Best Skin Care Cream

Which is the best skin care cream to protect from sun?

Also..........what is acne, how does it occur and what is the best type of treatment currently?

Acne results from the obstruction and inflammation of the sebaceous glands, and it affects 80% of the population. Acne typically begins in adolescence with hormonal changes. However, there are many older individuals who suffer from adult onset acne.

Q: WHAT IS PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY?

A: Photodynamic therapy is a process by which a photosensitizing agent (Levulan) is applied to your skin. It is then activated with a specific wavelength of light, which “turns on” the topical solution. Levulan has been used for the treatment of a variety of different skin conditions, and it is approved by the FDA for the treatment of precancerous lesions and sun damaged skin.

Q: HOW IS PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY WITH LEVULAN DIFFERENT FROM ACCUTANE?

A: Prior to Photodynamic Therapy, the best available treatment option for cystic acne was Accutane. However, Accutane is associated with many systemic side effects including birth defects, liver abnormalities, mood swings, depression, and virtually all patients experience eye dryness and night vision changes. Photodynamic Therapy provides a safer, viable alternative for all types of acne treatments.

Q: WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WITH PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY?

A: Photodynamic Therapy is a relatively simple procedure. First, Levulan is applied to the skin and left on for 30-60 minutes. It is then activated with a specific light source. The procedure takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Photodynamic Therapy has been used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including moderate to severe acne, certain types of precancerous skin lesions, acne rosacea, and sun damaged skin. Additionally, skin oiliness is decreased and pores are minimized, leading to a overall improved skin texture

Well,The most important take care of your skin is protected from life sun.A exposure to sunlight can cause wrinkles, freckles, age spots and rough, dry skin.Smoking makes your skin look older and helps wrinkles.Smoking shrinks small blood vessels in the outermost layers of the skin, which decreases blood flow.Strong soaps can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins.Uncontrolled stress may make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems

Read the label at the back of the lotion if it has higher SPF formula to prevent skin from ultra violet rays cause by sun.

As for younger looking and more healthy skin, here are three causes of aging of our skin:

1 - Losing callogen and elastin

2 - Reduced levels of hyaluronic acid

3 - Free radical oxidation

First, about callogen and elastin. Wrinkles and lines start forming as we get older and begin losing collagen and elastin. The protein called keratin is needed by the body for the normal production of collagen and elastin.

And it is possible to increase the body's levels naturally of keratin which in turn, can increase the levels of both collagen and elastin. The result will be a slow but sure disappearing of wrinkles and fine lines to a more healthy and radiant skin.

Hyaluronic Acid, as well as collagen and elastin, is necessary for the skin to be smooth, elastic and healthy looking. Collagen and elastin fibers need hyaluronic acid which performs as a kind of glue to hold these fibers together in a healthy way.

It has been established that an enzyme called hyaluronidase reduces the body's levels of hyaluronic acid, so if one can inhibit the actions of this enzyme, healthier levels of needed hyaluronic acid can be achieved.

Free radical oxidation produces damaged cells, so if oxidation can be slowed, healthier cells can be the result. Also, the UV-A in sunlight damages the skin and protection against this form of damage will result in healthier skin.

Use a good quality skin care and anti aging products. Using the high quality skin care, which includes wonderful natural ingredients such as shea butter and evening primrose oil, helps keep skin soft and supple. A quality product also helps to reduce wrinkles and fine lines and keep your skin tone, too.

Pure virgin coconut oil is the best natural ingredient for skin lotion available.  It prevents destructive free-radical formation and provides protection against them.  It can help to keep the skin from developing liver spots, and other blemishes caused by aging and over exposure to sunlight.  It helps to keep connective tissues strong and supple so that the skin doesn't sag and wrinkle.  In some cases it might even restore damaged or diseased skin.  The oil is absorbed into the skin and into the cell structure of the connective tissues, limiting the damage excessive sun exposure can cause.

I am always looking for good skin care products.

There are plenty skin care creams are available in the market and it is too difficult to choose a best skin care cream. Here are some best skin care creams are, M.D. Forte Hand & Body Cream, SkinCeuticals Primacy Hydra Balm, La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lipid-Replenishing Body Milk, La Roche-Posay Lipikar Xerand Hand Repair Cream.

I think Olivem 800, is a breakthrough from natural olive oil emulsifier. This component mixture has been formulated to deeply penetrate the inner skin to provide hydration and nutrition.
