Fashion / *warts* by myopera1(f): 4:24am On Nov 15, 2012
Warts are actually benign
tumors of the epidermis caused by a virus. The virus
responsible is the human
papillomavirus (HPV), a double-
stranded DNA virus. The virus
resides in the bottom layer of
the epidermis and replicates into almost normal-looking
skin. Different sub-types of HPV
cause different types of warts.
Some human papillomavirus
subtypes also cause cervical
cancer and other more obscure types of wart-related cancers
The Wart Root Myth
Contrary to popular belief,
warts do not have "roots". They
only grow in the top layer of
skin, the epidermis. When they
grow down, they displace the
second layer of skin, the dermis. They do not grow into
the dermis. The underside of a
wart is actually smooth. The Appearance of Warts.
Warts normally grow out of the
skin in cylindrical columns.
These columns do not fuse
when the wart grows on thin
skin such as the face. On
thicker skin, the columns fuse and are packed tightly
together giving the surface the
typical mosaic pattern. Black
dots can sometimes be seen in
a wart. These are actually
blood vessels that have grown rapidly and irregularly into the
wart and have thombosed or
clotted off.
Who Gets Warts?
Warts can occur in people of all
ages, but occur most
commonly in children and
young adults. They spread by
direct contact, simply by
touching the wart. Warts normally resolve spontaneously
but the time it takes for this
resolution is variable. Most
warts resolve within weeks or
months, but some may take
years. It appears that a person's susceptibility to warts
and the time it takes for them
to go away is related to the
individual's immune system.
People who have immune-
related diseases such as AIDS and lymphoma, or who are
taking chemotherapy tend to
have more warts that last
longer.

Wart Treatments
Most warts can be treated with
simple over-the-counter
remedies. For those that are
resistant to these measures,
other types of treatments are
effective. Salicylic acid is a very common
and effective over-the-counter
treatment, but requires
consistent application every
day. They best way to use
salicylic acid is to first pare the wart with a blade, pumice
stone, emory board, or small
scrub brush. Soaking the wart
in warm water will aid in the
absorption of the medicine.
Salicylic acid is applied to the wart and allowed to dry.
Normal surrounding skin may
be protected with petroleum
jelly. Occluding the treated
wart with a band-aid or piece
of tape also improves the absorption of the medicine.
This procedure should be
repeated daily ideally around
shower or bath time. Salicylic
acid can be found in several
forms including a thick oil, or incorporated into an adhesive
plaster form. Cryotherapy is another
effective treatment of warts. A
provider applies liquid
nitrogen as a spray or on a
cotton swab to the wart. This
freezes and kills the effected cells. The connective tissue is
not destroyed; therefore, the
lesion usually heals without
significant scarring. The
human papillomavirus is not
killed by cryotherapy and is released into the surrounding
tissue allowing the immune
system to kill it. A blister
typically forms on the site
treated, crusts over, and falls
off. Since blisters are painful to walk on, cryotherapy is not a
first choice for warts on the
bottom of the foot. Other medicines may be
applied t o warts or injected
into them include lactic acid,
trichloroacetic acid (TCA),
formalin, glutaraldehyde,
cantharidin, podophyllin, Retin-A, and bleomycin. These treatments should be
supervised by a health care
provider.n

If you'r opting for LA,go for 40%.start with the toughest part of ur body..facial is not allowed for LA to avoid burns.
kandiikane:

I didn't mix it with anything. I think it's because I have an oily skin. Probably should have opted for lactic.

Fashion / Exfoliating/peeling by myopera1(f): 2:00pm On Aug 29, 2012
So many people are ignorant of the topic above.Sm see it has necessary but will never do it,others just ignore.maybe we should all start today and see your skintone taking a new look.

