June 5th, 2013

how to apply sunscreen

As we reviewed last week, the three factors that can most harm your skin are smoking, alcohol, and the sun. While the first two are simple to avoid, the sun isn’t as hard to keep away. The trouble being obvious: you can’t stay inside all day, and why would you? The outdoors are fun and healthy for your lifestyle. Last week we discussed the most important defense for your skin: sunscreen. We helped explain exactly what SPF is, the different types of sunscreen, and how exactly it works.

Why are celebrities using skin tightening before events?

May 11th, 2013

You might be thinking to yourself, “But won’t the cameras see the scars, the bruising, the swelling?” And the answer is no. Cosmetic surgery has advanced to the point that skin tightening procedures no longer require a scalpel and, often, even anesthesia.
