Ever wondered how you can get rid of awkward pimples on your back, stretch marks and other similar annoying skin issues? I am constantly seeking answers to these problems myself, and have rounded up some typical FAQs which will help provide a solution to skin problems.

What is pigmentation during pregnancy?

Some women find that when they get pregnant, the skin around their mouth and eyes gets significantly darker than other areas. This condition known as chloasma is caused by the change in hormones and usually goes away post-pregnancy. For damage control during pregnancy, use sunscreen all over and sunblock on the dark patches, to prevent them from getting darker. If it persists, it would be advisable to see a dermatologist.

Is there a substitute for sticky moisturising lotions?

Can I get rid of back blemishes?

Our back is probably the most covered up part of our body and because we are unable to reach it effectively, it takes more effort to keep it blemishfree. Sometimes the skin on the back breaks out in a rash or pimples. The best way to prevent this is to exfoliate regularly with a body brush so that the dry skin comes off. If you like getting a massage, indulge in a spa treatment especially to relax and nourish your back.

Most of us like to lather our skin with a body lotion after a bath – or at least on our hands and feet. However, I find some of them very sticky and tend to wash my hands with soap after using the body lotion, simply to get rid of the sensation of stickiness. A friend suggested a wonderful substitute. Some companies make body mists or spritzers which have the best of both worlds. They have the moisturizing and toning properties of a body care lotion and the fragrance of a perfume, which is usually fresh and non-sticky. These are usually part of the product portfolio of companies that make perfumes.

What are age spots?

When you gain weight suddenly, the skin cannot expand as quickly and elastin fibres under the skin tear with the pressure. Stretch marks are most visible during pregnancy. They look like reddish stripes when they first appear, but they fade to thin silver lines with time. Using Vitamin E oil or keeping your body well-moisturised are good preventive measures. Some companies make anti-stretch mark products too. If you have stretch marks in visible areas like the upper arms, use a concealer or foundation to camouflage them.

You may have noticed brown spots on the back of people’s hands, especially very light skinned people or Caucasians. These spots are known as liver spots and appear as people age. They can also appear on the neck, torso and back and are caused by the uneven production of melanin, the skin’s pigment that is responsible for the colour and tanning of our skin. Excessive exposure to the sun can also be a cause. It is best to see a dermatologist for the problem, but there are a few creams in the market that are targeted to treat this problem. Using a sunscreen is also a preventive measure.

How do I get rid of dark circles?

This is an extremely common problem and we have all faced it. Usually, with a few nights’ rest and good sleep, dark circles do vanish. In some cases they are due to fatigue, a poor diet or digestion, or insomnia. If they are chronic, see a doctor because it could be due to anaemia. There are a lot of herbal remedies that help reduce dark circles. For a temporary cure, cover your eyes with ice-cold used teabags or iced water for ten minutes. Changing your dietary patterns, cutting down on fat and increasing your intake of fibre and iron-rich foods will also help.

An unbelievable number of women moisturize their faces and apply makeup, but they forget their necks! This, more often than not, results in the neck region looking drier and duller than the rest of your face. Also, the signs of ageing are most visible first on the neck area. It is best to use a good antiwrinkle cream for the neck from your mid-thirties onwards. Also, regularly exfoliate and moisturize to prevent it from looking dry.

How do I deal with body odour?

When we sweat, we don’t necessarily smell. The odour comes in when we wear fabric that doesn’t allow the skin to breathe and when sweat comes into contact with this fabric on the surface of the skin. It helps if you keep your underarms free of hair at all times. Also after exercising, make sure you shower soon after so that sweat doesn’t dry on the skin leading to odour. Use an anti-perspirant deodorant at all times instead of just a deodorant. Antiperspirant ones prevent you from sweating and the fragrance keeps the odour away. As far as possible, try to wear natural fabrics like cotton or cotton blends as these help your skin breathe.
