BENEFITS OF YOUGURT
~1.9 mins read
So, what’s for breakfast? Decisions. Decisions. Hmmm, oatmeal or yogurt? Both will give your body healthy nutritious goodness, but if you want some seriously sumptuous skin, I’d eat the oatmeal and save that creamy yogurt to add to your collection of homemade beauty products for a super moisturizing yogurt face mask (not that oatmeal doesn't have a place in skincare, too!).
Chock full of protein, calcium, vitamin D, and probiotics (the healthy bacteria that aid digestion), there’s no doubt yogurt provides delicious benefits for your insides. But it can also do beauty wonders for your outsides as well, namely for your skin.
Yogurt contains lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, that dissolves dead skin cells. This gentle exfoliation not only helps to create a natural glow and prevent breakouts, but works to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
When topically applied to the skin, a velvety yogurt face mask will help moisturize, fight acne, prevent premature aging, relieve sunburn, and reduce discoloration. It’s an all-around beauty multi-tasker.

CAUSES OF ACNE
~5.0 mins read
Overview
Your skin has tiny holes called pores that can become blocked by oil, bacteria, dead skin cells, and dirt. When this occurs, you may develop a pimple or “zit.†If your skin is repeatedly affected by this condition, you may have acne.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne is the most common skin condition in the U.S. Although acne isn’t a life-threatening condition, it can be painful, particularly when it’s severe. It can also cause emotional distress.
Acne that appears on your face can affect your self-esteem and, over time, may cause permanent physical scarring.
There are many effective treatments for acne that reduce both the number of pimples you get and your chance of scarring.
What are the symptoms of acne?
Acne can be found almost anywhere on your body. It most commonly develops on your face, back, neck, chest, and shoulders.
If you have acne, you’ll typically notice pimples that are white or black. Both blackheads and whiteheads are known as comedones.
Blackheads open at the surface of your skin, giving them a black appearance because of oxygen in the air. Whiteheads are closed just under the surface of your skin, giving them a white appearance.
While whiteheads and blackheads are the most common lesions seen in acne, other types can also occur. Inflammatory lesions are more likely to cause scarring of your skin. These include:
What causes acne?
Acne occurs when the pores of your skin become blocked with oil, dead skin, or bacteria.
Each pore of your skin is the opening to a follicle. The follicle is made up of a hair and a sebaceous (oil) gland.
The oil gland releases sebum (oil), which travels up the hair, out of the pore, and onto your skin. The sebum keeps your skin lubricated and soft.
One or more problems in this lubrication process can cause acne. It can occur when:
These problems contribute to the development of pimples. A pimple appears when bacteria grows in a clogged pore and the oil is unable to escape.
What are the risk factors for developing acne?
Myths about what contributes to acne are quite common. Many people believe that foods such as chocolate or French fries will contribute to acne. While there’s no scientific support for these claims, there are certain risk factors for developing acne. These include:
People are most at risk for developing acne during puberty. During this time, your body undergoes hormonal changes. These changes can trigger oil production, leading to an increased risk of acne. Hormonal acne related to puberty usually subsides, or at least improves when you reach adulthood.
How is acne diagnosed?
If you have symptoms of acne, your doctor can make a diagnosis by examining your skin. Your doctor will identify the types of lesions and their severity to determine the best treatment.
How is acne treated?
At-home care
There are a few self-care activities you can try at home to prevent pimples and clear up your acne. Home remedies for acne include:
Medication
If self-care doesn’t help with your acne, a few over-the-counter acne medications are available. Most of these medications contain ingredients that can help kill bacteria or reduce oil on your skin. These include:
Sometimes, you may continue to experience symptoms. If this happens, you may want to seek medical advice. Your doctor can prescribe medications that may help reduce your symptoms and prevent scarring. These include:
Women with hormonal acne may be treated with birth control pills or spironolactone. These medications regulate hormones that can cause acne through a decrease in oil production.
Isotretinoin (Accutane) is a vitamin-A-based medication used to treat certain cases of severe nodular acne. It can cause serious side effects, and it’s only used when other treatments don’t work.
