Teresa Paquin Anika Skincare Tips for Acne – Lifestyle Things that affect acne clear Lifestyle Choices Affecting AcneIf you are someone who struggles with acne and are looking for other ways to help clear your skin, take a look at the following lifestyle choices that affect acne and see if you can make any changes in your own life. LaundryAvoid using fabric softener in the washer and /or the dryer ( no dryer sheets). The waxy residue gets on the pillowcases, towels, wash clothes and sheets that have direct contact with skin. This residue can clog the pores of acne-prone individuals. If you want something to stop static cling in your dryer, you can get anti- static balls at Bed Bath and Beyond, Target or on-line.Avoid using detergents with fragrance because they can cause skin irritation. It is best to use fragrance free detergent such as Cheer Free, All Free and Clear , Tide Free & Hammer Free.Water Softeners There is some evidence that water softeners can lead to acne, especially those containing high amounts of potassium chloride. It is best to avoid water softeners.SwimmersSwimming pool disinfectants contain iodides and chlorine which can remain in the water, causing skin problems for frequent swimmers. We advise that you apply a thin layer of Vaseline before you get in the pool.Sun Exposure & AcneAlthough sun exposure causes desirable scaling and drying, it also damages the follicle, exacerbates dark spots, and can cause skin cancer as well as premature aging. We strongly advise that you wear sunscreen whenever you are outside, even if it is overcast and/or raining.Hand LotionsBeware of hand lotions. If you are using a comedogenic hand lotion and leaning your hand on your face ( many do this in front of the computer) or sleeping on your hands, this could contribute to your acne.Breakouts around the mouth area?Many lip balms, toothpastes, and even facial tissues have comedogenic ingredients in them. So, if you see breakouts around your mouth area, this is possible why. We recommend Vaseline or Aquaphor for a lip balm and toothpaste without SLS ( sodium lauryl sulfate). Many well – known tissue brands are infused with things like coconut oil, isopropyl myristate, and SLS, all of which clog the pores.No Picking or Squeezing!Instead of the usual desire to pick or squeeze, try rubbing ice on pustules and pimples for a couple of minutes, twice a day. IMPORTANT: if you pick, squeeze, and break the skin, the scab will leave a red mark or dark mark that will be there for months, making your skin look WAY worse than if you had left it alone.Birth Control and Hormone ReplacementAvoid low estrogen birth control pills. 'Lo' dose pills are higher in androgen hormones that can make acne-prone skin worse. Norplant, Provera, Depo-Provera shots, most IUDs like Mirena, Skyla and Littetta can be a problem. Also, the Nuvo Ring can cause breakouts as well. Progesterone hormone replacement Premarin can be problematic. If you have polycystic ovaries, they will cause hormonal changes and breakouts.Recreational and Prescription Drugs that affect acneMarijuana, cocaine speed and steroids used by bodybuildersPrescription drugs– topical and oral steroids, anticonvulsants, Lithium, thyroid meds, Quinine , Isoniazid, Immuran, Danazol, Gonadotrophin, Cyclosporin, Disulfiram, Phentermine, ADD/ADHD drugs.Chemicals that affect acneCoal tars ( roofers) , grease ( mechanics, cooks, waiters) , chlorinated industrial chemicals, dioxin.Making these changes to your lifestyle isn't going to magically make your acne disappear. However, being aware of these lifestyle choices that can negatively affect acne can help you identify what you are doing in your own life and how that might be affecting your skin. The first step is awareness and from there, you can make any necessary changes that are right for you!

