Honey versus anti-winkle cream

Dermatocare started as skin care blog concentrated around Dermatology; however with research we realised that there is lot more than allopathy when it come to skin care. One such proof is this blog. Our research about honey coincidentally clashed with analysis of reputed anti-wrinkle cream; to our surprise honey scored higher. The details are tabulated below:

Benefit	Honey	Anti-wrinkle cream
Moisturizer	Yes	Glycerine and water
Vitamins	Six (riboflavin, niacin, pantathonic acid, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin C)	Four (tocopherol, niacin, vitamin C, pantathonic acid)
Anti-oxidants	Multiple (Chrysin, pinobanksin, catalase, pinocembrin)	One (green tea)
Minerals	Zinc, selenium	None
Amino acids	18-20 amino acids mostly Proline	None
Organic acids	Many especially Gluconic acid	None
Anti-septic	anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties	None
Preservative	Natural	Synthetic

Skin type- is more than just dry or oily!

Skin type is always thought of as either oily or dry but we determine skin typing on the basis of three factors:

1. Oil secretion- oily or dry or combination
2. Pigmentation- pigmented or non pigmented
3. Sensitivity- sensitive or resistant

• But why should I know my skin type?
• Is tissue paper helpful in determining skin type?
• What is significance of the three factors on the basis of which skin typing is done?

Open pores – there is no such dermatological term !!!!

As a dermatologist, I get patients who come looking for cure of open pores on their face which are impacting their looks and confidence. I have not read about open pores as a disease and couldn’t find any reference to the same in my standard dermatology textbooks. Hence, I decided to research about “open pores” and started to look for scientific data; this is the summary of information gathered and my understanding of open pores.

1. How do I recognise that I have open pores?
2. Why me! Why do I get these open pores?
3. Can we prevent development of new open pores?
4. Can I get rid of the open pores that I have?
