October 11, 2011 Skin Care
Whether you have just a few pimples or more serious breakout, here are the products you need to solve your skin woes. From YOU: The Owner’s Manual for Teens: A Guide to a Healthy Body and Happy Life, by Michael F. Roizen, M.D. and Mehmet C. Oz, M.D.
Those of you with simple blackheads and whiteheads will want to use a topical keratolytic medicine, which unblocks the pores (examples include adapalene, or Differin; and topical tretinoin, or Retin-A), plus something that kills bacteria on the surface of the skin (topical clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, or erythromycin) — a double whammy in the fight against acne. (Topical means that you apply the ointment, cream, or gel directly to the skin. Erythromycin may not work as well, as the bacteria get resistant or outsmart the drug.) For those who have blackheads and whiteheads and want to keep it simple, azeleic acid (brand name Azelex) unblocks the pores and kills bacteria on the surface of the skin. It also helps even out the pigment of the skin so you don’t end up with lighter and darker areas from acne scarring.
More than a few pimples, but not quite a pizza face? You might want to use benzoyl peroxide topically in addition to a different topical antibiotic. The two work better applied together than they would if used individually. You can use over-the-counter or prescription formulations of the former, while your pediatrician or a dermatologist will need to write you a prescription for the latter. For a higher price, there are many combo meds, such as the topical antibiotic clindamycin containing benzoyl peroxide; the best of these call for only one application a day, rather than the standard twice a day. That’s a bonus for those who don’t like much fuss when it comes to face or skin care.
If your acne is bad enough — with blemishes on the face, and perhaps pimples on your back or chest as well — then you might want to use an oral antibiotic (taken by mouth) in addition to the topicals, to kill the bacteria already trapped under the skin. You can be on an antibiotic for years without a problem, although sometimes you have to change to another one if the bacteria that love your skin become smart enough to eventually resist the drug. Girls can use either birth control pill alone, or in conjunction with the antibiotic.
If these strategies don’t work, then you need to talk with your dermatologist about your possibly going on Accutane, which is the pill form of isotretinoin. If you’re a girl and think you might need Accutane, it’s worth trying the birth control pill route first, since Accutane makes periods irregular and also causes birth defects if you get pregnant while taking it (or shortly thereafter). Guys, you’re not off the hook, as the medication can also cause liver damage, making annual blood tests necessary. Before trying Accutane, both girls and guys should have maxed out on whatever topical and oral antibiotics they have used (meaning using all medications faithfully and washing your face twice a day). If that has not cleared up your face in six to eight weeks, then it may be worth pursuing Accutane.
Note: When you make a change in your skin care, especially for acne treatment, it takes about six to eight weeks to see a difference. If your acne regimen isn’t working after that, it’s time to go back to the doctor. There’s a silver lining to all this: Those of you with really oily, pimple-laden faces may actually have fewer wrinkles later in life as compared to your dry-skinned, pimple-free classmates now. Your naturally elevated production of skin oil protects you better against aging and wrinkles.

Skin Care Tips for Removal of Wrinkles under the Eyes
While the age factor starts playing its part, the wrinkles especially around the eyes become prominent. These fine lines and the wrinkles around the eye and under eye wrinkles are the normal part of the aging process. The main cause of wrinkles is basically due to the thinning of the skin. The cause of wrinkles
is mainly the repetitive motions, so the act of smiling, when it
crinkles up your eyes, the end result is facial wrinkles especially
around the eyes.
After all this we need to know how to get rid of these wrinkles,
the most important thing that we are unaware of is that the skin need a
good supply of oxygen to stay looking healthy. For proper supply of
oxygen to the muscle they need to have a good circulation and muscle
tone. Besides exercises to increase blood circulation and oxygen,
clearing away toxins, smoothing lines and giving a healthier skin tone has to be related to healthy eating habits and a healthy skin care routine.
One of the most important thing to get rid of the winkles
is to learn to massage your facial skin with your fingertips this will
circulate the blood in the skin. Practice good eating habits. An eye
wrinkle home remedy that is much easier to take is to consume the right
diet. Eating the proper diet that is rich in antioxidants can greatly
improve the health of your skin. Try to consume more fruits,
vegetables, fish, and nuts that will provide your skin with the
vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants it needs to delay wrinkles on the face and under the eye.
Exercising will help reduce the wrinkles under your eyes.
Exercising keeps your skin and muscles tight. When the skin and
muscles become loose, you see wrinkles. If you are not getting enough
sleep, chances are you have puffy bags under your eyes or even dark
circles. Both of these conditions serve to make under eye wrinkles more
noticeable. To get rid of under eye creases and folds, plunk yourself
in the bed, enjoy eight hours of sleep every night, and experience the
difference. It is good for the skin under your eyes and good for your
entire body.
Make sure you drink at least eight classes of water a day. Dehydrated skin dries out, making it more prone to wrinkles.
Water hydrates the skin, keeping it soft, supple, and younger looking
for long. Although it is difficult to stop wrinkles from happening, you
can work on tightening the face and reducing their appearance. Removing eye wrinkles can be achieved naturally. Stick with healthy lifestyle habits, which will safely heal and repair the skin around your eyes.
