When you go through your morning makeup routine, your goal is obviously to improve your appearance. But how is that seemingly harmless, perfectly applied layer of powder really affecting your skin? Most of the time, makeup doesn't have any major negative effects -- other than maybe the early-morning frustration of applying it. However, it could cause a few skin reactions. Most of these reactions aren't severe or long-lasting, but you might want to know how your makeup is affecting your skin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px; width: auto;">
Some people experience allergic reactions to common cosmetic-product ingredients. These reactions can come in two types: <strong style="font-style: inherit;">irritant contact dermatitis</strong>, which is an itching or burning reaction to a product irritating the skin, and <strong style="font-style: inherit;">allergic contact dermatitis</strong>, which is more of a "true" allergy to specific ingredients that results in swelling, itching, or blisters [source: <a href="http://www.aad.org/public/publications/pamphlets/general_cosmeceutical.html" style="color: #005288; text-decoration: none;">American Academy of Dermatology</a>]. Both of these types of reactions are most commonly caused by things like fragrances or preservatives in makeup and other skin care products.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px; width: auto;">
Makeup can also cause acne. You'll usually be fine if you're diligent about removing your makeup at the end of the day and immediately after exercise. However, certain oils in many cosmetics can cause or worsen acne. This type of acne, is mild, common and characterized by blocked pores and reddened bumps on the chin, cheeks and forehead. Acne cosmetica occurs when oils from your makeup collect in and clog your pores, so thick liquid or cream products are more often culprits than are lighter products like powders.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px; width: auto;">
To help avoid these reactions, look for makeup products that are fragrance- and oil-free -- these ingredients are typically the most irritating to the skin. Also, look for products that are labeled <strong style="font-style: inherit;">hypoallergenic</strong> (they're less likely to cause allergic reactions), fragrance-free, paraben-free, and gluten-free. If you find that you develop any kind of reaction after you begin using a new makeup product, it's probably a good idea to stop using that particular product. But with a good skin care routine and quality makeup products, you can help prevent negative reactions.<br />

SkinMedica has replaced Vivite in skin care. Allergan, the company that made the Vivite skin care line, is now the company that owns and makes SkinMedica. Vivite has been discontinued, while some of the best products from the Vivite line have been reformulated and repackaged as SkinMedica.<br />
<br />
One of the best things about the new SkinMedica line? All of the products are Paraben Free!!!<br />

retinol with an antioxidant complex called PhytoShield™. <br />

targeted delivery system that helps to minimize irritation. The
efficacious formulas help renew the skin, enhance exfoliation, and
improve overall texture and tone. In fact, in a clinical study, 100% of

<br />

Drug Store "Skin Care" Products<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">As a professional in the medical aesthetics field, we often hear these common questions from our clients: What is the difference between a “professional” skin care cosmeceutical vs. a brand you can find “over-the-counter” at a drug or department store? Is there really a difference, or is it all a bunch of fancy marketing talk and pretty pictures? Can you get nice results with drugstore cosmetic brands, or will your results be better with professional cosmeceuticals? Too often, consumers fall under the spell of cosmetic company marketing and advertising claims, and will spend a lot of money on expensive over-the-counter cosmetics that really don’t work in the skin.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) divides skin care products into two distinct categories: pharmaceutical and cosmetic. Topical pharmaceuticals penetrate through the layers of the epidermis and affect the structure and function of the skin (think of prescription topical steroids or Retin-A). Cosmetics are defined as ” … articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body or any part thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance …” Pharmaceutical drugs may undergo more than 10 years of drug approval testing that may cost hundreds of millions of dollars — whereas, cosmetics do not have to prove their claims, but they can cite “scientific studies” of the ingredients used in their product formulations to validate the safety and efficacy of the ingredient formula.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Cosmeceuticals are the “happy medium” between a pharmaceutical and a cosmetic. The word “cosmeceutical” really is not categorized by the FDA, but it is a word that is used in the professional skin care arena to describe a cosmetic that actually has biological action, but is regulated as a cosmetic — meaning, again, the formula does not technically have to prove efficacy or safety, but it does contain an ingredient that may have activity in the skin.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">You will find many of the same catch phrases when you read an advertisement for skin care: “Dermatologist-Tested,” “Clinically Proven,” “Clinical Studies show that …,” “Clinically Tested.” But interpret these phrases with caution, especially when trying to choose a skin care line that works best for your practice and clientele. Since cosmetic companies really don’t have to prove efficacy claims, the special active ingredient touted in the formula only has to appear somewhere on the ingredient list – ingredients are listed in content order, from most to least, so if you see that “active” on the last half of the list (usually alphabetically) you can bet you are getting a tiny percentage (enough to be effective in the formulation?) of that specific ingredient. When you see these types of claims, start asking questions:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px; margin-left: 42pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Because many consumers “self-diagnose” when choosing a skin care product to try from a drug or department store, these products must be made safely, meaning, big cosmetic companies cannot afford to have masses of consumers with issues from using very active products — so, that skin care product may feel good and smell good, but it likely won’t have a lot of activity in the formulation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Over-the-counter cosmetics are also manufactured and distributed in very large batches, and are packed with almost as many preservatives as “active” ingredients! In addition, many over-the-counter cosmetics simply do not penetrate the skin barrier, where the ingredient formula would have a therapeutic benefit to the health of the skin. Remember too, it’s not just about one really fabulous ingredient — it’s the mixture of the right amounts of active ingredients working synergistically together that work best in the skin, similar to how oral multivitamins work internally in our bodies with a mixture of vitamins and minerals for best absorption.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 17px;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">It is important to note that many single ingredients that test very well in in-vitro testing actually have no function in human skin when mixed into a formulation — yet, we still believe the “clinical study” claims from in-vitro studies. As well, many companies that cite clinical study results will not<em>provide </em>clinical study documentation. Rare is the cosmeceutical company that tests their finished formulations and then offers full clinical study details for the public to see. You will sometimes find peer-reviewed cosmetic formulation studies in dermatology or cosmetic surgery journals, which lends more credibility to the testing process.</span></div>

