What happens when you turn 40?

When you enter your forties, you might start noticing more wrinkles and fine lines around your eyes, mouth and forehead. On top of that, your complexion may start looking duller. However, if you practice a good skin care routine and care for your skin you can enhance your complexion and diminish the appearance of the signs of aging. Here are some tips to care for your skin during your 40's and maintain its good health.
Re-evaluate your skin type
As we grow old, our skin ages and looses collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, the skin tends to become dry and saggy. Even if you had normal skin throughout your life, you will start noticing that your skin becomes drier as you age; this is a signal that you need to change your skin care products and use ones that cater to dry skin types.
Upgrade your skin care regimen
Up till now, you may have been practising a regular skin care regimen of cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing which was working fine. However, once you enter your forties, you need to re-evaluate your skin and upgrade your skin care regimen to suit the changing needs. Your forties are a time when you start to see the results of how you have treated your skin so far - this will further decide how much you will need to adjust your skin care regimen. If you have always worn sunscreen and practised preventive care, then your skin probably will not show much of a difference. However, if you have been neglecting skin care all these years, you will see wrinkles and fine lines become more prominent as you approach your forties.
Use anti aging skin care products
It is high time to start using anti aging skin care formulations. These skin care products contain specialized ingredients that help soothe the skin and fight against the signs of aging. Look for ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids and retinoids. They not only stimulate the collagen production within the skin cells but also help diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Treat acne
Acne is a common skin concern during the forties because of the hormonal fluctuations that the body goes through. Adult acne is a serious skin concern. Therefore you need to use special acne skin care products that identify the root cause of acne and treat it from the roots.
Go low on make-up and cosmetics
When women hit their forties, they generally end up using heavier make-up in order to camouflage the aging signs and make their skin look radiant. However, this has a detrimental effect on the skin; heavy foundation and excessive compact powder can actually create a cakey impression and highlight the wrinkles and fine lines on your face. Moreover, the harsh chemicals contained in these products may seep into your skin and further degrade the internal tissues. Instead you should use creamy and hydrating skin care products that don't highlight the age lines but makes the skin appear smooth and supple. Look for ingredients like petrolatum and glycerin in your cosmetics.
What is Hyper Pigmentation?

Hyper pigmentation may be caused by internal and external causes. Internal causes include hormonal imbalances such as pregnancy. An external cause for hyper pigmentation is sun exposure. Sots of brown may appear with sun exposure without the use of a sunblock.
There are a few types of hyperpigmentation that is based on the cause of the excess melanin and its appearance on the skin. These include melasma, age spots or liver spots, freckles, and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is also related with a number of diseases such as Addison's disease and other sources of adrenal insufficiency, in which the hormones induce melanin synthesis.
Hyperpigmentation treatment
•Topical Whitening / Bleaching creams - Although Hydroquinone is one of the best-established topical agents for reducing skin pigmentation it is now a banned substance in most countries around the world. Their are excellent alternatives however, Arbutin, Kojic, Licorice, Vitamin C to name but a few. Most creams will take several weeks to produce results because even though the synthesis of new melanin is blocked quickly, the existing melanin takes a relatively long time to migrate out of the skin in the process of natural exfoliation.
•Hydroxy Acid Peels - They increase cell renewal rate and correct hyper pigmentation marks. Alpha hydroxy acids are water soluble acids and can help remove hyperpigmentation.
•Laser resurfacing – Normal laser skin resurfacing works by evaporating the first few layers of damaged skin to leave behind a fresh, evenly toned skin. Hydroquinone or mild chemical peels are often recommended before laser resurfacing for best results.
•Intense pulsed light – IPL is a type laser that leaves no scares, can sometimes heals freckles or other mild sun spots without using peels or hydroquinone creams beforehand.
Skin hyperpigmentation is not a life threatening condition. Nevertheless, you should consult with your doctor to confirm that it is not melanoma, a form of skin cancer. In addition, you should see your doctor if you experience unexplained darkening or lightening or any skin sore or lesion that changes the color of the skin.

How to Reduce Wrinkles

In fact, you can only slow down the development of wrinkles. You can depend on the modern dermatological products and home remedies to help you reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
1. Exfoliating your skin promotes the body to produce new skin cells since it gets rid of dead and dry skin cells. Therefore doing it twice weekly benefits your skin. The hydration also increases the skin absorption of the cream.
2. You can avoid fines lines the natural way by cutting a piece from an aloe vera plant and then place this to the skin. It contains malic acid that can help prevent wrinkles. Another natural remedy for wrinkles is use papaya. It has enzymes that can shed off the top layer of the skin.
3. Keep your skin moisture all the times. Always apply a moisturizer after washing every morning. The harmful sunlight can cause fine lines to form. So, protect your face with a sunscreen of at least SPF 30. You can also try another natural way that is using fresh avocado since it contains vitamin E, an antioxidant.
4. In addition to using moisturizers on your face, fine lines can also be prevented by drinking lots of water and eating nutritious foods. Including foods which are rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids help in your daily diet can make your skin looks younger.
5. If you want to maintain overall health, then you can exercise regularly since it improves the blood circulation to the skin. If you don't want all your efforts to be put into waste, then don't smoke or drink alcoholic beverages.
6. Stress forces you to over use your facial muscular tissues. That is why stressed people usually have noticeable fine lines on their faces. The development of wrinkles can be accelerated when you frown or raise your eyebrows too often. Therefore, you should try to do them less often.

