Download or read book pH of the Skin Issues and Challenges written by C. Surber and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of expressing acidity as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration was defined and termed pH in the beginning of the 20th century. The general usefulness of the pH concept for life science was recognized and later gained importance to analytical research. Reports on results of pH measurements from living skin established the term acid mantle - the skin's own protective shield that maintains a naturally acid pH. It is invisible to the eye but crucial to the overall wellbeing of skin. Chronic alkalization can throw this acid mantle out of balance, leading to inflammation, dermatitis, and atopic skin diseases. It is therefore no surprise, that skin pH shifts have been observed in various skin pathologies. It is also obvious that the pH in topically applied preparations may play an important role. Optimal pH and buffer capacity within topical preparations not only support stability of active ingredients and auxiliary materials, but may also increase absorption of the non-ionized species of an acidic or a basic active ingredient. They may even open up opportunities to modify and "correct" skin pH and hence accelerate barrier recovery and maintain or enhance barrier integrity. Further efforts are needed to standardize and improve pH measurements in biological media or pharmaceutical/cosmetic vehicles to increase and ensure quality, comparability, and relevance of research data. In this volume, we present a unique collection of papers that address past, present and future issues of the pH of healthy and diseased skin. It is hoped that this collection will foster future efforts in clinical and experimental skin research.

Download or read book The Hidden Cause of Acne written by Melissa Gallico and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation into the root cause of the modern acne epidemic--fluoride--and how to remove it from your diet and lifestyle for clear, healthy skin • Chronicles the existing acne research to reveal fluoride was behind the rise of teenage acne in the mid-20th century and the dramatic increase in adult acne today • Details how to avoid fluoridated foods and beverages as well as other common sources of fluoride, such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and household products • Explains how to displace fluoride stored in your bones and other tissues through nutrition and the careful use of iodine According to a recent study, over 20 percent of men and 35 percent of women experience acne after the age of 30. At the same time, remote indigenous societies--such as the Inuit before they “moved to town” in the 1960s--experience no acne at all, even among their teenagers. Many things have been cited as causing acne, from sugar, chocolate, or pizza to dirty pillowcases, hormones, or genetics, but none of these “causes” have been able to explain the majority of acne cases, nor why chronic acne is on the rise. Using her FBI intelligence analyst skills, Melissa Gallico identifies fluoride as the root cause of the modern acne epidemic. Chronicling the existing acne research, she reveals where each study went wrong and what they missed. She shares her personal 20-year struggle with severe cystic acne not only on her face, but on her neck, chest, back, and even inside her ears. She explains how her travels around the world and her intelligence work helped her pinpoint exactly what was causing her treatment-resistant flare-ups--fluoridated water, foods, dental products, and the systemic build-up of childhood fluoride treatments. She details how to avoid fluoridated foods and beverages and explains how sources of fluoride work their way deeply into our daily lives through water as well as fluoride-based pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and common household products. The author exposes the corrupt science used to convince people of fluoride’s health benefits and examines the systemic toxicity of fluoride, including its anti-thyroid and neurotoxin effects, how it remains in the body for years, and how it can cause the symptoms of illnesses, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and depression. She explains how to displace fluoride stored in your bones and tissues through nutrition and the careful use of iodine. Offering a guide to freeing yourself from persistent adult acne, Gallico shows that it is possible to heal your skin even when dermatologists and their prescriptions have failed.

Download or read book Pimple Perfect written by Andrew Oh and published by Self-published. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Officially recognized as the first illustrative children’s book about acne! Why is this happening to me?!?! William goes to school one day when his classmates notice a bunch of mysterious red bumps on his face! Feeling afraid, William desperately searches for answers and is introduced to the world of acne. Based on a true story, Pimple Perfect is the perfect way to introduce your child and/or student to acne, the most common skin condition in the world. With Andrew Oh’s educational, childhood story and his sister Jackie Oh’s youthful and endearing illustrations, this family-oriented picture book teaches young readers about the ins and outs of acne and how to love their own skin regardless. Promoting Acne Education Acne is the most common skin condition in the world. However, many kids do not receive formal education on what exactly is acne nor what causes the pimples and bumps they see. Pimple Perfect walks readers through the concept of acne, what causes it, and the best hygiene practices to potentially prevent outbreaks. Eliminating Acne Stigma Unfortunately, acne is often stigmatized in various communities, especially schools. A large part of this is due to a lack of acne awareness and representation in media. This has caused students who have struggled with acne to lose confidence and grapple with self-image. Pimple Perfect encourages readers to accept themselves for who they uniquely are and provides real-life examples of how they can make a positive, accepting impact in their own schools. ***All proceeds from Pimple Perfect are donated to the American Skin Association, a volunteer-led health organization dedicated, through research, education, and advocacy, to saving lives and alleviating human suffering caused by the full spectrum of skin disease (https://www.americanskin.org/about/).
