The Largest Organ in Your Body- Your Skin!

Your skin is more then just your face, although that’s what most people pay the most attention to. Your skin is actually the largest organ in your body and weighs probably more the you think. The skin of an average adult weighs 8-10 pounds and averages an area of 22 square feet.
What’s the secret to great skin? Not surprisingly, the state of our skin is affected by genes, nutrition, general health, emotional well-being and exercise. How you care for your skin play an important role in ensuring you look your best,
You’ve probably heard that skin is made up of skin cells. But you didn’t know that you have approximately 19 million skin cells on every square inch of skin!
Eat your veggies! Eating a wide range of vegetables– particularly those high in vitamins C and E (such as spinach, carrots, red bell peppers and tomatoes)- will ensure that your diet is rich in anti-oxidants, compounds that are believed to play an important roles in maintaining the health of both your body and your skin.
We’re all thin-skinned, in certain areas. The thickness of our skin varies considerably, depending on its location and the role it plays: Its thinnest on our eyelids and thickest on the palms of our hand and soles of feet.
Not sure of your skin type? Try this simple test. About 15 minutes after washing your face and patting it dry, press lens-cleaning paper on different part of you face. In those areas where you produce a lot of oil, the paper will stick or pick up oil. If it doesn’t anywhere, you have dry skin. If it only sticks on your forehead, nose and chin, you have normal or combination skin. If it sticks everywhere, you have oily skin.

Melasma Facts in Philadelphia

Is your skin discolored from the sun? It may be Melasma
Melasma (also known as Chloasma, or “mask of pregnancy” ) is a common increase of pigmentation that occurs exclusively in sun-exposed areas, in particular on the face. It usually causes three different patterns of symmetrical pigmentation on the face, affecting most commonly the central face (cheeks, forehead, upper lip, nose and chin); or less commonly the cheeks and nose, or the cheeks and jawline.
Melasma usually improves– sometimes to great extent– in response to faithful use of medical grade sun screen, hyrdroquinone which is a bleaching cream used every night, Fraxel laser resurfacing or chemical peels. Sun protection needs to be continued long term in order to reduce the risk of relapse of melasma.
Some facts about Melasma:
· It is much more common in women between the ages of 20-40, especially pregnant women
· Melasma is less common in older women, and is seldom seen in women taking estrogen replacement therapy
· Melasma occurs as a result of excess melanin production in skin cells. The reason is unclear, but scientists say there are several factors including sun damage and estrogen levels.
· Sometime is mistaken for freckles or age spots, which are essentially the same thing, however, melasma spots can be larger and much darker and can take on random shapes.
· Heat can trigger melasma
