BOOKS The Dietary Cure for Acne (Cinna Health Products does not endorse books or authors listed in the BOOKS.) |
FACE TIME Be wise. Help your skin with a healthy, skin oriented diet. There is a common perception that diet, like hygiene and sunlight exposure, is one of the factors strongly associated with acne. That perception is, however, at variance with the consensus of the current dermatological opinion. That being said, one should be aware of clinical data showing the effect of certain foods on acne as well as acne diets designed and recommended by dermatologists, that apparently have a profound effect on the skin with acne. There are also a number of testimonials from people who saw miraculous changes in their acne when they changed what they ate everyday. For example, data from large population studies in China suggest a potential link between nutritional factors such as spicy and/or sweet diets and oily skin. Apparently, spicy or sweet foods (or combination of both) promote sebum excretion, worsening skin “oiliness”. The increased “oiliness” may lead to more clogged pores and more sebum on the skin and result in the blemishes, pimples, redness, inflammation and bacterial colonization of clogged pores – all well known manifestations of acne. Among sweets, chocolate is often given a bad name as some individuals may experience ill effects from it. However, scientists stress that this does not apply to everyone and the general population can enjoy chocolate’s goodness and appreciate its many health benefits. There are scientific reports that show a strong association between milk intake and teenage acne, suggesting that some milk components like hormones or other biologically active substances are sufficient to elicit acne-type responses in the teenage skin. Fruits and vegetables, especially those high in carotenoids, are good for everybody. This may be especially true for those with oily, prone to acne skin. It was found that regular consumption of tomato products improves antioxidant cell defenses due to their endogenous antioxidant compounds, notably lycopene and other carotenoids. On the other hand, the oxidative stress measured in patients with acne was found to be higher than normal. This strongly suggests the incorporation of antioxidants as part of a combined acne treatment, including natural antioxidants from carotenoid rich produce and food products, such as tomato, tomato juice or lycopene-enriched tomato juice. When comparing the prevalence of acne in different societies and cultures, it appears that people from Western civilizations – women, men and children – suffer the most from acne. On the other hand, acne skin problems are practically absent from some indigenous societies. The most striking difference between “natural” diets and diets influenced by Western culture is the high content of high-glycemic, insulin-spiking starchy carbohydrates, like cereals, breads, cakes, chips and candy. According to Dr. Cordain, the boost in blood sugar caused by digestion of these foods initiates a series of hormonal changes known to underlie the development of acne.

ROSACEA AND YOU ACNE AND YOU • Cosmetic allergy has become a problem that now affects quite a number of people. For example, according to recently published data from a survey in the United Kingdom, about 23% of women and 14% of men experience some sort of adverse reaction to a personal care product over the course of a year. In patch tests performed in doctors’ offices, about 10% of dermatologic patients were found to be allergic to certain cosmetic products or their constituent ingredients. The products included deodorants and perfumes, skin care products, hair care products and nail cosmetics. Fragrance chemicals and preservatives were the most common causes of skin irritation. Another often mentioned culprit includes UV filters. Skin irritation from everyday care products may add greatly to the suffering of those who already have problems with their skin. For rosacea-like or acne-like skin, the choice of a good cosmetic that helps to keep a beautiful and healthy complexion should be of the outmost importance. Read labels, ask your dermatologist and make intelligent, well-informed choices so your skin gets well deserved relief and support. • Rosacea in children? – That’s what doctors say. Rosacea, most commonly associated with adults in the 30-60 age range, also has been reported in children. In all cases, children presented with an erythematous facial rush and some also had other signs of rosacea, like flushing, pustules and teleangiectasias. In childhood, rosacea tends to begin as common facial flushing, often in response to stress or embarrassing situations. It is very unusual to see the intermediate stages of rosacea in a child, consisting of papules and pustules, though the ocular manifestations develop more often. Interestingly, there is a report of pediatric rosacea with typical facial redness and ocular manifestations in a child as small as four years old. All these facts should alert parents to the possibility that persistent facial redness or facial rash in a child may be the beginning of rosacea. It may be beneficial to recognize the earliest stages of rosacea in children so a dermatologist can be contacted and their advice diligently followed. Although there is an uncertainty if prophylactic treatment is necessary, special considerations for a child’s everyday hygiene and cosmetic skin care should be taken into account to prevent any additional, unwanted skin sensitizing and irritations. • The summer season is upon us so sun-protecting cosmetics should be an important concern for everyday skin care again. For those with a problem complexion, the choice of a sun-protecting product may present an additional challenge since some components in the product formulation can cause skin irritation. Remember that proper clothes also can help, like anything that diminishes skin exposure to the strong sunlight, such as long sleeves, long pants, a hat, or long shirts made of fabrics recommended for beach sunbathing. Check fashion journals and your favorite boutiques for this season’s lines of clothes especially designed for sun protection and pick something nice and practical for the sunny days. It will be a good addition to your summer skin care plan. |

