Some may think that the summer months is the only time of year where people deal with acne. But that’s not the case. The cold temperatures during the winter and early spring months can worsen acne and spur new pimples. Many skin care professionals believe that the reason for wintertime acne breakouts is the mixture of cold weather coupled with indoor heated rooms. “The drastic change between outdoor and indoor temperatures is causing dead skin cells and debris to clog your pores, “said Skin Care Heaven’s spokesperson. “These clogged pores will cause acne in no time at all.” Skin Care Heaven, an e-commerce skin care store and storefront in San Diego, offers products to help those with acne. And this includes seasonal acne, as well. “Skin care technology has come a long way and there are actually two devices that can really help acne sufferers,” said the spokesperson. “The first is a Clarisonic Cleansing System to ensure a good cleaning of your skin and pores and the other is LED light treatment from LightStim.” LightStim is being called a great skin care device that can heal and prevent acne. Its combination of blue, red, and infrared wavelengths assists with the following: * Calms redness and inflammation brought on by acne * Clinically demonstrated to destroy acne bacteria, P. acnes * Decreases pore size * Helps heal acne scars * Treats blackheads “While skin care devices are excellent in the fight against acne, using good topical skin care treatment is essential,” said the spokesperson. “What works best is an acne treatment system and they can cost anywhere from $35 to $150.” The best acne treatments include: * Dermalogica Clean Start Kit * Obagi Clenziderm MD * Skin Care Heaven Basic Acne Clarifying System “When shopping around for the right acne treatment system, it’s important to find products that stop breakouts, but at the same time, help keep your skin hydrated,” she added. “A great system will include a deep pore cleanser, a daytime and nighttime topical, and even a mask that absorbs excess oil.” The right skin care regimen can stop acne in its tracks.

Skin care technology has come a long way. And the New Year is making it possible for everyone to have healthier, younger and more beautiful skin. While a daily topical skin care routine is fantastic, adding FDA cleared technology will boost those skin care goals to new heights. Skin Care Heaven, a leading e-commerce store and quaint storefront in Encinitas, handpicks only the best skin care devices. It’s a perfect starting point for those new to the world of skin care technology because their savvy professionals offer a wealth of information. “People are so excited about new skin care technology because now they can have spa treatments in the privacy of their own home,” said Skin Care Heaven’s spokesperson. “We’ve done the homework for you and stocked our shelves with quality devices which are FDA cleared.” One of the most popular devices to have hit the market shelves is the Clarisonic Cleansing System. “Clarisonic is such an important first step because it cleanses your skin and buffs away impurities,” the spokesperson said. She added, “And not many people are aware that this is the same company who introduced the sonic toothbrush so they are really scientifically driven and have earned a lot of consumer respect over the years.” Clarisonic users like the brush head varieties to ensure head to toe sonic cleansing. This special system also does the following:
“A superior handheld anti-aging device which offers micro-current technology is produced by NuFACE,” she said, adding how they have a few different selections to meet various skin type needs. “This device superstar invigorates muscles beneath the skin through its micro-current technology and the results include tighter skin, toned and lifted cheekbone and brow areas, and overall skin rejuvenation.” In less than five minutes a day, NuFACE will uncover more luminous skin. Another trailblazer in skin care is LED light therapy. This type of at-home treatment addresses anti-aging and acne prone skin. Skin Care Heaven chose LightStim for its LED light therapy choice since it is FDA cleared and easy-to-use. “What separates LightStim from other types of LED light therapy is its unique application of red, amber and infrared LED light,” the spokesperson said. She continued, “The LightStim Professional Anti-Aging Light Treatment offers all three combinations which boost collagen and elastin for younger looking skin.” This LightStim also helps in areas such as:
“LightStim’s acne light therapy calms irritated skin while combating pimples. This great LED light therapy also kills p. acnes, lessens pore size, improves acne scars, and treats blackheads,” she said. Adding skin care technology to that New Year’s resolution list will be the easiest goal to achieve because the right devices will uncover gorgeous skin in no time at all.

