Scars are a sign that nature is working at protecting us. When cell tissue gets wounded the adjacent areas of skin get working to heal the injury. Specialised cells, called fibroblasts, produce bundles of fibrous connective tissue made up of collagen to reconnect the tissue. These bundles of whitish, relatively inelastic fibres appear on the surface as a scar after the healing process has completed itself. The deeper the wound, the greater the chances of a…
Our bodies say more than we know. They tattle about our past, present and future, in ways that we are only barely able to understand. And every one of the 37.2 trillion cells in our bodies join the conversation. The blueprint for every body is held within the nucleus of each cell – in strands of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. And when we say that youthfulness is in your DNA, here’s what it means. DNA strands…
Is your skin inflamed? Dry, itchy, red? Sometimes flaring up with crusty fluid-filled bumps? Well, if it’s winter, it could be just the winter-itch. Or more. Skin dries out when the protective oils in the outermost layer, the stratum corneum, are depleted, reducing the water-holding capacity of the skin. This dry skin may become red, itchy and scaly – and eventually lead to a condition referred to as Eczema. Eczematous, or inflamed skin, can surface in…
Nothing defines a neat, taut jawline like the razor-sharp edge of a perfectly shaped beard. It does a great job with the cheekbones too, as it races neatly across the mid cheek in a straight line or a curve. Once you’ve nailed the look, you want it to stay that way. You can’t let the carefully cultivated 5 o’clock shadow get all hazy as stubble erupts across the border to soften those lines. Now here’s the…

Hair fall is normal The human body has around five million individual hairs. And a hundred thousand of those are on the head. A hair follicle is the sac from which the strand of hair grows. It anchors each strand to the skin. Cells within hair follicles divide and multiply creating fresh cells and pushing out the older dead cells to form the hair shaft. The phase when the strand grows is the active or anagen…
