Skin Asthma And How To Treat Them 06/03/2011
 http://edition.presstv.ir/ For many people, skin asthma is a condition they have never heard of. Actually, it is more commonly known as eczema and is a form of atopic dermatitis meaning the skin is predisposed to being highly sensitive to allergens and this causes inflammation of the skin. Eczema is a chronic condition that if a person who has it does not take proper care of his skin, he will really suffer. The most visible signs of skin asthma appears on the face, hands, feet and trunk. Red and scaly patches sprout like wild mushrooms during flare ups. Though it may come and go because it is highly dependent on the external condition such as weather, environment, dust, chemicals, detergents and smoke, it is very somewhat insufferable to deal with the flare ups every once in a while. And so preventing skin asthma attacks is the key. One of the most important thing people who suffer from skin asthma should do is to moisturize. While there are so many moisturizers out in the market, it is very important that a person with eczema should make sure that he is using a natural and organic moisturizer because chemicals and fragrances can cause a flare up. This being said, one might suffer an attack instead of preventing it in the first place. One can also use soaps or bath gels that do not dry the skin.  Using something that is rich in moisturizing ingredients such as olive oil, cocoa butter, and virgin coconut oil can do many wonders for the skin. Virgin Coconut Oil, for example, is rich in lauric gel and is very powerful in soothing dry skin. Lauric gel repairs damaged cells and promotes it regeneration. People who suffer skin asthma can definitely count on organic personal care products to help them alleviate their skin condition. Get your organic and all-natural skin care products here.

Aloe vera is not only good in treating sun burnt skin, it is also effective in treating small cuts, scrapes, insect bites and other skin irritations. The availability of aloe vera in gel and lotion forms make it possible for a greater number of people to conveniently experience the benefits of aloe vera. Just make sure that the aloe vera product that you will be using contains all natural ingredients that are not only effective but safe to the skin. When it comes to sunburn, prevention is still better than cure. But sometimes even the most stringent measures are not enough to prevent the sun's rays from burning the skin. When that happens, it is comforting to know that you can rely on aloe vera.

Exfoliating is not just about rubbing your skin. It's also about finding the best exfoliating tools to do the right job for your skin. Take for example your heels and elbows where your skin is usually rough. These rough spots need more exfoliating action from the scrubbing medium to effectively clear out those dead skin cells.  Loofah & Gloves > This is a mainstay tool that most bathrooms have. Moisten the loofah well so it will soften and apply a shower gel for easy scrubbing. While it is effective in scrubbing and removing the top layer of the epidermis, it is also a hotel for bacteria so always remember to thoroughly rinse it to wash off dirt and traces of soap. A better way of rinsing it is by running it under warm water and then hang the loofah to dry.   Pumice Stone > Pumice is a light, porous lava ejected from a volcano. It is best used in rough spots like heels and elbows. It is also great for callouses.  Body Brush > This can either be used dry or wet. When using it wet, moisten it well and use a shower gel for easier exfoliation. Dry brushing is also very beneficial for the skin not only because it removes layers of dead skin but it also tightens the skin to prevent premature aging, stimulates circulation, promotes movement of the lymphatic system, increases your level of stimulation, reduces skin infections and irritations and of course, it softens and smoothens your skin.  Buffing Sponge > Sponges are best for dry and sensitive skin. Use with a gently cleanser and match it with gentle circular scrubbing motion.  Microdermabrasion > Also known as Microderm, it is a cosmetology procedure used in most day spas and medical spas. Procedure is not very painful and does not require anaesthetic. There are several types of microdermabrasion like Crystal Microderm, Diamond Microderm and Home Microderm. It is designed not only to remove layers of dead skin cells but also to reduce scars, lesions, stretch marks, etc. This procedure is quite expensive and require frequent visits to take effect.  Exfoliation Creams > These are creams, gels, polishes, body scrubs that contain grains or beads that gently exfoliates the skin. Always look at the ingredients of the scrub creams that you are buying because some of them might contain plastic micro beads that can cause harm to your skin and to our environment. Remember to choose products that contain only natural and organic ingredients so you can be sure that only the best products come in contact with your skin. **Trivia: Did you know that plastic microbeads are also called Nurdles or Mermaid Tears. They are plastic resin pellets and is a major contributor to marine debris. Marine life is threatened with these nurdles because creatures like krill and other small fishes choke on these plastic pellets and die prematurely and instantaneously.  Salts & Sugars > You can make your own salt or sugar scrub by mixing it with a healthy oil such as olive oil or virgin coconut oil. Choose only the best ingredients for your exfoliating needs. Choose SPA Ingredients. :) Click here to check out our organic body scrubs or click here to see our luxurious Epsom salt scrubs. Exfoliate: Doing It The Right Way 07/22/2009
