Detect Skin Cancer with Alphabet Soup

Filed under: News, Sun Protection, Sun Screen — Tags: Skin Cancer, Sun Tips — Skin Expert @ 5:09 am

As frightening as skin cancer sounds, it’s treatable if detected early. And one of the best ways to detect skin cancer is via the alphabet soup: know your ABCDEs of changes in a mole or skin growth.

A = asymmetry. One side doesn’t match the other side.

B = border irregularity. The edges are uneven, ragged or notched.

C = color. The pigmentation is not consistent. Different shades of brown, black or tan are evident and a mottled appearance may show red, white and/or blue colors.

D = diameter. The size of the mole is larger than a pencil eraser.

E = evolution. The growth changes in size and shape. There could be itching or tenderness and possibly surface bleeding.

Protect your skin. If possible, stay indoors from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. when sunlight is the strongest. Avoid artificial sources of sunlight, like tanning booths. Wear a large-brimmed hat and protect your body with clothing that covers arms and legs. And ALWAYS use a quality sunscreen!

Look for sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for the best protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Reapply often, especially after swimming or exercising. Don’t skimp on overlooked areas like ears, hairline and feet.

Be sun wise this summer. Protect yourself and examine your skin every month. Remember, skin cancer is curable if spotted early. To discuss your skin’s condition with a medical professional, visit www.SkinGift.com.

The Must Have Weapons In Your Sun Protection Arsenal

Filed under: Sun Protection, Sun Screen — Tags: Sun Block, Sun Protection, Sunscreen — Skin Expert @ 5:34 am

Beautiful skin can be yours again with the Obagi Nu-Derm System.

Protect Your Skin From the Sun With These Great Products!

There are two important weapons you should have in your sun protection arsenal: a good quality sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection and a great makeup made with a broad spectrum SPF.

You probably know that UVA and UVB rays can do serious damage to your skin, from premature aging to a variety of skin cancers. Many sunscreens and makeup formulations only protect against UVB rays, the type of radiation that causes sunburn. Newer, better products also include protection against UVA rays — the dangerous rays that cause wrinkles, age spots, encourage cancer development and even suppress the immune system.

One outstanding sunscreen is Healthy Sun Protection 35 from Obagi Nu-Derm® System.

This formulation contains 7.5% octinoxate and a 9% concentration of micronized zinc oxide, which acts as a block (not the same as a screen) to keep the dangerous rays from reaching your skin.

Put on Healthy Sun Protection 35 first thing in the morning, followed by an excellent sun-protecting makeup. One of the best is from Jane Iredale.

Jane Iredale’s Purepressed® Base and Amazing Base® are pure, mineral based foundations. They not only cover, conceal and leave the skin glowing, but provide broad spectrum SPF 20 protection.

This summer you don’t have to declare war on the sun – just have plenty of good ammunition on hand, like Healthy Sun Protection 35 from Obagi Nu-Derm® System and Jane Iredale’s mineral makeup line.

You can obtain Obagi® Medical and Jane Iredale products from dermatologists, skin care professionals and at www.skingift.com.

Get the Red Out!

Filed under: Acne, Obagi Rosaclear, Rosacea, Skin Cleansers, Sun Screen, skingift — Tags: Obagi Rosaclear, Rosacea, rosy cheeks, Skin Cleaning, skincare, Skincare Tips, Sun Screen — Skin Expert @ 1:00 am

rosaclear-system A blush on the cheeks is pretty, but the blotchy, red skin isn’t. Many people have red, uneven skin tones and more than 14 million Americans actually have rosacea. Red cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead characterize rosacea. It also may include acne-like pimples in these areas.

Rosacea is most common in fair-skinned people. It’s nearly three times more common in women than men. There is no cure for rosacea so ongoing treatment is critical.

Obagi Medical has introduced a skin care line called Rosaclear to combat these symptoms. The Rosaclear System uses a complete therapeutic approach to clear and calm the skin and treat rosacea. This is a prescription strength line that has been tested by dermatologists.

A few simple steps each morning and night is all that’s needed. First, the Gentle Cleanser calms the skin while removing irritating bacteria. Next, prescription Metronidazole gel is applied to treat the inflammatory acne. Hydrating Complexion Corrector protects, moisturizes, and reduces redness with calming and anti-inflammatory agents. Last, Skin Balancing SPF 30 is used to protect the skin without irritation. Sun exposure can greatly aggravate rosacea. So whether you are a rosacea sufferer or just have red, uneven skin, Rosaclear will leave you calm, cool, and collected.