Your doctor may recommend procedures to treat severe acne and prevent scarring. These procedures work by removing damaged skin and reducing oil production. They include:
What is the outlook for someone with acne?
Treatment for acne is often successful. Most people can expect their acne to begin clearing up within six to eight weeks. However, flare-ups are common and may require additional or long-term treatment. Isotretinoin is the treatment most likely to provide permanent or long-term positive results.
Acne scarring can cause emotional distress. But, prompt treatment can help prevent scarring. Also, your dermatologist will have treatment options designed to treat scarring.

Best Natural Ingredients For Skin
~4.6 mins read
The beauty world is brimming with high-tech devices and cutting-edge ingredients, but when it comes to handling some of the most common skin care problems, newer isn't always better. In some cases, simple natural options might be as effective as scientifically engineered solutions.
"Many of my patients practice 'clean' eating and want to extend that philosophy to their skin care routine," says Papri Sarkar, MD, a dermatologist in Brookline, MA. "Finding effective clean beauty products isn't as simple as finding organic produce at the grocery store, but it's easier than ever before to find something that will fit your needs."
We asked experts to share the ingredients that are the best of both worlds -- naturally based and science-backed.
Coconut Oil
Benefits: Hydration, anti-inflammatory.There's growing science supporting the use of this plant fat as a topical skin soother. Recent research shows that extra virgin coconut oilsuppresses some of the body's natural inflammatory agents while making the skin a better barrier. "Many people love coconut oil products to help fight dry, itchy skin and skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis," says Laurel Naversen Geraghty, MD, a dermatologist in Medford, OR. "Some of my psoriasis patients swear by overnight coconut oil scalp treatments worn under a plastic shower cap." But Geraghty warns against putting coconut oil on blemish-prone areas because it may worsen acne.

Gotu Kola (Also Known as Centella asiatica)
Benefits: Wound healing. This ancient herb often used in Asian cuisine is now a part of modern skin care due to its wound-healing benefits, says Michelle Wong, PhD, a cosmetics chemist and creator of the Lab Muffin Beauty Science blog. Chemicals in the plant boost blood supply to injury sites and strengthen the skin. Researchers have found that when skin injuries in rats are treated with Centella asiatica, the sites showed higher healing. The combination of amino acids, beta carotene, fatty acids, and phytochemicals help speed healing time, making it a helpful way to treat injuries.
Find it in: Wong likes La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Soothing Repairing Balm ($15) and Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Cream ($48).
Green Tea
Benefits: Sun protection, anti-aging. The connection between drinking green tea and improved health has been suggested for years, but it may also help to use the plant on the skin. "Green tea has good results in terms of photoprotection and anti-aging benefits," says Jeanine Downie, a dermatologist in Montclair, NJ. The polyphenols in green tea have antioxidant properties as well as soothing abilities that help treat sun-damaged skin and offer a way to address the signs of sun damage, she says.
Find it in: Downie likes sunscreen containing green tea, such as Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Ultra-Sheer Daily Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($23).
CONTINUE READING BELOW
Oatmeal
Benefits: Anti-inflammatory, eczema relief."Oatmeal contains anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant chemicals called avenanthramides," Wong says. "It also has moisturizing beta glucans and starches. It's the reason why oatmeal baths are so effective for conditions like eczema and rashes." But not all oatmeal is created equal, Geraghty says. "Colloidal oatmeal is powder that's derived from grinding and preparing oats into very tiny, specific sizes," she says. This size and quality of oats is what makes the ingredient so therapeutic and able to blend with water to form the soothing paste when mixed with water.
"I like colloidal oatmeal products because they're gentle and safe, and studies show they don't tend to cause allergies or irritation," Geraghty says. "I've found that if my eczema patients develop gentle skin care habits and regularly slather on a thick moisturizer containing colloidal oatmeal, they don't need topical steroids as much or as often."
Find it in: Wong likes Aveeno colloidal oatmeal products like their Soothing Bath Treatment, ($10).
