Top Skin Care Tips
The skin contains many different cells and structures and it constantly changes as layers are shed and replaced by other layers.
Skin varies in thickness throughout the body and different people have different layers of thickness.

Know more about the skin layers
This article provides top skin care tips, including tips for healthy skin, tips for facial skin problems and anti ageing tips. Good skin care is important, as your skin has many functions within your body. Two of the important things your skin does is it provides a protective barrier and helps with sensory perception.
Skin Anatomy
The skin contains many different cells and structures and it constantly changes as layers are shed and replaced by other layers. Skin varies in thickness throughout the body and different people have different layers of thickness. There are three layers of skin, the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the outer layer of skin. The top layer of the epidermis (stratum corneum) has dead skin cells which shed approximately every two weeks. The dermis contains three types of tissue (collagen, elastic tissue and reticular fibers). The subcutaneous tissue is a layer of fat and connective tissue.
SKIN TYPES
There are four skin types. Different skin types may need different approaches to achieve healthy skin. It is important to use the appropriate skin care tips for each skin type.
Normal skin has the proper balance between oil and moisture, so that it is not greasy or dry. It looks clear, supple and healthy.
.Normal skin still needs good skin care, but requires less treatment than other skin types.
.Dry skin cannot retain moisture as well as normal skin. It may flake and it is prone to wrinkles and lines. Important skin care tips for dry skin include the regular use of a good moisturizer.
.Oily skin has an over secretion of sebum. There is excess oil on the surface of the skin. Oily skin often develops spots and pimples. Important skin care tips for oily skin include regular and thorough cleansing.
.Combination skin is a combination of both oily and dry skin. The forehead, nose and chin may be oily, and the cheeks and other areas may be dry. Each area should be given the right skin care that is needed for that skin type.
Extreme Climate Skin Care Rules
Taking good care of your skin is always important, but it is particularly important when it is subject to extreme climatic conditions. Winter skin care and summer skin care may need to be different from the care you give your skin during
milder months.

Taking good care of your skin is always important, but it is particularly important when it is subject to extreme climatic conditions.
Winter skin care and summer skin care may need to be different from the care you give your skin during milder months.
Cold and windy weather can produce winter dry skin. The skin may lose its moisture and be more prone to flakiness and itchiness. Hot and sunny weather can cause sun damaged skin. The skin may become irritated or red. Special care needs to be given to keep your skin looking healthy and free of problems during these extreme climate times.
UV Rays and Skin Damage
When the skin is directly exposed to the sun, it soaks in UV rays. We all know that UV rays can cause skin cancer. They can also prematurely age the skin and cause sun damaged skin.
When the skin receives a lot of exposure to the sun, it may become sun burnt. The skin becomes red and painful and then begins to peel. It is unsightly and can be itchy when the peeling occurs. Severe sunburn may cause swelling and blisters. Sunburn also increases the risk of sun cancer.
Even when the skin does not become sun burnt, it can still be damaged from the sun.
Here arePremature ageing, including wrinkles.
Damage to the skin's collagen.
Damage to the skin cells.
Negative effect on the immune system, which may cause skin problems.
Thinning and thickening of the skin, which can increase the likelihood of wrinkles.
Thinning of the blood vessels, which may lead to bruising.
The appearance of tiny blood vessels on the skin's surface.
Freckles, including large freckles such as age spots or liver spots.
White spots on the skin.
Skin bumps.
Trigger for skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis.
Dryness.
Redness.
Itchiness.
Sensitive skin reaction.
Sun can cause damage even when it is not very hot or sunny. It is advisable to wear adequate sun protection even during winter, particularly if you have dry skin, a skin disorder or sensitive skin.
Winter Skin Damage
Cold temperatures and windy conditions can be very damaging for the skin. The air in winter is usually drier than in other seasons, and this dry air can result in dry itchy skin. In winter, we are also more likely to use heaters and central heating. These by themselves can dry out the skin and the change from cold to hot weather can have a negative effect. People with dry skin, skin disorders or sensitive skin need to pay special attention to winter skin care during the cold months.
Here are some of the skin problems that can occur during winter.
.Dryness.
.Flakiness.
.Redness and irritation.
.Trigger for skin problems, like eczema and psoriasis.

