Although anyone can get skin cancer, the risk is greater for people who always burn, never tan, and are fair with red or blonde hair; green or blue eyed and freckled types have a greater chance of developing skin cancer.
Learn more about it with the following frequently asked questions:
Q. Is sun exposure the main cause of skin cancer?
A. Long-term exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation sun is the main cause of skin cancer. Artificial sources of UV radiation, such as sunlamps and tanning booths, also contribute to the risk of developing skin cancer.
Q. What are the types of skin cancer?
A. The most common kinds of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma arises from the basal cells, small round cells found in the lower part (or base) of the epidermis.

How hormones affect zits

Due to the presence of hormones, your oil glands go into overdrive. They produce extra oil, which block your follicles and clump together with the dead skin cells on the top layer of your skin. When this sticky mixture works its way into your pores, it acts just like a cork in a bottle -- trapping oil and bacteria inside. Unfortunately, your oil glands cannot determine when to stop so they keep producing oil thus making the follicle swollen. Your body's natural defense system -- white blood cells -- rush to the area to produce an enzyme that damages the wall of the follicle, allowing the contents of the follicle to enter the dermis. This process causes an inflammatory response that results in either red, painful bumps (papules); blackheads and whiteheads (comedones); pimples or acne. Contrary to common belief, this condition has nothing to do with what you eat, or how often you wash your face.
Dermatologists point out that dietary factors neither cause nor cure acne. In almost all cas
A way to a healthy skin
2009-05-22 02:59:14
A beautiful healthy skin is always worthy of attention and praise. It spells great responsibility for the person to take care of his skin that way. And although only very few people can actually have the perfect skin and complexion, we too can do something to bring out the best in our skin.
1. Drink plenty of water. The recommended eight glasses of water a day is essential in maintaining the skin's elasticity and suppleness. Water also clears your skin and aids in the proper elimination of waste. Remember, less waste products in your body, more beautiful healthy skin.
2. Protect your skin. Harsh elements can severely damage your skin and can lead to irritation and infection. Wear sunscreen with at least SPF 15 every time you go out of the sun. For outdoor activity, use SPF 45 because you'll be perspiring, which dilutes the sunscreen. For those who are very fair, who have red hair, blue eyes and freckles, add a total block that contains titanium or zinc.
3. Take care of you skin and
Treat acne with Aloe Vera
2009-05-08 01:26:37
The historic use of Aloe Vera - daily beauty care routine - relates it to the legendary silky looks of Queen Cleopatra. The doubts one could have due to the virtually mythical quality of this story could be shattered by the contemporary practice of treating some skin disorders with Aloe products. Acne vulgaris is one of these diseases curable by using Aloe. Although products based on Aloe extract have a multiple application, when it comes to skin care, both tradition and proved efficiency deliver an evidence for all skeptics.
Compared to cancer or some other serious conditions, acne is sometimes looked at as a minor disorder that will surely disappear in time. General opinion links it to adolescence and puberty and, when the latter will be gone, acne will to. Though not deadly, the impact of this disease should not be understated, as it could lead to surprising psychological reactions, like insecurity, low self-esteem, and depression or even to a more radical consequence, that is, sui
Clean skin?

First and foremost, the skin is the outermost layer of the body and is essentially its first line of defense against various elements. It covers approximately 19 square feet, so it's more or less the largest organ of your body. What's more, the skin (particularly that on the face) is the first thing people see when they look at you, so it's really important that you keep it clean, smooth, and acne-free. The only way you can do that is if you follow a good skin regimen.
The truth is that there is only one good skin regimen and it includes three (sometimes four) steps: cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. These three skin care steps are the basics, and they should be done everyday if you really want to maintain your beautiful skin. Experts even recommend that you do this skin regimen twice a day, right after you wake up and right before you sleep.

First impressions
2009-02-18 02:16:07
Regardless of how sad or cynical this may sound, truth is we’re living in a world that has always used looks to hastily judge a person instead of waiting for actions to be performed and thoughts to be voiced. The world is not a fair place. Those who look better get to enjoy more perks and amenities than others. They get asked out and invited to nice parties. They rise faster to the top because everyone, men and women, likes to see a pretty face and a shapely body around. Smart people can still climb the social and professional ladder, but it’s far easier for somebody who got lucky at birth and came into the world with a fair face and a body to die for.
First impressions are crucial. Today, we meet more and more people and trust less and less of them. Socializing and work put us in contact with persons from other parts of our towns, other cities or other countries. It’s a huge world and we get to know it on a personal basis by meeting a lot of people. That’s why we have to make
