2. What are the most common treatments you perform? Which treatments generally provide the greatest results to a client\u2019s skin?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most common conditions and complaints that arrive at our center are Chronic Acne in teenagers and young adults, and also pre and post menopausal acne.<\/p>\n

The second common conditions are pigmentation disorders such as melasma, sun damage spots, chronic post inflammatory hyper pigmentation caused by injury. Some of the most common cause of pigmentation is a direct result of some type of injury to the skin. Typical pigmentation-causing injuries include:<\/p>\n

\u2666Acne or Acne Cysts
\n\u2666Over-exposure to heat
\n\u2666Hair waxing
\n\u2666Insect bites or itchy rashes
\n\u2666Abrasions or Cuts<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Can factors like the environment and stress\/unhealthy living have an impact on person\u2019s skin? Are there ways to avoid stress to the skin?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>No matter where we live or our ethnic origins, our skin is affected by the environment and current patterns of consumption and toxic exposure. It is always adjusting and changing to keep us fully protected. The best way to determine skin health and by extension, inner health, is through simple observation. How does your skin look and feel? Dry, oily, patchy or all three? No matter which skin type you have, it is absolutely critical that your skin is kept as clean as possible. All superficial debris should be cleansed away regularly; otherwise pores will become blocked, creating an environment for blemishes.<\/p>\n

Stress whether physical or mental is a part of our life. Some of us are productive under stress which is a positive type of stress but those who respond negatively under stress are ones who should resort to meditation. Yoga and exercise and rejuvenate their system to build resistance to external factors. Exercise is meant to produce the happy hormone.<\/p>\n

All said and done, skin conditions are indications of our current lifestyles and the stress that can be exacerbated by using second-rate products. You need not use fancy skin-care cosmetics, just pure or\u2013even better\u2013certified organic products when you can find them. Keep a look out for herbal ingredients, and nourish your skin from the inside and out<\/p>\n

4. <\/strong>For those who are prone to troubled skin, how should they go about finding a suitable regimen for balance<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cleanse your skin in the mornings to remove dead skin and oils discharged during the rejuvenation and repair phase at night, then again at bedtime. The less makeup the better; less really is more in terms of anti-aging. Excess products can block pores, hinder the skin\u2019s ability to breathe and compromise cells by blocking nutrients and creating free radical damage.<\/p>\n

Oily skin requires cleansing more frequently. (Beware of overusing cleansers containing \"\"<\/a>large amounts of bacteria-killing substances, such as hexachlorophene and sodium hydroxide, as they can aggravate pimple formation.) Toning is an extension of cleansing and freshening your skin. A toner helps remove traces of makeup and oil, tightening the pores temporarily and stimulating blood circulation.<\/p>\n

Moisturizing is important, as your face is constantly exposed to drying elements\u2013sun, wind \"\"<\/a>and cold weather. For skin with oily tendencies, use a moisturizer with pure, natural oils. Oily skin has generally been subjected to harsh detergents, thereby signaling to the sebaceous glands to keep over-producing oil. However, a therapeutic oil (see previous page) applied to the skin will indicate to the sebaceous glands that there is enough surface oil, which, in turn, reduces the amount of oil produced.<\/p>\n

Dry skin may indicate dehydration and the need for more essential fatty acids in your diet. Good sources of EFAs include purslane herb and oils of fish, flax, hemp and olive. Also try a good organic moisturizer.<\/p>\n

5. <\/strong>How long should a person use their skin care regimen before deciding if they need to switch to something else?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As mentioned\u00a0above you need not have use expensive products to obtain healthy skin, but a consistent protocol will go a long way. Skin care products will help to a certain extent, but it totally relies on a healthy diet and life style that will project onto your skin. Look for products that do not contain lanolin and strong artificial perfumes rather natural organic products that are skin friendly and easily absorbable by the skin.<\/p>\n

Skin care products have their limitations and take time to show results, jumping from one product to another that sounds more promising will only leave your shelf with a variety of products that will eventually land in your trash bin. So be patient while using organic products as they take time to work and show results.<\/p>\n

If you do react with rashes or allergies than sure its time to change and look for something that will calm your skin down and a visit to a skin care specialist would help to recommend what’s best suitable for your skin type.<\/p>\n

6. <\/strong>What are your top tips<\/strong> for getting and maintaining beautiful, healthy and radiant skin?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Healthier, Younger-Looking Skin<\/h6>\n

