 In continuation from Thursday…
• Aging – People who already have dark circles under their eyes will likely have more pronounced dark under eye circles as they continue to age. When excess folds of the skin develop under the eyes, any dark under eye circles will look predominant.
• Pregnancy or Menstruation – The skin often becomes more pale allowing veins under the eyes to become more visible which results in dark circles under the eye.
• Dehydration – Excessive loss of water can be a cause of dark circles under the eyes.
• Sun Exposure – Dark circles occur in both dark and light skinned people when sunscreen is not used and sun exposure is experienced.
• Eye Glasses – When eye glasses are too heavy, blood circulation can be slowed which will cause dark circles. Dark circles under your eyes can be unsightly and you could choose to cover them up with Jane Iredale’s Circle/Delete Concealer. You’ll always be able to achieve a perfect match to your skin tone thanks to the creamy colors that can be blended together.

 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!

 Skin cells give your skin color by releasing a substance called melanin. When your skins cells become unhealthy or damaged, the melanin production is affected. Sometimes the pigmentation of your skin is affected in patches and other times, your entire body is affected, depending on the pigmentation disorder that you have.
When your body produces too much melanin your skin will become darker, which is called Hyperpigmentation. Exposure to the sun will darken skin that is already Hyperpigmented. Other conditions such as Addison’s disease and pregnancy can cause Hyperpigmentation. If your body produces too little melanin your skin become lighter in color, which is called Hypopigmentation. Lightening of the skin can be caused by blisters, burns, trauma, or infection. Vitiligo or Albinism are also causes for Hypopigmentation.
In today’s world of beauty queens, glamour magazines, and Hollywood celebs, it’s no wonder that the change in appearance caused by pigmentation problems can affect a person’s emotional and psychological well-being, especially for women.
Skin Gift has several products specifically designed to help address pigmentation issues. Contact our skin care consultants to find information about our skin brighteners for the face, neck and chest for all skin types. You can’t go wrong with the great pigmentation products from Obagi, Jan Marini, and iS Clinical. Come check them out!

 As the saying goes…”Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”…and people suffering with large pores may have problems with self-esteem issues if they are worried about the condition of their skin.
Pores are small openings on the skin’s surface that serve an important function on every human being as they enable glands to secrete fluids. Perspiration and oil are secreted through the pores to protect and hydrate the skins surface.
The size of a person’s pores can vary for a variety of different reasons. Textural “crater-like” pores can be very upsetting regardless of gender. Men tend to have a higher rate of large pores than women do because their skin produces more oil than a woman’s does. People with dry skin types typically have finer pores and people with oily and combination skin have large pores.
As we age, the lack of elastin and collagen decreases and will cause pores to widen. UVA and UVB rays are extremely damaging to the surface of your skin. Sun damage will cause the top layer of your skin to thicken and some pores may appear to look larger because of the rings that will collect around the individual pores. When blemishes such as blackheads and whitehead form on the skin, they will enlarge the pores and give the illusion of very open pores.
If you are concerned about large pores, you should try the ZO Skin Health Acne Prevention and Care Program that is available at Skin Gift. Using this amazing system will allow you to target excess oil, exfoliate dead skin cells and sebum, boost collagen production, reduce inflammation, and tighten pores for a softer and smoother looking skin.
