You may envy baby skin if you have dry skin like desert

because of the winter cold or air conditioners at office.

You used to have lustrous skin when you are a baby,

but now you may be disappointed and wondering when you get this bad dry skin.

Let’s get out from here and try to get fresh and youthful skin.

 9 techniques
to change dry skin into baby skin

1 After washing your face

The most effective thing for dry skin is moisture.

It is said that 80% of baby body is consisted by water.

The reason why body contains that much of water is that it is necessary for cells to grow.

To keep the moisture, adequate oil content is also needed.

Not only dirt but also oil content could be washed off by washing face.

It is important to restore moisture and oil content after washing face.

Remember to try to care your skin within 5 minutes after washing.

2　Check cleanser again

As it is said above, recent cleanser has stronger detergency.

Strong detergency is necessary to wash strong heavy makeup.

Strong detergency washes off the moisture of skin,

and that could be the reason to have dry skin or rough skin.

It would be a good idea to use gentle cleanser like cleanser with cloth or wiping type, or gel type.

3　Good to use lotion combining hyaluronic acid

As you get older, you lose more moisture.

One of the reasons is hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid has an effect to save water in body.

As you get older, it gets less, and water in your body decreases,

then that causes dry skin.

Keep the moisture on your skin by using lotion combining hyaluronic acid.

4　Take a bath with not too hot water

It is recommended to take a bath with warm water.

If you sweat in the bath,

that improves metabolism and excretes skin wastes.

It will be more effective if you use bathing powder which gives you more moisture.

You need to be careful not to scrub your body too hard with a towel.

5　Adjust your life rhythm

Skin is regenerated between 11pm and 2am while you are sleeping.

You may be busy every day and stay up late,

but it is better to try to be asleep during the golden time.

6　Measures for UV even in winter

Don’t you think measures for UV only in summer is enough?

It is actually necessary even in winter.

UV has an effect to promote evaporation of water.

UV exists all year around, though it is not as strong as in summer.

You will have drier skin if you are not aware of it because it’s in winter,

so it is important to have measures for UV all year around as well as for aging spots.

7　Improve by meals

Remember to eat well-balanced food and care your body from inside.

The nutrition you should take positively is vitamin A, B, E and essential fatty acid.

Vitamin A is included a lot in brightly colored vegetables, blueback like mackerel, and see weed.

It is effective to normalize the metabolism and keep skin moisture.

Vitamin B is included a lot in soy, dairy products, liver, seafood,

which is effective to prevent from inflammation and active the metabolism.

Vitamin E is included a lot in nuts and vegetable oil,

which is effective to help to secrete a female sex hormone and make moisture skin.

Essential fatty acid is included a lot in nuts, vegetable oil and seafood.

If you don’t take enough of this, that causes some trouble, and you will have dry skin.

（Remember, it is high in calories, so try not to take too much.)

A lot of chubby TV stars have beautiful skin, and it may be because they take enough nutrition.

8　Do not wait until you feel cold

If your body temperature decreases,

the circulation of the entire body will be bad

and water won’t be sent to cells of skin.

Moisturizing cream prevents the body surface from getting dry,

but you need a care to protect inside of your skin from dry.

5 body part which are stomach, neck, wrist,

ankle and back are very important to have a better circulation,

so it is effective to have cold protection measures, especially for those parts.

9　Try to avoid tea, coffee and alcohol

Tea and coffee contain caffeine.

As you may know, it has a diuretic effect and makes your body cold.

If your body gets cold, that will make your body metabolism worse and cause dry skin.

Alcohol includes vitamin A which increases the temperature of body and skin,

so that makes evaporations of skin moisture and dry skin happen.

It is recommended to have hot water for restore moisture not to cool your body.

In conclusion

You saw some tips to avoid dry skin and have soft moisture skin like babies.

Now we know that it is important to restore water and prevent from dry.

If dry skin gets worse, the barrier capacity of skin decreases,

and that causes itchiness on your skin or makes your skin red.

It is essential to take care of dry skin before those things happen.

Each tip is definitely not difficult, so give it a try.

Do you imagine how many people are in trouble with acne?

Or are you having this trouble?

