Skin Care Shopping Tips

(iVillage Total Health) - Are you ever confused about which skin care products to buy at the drug store or cosmetics counter? You are probably not alone. The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) says consumers must be savvy shoppers when buying over-the-counter products for their skin.

With so many choices in the beauty and cosmetics aisle, you may not know which products work best with your skin type and complexion. According to the ASDS, higher prices do not translate to high quality or effectiveness in creams, gels and lotions. Smart shoppers will carefully read ingredient labels and research ingredients with which they may be unfamiliar.

Here are some shopping tips from the ASDS:

- You must first know your skin type (dry, oily or sensitive) and be sure to purchase products that fit in with your skin.

- If you don't already have one, create a daily skin care routine for you to use the product. Many skin care products, especially anti-aging creams, take six to eight weeks to show results. But you must apply them daily as directed..

- Be wary of products that over promise on results. If they seem too good to be true, they probably won't deliver the miraculous results advertised. Well-known or reputable product lines may be more reliable..

- Do your homework before purchasing a product. Read the labels and research ingredients that are unfamiliar to you. Look for deceptive claims on labels. For example, creams that claim to contain Botox (a treatment used to temporarily smooth facial lines and wrinkles) may be deceptive because Botox is only useful when injected..

- Look for products that contain sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at 15 to help block the harsh rays of the sun..

- Ask a dermatologist if you are uncertain if a particular product is right for your skin type. If a skin problem persists, consult a dermatologist..

How to makeup : Natural Looking That Makes You Look Your Best

This tutorial shows you how to achieve a natural simple look with makeup.

Change of Season may Bring Acne

(HealthCentersOnline) - As fall begins and the temperature starts to drop, many people may also notice a change in their complexions.

Many people develop drier skin during the colder months. Cold temperatures, low humidity, winds and indoor heat can lead to skin that is dry, flaky, scaly, cracked or irritated. People may attempt to relieve their dry skin by applying more moisturizer or washing their face less often. However, this may lead to additional skin problems.

According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), alterations in skin care routines and additional moisturizing can lead to an increase in breakouts and redness during the transition into the colder months.

To help people avoid an increase in acne this fall, and keep the skin looking healthy year-round, the ASDS recommends the following tips:

* Follow all directions for prescribed medications. Laser treatments and oral medications that fight bacteria and lighten excessive oil production are a few ways to phase out blemishes. Maintaining an appropriate skin regimen helps them be effective. This includes following directions and schedules prescribed by your doctor. Be patient—it may be six to eight weeks before you see improvements with prescription or over-the-counter remedies.

* Eat a balanced diet. Research shows there is no direct link between eating greasy or sugary foods (including chocolate) and breakouts. However, food allergies may trigger acne for certain people. For these people, avoiding such foods may help to reduce pimples. Healthy lifestyle choices such as a balanced diet, exercise and stress management will really help your skin.

* Relax. The hormone that the body produces in response to stress is a known acne trigger and can cause a flare up. Try to develop techniques to help manage stress and avoid last minute deadlines.

* Choose oil-free cosmetics. When choosing cosmetics it's important to find the right kind for your specific skin type. Look for the words "non-comedogenic" on the label, choosing products that are oil-free and won't clog pores will help prevent future problems. Some concealers even contain benzoyl peroxide, which helps to fight acne while also disguising it.

* Don't fight acne alone. If you have tried to get rid of acne on your own and you're just not getting the job done, get help. A dermasurgeon can help to get you on the road to clearer skin.
Don't scrub. Many people associate acne with a dirty face, so they scrub their face with harsh soaps that sometimes contain irritating detergents that can increase breakouts. Wash your face twice a day using a mild soap and water and pat dry.

* Don't pop pimples. Popping a pimple increases the chance of further infection. Squeezing pimples actually pushes bacteria further into pores, which causes redness and swelling and may cause permanent scarring.

* Don't let scars get you down. Acne scarring can be emotionally devastating. Fortunately, treatment options continue to evolve.

White Makeup: Beauty Trend 2008

White Makeup: Beauty Trend 2008
Article From www.thebudgetfashionista.com

What: White eyeliner, eye shadow and even mascara are taking up real estate in the cosmetic department.

What the experts say: This from the January 2008 issue of Angeleno magazine: “White [makeup] was everywhere in the spring shows,� reveals J.P. McCary, the principal makeup artist for Shu Uemura. “Salvatore Ferragamo and Marni showed the shade beautifully.�

What we say: Runway styles don’t always translate to real life, and this definitely applies to the white makeup trend. Just try wearing white mascara to work and your co-workers are guaranteed to call you something insulting. That doesn’t mean you have to abandon the sentiment entirely.

Instead of going full throttle on this look, opt for accents like dusting a shimmery white shadow (try Revlon Diamond Lust Eye Shadow in White Hot, $11.52) in the inner corner of the eye, which will make your eyes pop, or line the rim of your eyes with white liner to make you look more awake. But unless you’re auditioning for Tim Burton’s next flick, save the white mascara for Halloween.
