Skincare guide to deal with spots and blemishes Banish the blemish Don't panic! Little skin flare-ups can be prevented, cured and concealed following this easy-to-follow advice for a variety of common pimple problems. There's lots of good over-the-counter help and other safe solutions to try. Consult our guide for the best ways to keep your complexion clean and clear. Whitehead Blackhead Red/inflamed blemish Erupting spot Small spot Feel-it-coming blemish Whitehead Cure it: Whiteheads are closed comedones (the official word for blackheads) and should be extracted only by an experienced beautician or dermatologist. If you try it yourself, you may risk infection, making the situation worse and even causing scarring. As an alternative, try applying a gel or cream containing salicylic acid, which may help you to unplug the pores. Conceal it: Using a cotton bud or small, pointed concealer brush, apply a dot of thick concealer to the centre of the blemish, then lightly spread it to cover. Brush over with translucent powder. Prevent it: Regular facials can help prevent whiteheads because they will keep your pores clean. Dermatologists often prescribe a topical drug, either antibiotic creams or retinoids (like Retinova, Retin-A or Differin) to prevent whiteheads. You may also keep them at bay by washing with a mild cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic and glycolic acids. Blackhead Cure it: You may try using Pond's or Bioré Pore Strips to lift some blackheads. If you attempt to extract them yourself, be really careful. First, apply a hot (but not too hot) compress to soften the pores. With a tissue around your two fingers, gently squeeze the pore. If the oil plug isn't released, stop squeezing. Never squeeze facial skin hard enough to leave an imprint. Conceal it: Use a liquid spot-touch concealer. Dot the concealer on the area and blend with your fingers. If your skin is shiny, dust the area with powder. Prevent it: It's almost impossible to prevent blackheads. Once a week, steam your face to soften the oils that clog the pores and cleanse skin deep down using a mask. Use products that include salicylic or glycolic acids to keep pores clean. You might want to consider getting a facial every month to deep-clean pores. What's on next page? Red/inflamed blemish Cure it: Squeezing is a definite no-no. You can apply a good, topical benzoyl peroxide from Oxy or Neutrogena. A clay mask or drying lotion will also help draw out any impurities. Conceal it: It's difficult to cover an inflamed blemish, so you need a concealer that stays put. Dermablend is a good one to try because it has a thick consistency and is packed with pigment so it covers well. Always start with the smallest amount of concealer, and then build. Dab the concealer to the blemish with a small concealer brush or cotton bud, then gently cover. Clean the brush well after use to avoid re-infection. Prevent it: If red and inflamed pimples plague you it's time to see a dermatologist for a course of oral and topical treatments to prevent the condition. Once your acne is under control you can often prevent recurrences using over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic or glycolic acids. But a doctor can help you get to that point. Erupting spot Cure it: Cystic acne has the potential to leave deep scars and should never be squeezed. If it's an open pimple, apply an acne drying gel or lotion and let it run its course. If you have frequent outbreaks, visit a dermatologist for appropriate treatment. Conceal it: Sorry, you must not touch an erupting spot. Keep it clean with an astringent, but leave it alone until it dries out. If it is dry, apply a dab of a heavy concealer to the blemish with a cotton bud or a small acrylic-tipped brush. Prevent it: An occasional eruption can't be avoided. Dermatologists advise you to let it drain, keeping it covered with a benzoyl peroxide cream (or antibiotic like Neosporin). Never, never squeeze it. It will not make it go away or prevent future outbreaks. If you squeeze you are likely to break the swollen pore under the skin, causing a worse eruption. If they are common occurrences for you, you may have cystic acne; so make an appointment with a doctor. A dermatologist can prescribe antibiotics or give you other ways in which to control it. What's on next page? Small spot Cure it: Don't touch it. Wash the area gently and try a homeopathic acne cream. Conceal it: Cover the blemish with a dab of liquid foundation using a small concealer brush. Brush lightly with translucent powder to hold. Prevent it: It's bound to happen once in a while no matter what you do. Keep your skin clean and use non-comedogenic moisturisers and sunscreen (this means that they are tested to ensure they will not clog the pores). Make sure all your make-up is oil-free. Wash make-up brushes frequently and keep your hands away from your face. Feel-it-coming blemish Cure it: Ask your GP if an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drug might help ease the swelling. Sometimes applying ice to the area, whenever you feel like touching it, helps. Other than that, keep your hands off. Conceal it: Cover with a lightweight concealer cream or liquid foundation. Dab the cream on the area, and blend with finger. Prevent it: Use cleansers and moisturisers designed to prevent acne. And always remember to keep your hands away from your face. If what you feel coming is a large deep blemish that occurs frequently, it's time to see a dermatologist. These kinds of pimples can leave a scar. A dermatologist will recommend drugs that keep infections that cause acne from happening.

