Male age spots tend to occur in men over the age of 40. It is the same for the female of the species and there is no difference between men and
women in this respect. The cause of male age spots is well known and is none other than those ultraviolet rays from the sun which are the major
cause of damage to our skin. Our skin contains a pigment known as melanin and excessive exposure to the sun can cause this pigment to increase
which results in the appearance of these male age spots.

Can male age spots be removed? There are a number of treatments including skin sanding, freezing or the use of lasers all of which work by
removing the skin cells that make up the spot. A gentler solution is to use a moisturizing cream formulated for the purpose. Look for the ingredient
Extrapone Nutgrass which is plant extract that is particularly effective in reducing the melanin in our skin.

Why Is Skin Hydration Important?

Skin hydration may not be something you think about very often, but we are all familiar with its opposite – dehydration. When we are dehydrated our bodies are suffering from a lack of liquids and this can have a dangerous effect on our health. For example our kidneys require large quantities of water to enable them to function correctly. What is not generally realised is that our skin is the largest organ in our bodies and when it becomes dehydrated the result is dry and peeling skin. So skin hydration is important if we wish to retain a smooth and healthy skin.

The techniques of Japanese skincare should be of great interest to us in the west. Why? Because Japanese women are renowned for their perfect skin. As with many things in the east, Japanese skincare has been practised for hundreds of years using natural plants, clays and oils to cleanse and
moisturize their bodies.

Skin care is not just about creams and lotions, but
you also need to follow a healthy diet. And the
Japanese diet is no exception consisting mainly of rice, fish and vegetables. A favorite food is a form of seaweed which grows in the Sea of Japan known as wakame kelp. In recent years an extract from this kelp known as phytessence wakame has been found to have properties which make it an essential element of an effective skin cream.

There are many things that we in the west can learn from the ancient wisdom of the east and Japanese skincare is just one.

Wrinkle Remover Cream

 Anti Aging, Skin Care  Comments Off

Can you buy a wrinkle remover cream? Of course, there are any number available in stores and online. But can you buy one that actually removes
your wrinkles? Well, that depends. Skin care experts recommend that you should start using creams and lotions in your twenties if you want to delay the signs of aging and the appearance of those fine lines and wrinkles. Naturally the longer you wait to start a regular skincare routine, the harder it will be for your face to defy the passing of the years.

On the other hand the term “wrinkle remover cream” clearly implies that it will remove those wrinkles. There are creams are designed to “fill in the cracks” and so appear to remove the wrinkles, but what you really want is a cream that is able to restore your skin to its original condition.

Collagen and elastin are proteins that keep your skin looking firm and smooth. As we age these proteins tend to decrease and this is why our skin starts to lose its condition and lines and wrinkles appear. There are certain substances that can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to reverse the trend. One name to look out for is Xtend-TK which is an essential ingredient of a wrinkle remover cream.

There are simple ways to prevent wrinkles from spoiling your perfect complexion. Everyone knows that you need to use a cream both night and day, but the secret is knowing which creams will be effective and will actually prevent those wrinkles from developing.

It’s hardly surprising to find that any organic night cream reviewed by an advertising agency claims to be the best. That’s their job to promote the brand of the company that employs them. Clearly if you rely on the advertisements you are going to have a hard job distinguishing between all the different organic night creams on the market.

On the other hand an organic night cream reviewed by an independant expert would include information about the ingredients and the way that they act on your skin to retain its firm and youthful appearance.

Some of the ingredients that I have mentioned before in other posts include shea butter, manuka honey and avocado extract.

The Truth About Dry Skin Care

The first step in dry skin care is to discover the cause. We are all familiar with the appearance of dry flaking skin which is both unsightly and can lead to irritation, but you need to find out what is causing the problem before you can decide what is the best way to treat the condition.

Our bodies produce a natural oil which helps our skin retain its moisture and it is the lack of this
natural oil that results in areas of dry skin. One of the main causes of dryness is excessive exposure to
the sun, but it can also be caused by cold weather conditions or a biting wind.

Other causes include washing too frequently with a harsh soap or using cosmetics made from synthetic chemicals. Some pharmaceutical drugs can be the reason why dry skin care is required. Equally you may be someone for whom this is their natural skin type.

Coping with the environmental factors of sun and cold is simple enough. Wear appropriate clothes to keep covered and use a sunscreen for your face. If you think that a drug or medicine you are taking might be responsible, consult your pharmacist for advice.

Once you have dealt with any aspects of your lifestyle that might have been the cause of your problem, you will need to establish a dry skin care routine. Regular gentle cleansing without using any soap on your face and then dry by gently patting with a towel. Then apply a moisturizing cream while your skin is still damp. Make sure the moisturizer you use is made from natural products such as shea butter or grapeseed oil.

If you want to look your best a healthy skin is essential. So how do you achieve this? Well here are my top 5 skin care tips:

# Know your skin type. This is important because there are different skin care products for all the varying skin types.

# Drink plenty of water. Some people recommend that you should drink eight glasses of water a day to keep your body fully hydrated. This will be reflected in the health of your skin.

# Cleanse your skin regularly. Wash twice a day in lukewarm water to remove all dust and dirt that may have accumulated during the day.

# Be gentle. Don?t scrub or exfoliate too hard or too often. Similarly, don?t apply too much or too many skin care products.

# Keep your skin moist at all times. Don?t let your skin become dry because dryness causes the outer

layer of your skin to break, leading to a rough and unattractive appearance. Use a moisturiser regularly.

So there you have it – my top five skin care tips. Keep a lookout for my next five tips in a future post.