CONTINUE READING BELOW
Shea Butter
Benefits: Anti-inflammatory, itch relief.Derived from the nut of a shea tree, shea butter is an ingredient in many moisturizers. "It seems to hydrate skin effectively because it's loaded with fatty acids," Geraghty says. These nutrients have a calming and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. She says shea butter might be most useful for treating and soothing eczema. Clinical studies using shea butter as a treatment for eczema in children showed less itching within 4 weeks, and another study with adults showed improvement in 2 weeks. Geraghty points out another plus of the natural moisturizer: Shea butter doesn't seem to cause skin allergiesoften, which makes it right even for the most sensitive skin types.
Find it in: Geraghty likes Dove Cream Oil Shea Butter Body Lotion ($6) and L'Occitane Pure Shea Butter ($38).
Soy
Benefits: Inhibits pigmentation, improves collagen production. Soybeans contain a variety of plant-based chemicals that impact the skin. Among them are antioxidants, fatty acids, and isoflavones. The legume also produces estrogens or phytoestrogens that address skin conditions related to menopause.
CONTINUE READING BELOW
"One of the reasons we believe that a woman's skin turgor and brightness decreases after menopause is because of decreased estrogen," Sarkar says. "Topical estrogens have been shown to help decrease UV-induced pigmentation and can improve collagen synthesis." She says soy won't offer as robust results as retinoids, but it’s another option for patients looking to address these conditions. The isoflavones in soy also offer sun protection that can help address pigmentation to keep skin even, according to research.
Find it in: Sarkar likes Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer ($13).
Tea Tree Oil
Benefits: Anti-microbial, blemish-fighting. The herbal remedy derived from tea tree leaves has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects that help combat a range of germs, fungus, and bacteria, Geraghty says. "The fact that tea tree oil helps combat bacteria-driven acnemeans it may help reduce the inflammatory type of blemishes -- the tender pustules or inflamed pink papules," she says. But the topical treatment doesn't have much effect against deep cystic acne or comedones. Geraghty also warns about the potential for irritation when using tea tree oil on the skin. She suggests monitoring areas for signs of redness and a rash.
Find it in: Geraghty likes Biossance Squalane + Tea Tree Detox Mask ($39).
CONTINUE READING BELOW
A Final Note
As is the case when trying any new treatment, it's a good idea to run something by your dermatologist to make sure you’re using a natural therapy the right way, Geraghty says. "Coconut oil can worsen breakouts, for example, and some treatments are completely unproven -- they wouldn't be worth it."

TIPS FOR HEALTHIER AND FULLER HAIR
~1.6 mins read
1. Pump up the protein
A well-rounded diet is an important factor in hair and scalp health. Hair is primarily made up of protein, so be sure to eat at least 45 grams of protein daily. Good sources include:
Diets with inadequate protein can result in weak, brittle hair and loss of hair color, as well as loss of hair itself.
2. Zinc about it
Zinc deficiency can cause hair to shed. Incorporate nuts like Brazil nuts, walnuts, pecans, cashews, and almonds into your diet to combat shedding.
Eat and drink an abundance of:
A multivitamin or zinc supplements can enhance your diet when necessary.
3. Omega your hair nice
Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids may stimulate your hair follicles and sebaceous glands. While this won’t cause your hair to grow, it may improve scalp health.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in cold-water fish, such as salmon, sardines, and herring. Other good sources include:
4. Know thy hair
There are conflicting opinions about how often to shampoo your hair. It all comes down to personal preference and individual needs, which depend on:
For example, people with oily hair may need to shampoo every day, while people with dry hair may need to shampoo less frequently.
5. Choose the right shampoo
Using the wrong shampoo and styling agent can cause significant hair damage. Look for products that are right for your hair type — oily, normal, or dry — and target any problems you have, such as dandruff.
Try to avoid shampoos with harsh ingredients, such as ammonium lauryl sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate. And remember, cost doesn’t necessarily indicate the quality of a product.
6. Get condition-specific
Conditioning after shampooing is an important step in keeping your hair soft, shiny, and manageable. You can choose a separate conditioner or a shampoo with built-in conditioner.
Comb conditioner through for even distribution. Leave it in your hair for two to three minutes before rinsing out.
Just like hair washing, not everyone needs to condition every time they wash their hair. Experiment to find what works best for you.

