Have fun this New Year 2008

Within few hours we are all stepping into new year. This New Year 2008 should be a promising and prosperous Year for all of you. Plan for a beautiful New Years Eve party for celebrating the new beginning in the top places like Goa, Shimla, Singapore, London, New York. Find information about top cruise vacation for your new year holidays. You can find plenty in news papers.

Beginning of New Year is the time for fun, frolic and excitement. People rejoice in the festive spirit of New Year. They sing, dance, exchange gifts, eat sweets; they don’t miss a single chance to have New Year fun. Merriment is in the air! Fun during New Year time has its own charm and magic. This is the time, which people of the whole world celebrate – irrespective of cast, creed and color. The methods of celebration may change according to place but the New Year joy in the heart of each person remains the same. People exuberate in this enjoyment and forget all their worries and tensions. Also people bury old grudges and form new relationships. New Year fun entices everyone.

The enchantment of the coming year is so immense that people start planning for the New Year parties much in advance, so that they can rejoice every single moment of the New Years Eve. New Year parties have their own mystical charisma that all the guests get soaked in the delight during the party. Some people also plan to visit distant locations during this time, which proves to be a very good break from the day-to-day routine life. A few days off from the daily monotone are quite refreshing and soothing.

DOs AND DONTs FOR ACNE

Do's and dont's for acne and important precautions to be taken

1. Avoid using oil-based creams, ointments and make-up products.
2. Do not rub, squeeze or pick pustules.
3. Follow sin-care routine scrupulously.
4. Do not use any beauty soaps or moisturisers. Use a medicated soap.
5. Try to have regular sleeping hours. Odd sleeping hours can flare-up all these problems.
6. Supplement your diet with lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, sprouts, and fruit juice.
7. In case of severe acne, consult the doctor.

Acne Precautions to be taken:

  • Avoid using cosmetics, which contain Vaseline.
  • Choose non-alkaline soap/face wash.
  • Do not use any facial cream or other products containing socetyl stearate, isopropyl isostearate, isopropyl palmitate, isopropyl myristate & sodium chloride. They can cause acne.

Night routine for acne: Remove your make-up with a liquid make-up remover. Wash with soap and water and then apply an anti-pimple/acne cream.

Morning routine for acne: Wipe your face with an anti-acne lotion. Let this lotion dry naturally. If you do not want to use an acne lotion, use an astringent or rose water. Apply calamine lotion. This acts like a protective lotion.

ACNE CAUSES AND PRECAUTIONS

The appearence of blackheads or comedones, small cysts and scars is called acne. It is unwanted spot on neck, face, cheeks, forehead, back, shoulder and chest.

It occurs at Young or Teenage due to hormonal imbalance which takes place at the onset of puberty.

When human adolescence begins, the activity of glands increases which causes the sebaceous glands to secrete a larger amount of oil which lubricates the skin and this clogs the pores causing acne. A person should wash his face regularly with plain water about 4-5 times a day.

Factors making acne worse are:

  • Environmental irritants such as pollution and high humidity makes the condition worse.
  • Change of hormone levels in adolescent girls and adult women two to seven days before their menstrual period starts.
  • Friction caused by leaning or rubbing the skin.
  • Hard scrubbing of skin.

Who suffers from acne?

People of all races and ages get the acnes but it is most common in teenagers. This problem reduces when the person is their mid 30’s

Precautions for acne are:

Pastry food and Chocolates, high starch and fatty food and dried food, seafood, spicy food, soft drinks should be avoided

Avoid whole milk.Skimmed milk should be taken instead. Intake of sugar should be minimized.

Reduce Intake of salt . Junk food and consumption of fats must be avoided. You should also avoid the foods having high content of trans-fatty acid. Reduce the intake of food which has iodine. Intake of juices should be more. Cucumber juice is good and should be taken daily.

You should clear the skin properly: The persons suffering from acne should wash their face two to three times a day with a mild cleanser.

Acne patients are prone to sunburn which redness the skin and makes blemishes less visible and makes the skin dry. Oil free cosmetics should be applied.

