Skincare Solutions for Top 5 Common Beauty Concerns

Whether it’s pimples, weak nails or ingrown hairs, these pesky problems seem to pop up on a regular basis. Below are some simple and effective ways to banish these beauty concerns.

There are just some skincare concerns that refuse to go away. Here’s a list of five irritating problems and how to prevail against them – with effective solutions to treat each stubborn concern. Find out how to banish these beauty dilemmas for good in Skincare-News.com’s latest article, “5 Pesky Skincare Problems Solved.”

 

 

Pimples. This is no doubt the most common pesky problem – and surely the most irritating. Fortunately, while we can’t eliminate all acne from our skin, we can prevent and treat most breakouts.

 

·         What to do: Invest in an effective spot treatment that contains 2.5 percent of bacteria-killing benzoyl peroxide or 2 percent of skin-exfoliating salicylic acid. Higher concentrations typically dry out and irritate the skin. Plus, lower concentrations of these ingredients seem to work just as well as the stronger stuff.

 

Weak nails. Got nails that easily break, split or peel? In addition to being unsightly, broken nails can hurt, and even invite infections.

 

·        What to do: Fortunately, there are many options that work to fortify nails and help them get back to tip-top shape. Every day for one month, soak nails in extra virgin olive oil for 10 to 15 minutes, and after that, continue to soak twice a week; always apply a cuticle cream; don’t use acetone nail polish removers; and find a protein- and antioxidant-rich formula designed to strengthen weak nails.

 

 

3.    Ingrown hairs. We’ve saved the best – or rather worse – for last. Ingrown hairs are the result of shaving or tweezing. The hair gets stuck just below the skin’s surface, causing irritation and inflammation. So not only do they look unpleasant, but ingrown hairs can be downright painful, showing up on your most sensitive spots – like your bikini line.



·         What to do: The best thing to prevent ingrown hairs is to regularly exfoliate the skin, so there’s no buildup of dead skin cells that can clog pores and lead to ingrowns. Try a cleanser with glycolic acid, an excellent exfoliating ingredient. It’s also helpful to treat the area with an anti-acne spot solution with 2 percent salicylic acid, which also helps to exfoliate. If skin is super-sensitive, use Neosporin instead.
