Spray Water on your Face

Stop!  This would make your face dry up!

I have learned quite a no. of my clients, esp. the airline crew are doing this thinking this would add moisture to the face and keep it youthful look.  It works the opposite.

Why?

Let me ask you: Have you ever experienced having dry lips in winter and you lick to keep it wet?  The more you lick it, the dryer it becomes and eventually crack and make the surrounding area all red and itchy. :(  Same principle.

What you should do is drink water to keep your body well hydrated and this will show on the face. Apply a thin film of moisturiser (Sunscreen) to stop water content from losing to the environment will do. 

The more you put or do on your face, more harm done.  Keep it simple!

Sleep well and be happy!

My 1st Blog

Hi,

I would like to do this blog sharing my knowledge in Health Science with you and I welcome you guys and gals give me feedback.

Hmmm....the first one is a lot of girls and women would be most interested - especially Asians.

You know we Asians always talked about whitening of the face, all the skin products are selling this idea.

So here is a very simple idea that I just read recently and it really make sense.

Wear Sunglasses outdoor would help to stop Melanin production, thereby reduce getting the annoying Sun Spots discolorations.

The idea is UV rays shineing through the eyes would send signal to the brain to produce Melanin which is responsible for the production of Brown sun spots. Reason is this Melanin production is the body's self defence againist Skin Cancer.

OK, wearing sunglasses would be able to fool your body not to produce this Melanin - so no more brown spots but of course it is still not very good to expose yourself under the steaming sun for too long....find a shade!