NOREDOL® SKIN CARE GEL Cosmetic of choice for your skin needs. • Rosacea-compromised skin, among other clinical manifestations, shows signs of increased facial skin dryness and sensitivity. The latest recommendations for rosacea skin care stress the application of moisturizers as a necessary complement to the products used to relieve typical rosacea symptoms like facial redness, blemishes, burning sensation or itching. When choosing a moisturizer, special attention should be paid to the composition of the product to be sure it will not cause irritation or contact allergy that would aggravate a skin condition. In comments sent to us, many Noredol® Skin Care Gel users stress that the gel reduces visible facial redness and helps with other related skin problems without leaving skin over-dried or irritated. Customers note that they no longer need to use moisturizers as Noredol® is doing the job. That moisturizer-like quality makes Noredol® Skin Care Gel a good choice for cosmetic care for skin with roseacea-like symptoms or other skin conditions involving dryness and irritability. • Cleansing is an important aspect of skin care because it removes dirt, bacteria and dead surface cells, preparing the skin to better absorb topically applied medication or cosmetic products. For problematic skin that is very dry and sensitive or having an over-reactive complexion, routine cleansing calls for special considerations. For example, in rosacea-like skin, characterized by dryness, altered vascular reactivity and increased sensitivity, certain ingredients in general skin care products can aggravate the skin’s appearance and condition. We recommend washing the face before each application of Noredol® Skin Care Gel (for detailed application procedure go to www.noredol.com). For best results, wash the face very gently, just with warm water and a delicate soap, without rubbing or scrubbing the skin. From comments shared with us by Noredol® users, the diminished appearance of visible redness, less irritated skin and a more beautiful, healthier looking complexion can be enjoyed after several days of Noredol® gel application (usually after 2-14 days). • Noredol® Skin Care Gel, an innovative cosmetic, helps maintain a healthy, beautiful complexion by reducing the appearance of visible skin redness, blemishes and flare-ups often associated with rosacea or acne. Noredol® has a very gentle, pleasant formula that ”goes along” with all facial skin types in both men and women. It soothes and brings relief without unpleasant irritation or aggravation of existing skin conditions because of its unique, nature-based composition. For this reason, it can be a cosmetic of choice for those who need everyday help with their difficult, problem-prone skin, as proven by the comments and testimonials of those who already made this choice (find testimonials in Noredol® News and on pages www.noredol.com). |

Mint Common plant with a long history • Mint originated in the Mediterranean regions of Europe and its many varieties are now cultivated all over the world. The word mint is derived from Greek and its origin can be found in Greek mythology. According to legend, Persephone, wife of Pluto, became so jealous of the nymph Minthe, for whom her husband had a great affection, that she summoned all her powers and diminished Minthe into a low, common plant. Pluto, unable to reverse the spell, lessened the curse by giving Minthe a scent that grew sweeter and more enchanting the more it was tread upon. In Roman mythology, the name Minthe changed to Mentha and became the name for mint plants, a genus of fragrant, extremely useful herbs. For the ancient Romans mint was a symbol of hospitality, strewn around at feasts and banquets as a welcoming sign to guests. It also was used to flavor wines and sauces. From Latin, the name mint entered the contemporary common languages and became a scientific term. The first scientific description of the mint plant was by a British biologist Ray (Latin: Raius) in 1704, who named it Mentha palustris, Peper-Mint. Dale, a pharmacist from Essex, pointed out the healing effects of the mint plant as early as 1705. It is widely accepted that Pilgrims brought mint – the spearmint variety – to North America. Today mint plant is spread all over the world and cultivated for many uses. It serves as a fragrant addition to dishes in many cuisines as well as being a valued medicinal herb, cosmetic product or source of compounds with medicinal properties. It also has its own town – Mentha, Michigan, named after the plant that is one of the town’s principal industries. In Osaka, Japan, there is a museum devoted to this humble but very useful plant – the Museum of Mint. |
