Skin Conditions

What is a skin condition?

A skin condition is essentially an effect and can be controlled. The conditions I refer to here are things like: Dehydration, pigmentation be it hyper or hypo, vitiligo, rosacea and so forth. There are more serious Conditions/diseases of course. Some can be treated by people such as an esthetician who is more versed in skin care; others need a dermatologist/Doctor and require medication in order to control or fix. If you really wish to look into it, here is a list of a few good ones http://dermatology.about.com/od/skindiseases/u/Conditions.htm

What Causes common skin conditions?

The sun/frequent tanning, harsh weather, poor nutrition, prolonged illness, Stress, menstruation, severe neglect of the skin, Oil glands might be enlarged in say the T-zone area, and medications, are all things that can give you a skin condition. The sensitive category has it's own separate causes.

Those with sensitive skin may have both internal and or external aggravators.
Internal:
- Anything that causes Vasodialation ( blood vessels expand ) such as Caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods.
External:
- Environmental: Cold, wind, pollution
- Heat such as sauna's & hot baths
- Over stimulation from say massages or touching/rubbing at the face
- Harsh products such as: Exfolliants (scrubs), alcohols, AHA's ( Alpha hydroxy acid ), soaps, & fragrances.

Unlike the other three categories, A person with sensitive skin doesn't always mean it's a permanent thing. There have been common characteristics in those with sensitive skin. Those that are of English, Irish decent or anyone with fair skin, red (or blond) hair, freckles, have a tendency to be sensitive.
