| Protect your skin this Holi
New Delhi, March 21 (IANS) Holi brings along vibrant and festive fervour but there are chances that it could cause unwanted skin problems. In the pursuit of splashing and smearing colours on one another, people often ignore harmful chemicals that can affect one's skin. According to Sachin Dhawan, a senior dermatologist at Umkal Hospital, Gurgaon, there is an increase in the number of patients who come to him during Holi. 'Every year I get around 20 patients on the day of Holi who complain of extreme skin dryness and allergic reactions like rashes and skin burns. This happens as a result of synthetic colours, which have an adverse impact on their skin.' The doctor also indicated that in rare cases, people might also become vulnerable to developing skin cancer in the long run.

5 things you didn't know about acne
As prom season looms, here's some advice from Dr. Jason Green, a dermatologist, on treating and preventing acne. 1Hormones, stress: ''No one's too old to have acne,'' Green says. ''It's not restricted to puberty.'' Factors that can aggravate acne include an increase in male hormones in males and females, menstruation, emotional stress, hair products and oil and grease from cosmetics. Vigorous face-washing can also make acne worse, as well as astringents, which strip skin of natural moisturizers. 2Stop squeezing: ''The most important thing is to prevent scars,'' Green says. ''Do not pop, squeeze or pick at acne. Seek medical treatment early if it doesn't respond to over-the-counter medications.'' Several therapeutic regimens prevent future eruptions and therefore take about eight weeks to work.
Beauty firms market skin care for adults with acne
NEW YORK -- Acne isn't a problem that magically disappears when you turn 20. Even though it's thought of as a teen skin problem, many adults -- in fact, most adults -- suffer at least occasional outbreaks of acne.
