Your Skin is Your Image! The Largest, Most Versatile Organ of the Body. Woman to Woman: Your Skin Care Guide. The Truth About Sun Exposure. Sun exposure is the skin's most dangerous enemy. If you're not convinced, compare the color and texture of the skin where it has been exposed to the sun with an area that has been protected, such as the abdomen. Notice how the sun-protected skin is smooth and evenly colored, whereas the exposed skin may be coarse and discolored. Sun exposure accumulated over a lifetime causes most of the changes to the skin associated with aging such as wrinkling, brown spots, broken blood vessels, sallowness, roughness, and cancer. Protection from the Sun. To prevent your skin from appearing old and unhealthy, simply protect yourself and your family from the sun. Stay out of the sun between 10 AM and 3 PM Apply sunscreen on a daily basis Cover exposed skin: wear a broad-brimmed hat or carry an umbrella Always seek the shade Selecting a Sunscreen. Selecting a sunscreen that provides both UVA and UVB radiation protection is essential. UVA and UVB radiation have different wavelengths and are thought to have different effects on the skin. Although window glass stops UVB radiation, UVA radiation can damage your skin even when you're inside your home, office building, or car. UVA causes the skin to tan and age prematurely; UVB causes sunburn. Sunscreens currently contain an SPF (sun protection factor) that numerically rates the sunscreen's ability to protect from sunburn. This number, however, says nothing about preventing aging of the skin. For best protection, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen containing active ingredients such as microfine zinc oxide that protects against both UVA and UVB radiation. Remember to apply sunscreen as part of your morning routine. Melanoma and Other Skin Cancers. Eventually, exposure to the sun over many years will damage the skin beyond repair, resulting in skin cancer. The most minor form of skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma that appears as a small lump that repeatedly bleeds and scabs. Another form of skin cancer is squamous cell carcinoma that appears as a scab or wound that does not heal within six weeks. The most serious form of skin cancer is melanoma. Melanoma can occur anywhere on the body and appears as an asymmetrically shaped and irregularly colored spot with uneven borders that is larger than a pencil eraser. Suspicious moles should be examined by a dermatologist immediately. If diagnosed early before it penetrates deeply within the skin, melanoma is completely curable. Selecting Skin Care Products. Skin care products can provide excellent sun protection on a daily basis. For example, a facial moisturizer that contains sunscreen, such as microfine zinc oxide, can prevent aging (UVA radiation) and sunburn (UVB radiation) when applied consistently. Men, women, and children can use sunscreen-containing facial moisturizers. Because most people get the majority of their sun from casual daily exposure, sun protection must be an everyday concern. Tips for Maintaining Healthy Skin. Great-looking skin can be yours if you follow just a few common sense skin care tips: Clean your face twice daily with a mild moisturizing beauty bar or a face wash that cleans without causing dryness. Apply a sunscreen-containing facial moisturizer each morning to maintain the skin barrier intact. Bathe with a mild moisturizing body cleanser designed for your skin type. Examine your body regularly for new growths or suspicious sores. See your dermatologist annually for a complete body examination. Proper skin care and sun protection are important for the entire family. Healthy skin is great-looking skin! Your Skin is Your Image! It’s terrific to look great. But have you ever considered what looking great means? It depends, in part, on the condition of your skin. Let’s discuss some important steps you can take to protect the health and maintain the condition of your skin. The Largest, Most Versatile Organ of the Body. Skin is the largest organ of the body, vital to protecting the inner workings of the complex human machine. It functions as: a barrier that prevents toxic substances from damaging the body’s vulnerable interior a first line of defense that prevents bacterial, viral, and fungal organisms from causing disease a thermostat that regulates body temperature, allowing humans to live in various environments an organ that senses stimuli through touch and temperature The skin also contains sweat glands, oil glands, and hair follicles. Its extreme versatility enables tremendous growth from childhood to adulthood and efficient repair following injury. Great-looking skin begins in childhood, but requires careful attention throughout life to guarantee healthy skin as an adult. Caring for your skin is easy and rewarding once you understand some basic medical facts. Woman to Woman: Your Skin Care Guide. A woman's skin is subtly different than a man's skin. For example, because women have thinner skin than men do the sun's penetrating UVA rays damage female skin to a greater degree. This is one of the reasons why women may seem to age more quickly than men. Remember that it is vitally important for women to wear a sunscreen! Women develop melanoma on different body areas than men. Because women often wear skirts, the most common site for melanoma in women is the lower legs. In men, the upper back is the most common location for melanoma. To protect yourself from cancer, remember to cover skin exposed to the sun with as much clothing as possible. A woman's skin also tends to change color and texture with age. Sun exposure causes some of these changes, whereas others are caused by dynamic hormonal variations that occur around menopause. Estrogen maintains the bony framework beneath the skin, keeps the skin soft and resilient, and encourages a vibrant, healthy complexion. Remember to see your physician for medical advice about using hormonal replacement therapy if you are approaching menopause. The mission of The Partnership for Womens Health at Columbia is to improve the health of women and men around the world through research and education. It will accomplish this by using new information about womens unique physiology and the way they experience disease, to generate a better understanding of the differences between women and men and to help establish the new discipline of gender-specific medicine.

The standard is designed to be consistent with international standards for biometrics used in such applications as travel documents. This standard will also be used to specify definitions of photographic properties and digital image attributes, and as a standards format for relevant applications, including human examination and computer automated face recognition. “Secretary Ridge and I are pleased to release the Department’s biometric standard face recognition formats today,” said Dr. Charles McQueary, Under Secretary for Science and Technology. “This standard will help improve our long-term security by facilitating the interchange of digitally stored photographs, regardless of what equipment is used to take or to display the images.” Homeland security professionals will use the standard as technical criteria upon which to design equipment such as cameras and software for facial recognition. The standard supports visual human facial comparison and computer automated comparisons for watch list checks and for computer identification and verification. It also facilitates the interchange of photographs across systems, and will assist in the future development of interoperable biometric applications. “The Department, through the US-VISIT Program, has already moved forward with extensive work on biometrics and facial recognition standards. The adaptation of facial recognition standards is a first step in standardizing all types of biometrics which is essential for the success of Homeland Security programs,” said Under Secretary for Border and Transportation Security Asa Hutchinson. This standard was developed by the International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS), a standards development organization accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Homeland Security and its partners will continue to work on a regular basis with INCITS to revise these standards as biometric technology evolves. The standard (INCITS 385) is available from INCITS and from ANSI . The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology division serves as the primary research and development arm of the Department, utilizing our nation’s scientific and technological resources to provide federal, state and local officials with the technology and capabilities to protect the homeland. ### Home · FAQs · Contact Us · Privacy Policy · FOIA · Linking to DHS.gov No FEAR · Terms of Use · FirstGov · Accessibility · Site Map DHS Agencies U.S. Department of Homeland Security
