Perfect skin care guide

According to dermatologists, analysing how hydrated your face is and how it produces oils will dictate the correct skin care products. This analysis can help when you are deciding what cleanser, moisturizer and exfoliator to use during your skin care. A skin analysis gives your skin the opportunity to be examined and studied by an expert. Dehydration skin analysis involves measuring the amount of water the skin has versus the water it can retain.

Using skin analysis tool, the reading of 30 or below means the skin is severely dehydrated, between 30 to 50 means its somewhat dehydrated and above 50 means it is hydrated. Hydration level will determine what areas in the skin care routine might need improvement.

Ultraviolet light is used to check for sun damage and determine if the t-zone is active. Some people experience dryness in their skin because they over clean their skin to remove oil, skin has to retain essential oils in order to keep it hydrated. Using ultraviolet light, estheticians can determine the activeness of the t-zone and if the skin is oily, normal or dry.

Knowing your skin type and problem areas you want to solve can help you understand what works best for each phase of the skin care routine. Get a gentle cleanser that fits your specific skin type: sensitive, normal, dry, combination or oily. Use a gentle cleanser to clean your face, rub the product gently onto the face until it lathers. Circular motions are important because it gets the blood flowing in the skin and allows the product to reach deep into the pores.

Use toner to get rid of oils and dead skin that might be left behind during the cleansing phase. Applying serum after the toner, it adds nutrients to all the layers of the skin. Addition of serum can correct uneven texture, dark marks or dehydration. Then apply moisturizer with SPF during the day to protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Use an exfoliator to remove dead skin cells that are left behind in the pores. You can do this weekly.

Some moles become melanoma

Moles are growths on the skin that are usually brown or black. They can appear in groups or alone in any parts of the body. As we get older, some moles can change in colour or disappear while others may remain the same.

Moles occur when cells in the skin grow in a cluster instead of being spread throughout the skin. Melanoma is a type of skin cancer, it developed when unrepaired DNA damage skin cells.

Melanomas often resemble moles; some develop from moles. Melanomas can develop from a naevus, but most moles will never become a melanoma.

Dermatologists examined some moles and discovered some had a mutation on the gene known as BRAF, and the remaining samples had a mutation on the NRAS gene.

When either of these genes are mutated it activates the signalling pathway known as MAPK, which is commonly active in melanomas.

Additional genomic events need to occur before a mole becomes malignant. People with a high number of moles, and other risk like fair skin or light coloured hair or eyes, should continue to keep appointment with their dermatologist for regular skin examination.

Manicure increases risk of skin cancer

According to dermatologists, manicure can increase risk of infection and skin cancer. Gel manicures involves the use of UV rays to set the polish on finger nails for firm attachment.

Nail is an extension of skin, any chemical applied on the nail will affect the skin. Regular exposure of finger nails to dangerous rays may cause premature aging for the fingers and skin cancer.

Cuticles protect the fingernails from bacteria and fungus, cutting cuticles exposed the fingers to infections in traditional manicure. Cuticles can be pushed from nails gently during manicure than cutting.

Improperly sanitized tools can transmit diseases from one user to another. You can prevent this by going to salon with your manicure tools.
