Depilation method is where hair is removed from above the skin and Epilation is where hair is removed below the skin. Each of these methods has their own advantages and disadvantages.

Various Depilatory methods:

• Depilatory creams:These creams have chemicals which help in dissolving the hair. There are various types and brands available. It is advised that you first try the cream out in a small portion of your skin first before using it full time since it can cause reactions to some skin types.

Eepilatory Methods:

• Plucking: Plucking involves pulling the hair strands one by one with the help of a pair of tweezers. This type of hair removal process is done mostly in the facial area to clear of any unwanted stray hair strands.

•  Waxing: Waxing is done with the help of a pore strip. You have to apply cold or warm wax over the area you want hairless. It is similar to plucking and it often used on legs and under arms. Another form of waxing is there called sugaring. This process follows the same principles, but is made with sugar instead of wax.

• Threading: This is also similar to plucking and it involves a thread being pulled taut against your skin. The thread is rolled on your skin and a firm pull or jerk plucks the hair which is caught in the thread.

Permanent hair removal methods:

•  Electrolysis: This is a truly permanent hair removal method since it doesn’t allow any hair to grow afterwards. A very thin needle is used to electrocute the hair follicles destroying it. This is done on a follicle by follicle basis, so the procedure takes a long time.

•  Laser: This method is the most modern one. It involves a laser or a beam of light being targeted to the melanin which gives the skin and hair its colour. It heats and destroys the hair follicles, but doesn’t damage the surrounding skin.

Arm Yourself Against Acne

“Minimal amounts of sun exposure may initially lead to some acne improvement, but prolonged exposure promotes more rapid exfoliation, which clogs pores and leads to more breakouts,” says a report published by the University of Mississippi Medical Center. This is a typical example of how confusing the realm of acne can be. We often receive conflicting advice from well-meaning friends and relatives, who only want to help us tackle our acne, but end up making us feel helpless. It is, therefore, important to understand the facts before we are able to decide on a treatment for acne.

Facts about Pimples

There are several myths shrouding one of the most common phenomena in the realm of skin disasters. Here’s a look at three of the most prevalent of them.

1.      Acne is not caused by dirt: Contrary to age-old popular misconception, acne is in fact caused by build-up of oil produced by the skin, which clogs the pores and reacts with bacteria to cause inflammation.

2.      Diet does not cause acne: While it can be a trigger, it is not usually the cause. The cause is more likely hereditary or hormonal.

3.      Acne cannot be cured: There are several tips that people will give you, including waiting it out till you are older, for your acne to be cured. The fact is that although it is incurable, there are effective treatments for acne.

Treatment for Acne

Anyone who has fought the recurrent battle with pimple outbreaks knows how disheartening it can be. While home treatments can improve the condition of your skin, if you have a hereditary disposition to acne, it continues to resurface. This is why expert dermatological treatments are recommended to anyone who has a severe case.

Most Effective Treatments

1.      Derma Roller: This is recommended in extreme cases, when breakouts reach a severity that cannot be tackled with antibiotics and Benzoyl Peroxide, which are over the counter drugs. This technique involves pin pricks that simulate the skin to regenerate and heal itself. It is known to be quite effective once all four sessions have been completed.

2.      Fractional Laser: Low-intensity application of high-frequency (100 to 150 Khz) current that generates ozone are shot into the epidermis, which results in improved circulation and has antibacterial properties. This, coupled with facial cleansing and neutral facial peels, can help fight acne. The treatment must be repeated every month for best results.

While recurrent acne can be frustrating and demoralizing, you must keep your chin up and not stress. Remember that pimples feed on stress; they usually flee a happy face.

This article attempts to provide a direction to the prospective consumers – how to decide on which the best skin care products are for you.

Guide to choosing the right products

With the inflow of a diverse range of products in the skin care market, it is ever more confusing to determine which ones to use. Over experimentation could result in skin damage and underutilisation could result in improper care. Therefore, it is essential that one makes an informed choice.

• Know your skin type: You should have a session with a dermatologist even if you have no skin problems so that you can get expert assessment of your skin. Once you know your skin type, it is easier to find the products that will be best suited to you. Irrespective of your type, a regular routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing is recommended for all.

• Know your skin problems: Most people suffer from some degree of sun damage and it is advisable that you have your skin analysed under a microscope to prevent it from getting worse. Dermatologists believe that broad spectrum sunscreen lotions that offer protection from both Ultraviolet A and B rays are some of the best skin care products available.

• Know your allergens: While choosing to use a product on your most sensitive organ – your skin, you must ascertain whether the item contains ingredients that you may develop allergic reactions to. It is a good choice to spot check first and then apply widely. Natural ingredients tend to be safer, although each product could have a different impact on unique skin types.

• Know which products are compatible: You may have checked the veracity of the products but it is also important to know whether they are compatible when applied in succession. Some products will tell you that for best results you should team them with others. Find a combination that works for you.

The skin care market is set to expand further over the next five years, which means more choice, but also more confusion in making decisions. This is why it is essential to know your skin intimately before you can decide on the best skin care products for you. Consult a professional dermatologist for an expert assessment and be sure of your nurture regimen.