Posted for Anti AgingBeautySkin Care On February 11, 2012
Our lifestyle influences the way our skin looks. Although many might think their skin is rugged, the truth of the matter is it’s delicate and needs tender loving care from the inside out. Our skin protects us from the outdoor elements and harsh environments, so in turn we need to renew it with better daily habits. Here are some tips to achieve better looking skin that everyone will envy. Skin Care Routine: It’s so important to have a daily skin care regimen which includes at least a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. For those serious about keeping their skin youthful, it’s important to find the right skin care products for a particular skin type. Whether it’s anti-aging, acne fighting, dry skin, combination or normal skin, do locate the right product line for maximum results. Skin Care Heaven offers an array of top skin care inventory for all skin types. Be sure to check out our “heavenly deal of the day” for extra discount prices. Teaming up with a skin care professional is another great pathway, too. Wear Sunscreen Daily: Before you walk out the door, be sure to wear sunscreen. In fact, apply it about 15 to 20 minutes before going outside. UVA and UVB rays cause rapid premature skin aging, and even worse, skin cancer. Be it a bright sunny afternoon or an overcast day harmful rays will penetrate through and do its damage. This is why wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen every day is so important. When purchasing a broad spectrum sunscreen, important ingredients to look for are:
Literally, sunscreen is one of the top defenders in any anti-aging skin care regimen. The sooner you start wearing it, the better your skin will be. Stop Smoking: While much research has touted the negative health issues of smoking, another area it can wreak havoc on is the skin. Smoking can fast forward fine lines and wrinkles, paleness, and grayish facial coloring. These side effects can add years to your face. Cigarette smoke changes the blood vessels in the skin causing them to shrink and slow down the blood flow. Ultimately, this leads to less oxygen. And nutrients such as vitamins A and C are unable to reach the upper skin layer. A breakdown in the skin will eventually happen sooner than later. Another reason to kick the habit is the damage to an enzyme which destroys collagen and elastin. Cigarette smoke will cause the skin to sag. Eat A Balanced Diet: Foods rich with antioxidants such as berries, tomatoes, and carrots are wonderful for the skin. Other great antioxidants to incorporate into a diet can also include:
Limit your alcohol and coffee intake since caffeine can dehydrate the skin which will help encourage fine lines and wrinkles. Water is good for the skin so keep track that you are drinking eight glasses a day. A healthy lifestyle is essential to feeling and looking young – and these simple steps can help anyone achieve that goal. Caring for Oily Skin

It glistens and it shines… It’s as greasy as its glossy! Yeah… I am talking about oily skin. Those who have it know it what goes into its care. It’s a losing battle against shine and grease on the face! So let me tell you some intricacies about oily skin and how to set it right! Overactive sebaceous glands! They are responsible for the increased production of sebum that further leads to oiliness of the skin. When sebaceous glands secrete more than normal amounts of oil, the skin pores stretch out and darken which then are called blackheads. Other deciding factors of oily skin are genetic make up, hormonal changes during adolescence, medications and use of certain unsuitable skin care products. Well… genetics and hormones are something you cannot do much about, but there are many other things that you can do at your end to ensure undue oiliness doesn’t reside on your skin. Here are some tips that you should keep in mind: • Use skin care products that are specially formulated for your particular skin type • Cleanse your face every morning and night so as to remove any dirt, impurities and make up residues. Do not cleanse more than twice a day as it will give way to skin dryness. Use mild water based cleansers that cleans the face but don’t irritate the skin. Avoid using cream based cleansers. • Wear a sunscreen with high SPF content of 30 or more throughout the day. Apply it at least 15-20 minutes before venturing out and reapply as and when required. • Follow an effective skin care regimen on daily basis and nourish your skin well. The Shelf Life of Skin Care Products

Skin care products don’t have an expiration date. So, this makes things a bit tricky in figuring out when to toss out skin care products before they go bad. As chief officer of an online skin care product store, a producer of my own product line, and operation of a new day spa, it’s important to understand the potency of a product and when it’s time to pitch it. Our health always comes first. To keep track, some suggest writing a date on the packaging but so many of us forget to recheck it. Instead, a better way is to use your computer or cell phone calendar with “alarm” reminders for a 3, 6, 9 and 12 month checkup to see if it’s product trashcan time. While many think their products may last up to two years that really may not be the case on all types of skin care and beauty products. For example, if a cream or lotion product has turned thin or lumpy, chuck it. Other signs to watch out for are:
And anti aging products which contain antioxidants, retinol, and vitamins are always at a higher risk for a sooner expiration date. So be sure lids are replaced tightly. To keep bacterial contamination from happening, keep your fingers out of those containers. When bacteria gets in there, the product is ruined and there’s no turning back. A perfectly new skin care product can go bad instantly once bacteria invades it. Other helpful tips are:
Because there are no regulations and expiration dates, it’s really up to you to figure out when it’s time to part with your products. At first, it may feel like you are throwing away money, but in the end, you are saving your body from the threat of bacterial contamination. And no one wants to risk that. Remember, these products only last so long once that lid is officially unscrewed. Although moisturizers, serums, and creams tend to last 6 months to a year, some product ingredients can speed up the expiration date such as:
It’s important to point out that if you stick with your skin care routine and are mindful of bacterial contamination, chances are you’ll use up your product before it expires. The Best Acne Treatments Out There