It is important that people choose the right type of skin care for their skin, as this will reduce problem areas and prevent further skin damage from occurring. The right skin care can also help people treat any skin disorders they may have and limit or prevent skin reactions.
Different Methods of Skin Care
Cleansing, toning, moisturizing and exfoliation all serve different purposes and all of them are necessary to keep your skin looking its very best.
CLEANSING
Cleansing removes dirt, bacteria and dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. Cleansing skin care is perhaps one of the most important things we can do to help keep our skin looking healthy and beautiful. Without cleansing, our faces would develop a build-up of materials that would make our faces dirty, shiny and dull. The bacteria and dirt on our face would also increase the risk of bacterial infections, leading to skin problems like acne. Cleansing is particularly important for people with oily skin, who have excess oil on their face which attracts dirt and debris.
Cleansing should not just stop with the face. Body cleansing is also important. However, a different type of cleansing may be needed for the body, than the cleansing which is needed for the face.
TONING
Facial toning does a number of things to keep your skin looking healthy. Firstly, it removes traces of dirt and debris that are left after cleansing. It also restores the skin's natural pH balance.
Toning is very beneficial for the pores. It helps tighten them up so that there is less chance of infection and acne. A good toner can tone up the skin and make it appear smoother
MOISTURIZING
Moisturizing helps hydrate the skin and prevent it from further moisture loss. It can also provide a protective barrier to stop moisture from escaping from the skin. Water and many skin care products can strip the skin of moisture. Moisturizing lotion helps replace that loss moisture. It is very important for people with dry skin, who have less sebum (the skin's natural oil) on their skin.
Face masks can also have a moisturizing effect. Moisturizing face masks are very good for people with dry skin who may need some extra moisture and attention.
EXFOLIATING
Exfoliating removes the surface layer of skin, along with any dirt, debris and dead skin cells. It provides a more thorough clean than cleansing. Removing the top layer of skin helps the new healthy skin to appear.
Skin Tanning Precautions You Cannot Ignore
For a long time, having tanned skin was seen as being unattractive. Ironically, now that we know the dangers of skin cancer, many people find having a skin tan desirable. This has promoted the rise of the sunless skin tanning product - products that are meant to tan the skin without any dangers. This article

