Your skin has the ability to heal, renew and protect itself with the proper care. The causes of skin imperfections include hormonal changes, reduction in collagen production, free-radical damage, poor nutrition, solar radiation and pollution. If you have problem skin, choose products that optimize your skin’s ability to repair itself.
Broken Capillaries: Dry, delicate or mature skin that is thin and fragile is most susceptible to broken capillaries. When blood no longer pumps through the tiny capillaries and the capillary walls weaken, they lose their elasticity, collapse and become visible on the surface. Abrasive cleansers and facial scrubs, alcohol, caffeine, certain drugs, harsh cosmetics, forceful massage, cold weather, extreme winds, overexposure to the sun and spicy foods can all be triggers. Protecting your skin in cold or windy weather can help prevent broken capillaries. Bioflavonoid supplements may reduce redness and strengthen capillaries. Use gentle products that contain aloe and essential oils of lavender and chamomile to help soothe capillaries.
Age Spots: Blotches of pigmentation may result from perfumes, excessive sun exposure or the interaction of medications (such as birth control pills) and sun exposure. In responses, your skin has tried to protect itself by producing an overabundance of melanin — the pigmented cells in your skin. The most important thing you can do to prevent new age spots is to wear sunscreen when exposed to sunlight.
You can repair your skin with products containing antioxidants, such as vitamin C, that have been shown to clarify skin and help to reverse dye effects of sun damage. Licorice extract is nature’s most subtle and yet effective skin lightener. It has depigmenting effects and inhibits melanin synthesis.
Uneven Skin: Discoloration can also be the result of inflammation caused by acne, harsh chemicals or trauma. Uneven skin is typically from poor skin care and large pore size. Other causes are seborrhea dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and its cousin, perioral dermatitis. For uneven skin, my most popular treatment is self-heating microdermabrasion crystals that are made with micronized bamboo. Again, vitamin C comes to the rescue with its ability to even out skin tone and boost collagen production, reduce skin damage caused by free radicals and improve skin texture.
Rosacea: Although the cause of the disorder is unknown, it is clear that rosacea is aggravated by extremes of temperature, sunlight, alcohol, hot drinks, spicy foods and emotional stress. They cause the already congested and weakened blood vessels to dilate even further and the skin’s sensitive surface to become irritated and inflamed. People with naturally thin skin may also be more prone to the condition.
Rosacea is typically found in light-skinned patients and may be exacerbated by estrogens or changes in hormones. Tartar control toothpaste can also provoke it. For rosacea-prone skin skin-care products are recommended that contain green tea extract, which has a calming effect. For rosacea and broken capillaries you need avoid products that contain alcohol, a lot of fragrance or antiaging ingredients, such as high concentrations of vitamin C or glycolic acid. Also chemical-free sun protection is recommended.
Acne: Acne is typically caused by the interaction of bacteria, hormones and sebum (oil from the hair follicle). A conscientious skin-care regime can combat some causes. Use a weekly facial scrub followed by a facial mask. Spot-treating blemishes with a formulation of bacteria-fighting essential oils such as tea tree, neroli or lemon oil can help them heal faste.
Use cleansers and topical treatments designed for acne-prone skin and avoid anything, including sunscreens, that are not explicitly non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic. Supplementing with B vitamins and zinc may also help. Green tea and lavender have both been shown to have antibacterial properties when used topically.

Stretch Marks Defined
You have been hearing familiar concerns from people like how to lose stretch marks but may not be aware what they are and how they come about. Stretch marks are the visible pale white lines commonly seen in the buttocks area, the thighs, the abdomen, and the arms and legs resulting from too much stretching of the skin causing tearing of the middle layer or the dermis. They usually appear because of the following instances:
Prevention of Stretch Marks
Yes, you heard it right. Stretch marks may be prevented. The key factor in preventing formation of stretch marks is to maintain the elasticity of the skin. It has been observed that those who have been consistently moisturizing the skin over a period of time with vitamins and oils have a lesser probability to have stretch marks. A more natural way of skin maintenance is by eating a healthy diet and drinking sufficient amount of water. The different organs of the body-and that includes the skin, which is the largest of them all-need to have constant and the right amount of hydration to make it work properly and at the same time remove toxins from the body. It takes patience and persistence in taking care of the skin, but in time, you will be rewarded with a beautiful and healthy glowing skin.
Reduction and Elimination of Stretch Marks
There are times when stretch mark formation cannot be prevented. Although total elimination may not be possible, there are ways to reduce its visibility, and this includes:
The Effective Solution
Retinol has come up with a product answering the problem on how to lose stretch marks. Revitol Stretch Mark Prevention Cream works by preventing and eliminating scars. It strengthens the skin and improves its elasticity and at the same time works inward to improve cells growth and production.

Whenever body suffers any injury, the body rushes its soldiers to protect itself. Acne infection is also an injury that needs repair and body sends white blood cells and other molecules that fight the infection and repair the infected site. After the repairing job is completed, a scar forms that is the sign of repair. Skin never becomes as smooth as it was before the acne. Some scar is always left. Let us find out more about acne scars and how doctors can repair them so that you get something similar to your earlier look again.
Types Of acne scars- before we discuss about the type of scars, let us also note that everyone has different tendency of scar formation. Some people develop very less scars, while others may have major scars for the same type of acne. Acne scars are of two types- scars that are caused by loss of tissue and scars caused by increased tissue formation.
Depressed Scars- these scars may be of different types such as Ice-pick scars, depressed fibrotic scars, soft scars and macular types. As the cyst expands with pus, bacteria, oil and dead skin cells it ruptures and attacks the dermis. to protect the dermis the white blood cells rush in. This rupture may cause loss of collagen giving rise to deep recess or depression. The skin above is left unsupported because of loss of tissue below it and a saucer shaped or jagged ice pick scar is formed. Ice pick scars are more common on face.
Keloids- In some people the scar forms in a reverse fashion. With the loss of collagen, body triggers fibroblasts that produce excessive collagen producing scar tissues called keloids. Keloids are more commonly found on male torsos. Other type of increased tissue formation scar is called hypertrophic scar. Hypertrophy means overgrowth.
Scar Treatment- scars can be treated by your dermatologist using different treatments. Before proceeding for scar treatment, you have to discuss your feelings about the scars with your doctor. The cost involved may also play a role in choosing the treatment. What results you desire is the third factor. The severity of the scar, the location and type of treatments that can be done are other factors that have to be used to treat acne scars. The common treatments for acne scars are- collagen treatment, laser treatment, dremabrasion, microdermabrasion, skin surgery, skin grafting etc. Keloids may be left untreated if it is felt that treatment will form further keloids. Injecting with steroid injections may also treat keloids.
