We should care for our skin as much as would for the other parts of our body. A dermatologist can help you in de-stressing the skin. What you need is a good skin rejuvenation program that is really not that expensive.
Skin stress. What is it? Well, the term may sound and look fancy but the condition is really familiar and we should all know that. Skin stress simply refers to various skin conditions that make our skin unhealthy and tired. There’s acne, blemishes, lines, etc. A Q&A with a dermatologist reveals helpful insights in good skin care.
Q: Consulting a dermatologist has always been a “girl thing.” How do men view skin care?
A: Generally, men seek only medical treatment for major skin problems. But there are a growing number of males who seek dermatologists for treatment of acne or a simple facial treatment. But for purely aesthetic purposes, women are more apt to go to the dermatologist. I guess this is because women are naturally vainer than men especially with regards to skin care and appearance. Nevertheless, there is a trend nowadays called metrosexuals and these are the men who are very conscious of how their skin look They seek skin products that would suit them and engage in skin treatments to make the skin as healthy as possible. People now see skin care as part of a bigger body care regimen so they go to saunas or spa where they also offer skin or facial treatments. I guess this is the influence of media and how the male or female body is portrayed. But more importantly, we are now very health conscious and we are giving more attention to out bodies to be able to get rid of stress and unhealthy habits. Q: What can you recommend for the skin to be de-stressed? De-stressing the skin is a wonderful experience and everyone should do it every once in a while. There’s the good facial treatment to unblock the skin pores and make them breathe again. You can also get a facial scrub to remove deep-seethed dirt, oil and dead skin cells. A more sophisticated skin lover may buy his/her favorite potions like moisturizers, astringents, etc. Q: If one is exposed most of the time to the sea, the wind, and sunlight, what advice can you give for skin protection? A: In those cases, they must always have their skin protected from the sun. We all know the ill effects of too much exposure to the ultraviolet rays. It also helps if they put on sun block if exposure to the sun is really unavoidable which is really the situation most of the time for most people. Skin moisturizer is also a good thing to avoid drying out of the skin. Drinking lots of fluids also contribute to good skin as well as adequate sleep. This last one, sleep, is probably the best gift you can give your skin. Sleep or rest gives our skin the time to breathe and rejuvenate from the day’s stressful activities. This is why we generally feel better after waking up and our skin looks better. As the day drags on, the skin is constantly exposed to various stresses.
