Different Skin Problems that crop up with Age & Other Factors


 

Skincare regime does not come with a rule book. It is different for different people and for different ages as well. For instance, say you’re in your 20s hydration and/or sun protection becomes the foremost important parameters of protecting the skin.

The 30s – especially your early 30s often witness signs of aging. Although your skin starts aging from quite an early age (early 20s indeed) the signs become prominent and visible in your 30s. This is because until your 30s, the damage is extrinsic – suntan, pollution, lifestyle factors affecting the skin, and so on.

Post 30s – it is often intrinsic. Pregnancy complications, hormonal imbalances, and most importantly stress might take their toll upon your skin.

Unfortunately, your 40s will make the aging signs more prominent. The collagen and elastin production of the skin reduces with age. You can make out from their names itself that these are the factors responsible for maintaining the elasticity of the skin.

Did you know people losing weight are also highly susceptible to saggy skin?

When there's a considerable amount of fat in your body, they damage the binding factors in your skin (elastin and collagen). When you lose that extra weight (all of a sudden) it becomes difficult for the skin to snap back and the skin becomes considerably saggy!

Your 50s again encounters a whole lot of hormonal changes (for instance the effects of menopause in women during their late 50s). So long we discussed the skin changes that come up with changes in age as well as lifestyle. You also need to have an in-depth knowledge of the essential oils that are best suited for each of the above conditions!

In a nutshell, hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid and zinc works best for acne breakouts whereas, the L-ascorbic acid which is a pure and potent form of vitamin C can enhance the firmness of your skin (while you’re dealing with the ‘sagging’ issues). Retinol, niacinamide, marula oil, etc. are some of the other effective oils to deal with several of your skin problems.

Technology at its best during the lockdown days

      It’s been more than a year now that we have been compelled to abandon ‘outdoor fun’. You and I, in turn, have earnestly thanked technology, at some point of time or the other, for helping us cope with this harsh ‘new normal’. Online streaming of movies, chatting apps, video conferencing with colleagues and business partners, music apps, etc. have done their best to keep us going, haven’t they? Think of the music apps nowadays that come along with ‘collaborative playlists’ – the creator of the playlist decides upon a group of friends or family members who can have access to the playlist. In a way, therefore, you are socializing! Again, you are not to forget the OTT platforms on which people have spent hours watching their favourite content. Home schooling This has again been successfully possible for the one of the biggest boons to mankind named ‘technology’. Initially parents, especially the working mums and dads found themselves hard-pressed between office work and...

Heating pads – how they come to the rescue when you’re in pain?

Heating Pads You often resort to a hot bath or some form of heat application when there's been an incessantly flustering pain in a certain body part of yours! Why does a heat application or the prompt use of a heating pad occur to us when we are in pain? Here's the science behind heat therapy… How does heat therapy work? Heating, in a particular body part dilates the blood vessels which allows a better flow of blood. Before getting into why enhanced blood relieves pain, we need to dig into the cause of the pain or soreness! Muscle pain and soreness emanate from the accumulation of lactic acid in that particular part of the body. Why did lactic acid build up in that body part? Lactic acid may build up in an area that is receiving the ‘bad blood’. By bad blood, I meant to say an inadequate blood flow that causes the insufficient supply of oxygen to the area. This results in muscle soreness and aches in the concerned region. As the application of heat normalizes the blood f...
