Remember the skin reflects your general health and social behavior. Situations which effect your health can have an important effect on your skin, for example cigarette smoking causes aging and wrinkling of the skin with time.
If your skin changes suddenly and with no apparent reason it may be a sign of ill health, e.g. the sudden onset of dry skin with coarse hair and weight gain may mean your thyroid gland is underactive
Keeping the skin clean is important to prevent infections and odors but excess washing can particularly in people with a tendency to dry skin already, cause loss of oil in the outer layers of the skin and provoke dermatitis. Similarly, chemicals such as petrol, detergent soaps and detergents can cause dry and damaged skin leading to hand dermatitis. This is a large cause of illness related to occupation; people particularly at risk are those who have their hands in and out of water a lot, such as hairdressers, nurses, mechanics etc. The young and the elderly have more sensitive skin because their barrier is less well formed. People who have had eczema, asthma or hay fever as children are more prone to these problems in adult life.
The major cause of aging of our skin is ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet causes pigmentation changes e.g. liver spots or sunspots, broken blood vessels, thinning of the dermis and wrinkling of the skin. In order to prevent this, protection of the skin against ultraviolet light is required. Certain skin types are more susceptible to these effects. Most at risk are those with fair skin that burns easily. Call our office today and make a appointment in Manhattan with Board Certified Dermatologist Dr. Gary Rothfeld to discuss your concerns
Exercise improves blood circulation and improves the tone of the skin, resulting in a healthy glow. It also improves the skin's elasticity, strength and firmness. Exercise is another great way to keep your skin strong and healthy. Exercise encourages capillary performance, which can decrease early aging. It also increases oxygen to the tissues, which helps your skin appear young. With age, extra weight can accumulate in areas under the chin, the neck or cheeks, giving the skin an older look. A combination of healthy nutrition, exercise, and proper use of skin care products can greatly improve the appearance of the skin. Drinking enough water is also important to keep you sufficiently hydrated as your skin is primarily made up of water. At Manhattan Dermatology by Board Certified Dermatologist Dr.Gary Rothfeld can give you some beauty tips during your consultation in his NYC office in Manhattan.
