rail thin. I’m 5′ 4″ and weigh about 130 right now, which is about ten more pounds than I’m comfortable with, but oh well I like to eat Anyways,...
Acne Home Remedies – Aspirin?
Tweet A couple of times, I’ve posted some fun acne home remedies for you to try, and my research today led to one that you may have heard of before – aspirin for acne treatment. Aspirin, they say, is almost exclusively composed of a very popular ingredient commonly used to treat acne topically – salicylic acid. While I am not a huge fan of the common over the counter ingredients of salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, because I think that a lot of the over the counter acne products containing these dry out your skin excessively, and even tend...
Possible New Promising Acne Drug?
Tweet Ever heard of Avugane? This topical treatment which is currently still in developmental phase, has been compared to the same effectiveness of topical retinoids, such as RetinA in the treatment of acne vulgaris. Therapy with the Avugane topical treatment improved both inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesions on it’s subjects. The test subjects were treated with Avugane a total of 12 weeks. The drawbacks noted on some patients were redness, dry patches, and notable irritation on treated patches of skin. No ETA on when this new acne drug will surface, but with FDA regulations, it may still be a...
Aveeno Calming Lotion for – Rosacea?
Tweet There’s a new, fairly cheap product out for calming facial redness by Aveeno. While it’s not directly advertised on the commercials as a “rosacea treatment”, the commercials do lead you to believe that this day and night calming cream can be used to treat rosacea and other facial redness issues. Aveeno products are a line of skin care that focuses on natural products, like oatmeal for exfoliation, or soy for increased skin brightness, and has gained some followers who want good skin care but for less. If you want to read reviews on other rosacea skin care products...
