Acne Scars Treatments - Good News

 

Good news!  There is no reason to continue suffering from acne scars. It doesn't matter if you have deep, pitted scars, or relatively minor ones, there are acne scars treatments available that can help you. These treatments cover everything to inexpensive home remedies to fairly pricey procedures that can only be performed by a medical professional.

 

Which option you choose will depend on several factors:

 - How many scars you currently have

 - How severe the scarring is

 - The amount of time you are able to take to get rid of the acne scars

 - How much money you have to spend

- Whether past treatments have worked

In most cases it is best to wait until you are done with your acne outbreaks before getting treatment for any scarring you may have. After all, you wouldn't want to pay to have scars removed only to have a new outbreak that can cause more scars.

You should always check with your doctor or a dermatologist before trying any of the several acne scars treatments that are available. With that word of caution in mind, here are some options you may want to try:

 

1. Home remedy acne scars treatments. There isn't a lot of medical evidence to back up claims about the effectiveness of home remedies, but many people use them and swear they work. Gently applying vitamin E or olive oil seems to moisturise the skin and reduce scarring, especially if you catch it early. Some people like to use lemon juice, but others find it to be too acidic, so be sure to test it on a small area of the skin first.

2. Medication for acne scars. You can go to the chemist and find several products that will help with acne which can minimise future scarring. There are also products that are made to reduce scarring, so you may want to give those a try. Another option is to talk to your doctor about prescription medications that you can use.

3. Acne scar procedures. There are also a few good options that require a visit to a doctor or an aesthetician. Lasers basically burn away old skin cells and promote the growth of healthier new cells. IPL (Intense Pulse Light) does the same basic thing.

Dermabrasion is another of the acne scars treatments that removes old skin so new skin can take its place. Chemical peels are another option that removes skin, but many people are sensitive to this procedure; however, if your dermatologist believes you can tolerate it, then it's worth a shot.

 

As you can see, there are several acne scars treatments that are available to you. However, none of them will do you any good if you just read about them. Instead you need to take action. See, you don't have to live with unsightly scars from acne, so go ahead and take the first step now toward looking your best.

I have stumbled upon a really fun website, that kept me entertained for a while and to even purchase.

It offers loads of different contact lenses, running from your average coloured contacts, to ones with barbwire, smiley faces, cats eyes, dollar signs. They have all the colours of the rainbow, even if you don't buy any it makes interesting browsing.

I purchased the blue ultra violet ones. I guess I'm going clubbing at the weekend. I wish I got the pale pink one now, mmm maybe next week.

Look Years Younger

 

Oh yes, the age-old quest for the Fountain of Youth. It has always been a powerful symbol, and in past centuries was a driving force in the exploration of the New World. However, in modern times the fountain is nothing more than an advertising promise for people to looks years younger.

The good news is that you really can look younger than you do now. It will take commitment and adopting some good habits. You will also want to use a combination of home remedies as well as some of the cutting-edge skin care products that are now available. Let's take a look at these things now, and soon you will start to see the difference as years are virtually erased from your appearance.

 

The very first thing you need to do is work on looking younger from the inside out. Nothing makes a person older than a bad attitude. Think about the people you know who are young, but seem "old", and then think about their attitude. Not too good is it? See, how you feel on the inside is reflected back to the world on the outside. If you are mad that you're getting older, then you will act older, and that means people will perceive you as being older. So, one of the quickest ways to look years younger is to have a good attitude.

The next thing you can do to look more youthful is to take care of your skin; after all, that's the first thing most people will look at when trying to guess how old you are. There are several things you can do to have younger looking skin, such as staying hydrated, using the right moisturizer, not getting too much sun, using a sunblock when you go outside, and quitting smoking (if you happen to be a smoker). Those few things alone will have a dramatic impact on making you look years younger.

 

One thing that doesn't really work for looking younger is plastic surgery. While it technically can remove wrinkles and other signs of aging, it will make you look...well, like you had plastic surgery. Just because you will presumably look younger doesn't mean you will actually look better. That being said, there are some non-surgical cosmetic procedures that can help you to look years younger. For example, laser treatments to remove small wrinkles or age spots.

 

Staying physically fit through a healthy diet and exercise routine can also work wonders. You don't have to become obsessed with every second of every day (that would be unhealthy), instead, just try to eat wholesome foods and get yourself moving. Something as simple as having a serving of fruit for breakfast, a salad with lunch (watch the dressing), and a nice walk after supper will help you to feel better and look younger.

As you can see, there are plenty of ways that you can look years younger. However, be sure that you maintain the right perspective on things. It's an awesome feeling to look younger and now you can.

How to look ten years younger in a day! Ok maybe not ten years but it grabbed your attention.

1. Have your eyebrows professionally shaped - if you have got bushy eyebrows this can give you an instant facelift by opening the eyes. If you have stuck with the same shape for the past twenty years, now is the time to change. Get with the times. A professional eyebrow technician can advise how to grow them, to get a better shape. They will show you how to fill in any gaps, until you have got the correct shape. For people who have over plucked, resulting in very thin eyebrows, then semi permanent make up is an excellent choice. This lasts two to five years.

2. Have a professional facial – there are lots of anti ageing facials that can improve the appearance of older skin. Facial peels will help to remove age spots, soften fine lines whilst stimulating skins natural collagen and elasticity. They exfoliate the skin at a deeper level.

3. Have your make up professionally applied – this doesn’t have to cost a fortune most department stores offer free application if you purchase a product off them. A lot of women fall into the trap of wearing the same make up for the past ten years. Make up has changed dramatically. What may have suited you at eighteen years of age, will definitely not suit you now. 

