Many people struggle facial skin care in the right way. With skin facial care products on the market a wide range of today can be very confusing to know what is right and wrong. If you are the ones who care about what is the best skin care you want, here are your guidelines, part of the young skin. Remember, know your skin type is the first step in the right face care. The skin depends only on your skin type. On oily skin, neutral or mixed, dry, sun damaged and sensitive.

There are four basic steps of skin care. The first step is to clean. It is important to find a good cleanser for your skin type. Away from the skin of dry soap. Avoid excessive cleaning. Wash your face at night is good. The next morning with warm water. Avoid using hot water or cold water on the face, because it can break capillaries. The best way to wash your face, loss of soil clogging the pores as much as possible with hot water. Use only a pea-sized detergent, then rinse with hot water or cold water. It is important to remove makeup before going to sleep with the right makeup.

The second step is exfoliation. Many people forget to take a week exfoliating regimen skin care. However, the right to exfoliate the skin with the appearance of so many differences. The reason seems to look like a young man shaving effect of the skin. Daily shaving to help with exfoliation. Chemical peels, dermabrasion, and retinoic acid exfoliate the skin in different ways. Scrub helps remove dead skin cells, the top, but it can also disrupt your skin. Exfoliating once a week is the best skin radiant. It is important to use a soft brush of small particles. Low shrubs with large particles can break and damage your skin.

You can use retinoic acid, which helps remove dead skin cells and collagen production of the skin. It is structural fibers of the skin with age, collagen degradation, and produce a large number of pores and fine lines. Retinoic acid is said to be a miracle to save his skin. On the use of toner? Some people say that the toner is required, some people say otherwise. Toning helps remove makeup and dirt and oil. You can count on this, so it’s really you, if you still want to use a good cleanser toner.

The third step in facial care is moisturizing. No matter what type of skin you have, to moisturize the skin care of each party. Moisture helps to seal moisture in the skin, even if you have oily skin types, which remains the best hydration.

The fourth step is to use sunscreen as part of facial care. Applying sunscreen is necessary, because there are wrinkles sun damage is the best resource. If it’s winter or summer, observation and sunscreen.

When looking for that special anti-aging skin care, there are tons of products on the market to choose from. This is because manufacturers of these products know that many people are seeking solutions to problems of skin care. With that said, they also know that most people use almost anything to see the results. Take the cosmetic surgery industry, for example, spent billions of dollars in R & D and procedures each year.

And to be honest, the market for anti-aging skin care is the same way, with many millions of products and their development.

But unfortunately, the more money spent on marketing these products to end users. For most products, marketing objectives and aggressive ethical to exploit the desire of people to look younger and better. But do not worry, there are some products that really cares about their products and results with them.

Here are some tips to make sure you get your hands on a product of skin care a great fight against aging:

Tip # 1

Not buy a product of skin care that contain collagen in said formula. You can tell by reading the label. Now you may ask “But wait, collagen is not good for your skin?”

Collagen is very good for the skin, it is actually the most important element that keeps our skin soft and young. And when our skin starts to age, bags and wrinkles, because the collagen in our skin breaks.

However, because collagen molecules are quite large, it is impossible for them to penetrate into the pores of the skin when applied as a cream. This product manufacturers is the use of public misunderstanding skin care.

So what kind of product do you see? The aging of the skin effective anti care product contains ingredients that help the body produce more collagen. This is the right way to reduce the amount of collagen in the skin to grow, and let someone else tell you!

Tip # 2

Stay away from the products of skin care containing fragrance. I say this because odors are composed of toxic substances that can harm the long term. The most effective products used in treating aging skin care, even smells bad, it’s just that many product developers add a scent to your product, so that people feel good when they use it. I do not know about you but when I use products for skin care, I just want the results I feel free to use!

And if you think about it, do not use other products like perfume and body spray to smell good? And instead of using the cream all over his body, only makes a few sprays of perfume or body spray trap.

Tip # 3

I quickly said that sales of skin care before. I will explain why some products are ineffective and costly.

It is very hard to ensure that the products of skin care can be found on television or in magazines actually work before buying. That is why more money is spent by manufacturers of advertising and marketing skin care than the product itself.

Often companies will provide testimonials from well known celebrities and beautiful models showing their perfect skin to give, knowing that it is for people to buy. The same applies to the packaging or products in a glass tube and see the beautiful fantasy, people will buy because it looks attractive.

All these tactics cost a lot of money by the manufacturer and the price or the inefficiency of the sample products. Even strive to choose the most effective product with only the best to have a market!

Take the example Proactiv acne cream. They have many celebrities in their ads, such as Jessica Simpson. How much do you pay her a spokesperson for their product in their ads?

Enter your first payment to make the announcement and ongoing royalties, they can get, it is likely to receive payment of millions of dollars! And what does it mean to you? That means you have to pay the additional price markup to help pay for her to convince you to buy. That’s why I think it is better to use the anti aging skin products (or products of vanity) developed by small and unknown companies. You can put more money into the production of a large
product, while decreasing costs. As a researcher of skin care products, I found this to be true.

To wrap it all up, so be sure to do the following in the search for anti-aging skin care:

Look for products that contain substances that produce collagen, rather than the products actually contain collagen.
Stay away from products with fragrances, which contain toxic substances that cause adverse health effects.
Prevent known and large companies that use a lot of money to advertise their products, because most likely will not spend much on developing your product.