Chantal McCulligh Your Ultimate Skincare Guide to Saving Your Skin From This Summer It’s no secret that the sun is damaging to your health. You’ve heard it time and time again but unfortunately, most people only realize the effects of sun damage once it’s too late. Perhaps their skin suddenly starts showing discoloration or like Lisa Pace, perhaps it’s after having 86 skin cancers removed as a result of her tanning bed usage. But here’s the thing, these aren’t rare cases that you only hear about in the media. Everyone experiences skin damage from the sun if they have not taken proper action to protect themselves from it, with some damage is far worse than others. Although, the worst-case scenarios still aren’t as rare as you may think. And with summer right around the corner, there is no better time to start taking better care of your skin which starts with – you guessed it, properly protecting your skin from the harmful UV rays. Is The Sun Really That Bad for your Skin?Everyone has heard of the horror stories associated with UV damage to the skin but yet, many people still choose to turn a blind eye to them with the assumption that, “it won’t happen to me”. Unfortunately, the reality is that it can very well happen to you or to anyone who doesn’t properly protect their skin on a regular basis. In fact, studies have shown that more people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the United States than all other cancers combined and one in five Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. So yes, the sun really is that bad for your skin. Even if you are one of the lucky few that will not develop skin cancer, you are not exempt from other types of sun damage, which I will explain further in just a moment. How Does The Sun Harm Your Skin?The sun is damaging to your skin in many ways. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be shining in order for it to penetrate through the thick clouds and right into your skin cells. And that, alone, says a lot about just how powerful it is. Now, imagine what it has been doing to your skin and what it continues to do to your skin as you bask in the sun or frolic on the sandy shores without proper protection. It’s terrifying.But how does it damage your skin, you ask?The sun emits incredibly strong UVA and UVB rays that essentially burn your skin cells or in technical terms, damages the fibers in the skin which leads to various types of signs and symptoms, such as wrinkles, sagging or stretching skin, or the many other different types of skin damage which leads me into the next topic… What Are The Different Types of Sun Damage to the Skin?Sun exposure can cause a vast array of changes to the skin, many of which people mistaken as a normal part of aging. But don’t be mistaken, no sun damage to the skin is considered “natural”. To help you determine whether you are donning the signs of sun damage, here are the various signs to look for:Fine and coarse wrinklesFrecklesScaly, rough patches of skinRaised bumps that look like wartsDiscolored areas of the skinA yellow discoloration of the skinConstantly dry or split lipsAge spots (extra-large freckles)Benign tumorsAtypical molesSun burnsRosacea (damaged blood vessels under your skin)Lines, wrinkles or saging skin (destruction of elastic and collagen tissue) … And just because you may not have some or any of these signs of sun damage today does not mean that you are safe. Sun damage is rarely apparent when you’re young and almost always shows up later in life when the damage has built up. Think of it like this – your skin is the skin on a fruit; you might experience discoloration and minor damage from time to time but eventually, the damage continues to grow and worsen, and the fruit becomes rotten, unless you cut out the damaged parts and take proper action to keep the fruit from exterior harm, such as storing it in a proper temperature, moisture and environment. How to Repair Sun Damaged Skin?It isn’t all-downhill from here, though. The first step to protecting your skin from further damage is to educate yourself on the topic and you’re here doing that right now. Good for you.The next step is to learn the various ways you can prevent further sun damage to your skin and help repair the damage that has been done. As a Licensed New Hamshire Aesthetician and Makeup Artist, here are the professional recommendations I give to clients who are looking to prevent and repair their skin from sun damage: Improve discoloration by using skincare that have ingredients that help reduce inflammation and contain powerful anti oxidants to help reduce the damaging effects of the sun. A few of my favorites at Anika Skincare and Makeup are the following:Ferulic Acid Vitamin C & E Serum ( excellent for event the most sensitive skin)Ultimate Ferulic C & E Serum is a high potency multi-C cocktail that drenches skin in an infusion of powerful anti-oxidants. Stable Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and superior ORAC scoring Kakadu Plum, Astaxanthin, Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E offer advanced protection from photo-aging and dermal instability caused by free radical aggression.

A proprietary blend of dynamic cosmetic ingredients that address fine lines, expression muscle contraction and sluggish skin, which occur as a result of chronological aging.

