Pigmentation
March 20th, 2008The formation of the pigment melanin occurs in the basal layer of the epidermis by a cell called the melanocyte. Melas is a Greek word meaning “black”.
Skin problems related to acne, scarring and hyper-pigmentation are generally the end results of the Defense System of our skin. Contributing factors include, genetic and racial factors, product incompatibility, stress, hormonal imbalances, drug use, and excessive cuticle build up on the skin.
Hyper-pigmentation is formed when the Defense System of our skin overproduces melanin and can be categorised into two types, which is based on the underlying causes of Passive or Inflammatory.
Passive Hyper Pigmentation
Passive hyper-pigmentation is normally caused by internal chemical imbalances, due to hormonal imbalances, drug reaction, pregnancy and menopause. These are all typical cases where hyper-pigmentation can occur.
Inflammatory Pigmentation
Inflammatory pigmentation is caused by outside attacks to the skin.
Some common causes include over-exposure to the sun, reaction to cosmetic products, direct injury caused by lacerations and picking, or burning.
Establishing the cause or causes of the pigmentation is essential when choosing an appropriate treatment regime. To effectively treat pigmentation, we must always think beyond the surface. Pigmentation is what we see, but it can be related to UV rays weakening the structural integrity of the skin, triggering deterioration of skin’s defenses and immune responses, promoting cuticle build up, increasing free radicals, and oxidisation of light sensitive vitamins C and A within the skin. An effective treatment plan must be more than just fading the pigment or peeling it off, it must work with the overall intergrity of skin’s mechanism.
Remove
You need an effective removal system preferably a formulation that swells, softens and dissolves the skin. This is not only gentle dissolving away of the darker pigment, but it swells and softens the cells, creating a perfect pathway to get your Tyrosinase inhibitors down to the basal layer to block any ongoing over production of melanin.
Rebuild
Now we need to strengthen the skin’s structural integrity, enhancing cellular functioning and re-establishing the skin’s defenses and immune responses. If we don’t rebuild and strengthen the skin, weakened skin will remain in defense mode, and reproduce melanin for its protection.
Protect
On a daily basis, providing antioxidants and replacing light sensitive vitamins are essential for rebuilding and protection of the skin. Sunblock must be worn everyday, to avoid further damage.
Maintain
Regular treatment will keep the skin healthy, strong and functioning effectively in long term. The skin is a system that needs balance and all structures need to work in synergy with each other. When a condition appears on the surface, we must always think of underlying causes on the skin as a system. To effectively treat pigmentation we must also address this condition with this correct skin revision system.

Danne Montague-King Alkaline Wash & Body Enzyme
March 4th, 2008Article from: ”http://yourbeautyspot.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=255223“
Road test: Danne Montague-King Alkaline Wash & Body Enzyme
Aim? To ditch “bacne” and dead, pasty-looking skin, to reveal a clearer, glowing back.
Who’s it suitable for? Anyone suffering congestion, breakouts, acne or folliculitis.
What happens? The treatment is performed in two stages. First, an alkaline wash is applied which takes the pH of the skin from about 5.6 to 12 in less than three minutes. This helps to remove the acne-causing bacteria in the hair shaft, which will prevent inflammation and remove dead cell build-up on the surface layer. The second stage is enzyme therapy, which, according to Debbie Dickson, Australian director of Danné Montague King, “rebuilds, strengthens and regenerates a stronger, firmer, tissue.” As Dickson explains, the body enzyme product does this by increasing the circulatory and lymphatic system, as well as stimulating cellular enzyme functions assisting growth metabolism. What this means for your skin’s appearance? The product breaks down cell build up, smoothes and refines. This product is left to dry for around 30 minutes before removing. After this stage, a gel (Beta Gel) designed to assist the immune system is applied, as well as a moisturising cream.
Recommended number of treatments? Four to eight treatments, with weekly or fortnightly ones for the first two months.
Cost? From $150
The bottom line: “A facial for your back is an incredibly relaxing experience. The day after the treatment I noticed my skin felt a little rubbery, but this quickly improved. And after continued visits, I noticed a definite improvement in my back’s skin tone and clarity. It’s a great thing to have done at the end of winter in preparation for back-baring summer tops.” — Bree, Your Beauty Spot beauty editor

A balancing act for oily skin
March 3rd, 2008A very good article @ http://www.beautyheaven.com.au/article/a-balancing-act-for-oily-skin
Q) I have tried all the supermarket brands but my skin is still very oily. I am 28 and still have acne too. Can someone please give me some advice?
– Stefanie, QLD
A) First, let me put you on the right track about oily skin.
Many products made for oily skin work on the principle of drying the skin and stripping away the oil. This can actually exacerbate the problem as the negative feedback mechanism of the body registers that your skin is dry and the sebaceous glands respond by producing more oil.
A better way to look at your skin condition is through the idea of Yin and Yang – to reach a real solution we need to rebalance the skin, bringing it into harmony and homoeostasis. So, for a long-term solution, rather than just a quick fix, establish an ongoing, balancing home routine:
Use a foaming cleanser that will effectively cleanse the skin of excess oil without any harsh stripping or drying. You may not need an acne-specific cleanser as this could be too drying.Use a water-based transdermal moisturiser designed to adjust your pH and, by doing so, regulate (slow down) your oil flow. Oily skin also tends to become a bit dull, so a moisturiser with skin-brightening ingredients, like lemon, orange pulp extract or vitamin C, is also a good idea.
[Note: Maintaining a slightly acid pH of around 5.5 is important for optimal skin health. The growth of acne bacteria is dependent on the skin's pH and therefore, by upholding a normal skin pH of 5.5 acne growth is kept at its minimum.]
It is very important to keep oily skin well hydrated. When oily skin lacks good free water levels, sebaceous glands will produce excess oil to try to make up for the lack of moisture. Also, because oil floats, good free water levels make sure sebum moves through and onto the surface of the skin properly instead of getting clogged in the ducts, which is what leads to blockages, blackheads and eruptions.
Use a non-greasy sun block every day.
Take two essential fatty acid supplements every day as these help to hydrate the skin, promote healthy free water levels and have a regulating effect on the hormones that influence oily, acne-prone skin.
Regular exfoliation keeps the skin free of the redundant skin cells that not only make the skin appear dull but can block the excretory glands and cause pimples and blackheads. Use an effective exfoliant, but avoid really abrasive, grainy scrubs as they over-stimulate the oil glands. And, because daily exfoliation can also be too stimulating, combine once or twice-weekly exfoliation with a weekly purifying mask. Mask ingredients like sulphur, bentonite clay, eucalyptus, aloe and allantoin are great for oily skin.
Remember, controlling oiliness is about working with the skin, not just acting on top of it.
