Freckles are not as often an eyesore as some of the other skin markings we have looked at. They are simply macules that have tanned, on the skin. If you have freckles, you will normally have multiple ones. They can become more easily apparent if you spend time in the sun, so in the winter months, they are much less noticeable. Freckles are benign as a rule, but they can sometimes be seen with system disorders.

Over the years, parabens have been the most commonly used artificial preservatives. They have been used to preserve foods and cosmetics of all kinds. When consumed, the ester or alcohol that is a component of the preservatives is metabolized.

If you are like me, then you have had some laser work done, only to be disappointed. Every magazine I open up, every medispa, medical office, and spa that I pass are promoting a laser that will erase away the wrinkles, even out your skin tone, reduce the appearance of pores, and give you the Fountain of Youth.

The cells in the outermost layer of skin are constantly being replaced, although the replacement process slows down with age. In a young healthy person, the entire layer is replaced in about a month.

Are you tuned in to reality? Am I tuned in to reality? No, it isn't a radio station or a television channel. My thesaurus gives many definitions of reality but the definition that pops out at me is truth. If mental health demands reality, then lies must mean an emotional upheaval at some level.

There are many ways for you to lighten age spots and freckles. This includes chemical peel treatment, laser resurfacing, bleaching creams and natural whitening skin cream.

The truth is, if you do a comparison between these treatments, you will find that many of the treatments, except for natural whitening skin cream are bad for you.

For example, if the chemical peel treatment is not carried out properly, you can risk suffering from skin scarring and other skin complications. The costs of laser resurfacing can also be prohibitive.

Every time you go out into the sun unprotected, you are putting your skin at risk - fact! This is because the suns rays are really damaging to the skin, and a tan is the result of burnt skin. Nobody really looks at a tan that way, they just think that a tan looks healthier, however it really is the result of damaged skin, and as nice as it looks, our skin really is not thanking us for it!

The truth is that collagen molecules are very large. When we use a cream that contains these molecules, they just sit on top of the skin and do not get absorbed. Later in the day, they will all be washed away as you wash your face.

Some companies have come up with new ways of delivering collagen into and under the skin. Although they make some very interesting and optimistic claims, there is no research that suggests their claims are true.
