Years spent in the sun start to mount up as you get older. Age spots (also known as liver spots or solar lentigo) are pigment accumulation caused by sun exposure. The pigment is produced in response to harm, much like a scar is produced in response to a cut. The pigment gathers in regions that have been damaged by thin skin or excessive sun exposure. Bruising that leaves blood pigment behind can also develop age spots. They are especially prevalent in adults over the age of 55. The spots are most usually found on the hands, but they can also form on the face, back, arms, feet, and shoulders, as well as other sun-exposed areas.

Symptoms


The emergence of black spots on the skin is the only symptom. They don't itch and aren't painful.

Diagnosis


Age spots are self-diagnosable based on their appearance. Contact your doctor if you are concerned about changes in your skin. He or she can conduct testing to rule out the presence of other diseases.



Expected Timeframe


Most age spots fade with time, but because the skin has been injured, they are unlikely to remove completely.

Scar formation is analogous to the development of age spots in that scars are typically heaped up as they occur and soften as they "remodel" over time.

Ag, winter is the worst! At least for our hair. The unforgiving freezing cold, wind, icy, moisture - the lot of it might be great for warm coats and hot drinks, but the season wreaks havoc on our hair and if you already have challenging hair issues, then it can really get your down when the days become shorter and the nights become colder.



But, never fear trusty reader, we’re going to look at a few simple ways that can help you manage your hair issues, not just in the winter but always, and even though this post may not solve all of your problems, we hope it will inspire you nevertheless to know that there are solutions out there - just look for them.

And boy do we love our hair! From extensions to undercuts, weaves, braids, and every style in between, the time has never been better to show off unique elements of your personality, through your hair.

Let’s get busy.

LET’S START WITH SOME TIPS FOR MANAGING DRY HAIR


Believe it or not, the easiest way to get rid of dry or brittle ends is to simply get your hair trimmed every six to eight weeks. Tada! Visiting your stylist regularly helps to get rid of split ends before they become even bigger issues and problems.

Regular trims also keep layers fresh and ‘falling’ properly, and with each trim, your hair goes into ‘boss mode’ when it comes to growth. Now remember ladies, we all seem to think that the only salons worth visiting are the ones that give you champagne, canapés, and imported coffees - and while these treats are nice, you could just as easily find a local stylist with all the skill, but minus the price tag.

Suffering from chronically dry hair? You may need to adjust your diet. Omega-3 (salmon, nuts, and seeds), as well as antioxidants (found in berries and spinach), can go a long way to ensuring that your body is working at its best and when your body is working at its best - it shows. Keeping up to date with your vitamin intake (D, A, C, and E) won’t just let you live better, it will also give you shiner, happier hair too. There is a reason pregnant women look so good.





NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT ALL OF THAT UNRULY HAIR!


Unruly hair is a real pain in the…well it’s a challenge. Make no mistake, as soon as you’ve found that one great look for you, that frizz makes an unwelcome appearance, and your one shot at marrying Ryan Gosling disappears as fast as that frizz arrives. Unruly hair seems to defy all laws of physics, in that it seems to be at once a slave to gravity while defying it too.

It starts with your shampoo. A thought you’re going to hear and read about a lot when it comes to hair care and there’s a good reason for that - it’s true. Taming unruly, frizzy hair starts with the right shampoo, and there are plenty to choose from. Again, you don’ have to spend a ridiculous amount of money on the best of the best products, but you do want to look for products that have active anti-frizz ingredients. You want a complex that smoothes your hair fiber and also coats your hair to achieve that anti-frizz protection.


As a general rule, gentle, moisturizing shampoos are the best choice for unruly hair.


Don’t wash your hair too frequently at the best of times, but certainly with unruly hair because, with unruly or frizzy hair, you already have hair that’s too dry, and washing it unnecessarily will only serve to dry it out, even more, making the problem more extreme.

Your hair strand is made up of different layers, when one looks at a strand of hair under a microscope, one can clearly see this and too frequent washing will make the cuticle layer of your hair rougher and drier and the result - the strawman look.
COVID-19 is at alarming rates in parts of the world. Therefore, maintaining a strong immune system has taken on new significance as many of us wish to avoid the flu and winter colds, as well as concerning strains of the virus that causes COVID-19, whether Delta or Omicron.

People who just got vaccinated

Unsurprisingly, marketers are capitalizing on our anxieties. A small business has sprung up around chewable, pills, and powders claiming to "boost" or "support" your immune system. Some even assert that proper food and physical exercise are all that are truly necessary to avoid illness. However, are any of these assertions true?
