			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Skin, a four alphabet word but does a lot of work. It is one of the biggest organs of our body. It is composed of three primary layers:</p>
<p>1.	The epidermis, it is the outer layer of the skin covering the exterior body surfaces, which acts as a barrier to pathogens and bacteria. It provides waterproofing and acts as a shield against any kind of infection. It does not contain any blood vessels. It is made up of four types of cells:</p>
<p>a.	keratinocytes,<br />
b.	melanocytes,<br />
c.	Langerhans and<br />
d.	Merkels. </p>
<p>The epidermis also helps the skin to regulate body temperature.</p>
<p>2.	The dermis, it is the deep vascular inner layer of the skin, which serves as a location for the Outgrowth of skin. It consists of connective tissue and cushions the body from any kind of stress and strain.<br />
3.	The hypodermis, it is the layer of cells secretes the tough semitransparent horny substance called chitinous cuticle.</p>
<p>We can protect our skin in various ways. The most normal way used by almost everyone now days is skin cream. No doubt, it is effective but it is artificial and its effect fades away after a particular amount of time. Therefore, we must take some home remedies. We should avoid unnecessarily exposure of our skin to sun. </p>
<p><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/j_jzW94LluI&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/j_jzW94LluI&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object></p>
<p>A balanced diet definitely helps by giving your skin a healthy glow. Drinking an optimum amount of water hydrates your skin and keeps it blemish free. We must avoid excessive consumption of heavy and oily foods. We can also go for good quality natural skin care creams, as there is no harm in using natural creams.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the skin ages, its strength decreases and can be easily damaged by any outer attack or physical injury. Its repair system also slows down which results in slow clotting of blood at times of major physical injury. Thus, skin loses its ability to heal itself as the person ages. Aged skin also receives less blood flow and interference in gland activity decreases. Skin ageing is mainly caused by fall in elasticity.
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.acnebook.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/aging.jpg" alt="Aging" title="Aging" width="337" height="506" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16" /></p>
<p>We can control this fall in elasticity my various means, not to worry, we can also regain the elasticity of skin. There are various techniques to do so. Now days everyone is very much concerned about there health and health related problems. This increased concern of public towards their health has caused the development of various skin care centers and skin care products.</p>
<p>A highly qualified and a good health professional can help you in selecting an appropriate skin care product. He would tell you about various ill effects of the ingredients used in low quality products. One should always go for a high quality certified product containing natural ingredients such as a protein array also known as Functional Keratin, Phytessence Wakame etc. because artificial ingredients can harm your skin in many other ways instead of healing your skin.</p>
<p>Other option other than aging creams is cosmetic surgery. They promise quick results, but most people forget about long revival periods, high costs and unnatural results. Many people also go their homes unsatisfied by the results. Therefore, its better one should go for natural creams instead of artificial surgery.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acne is a skin disease, which makes our face not so good looking. Blockages in follicles lead to the development of acnes. In these acnes, some material clogs skin pores or a thing grows containing pus. Acne mainly cause on our face and upper neck. Acnes may affect chest, shoulders and back. Acne is technically names as “acne vulgaris”.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v7IrkgsCsXo&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v7IrkgsCsXo&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>This mainly happens in teenage because at that time everyone goes through his or her puberty period. There are various reasons, which can cause acnes. Heredity is the main reason. It has been seen through studies that person suffering from acne tend to have somewhat low level of vitamin A flowing through their bloodstream as compare to those who are free from acne. It has also seen that in case of severe acne the circulation of vitamin E also tends to low down.</p>
<p>There are various misconceptions about acnes. Some people think dirt is the main reason of acnes but this is not true. This misconception is there because of the blackheads appear on the skin which look like dirt stuck in the opening pores of the skin. That black color is simply oxidized keratin, not dirt.</p>
<p>Acne problem require immediate attention as it can lead to various bad psychological effects. One can feel depress or can even try to commit suicide. Everyone thinks acne as a blow to his or her self-esteem. Therefore, one should take care of themselves and their children and should consult a good health professional.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The term acne comes from a Greek word, which means “in the sense of a skin eruption”. The term acne itself refers to the presence of pustules and papules. Technically, it is known as “acne vulgaris” which means “common acne” and it refers to the presence of comedones. This is the most common type of acne. Many teenagers suffer from it.
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.acnebook.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/acne-causes.jpg" alt="Acne Causes" title="Acne Causes" width="513" height="332" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8" /></p>
<p>There can be many reasons to these acnes. Some of the primary reasons are:</p>
<p>1.	Genetic history, acnes are generally genetic, tendency to develop acnes comes from our ancestors but it is not necessary that a person having an acne free family is himself or herself free from acnes as well.<br />
2.	Hormonal activity, acnes usually appears at adolescences because at this time our sex hormones are highly active.<br />
3.	 Inflammation, skin irritation is the cause of inflammation which will further gives birth to acnes.<br />
4.	Stress, when we are under stress our adrenal or stress glands produces huge amount of hormones.<br />
5.	Accumulation of dead skin over the active pores of the skin.<br />
6.	Bacteria in pores can also be the cause of acnes.<br />
7.	Anabolic steroids are also the main reason for acnes. Therefore, one should remain away from such things.<br />
8.	Amount of toxicity in body also tends to development of acne.<br />
9.	Exposure to iodides, chlorides, bromides and other halogens.<br />
10.	Exposure to dioxins also cause acnes</p>
<p>One must be aware of these causes and must take proper steps to prevent acnes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acne is an inflammatory disease, which involves sebaceous glands of the skin, characterized by:</p>
<p>1.	papules (a inflamed elevation of the skin) or<br />
2.	pustules (a blister or inflamed skin containing pus) or<br />
3.	comedones (a black tipped thing clogging a pore of the skin)</p>
<p>Acne lacerations are generally been called as pimples, spots, zits or blemishes. It is very much common at adolescences, according to the facts almost 85% of the teenager get affected by it and this may continue until their adulthood. Increase in male sex hormones is the main cause of developing acne in adolescences, which was accrues by people of both genders during puberty.
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.acnebook.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/acne.jpg" alt="Acne" title="Acne" width="506" height="337" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5" /></p>
<p>Normally for most of the people, these acnes diminish or we can say tends to disappear over time. Generally they fade away after one reaches his or hers early twenties but in some cases one may suffer from them for a very long period. The face and the upper neck are body parts most commonly affected by the acnes. Chest, shoulders and back may suffer from acnes as well. While the lesions on the upper arms are considered to be as acnes sometimes but they are often keratosis pilaris, not acne.</p>
<p>Aside its effects on skin, it has many psychological effects too, such as reduced self-respect, depression etc. in some cases this depression can lead to suicides. As it usually happen at an age when we use to be most socially insecure i.e. at adolescences. Therefore, one must prefer advance and fast treatment for acnes to reduce its overall impact on our social and physical life.</p>