A healthy diet, a fit body and mind, and emotional tranquility will contribute to clearer skin. Stress causes elevated levels of the hormone cortisol, which leads to inflammation and skin imperfection and blemishes. Hydrate with good quality water.<\/p>\n

A diet for blemish-prone skin would be consistently high in lean protein and fresh (organic) fruit and vegetables. Avocados are one of the best sources of protein. Overall, protein is a major pimple-fighter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Stop your intake of coffee and switch to decaf herbal teas; your skin will thank you and you will lose that stubborn weight. Reduce sugars and starchy foods\u2013white-flour products and ingredients such as corn syrup, glucose, fructose and maltose\u2013these converted sugars damage skin collagen.<\/p>\n

Remember to always look for herbal ingredients, and nourish your skin from the inside and out. Shampoo hair daily, especially if it’s oily. Comb or pull your hair back to keep the hair out of your face. Avoid tight headbands.<\/p>\n

Try not to squeeze, scratch, pick, or rub the pimples. Although it might be tempting to do this, it can lead to scarring and skin infections.<\/p>\n

Avoid touching your face with your hands or fingers.<\/p>\n

Avoid greasy cosmetics or creams. Look for water-based or “non-comedogenic” formulas. Take make-up off at night.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drink water<\/h6>\n

<\/strong> <\/strong>\"\"<\/a>This is <\/strong>another good method for beautiful skin is to drink plenty of water, a good six to eight glasses a day. Drinking water helps the body to purify itself, and when the body is adequately hydrated, it helps to break down and eliminate toxins and waste in the body. Water will also help in encouraging the growth of cells and can help ‘wash away’ foreign elements in your body that may make their way to the skin and foster the conditions for acne. A good way to tell if you are drinking a healthy amount of water is if your urine appears clear. Green tea has also been known to detoxify and clean out the body, and may also help in the prevention of acne, allergies, Candida infection.<\/p>\n

A common result of improperly performed hair laser is a proliferation of dark patches on the legs or face. There are a variety of hair lasers on the market and not every one is designed for every skin type and color.<\/p>\n

The Best Way to Prevent Hyper pigmentation<\/h6>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/h6>\n

Taking care of your skin by controlling sun exposure is key. Sun exposure is the primary cause of facial and body brown spots, age spots, freckles, moles and pre-cancerous actinic keratosis. Preventing sun-induced hyper pigmentation is a full time process. Hormones, injury and pigmentation from allergic reactions or skin disease such as acne are mostly beyond your control.
\nSunscreen, Sunblock, hats and sun-protective clothing are your first line guard against not only unsightly brown patches but also sun damage that could lead to skin cancer.<\/p>\n

\u2666Staying out of the sun between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., when the sun\u2019s rays are the strongest.
\n\u2666Wearing protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat and long sleeves, when outdoors during the day.
\n\u2666Applying sunscreen year round. Sunscreen should be broad spectrum (offers UVA and UVB protection) and have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. \u2666Sunscreen should be applied 20 minutes before going outdoors to all skin that will be exposed. It should be reapplied after sweating or being in water.
\n\u2666Avoiding deliberate tanning, including use of indoor tanning devices<\/p>\n

If you perform facial exercises to maintain a youthful-looking appearance, it is time to stop. Repetitive facial movements actually lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Each time we use a facial muscle, a groove forms beneath the surface of the skin, which is why we see lines form with each facial expression.
\nAs skin ages and loses its elasticity, the skin stops springing back to its line-free state, and these grooves become permanently etched on the face as fine lines and wrinkles.<\/p>\n

Smoking<\/h6>\n

Cigarette smoking causes biochemical changes in our bodies that accelerate aging.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Research shows that a person who smokes 10 or more cigarettes a day for a minimum of 10 years is statistically more likely to develop deeply wrinkled, leathery skin than a nonsmoker. It also has been shown that people who smoke for a number of years tend to develop an unhealthy yellowish hue to their complexion. Additionally, a study conducted in 2002 showed that facial wrinkling, while not yet visible, can be seen under a microscope in smokers as young as 20.<\/p>\n

While you cannot stop or even slow down the intrinsic aging process, you can prevent signs of premature aging by protecting your skin from the sun, quitting smoking, and eliminating facial exercises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