Dry skin after pregnancy

Send it to a friend! Dry skin after pregnancy I've just recently had a baby boy. Since I had my son, my hand and my fingers have dried out a lot. I seem to be getting some kind of infection at the side of my nails, and I've never had anything like this before. It's very sore and irritating and even my hair has gone dry. Could you give me an idea of how to treat or improve the condition of my hands? Vena Dr Trisha Macnair responds Most women find that after having a child the condition of their skin and hair changes - I speak from personal as well as medical experience as I've had very similar problems to you. There are several factors which contribute to these changes, especially to dryness of the skin. The most important ones to think about are: Changes in hormone levels While you're pregnant, the high levels of female hormones essential for changing your body to support the growing baby can have a dramatic effect on your skin and hair. Most women find their skin seems to bloom - and their hair is thicker and more luxurious when they're pregnant (partly because the rate of hair loss drops). There's also an increase in the blood supply to the skin and hair during pregnancy, which adds to this effect. Unfortunately, after you've had your baby, hormone levels fall back to pre-pregnancy levels and the circulation returns to normal. This usually means the improvements seen in pregnancy are lost. Sometimes skin and hair even return to a condition quite different to - or worse than - before the pregnancy. Part of what you're noticing may simply be those changes. Washing your hands Another important factor is that, with a small child around, it's highly likely that you're washing your hands far more than you used to, either because you're changing your son or bathing him or washing his clothes. This can lead to mild inflammation, dryness and even cracking of the skin, especially of the hands because these are the parts getting wet. When the skin cracks it's easier for bacteria to get in and cause infection, such as the ones you've been getting around your fingernails (these are known as paronychia). Reactions to detergents and chemicals Many women change detergents when they start a family, or certainly find they're washing some things by hand. You may have an allergy to your detergent. You're also probably coming into contact with all sorts of other chemicals, from baby wipes, creams and lotions to a variety of other household products. These may be drying your skin. Unexplained reasons Pregnancy can change the body in not always explainable ways. Many women find their body is simply never the same again. But pregnancy might also simply coincide with the development of other medical problems. If you're still worried, or the problems persist, go and see your doctor. Tips to alleviate dryness 1 . Moisturise thoroughly and frequently - use vaseline or unperfumed products. Studies have shown that expensive skin creams and remoisturising products are in the long run no more helpful than cheap creams. 2 . Protect your hands with rubber gloves when you're washing up or using detergents. 3 . Try to pinpoint any possible things you're coming into contact with which are aggravating your symptoms. Make a diary of your typical week and note anything your hands may come into contact with. 4 . Talk to your GP if symptoms persist - there are a few rare causes of dry skin and dry hair, such as thyroid problems, which may need to be ruled out.

But until now, treatments had to be performed at a clinic or salon with a special machine that blasts the skin with aluminum oxide crystals, removing dead cells and stimulating the growth of fresh, younger-looking skin. Until DermaSponge, professional-quality treatments like this cost 70 each session and up, or as much as 500 for a traditional regime of six to ten treatments.

Log in Find out more Sun cream standards "need tightening" Consumers are still unsure of which sun creams and tanning lotions will protect them against ultra violet rays, say The Trading Standards Institute The Trading Standards Institute is running a campaign to try to address the general level of ignorance among consumers as to which sun creams and tanning lotions will protect them against ultra violet rays. It has asked the European Commission to draw up minimum standards for sun protection, as well as improved rules on labelling on products currently, rules governing the manufacture of sun creams are the same as those for lipsticks. Judith Johnson of the TSI says that no sun care product offers 100 per cent protection, and the most important information to look out for is the Sun Protection Factor or SPF, which indicates the level of protection a cream provides. Most people should use a cream with an SPF of 15 to 20, advises the institute. Ms Johnson also pointed out that there is no such thing as a sun block. FROM The Times 22 July 2004 © Global News Services Ltd MH SAYS... Will sun tan oil save you from cancer? by Dr Keith Hopcroft Health editor Good luck to the TSI, because it's going to have problems making sense of a very complex area. For starters, the link between the sun and skin cancer is far from clear. Intermittent exposure and sunburn at all ages certainly increase the risk of nasties like melanoma, but more prolonged sun exposure through work has been shown to reduce melanoma risk. Then there's the problem that sunscreens do protect against sunburn, but it's not established how effective they are at preventing cancer. Confused? Dont worry, it gets worse. The sun protection factor (SPF) may only refer to protection against the UVB wavelength, but the longer wavelength UVA is also a cancer risk. Besides, the SPF categories refer to experimental conditions in real life, nowhere near enough cream or lotion is used to provide the promoted protection. In fact, some experts have stated that, if sunscreens were ladled on as they should be, there would be no need for any with an SPF above 15. My advice is keep it simple. Avoid the really scorching hours, go for an SPF of 15 or more, put loads on, reapply it regularly and dont use it to lull yourself into a false sense of security that you can stay in the sun longer.
