Skin Care 101

Accident Pro Prime

The skin functions to:

Enable you to experience sensations.
Protect your body from microbes.
Help to regulate body temperature.

Accident Pro Prime

Eczema
Skin becomes rough, inflamed, itchy or prone to bleeding. This condition is usually treated with topical creams or over-the-counter medication.

Psoriasis
An inflammation where the skin when the skin becomes thickened and itchy, often affecting the elbows, knees and scalp. It can be alleviated with creams and ointments while more severe cases are treated with oral medication.

Dandruff
Dandruff is not actually caused by a dry scalp, but by the build-up of oils and skin cells. Regularly wash your hair and use a suitable anti-dandruff shampoo.

Exposure to mild or harsh irritants can cause skin tissue damage. Some common types of burn are:

Thermal burns

When the skin comes in contact with a source of strong heat like a flame, boiling water or steam.
For mild burns, immerse the area under cool tap water for a few minutes.
Do not apply remedies like butter or ice as they may increase the chance of infection or worsen the injury.

Chemical (caustic) burns

Caused by contact with acids, bases, bleach or strong chemicals.
Ingestion can cause internal organ damage.
Rinse the affected area under running water for 10 to 20 minutes and seek medical attention.

Friction burns

Caused by the skin rubbing against a surface continuosly, like a carpet burn.
The skinning or chafing is usually treated by easing the pain with running it under cold, running water and applying an anti-inflammatory cream, and preventing infection.

Accident Pro Prime

Slather sunscreen even when it's cloudy! Protect your skin with sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays of at least SPF 30 and higher.

Avoid peak sunlight. The sunlight is at its brightest from 11am to 2pm.

Regularly change sheets & pillows for skin's sake. Damp and unclean pillows and bedsheets can be hotbeds for fungal or bacterial growth and dust mites.

Beauty sleep works. Have sufficient amount of rest and always remove makeup, dirt or grime before retiring for the day.

Stay hydrated. Did you know that 64% of our skin is made of water?

Manage that stress. Stress hormones can aggravate skin conditions like acne and eczema.

Look out for abnormal skin growths lika spot, rash or a nodule, or changes in mole growth. Regular examinations to take note of any unusual signs and changes is key to treating skin cancer early.
