Top 10 do's and don’ts from dermatologists

People have different skin colors mainly because their melanocytes produce different amount and kinds of melanin. The genetic mechanism behind human skin color is mainly regulated by the enzyme tyrosinase, which creates the color of the skin, eyes, and hair shades.The actual skin colour of different humans is affected by many substances, although the single most important substance determining human skin colour is the pigment melanin. Melanin is produced within the skin in cells called melanocytes and it is the main determinant of the skin colour of darker-skinned humans. 10 Do's and Don'ts from Dermatologists Although oily skin can clog pores and lead to increased acne breakouts, oily skin also has many benefits. Oil helps protect the skin, and people with oily skin tend to have thicker skin and fewer wrinkles. The key is to find a balance between excess sebum and maintaining the skin's natural moisture. Dermatologists recommend the following tips to help control oily skin: Wash your face every morning, evening and after exercise. Resist the temptation to scrub your skin while washing, even to remove makeup. Scrubbing irritates your skin, which can make it look worse. CHOOSE skin care products that are labeled "oil-free" and "non-comedogenic." This means that products with these labels — including cleansers, moisturizers and makeup — won't clog your pores or cause acne. USE a gentle, foaming face wash. Many people believe that oily skin needs to use a strong face wash to dry out their skin. However, using a face wash that is too harsh can irritate the skin and trigger increased sebum production. Instead, look for a gentle, gentle face wash. DO NOT use oil or alcohol based cleaners. These can irritate your skin. Apply moisturizer daily. Even if you have oily skin, it's still important to use a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. To save time and protect your skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, look for a moisturizer that also contains a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. USE sunscreen outside. Sunscreen helps prevent sun damage that could lead to wrinkles, age spots and even skin cancer. To prevent acne breakouts, look for sunscreens that contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, and avoid sunscreens that contain fragrance or oils. Choose oil-free and water-based makeup. Don't sleep with makeup on. Always remove all makeup before going to bed. USE tissue paper throughout the day. Gently press the paper to your face and leave for a few seconds to absorb the oil. Do not rub the paper on your face as this will spread the oil to other areas. Do not touch your face during the day. Although it's tempting to touch your face, your hands can spread dirt, oil, and bacteria to your face. Only touch your face when cleansing, moisturizing, or applying sunscreen or makeup, and make sure your hands are clean first.People in countries like Denmark, Finland, and Norway tend to look at beauty as deeper than what you put on your skin. write by sana nadeem elahi qadri
