The skin is an introduction to the outside world. But often it is very difficult to avoid leaving spots or acne.

One of the main causes of the emergence of pimples and acne on the skin is due to excess production of progesterone.

The days before the menstrual period are more likely to leave these small grains, since the increase of progesterone causes increased accumulation of fat, sebaceous glands become blocked.

Hormonal imbalances. Hormones are suffering at every moment unstable low altitudes.

These changes are not old, that is, although they are more common among teenagers, no one gets rid of them, or at forty-much less in adolescence.

Poor feeding. Not all foods are equal and everyone is so harsh to the skin such as chocolate, pasta, sausages or spicy food. If you want to avoid those pesky blackheads and pimples, forget about them.
Hygiene.

Remember that acne is a matter of fat accumulation in the skin and fat that if our skin is added to the outer fat (pollution, dirt), the result can be disastrous. Therefore, it is advisable to wash your face as often as possible.

There is no foolproof treatment for acne, although many specific creams and ointments can help, but before choosing randomly is advisable to talk with your doctor.

A person can have 70 years but one body and one’s own cells 50, or vice versa. The first is the chronological age, that in the DNI and is celebrated with cakes and candles.

The second is the biological age and is marked by cellular aging. Now a group of scientists has just identified for the first time, some genetic variants associated with the latter age of humans, a discovery that opens new avenues to investigate some age-related diseases. The researchers, led by Professor Nilesh Samani, Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Leicester (UK) carried out an analysis of more than 500,000 genetic variations in the human genome in two European cohorts with 2,917 participants and then verified their findings in 9,492 other participants.

What they have discovered, it is said in the journal Nature Genetics, are some variants, all based around the same gene, the third-that make people who carry them have shorter telomeres. Telomeres are part of the chromosomes and its length is considered a marker of biological age. Shorter, more ‘old’ do to our body.

According to the authors, the telomeres are strong genetic determination, between 40% and 80% – and although we are all born with a certain length of these structures, then is changing as a birthday, and cells are dividing. “What we have done is identify a genetic variant that telomeres shorten and make them biologically older” Samani said.

In the past we have given advice on how to soothe the skin by natural means, and we talked about the importance of certain habits such as eating fresh food and varied, applied natural masks, exfoliate the skin to help cell regeneration and cleaning habits have and the good rest, as the latter area to help the skin to restore and regenerate.

Sometimes proper diet (not eating cow’s milk and refined sugar among the most important tips to heal the skin), combined with healthy habits intelligent are full of patience, are sufficient to largely restore the health of the dermis. However, if set all these efforts with the act of entering ourselves to eradicating the root causes major upset of the dermis, we get a really successful and permanent cure.

Sunlight produces infrared (heat), visible light (colors), ultraviolet (UVA, UVB) that cause tanning and cellular changes that predispose to cancer. This radiation is greatest between 10 am and 4 pm. At this time the level of UV radiation is larger, more aggressive and carcinogenic.

Taking the Sun

A tan is a defense mechanism of the skin as it acts in a UV filter. Sun exposure in normal skin should be performed 10 minutes of exposure increasing every day since the first one not to exceed 15 minutes, avoiding the midday hours. At 10 days the skin will be ready to withstand the sun without any problems other than accumulation of solar radiation (important for preventing skin cancer). Read the rest of this entry »

The investigation found that cigarette smoke was a factor that increased the skin lesions in areas like the inside top or bottom of the buttocks. Read the rest of this entry »

It caused a rash after exposure to light. It is rare, and usually appears in young adults. The initial symptom is pruritus, followed by hives located in the irradiated area to begin within minutes of exposure and persist for several hours and left without leaving residual lesions.

Diagnosis

The history is very important: age of onset, family history of photosensitivity, with seasonal symptoms, duration of exposure required, latency between exposure and onset of clinical description of the rash and its distribution, time of resolution if have minimal exposure, sunscreen use, drugs that are taken, local applications of cosmetic products, occupational exposure (welding arcs, lasers, UV lamps, industries, etc …) and others.

Treatment

* The best treatment is prevention, which in this case is to remain under cover, pointing out that UVA rays can penetrate the glass (generally do not filter out wavelengths> 320 nm) and that the clouds are not a protective factor solar. Exanthems by the Sun

* In addition, direct exposure to the sun at sunset is less dangerous than in the light of a cloudy afternoon. The white light of fluorescent lights can cause problems only in highly sensitive patients, depending on their proximity. Read the rest of this entry »
