Continued from page 1 Stress Stress can often exacerbate a number of skin conditions, including acne, hives, dandruff and and eczema. In today's world we are more susceptible to stress than ever. It is now questionable whether the so called stress free life now exists. Even a seemingly simple task like taking the kids to school can be an incredibly stressful experience. Unfortunately for most of us stress is unavoidable. All we can do is deal with it with it comes and try not to let it envelop us. Easier said than done.UV light Nearly 90% of skin damage results from exposes to the sun's UV or ultraviolet rays. This damage manifests itself in premature aging, sagging, discolouration and in many cases skin cancer. The sun adversely effects the skin in three ways:- it slows the growth of new skin cells and the discarding of old cells. - it stimulates skin cells to produce enzymes which destroy collagen; an essential component of our skinOf course we can't stay out of the sun forever but we can take precautions. You should always wear as high a sun protection as possible, even if it's an overcast day. A large percentage of skin damage occurs on cloudy days because people wrongly assume they are not exposed to the sun and therefore don't protect themselves. Do not linger in the sun during the hottest part of the day form 11am to 3pm. In you are sunbathing, sit in the shade and wear a hat to cover your face. And finally don't use a sunbed. You may think it's a small price to pay for a tan but you will only begin to see the real price in the years to come. You will have nothing but regrets. |