The Secret to Great Skin

With today’s hectic lifestyles, keeping a positive outlook and minimizing stress and anxiety can be an ongoing challenge. Relaxation techniques learned through yoga, meditation, and deep breathing are effective stress-busting activities and they can help to get you back on the right track.
Add to this, regular exercise and a balanced diet that incorporates all of the food groups to give your body the needed ingredients to maintain conditions for optimal health, which can also promote a radiant complexion.
On the exterior, how you care for your skin can directly impact its appearance. Sun protection from a young age is a key factor that influences the onset of pre-mature aging. A minimum SPF30 sunscreen is generally the recommended level of coverage to look for. Finally, institute a basic twice-daily cleansing and moisturizing routine to remove impurities and restore hydration.

Adult Acne

Adult acne, in contrast to the teenage type, occurs more often in women. For some women, this is the first time they had acne; we call this late-onset acne. For other women, their acne never stopped from childhood into adulthood; we call this persistent acne. Many of my women patients have other names for adult acne, but they cannot be printed here.
It Must Be Hormones
We like to blame everything on hormones. In the case of acne, hormones contribute, but they are not the only factor. Stopping birth control pills causes a change in hormones and is a cause for acne in adult women. Similarly, using progestin-only birth control pills affects hormones in such a way as to cause breakouts. Pregnancy is a time of dramatic hormone fluctuations and for some women, dramatic acne. Similarly, menopause can trigger outbreaks. Despite these known hormonal triggers, most women who have acne do not have hormonal imbalances (they are normal fluctuations in hormones). Foods or supplements that claim to balance women’s hormones don’t. So save your time and money, they won’t help your acne.
You Can’t Scrub Acne Away
Exfoliating to open pores can help, but only when done in moderation. Harsh scrubs or repeated microdermabrasion will irritate the skin and make acne worse. Instead, use mild chemical exfoliators such as salicylic acid or glycolic acid which are found in many women’s cosmetics and in acne treatments. Products that contain benzoyl peroxide also help to exfoliate and will treat adult acne.
Don’t Give Up Your Scharffen Berger Chocolate
Although myths of chocolate and pizza causing acne have been disproved, it is true that consuming cow’s milk (which contains hormones) as well as eating a diet high in carbohydrates (which causes inflammation) can contribute to acne. Eating chocolate once and a while, especially good chocolate, will not cause or worsen your acne.
Cosmetics Cause Acne
Many skincare products contain ingredients that clog your pores, triggering acne. Pantene shampoo as well as many hair conditioners have been known to cause this problem. Also, sunscreens are notorious for causing acne. If you notice that your acne is worse around your hairline or that it has flared since you started sunscreens, then try changing your products; it might be all you need to clear up your face.

Tips to apply sunscreen more effectively

Before going out in the sun, question that strikes the brain is how to prevent the skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun. The answer is simple- by using sunscreen lotions. However, sometimes sunscreen lotions are used quite inappropriately, which prevents from accessing its full benefits. However, before applying any sunscreen lotion make sure that it suits your skin. Here are some genuine tips to use sunscreen lotions:-
• Make sure that you apply sunscreen lotion at least 30 minutes before you go out, as it would allow skin to absorb the lotion.
• Applying sunscreen lotion just once is not sufficient. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours when outdoors, especially if you’re swimming or sweating.
• Skin around the tops of the ears, nose, and cheeks is quite susceptible to sunburn, so apply sunscreen on these areas, liberally.
• Use roughly a handful to cover your entire body.
These were some of the authentic ways of applying sunscreen lotion, however, it should not be forgot that clothes serve as the best shield against UV rays, therefore, try to dress up in such a manner that most of your body parts are covered. In addition, don’t forget to drink lots of water.