Ayurvedic and home remedies for Acne

It is seen that many a times, Conventional treatments do not work and worsen those acne,scars & inflammations. Here is a list of many home remedies for acne that you can try conveniently any time without upsetting routine. To get rid of acne and maintain a healthy skin, these home remedies are very useful.

  • Widely known, Hot wet towel compresses are the best treatment for localized infections, as heat dilates blood vessels, followed by a cold compress, which has the opposite effect.
  • Our body has its own self cleansing, self-purifying systems: keeping these systems working in perfect order is the best way of protecting yourself from toxicity. Drink 7-8 glasses of water a day. 10 glasses would be optimal, but if your anything like me its sometimes tough to get in the 8 glasses. Remember your skin is the largest organ of your body and is the first to lose moisture and become dehydrated.
  • Drink Herbal Water : It is made by boiling hair of 1 corn, with 1 to 2 fenugreek seeds in a glass full of water.
  • Almond Oil is good acne home remedy for dryness & inflammation of the skin. The outer cover (endocarp) of 2-3 can be ground with water & applied over the face daily. This is good for removing scars of old pimples.
  • Fresh juice of apricots applied on your face is very good for sunburn, itching, exzema and natural cystic acne treatment.
  • Application of Bengal Gram Powder (flour) mixed with curds is also a very effective treatment for pimples & other skin infections & allergies. Green Gram powder flour, mixed in water or glycerine is an excellent face wash in place of soap to remove dirt without skin irritation, and also a very effective bleach for a good complexion.
  • Cucumber Juice alone or mixed with juices of carrot, lettuce or alfalfa when applied over the face is excellent home remedy for pimples. Grated cucumber can also serve the same purpose.
  • Curd or buttermilk is good for skin irritation. Curds along with wheat flour or bran is a good cleanser and beneficial for dry skin.
  • Fenugreek Leaves - A paste of fresh leaves applied over the face every night and washed with warm water prevents pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, dryness, wrinkles etc.

Fenugreek Seeds : A decoction made of 1 tsp. Methi seeds boiled in 1 ltr. of water for a couple of minutes and applied on the face is an ideal prevention for formation of blackheads, whiteheads, pimples etc. It also helps in dryness, wrinkles & is an excellent face wash & cleanser

Woman's Guide to Coping with Acne at Any Age

Woman's Guide to Coping with Acne at Any Age
by Tina Alster, M.D. and Dr. Tina Alster

