Skin Care: Questions and Answers

Skin care is not complicated at all, consistency and usage of right products is the key. However, there are frequently asked questions which we are going to address today, to help people resolve their queries.

Q1. What causes acne?

A: As every individual is different from each other, so is their skin. Doctors have no clue for why some people get acne and some do not. Stress and Hormonal balance plays vital role in triggering acne. On the outer side clogged pores and usage of makeup can cause acne as well. 

The best way to deal with acne is to wash the face gently with acne free face wash and do not scrub or exfoliate.

Q2. How can I avoid wrinkles?

Wrinkles are a result of aging as a natural process,  but you can take measures to prevent them for long time. 

Minimize sun exposure and wear sun block with broad spectrum. Drink plenty of water and keep the skin hydrated by applying a good quality moisturizer.

Q3. How to handle a sensitive skin?

Be gentle with your sensitive skin. Be extra conscious to try out new products. Always chose the products which are specifically formulated for sensitive skin.

Q4. Is sunscreen necessary for daily use?

Yes! It is. If you really care for your skin, you need to wear sunscreen on daily basis before going out. It protects the skin from harmful UV rays to combat risk of cancer. Also, it helps in fighting aging signs such as fine lines, wrinkles and crow feet etc.

Q5. How can I find my skin type?

Skin is classified in five categories like normal, oily, dry, combination and sensitive. If your skin is one type for certain period of time and its another type for another period of time; it means you have a combination skin. If it remains very dry and itches even after consistent application of moisturizer, then it means you have a dry skin. If your face produces oil, even if you do not apply any moisturizer and wake up with an oily nose, it means you have an oil skin. If your skin is prone to reactions, most of the time, that means you have a sensitive skin.

Skin type also changes from time to time and due to age factors.

Q6. How to whiten skin? (Mostly asked by eastern women)

There is nothing which can actually change your skin tone, until you use whitening injections or go for surgery. But, there are products in the market which can help in lightening your skin to some extent. 

We would suggest that instead of dreaming for changing color tone, you should work on brightness of the skin. Eat fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water to make it fresh and glowing. A glowing and healthy skin makes the person look attractive, no matter which color you have.
