Steps to zap Blackheads


by Samantha Philips on 23/10/08 at 3:54pm

Aside from pimples, blackheads are another form of unsightly ‘bumps’ on your skin. They usually appear on the side of the nose, which are caused by excess oils. Personally, the solution that I have for this skin problem is to use one of those acne cleansing strips which are readily available in drugstores.

Aside from this, you should have a strict skin care regimen to prevent not just blackheads but also pimples to appear on your skin. You should cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin before going to bed. Wash your face with medicated soap and lukewarm water so that the oiliness can be reduced. If you do not like using the pore cleansing strips, you can use a pore cleansing cream or facial wash so that blackheads can be prevented.

Using a deep cleansing mask regularly also helps keep your pores from grease.

Lastly, use a good moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated after using a cleansing product. By following these tips and using products which are suitable for the type of skin that you have, steering clear of blackheads is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

By Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD WebMD Health News Questions and answers about the high-calorie diet that fuels the Olympic swimmer's championship performance.

Soy Products Can Reduce Sperm Counts!

By: Heather Hajek Published: Friday, 25 July 2008 www.healthnews.com C alling all men who want to become fathers! Soy products may reduce a man's sperm count. Based on a recent study, men who consume soy products may have lower sperm counts than those who don't. The study was based on a small group of men who visited the Massachusetts General Hospital Fertility Center from 2000 to 2006. Even though the study found that some of the men who ate soy products on a regular basis had lower sperm counts, the researchers conducting the study are not saying that soy products were the cause of the lower sperm concentrations.

Researchers don't deny that during the study men who consumed soy products had lower sperm counts, but they want people to realize there are other factors other than soy products that may have played a role in th...