Our skin sheds 30000 to 40000 dead cells per min,but sometimes,this natural shedding isn't enough.If you don't remove dead cells,dirts,and debris,they can become trapped in your pores,causing acnes,patches and skin dullness.
Exfoliation is the removal of old dead skin cells that clings to the skin's uttermost surface.exfoliation increases circulation of blood to the skin surface,and helps stop follicle problems,sloughs off dead cells,evens out skin tone,clears skin pores-clogging dirt and oil. When done correctly,reveals younger skin underneath,leaving the skin smoother,softer and fresh looking,making penetration easier for products like serum and lotions that nourished the body.

2 types of exfoliation;
Physical and Chemical Exfoliation

physical exfoliation:In this process,the dead cells are physically rubbed off with an abrasive-example includes a salt glow,a body scrub that might use sugar or oatmeal ground or even skinbrushing.

Direction*
dampen the skin(preferably with your choice of shower bath).
Apply your cleanser or scrub and use your fingers or gloves to rub gently in circular motion(this will cause the soap to later and work the particles in the scrub deeper into the skin.
When done,allow for 5min,and rinse your skin thoroughly,then apply your toning milk,moisture or lotion.

2.Chemical exfoliation:enzymes,alphahydroxy acids(AHAs) or betahydroxy acids (BHAs) ,loosen the glue-like substances clogged to the skin.they can either be very gentle or very harsh,depending on how strong the product is

direction*
this process involve PEELING.dead skin cells are removed through peeling.this is the best type of exfoliation.
Glycolic acid-Used to refine aged skin and for brightening dark spot.
Lactic Acid- for sensitive skin
Salicyclic Acid-for acne prone skin.

Now the sensitivity of your skin will determine which to be bought.Once you start peeling,
Make sure you always use ur sunscreen.
Don't fret cos its a must u *Peel*.
Sm tolerate it more,others not so much.
Make sure you start off slowly at first,then build your way up to higher concs.
Don't *PICK* your sheds
For some skin,shedding might take up to 2weeks...
In this case you don't scrub
depending on which.
AFter Peeling,make sure you Use a good toning cream/lotion and wear a good sunscreen.
NOTE;
For Physical exfoliation,Do Not scrub on daily basis unless u have an extremely oily skin. must be done Once/twice in a week.
Chemical exfoliation to be done Once/twice in 2months depending on skin type.

Fashion / Sunburn!!!* by myopera1(f): 11:33am On Jun 22, 2012
Sunburn is an inflammation of the Skin,caused by over-exposure to d UV radiation from the Sun;and also cream high in clobetasol propionate%.
Sunburn varies from mild to severe;depending on individual's level of negligence,the skin type or amount of exposure to the Sun.
There's no fast-fix sunburn treatment;once you have sunburn,the damage is done.Persons with certain pigment disorders and individual with fair skin are @most risk of sunburn.
Once you notice a cream/oil/serum or any ointment gives you sunburn,discontinue usage.
Keep it cool,apply aloe vera or moisturizing cream.
Avoid products/cleanser containing alcohol,which can further dry the skin.
If need be,soak tea bags in a lukewarm water,remove,and place on d affected area.
Microdermabrate affected area and apply sheabutter @ night
remember to use sunscreen with spf 45 or more.......
Continue routine and wait patiently till your burns fades off.

Fashion / *microdermabration* by myopera1(f): 6:07pm On May 26, 2012
Ever wondered why that body cream is not effective on your skin?? Its simply because you don't or have never microdermabrated.
Microderbrasion is one of the easiest and most effective means of exfoliating.It removes the uppermost layer of dead skin cells from the face,bodyand hands.
Microdermabrate helps soften fine lines and wrinkles,soften coarsely textured skin,decreases the appearance of starring and reduces superficial hyperpigmentation also known as age spots.
Microdermabration also makes it easier for high-tech skin care products to penetrates
into deep layers of the skin and help build collage,which gives the skin its youthful appearance.

Get an home made herbal scrub,apply all over the body and allow for 5-10mins.wash before using your usual shower gel and watch your skin glow!
