KNOW YOUR SKIN TYPE

Your skin type largely determines the kind of skin care regimen you need to follow, the products you should use and the overall precautionary care you should use, whether it is oily, dry, normal or combination skin you have.

To know your skin type, you can do a simple self-test that should be done the first thing in the morning after you get up from sleep. To do this, take a dry tissue and wipe your face carefully but thoroughly. If you see some oil on the tissue, you definitely have an oily skin. Similarly, if you find grease only on the centre panel, this implies that you have a combination skin, with an oily T-zone.

In case the tissue comes out clean then you have a dry or normal skin. To end, you will know that you a dry skin if your skin is left feeling too tight, taut or overstretched.

HELP FOR CURING STRETCH MARKS

Stretch marks basically occur when the skin loses its elasticity and resilience due to over stretching. There are various reasons why your skin could undergo overstretching at various stages in life. The most important amongst them include excessive weight gain or loss and pregnancy.

As the repeated research studies have shown, stretch marks can never be fully cured once they have occurred. The cracks that have occurred in the elastic fibers below the skin can never be repaired. Hence the main aim of treatment of stretch marks is to lighten the stretch marks. There are various specialized creams which you can apply before as well as after your delivery for this purpose.

Another important step to be taken is to follow preventive care in pregnancy and at the time you are gaining or losing excess weight. There are special pre-bath creams and stretch mark creams that can be used for this.

UNDER EYE BAGS AND DARK CIRCLES - ARE THEY SAME?

It is a common belief that the ugly looking eye bags and dark under-eye circles are the same thing. Surprisingly, they are not!

For beginners, the under-eye bags are almost always hereditary by nature. They look just like pouches, right under the eyes and appear to be adding further years to the face. In a few cases, factors like sinus, urinary tract infections and kidney ailments also lead to the development of these bags.

On the other hand, the under eye dark circles are mostly caused by a lack of sleep, fatigue, stress or a dietary deficiency. The under eye bags are best cured by having lots of fluids to flush the toxins, while in some cases even medication can be required. Meanwhile, for the dark under eye circles, suitable creams have to be applied and the appropriate diet has to be taken.
