Keeping That Party Girl Skin Glowing and Healthy

Too many nights spent dancing, smoking, eating and drinking will surely take a toll on one's skin. The oil in pulutan, the drying effects on skin from smoking and drinking, and that haggard appearance from lack of sleep will certainly encourage the growth of acne on one's skin. Having acne when you need to party and meet people is a terrifying prospect!

Good thing we have many options to prevent the appearance of acne on our party skin's appeal:

1. Always wash away makeup off your face before going to bed. No matter how tired, drunk or sleepy you are, leaving makeup on your skin all night will clog pores and increase oil production.
  • Wash with a mild facial wash, preferably made with milk.
  • Then pat dry with a soft towel.
  • Please do not rub vigorously.

2. Avoid using facial and skin products with harsh chemicals. The tightening of the skin after a facial scrub or application of astringent is no indication you are doing the best thing for your skin. Follow up with a moisturizer to avoid stripping your skin of natural oils and needed moisture.

3. Let your skin have a holiday, too! Have a facial once a week or twice a month. Scrub away dead skin and dirt and then moisturize. Use natural ingredients as much as possible.

4. If the acne looks worse, you can use available acne complex ointments and lotions bought over the counter or from shelves. The most effective acne treatments so far are from dermatological clinics. But if you prefer doing it your self you can buy a set of Murad acne complex treatment from the Murad acne site. Applying other brands that have not been proven to be effective may be hazardous. However, it doesn't mean we endorse Murad only. Other brands with a trusted name will do well instead of ones that may less expensive but may hurt your skin more than help it.

5. Always detox after a night of partying. Drink lots of juice to replenish the loss of Vitamin C in your body to regenerate new skin cells and help your organs process toxins away.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
