A healthy glowing skin not only adds to your confidence, but also takes away many years from your age!</p>
<p>In addition to regular exercise and maintaining an all over healthy lifestyle, you need to have a balanced diet to achieve that perfectly radiant skin. The first thing that you need to cut down on is junk! Say “good bye” to all sorts of fried food. Avoid stuff that is too spic. Also, identify food that you are allergic to.</p>
<p>Eat a lot of fruits. You can have fruit juice too, but the best way to consume fiber in your daily diet is to have whole fruits. Also, make sure to add green vegetables like spinach, beans and cabbage to your meal. Honey also adds that sparkle to your skin, use this as a sweetener. Last, but not the least, have plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.</p>

The same dry, cranky skin problems face you. Does the skin on your ankles become dry like the deserts of Sahara? Does the skin poke and hurt your fingers when you touch them? For sure you might want to have those cherry red faces and ankles in the winters shown on screen. Sounds impossible, does it really? No it doesn’t, you will get everything that you need to know just under one roof.</p>
<p>Biologically, the blood circulation keeps you warm, as heart is way far from the feet, same does not happen for your feet. So you need to take extra care. The simplest way is applying coconut oil over you ankle; it’s the age old best solution for dry skin. Have a hot water treatment for your legs and scrub it regularly, minimum once a week. Thereafter apply appropriate intense moisturizer on the affected ankles. During winters you should be careful about the kind of shoes you use.</p>

The ultraviolet rays which are emitted from sun can damage the skin vigorously. Nothing is good in them for skin. You can have a wrinkled skin at an early age. Sometime skin cancer is caused by this and there are some other diseases too that are caused by these rays.</p>
<p>Skin buy cancer might be caused if you stay in sun for a long time at a stretch. Various types of skin problems might come to you. Tanning is a great solution for you but it cannot help all the time.</p>
<p>To avoid the skin cancer, the most important thing has to do is to do not stay in sun. Do not stay outside in sun between 11 and 3 in afternoon. Try to avoid the sun lamps and tanning booths as they are also very harmful like the direct sun rays. Use sunglasses all the time when you are in sun. Try to visit your skin specialist once in every two months and check yourself if you have any skin problem or not. Get in touch of your family skin specialist immediately in case of any skin problem.</p>

It is caused by excessive deposition of melanin in   the skin. The first step to fix this problem is to find the root cause. It is important to distinguish whether the symptoms have been caused by endogenous factors, or by exogenous ones.</p>
<p>The endogenous melanin pigments include hemosiderin, various bile pigments, or carotene. A typical example of an exogenous pigment is carbon, which is included in many tattoo dosages  inks. Bleaching creams can be used to cure this skin disease. These creams can heal you in 3 to 6 months.</p>
<p>Even after Melasma has been cured, you should use sun screen lotion regularly to prevent further problems. You should also avoid using any type of soaps and face washes or creams that are not good for the skin. If you want instant cure from this problem, you can opt for laser peeling.</p>

Have you ever realized that the root causes for these lie in your very own house.</p>
<p>The modern society is so driven by the misguided belief that lighter complexion depicts beauty and success, which has led to the increase of skin lightening products. Women today can go to any extent to lighten the color of their skin which includes using bleach inspite of being aware of its harmful effects.</p>
<p>Skin bleaching is very detrimental to the skin. The damage is similar to sunbathing without using a sunscreen. It contains hydroquinone and mercury .The hydroquinone content gradually destroys the melanin on the skin, as a result the skin becomes more susceptible to skin cancer and the presence of mercury results in mercury poisoning causing various other skin diseases.</p>
<p>And they say “Being natural is beauty in itself”. So do you think it is worthwhile taking the risk of damaging your skin to this extent?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people are aware of the fact that melanin is responsible for warmer skin shades. However, do you know why some people say that, more the melanin the better it is? Well, this is because melanin has several benefits, both in terms of beauty and health. So what exactly are the benefits of melanin?</p>
<p>One of the most important advantage of melanin is that is saves the skin from the damaging and harsh effects of the sun. Melanin plays a crucial role in protecting you from severe sun burns. A long term advantage of melanin is that it guards the skin against age related problems like, age spots, wrinkles and rough surface textures.</p>
<p>And the most important advantage of high melanin content is that it provides protection against skin cancer. Melanin is especially effective against the squamous and basal cell skin cancers. And a really great benefit for people with high melanin content is that they don’t have to visit a tanning salon ever.</p>
