Q: Hi madam, I am 40yrs old but you would think I am 60yrs. The reason is because of stretch marks, dry skin and sunburns on my face. Please, help me get out of this.Thanks
A: Madam, I know it’s quite disturbing to have skin problems and I can appreciate what you are going through.
Skin problems like stretch marks, sunburns, rashes, color changes, dry skin etc are caused by a number of factors…hereditary, inadequate nutrition, exposure to sunlight, certain drugs, excessive weight loss and weight gain, use of certain cosmetics and creams, high stress levels, poor sleep and exercise and other systemic illnesses like liver or kidney disease, cancer or endocrine abnormalities.
I would advise you avoid using artificial cosmetics and creams for now, commence a highly nutritious and well balanced diet, have a well programmed exercise plan and give yourself adequate rest.
Natural products like shear butter and coconut oil may be helpful and the use of a moisturizing soap like dove for the dry skin can also be commenced.
However, I believe you will benefit from a visit to a skin doctor (dermatologist) who would be able to evaluate you thoroughly and give you further advice and help.
Please remember that even though your skin is a reflection of your outward beauty, your true beauty lines within you…how you see yourself . Cheers and keep smiling! 🙂
