Skin Care

In this page you will know:

Skin is the cover of our body which acts as guard for our inner organs, muscles, bones and other internal parts. It acts as our primary defense system against the dangerous pathogens around us. It also helps us to regulate body temperature and resist washing out of water and other nutrients from our body.

Why should you take care of your Skin?

You should take care of your skin for the following reasons:

  • Preventing Skin from the harmful surrounding environment: Skin continuously interacts with the surrounding environment. Most of the times this environment is not at all suitable for your skin with dirt and other unhygienic particles. This will definitely cause some damages to your skin whether you realize or not. A proper skin care will prevent your skin from these damages.
  • Slowing down the aging effects: As we grow older our skin's external appearance get changed. Slight lines or folds get developed on our skin. These are called wrinkles. This is a natural aging effect. Taking care of your skin will slow down the process of developing wrinkles.
  • Preventing pimples: Pimples are small and hard imflamed spots on our skin. Like other cells our skin cells have a certain period of life. Our skin cells are renewed continuously. If the dead skin cells are not removed then they get mixed up with the oil secreted by our skin and eventually they form pimples. But, if you clean your face properly and regularly then dead skin cells are washed out and for most of the us only this can prevent the forming of pimples.
  • Preventing Eczema and Psoriasis: Proper skin care will reduce the chance of developing Eczema and other skin problems like Psoriasis.
  • Preventing from the harmful effects of sunlight: Sunlight helps our body to produce "Vitamin D" for our body. The ultraviolet ray of sunlight is bad for our skin and overexposure to it may lead you to skin cancer. Proper skin care can prevent you from the harmful effects of sunlight.
  • Preventing from harmful pathogenic organisms: If we don't take care of our skin and not clean it properly then it becomes a good place for the harmful pathogenic organisms.Proper skin care also reduces the development of harmful pathogenic organisms.
  • Preventing Infection: If you want to prevent skin infections then your primary weapon should be regular and proper skin care.
  • Ensuring moisture for dry skin: Dry skin are rough in nature and low in moisture. Good skin care will ensure proper moisture for the dry skin to prevent it from being very rough.

Types of Skin

If you want to take care of your skin then it is really very very important to know the type of your skin. Because, skin care techniques will differ according to the type of your skins. Keep in mind that, there are some differences between male skins and female skins. For having higher levels of collagen and elastin levels men's skins are almost 20% thicker than the female skins. It is also generally oily type, rich in blood supply and more prone to sweating.

All skins can be classified in the following categories:

  • Oily: These types of skins are more likely to be greasy. Oily skin catches more dirts than any other skin.
  • Dry: These types of skins contain less moisture and are more likely to be rough. Dry skins ages faster than the oily and normal skin.
  • Normal: Normal skins are neither greasy nor dry. They have the balance of moisture and oiliness.
  • Sensitive: Sensitive skins are more reactive to the surrounding environment than the above skin types. They need a special attention to cope up with temperature and dirt of the environment.

Identifying dry and oily type skins are easier. However, if it is tough for you to identify your skin type then you should consult a skin specialist to identify your skin type.

  • If you have dry skin then, be habituated to use moisturizing creams or lotions regularly in day and also at night.
  • If you have oily skin, then ensure thorough cleaning of your skin specially your face skin.
  • If you have sensitive skin then, be careful of using perfumes, creams or lotions. Men should be careful about their shaving creams and after shave lotions. Try to get some advice from a skin specialist if you are not sure about what to do.
  • Try to avoid high exposure to the sun rays. Use sunscreen lotions if you are going to have an exposure to the sun rays.And, if you are a fan of tanning then use lotions to protect your skin every time you tan.
  • If you have enough time then try to use after bath lotions. Because, after taking showers some essential oils are washed away from our skins and these lotions will help you to maintain natural moist on your skin after the shower.