Building Your Own Skin Care Brand

When you are not a manufacturer, your chances of your brand actually winding up in super markets are very slim indeed, simply because Super Markets generally sell inexpensive personal care products with very small margins. You will be unable to compete with mainly large factories for large orders. Now, Super Market chains in particular order big and pay nothing.
Department stores are different, there is a possibility of you actually making it into department stores with your brand, if you go about it the right away. I think the best recent example I can give you is a brand called “Rituals” (www.rituals.com). I believe the creator was a Belgian guy and he opened his first store in Amsterdam not that long ago (10 years). What he had going for him was his 12 year experience as a marketing specialist at Unilever for skin care products. In just 10 years time, he has turned a simple local shop in Amsterdam into a multimillion dollar franchise. There isn’t a department store in the Netherlands that does not sell “Rituals”.
What a lot of these great brands, like The Body shop, Origins, Philosophy, H2o, Kiehls, Murad, etc. have in common, is a very simple approach. In fact the whole concept is so simple, it makes you wonder why you didn’t come up with it yourself. People respond to that, I certainly do. My motto: ”Less is better” , there is beauty in simplicity, there is order and a better sense of understanding. Give people too many choices, they will decide on nothing and walk away. You clutter your posters, leaflets or any other promotional material with endless phrases and informational diarrhea, it will never be read. You design and decorate your packaging like a Liberace heirloom, and it will never see the light of day.
What you want, is a lot in a very short time (I reckon). I suggest you take a few steps back and then consider what is to be your next step. Don’t plan too much ahead, things will usually work out in a different way and you need to be flexible and prepared for changes.
That being said,
Create a Long term Action Plan (3-5 years).
Set 1 specific goal for each year.
Try to come up with a few S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measureable, Actionable, Relevant and Timely) short term Goals at the beginning of each month. If you do well, you should be able to reach all of your goals within the specific timeframe. If you slack off, you’ll be stuck before the end of the year with too many things left to accomplish.

80% of sunscreens found ineffective

Most of these sunscreens seem to be effective for sunburns, but their efficiency in fighting skin cancer is under question. They seem to be having little effect on the prevalence of melanoma which is the deadliest form of skin cancer. The rate of contracting skin cancer remains steady. According to the National Cancer Institute this trend is actually on a rise. According to Dr. Marianne Berwick, a melanoma specialist, who heads the Division of Epidemiology (University of New Mexico), there is no evidence that sunscreens work against melanoma.
However, the industry experts are ready with their own versions on the effectiveness and safety of sunscreens.
According to John Baily , chief scientist at the Personal Care Products Council (a trade association for the cosmetic and personal care product industry) the materials used in sunscreens are tested in a number of ways in animal studies and clinical studies before being approved for usage by the public. According to him, the EWG is taking the laboratory studies into considerations and not the ones conducted on human beings and drawing conclusions that the products are unsafe and hence to be avoided. However, when asked about the effectiveness of the sunscreens on skin cancer he agreed that scientifically it cannot be said that sunscreens protect against melanoma.
A number of scientists believe that people who apply sunscreens remain in the sun for longer periods of time thinking that the sunscreen is actually protecting them against the sun. It has been observed that FDA (Food and Drug Administration), when checking a new brand of sunscreen, asks for the verification of its effectiveness against sunburn but not against melanoma and other forms of skin cancer.
But are the sunscreen manufacturers actually at fault? Before contemplating on that we should examine how the sunscreens have been working till now. It has been found that sunscreens are effective against sunburn but not skin cancer. How? The sun emits two types of rays that are harmful to the human skin. They are UVB (ultra violet B rays) and UVA (ultra violet A rays) both of which cause sunburn. Repeated sunburn may lead to skin cancer. The sunscreens that have been developed till now protect against sunburn caused by UVB and not UVA. Now UVA is being looked upon as a causal factor for melanoma. The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) might be effective in protecting against sunburn caused by UVB and not UVA.
Now, FDA that regulates sunscreens as over-the –counter drugs is rolling out a labeling system in which the manufacturer of the sunscreen has to specify its effectiveness against UVA by May. Also the acronym SPF will be changed to mean Sunburn Protection Factor rather than Sun Protection Factor.
In any case, Cosmaprof has a wide range of very effective sunscreens available from SPF15 to SPF 60, Oil free, waterproof, tinted.

The afterbirth in skincare
I suppose back then many consumers felt fairly uncomfortable with the idea of applying "essence of sheep or bovine afterbirth" on their faces whereas nowadays people are willing to try almost everything to look and to a certain extent also feel better.
For those who are not familair with the term "placenta", I will explain;
The placenta is the lining of the womb that is expelled after birth and in effect, as I did earlier the placenta is often referred to as the "afterbirth".
The placenta is extremely rich in nutrients which of course provides nourishment for the foetus during pregnancy. It is for this particular reason one believes that the placenta or moreover the stored nutrients within may very well be beneficial in restoring the youthful glow of days gone by.
Typically speaking, all anti aging products promise you the key to the fountain of youth but very rarely do they make good on their promises. However, placenta extract may actually do the trick, as it is now widely used in other cosmetic and personal products as well, such as shampoos and hairbalms etc.
Placenta extract can also be injected into the bloodstream or taken orally which according to experts would yield better results.
There are many manufactures out there today producing placenta serum. Sheeps placenta will be mainly produced in New Zealand and Australia wheras bovine placenta is more common in the States and Europe.
It doesn't look like placenta extract is going to go out of fashion just yet, a number of celebrities still endorse or rather are endorsed by brands producing placenta serum mainly Jennifer Lopez and Pamela Andersson.
