September 2008 - Beauty Creams Amnesty, Avoid PMS Problems

First Ever Beauty Creams Amnesty!

As part of our campaign for better skin we have launched the first ever Beauty Creams Amnesty.  "What is a Beauty Cream Amnesty?" I hear you say.

As you know, at SkinGenesis we are constantly looking at new ways to improve your skin and we have had a major breakthrough! Last month we launched our Expert Skin Analysis service which gives the most in depth view of your skin ever.

A major part of understanding your skin and selecting the right treatments is knowing the acidity (pH) of your skin, but not just your skin.  The pH of the products you apply to your skin is also important.

Helping Women Avoid PMS Skin Problems

As national PMS Awareness Week approaches (08/09/08 - 14/09/08), SkinGenesis is focusing on the effects which the menstrual cycle can have on women's skin.

To help women fully understand how much PMS can impact on the skin, we have devised the SkinGenesis essential guide to 'Skin changes during the cycle'.

This unique guide looks into the four phases of the menstrual cycle and how they can affect the skin's natural balance, while also offering simple help and advice on how to improve the health of your skin.

During the premenstrual phase, which lasts around 14 days, women's bodies undergo a number of changes and it is throughout this time that the skin is at its most vulnerable. Skin cell membranes are at their weakest which can cause higher moisture loss, while varying levels of the body's natural hormones and a higher skin bacteria count can lead to skin becoming more susceptible to spots and breakouts.

As result of these factors it is during the premenstrual phase that women should be the most selective when it comes to choosing good skincare. At a minimum, a low pH anti-inflammatory wash should be used to cleanse the skin. This will help to make the skin more acidic, reduce bacteria, strengthen the cell walls as well as helping to retain natural moisture.