No matter how active your lifestyle, the most important part of any skin care regimen is the product you select to protect your skin from UV ray damage and sun exposure. Damage from UV rays can cause premature aging, dark spots and even skin diseases. </div>

One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems — as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.</div>

From shampoo to sunscreen, we all use products to look and feel better. But could some ingredients actually be making the problem worse?</div>

“Definitely make sure there are no <strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">parabens</strong>, no <strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">sulfates</strong>, that’s a good place to at least start,” said Melissa Lenberg, a makeup artist and owner of Citrine Natural Beauty Bar in the Biltmore Fashion Park.</div>

“This is everything you use on your body. This is your deodorant, your toothpaste, your hair products,” said Lenberg. “<strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Formaldehyde </strong>is a poison; it’s what we use to embalm bodies. But it’s also what they use to give products their shelf life.”</div>

Like all medical professionals, dermatologists subscribe to the Latin proverb "primum non nocere," or "first, do no harm." But, when it comes to your beauty routine, sometimes derms really, really want to smack you upside the head. "It’s amazing what some people do to their skin," says Doris Day, M.D., dermatologist and clinical associate professor of dermatology at New York University Langone Medical Center.<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: rgb(54, 54, 54) !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Habit 1: Picking At Your Skin</strong><br />Hands off! Look, a zit only lasts a few days—a week, max—but residual redness and hyperpigmentation from picking and scratching can remain for months or even years. "Picking isn't just an issue with acne—it can cause scarring whenever and wherever you pick, whether it starts with keratosis pilaris, a bug bite, or for no reason at all," says Heidi Waldorf, M.D., dermatologist and director of laser and cosmetic dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital. "In fact, if you start scratching a spot of normal skin, after a while it will thicken. And it can become an itchy bump, also called a prurigo nodule."</div>

"Laser hair removal helps for people picking at hairs," she says. "If that hair's not there, there's nothing to pick. Resurfacing lasers like the Pixel or Photofacial can help even out hyperpigmentation."<br /></div>

