Is Your Skin Sick?

Strengthening your skin’s immunity can make you look younger.

A 2013 UCLA study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that acne-prone subjects lacked a certain strain of surface bacteria, suggesting that skin needs good bacteria to keep the bad in check. New York gastroentologist Roshini Raj, MD, co-founded the Tula skincare line based on the principle that applying probiotics to skin has been shown to stimulate elasticity and collagen production.

Tula Skin Care Regimen and Giveaway

Tula is the Sanskrit word for balance. The concept of the line is that we need to take care of our insides to look good on the outside; and that feeling beautiful on the outside can improve how we feel on the inside. The line specifically incorporates a patented Probiotic Technology, which is quite unusual in skin care products. Recent studies have showed that the topical use of probiotics stimulates skin’s protective mechanism, improves moisture and the balance of the “good” bacteria on the skin’s surface, guards against acne and UV-induced damage and boosts skin’s elasticity and collagen production.

TULA For Life

Introducing Dr. Roshini Raj new skin care brand TULA using New Probiotic Technology
How Girliemom was introduced to TULA
At Girliemom we love a great skin care line and shopping on QVC.  We are big fans of QVC and received a sample of TULA for Life Illuminating Face Serum with our QVC Insider.  The sample was small so we stretched it out to use it in the morning and at night.  The sample felt great on our skin and the scent was clean and fresh.  So what did we do?  We contacted TULA over twitter,  received an email and received full size samples to use.  We could not wait to get started with this skin care line.

12 Scary Facts Your Skin Can Reveal About Your Health

There are many reasons you should visit your dermatologist regularly: They can scan for skin lesions or potential cancers, check out moles, and help you develop a skin care regimen for your own specific complexion needs. However, they also know to look out for things we’d never even consider that can actually be indicative of more serious underlying health problems. If you notice any of these visible symptoms, a doctor’s appointment may be a very, very good idea.

Yellow Eyes
The yellowing of the whites of the eyes, a condition known as scleral icterus, can indicate liver damage, says dermatologist Dr. Soheil Simzar of Ava MD.
Eye Bags and Puffiness
High-sodium foods and a diet rich in salt can promote water retention throughout the body, including the under-eye area, says Dr. Roshini Raj, a celebrity doctor and founder of TULA. Chronic allergies may also show up on the sensitive skin under your eyes—they dilate blood vessels and can cause them to leak, which creates puffiness and dark purple-blue hue.
Blue Shins or Gums
If certain parts of your skin, such as your shins or your gums turn blue, you may be having a reaction to a medication, says Dr. Simzar. However, if your skin turns a bluish gray, this may indicate chronic ingestion of lead products.
Hyperpigmentation and Discoloration
Sun exposure isn’t the only cause of hyperpigmentation: Thick, velvety brownish gray patches on the skin, especially around the neck, armpit or groin, could also be an early sign of diabetes, says Dr. Raj.
Grayish Skin
This means a lack of oxygen to the blood, says Kim Laudati of Kim Laudati Skin Care. This can mean emphysema or even predicate a possible heart attack. It can also indicate COPD, pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, and some cancers. A lesser […]

Seven Things Every Patient Should Know

This article originally appeared on Tesh.com 

To get the best possible healthcare, we have to be active participants in the process. So we have tips from Dr. Roshini Raj, Health magazine’s medical editor, on what doctors want you to know. These are the seven things every patient must know.

First, tell you doctor exactly what’s going on with you upfront. Don’t wait until the end of an exam to share intimate or embarrassing details with him. Also, just so you know, they don’t care if you haven’t shaved your legs.
Next, don’t think you have every ailment out there. A lot of people self-diagnose and think they need a certain drug because they heard about it in a commercial or saw an ad in a magazine. The only way to know what medicine you need is to let a doctor examine you.
Forget what you’ve seen on TV. Just because you saw that some TV personality has a certain medical condition and needed a certain test doesn’t mean you do, too. Only get the tests you need!
Another thing doctors want you to know: Your history! Doctors estimate about 70% of patients greet them with blank stares when asked questions about their family health history! That’s a problem, since your family’s health history often has a big impact on your future health. So keep a list with you of any family medical conditions you know about, along with your own medications and allergies.
Another thing doctors want you to do is tell the truth about how much you work out. It’s like this – more is better, but anything is better than nothing, so don’t lie to your doctor about your exercise routine, or lack of one. Being busy isn’t the same as working out. Be honest about how much you […]