REMEDY FOR ECZEMA
~4.2 mins read
Home remedies and natural treatments can soothe the dry, itching skin that comes with eczema.
People can use creams, natural products, and dietary and lifestyle changes to manage or prevent eczema flares, especially in the winter, when symptoms tend to be at their worst.
Natural substances, such as aloe vera gel and coconut oil, can moisturize dry, broken skin. They can also combat inflammationand harmful bacteria to reduce swelling and prevent infection.
Natural remedies cannot cure eczema, but they can help manage the symptoms and prevent flares. This article looks at the best natural remedies for eczema.
1. Aloe vera gel
A person can use aloe vera gel directly from the plant.
Aloe vera gel is derived from the leaves of the aloe plant. People have used aloe vera gel for centuries to treat a wide range of ailments. One common use is to soothe eczema.
A systematic review from 2015 looked at the effects of aloe vera on human health. The researchers reported that the gel has the following types of properties:
The antibacterial and antimicrobial effects can prevent skin infections, which are more likely to occur when a person has dry, cracked skin. Aloe’s wound-healing properties may soothe broken skin and promote healing.
How to use it
People can buy aloe vera gel in health stores or online, or they can purchase an aloe vera plant and use the gel directly from its leaves.
Choose aloe gel products with few ingredients — others can contain preservatives, alcohol, fragrances, and colors, all of which can irritate sensitive skin. Alcohol and other drying ingredients could make eczema worse.
Start with a small amount of gel to check for skin sensitivity. Sometimes aloe vera can cause burning or stinging. Generally, however, it is safe and effective for adults and children.
2. Apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a popular home remedy for many conditions, including skin disorders.
The National Eczema Association (NEA) report that apple cider vinegar may help with the condition. However, they recommend using caution, as the vinegar’s acids can damage soft tissue.
No research has confirmed that apple cider vinegar reduces eczema symptoms, but there are several reasons why it could help:
Balancing the skin’s acidity levels
Vinegar is highly acidic. The skin is naturally acidic, but people with eczema may have less acidic skin than others. This can weaken the skin’s defenses.
Applying diluted apple cider vinegar could help balance the skin’s acidity levels, but vinegar can cause burns if it is not diluted.
In contrast, many soaps, detergents, and cleansers are alkaline. They can disrupt the acidity of the skin, which can leave the skin vulnerable to damage. This may explain why washing with certain soaps can cause eczema flares.
Fighting bacteria
Studies have found that apple cider vinegar may fight bacteria, including Escherichia coliand Staphylococcus aureus. Using apple cider vinegar on the skin could help keep broken skin from becoming infected.
How to use it
Always dilute apple cider vinegar before applying it to the skin. Undiluted vinegar can cause chemical burns or other injuries.
People can use the vinegar in wet wraps or baths, and it is available in most supermarkets and health stores.
To use apple cider vinegar in a wet wrap:
To try an apple cider vinegar bath soak:
3. Bleach in the bath
Although it may sound dangerous, research indicates that bleach in the bath can improve eczema symptoms due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
Bleach can kill the bacteria on the surface of the skin, including S. aureus, which causes staph infections. This may restore the microbiome of the skin’s surface.
Conclusions of a 2015 review indicate that bleach baths could reduce the need for topical corticosteroid or antibiotictreatments. However, other research found no benefits of bleach baths, compared to regular baths.
How to use it
To make a bleach bath for eczema, use regular-strength (6 percent) plain bleach and try the following:
Use lukewarm water to prevent the skin from drying out, and moisturize immediately after drying.
If a person experiences any discomfort, irritation, or redness, they should stop using bleach in the bath. People with asthma or breathing problems should refrain from taking bleach baths, due to the strong fumes.
4. Colloidal oatmeal
Colloidal oatmeal, also known as Avena sativa, is made from oats that have been ground and boiled to extract their skin-healing properties.
A 2015 study reports that colloidal oatmeal lotion had antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, resulting in improved:
According to the results of a randomized controlled trial, a colloidal oatmeal moisturizer worked better than a control.
How to use it
Add powdered colloidal oatmeal to a warm bath and soak.
