All about your skin: Do you really know what moles, freckles and wrinkles are? 1. Freckle or mole? Freckles are caused by increased pigmentation in the top layer of the skin (the epidermis). They usually develop in childhood as a result of exposure to the sun, and are most common in people with light skin and fair hair. Moles also emerge from the top layer of skin and frequently grow down into the dermis. Moles can be present at birth. 2. If your face is red from exercising, should you cool down? This is a sign that your body is working hard to cool you down, by bringing warm blood from your body core to the surface of your skin. If this is a problem for you, do your exercise in shorter bursts in a cool environment. 3. Does dry skin cause wrinkles? Wrinkles are not actually caused by dry skin. They are most often caused by years of unprotected exposure to the sun, combined with your genetic makeup. The loss of subcutaneous fat and thinning of the skin as a result of aging also contribute to wrinkle formation. 4. Is underarm skin different? Underarm skin is naturally more delicate, sensitive, curvy and bumpy. In turn, it is more vulnerable to outside conditions, and "processes" like shaving or waxing. 5. What exactly are warts? Warts are benign thickenings in the skin or mucous membranes caused by the human papilloma virus. Because warts are caused by a virus and are therefore easily spread, staying healthy and doing what you can to keep your immune system strong can make you less susceptible. 6. Does smoking really age your skin? We all know of the many negative health effects of smoking. But smoking is bad for your skin, too. Smoking ages your skin, making it turn yellowish and contributing to the formation of facial lines. 7. Can I minimize melasma (also called "the mask of pregnancy") when pregnant? Pregnancy is a time of great change -- including changes to your skin. Many women notice increased skin pigmentation, particularly on the face. Called melasma (or "the mask of pregnancy"), the condition can be minimized through the frequent use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