The top picks from the Essential Dermaceutical advanced skincare brand our:The Ultra Calm Cleanser, Ultra Calm Toner, Ultra Calm Serum and Ultra Calm Creme for any skin type that is sensitve or has Rosacea, or even post operative skin. Very soothing natural safe ingredients. Incorporating other products like Retinol A and Skin Resurfacing creme or Lactic Creme to help stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin and also evening out the skin tone, reducing pigmenation and reducing acne break outs as well. How to Protect Your Skin from the SunTreating your current sun damage is a great place to start but it won’t mean anything if you don’t take the proper steps towards prevent future sun damage. Below is a list of ways to protect your skin from the sun. Be Weary of Dangerous Chemicals in SPF Sun ScreensIn a perfect world, all sun screen products would be created to provide the wearer with optimal health and protection. Unfortunately, many of them are full of harmful chemicals that include, but are not limited to things such as oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, octinoxate and homosalate. What may shock you is that it isn’t just “low end” cheap sunscreen products that have these types of chemicals in them. In fact, if you were to go grab a sunscreen bottle in your house right now, chances are you’ll find at least one of these chemicals in the ingredient list. So, although these sunscreens may provide you with protection from sun, they are causing you harm in many other ways that can cause similar, if not worse damage.Now, mineral sunscreens are often the better option with many of these including ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. I suggest using Suntegrity which has 100% natural, non nano zinc oxide, organic, safe ingredients sun lotions. You get the sun protection you’re looking for without subjecting your health to other problems. Use a Natural, Organic Sun ScreenWith the prior mentioned, it’s imperative to not only wear sunscreen but to wear an natural sunscreen to ensure you aren’t lathering your skin with harmful chemicals. Suntegrity offers a premium line of natural sunscreen products, from non-toxic SPF moisturizer to natural organic moisturizing face sunscreen, natural SPF lipsticks and more.Mineral Sun Stick – SPF 30Not only is this mineral sports sun screen safe for you, but it is also reef safe. It's a water resistant natural sun screen that provides UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum protection from the sun's harmful rays. It's formulated with non-nano zinc oxide in a solid stick form, leaving no greasy film or feeling. The organic coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa seed butter added into the mix leave the skin hydrated and moisturized and with an organic sweet orange essential oil scent that uplifts the senses. You can use this natural sun screen for quick touch-ups on your hands, face, chest and shoulders. Here are some key features:UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum ProtectionWater Resistant for 80 minutesNSF Certified OrganicVegetarian & Cruelty FreeUplifting Natural Orange ScentEasy to Apply, On-The-Go CoverageReef FriendlyNatural Mineral Sunscreen – SPF 30Suntegrity's Natural Mineral Sunscreen for Body was awarded the #1 Rating in the Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database and made EWG's 2017 'Best Beach & Sport Sunscreens' list. Some key features include:UV Chemical-Free SunscreenBroad Spectrum ProtectionParaben, Phthalate and Mineral Oil FreeCruelty Free and VeganNon Greasy for Smooth ApplicationContains Organic Ingredients like Green Tea Extract, Cucumber Extract, and Pomegranate Seed Oil for added protection. Makeup Tips for Sun DamageThe best makeup tips for preventing sun damage are the ones that don’t add an extra step into your morning regime. After all, you’re already busy rushing around trying to start your day and having yet another product to purchase and to put on simply isn’t plausible for many of us. Instead, swap out your regular makeup products for SPF makeup products – lipsticks, mineral powders, eye shadows, facial primers, moisturizers and coverup that has SPF added into the formula.Suntegrity also offers an incredible line of natural, organic SPF makeup with some of my favorites being: 5-in-1 Natural Moisturizing Sunscreen – Tinted SPF 30This incredible SPF face moisturizer made EWG's 2017 'Best Moisturizers with SPF' list and also received a #1 Rating in the Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database.