Taking vitamins and minerals for the skin is the best way to nurture it properly if you do not want to deteriorate and may appear dry, and so on.

Plant precursors of vitamin A for skin
This is probably the most vitamin helps maintain healthy skin and help the tan as it encourages the development of pigment in the skin. Beta-carotene or vitamin A precursors do not accumulate, ie, the body absorbs only the amount it needs and discards the rest. Because plant sources have pro-vitamin A pumpkin, citrus, carrots, tomatoes, apricots, carrots, spinach, sea vegetables, egg yolk, alga spirulina and alfalfa sprouts.

Vitamin C and Collagen for skin
Vitamin C is very necessary for healthy skin, activate their defenses and provide resistance to aggression, particularly intense in summer, and is involved in the synthesis of collagen, a protein that forms the skin tissue and gives support. White cabbage raw in salads, fresh parsley, pepper oil, kiwi, strawberries and citrus fruits are excellent sources of vitamin C.

Vitamin E and selenium for the skin
Vitamin E is an antioxidant vitamin for excellence protects and helps improve cellular tissue, effectively counteracts aging, helps improve blood circulation, a key factor for skin health. The alpha-tocopherol or Vitamin E is found primarily in vegetable oils in the germ and whole grains. Vitamin E, selenium and vitamin A act together as a group of old friends, therefore it is important to perform a very varied diet that ensures the presence of antioxidant vitamins all at once.

Melasma is a disease that occurs when the skin produces melanin in a disorderly way, and this causes the appearance of facial darkening

- Tretinoin cream: this type of ointments are applied directly on the skin, is expected to bleach the whole area (only recommended in some cases, melasma), your doctor may also “fortify” the cream by adding specific components to their action more efficient.

- Mandelic acid: This substance is a derivative of almonds which showed very satisfactory results in the treatment of melasma (this treatment is prescribed for people sensitive to more aggressive methods).

Vitiligo is a skin disease that destroys the melanocytes, these are the pigment cells that will give a tone to our skin (which causes white patches in different parts of the body). The definitive cure for vitiligo is not known yet, but there are some traeatments that can help.

The causes of vitiligo are largely hereditary, but research continues to explore other factors that may cause the development of the disease.

Due to the nature and origins of the vitiligo disease treatments that exist today are addressed in terms of development time of illness, severity of symptoms and type of treatment the patient wants to continue.

We can divide the treatments for vitiligo in 3 major fields.

Medical treatments
- Creams: are ointments to be applied directly to the skin, which usually contains steroids to strengthen the pigment .- Drugs: These are taken orally as tablets or capsules (as directed by your doctor.)
- PUVA: this is a therapy that involves taking combination drug therapy with application of ultraviolet (UVA).

Surgical treatments:
- Skin grafts: tissue is removed surgically from healthy areas of the patient to be transplanted to the sectors concerned (when the disease is not very widespread).
- Tattoos: this technique will be used to cover areas where the skin pigment is gone, usually in very mild disease.

Other treatments:
- Using Filters and sunscreens to avoid suffering which changes color and are more noticeable stains.
- Cosmetics: here come all those non-invasive procedures and are not permanent and makeup.

There is currently no treatment that can provide a safe cure for vitiligo, but if you can offer the patient a better quality of life. Are still investigating the causes, symptoms, reactions and solutions for definitive treatment.

The dermatosis is a skin disease that manifests itself in a very general way as a persistent inflammation of allergic origin, and whose origin may be hereditary or genetic. There are several treatments for skin diseases, and from the point of view of natural medicine for the skin are a few of them.

The dermatosis can occur in different parts of the body depending on the age of the person concerned, as it has come to know that there are three main stages to this disease can attack: the birth, the child and finally adulthood.

The cause of doctor’s visit is mainly to improve aesthetics. However, sometimes the best treatment is not any treatment.

General: Your doctor will explain about its condition and what to expect from the proposed treatment. The white areas affected by vitiligo have no natural protection against the sun and they can very easily be burned by sunlight, so it is recommended to use sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 15 in all areas affected discovered.

Topical treatment. To the affected skin based drugs (natural or synthetic psoralens) is the most effective. Also the use of cosmetic creams, artificial can be a relief to patient dissatisfaction with their spots.

Systemic treatment. Psoralens also be used orally in cases of extensive vitiligo, but please keep in mind that its action is not limited only to skin pigment but also affect normal skin.

There have tried other vitiligo treatments such as corticosteroids, drugs to regulate the immune response and application of autografts tattoos with very inconsistent. Psychotherapy, even if superficial, is of great help.

Sometimes the doctor can also support the use of medications to reduce distress and anxiety that the patient feels about his condition.

Causes
No one knows the origin of vitiligo disease. Several theories have been formulated in this regard such as immunological factors (body’s defense mechanisms), which act against the melanocyte or prevent the formation of melanin. Sometimes you can find a history of significant emotional distress or a sudden emotional shock (accident, death in the family, sexual identity problems, among others.), So we think that vitiligo may be a cutaneous equivalent of anxiety or its consequences. Finally, there is also a hereditary factor involved, since between 20 and 30% of those affected have a family history of the same problem.

Events
The only known manifestation is the appearance of white spots on the skin. The patient gradually lose the color in the affected area, the depigmentation, usually first appears in their hands then slowly affect the face and other body regions. In advanced cases the affected individual has skin discoloration around the body, so it resembles a albino absence of pigment in the skin throughout the body, eyelashes, eyebrows and hair.
