Phobias: Many people experience a healthy amount of fear or apprehension when faced with scary objects like spiders or situations such as looking over edge of a cliff. But people who are intensely afraid of a specific object or situation may be suffering from an anxiety disorder known as a phobia. A phobic person displays a level of fear that is irrational and disproportionate to situation. Specific phobias often lead sufferers to avoid normal, everyday situations. Over 14 million adult Americans are affected by one type of phobia or another. Some of more common specific phobias are centered around closed-in places, heights, escalators, tunnels, highway driving, water, flying, dogs, and injuries involving blood.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: Post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as PTSD, is a debilitating anxiety disorder that is typically triggered by witnessing or taking part in a major traumatic event. Childhood abuse, rape, war, a terrorist act, death of a loved one, a natural disaster, or a catastrophic accident are all frequent causes of post traumatic stress disorder. Regardless of cause, development of post traumatic stress disorder often leads to intense feelings of fear, helplessness, or horror. After traumatic event, many people experience nightmares, daytime flashbacks of event, difficulty sleeping, numbness of emotions, or sometimes even personality changes. For many people, these symptoms stop within a month. However, for many others, symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder may continue for months or even years.

Social Anxiety Disorder: Social anxiety disorder affects men as frequently as it affects women. People who suffer from this condition tend to feel extreme anxiety about their behavior or their perceived behavior in a public setting. They may be terrified of being judged or ridiculed or causing themselves embarrassment. Physical symptoms associated with this social anxiety disorder include heart palpitations, faintness, blushing and profuse sweating. These symptoms often lead sufferer to avoid social situations.

Massage a nickel-size amount of facial moisturizer between your fingertips and then smooth over skin on your face and neck using upward and outward strokes. Pulling down on your skin will aggravate effects of gravity.

5.Protect Your Face

The best way to prevent unnecessary sun damage is to protect your skin from exposure to sun. Excess sun exposure can cause damage to your skin in form of freckles, roughness, age spots, wrinkles, and cancer. Skin cells can repair themselves to a certain degree even after they have been overexposed to ultraviolet light, as long as further exposure is avoided. So it is worth taking precautions to protect your skin from sun at any age. Ultraviolet rays barrage your face even when you least expect it: in car, at bus stop, and even walking in and out of house. Use a natural sunscreen product everyday, even if you don't plan on spending a lot of time outdoors.

Facial Skin Care Tips

Don't wait until bedtime to remove dirt, makeup, dust and pollutants from face. If you're in for night, wash your face as soon as you get home for day and apply eye cream and moisturizers.

Avoid soda, coffee and other caffienated beverages. These drinks dehydrate your body and rob moisture from skin. Instead, make sure you drink plenty of purified water throughout day. Water helps to plump your skin with moisture and it improves circulation. Try to drink enough water that you are never actually thirsty. I recommend a “Wellness Water™” purification system.

Use sunscreen everyday, not just when you are headed to beach. It’s never too late to start protecting your skin from damaging effects of sun. Wearing a sunscreen with at least SPF 15 everyday can protect your skin from premature aging, wrinkling, and age spots.