If you have acne on forehead,

it bothers you a lot since it is the part you cannot hide enough.

Acne on forehead at puberty is caused by plugged pore because of excessive sebaceous secretion,

the balance of hormone brings.

What are the causes, then, of acne on forehead in adults?

Here are lifestyle habits which can be the causes of acne on forehead.

 5 lifestyle habits
that causes acne on forehead

1. Shampoo and Rinse

Shampoo and rinse are what anyone uses in his or her daily life.

They can be a cause of acne on forehead.

There are 2 main reasons.

One is plugged pore which occurs in case shampoo or rinse remains on your head.

The shampoo which is available commercially is usually detergent-treated,

and it can easily remain on your skin once used,

and it brings plugged pore.

The other is dry skin.

Abstergent shampoo sometimes washes sebum which is somewhat necessary off.

As a result, excessive sebaceous secretion begins,

and finally acne on forehead appears.

In order to prevent this, to take your attention

how you start with washing your hair and how to finish it,

and not to use shampoo which is abstergent too much will be important.

2. Intake of too much carbohydrate

Carbohydrate is contained in sweets, soft drinks,

in one word, in sugar, or in carbohydrate-rich foods such as rice or noodles.

If you intake carbohydrate too much,

vitamins and minerals will be necessary to break down carbohydrate

which are originally necessary to restrains sebaceous secretion.

Even though you intakes vitamins and minerals by supplements,

no effect you will have if you intake too much carbohydrate.

Recovery from acne, therefore,

is related to your restriction of intake of too much carbohydrate.

If you feel like having sweets, dried fruits are recommended.

If you feel like having chocolate, you might want to choose the black one.

3. Dirty in sheets and pillow cover

You might wonder why sheets and pillow cover can be a cause,

but these things are what you use every night.

They touch your skin directly for all night every day.

The dirty cannot be seen clearly, but there should be some dirtiness here and there.

If your skin is touching the part which is dirty,

it can be the cause of acne on forehead.

Women, especially, put some cream on your face before you sleep,

and this cream remains on the pillow, and it develops bacteria.

In order to prevent this situation,

which are really basic ideas, but to wash them often,

to put a towel on the pillow would be effective.

Moreover, it will be more effective if you dry them under sunshine,

or dry them where you let air through by ventilating,

or where you can prevent humidity.

4. Lack of sleep

Lack of sleep caused by irregular rhythm in your lifestyle or by stress as well,

is one of the causes of acne on forehead, actually as a big one.

Skin metabolism is activated during your sleeping the most.

Lack of sleep restrains regeneration of skin and cause acne on forehead.

It does not mean that the more you sleep,

the more you will find your skin beautiful after being regenerated.

If you would like to take an effective sleep,

to go to bed between 10pm to 12pm is important and

that is why this period of time is called “the golden time”.

Taking a bath, stretching, having hot drinks, those things can bring you relaxation,

and your sleep will be effective and the one in high quality.

5. Wash your face with shower

Do you wash your face with shower?

Pressure of water by shower is high for your face skin.

Sometimes it breaks the cuticles on your skin,

and washes sebum or moisture

which are somewhat or absolutely necessary for your skin.

After that, your dry skin causes acne on forehead.

If you use shower, to turn the water pressure into a lower one,

or not to wash your face with water from shower directly,

but to scoop water from shower and wash your face,

those things might be recommendable.

Water should not be too hot, and to dry your face with a towel gently is also important.

Summary

Acne on forehead is outstanding, but at the same time, it takes long to remove it.

Feeling this trouble very seriously, it might be natural.

This, however, has its causes in your lifestyle habits when confirming one by one.

To take care of your skin, to keep your skin clean,

to take a good sleep, and to take meals which are well balanced,

those basic style is likely to improve your trouble.

Once you make this lifestyle your habit,

you will see various influences on your body which all are good.

We would highly recommend you to take the lifestyle for your beauty.

Why have the pores opened even though you take care of your skin every day?

There are many factors such as sebum, ultra-violet rays, dryness, and aging.

If the pores stand out, you’d be embarrassed of your bare face and have hard time of makeup.