Book Description
An essential and comprehensive guide to acne for women of all ages
Acne is no longer just a teenage affliction. In fact, dermatologists often refer to it as a woman's disease, and drugstore shelves are filled with acne products specifically geared toward adult women. But how do you choose from the overwhelming selection of treatments? Which products are appropriate to use as you grow older, become pregnant, or enter menopause? How can you work with a dermatologist to get the most out of prescription acne medications?
Lydia Preston answers all of these questions and more, with up-to-date information drawn from her years of reporting on dermatology, as well as her own long personal experience with acne. In Breaking Out, she shares the wisdom of dozens of doctors and scientists who have devoted their careers to studying and treating acne, including:
· Guidelines for buying and using over-the-counter products
· Treatment for acne scars
· Emergency acne remedies and camouflage tips
· Alternative treatments, including herbal remedies, acupuncture, dietary approaches, and ways to unlock the mind-skin connection
No one has to live with acne or its consequences. Breaking Out is an invaluable guide to understanding and combating acne that women of all ages can turn to with confidence. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Introduction
by Tina Alster, M.D.
Acne is an elusive and resourceful foe. It is stubborn, with a remarkable ability to shrug off the most aggressive medical treatments. It is unpredictable, adept at appearing or disappearing without rhyme or reason. And it is malicious, capable of inflicting terrible damage in the form of physical scars that disfigure the face and emotional wounds that lacerate the psyche.
Most of the women who come to my office with acne or acne scarring have spent years battling this tenacious adversary. They are fed up with embarrassing breakouts and with remedies that haven't worked for them. Many are devastated by the facial scarring that confronts them each time they look into a mirror or catch sight of their reflection in a store window. And they all are sick and tired of waiting for it to just go away. Even though adult acne is a common phenomenon, with as many as half of all women experiencing at least occasional flare-ups, most of my female acne patients can scarcely believe that they are still breaking out in their twenties and thirties, let alone their forties and fifties!
A few years ago, writer Lydia Preston was one of these patients -- frustrated by years of fighting acne, and desperately unhappy about the scars on her face. These were experiences that she soon drew on when, after undergoing several surgical procedures to repair the scars, she collaborated with me on a book about my specialty, cosmetic laser surgery. I can safely say I have never met a journalist or researcher who became more thoroughly immersed in any subject.
Lydia spent hours watching me and the other dermatologists in my office at work -- and then spent many more hours grilling each of us about what she had observed. She interviewed my nurses and aestheticians -- and even my office manager. She pored over medical journals and textbooks. She attended dermatology meetings to hear other specialists lecture. And she sat down for long, heart-to-heart conversations with dozens of my patients -- many of them other acne sufferers -- gaining the kind of insight into their emotional and practical concerns that busy physicians rarely have the time to explore.
It is clear that she has brought the same dedication and passion for detail to this book about acne in women. As any dermatologist will instantly recognize from the names cited in the text, she has interviewed many of the world's leading acne experts -- true giants of dermatology, whose research constitutes the foundation for modern acne treatment. She has similarly sought out renowned authorities on acne scarring and scar treatment, on cosmetics and cosmetic chemistry, on alternative therapies, and on the psychological ramifications of skin disease.
The result is a uniquely comprehensive examination of the myriad complexities of acne and the confusing welter of treatment options. The book's exceptionally clear explanations of how acne occurs and how different remedies work or don't work to eliminate acne should come as a revelation to anyone frustrated by years of persistent treatment failure. It will certainly be a source of reassurance and wisdom to which any woman can turn with confidence at any time when an acne outbreak occurs -- whether she is exasperated by periodic flares or heartsick over disfiguring cysts or scars.
How do you sort through the hundreds of competing over-the-counter acne preparations that now crowd drugstore, supermarket, and department store shelves to zero in on the handful that are likely to be most effective for you? How do you avoid things that make acne worse? How can you work with a dermatologist to get the most out of prescription acne medicines? Treatments frequently fail simply because patients are not fully informed about how to use them correctly. What can you do to ensure that your medicines will work as they are supposed to? How will you cope with any side effects that may occur? And what steps do you take if your condition changes, as acne-prone skin inevitably does with age, or the hormonal shifts of pregnancy, menstruation, menopause, or any of a dozen other reasons?
What about acne scarring? Even very mild or occasional breakouts have the potential to leave permanent scars, and despite numerous exciting innovations in dermatologic surgery, these mutilating rents in the fabric of the skin remain among the most daunting challenges that face any cosmetic surgeon. In many instances, the most effective techniques are also the riskiest ones. How do you weigh the relative risks and benefits? How do you find a qualified practitioner who will employ the best and safest methods for your skin type -- and for the types of scars you have?
Finally, how do you heal the inner scars of acne? Countless studies testify to its damaging emotional impact. How does any woman get past those feelings to get over acne once and for all and move on with her life?
Breaking Out addresses those questions, and many more, with information drawn from Lydia's own experience with acne and the toll it takes, her years of reporting on dermatology, and her sympathetic exploration into other patients' concerns. I know it will be invaluable to all of my acne patients, and I look forward to recommending it to them.
Dr. Tina Alster, clinical professor of dermatology at Georgetown University, is director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery and consulting dermatologist for Lancôme, luxury products division of L'Oréal USA, Inc.

Acne all my life5
People are different and I have tried all of the popular methods to cure my acne and all were mainly chemical. Like Murad and Proactive, also everything the dermo prescribed. And it would all work for a week and then my skin was awful again. Or it would destroy my skin. If chemicals haven't been working for you try natural and try Lush!!

My routine
Fresh Farmacy
Tea tree water
Enzymion moisturizer
Ocean salt couple times a week.

