Common skin problems

January 30, 2009

A large number of factors may lead to some general skin problems, and getting to know abut them will help you control and protect your skin in a better way. Here are some of the skin problems and some useful solutions which can help you with your skin.

Freckles: Skin acquires freckles due to constant exposure in the sun. Freckles are the accumulation of pigments in the place where there a little or no pigments.  They are small black spots allover the face, especially on the areas of the nose, cheek bones and the forehead.

Care: Use a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher when going out in the sun. But it is best to avoid sun exposure as much as possible. One can also consult the dermatologist if they want to lessen them or remove them. However, freckles cause no problem to the skin.

Whiteheads: When the hardened oil or sebum accumulates in the skin pores, whiteheads are formed. They look like small white raised spots.

Care: Deep pore cleansing on a regular basis helps in preventing whiteheads. Never remove them forcibly, as it may cause infection to the skin. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables also helps. Consumption of lots of liquid helps in cleanses the body of toxins and helps in the removal of wastes.

Blackheads: When dead skin cells and the sebum block a hair follicle, it results in a blackhead. Oily skin attracts more dirt and it gets collected in the pores with the hardened oils. These blackheads make the pore larger in size, especially on oily skin. They are the main cause of acne and pimples.

Care: Use a medicated soap when washing the face and use lukewarm water, as it eliminates the oil from the skin and reduces the chances of infection. Splash as much water on the face as you can. This makes the skin dirt free. Avoid the use of oil based moisturizers.

Dark circles under the eyes: Lack of sleep is the main cause of dark circles. Fatigue, stress and dietary deficiency are also the factors involved. Eight hours of sleep is a must as it avoid strain on the eyes when doing some work using them.

Care: Take special care of the skin around the eye as it is very delicate. With the help of moist cotton wool, clean the skin around the eye every night you go to bed. Use a cream rich in almonds, as they are very good for the skin. Remember to remove the cream after 10 minutes.