Choose a colloidal oatmeal product that has oats as the only ingredient and avoid those with fragrances or additives. People can buy pure colloidal oatmeal from health stores or online.
Lotions and creams that contain colloidal oatmeal are also available for purchase online.
Colloidal oatmeal is generally safe for all ages, but people who are allergic to oats should avoid it. Individuals who are allergic to gluten should use caution, as oats are often processed with wheat.

SKIN CARE TIPS FOR OILY SKIN
~2.4 mins read
Oily skin is one of the most common skin concerns. It presents some unique challenges, like a shiny complexion and acne breakouts.
The good news? With the right skin care routine and products, these issues can be less of a problem.
To help take the guesswork out of how to care for an oily complexion, we turned to a couple of skin care experts. We specifically asked them to share their top tips for developing a daily skin care routine for oily skin.
The result: a simple four-step routine you can use in the morning and evening to keep your skin healthy, clear, and shine-free.
Step 1: Cleanse in the a.m. and p.m.
The most important step of any skin care routine is cleansing your skin.
“And if your skin tends to be oily, you can likely tolerate more cleansing,†says Dr. Sandra Lee, aka Dr. Pimple Popper, founder of SLMD Skincare.
“Though most people should be washing their face morning and night, it’s especially important for those with oily skin to give their face a complete cleanse in the morning,†Lee says.
Even though you might feel like your skin is still clean from the night before, Lee says that during the night your skin is busy shedding skin cells and producing oils.
That’s why washing with a good exfoliating cleanser, both in the morning and evening, is recommended.
She likes to use a cleanser or wash with salicylic acid.
“This is going to really help clear away excess oil and dead skin to prevent buildup in the pores,†Lee adds.
Step 2: Use a toner
Once your skin is clean and free from any makeup, dirt, and oil, Lee suggests you follow with an exfoliating toner that contains either:
Step 3: Treat your skin
This step will depend on your specific skin concerns. But in general, if you’re prone to acne, Lee says you should be using benzoyl peroxide or sulfur in the daytime to help curb oil production and prevent breakouts.
In the evening, Lee recommends a retinol product to help keep pores clear and skin glowing.
Some of her favorite treatment products from her skin care line include BP Lotion, Sulfur Lotion, and Retinol Serum.
Other popular over-the-counter retinol products include Roc Retinol Correxion Night Cream, CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum, and Paula’s Choice 1% Retinol Booster.
One quick note for people with oily skin: Lee likes to remind people with oily skin that they’re actually lucky.
“If you have more oils in your skin, you’re likely to ward off wrinkles and fine lines for a bit longer than someone with dry skin,†she says.
Recommended products
Step 4: Moisturize in the a.m. and p.m.
Moisturizing is a very important step if you have oily skin.
“There is some belief that if you have oily skin, you don’t need to or shouldn’t moisturize,†Lee says. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.
“All skin types need moisturizer, but if you have oily skin, you should be more careful with what kind of moisturizer you’re using,†Lee says.
Her recommendation? Look for a moisturizer that’s:
Any moisturizer that’s formulated for acne-prone skin should meet these criteria.

The Best Skincare Routine for Dry Skin Includes These 9 Products
When you're faced with dry skin, you want to find ways to boost moisture. But how should you do that? Cultivating the best skincare routine for dry skin depends heavily on what products you use. We’ve put together a skincare routine that will help you achieve healthy, balanced skin that's plump and supple.
What Is Dry Skin?
Dry skin (known as xerosis in scientific circles) is a condition that affects all ages. Symptoms may include itching, flaky skin, and a feeling of tightness that may even be painful. External factors — such as seasonal changes — typically exacerbate dry skin.
Dehydrated skin is often confused for dry skin, as they have overlapping symptoms. However, dry skin is a skin type that's due to a lack of natural oils while dehydrated skin is a temporary condition resulting from trans-epidermal water loss.
It's possible for those with oily skin to have dehydrated skin. So it's important to keep in mind that the skincare routine we're about to share for dry skin may not be completely fitting for anyone who is dealing with dehydration, especially if you're on the oilier side.