What are the risks involved in skin tanning?
For a long time, having tanned skin was seen as being unattractive. Ironically, now that we know the dangers of skin cancer, many people find having a skin tan desirable. This has promoted the rise of the sunless skin tanning product - products that are meant to tan the skin without any dangers. However, even these sunless skin tanning products can be dangerous in some cases.
Different Methods People Use to Tan Their Skin
The traditional method of skin tanning is by sun bathing. This was popular in the 1970s, when the skin tan became fashionable, but the risks of skin cancer were not yet widely known. Nowadays, many people choose not to directly expose their skin to UV rays. However, sun bathing is still practiced by those who do not care about the dangers or who use a sunscreen lotion with minimal coverage (or low SPF). These sunscreen lotions claim to block out some of the sun's rays, while allowing the person to get a tan.
Sunless bronzers come in the form of tanning lotions, creams or powders. They are applied to the skin for the appearance of a temporary tan. The bronzers are removed when the skin is washed.
Spray tanning booths are becoming a popular way for people to receive a skin tan. A tan is applied to the skin by means of an air compressor or airbrush.
Tanning accelerators are either lotions or pills that contain tyrosine. The tyrosine is meant to increase the formation of melanin, which accelerates the tanning process.
Tanning pills contain cathanxanthin. The canthaxatin changes the color of the skin.
Tanning beds (also known as tanning lamps) expose the body to UV rays, without the person needing to go out into direct sunlight. As this method still exposes the skin to UV rays, tanning beds can be just as dangerous as sun bathing.
Sunless tanning lotion and sunless tanning spray contain di hydroxyl acetone (DHA). DHA changes the color of the dead skin cells. The tan lasts for about one week.
Sun and Sunless Tanning Tips
Here are some tips and techniques for different skin tanning techniques.
SUNBATHING
The best advice for anyone who wishes to gain a skin tan by sunbathing is 'don't do it'. However, if you are determined to sunbathe, then keep the following tips in mind.
Read up on the dangers of skin cancer.
Learn about the effects of the sun rays on your skin. The sun's rays can increase the chance of premature ageing, speed up wrinkles, dry out your skin and become a trigger for certain skin disorders like eczema.
Have a number of short sunbathing sessions, instead of one long session.
Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
Wear sunglasses.
A sunscreen that provides minimal coverage is better than no sunscreen at all.
Avoid the sun during the hottest times of the day.
BRONZERS
Here are some tips for using bronzing products.
Exfoliate your skin first.
Do not apply a bronzer after a bath or shower.
Apply the bronzer in a circular motion.
SPRAY TANNING BOOTHS
Here are some tips for the use of tanning booths.
Exfoliate your skin first.
Moisturize your skin first.
Wear loose fitting clothing.
Wipe your skin with a towel after application.
Protect your eyes and mouth.
TANNING ACCELERATORS AND PILLS
There is no evidence to suggest that tanning accelerators or pills actually work. A lot of people are convinced the possible dangers far outweigh any benefits. Pills, particularly, are considered one of the worst ways in which to get a sun tan. Before taking any pills or accelerators, consider the following tips.
Consult your doctor on whether the products will have any negative effect on medication you are taking.
Find out any relevant information about the product you wish to take.
Ask for a recommendation. Do not choose the cheapest product, as it is may have no effect.
Be careful in the sun and protect your skin from UV rays.
TANNING LOTIONS
Here are some tips for using a sunless tanning lotion.
Ask your store attendant for the best sunless tanning lotion. Cheap versions may cause your skin to go yellow.
Do a skin patch test before applying the lotion to your entire body.
Exfoliate before using the lotion.
Moisturize your skin.
Wear the same thing every time you use the lotion - preferably something dark so that stains will not show.
TANNING BEDS OR LAMPS
Here are some tips for using tanning beds or lamps.
Protect your eyes and your lips.
Check with your doctor about the effect of UV light on any medication.
Moisturize your skin before and after the session.
Gradually expose the areas that have been covered up.
Don't over do it and watch the time

Tips for Sensitive Skin Care
Sensitive skin care is more than just choosing the right sensitive skin care product. Sensitive skin has a low tolerance level to certain products or environmental conditions. People with sensitive skin may react quickly to chemicals, heat or wind by developing red, blotchy and irritated skin.

Sensitive skin care is more than just choosing the right sensitive skin care product. To provide the best sensitive skin care, you need an overall approach to providing the best possible care.
Sensitive skin has a low tolerance level to certain products or environmental conditions. People with sensitive skin may react quickly to chemicals, heat or wind by developing red, blotchy and irritated skin. Different people have different levels of skin sensitivity. Some people may react to a product, while for others it produces no effect.
Similarly, some people may have a very severe reaction, while others only have a mild reaction.
Problems Faced by People with Sensitive Skin
People with sensitive skin face many problems. The redness, irritation and blotchiness associated with sensitive skin can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. It can be annoying having to avoid everything that may cause sensitive skin to flare up. Providing the right sensitive skin care can be particularly difficult, as many skin products will have a negative effect.
Dealing with Sensitive Skin
NATURAL METHODS
Natural skin care can be an effective way of treating sensitive skin. Natural products are less likely to trigger the reaction that other products may have on sensitive skin. Here are some of the best natural ways to treat sensitive skin.
Food Intake and Hydration
Diet can play a big part in sensitive skin break outs. A healthy diet (containing plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables) will help skin look healthy. People with sensitive skin should pay attention to their diet and take note if any foods seem to trigger a sensitive skin reaction. Even some healthy foods may cause a reaction in some people, so do not discount these when you look at possible triggers. Hot and spicy foods are particularly likely to cause a negative effect.
People with healthy skin should also drink lots of water, which will help keep their skin hydrated. When skin is adequately hydrated, it is healthier and better able to fight off skin irritations.
Herbal Remedies
Herbal remedies are very good for sensitive skin, because they are free from the harsh chemicals that can cause skin problems. Generally, products that contain natural ingredients will be better for your skin and less likely to cause a sensitive skin reaction. Try the following remedies for some special sensitive skin care.
Use almond or jojoba oil to cleanse your face.
.Comfrey steeped in water can make a good toner.
.Make a facial exfoliate by mixing grapefruit with oatmeal.
.Make a face mask out of fruit.
.Cucumber and yoghurt also makes a good face mask for sensitive skin.
.Licorice is a good product for sensitive skin. Look for skin care products that contain licorice.
.Green tea has anti-inflammatory properties, which may help prevent sensitive skin reactions.
.Aloe Vera can soothe skin that is red, irritated and blotchy. Apply directly to the skin.
Even when using natural products, people with sensitive skin need to be careful. As some sensitive skin reactions are caused by allergies, even organic products may cause an adverse reaction in someone. Check every product on a small area of your skin first, and stop using a product if it seems to be triggering the symptoms associated with sensitive skin.
DRY SKIN
Effective Tips for Caring for Dry Skin
Dry skin (or xerosis) has a low level of sebum, which is the skin's natural lubricant. As it does not have enough sebum, it dries out easily and is unable to retain the right amount of moisture needed for healthy skin.

