Summer is a time to enjoy the sun and outdoor activities, but it is also a season when the risk of skin cancer increases. The ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight can damage the skin, and prolonged exposure to intense sunlight may increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Therefore, proper sun protection during summer is crucial for maintaining healthy skin.
How to manage your Red Noses
You have probably heard of Red Nose Day, it is a fund-raising event organised by a British charity called Comic Relief. However, having a red nose on oneself though is not always fun. In fact, it can be extremely embarrassing – most of us would not want to look like a clown (unless you really are one, and are performing!); nor want to give others the impression of having a cold. A red nose is sometimes associated with being a wino; even a heavy drinker won’t always want others to know about his habit.
Having a red nose, or a nose that turns red easily, is actually not as rare as you may think. It can affect up to one in 20 adults, and is particularly prevalent in those with fair skin. It can affect males and females, and can range from just a touch of redness to a socially disturbing, extensive coverage. This condition can be associated with an underlying medical condition such as rosacea, particularly if there are significant signs and symptoms like a flushing sensation, sensitivity, dryness or pimples.
There are definitely genetic predispositions that trigger a red nose for some people; everyone gets their genetic makeup from their parents, and there is not much one can do about it. What you can do though, is alter your lifestyle to prevent further reddening.
How to Manage Your Red Nose?
．Avoid extended exposure to harsh environmental conditions like cold, strong winds and sunlight
．Avoid sauna, steaming, using hot water for washing
．Avoid excessive consumption of alcohol or hot spicy foods
．Use mild face wash to wash your face with a gentle massage motion, rinse with lukewarm water and dab-dry your skin instead of rubbing
．Use sunscreen before you go out and apply a gentle moisturizer to your face, particularly when the weather is cold and dry
If your red nose bothers you despite these simple measures, talk to your dermatologist. There are creams and vascular laser that can help you to tackle them.
“No-carb” is a popular topic among beauty enthusiasts who seek to prevent skin ageing. Many people believe that the no-carb diet touted by celebrities and social media influencers is the key to slowing down the production of AGEs and thereby ageing.
Although Easter has just ended, whitening is a lifetime thing!
Eczema is one of the most common dermatological issues in our daily lives. Its common symptoms include redness, swelling, dryness, peeling, papules, small blisters and persistent itching. Eczema is usually a long-term and chronic skin disease, although it is not contagious, there is a certain probability of recurrence. Therefore, when our skin is dry, sensitive, exposed to hot water or frequent hand washing, the skin is usually in a state of dryness and moisture, which increases the probability of eczema occurrence or recurrence.
