As a person ages, wrinkles naturally appear on the skin. Wrinkles form because of habitual facial expressions, such as smiling or frowning. However, skin damage from too much exposure to the sun's UV rays, smoking, and poor hydration are also major culprits in wrinkle formation.

Women, more often than men, worry about the effects of aging on their appearance that many turned to cosmetic surgery to keep their appearance young-looking. Others who have been blessed with good genes to start with have maintained their appearance using the best face wrinkle cream in the market.

The science of aging has gone a step further by resorting to revolutionary techniques, such as bone restructuring. A study by physicians at the University of Rochester Medical Center indicates that significant changes in facial bones – particularly the jaw bone – occur as people age and contribute to an aging appearance.

The angle of the jaw increases markedly with age, which results in a loss of definition of the lower border of the face. This loss of bony volume may contribute sagging facial skin, decreased chin projection, and loss of jaw-line definition. The study suggests that in the future facial surgery may be two-fold: first restoring structure underneath before performing skin-tightening procedures.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

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.
