What Is Acne?
Acne is a disorder resulting from the action of hormones on the skin's oil glands (sebaceous glands), which leads to plugged pores and outbreaks of lesions commonly called pimples or zits. Acne lesions usually occur on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. Nearly 17 million people in the United States have acne, making it the most common skin disease. Although acne is not a serious health threat, severe acne can lead to disfiguring, permanent scarring, which can be upsetting to people who are affected by the disorder.

How Does Acne Develop?
Doctors describe acne as a disease of the pilosebaceous units (PSUs). Found over most of the body, PSUs consist of a sebaceous gland connected to a canal, called a follicle, that contains a fine hair (see "Normal Pilosebaceous Unit" diagram, below). These units are most numerous on the face, upper back, and chest. The sebaceous glands make an oily substance called sebum that normally empties onto the skin surface through the opening of the follicle, commonly called a pore. Cells called keratinocytes line the follicle.

Why Applying Insulin To Wounds Significantly Enhances Healing
Insulin is a hormone known primarily for regulating sugar levels in the blood, yet researchers at the University of California, Riverside, recently found that applying insulin directly to skin wounds significantly enhanced the healing process.Skin wounds in rats treated topically with insulin healed faster"surface cells in the epidermis covered the wound more quickly and cells in the dermis, the deeper part of the skin, were faster in rebuilding blood vessels.

Itch And Motivation To Scratch
Intense itching and the urge to scratch are symptoms of many chronic skin ailments. A new study conducted by Oxford University researchers has found that different reactions in the brain to two common allergy triggers -- allergens (pollen and dust) and histamine (allergy cells within the body caused by foods, drugs or infection) -- may shed some light on the itch-scratch cycle.

Got them to tweeze out the tiny little regrowths from my eyebrows. I was with my professional makeup artist friend when I bought them and she said they were WAY too dangerous to use near the eye and that I'd chicken out and not get any use out of them. Weeelllll, never one back down from a challenge, I used them a couple times and almost put out an eye! They have been safely resting in the back of my medicine cabinet ever since.

It is so pricy here (£60 compared to 20 Euros in the shop in Florence).Last time I got it my sister had hauled back some body lotions and the lovely almond soap for me from Italy. I actually read the bottle and was really surprised to see petroleum on it - considering it is supposedly made to the same recipe as it was hundreds of years ago by the monks! My BIL is a scientist and he didnt think they would have had petroleum in Florence then. Naughty marketing claims! Still, it's a great body lotion.Thanks for the tip on the eye cream, about time I started using one properly!I love their body lotion, too. I love their products, and I feel that they are just special.