The farmacy soap is drying but followed with the other products that goes away fast. Also the soap is good for spot treatment! This has saved my skin. I look like a new person and everyone I know has complimented me on how different I look. This routine has changed my skin. Wanted to pass along the info.
10 stars if I could do it.

A Weird and Wonderful Little Cleanser5
The smell is less than fantastic, but Fresh Farmacy is the ideal remedy for skin with ANY problems. I've been a longtime devotee of Lush, and I received a sample of it with an order last year. I used it to wash my face and was amazed by how well it cleaned - and calmed - my dry, eczema-prone skin. Initially the texture and smell of the bar turned me off, but I'll never doubt this little bar of goodness ever again! Combine it with Ocean Salt scrub a few times a week for obscenely soft and glowing skin. Thank you, Lush!

Not a miracle, but still nice.4
I have moderate acne and I used my entire bar of Fresh Farmacy. This was no miracle; I still have acne. But what I loved is that as soon as I used FF my skin felt clean and soft. It didn't prevent my acne from occuring, but it did calm the acne that I had and made it less red. I would suggest rinsing well after you wash your face with FF so that there is no residue left on your skin. So far, this has worked best for me! :)

Yoga for Acne

Apart from various medications and herbal therapies to cure acne there are also some other cures such as yoga that may give benefit in Acne and may cure also.

.
Your face will become bright and radiant who practices certain types of Yogic Asanas.

Yoga can help you by increasing the blood flow to your face. It helps in flushing away the toxins and provides nutrients to your skin. It is important to avoid constipation to keep the metabolism in the correct working condition. To get the best results along with it, you will have to change your eating habits for better. Yoga suggests the use of healthy Indian spices like turmeric and coriander which are natural antibiotics, rather than chili powder, which can cause burning in the stomach.

If you are suffering from acne, you must practice yoga for an hour daily. Your session should include the standing forward bending postures and inverted postures followed by ten minutes of deep relaxation in the supine posture.

Understanding and thereon practicing the concepts of yoga help one to move towards a balanced functioning of mind which paves the way for production of healthy chemicals, disruption of which is the root cause of acne.

To practice effective acne treating yoga, learning the supine posture is a must. Here is how you can go about it:

1) Lie on your back and place your hands beside your body. Your legs should be straight.
2) Using your elbows raise the chest far enough from the floor so that top of the head rests on the floor.
3) Place your left foot (heel) on the right thigh, close to the hip joint. Do the same with your right foot (heel) on the left thigh. Hold your feet firmly with your hands.
4) Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
5) Stay in the position for a minute and return back to normal.
6) You may repeat the process again.


Deep relaxation in the supine posture is a very beneficial yoga technique, which has its effects on the mind and the body. It deepens the breath, relaxes the digestive system and promotes concentration. The basic problem behind acne is concentration of wastes inside the body, which start exhibiting outside in the form of acne. Yoga helps your body to get rid of that unwanted waste. After a practice of 3 or 4 months (preferably before sunrise) your face will definety becomes bright and radiant. Yoga improves your Aura also.

So get a good yoga teacher and practice daily for improvement of your health and vigour.

Is ACNE LASER TREATMENT SUITABLE FOR YOU ?

The women from time immemorial are proud of their beauty. They feel insecure if their face is laced with Acne, Pimple and other spots on her face. Women with spotless face are admired by one and all.

If there are acne, women afraid of exposing their faces to sunlight. And they feel shy to show their faces in day time also. But now light is being used to cure their Acne i.e. by laser light or laser beam or any other name you call it.

