Beauty tips;Women have thinner skin than men because
testosterone - the dominant male hormone-
caused male skin to be thicker. In addition,
women's oil glands secrete slightly less than
men's; therefore, women are more likely to
experience dry skin.
Dry skin tends to be dull-looking, even scaly
and flaky, and readily develops wrinkles and
fine lines. Sometimes it might be primarily a
genetic condition but it may be caused or
aggravated by a poor diet and by environmental
factors such as exposure to sun, wind, cold,
chemicals or cosmetics, or excessive bathing
with harsh soaps, nutritional deficiencies of
vitamin A and B vitamins. Most people's skin
tends to become thinner and drier as they get
older.
Here's the do's and don'ts rules for dry skin.
Don't wash your face with harsh soaps ever.
Don't use grainy cleansing products or buffing
pads. Don't forget to apply an SPF 15 sunscreen
to your face, neck, and chest everyday.
Dry skin needs a gentle cleanser. There are
plenty to try: There are superatted soaps-
often called beauty bars - that contain emollients
such as olive oil or lanolin, and there are milky
liquid cleanser and tissue off cleansing creams.
In the morning just splash your face with water.
In the evening you can use the superfatted clean-
sing bar. The drier your skin, the more hydrating
ingredients your moisturizer should could contain.
Pick a product formulated with glycerin hyalu-
ronic acid, or dimethicone. These ingredients
slow down moisture loss during the day, pre-
venting further dehydration, Or just slather your
face with olive oil ( of course avoid this treatment
if you're prone to acne). Use olive oil as a before
bed treatment.
Cocoa butter is a good skin cream and is not
expensive, It also helps reduce skin wrinkling.
Keep it in the refrigerator after opening.
Once a week, use a facial mask , use one
teaspoon green clay powder -(available in the
health food store) and one teaspoon raw honey.'
Blend them together and apply the mixture to
your face, avoiding the eye area. Leave it on
for 15 minutes, then rinse well with lukewarm
water. While your skin is still damp, apply,
your liquid moisturizer. The facial mask will
clarify the skin and remove dull, dry surface
skin cells.
A group of acids known as alpha-hydroxy
acids, applied topically. help to stimulate
production of these naturally occurring subs-
tance. Alpha-hydroxy acids, also encourage
formation of new skin cells. These acids occur
naturally in grapes, apples, milk, sugar cane,
citrus fruits, tomatoes and blackberries. Of
the alpha-hydroxy acids, the lactic acids
appears to be the best for improving moistu-
riztion, while glycolic acid is more effective
at sloughing off dead skin cells and promoting
cell renewal.
Milk is packed with lactic acid, the most effec-
tive alpha hydroxies of them all as it could add'
glow to your skin. Lemon juice or calamansi
juice helps boost collagen and elastin as they
contain vitamin C and also helps strengthen
the capillaries that feed the skin. You can
combine milk with either calamansi juice
or lemon juice and apply to your face and neck
and chest and same procedure with the facial
mask.
Collagen cream- is good for a very dry skin. A
nourishing cream that can restore a healthy
tone to damaged skin.
Elastin- Helps prevent and smooth wrinkles.
Eat a balanced diet that includes vegetables,
fruits, grains, seeds and nuts. Eat quality pro-
tein from vegetables like soybeans, tofu, beans
and lentils. Increase your intake of raw foods.
Eat foods high in sulfur, which helpsto keep
the skin smooth and youthful. Good sources
include garlic, onions, eggs, and asparagus.
Consume plenty of yellow and orange vegetables.
These are high in beta carotene, a precursor of
vitamin A.
Use oil-based foundations and cream or cream-
powder blushers- the oil they contain will help
soften fine lines and wrinkles.