As the solution, we will let you know the points that prevent the pores from opening any more.

Read it and avoid wrong way of treatment!

Seven Bad Habits
for Opening Pores and Solutions

1. Bad Habit: Dryness

Dryness has bad effects not only on the pores, but on the entire facial skin.

Pores of the skin tend to open widely at the moisture shortage because of weakened function to tighten the pores.

Furthermore, opened pores help the water evaporate more easily; as a result, pores would open more widely.

It’s a negative spiral. It is much drier especially in winter of Japan, so you should be more careful of keeping your skin moist.

When you stay at the hotel or take the plane or the train, you should also be careful.

2. Solution: Moisture Keeping

Moisture keeping is the most important.

When you wash your face, stroke your face gently with fluffy soap bubbles frothed up sufficiently instead of scrubbing.

Use a skin lotion soon after washing your face.

First, take a skin lotion in your hand and push into your face.

Then, use a cotton pad or a face mask.

Finally, you have to use a milky lotion so that your skin absorbs the ingredients of a skin lotion.

Your skin would become dry unless you use a milky lotion.

In dry season, it’s better to repeat these process twice.

It’s more effective to slather a cheap lotion than to be stingy with an expensive lotion.

3. Bad Habit: Unhealthy Diet and Life Style

If sebum increases, pores of the facial skin open because sebum pushes out the exit of the pore and widen it.

Also pores tend to get dirty.

There are many factors to increase sebum; however, unhealthy diet and life style definitely have effect.

Excessive amount of sugar and fat would turn out to be sebum.

Stresses and lack of sleep would cause hormone abnormality and poor digestion.

It may undermine the normal function of your skin and make sebum increase.

4. Solution: Regular Life

You should improve your diet first.

You’d better keep from the food that create excessive sebum for example
chocolate, fried food, nuts like peanuts and almond, butter, cheese, sweets and cakes with lots of sugar.

On the other hand,
we recommend the collagen-rich food that makes your skin more supple
for example a flatfish, an anglerfish, dried shark fin, and chiken skins.

We can also take collagen easily from supplements these days.

Liquid type supplements are more effective to take collagen.

It is important to keep regular life that has three meals a day,
enough sleep, a relaxing time so that your skin will become healthy.

5. Bad Habit: Clear Pore Mask

If a black-tipped plugs clog pores of the skin, you tend to use a clear pore mask.

To tell the truth, it has the opposite effect to what is intended.

Although the pores become clean temporarily, your skin is damaged when peeling it.

As a result, the pores will open more and dirt will clog the pores more easily.

You may feel comfortable to pick up the dirt by your finger, but it makes the pore open more.

The dirt is caused by sebum, remained make-up, lotion, and cream.

If you put on your make-up over the opened pore, the dirt would clog inside.

6. Solution: Wash Your Face & Peeling

The right way of washing your face is to wash out the dirt of your face with warm water first.

Then, stroke your face gently with plenty of bubbles using a facial washing net.

Wash out bubbles with warm water and finally tighten your skin with cool water.

After that, use peeling gel or cream to remove the dirt instead of using peel-off mask.

Then, do the skin care as usual.

At that time, it is effective for preventing the pores from opening to use the cosmetics containing vitamin C.

7. Summary of Solutions

As mentioned above, the solutions from inside the body are healthy diet and collagen.

If the moisture of the skin evaporates, collagen would break due to the lack of water and your skin would loosen.

Hydration, the solutions from outside the body, is important to avoid that.

UV-cut is also effective because the skin would become easier to lose water if it is exposed to UV.

Conclusion

How do you like the solutions to avoid pores of the skin from opening?
It’s not that tiresome.

You can do it naturally if you are conscious of treating your skin carefully every day.

Every one of women wants to have beautiful skin regardless of her age.

Let’s start it today to have such desired skin!

Acne is one of troubles during puberty and bother us suddenly appearing even after grown-up.

Acne is pretty troublesome.

If we do tidy care, we can eliminate acne which is already generated and protect to generate.

The acne care is to take off sebum by washing face and to moisturize skin with lotion.

We expect further effect by using lotion which is suitable for your skin.

Here, I introduce how to choose lotion for each occasion of acne.

