Kusuka kumamaski odaka ekhaya kuya egolide noma i-caviar isakazeka e-spa, sibeka izinto ezinhle ezixakile esikhunjeni sethu - kepha mhlawumbe akukho okuqine ngaphezu umchamo.

Yebo. "Ukwelashwa komchamo," njengoba kubizwa kanjalo, kunomlando omude nobekiwe njengokwelashwa kwesikhumba. Kusukela esikweni lamaNdiya okungenani emakhulwini amahlanu eminyaka edlule, lo mkhuba wafika kwabaseGibhithe, amaGreki, namaRoma, wawudumile phakathi neNkathi Ephakathi neNkathi Yokuvuselela, futhi waze wafinyelela ngisho nasezindlini zokugeza zabesifazane baseFrance bekhulu le-18. (Izinduna Zabantu Abadala Ingabe Ukuvela Yonke Indawo ... ngakho-ke mhlawumbe lokhu kufanele kukuhlole?)

Kodwa yini ngempela kuyinto ukwelashwa komchamo? Lokhu kwelashwa kwesikhumba okukhethekile kwenzaempeleni sebenzisa umchamo wangempela ukwelapha izinkinga zesikhumba. "Kunezinhlobonhlobo zokwelashwa komchamo abantu abathakasele kuzo muva nje, ikakhulukazi njengoba siqhubeka nokubheka ezinye izindlela zokwelapha zemvelo," kusho uMonica Schadlow, M.D., udokotela wesikhumba ogunyazwe yibhodi e-Manhattan Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery. "Ukwelashwa komchamo kungasetshenziswa ngokwezihloko njengomchamo omusha, futhi kukhona nabanye abazinikele ababuye bakhuthaze ukungeniswa komchamo."

Lezo zindlela zingakwenza ukuthi uphakamise ishiya, ikakhulukazi ngoba lelo ketshezi likhishwa emzimbeni njengoba imfucuza... noma abaningi bakholwa. Umchamo awuwona ngempela umkhiqizo owenziwe onobuthi, kodwa uwuketshezi olucwengekile, oluhlungwe egazini, oluqukethe amanzi nemisoco eyeqile umzimba wakho owawungayidingi ngempela ngesikhathi udliswa. "Umchamo uqobo awunanzalo, ngaphandle uma ugula futhi unegciwane lomgudu womchamo, futhi kukhona namanye ama-electrolyte namahomoni akhishwe emchameni," kusho uSchadlow.

Lezi zakhi zebhonasi yingakho abantu befaka futhi befaka izinto ezinzima-i-AKA pee yangempela. Abazinikele bakholelwa ukuthi kunomlingo owengeziwe ekugxilweni okuhlukahlukene komchamo kwamaminerali, usawoti, amahomoni, amasosha omzimba, nama-enzyme. "Abathanda ukwelashwa komchamo bacabanga ukuthi, uma kusetshenziswa ngokwezihloko, lokhu kungaba nemiphumela emihle esikhumbeni sezinto ezifana nezinduna, futhi kungaphinde kuthuthukise ukondla nokunwebeka," esho. "Kodwa akucaci ukuthi lezi zinto zingena ngempela yini ebusweni besikhumba." (Zama lobu buqili ukuze wenze okuningi ku-Moisturizer yakho.)

USchadlow ubuye abhale ngokushoda kobufakazi besayensi obufana nobunzima, izifundo eziyimpumputhe-yokuhlola noma yiziphi izinzuzo zangempela zomchamo wamakhompiyutha noma ofakiwe. "Ngenxa yazo zonke izinto eziguquguqukayo ekugxilweni kwezidakamizwa, kungase kube nzima ukwenza ucwaningo olunjalo," usho kanje.

Ngakho-ke uma umqondo wokungenisa uchame noma ukufaka umchamo omusha esikhumbeni sakho wenza i-gag reflex yakho isebenze, nawu umcabango omnandi kakhudlwana: Akudingekile ukuthi usebenzise i-chama yakho ukuze uthole imivuzo yokwelashwa komchamo, ngokusho kukaSchadlow. "Izinzuzo zokusetshenziswa kwe-topical azicacile, nokho, izinzuzo ze-urea-isithako esiyinhloko esisebenzayo kumchamo-sezisungulwe kahle," usho kanje.

I-Urea ine-hydrophilic, okusho ukuthi iyi-molecule ekhanga amanzi esiza isikhumba sibambelele siqinise i-H2O. USchadlow uthi futhi "inemiphumela ye-keratolytic," okusho nje ukuthi amaseli awanamathele kancane. Lokhu kuvumela ukuthi zihlukaniswe kalula, zithuthukise inzuzo engena ngamaseli-futhi yingakho i-urea ingasetshenziselwa ukusula amabala nezikhanyiso zesikhumba.

Eqinisweni, kungenzeka ukuthi usebenzisa ukwelapha ngomchamo ohlelweni lwakho kakade, ngoba akunjalo unayo ukufaka isampula yomchamo oqondile. (Phew.) "I-Urea ifakwa kokhilimu abaningi," kusho uSchadlow. "Isebenza njenge-ejenti yokukhipha amafutha kanye ne-humectant, okuyinhlanganisela enkulu yesikhumba esomile, nesirhabaxa."

Ama-moisturizers nama-creams ezinhlakeni ezahlukahlukene ze-urea ayatholakala kuwo womabili amafomu e-counter kanye ne-prescription, ngakho-ke ungahlala ubuza i-derm yakho uma lo mkhuba ukuheha. Kepha empeleni usebenzisa umchamo wakho esikhunjeni sakho? Mhlawumbe kungasebenzi kahle. Inani le-urea ozoyithatha kumchamo wakho alithembeki kangako, futhi ekugcineni lincike esikhathini sosuku nezinga lakho le-hydration ngesikhathi esithile. "Namuhla, kunezinketho eziningi zokhilimu abanokugxila kwe-urea okwaziwayo okungabizi kakhulu futhi kunambitheka kakhudlwana," kusho uSchadlow.