<strong>Habit 2: Licking Your Lips—A Lot</strong><br />There's a myth out there that claims people can get addicted to lip balm. We checked—it's not real. "These people just have dry skin and miss the feeling of the balm when it's gone," says Day. You know what's <em>really </em>addictive? Lip licking. But when you moisten your lips that way, you actually wind up making things worse. The water in your saliva evaporates, leaving lips withered and cracked. "Saliva can contain bacteria and irritants, so you can end up with a rash around the lips as well," says Day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: rgb(54, 54, 54) !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
An aside: You might be tempted to brush your lips since flakes make lip color look particularly craggy and gross. Day says forget what you've read, and put down the toothbrush—a gentle swipe with a damp washcloth will suffice. "In trying to get a smoother look for a lipstick, brushing just makes them rougher and bumpier," she says. "Lips don't have oil glands, so you don't need to exfoliate them like the rest of your skin." </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: rgb(54, 54, 54) !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
To repair damaged, dry and cracking lips, try Vivite Lip Plumper. It brings natural moisture to your lips, plumps and helps rebalance your lips natural moisture for a smooth surface to apply non-damaging lipsticks such as our all natural Mineral Lipstick or all natural Mineral Lip Gloss. For an amazing result, apply Vivite Lip Plumper 5 mins before applying our all natural Lip Luxe lip gloss. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: rgb(54, 54, 54) !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>Habit 3: A One-and-Done SPF Style</strong><br />Nothing—and we mean <em>nothing</em>—bothers a skin doc like a patient who's blasé about their SPF game. "Caucasian patients who come in the color of red walnut tell me they don't understand how it happened when they applied an SPF 100," says Waldorf. "I show them my spotless skin after spending a week outdoors in Thailand and Brazil using only SPF 30+. What people need to understand is that you need to use enough, often enough."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: rgb(54, 54, 54) !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
You'd think derms would be on-board with ultra-high SPF sunscreens, but nope. Turns out, these provide only marginally better protection than an SPF 30 lotion, which filters more than 95 percent of UV rays. Worse, they give a false sense of security. "Just as wearing a safety belt doesn't give you permission to drive 90 miles per hour on black ice while texting, applying a high-SPF sunscreen doesn't give you permission to remain outside otherwise unprotected all day," says Waldorf.<br /><br />Apply enough broad-spectrum sunscreen to fill a shot glass—and apply it a half-hour before you go outside. (It needs time to soak in.) Then, reapply every two to four hours. For extra credit—and extra sun protection—layer on SPF-infused foundations, concealers, bronzers, blushes, and lip colors. Mineral makeup, such as Beauty Redefined's All Natural Mineral Line have a natural SPF 15 in all foundations, concealers, and blush. Try applying your natural mineral makeup with it's natural SPF, then lightly tap on your SkinMedica SPF30+ over your makeup for a sure-fire coverage. All you will need to do is apply SkinMedica SPF30+ lightly again about every 3 hours, without messing up your makeup! </div>

<strong>Habit 4: Ignoring Skin Fluctuations</strong><br />"It’s important to pay attention to your skin and give it what it needs, the way it needs it, when it needs it," says Day. That means using lightweight, mattifying products in the summer; switching to heavier, more emollient ones in the winter; and using acne-fighting products before your period starts. ("If you wait until you're broken out, you're already behind," says Day.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: rgb(54, 54, 54) !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
And don't rely on spot treatments. "Studies show that when you see a pimple, there are more in the surrounding area that haven't come up yet," she says. If your forehead is a problem area, treat the whole forehead. Ditto for the chin. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: rgb(54, 54, 54) !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">

<strong>Habit 5: Exfoliating Your Face Off</strong><br />Dermatologists understand why people love Clarisonic brushes and the super-clean feeling you get after using them or your favorite exfoliator. But chasing that beauty high has led a lot of patients to overdo it, scrubbing skin into a blotchy, irritated mess. Exfoliating too often breaks down the skin-barrier function, meaning new skin never has a chance to build up. Skin becomes more sensitive to irritation, which leads to inflammation and actually speeds aging.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: rgb(54, 54, 54) !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
For oily skin we recommend exfoliating every other day, for dry skin to exfoliate about once to twice a week, and for combination skin to exfoliate once to twice a week as well. Using the Clarisonic is not only for the benefit of exfoliating, but the technology in the Clarisonic helps to rejuvenate your natural collagen when used correctly. For more information on exfoliating and the Clarisonic, schedule a free consultation with Kelly, our skin care specialist. </div>

<strong>The question:</strong> Is not washing your face before bed every once in a while really that bad?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: rgb(54, 54, 54) !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>The expert:</strong> Dennis Gross M.D., founder of 900 5th Dermatology in New York City and creator of Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: rgb(54, 54, 54) !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<strong>The answer: </strong>The quick answer: yes, it really is <em>that</em> bad.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<span style="color: #363636;">A </span>survey over the summer revealed a third of women sleep with their makeup on at least two nights a week. Doing so can clog your pores and oil glands, says Gross. “When the makeup becomes impacted in pores, it can make them appear larger.” It also stretches them out and, unfortunately, since your skin collagen levels decline as you age, your pores won't bounce back to their original size <em>as</em> easily, says Gross.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: rgb(54, 54, 54) !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
Not only does skimping on cleansing clog and stretch your pores, Gross says that skipping your nightly washing routine can also cause inflammation—which can generate free radicals and lead to collagen breakdown. (Collagen is that amazing thing that keeps your skin firm and taut.) These factors, combined with larger pores, can make your skin age faster. So as Gross says, “It’s best to break this habit sooner rather than later.”<br />