Firstly, acne is a condition that skin get an inflammation.

Acne come from inflammation of pore by interaction of hormone, bacterium, and sebum.

Therefore, they say that acne is generated easily at face, breast, and back where sebum is much secreted.

Bacterium acne which is a cause of acne exist in everyone’s skin regardless of sex and like sebum.

Bacterium acne increase with sebum filled in pore by something unusual and cause inflammation to skin.

That is become acne protection if we prevent sebum from staying in pore.

Let’s get to introduce some points to choose lotion for each occasion of acne.

How to choose lotion and
correct information for acne.

1. Puberty acne

During puberty sebum secrete actively because hormone balance is changed and pore get stuck easily.

But, skin become also dry and we can say the condition of skin is sensitive.

In this case, I recommand fresh lotion with low stimulation which protect to be dry tidy.

I don’t recommand moisture lotion because it may cause more exacerbation.

If possible, it is more better that the lotion don’t include oil.

Although it is important to take off sebum tidy by washing face,

it may cause dry if we take off sebum too much in sensitive skin during puberty.

Let’s use facial cleaning form with low stimulation.

2. Acne when the seasons change

When the seasons change, we often feel bad physical condition.

Since fresh air become high or low suddenly, our internal rhythm is disrupted and cause acne easily.

The cause is that disruption of active cycle skin.

As the cycle is disrupted, waste material accumulate in skin and it become cause of acne.

For acne in this term, let’s use different lotion for each fresh and moisture type a little early from season.

Especially at the beginning of spring, ultraviolet rays become strong.

If you have mark of acne, you may get mottle, so please be careful.

3. Acne for dry skin while oily

Many people has a trouble that their T-zone has a lot of sebum while their cheek get dry.

Furthermore, if you get acne, we tend to think difficulty about its care.

The most mistake is that we leave our skin nothing after washing face

by cleasing form with strong stimulation even if your skin is oily.

Don’t do it because this become a cause which accelerate aging of skin.

I recommand clean off lotion for people who have oily skin.

Before standard lotion, we use clean off lotion and eliminate waste material.

Your skin will get protection for oily area without extra sebum.

Then let’s put lotion there which type is fresh.

But, because of combination skin, it is better to use oil free lotion with less additive substance as much as possible.

4. Acne by sunscreen

Especially summer, the sun is strong and sunscreen is essential for many people.

But, do you take off it carefully everyday?

Sunscreen protect your skin from ultraviolet rays, but it also bring some damage to your skin.

If possible, after taking it off by natural soup with low stimulation,

let’s moisturize your skin with lotion regardless of for body or face.

Lotion for face with less stimulation is good for sensitive skin.

5. Acne by make up contamination

We usually make up everyday, but do you take it off tidy?

Many cosmetic items have oil component.

If you don’t take it off tidy, this should be best condition for acne to occur.

They say that a time to take off make up is the same as a time to make up.

Recently there are many high performance washing creams,

and let’s choose suitable one for you and take off without any remains.

Clean off lotion before lotion is also good since we can take off make up contamination as wel as waste material.

Lotion for make up for woman have high moisture effect.

I recommand a lotion which condition your skin before make up.

6. Acne by stress

They say that there is stressful society in present age and we encounter many difficulties.

Furthermore, it is hard for us to get acne.

Once we start to get stress, both cycles of inside body and skin get trouble.

Especially, barrier function for skin get to low and it bring inflammation easily.

And skin itself make hard horny cell as a emergent measure for restore.

It causes acne easily as sebum can not go and out well.

In order to restore barrier function for skin, let’s put nutrient-rich lotion to your skin soon.

Lotion with very strong stimulation is not good.

But lotion which have a light perfume is good for relaxation effect and reducing stress.

Summary

There are many kinds of reasons for acne.

We understand that we can control acne with using suitable lotion for your skin and prevent acne.

Our skin condition is different slightly everyday.

It is also good to use several different kinds of lotions.

And let’s use milky lotion and skin cream as necessary since these add oil to our skin.

Wash your face tidy and keep your skin clean.

And moisturize your skin with lotion. Let’s spend with healthy skin.
