Are you this fellow? 😀

Do you make a face like this when you see an ECG strip?

Do ECG strips give you a headache and you’ve given up on ever understanding them? Do you want to grin and answer in confidence when you have an ECG to interprete either in an exam or clinical practice?

Who wants to look good without breaking the bank or setting a foot in the spa? I'm sure I heard you say "me".

One of the DIY treatments to get glowing skin is FACIAL STEAMING. It's so inexpensive, and you can do it at home with just a bowl, hot water and a towel. Why should you steam your face?

1. Cleansing: Steam opens up your pores and helps loosen any buildup of dirt and other impurities that clog the pores or contribute to acne.

2. Steaming boosts facial blood flow to nourish your skin and deliver oxygen. This produces a natural,

Fact! Shea butter can make your skin dark.

The reason is that shea butter has a lot of oils in it, so rubbing it and going out in the sun would definitely make you darker (tan) especially if you live in the tropics or in summer. Some suggestions if you want to try shea butter:

1. Rub little shea butter so that your skin can still breathe especially on the face.

2. Clean your skin of make-up, so as to have a clean skin before using shea butter.

16 things to do for great skin

Are you tired of your skin acting weird? Then it’s time to up your skincare game and finally achieve that healthy skin you’ve always dreamed of. Don’t know where to start? You can start with these tips: 1. Cleanse in the morning and evening; don't sleep with makeup on your face.

2. Moisturize religiously every single day.

3. Nourish your skin at night with products that help your skin heal and rejuvenate.

4. Apply serums daily.

5. Use a face mask at least once a week.

#StretchMarks

Stretch mark- the thick lines we dread to find on our skin. Unlike acne, this is one condition that very few people will escape having; males and females are almost equally affected.

So what causes a stretch mark?

#Dermatology A stretch mark is a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly. During this rapid stretching/shrinking of skin, some components of the skin called collagen and elastin rupture and as the skin heals, it can form a stretch mark

Do you have acne or know someone with acne, these tips can help improve their acne.

Please retweet for awareness.

1. Be gentle with your skin.
Even though your face looks rough or oily, it still needs tender care. Stay away from harsh scrubs that can irritate your skin. Remember irritating your skin can cause inflammation (the red area around the acne), and that inflammation can trigger the cells that produce melanin (melanocytes) to produce pigment (melanin) and leave you with dark spots. So you don't want to irritate your skin.

5 things you should never put on your face

1. Bar soap

Regular" soap, or bar soap, actually strips your skin of essential nutrients. This is because most bar soap utilizes chemicals that are both tough on the skin and unnatural. The result is rough, dry, and itchy [skin]. 2. Body lotion
Doing this once in a while is okay but continued use of body lotion on the face can lead to blocked pores. Blocked pores lead to acne and blemishes.

I got a lot of interest in the post about sunscreen yesterday and I'll consider it's a good sign we are all ready to take sunscreen use seriously.

So before you hop off to cop yourself a bottle of sunscreen, let's delve in and understand what sunscreen is all about. Like I said yesterday, two types of UV light can harm your skin — UVA and UVB. UVA ages your skin (A ages skin) and UVB rays burn your skin (B burns skin). A good broad-spectrum sunscreen protects you from both UVA and UVB.

The Importance of Sunscreen

If you are dealing with hyperpigmentation (dark spots) on any part of your body and you're wondering why your skin care product is not getting rid of the discoloration, please read this and share. The first thing you should know is that that the dark spot you have is a result of melanin. Melanin is what gives us our dark skin color.

As people of color, our melanocytes are more active and produce more melanin compared to white people.

Keloids

What is a keloid?

A keloid is a scar that grows bigger and wider than the original injury.

A keloid scar is often harmless, do not become cancer, but sometimes can cause severe itchiness and pain.

How do keloids form?

After the skin is wounded, the skin tries to repair itself by producing collagen. People with keloids produce excessive collagen which causes the scar to become thick, fleshy, and raised.

It may take many months after a skin injury before the keloid appears

Do have a mole or know someone that has a mole?

Let's discuss what a mole is and the changes to watch out for in a mole.

Moles aka melanocytic nevus are caused when pigment-producing cells in the skin (melanocytes) grow in clusters or clumps to form small, colored spots on the skin.

A mole is usually nothing to worry about unless it changes size, shape, or color. Moreover, anyone can have a mole including babies, children, and teenagers.

But as harmless as a mole could be, you need to watch it because it could change with time.

The right way to wash your face

Procedure:

1. Use a mild gentle cleanser that doesn’t dry out your face. Avoid ingredients like isopropyl alcohol, antibacterial, deodorant soaps, or retinoids unless you have acne. 2. Dampen your face with lukewarm water (not hot!) and use the tips of your fingers to massage the cleaner into your face. Your fingertips apply the perfect amount of pressure; stay away from using anything else to scrub the face that can irritate your skin.

Knowledge is power.
This means the key to skin success/goals is to know and understand what your skin is all about.

Ever wondered why your toenail or fingernail became discoloured, stopped growing, hurt a little or made wearing your shoe more painful than usual?

Well, you are not alone. Many people submissively accept these changes as normal. But just before you do that, I will tell you about Onychomycosis also known as Tinea Unguium
which is a fungal infection of the nail that can present with pain, discomfort, nail disfigurement and limitation of daily activities like standing and walking.
