Skin Care Tips and Advice

March 2009

Skin disorders or skin problems have varying effects and can sometimes be life threatening such as skin cancer, which can spread to other parts of the body.  Another is severe skin trauma like burns. 

The most common skin problem is acne.  It is a skin condition characterized by inflammation of the pores and surrounding skin.  It can take many forms, including blackheads (enlarged dark pores), papules (red bumps), pustules (pus bumps) and severe cases are referred to as cystic acne.

Acne encounters start during teenage years and become widespread during adolescence but thankfully, acne becomes rare after age 50.  But no matter when it appears, it is important to treat it properly.  Inflamed lesions can lead to permanent scarring.  This is especially true of cysts.

There are several reasons why acne surfaces.  It could be intake of certain oral contraceptives with androgen-like substance.  Some medications can give you pimples too such as drugs with corticosteroids ingredients for inflammatory conditions and lithium used to treat bipolar disease or psychiatric disorder.  Also anabolic steroids used by body builders can cause pimple breakouts.  Ingredients in cosmetics and skin care products can cause pimples or acne breakouts too.  Food with high percentage of oil and grease are also culprits as well as certain chemicals.  Non observance of proper hygiene is also a reason for pimple breakouts.  Heat and humidity due to increased perspiration thus clogging the pores could be a cause to have pimple breakouts. Insufficient sleep and stress also are factors to acne appearance.  Sometimes the tendency toward acne runs in families or genetics.

But there are different treatments for acne available in the market and one of the most popular and trusted brand is Maxi-Peel.  It offers a wide array of skin treatments and maintenance to ensure skin gets the best remedy to keep it smooth and clear all the time and these are the following:

• Maxi-Peel Exfoliant #3 (Severe skin problem), #2 (moderate skin problem, #1 (mild skin problem)
• Maxi-Peel Exfoliant Cream #3 (Advanced), #2 (Moderate), #1 (Mild)
• Maxi-Peel Soap
• Maxi-Peel Concealing Cream
• Maxi-Peel Moisturizing Cream
• Maxi-Peel Sunblock Cream
• Maxi-Peel Exfoliant Neck and Body Lotion
• Maxi-Peel Facial Cleanser

When your face breaks out, don’t scrub it when washing your face.  Do not pick and squeeze blemishes as this may cause long term pimple marks.  Eat fresh fruits, take a minimum of 8 glasses of water daily, observe proper diet with lots of vegetables, have a regular exercise and get enough sleep.

Achieving a beautiful skin is possible but there should be a conscious effort on the things to avoid and things to observe in order to have that “kutis artista” skin.
