Our Skin has its own protective mechanism
against sunlight. When it is exposed to the rays of the sun, the pigment in the
skin increases in order to protect the inner layer of the skin.

The skin tends to tan due to repeated exposure to the
sun especially for long durations. In fair skins, there is an accumulation of
pigment in the lower layers, which gets gradually destroyed, as it is
transferred to the upper layers. Due to continued exposure, the fair skin
acquires freckles, which are accumulation of pigments in areas that have
little or no pigment.

The over activity of the sebaceous glands usually
results in skin with enlarged pores. Excessive oil secretion by the glands
causes the pores to get clogged. The pores are thus stretched to accommodate
the hardened sebum and lose their natural resilience. This excessive secretion of
oil, might thicken the pores and mar the porcelain quality of skin, leaving the
skin coarse.

STRETCH MARKS
Known medically as Striae, are the visible evidence
that the skin’s building blocks (collagen and elastin) could not keep up with
its need for growth.
that the skin’s building blocks (collagen and elastin) could not keep up with
its need for growth.
Stretch marks are formed when the skin stretches at a
rate that cannot be sustained by its elasticity. They may appear after rapid weight
gain ,spurts of growth and pregnancy. The development of breasts in
adolescent girls and bulking up of muscles in weight lifters can also cause
stretch marks. Infact, anything that increases the body’s cortisone
levels, as in case of puberty, obesity or weight gain, the infection of
cortisone medications or even the application of potent cortisone creams will
increase the chances of developing stretch marks.

success of the treatment and must not be interfered by using moisturizing

very costly.

A big issue that is often overlooked with very oily skin is over-drying. When you over-dry your skin it counteracts that by producing MORE oil. It's an endless circle and many products will do that.
Get away from Artificial products for awhile and use more natural stuff. There is a Acne Treatment Cream called Benzac Ac. I've used it for over a year now and it's great stuff. It's all natural and cleanses really well without stripping skin of vital moisture. common skin problem