Dry skin care is important as damaged and dry skin needs to receive the proper treatment. Dry skin lotions can help, but there are lots of other things people can do to minimize dry skin and the damage that it does. Here are some effective tips for caring for dry skin.
What Is Dry Skin and How Is It Caused?
Dry skin (or xerosis) has a low level of sebum, which is the skin's natural lubricant. As it does not have enough sebum, it dries out easily and is unable to retain the right amount of moisture needed for healthy skin.
A number of factors may cause dry skin. It is more common in winter when the cold outside and the heat inside contribute in drying up the skin. It can also be caused by hot water or harsh soaps. Poor diet or smoking can also cause or aggravate the problem. Dry skin may also be a symptom of other conditions, including dermatitis, eczema, ichthyoids, psoriasis, an under active thyroid and diabetes. Dry skin becomes more common as people age.
Problems Faced by People with Dry Skin
People with dry skin may find their skin cracks and peels or becomes flaky. Dry skin may look parched and feel tight after washing. It can also become red, irritated and inflamed. Dry itchy skin is a common problem for people with dry skin. In extreme cases, there may be deep fissures that bleed.
Dry skin ages more quickly than other types of skin. Wrinkles and fine lines can often become a problem.
Techniques for Dealing with Dry Skin
There are a number of things you can do for effective dry skin care. Baths and showers should be taken in warm, instead of hot, water, and should be kept as short as possible. Soap should be used sparingly. Mild cleansers and pure soaps are better. When drying your skin, use patting motions and avoid rubbing the skin too much. Try massaging your skin to increase the flow of natural oils.
Because cold and heat exacerbate the problems of dry skin, people with dry skin should protect their face and skin when going out into the wind or sun, and they should always wear a sunscreen.
Exercise, a good diet and enough sleep will all help keep your skin healthy.
NATURAL TECHNIQUES
Instead of using a commercial cleanser, use a vegetable oil like olive oil or almond oil.
Aloe Vera is very good for dry skin and it has healing and soothing properties.
Calendula and comfrey soften the skin. They may be used in a facial sauna.
Cold compresses can help alleviate dry itchy skin. Add a few drops of essential oil.
Milk baths are very effective in the treatment of dry skin on the body. Add powdered milk and almond oil to a warm (not hot) bath.
Herbal teas like chamomile, dandelion, peppermint, borage, fennel, coltsfoot or calendula help improve the skin.
A good home remedy for dry skin is to make your own beauty mask. Combine an egg, honey, olive oil and rosewater. Apply onto your skin and leave it there for fifteen minutes before washing off.
Another home remedy for dry skin is to mash some avocado and apply onto your face. Mashed banana also works well.
