Misconception
:
A lot of people are under
the misconception that they should only start focusing on anti aging skin care
when they reach to an age between “thirty” to “forty”. That belief is absolutely
wrong! The earlier you start taking care of your skin, the better! Whatever you
do at a young age will ultimately affect you in old age so taking care of your
skin as early as possible will ensure that you still have something to boast of
even when you're already a grandmother or grandfather.
Skin diseases:
Skin cancer:
All skin cancers could
be cured if they were discovered and brought to a doctor’s attention before they
had a chance to spread. Therefore, you should check your skin regularly. The
most common warning sign of skin cancer is a change on the skin
varicella-zoster virus:
Shingles and chickenpox
were once considered separate disorders. It is now known that they are both
caused by a single virus of the herpes family known as varicella-zoster
virus .After an attack of chickenpox, the
virus lies silent in the nerve tissue. Years later, the virus can reappear in
the form of shingles.Anyone who has had chickenpox can develop shingles. Early
signs of shingles include burning or shooting pain and tingling or itching,
generally on one side of the body or face
Rashes:
Rashes involve changes
in the color or texture of your skin. A simple rash is called dermatitis,
meaning inflammation of the skin also known as Skin lesion; Rubor; Skin rash and
Erythema.
How to protect skin from diseases:
Sunlight effect
:
Sunlight
is a major cause of the skin changes we think of as aging changes such as
wrinkles, dryness, and age spots. Your
skin does change with age. For example, you sweat less, leading to increased
dryness. As your skin ages, it becomes thinner and loses fat, so it looks less
plump and smooth. Underlying structures — veins and bones in particular — become
more prominent. Your skin can take longer to heal when injured.
Dry Skin and Itching:
As you
age, your skin produces less of the natural oil that helps it retain its
moisture. Many older people suffer from dry skin. The skin feels rough and scaly
and often is accompanied by a distressing, intense itchiness. Low humidity
caused by overheating during the winter and air conditioning during the summer
contributes to dryness and itching. Dehydration, sun exposure, smoking, and
stress also may cause dry skin.
Antioxidants:
Antioxidants are especially helpful when it comes to maintaining youthful skin
because it gives added protection to our skin's collagen and elastin.
Tips for Skin Care:
Eat a
Healthy Diet Low-nutrient food, such as sugar and refined carbohydrates, will
not provide the vitamins and minerals your skin needs. Choose unprocessed
organic foods, high in antioxidants such as beta carotene, vitamin C (oranges
and peppers), vitamin E (cold-pressed oils, nuts and seeds), selenium (tuna,
garlic, onions and broccoli) and zinc (whole grains, most seafood, and onions).
Eat high-fiber fruits, vegetables, whole grain bread and cereals, and brown
rice. Restrict excess sodium intake.
Seasons:
The change in
seasons can have a negative effect on your skin. Be alert and watch out for
these effects because leaving them untreated year after year will cause your
skin to age more rapidly than you'd like.
Drink Water:
Keep skin hydrated by
drink at least 1.5 liters water daily. Water is beneficial since it contains
trace minerals vital to healthy skin.
Sleep:
Research
has shown that skin regenerates itself between 1-3 am; lack of sleep during
those hours can cause skin to look dull or puffy. Taking a melatonin supplement
can be helpful in supporting your body’s normal sleep cycle..... |
