Rosy Skin News

For the last 30 years or so, doctors (dermatologists in particular), health officials, beauty experts and many product companies have been demonizing the sun. They’ve told us to avoid it because without sunscreen, exposure to the sun’s rays will damage skin and cause cancer.  But this oversimplification distorts the facts. In the past few years, numerous studies have shown that optimizing your vitamin D levels may actually help prevent as many as 16 different types of cancer including pancreatic, lung, breast, ovarian, prostate and colon cancers.

Many people who have managed to lose a lot of weight never considered the effect a massive amount of weight loss can have on your skin.  Naturally your skin after weight loss is going to be bigger than your body because it holds its previous shape. Skin can collect around your arms, legs and stomach as well as on your face, which for some people is the worst.

Don’t worry though this can be rectified with the correct skin care.

Acne is a big problem for many teenage girls and can blight confidence.  What alternatives are there to over the counter preparations that can make things worse by over-drying the skin?  From personal experience we can recommend Aloe Liquid Soap as avoiding excessive drying while still dealing with the oiliness and blocked pores behind the zits. Aloe Vera Gelly is also good for reducing inflammation and the amount of redness.

If anyone is looking for cosmetics for darker skins we can recommend the Sonya range stocked by our sister site aloehealthuk.com

Your skin is the largest organ in your body and for an adult is typically 1.5 to 2 square metres.  It is tough and flexible, but it is more than just a protective covering.  It helps to regulate temperature, senses our environment, and manufactures Vitamin D an essential vitamin for bone health.  Just 1 square centimetre of skin contains 200 nerve endings and 1.5m of blood vessels.  The skin continually renews itself by shedding cells taking around a month to completely renew.  A wonderful and essential part of our body.

So why do we abuse it so much?  We expose it to strong sun and harsh chemicals.  That excessive sun can cause skin cancer should be a no brainer in the same way as smoking causing lung cancer.  Yet a bronzed body remains as a symbol of health and vitality.  The bronzing as any dermatologist will tell you is the skin responding to protect itself from damage, but indicates also that damage has already occurred.  Nine out of ten cases of skin cancer are caused by sun exposure and the frequency of skin cancer is increasing as we live longer, and have more free time to spend in the sun.

Most damage from UV radiation is likely to occur before the age of 20 according to the Macmillan cancer charity, but skin cancer may not appear until we are 40, 50, 60 or more years of age.  This undoubtedly leads to a complacent attitude among the young.  This group are the most likely to also use sunbeds encouraged by the growth in "walk in" artificial tanning establishments, and bronzed celebrities in the media.

Many also fail to apply sunscreen properly, or use too low an SPF Factor.  For children especially who are more exposed to the sun in play or on holiday using a high SPF is essential.

Even if skin cancer is avoided prolonged exposure to UV rays will result in the skin prematurely aging and becoming leathery and wrinkled later in life.  For those desiring to keep their looks as they get older and who can't afford cosmetic surgery this should be one good reason to stay out of the sun.

We have added Skin MD Natural SPF15 to our product range.  Now you can enjoy the benefits of a shielding lotion with a Sunscreen!

Skin MD Natural™ + SPF15 is a unique product that does just that by combining the most beneficial features of sunscreens and shielding lotions.

This product helps prevent loss of natural oils and moisture, it doesn't allow irritating substances to penetrate the skin and it absorbs the part of the UV spectrum that contributes to premature skin ageing and development of skin cancer.

We take our skin for granted, yet it is the largest organ in our body and forms an essential barrier against the hazards of daily life.  Gloves in a Bottle bonds with the skin to form an invisible shield.

Standard moisturisers in common daily use simply replenish the moisture lost by the skin but in doing so they can stop the skin from producing its own natural oils so when you stop moisturising the skin looks dry.

Gloves in a bottle is different, it works with your skin to protect it, but allows the skin to continue to produce its own natural protection.  Gloves in a Bottle protects the skin from irritants but also prevents loss of natural moisture and oils.

Gloves in a Bottle is truly just that - gloves in a bottle.

Gloves in a Bottle

Skin MD is a breakthrough product that works with your skin to protect it - many lotions actually dry the skin and breakdown its natural protective oils.

Doctors have reviewed the product and confirmed it's effectiveness in managing psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis (details).

According to Dr Peter Helton - "The outer layer of skin was designed by nature to keep irritants and dangerous toxins from penetrating into the deeper layers of skin. This product works differently. Application will help the skin do its job better by providing a moisturizing sealant that allows your body to properly regulate the moisture environment of the skin. This product adds space age skin softening humectants, with a skin protectant that is like an invisible shield. The secret is that it does not allow the body's moisture to leave and it does not allow chemicals to enter".