<span class="arial12" style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Star Power:</b> Injections of botulinum toxin (brand names Botox and Xeomin) smooth away wrinkles by blocking the nerve impulses that cause muscle movement. When Botox was approved for cosmetic use in 2002, many patients wound up trading wrinkles for immobile eyebrows. In the years since, doctors have mastered how to smooth lines without making people look petrified or poker-faced. In fact, doctors now inject less toxin with each treatment than they used to. Expect results to last about three months at first. "After you've used botulinum toxin for a couple of years, it will last closer to six months," says Cheryl Karcher, MD, a New York City dermatologist. "And I have some patients who need only yearly touch-ups."<br /><br /><b>Who Might Benefit:</b> Anyone who wouldn't miss her expression lines. Botox and Xeomin are FDA approved to treat frown lines (the "11s" between the brows) but are frequently used "off-label" to uncrinkle crow's-feet and horizontal forehead lines. Some doctors also use botulinum toxin for trickier applications: to soften vertical lines in the neck, for masseter reduction or between the breasts, to smooth puckering around the lips, and to lift the corners of the mouth.<br /><br /><b>You Should Know: </b>Toxin injections can cause bruising. If injected incorrectly, they could also leave you with a droopy eyelid or—when used around the mouth—a drooling problem. "There are no long-term adverse effects caused by FDA-approved botulinum toxin," says Arielle Kauvar, MD, "but an unskilled doctor can create some pretty embarrassing, if mercifully temporary, side effects." So be sure you go to someone who knows what they are doing, and have been doing it for years.</span><br />

Hyaluronic Acid Filler</h3>
<span class="arial12" style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Star Power:</b> When applied topically, hyaluronic acid subtly plumps the skin for hours. When injected, it dramatically plumps the skin—for months. In the decade since Restylane, the first hyaluronic acid filler, was approved by the FDA, doctors have learned to use these injectables not only to soften the lines that can't be smoothed with Botox (the nasolabial folds) but also to replump the contours of the face that gradually lose definition (the cheekbones) or become hollow (the temples). Research has now shown that hyaluronic acid fillers can even help reverse aging by encouraging the skin to produce more collagen.<br /><br /><b>Who Might Benefit:</b> If you want to plump your lips or smooth your nasolabial folds, consider Juvéderm. Radiesse and Voluma XC are a bit thicker (and sometimes last longer) and are ideal for restoring volume around the cheekbones and along the jawline. Belotero was FDA approved in 2011 and is favored for filling the hollows under the eyes: It won't create the bluish tinge that other hyaluronic acid fillers can leave when injected beneath thin skin.<br /><br /><b>You Should Know: </b>Juvéderm, Radiesse, Belotero and Voluma can include lidocaine to ease the pain of injection, but it still stings. You may bruise and can expect some swelling for about 24 hours after an injection. </span><br />

Fractional Nonablative Laser (Pixel Laser Treatment)</h3>
<span class="arial12" style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Star Power:</b> With pixilated beams of light, this laser can boost collagen, smooth wrinkles, and in some cases break up pigment beneath the skin—without the weeks of redness, swelling, and peeling that accompanied its predecessors. Only a fraction of the skin is targeted with each treatment; after about five, you have "resurfaced" your face, giving you a profound improvement in skin texture, and even some tightening.<br /><br /><b>Who Might Benefit:</b> Are fine lines and roughness your issue? The Pixel minimize lines and leave skin luminous. If discoloration is your problem, consider the Photofacial. It uses two wavelengths of light: One remodels collagen for smoothing; the other erases age spots.<br /><br /><b>You Should Know:</b> Fractionated lasers leave your skin red and peeling for several days. Even with topical lidocaine, you'll experience heat and stinging during each treatment. </span><br />

<h3>
Chemical Peel</h3>
<span class="arial12" style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Star Power:</b> A chemical peel, in which an acid solution is painted on the skin to lift away the upper layers, minimizes discoloration, smooths lines and crepiness, and even—when done deeply enough—helps tighten the skin.<br /><br /><b>Who Might Benefit:</b> If you want a glow for a few days, a glycolic peel is your best bet. To reduce breakouts, try a series of salicylic acid peels, such as the Jessner Peel. A Vitalize peel or Jessner Peel can improve pigment. To improve the skin on your chest, back, or hands, a chemical peel is a great option.<br /><br /><b>You Should Know:</b> Some peels, like the Jessner Peel, yield dramatic results in one treatment—but leave skin red and peeling for up to ten days. Light glycolic peels require little downtime but have a less transformative effect. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14728451263900450809noreply@blogger.com0San Jose, CA, USA37.3382082 -121.8863286000000136.933999199999995 -122.53177560000002 37.7424172 -121.24088160000001
