Take care dry skin

The appearance of damaged thread veins on the surface of the skin is a very common problem, usually occurring on the face and legs. The unsightly condition can be embarrassing, making women self conscious about exposing their legs, and feeling that they must wear trousers or long skirts, even on warm sunny days. Both men and women can be affected, especially those who work outdoors and are subject to extremes of temperature, such as working outside in the cold, and then coming indoors to a warm room.

It is thought that broken capillaries are caused by exposure to the sun, wind and cold weather. Damaged veins on the legs may appear during pregnancy or after standing for long periods. If left untreated, they may increase in size, and clusters of unsightly red or purple coloured blood vessels can appear on the surface of the skin. There are several solutions to this condition.

Dry Skin

Many sufferers opt for laser treatments which transmit heat into the skin to seal the damaged vein, which will eventually be absorbed into the body. The treatment itself can be painful, and may leave redness and swelling immediately afterwards. After allowing several weeks for full effects of the initial treatment, further sessions will be needed before the spider veins disappear.

Another non-surgical remedy is Sclerotherapy. This involves the injection of a chemical solution into the affected vein. Most patients require 3 or 4 treatments over a period of several weeks, with some requiring up to 6 treatments. Hyper-pigmentation of the surrounding skin is a possible side effect of sclerotherapy, leaving patches of darker skin. Whilst this is an effective therapy, there is a risk that you could just be swapping one problem for another.

The thought of painful injections and lasers may deter those seeking a solution, especially when some individuals report that their thread veins reappeared again some time later. There is also the cost of treatments to consider, and the inconvenience of taking time off work and making several visits to a clinic or hospital.

So now for the good news ... a gentle non-invasive treatment cream is available without prescription which you can use discreetly at home. Simply apply morning and night to the affected areas and watch broken veins fade away. Your skin repairs itself at night whilst you are resting, so the most effective time to apply a skin care product is at bed-time. When applied regularly, you can expect to see good results over 30 days. The product is safe to use on both the face and legs, and is a cost effective solution which is more appealing than surgery or painful and expensive lasers or injections. Even when travelling, you can easily continue your treatment regime.

You can change the condition of your skin rash by changing the foods that you eat. The reason why you suffer with dry skin rash is because of toxemia and deficiency.

Toxemia is where your body is overwhelmed with toxins. Toxins are formed when you eat foods that are impure, unnatural, processed or chemicalized. When you eat the right foods on a regular basis your body will eliminate the stored poisons which will enable it to absorb life changing nutrients from the food you eat. This in turn will strengthen your immune system.

Dry Skin

Deficiency as you may or may not know is where your body is undernourished because it is not receiving the proper types and quantity of the foods that it needs. The digestive tract is overloaded and therefore allergies and disorders results. By eating the correct foods your body will become better nourished and in a better position to self heal.

Here are 4 easy steps to transform Skin Rash:

Tip #1

Eliminate all chemicals, alcohol and tobacco from your diet. If you can do this with immediate effect then all the better for your health. If not, you should decrease the amounts you consume over a period of time. So if you smoke 20 cigarettes per day you should try cutting down to say 15 cigarettes per day in week one and then 10 cigarettes per day in week two.

Continue until you have totally eliminated it from your lifestyle.

Tip #2

Eliminate all processed foods. This includes white flour, junk foods and all cooked foods. If you find it difficult to give up all cooked food then reduce the amount you consume to about 10% of all foods that you eat.

Tip #3

Cut out all red meats from your diet. Replace red meats with fish, chicken and turkey. If you eat meat on a daily basis, you could perhaps reduce your consumption to every other day initially.

Tip #4

Increase the amount of live foods that you eat where possible. For instance instead of white sugar substitute with raw honey, raisins and dates. Instead of white flour substitute with whole grain.

It's that time of year again. Everywhere on your body you start to get dry and itchy skin. Sometimes you may even find that you have flaky skin, cracked heels, or severely dry hands. You may have tried several skin lotions, but may not have found what works the best for you.

I have lived in the northern states my whole life and it seems that as soon as October rolls around, the skin on my face starts to dry up, soon followed by the skin on my body. Of course the older I get, the worse the dry skin is becoming. I have used several lotions and creams and have found a few that are worth their weight in gold.

Dry Skin

First let's discuss dry flaky skin. When the skin's moisture level drops, your skin becomes dehydrated and starts to itch. All that scratching to relieve the itch causes the flaking of your skin. The best thing you can do for the flaking is to exfoliate your skin at least 3 times per week with a scrub in the shower. If you can use an emollient based scrub this is the best as it will help lock in moisture for your skin. Immediately after towling off your skin, you need to apply dry skin lotion. If you have very itchy skin, Aveeno dry skin lotion is the best that I have found to help alleviate itchy skin and help combat dry flaky skin both at the same time.

Nothing is more frustrating than dry cracked heels. This problem, as the others, stems from dehydration of the skin. Part of the problem is due to the feet sweating (which everyone's feet do) and then drying several times each day. This causes the skin to swell and dry out causing cracks in the skin. Some people have severe cracked skin and for this problem, a trip to the podiatrist may be warranted for heavy duty treatment. To help prevent cracked heels, make sure to use a good exfoliant on your heels at least 3 times a week. One of the best dry skin cream on the market for problem heels (or to prevent them) is Burt's Bees Foot Creme. It has a heavenly coconut scent and works like a charm! Your dry heels will be perfect in no time.

As a nurse, I know what it's like to have severe dry hands, even cracked hands. All the handwashing nurses do in the hospital strips the skin of its natural oils. A big culprit of dry hands is not completely drying your hands, this will give you chapped, dry hands quickly. The very best dry skin lotion, well it's really not a lotion-it's a shielding lotion, that is dermatologist recommended is Gloves in a Bottle. I have not found anything that works better! All the nurses I know use this product religiously.
