 A person could embrace the onslaught of wrinkles in their life and believe that they signify wisdom and grace from the years of life’s experiences. For most people who are getting older, especially women, wrinkles are something that they would likely choose to leave behind.
Wrinkles occur for a variety of reasons. The most common reason is because of the typical aging process. There are other factors that can speed up the wrinkling process as well.
• Some people tend to wrinkle more than others do based upon their genetic makeup.
• It is a well-known fact that smoking is a major contributor to premature aging of the skin.
• Light skinned people who tend to burn easily are more likely to wrinkle faster.
• Working outdoors (i.e. construction workers, farmers, road workers, etc.)
• Not protecting your skin from UVA/UVB rays when playing outdoors.
• Using tanning beds. Skin care experts agree…that there is no safe tan!

 The quest for women to maintain their youthful look and defy age successfully has been ongoing for thousands of years. There are many potions and concoctions that claim to reduce or prevent wrinkles and sagging skin in stores around the world. Age defying skin care products range from low cost home treatments to costly products which yield debatable end results.
In both men and women, there are several causes as to why our skin ages. Skin care experts cannot pin-point exactly when a person’s skin will age, but certain factors will speed up the aging process such as…not protecting your skin from the sun, eating an unhealthy diet, and smoking.
Aging skin is the most visible sign we have of getting older. One of the main reasons that our skin naturally ages is due to a loss of collagen production. As we age, our skin becomes thinner and loses its elasticity and strength.
The great news is that Skin Gift can help you find the perfect skin care product to help you combat the signs of aging. You can pamper your hands with Jan Marini’s Age Intervention Hands while you give your eyes a treat with iS Clinical’s Youth Eye Complex. You’ll have amazing results when you indulge in Jan Marini’s Age Intervention Booster, Jan Marini’s Age Intervention Regeneration, and iS Clinical’s Firming Complex. Each of these incredible skin care products can help you fight aging, boost elasticity, and combat sagging skin. They can all be found at Skin Gift.

Acne lesions are produced by the hormones that our bodies create at various points of time in our life. As our hormones begin to change, the oil glands in our skin becomes overly active. The excess oil, combined with the skin that is shed normally, will cause bacteria to become trapped and our pores to become clogged. Once the bacteria are trapped in the pore, it will become irritated and a whitehead or a blackhead lesion is eminent.
In addition to the onset of puberty, studies have shown that about 50% of adult women and 25% of adult men have suffered from acne problems at some point in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. The causes of adult acne are not completely known, but some skin care experts believe that hormone shifts, stress, cosmetics, and bacteria all contribute to a woman’s acne problems.
Skin care experts agree that keeping your skin free of dirt, cosmetics, and environmental pollutants will help keep acne under control. Cleansing your face with the Bioglycolic Oily Skin Cleansing Gel by Jan Marini will give those with oily prone skin the acne protection they need by offering a deep follicular cleansing agent. The IS Clinical Cleansing Complex is a lightweight and refreshing cleansing gel that is perfect for everyday use. This powerful cleanser is suitable for all skin types yet gentle enough for hypersensitive skin. Additionally, hormonal based acne can be controlled with the help of Jan Marini’s Age Intervention Transitions. You can find all of these acne skin care products conveniently available at Skin Gift.

 Continuing from Tuesday…
• Sun tanning will improve acne. Lying in the sun will dry out the skin for a short period of time, but it won’t stop the oil production completely. Ultraviolet rays are strong, but they will not penetrate deep enough into the pores of your skin to kill the bacteria that causes acne. So it may feel like getting a tan is helping improve your acne, but it is an extremely short lived time frame.
• Using sunscreen causes acne breakouts. Like people, not all sunscreens are alike. Some formulas may be more irritating to your skin and some may clog your pores causing breakouts. Using sunscreen is extremely important as it is the only way to protect your skin from the suns dangerous UVA and UVB rays. IS Clinical’s Treatment Sunscreen won’t clog your pores and provides the protection you need.
• Stress causes acne. The verdict is still out on this one. Some studies have shown that stress does affect acne production in some people. To be safe and acne free, it’s important to eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of water, and sleep well. With any luck, living a healthy life style will help you remain acne free!

 Some people are under the misconception that acne only occurs during the hormonally charged teen years, when in fact adults are subject to acne breakouts in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and sometimes even their 50’s. In the early years, acne often presents itself with whiteheads and blackheads which can occur at any location on the face, forehead, nose, back, neck, and the back of the arms. Adult acne typically looks different in that it often has reddish nodules around the mouth and jaw areas. Regardless of when, where, or how it appears, acne lesions can be frustrating to deal with, no matter what age you are.
Acne myths are a confusing maze of information to muddle through for both teens and adults. People often wonder what is causing their acne to appear and if they are personally making choices that will seal their acne fate. Here are some of the common acne myths that you should be aware of…
• Eating chocolate will cause you to have acne. This is one of the most common myths that have been around for what seems like forever! Okay ladies, you can breathe a huge sigh of relief because there is NO concrete evidence that links our beloved chocolate to acne breakouts. There is controversy as to the topic of what you eat and drink versus acne breakouts. Some studies have linked milk products to acne, but drinking milk is essential to good bone health.
Please check back on Thursday for the conclusion.