What a Skincare Routine for Dry Skin Should Include
To combat dry, tight skin, you'll want to build a routine that's full of nourishing, moisture-rich skincare products. You'll also want to focus on ingredients that fortify your skin's lipid barrier, which helps keep moisture in and acne-causing bacteria out.
1. Hydrating Cleanser
Look for a gentle cleanser that will leave your skin feeling clean and hydrated, rather than tight and uncomfortable. Seek a face wash with moisturizing ingredients such as vitamin E, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid. YORA's Rebalance Face Cleanser includes soothing chamomile and nourishing avocado oil to moisturize the skin while gently removing dirt, oil, and other impurities from the surface.
2. Hydrating Toner
After cleansing, you can follow up with a toner that will provide an added boost of hydration and rebalance your skin for the remainder of your routine. You can even apply multiple layers of your toner if you feel your skin needs it. Look for toners that have hydrating, soothing ingredients such as bamboo, cucumber, or chamomile.
3. Chemical Exfoliant
While a chemical exfoliant may sound harsh, it's actually a preferred method of removing dead skin cells from dry skin versus scrubs, which can be abrasive. Exfoliating at least once a week is beneficial if you have dry skin as it'll leave your complexion looking fresh while eliminating the risk of other issues, like breakouts.
Look for formulas with AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids), as they'll exfoliate the surface without stripping skin of its natural moisture. Glycolic acid, lactic acid, and mandelic acid are examples of AHAs that work well for dry skin exfoliation.
4. Hydrating Serum
A face serum is a formula that contains a high volume of active ingredients. While we recommend you begin using serums regularly in your 30s, it's perfectly fine to start in your 20s if you feel your skin needs it. Hydrating serumsare an excellent way to replenish your skin.
Hyaluronic acid is perhaps the most popular ingredient found in such serums. As a humectant, it's capable of drawing water from its surroundings and onto your skin. Thus, it’s ideal to apply this ingredient in humid conditions. Otherwise, if the air around you is lacking moisture, then hyaluronic acid will instead draw water from your skin, making your face even drier.
YORA's Dynamic Face Serum features a proprietary hyaluronic acid blend of PRIMALHYAL 50 and PrimalHyalâ„¢ 300 to plump and hydrate skin.
5. Eye Cream
If the delicate skin around or under your eye area is particularly dry, look for a specialized eye cream to help plump it up. YORA's Define Eye Contour is made with a proprietary hyaluronic acid blend of PRIMALHYAL 50 and PrimalHyalâ„¢ 300 plus seaweed extract to revitalize tired-looking eyes.
6. Facial Oil
Boost your moisturization with a facial oil, especially during the cold, dry winter months. A well-formulated oil will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth without leaving residue behind. YORA's Replenish Face Oil is infused with Co-Q10 and ANTILEUKINE 6®, which will not only moisturize your skin but also prevent signs of aging.
7. Moisturizing Face Cream or Lotion
Dry skin benefits from richer moisturizing face creams or lotions, as opposed to the lighter gels that work best for oily skin. Moisturizers with ceramides are especially ideal. Ceramides are your skin's natural moisturizing system that contribute to a strong lipid barrier, but they begin to deplete with age.
Fortunately, as a 2018 study from Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology discovered, moisturizers with ceramides are successful at mimicking the real thing, making it easier to replenish them. YORA’s Rebalance Facial Moisturizer has Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6 II, and Ceramide 1 to help repair and restore your lipid barrier while providing deep hydration.
8. Sunscreen
Cap your daytime routine with a sunscreen that not only provides ample protection from UVA and UVB rays but also features nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides. Sunscreen is arguably the best anti-aging product you can use. A well-formulated one will leave your skin moisturized and soft while offering sufficient sun protection (anything over broad spectrum SPF 30).
9. Overnight Mask
Take advantage of your body's natural cell regeneration time as you sleep with an overnight face mask. Apply an overnight mask as the last part of your evening skincare regimen, then wash it off first thing in the morning for a more vibrant complexion to start your day. The YORA Revitalise Face Mask is made with a T.R.U.E. Active Complex, which includes traditional Chinese herbs that act as a barrier to moisturize the skin.
