One of the biggest mistakes that people commit during winter months is skipping the use of sun screen lotion. This practice seems to have stemmed from the belief that sun rays are hardly strong enough to cause skin damage around that time of the year. However, even though the intensity of sunlight decreases considerably in the winter months, the same cannot be said about ultraviolet radiation that is the main culprit behind skin damage and sun spots. Hence, it is extremely important to use proper sun protection even during chilly weather.

A good sunscreen with an SPF rating of minimum 15 is a must to sufficiently protect you against UVA and UBB rays. You should apply it on all exposed parts of your body including face, neck, hands and back. Even if it is not sunny outside on a winter day, do not forget to wear light tinted glares to protect the sensitive under eye skin.

Talking about sun care tips for dry skin, the first and foremost thing that comes to mind is a suitable sun screen lotion. Those with dry skin should opt for creamy formulations that have moisturizing properties as well and help combat excessive dryness. Always remember to lather on ample amount of sun block every time you step out in the sun. In addition to that you can take extra precaution by wearing a broad rimmed hat or carrying an umbrella.

It is also advisable to repeat sunscreen application every three hours if your work requires you to spend considerable amount of time outdoors. You can also keep your dry skin moisturized by drinking plenty of water. This will keep both your skin and body hydrated and make it look smooth and supple even after prolonged exposure in the sun. At times people with dry skin can be sensitive to certain formulations and should avoid them completely.

We all wish to get back the youthful glow of our face that we once saw in the mirror during our high school days. By following some back to school skin care tips, getting there should not be much of a problem. To begin with, you should take utmost care to prevent exposing your skin to the harmful ultraviolet radiation. Thus, get a good quality sun block with high SPF and always carry an umbrella or wear a cap or hat when stepping out during day time.

Often, we concentrate solely on our facial skin and ignore other body parts such as feet and hands. It is extremely important to take equally good care of your hands and feet by moisturizing them on a daily basis and going for regular pedicures and manicures. You can also get a DYI manicure or pedicure kit from the market and pamper you feet and hands in the comfort of your home.

As we get older we, small pieces of extra skin appear on various parts of our body including the face. These are known as skin tags and are of the same color as the skin. These look like tiny outgrowths of skin and are quite unattractive. Some of the most common spots that skin tags are likely to emerge at are on the eyelids, under the breasts, in the groin area and the armpits.

However, these can be easily removed by a dermatologist in his office itself. There is no stitching required after the process and it takes a maximum of two weeks for the area to heal completely. Yet another type of benign skin growth that people find quite annoying is Seborrheic Keratoses. These appear in the form of tiny bits of extra skin growth in elderly people and are most likely to develop on those parts of the body that are exposed to the sun.

It is quite common for certain skin conditions to develop in and around the lip area, which often makes it quite challenging to treat them. These can range from something as simple as excessive dryness that manifests in the form of chapped lips to something more complicated as excessive hair growth on the lip skin. The later condition is known as Hirsutism that can be effectively treated by the application of topical eflornithine 13.9% cream. This inhibits hair growth and even stimulates hair loss from the lip area.

Another common lip condition that many people suffer from is scaly lips that is more often than not caused due to an allergic reaction to some cosmetic or a metal lip ring. Bad dental hygiene or constant licking of lips can also cause this condition that can be treated by using topical corticosteroid of low potency. In some cases, use of a good emollient has also provided excellent results.
