Know your skin - Detailed

Yet another skin care tip! Detailed this time

The first step to protect your skin is to know it better – Normal, dry, oily, combination or sensitive. On understanding your skin type you can treat it properly and keep it healthy over years, safe from the day-to-day polluted lifestyle.

As we all know and mentioned on my earlier blog there are five skin types’ normal, oily, dry, combination and sensitive. However, these classifications are not entirely true today; air, water, food (vegetables and animal flesh) is getting highly polluted day by day. The normal skin technically defined as the balanced skin that works correctly with the right apatite and physical excesses, thus it's so hard to find that we could consider that almost does not exist. This one is thin, soft, smooth and supple, luminous skin in which no areas of dryness, open pores, or other skin changes such as redness, veins, etc. are appreciated. It corresponds to a person whose system circulatory and lymphatic functioning properly and a perfectly balanced metabolism. Something even that fails because of aggressive anger factors which our skin faces daily!

Acneic skin is something commonly found on the adolescents, suffering a bacterial contamination associated especially to hormonal changes of puberty but in recent years that have passed juvenile barrier. This type is altered to multiple factors whether combination, oily or dry or the mature factor, they need a number of assets to cope with the passage of time and the elements, regardless of their levels of water and fat. Keeping that mind the same person can also have different types of skin not only in your body, very fat or very dry areas, but also to show this diversity in a small area like the face.

On knowing the skin is not always the same, it changes over years, seasons, pace of life, mood and so on... 

While physiologically the skin of all humans are equal, it is clear that they aren’t the same; nor can be treated the same way on different stages of life - childhood to teenager to old man, or at pregnancy or a person subject to a low diet in calories. So one must pay attention to the conditions in which the skin is at all times to give what it needs at the right time. It's not as difficult as it seems. In fact, it's what we do every day, for example we know the diet which suits our needs accordingly at the time we are hungry. Skin is also the same. It is the largest organ of a human being and care should be taken by the state to keep it healthy. 

To know more about it, we'll stick to the most common features of the four types of facial skin types: dry, oily, combination, sensitive, so we can identify what we skin.

How to identify

• It is dry if ... it’s tight, dull, rough, brittle, peeling, has wrinkles and pores are tiny.
• Is fat if ... you have an oily sheen and feel, large pores, pimples and / or blackheads especially in the nostrils, slippery or rough texture.

How to control / fight anger?

Anger expressed suitably, is emotional healthy. However, many people manage the anger suppressing it too much or expressing it in a hostile manner.

If a person grows up in a family where it was NOT GOOD feeling angry or used to control other members thereof, any sign of aggression is possible due to distresses.

Once anger is generated, and not expressed in a constructive manner then it is difficult. This is dangerous, can lead to health problems such as headaches, hypertension, problems gastrointestinal, anxiety or depression.

Expressed in a firm but not aggressively, is the healthiest way to handle anger.

Therefore, the goal is to learn to express clearly and directly the concerns and needs without hurting others or trying to instill fear about them. The uncontrollable anger is a behaviour learned that needs to be changed.

The following tips may help:

1.      Stay calm

Although it sounds simplistic, count to ten and leave the room helps to restore peace.

2.      Take a breath

Breathe deeply and rhythmically while you relax your muscles, visualizing a pleasant scene.

3.      Positive attitude

Repeat words that soothe you. Phrases repeated positive notes for your-self such as "Stay calm," "I'm angry, but what! I can control," or "I should not let this bother me."

4.      Aerobic exercises

Walking or biking. Play any sport that allows you to release stored energy. 

5.      Good mood

Use the mood to relieve stress. Think of a story or a fun joke. Imagine yourself or the person you're upset of, in a situation funny.

6.      Express

Talk to a friend, family member or person close, even with your doctor or therapist to let off steam. Say "I am angry" or "I'm so mad I could ..." will allow you to reduce your frustration.

7.      Forgiveness

Recognize that it is unrealistic to expect everyone to behave the way you want it. If you find something offensive, learn to forgive whoever did.

Don’t forget that expressing anger in an explosive manner is one end of the spectrum. The reactions and blame others, will backfire if you want to find a solution to any problem.
