Rosacea And The Relationship With Food Part 1 Of 2

Filed under: Rosacea — Tags: Obagi Rosaclear, Rosacea — admin @ 10:55 am

Rosacea is a common, yet frequently misunderstood skin condition by those who suffer from
it and by those in the medical community as well. Rosacea presents itself with redness on
the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead. People with rosacea often have red bumps or pimples on
their face. Small visible blood vessels are common, as well as watery or irritated looking eyes.

It is estimated that approximately 16 million people in the United States suffer from
rosacea. Of those who have rosacea, many do not know that they have the skin disease. The
cause of rosacea is still unknown and there is currently no cure that is available. Many physicians and skin care experts believe that rosacea symptoms can be minimized by the food that is consumed. Recognizing that not all rosacea sufferers have the exact same issues, each person will need to work to see what food products cause their rosacea to flare.

To maintain good skin health, everyone should drink plenty of water, and have plenty of rest. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables is always highly encouraged. High fiber diets with whole grains and raw or steamed vegetables are best to ensure that your body is receiving the nutrients that it needs.

Please check back on Thursday for the conclusion.

Is Mineral Make-up All Hype?

Filed under: Beauty Tips, Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup, Makeup Tips, Mineral Makeup, Skin Care Tips, Skincare Tips, Sun Protection, Sun Screen, skingift — Tags: Beauty Tips, Mineral Makeup — admin @ 9:00 am

Skin care experts are often asked the question by ladies if it is better to use a mineral makeup foundation or a liquid foundation. There are some differing opinions among skin care experts as to the benefits of using minerals, but the overwhelming majority tends to favor their usage for a variety of reasons.
Here’s the scoop…

Unlike some other types of foundations on the market, mineral makeup is made of all natural substances. It is widely believed that the finely crushed substances allow your pores to breathe naturally and remain free of blockages. A few mineral makeup lines add important ingredients such as broad spectrum UVA and UVB sunscreen into the formula. Although the sunscreen is not enough to protect you while on the beach or enjoying a day out boating, it is enough to protect you while running to and fro around town.

Users of mineral makeup report:
• A more natural look in comparison to other types of foundations.
• Mineral makeup provides a smooth and silky surface in which to apply makeup, or wear without makeup!
• Many ladies with sensitive skin claim that mineral makeup is the only foundation that they can use without irritation to their skin.
• Minimal acne breakouts because the pores of the skin remain open and clear.
• The lack of oil in mineral makeup is perfect for ladies with oily skin types.
• Mineral makeup is economical so everyone can afford to protect their skin and look beautiful.

Try Jane Iredale’s Amazing Base and you’ll see how excellent mineral makeup is.

Help For Dry Skin With IS Clinical

Filed under: skingift — Tags: IS Clinical — Skin Expert @ 12:19 pm

Your skin is the largest organ in your body and as such, special care should be taken to ensure its continued good health. Dry skin is a problem for men and women across America. There are many reasons why you could be experiencing dry skin. In most cases, environmental conditions are the cause. Cold winter weather, wind, and even the heating units inside of buildings will quickly zap the moisture from your skin. During the warmer months, sun exposure, swimming and dry air will also make your skin itch and flake away.

Dry skin is often caused by stripping away the protective coating of fatty oils on the skin. Using harsh soaps, taking long hot showers, wearing itchy clothing, and using moisturizers incorrectly will quickly dry out your skin. Dry skin is most often felt, not seen, depending on ethnicity. Left untreated, inflammation of the skin can occur which can lead to a secondary infection.

At Skin Gift you will find many skin care products that will specifically address dry skin issues. Using IS Clinical Body Complex works for all skin types. It hydrates, smoothes and softens the skin on your body while encouraging cellular regeneration.