4. A new hairstyle – A hairstyle that is styled to an inch of its life is very ageing. Try experimenting with colour and a more relaxed carefree hairstyle. This gives the appearance of youthfulness.

5. Whiter smile – yes, I’m sorry to say all them years of red wine and coffee will have stained your teeth, making you look older. For those of you who smoke, it will be even worse. Fortunately you can remove those stains and get your teeth up to 15 shades whiter in one hour, with professional teeth whitening.

There are many other ways to appear younger than your years. The secret is to improve what you have got. Be careful not to go to the extreme as you don’t want to look like mutton dressed as lamb.

A Detoxifying Cleanse Can Boost Your Energy

Have your energy levels dropped for no apparent reason?  When your body isn’t being nurtured properly it can shut down.  This shut down isn't an immediate cessation of function but individual systems begin to slow down to conserve energy. 

Your metabolism slows, glandular functions are hampered and the body itself will start to lose power and strength.  The first thing you may notice is that you experience fatigue all the time and just can't seem to get it together. Before you reach for another cup of coffee or other energy boosting concoction consider a detoxifying cleanse. 

Think of your body as a car engine.  What would happen if you never changed the oil in your car?  As you can imagine, engine performance would slowly decline and you'd have to push harder on the gas to get up to speed. 

Have you ever tried to get onto the highway in a car with poorly performing engine?  Instead of going 0 to 60 in 5 seconds, it takes 10.  Your body is the same way, our bodies can become sluggish if waste, poisons, toxins, chemicals, and other harmful substances are not periodically flushed out with a detoxifying cleanse.

Most of us assume that our body can naturally rid itself of all of the toxins and waste matter that we're exposed to. While this is true in optimal conditions, the British 21st century diet consists of preservatives, refined sugar and other chemicals that prevent our bodies from operating at optimal levels.  Some of these toxins and waste are difficult for our bodies to remove and as these toxins accumulate your body begins to grow ill or tire easily.

 

Getting your energy back...

One of the ways to regain your energy is to allow your body to repair itself and you can help it along by getting rid of all the accumulated waste. 

This is easily done with a detoxifying cleanse that flushes everything out of your system. You begin by drinking mostly fluids and eating only healthy, fresh foods. If it comes in a package don't eat it.  There are many cleansing programs on the market that can but to supplement your cleanse. 

Check the products labels of any cleansing programs and make sure that the ingredients are all natural.  If you don't know what a listed ingredient is don’t use it.

Before you reach for caffeine or a cola as a pick me up consider that your lack of energy may be caused by something as simple as an abundance of waste.  A detoxifying cleanse is such a simple thing to do for your health and your energy.

Vitamins for Your Skin-Do Your Best To Get Then From Food

 

Taking care of your skin is the best thing you can do to improve your overall appearance. There are several different skin products that may help, but you also need to address the underlying issue by making sure you are getting the best vitamins for your skin.

At this point most people will run to the store and buy a multi-vitamin that looks good, but there are two major problems with doing this:

1. You should do your best to get your nutrition form the foods you eat, not from a supplement. No matter how good the nutritional supplement is, it simply cannot contain all of the micronutrients found in food. Of course there are times when you may not be able to eat as well as you should, and then a multi-vitamin may be better than nothing, but you should still make it a goal to eat well.

2. Not all store-bought vitamins are the same. There is no doubt that you can buy a mass quantity of vitamins at a very low price. But you need to ask yourself if you want to be taking something "cheap". If you really want to take vitamins for your skin, then you should look for a formulation that contains several natural ingredients, and has a good balance of several nutrients. You may pay a little bit more, but it will be worth it if it means you're getting a better multi-vitamin.

Which vitamins you need will depend on what skin problems you have.

If you have acne, it may be due to not getting enough antioxidants, like vitamins A and E. These are found in a wide variety of brightly coloured fruits and vegetables, and vitamin E can also be found in nuts.

Inflammatory skin conditions can often be treated with omega-3 fatty acids. The best source for these is fish such as salmon and tuna. You can also take fish oil supplements, but make sure to check the label for how much omega-3 they contain.

For general skin health you should be sure to get enough of the following vitamins:

 

Biotin is a coenzyme that builds and repairs skin cells, and may also reduce the appearance of some blemishes.

Folic Acid gives you smoother skin and also minimizes wrinkles. 

Vitamin A increases the thickness of the dermis – where your collagen, elastin and blood capillaries are found – so it reduces wrinkles and improves blood circulation.

Vitamins B2, B3, B5, and B12 these are vital to the health of your skin. They help your skin to breathe more efficiently, and they also increase elasticity.

 Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant. It helps to battle the signs of ageing by stimulating the production of collagen in your skin.

Vitamin E is an anti oxidant that destroys free radicals, therefore protecting and repairing the skin.

Vitamin K can help to reduce dark circles from under the eyes. This vitamin increases the blood flow to the tiny capillaries in this area.

Zinc for healthy skin and hair no diet should be without this mineral. Lack of zinc can result in hair loss. A good supply of zinc in the diet helps the skin to heal from acne, blemishes and skin rashes. It helps wounds to heal quicker acting as an anti inflammatory.

COQ10 is an effective antioxidant helping to neutralise free radicals, which are one of the causes for premature ageing. It can help to repair and regenerate the skin eliminating free radical damage.  

 

When it comes to vitamins for your skin, it's important that you make sure you are getting them from the best possible sources. You should do your best to get the vitamins you need from the food you eat. Taking a vitamin supplement is acceptable, if you take the time to make sure the supplement is worth taking. Your skin is one of the first things people notice about you. Having healthy skin means you will look better, and you will feel better as well.
