 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!
Drug store wrinkle creams and remedies will likely leave you wanting and needing more. The great news is that there are high quality skin care products that are available to help you combat the signs of fine lines and wrinkles. Effective wrinkle reduction can be achieved by using skin care products from Jan Marini, IS Clinical, Obagi, and SkinMedica.

 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!
If you’ve been dealing with acne breakouts for what feels like forever or have a teen that has acne trouble, it’s time to call Skin Gift. Our skin care consultants can help you choose the perfect acne products that will eliminate acne once and for all. Contact Skin Gift to learn about the fantastic acne products by Obagi, IS Clinical and Jan Marini too.

 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.

 Before you know it, winter will be upon us, and for many people, harsh winters bring…dry skin. Dry skin can be a typical occurrence, especially during the winter months. Despite its normalcy, dry skin can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. When skin loses hydration, normally plump skin cells will shrivel and create fine lines and wrinkles which make your skin look old and sagging.
If you are suffering from dry skin issues you could notice some of these:
• Tight feeling skin
• Skin that appears shrunken
• Rough looking skin
• Flaking, peeling, or scaling skin
• Fine lines or cracks
• Redness
• Deep cuts
• Itching
Most dry skin issues are caused by the environment that our skin is exposed to. The winter months are the hardest months for your skin to maintain moisture levels because the humidity in the air is the lowest. If you suffer from existing skin conditions, they are often exasperated during the winter months as well. Central heating, space heaters, fireplaces, and wood-burning stoves zap the air of humidity and will dry your skin out even more.
Hot baths and showers will also quickly dry your skin out as will using harsh soaps and deodorants. Sun exposure is a well-documented problem as the damaging ultraviolet rays cause harm to each layer of the skins surface.
Skin care experts agree that dry skin can be avoided by protecting your skin every day. Stop by Skin Gift to see the many products we have in stock to help avoid itchy painful dry skin issues this winter season.