Lasers used in treatments are described as "emitting laser pulses" to create measured damage to the second layer of acne-scarred skin in order to induce the body's formation of new collagen cells that will fill in the space of atrophic scars ("Lasers Get under the," 2005, p. 35)

Laser Resurfacing or "Lasering" was actually discovered by accident, says Richard Felten, a senior reviewer for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) "In the course of treating the acne with scars with a laser, surgeons noticed that after resurfacing the skin around the scar to make the scar less visible, small adjacent wrinkles were greatly diminished."(Greeley, 2000, p. 34)

The process of laser resurfacing involves a controlled "burning" procedure where a laser is used to "vaporize" top layers of facial skin. This eliminates wrinkles and lines caused by sun damage and facial expressions as well as remove acne scars. Burning of old skin produces a fresh surface for new skin to grow. (Greeley, 2000, p. 34)

Noted Plast Surgeion and President of the Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Dr. Stephen Perkins describes laser treatment as "very appealing to people." The opportunity of freshening up the skin's surface as well as getting more youthful, non sun-damaged skin is something which most people would like to have, he further states. (Greeley, 2000, p. 34)

Laser treatments are not for everyone however, Perkins cautions.

But read what experts and specialists in this field says:

"Certain people with very sensitive skin cannot tolerate the medications and lubricants used on the skin during healing." (Greeley, 2000, p. 34) He further adds that people from darker skinned ethnic groups may also experience problems as laser treatments can alter the color of skin in rather dramatic and unpredictable ways.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Tina Alster of the Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington also advises people about thinking of laser treatments as easy. She says potential patients must be prepared for a period of recuperation where they may experience bruising and swelling.

"They will have a crusty, oozy, bruised, scabbed, raw-appearing face," she says. In addition to this, patients should not expect completely unlined and unscarred skin. "I can't deliver that," she says. "I am not able to give unlined, unscarred skin." Patients, however, can expect a 50 percent or greater improvement. (Greeley, 2000, p. 34)

Prolonged redness of skin, tenderness, easy flushing and changes in the skin's pigmentation or hyper-pigmentation are just a few of the possible side-effects of laser treatments according to Dr. Rox Anderson, director of the Laser Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. (Greeley, 2000, p. 34)

Patients are also advised to make sure of their treating physician's credentials.

In 2005, 60 women filed suit against London surgeon Fayez Abu Mahfouz for leaving them with burned and scarred faces after they're been treated with laser for various skin problems.("60 Patients to Sue," 2005, p. 9)

Of this Dr Perkins blames unscrupulous manufacturers of lasers who puts profit over making sure that buyers of their product are sufficiently trained to operate such devices. There are also equally unscrupulous and unqualified doctors and cosmetologists who are quick to take advantage of the high prices patients are willing to pay to have their skin problems treated. In some states in the United States like New York and Tennessee, operators of laser tools are not required to have medical degrees.

Potential patients should also keep in mind that skin abrasion whether done with the use of chemicals, abrasive materials or laser basically removes one or more layers of skin which can be painful and cause skin flushing, swelling and in some cases, scarring ("Laser Facts", 2002)

Having read the opinions, as above decide yourself, whether Acne is suitable for your skin or not also.

DOG - A wonderful creation of God.

Dog is a most wonderful creation of God. It is a most faithful animal being in this universe. It gives you unending love and affection. It does not bother whether you love her or not, but she continues to love you until her last breath.

To many of us an animal is a best friend. A pet can be a valued companion and quite often just like a member of the family. People choose all sorts of animals as pets. So whether your pet is a cat, dog, fish, hamster, snake, spider, ferret, or other animal your pet is very important to you.

But out of all these animals Dog’s companion can be held in high esteem.

You cannot blindly believe any abody even your siblings, friends, relatives or your spouse. But you can believe her blindly.

Sometimes you may leave her outside your house to guard and throw some bread and butter to her. All the night she may be guarding you and your loved ones in that bitting cold or with mosquito bites. But when your open your door it may jump on you licking whole your body with love affection.

A case I have seen of my relative, who has a Dog whom he looks very affectionately. He died normally at his age of 65, but that Dog didn’t take any food for many days and sitting and weeping for him and that too died after four months. This moved many people. I think there are like these cases in this world.

Even in Mahabharata, a Great Hindu Mythological Epic, at the end when Pandavas are journeying towards Heaven, a Dog accompanied them. But when Pandavas are being taken to heaven, then the elder of all Pandavas, Yudhistar insisted that Dog also must be taken to Heaven.

This shows how much importance was given to this wonderful Pet during those days.

Nowadays Dogs are doing wonderful jobs in Police and Army.
