SKIN SO SOFT Original Replenishing Body Lotion


Facial Deformity Danger?

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- With the popularity of fillers becoming mainstream, it's no surprise people are looking for longer lasting alternatives to prevent facial wrinkles. Dr. Arnold Klein, world renowned cosmetic dermatologist with an active practice in Beverly Hills says, "Fillers such as Artefill, Radiesse and Sculptra contain injectable plexiglass, bone and suture material. When injected into tissue, all of these products can cause foreign body reactions," Klein continued, "in which the body attacks these implants causing hard, red, painful and sometimes oozing nodules." With this combination of science and little long-term testing, each patient's response to these products is really unknown, according to Klein. The consequences can include lumps under the skin, long-term scarring and facial deformity Klein warned. One goes to their dermatologist expecting to achieve a more youthful appearance after their treatments and procedures ... yet the long term effect can be devastating with permanent disfigurement, often years after the procedure.

Dr. Klein believes there are time-tested and safe products on the market and he uses them often, but warns that, "you never want to put anything in your face that is permanent." As with any filler, the injection technique used by the surgeon is very important. His techniques include extreme attention to detail in which he analyzes the patient's facial features and injects the filler very, very slowly, all of which can take time to achieve the best results. This is done painstakingly without compromising the patient's health.

"The health and satisfaction of my patients is always my top priority. I hold my practice to the highest standard and do not endorse products that can harm my patients," says Dr. Klein. "Dermatology in its top form is art and the face should be treated that way, with the utmost care." The canvas is the patient's face ... the artist is the dermatologist and the brush is the syringe.

Dr. Klein is a member of 28 professional organizations such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and American Academy of Dermatology. Dr. Klein is the founder of the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) and Rose-Tarlow-Arnold W. Klein Breast Cancer Foundation at UCLA. Dr. Klein also serves as a Trustee to numerous Boards of Directors including the Jennifer Jones-Simon Foundation, the UCLA Center for the Health Sciences, The Discovery Eye Foundation and The Hereditary Disease Foundation

FDA Sunscreen Labeling Decision Delayed Another Month, Leading U.S. Physician to Say, 'Enough Is Enough'

Dr. Karl Gruber Says New Rules for Sunscreen Are Necessary to Protect All Consumers

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday delayed its decision on adopting a new rule and rating system for over-the-counter sunscreen products, further delaying better sun protection for consumers everywhere, according to Dr. Karl Gruber, a surgical pathologist and expert in sun protection.

The new rule and rating system would require sunscreen manufacturers to provide more detailed information about their products' level of protection against damaging ultraviolet A (UVA) rays because the link between UVA exposure, melanoma and solar aging is compelling. The FDA has been wrestling with the UVA rule and rating issue and the need to update sunscreen regulations since 1999. On Tuesday, the agency extended its comment period on the proposed regulations to December 26, 2007.

"It is difficult to see how extending the comment period by a month for an issue that has been debated for eight years is going to make any difference -- except to deny consumers the information they need to make the best decisions about their own health," says Dr. Gruber, a physician who has studied carefully and fully endorses the FDA's proposed regulations.

Since 1978, over-the-counter sunscreen protection has been rated solely by SPF values, which only provides information on a product's level of protection from the sun's ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation that causes sunburn.

The American Academy of Dermatologists now recommends that consumers use a broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks exposure to both UVA and UVB to help prevent skin cancer, the most prevalent of all types of cancers. More than 1 million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year alone, and more than 80 percent of these new cases could be prevented by protection from the sun's rays.(1)

Dr. Gruber regularly sees new cases of skin cancer in his Charleston, S.C. practice and subsequently created LUCA(TM) Sunscreen, which provides the maximum level of protection against both UVA and UVB rays. It is the only sun protection product in the U.S. to print on the bottle its critical wavelength value, the highest in the country and the most effective way to rate UVA protection.

LUCA Sunscreen is for adults and children and features a stabilized avobenzone formulation, which was uniquely created for LUCA as a light, cosmetically elegant alternative to zinc or titanium dioxide. It is water resistant, hypoallergenic, fragrance free and designed for use as a daily moisturizer. It is specially formulated for children and adults with sensitive skin.

A personal skin care program for you

by Ric Wiley

Why is it that all of us cannot keep the skin we were born with. Well I’ve still got my skin but it has changed and, according to my mother, it has changed a lot. It would also need to have stretched a bit, well in my case stretched a lot. As we get older, things happen to our skin, like wrinkles. I have them but I am a man so I can get away with it. Unfortunately, ladies find it harder to get away with having a few wrinkles. As a man, I am not too bothered by a few wrinkles and as long as I keep my skin clean, I do not bother with it much and no one really notices. What we do notice though is skin on women, and because many men are somehow genetically programmed to be uncaring and insensitive about your skin, you spend a great deal of time and effort to make your skin look good.

7 Best Acne Skin Care Tips - How to Stop Acne


by Tanya Turner

How do you care for your skin when acne suddenly shows up? Many people use skin care methods that actually do more harm than bring benefits. Are you one of them? See what are best acne skin care methods to prevent acne breakouts.

1. Clean your skin with gentle cleansers

Use mild cleansing agent on acne affected skin. Gently rub it in twice a day. If the weather is very hot or you do a lot of exercise makes sure to wash the sweat of your face. Bacteria can accumulate on your face when you are sweating. You can use an astringent cleanser for washing your face. Best cleansers contain benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, licochalone, chamomile, aloe vera, feverfew, and niacinamide. Avoid acne cleanser with high alcohol content, they will dry your skin.

Be careful not to overdo it with the cleansing. Using acne cleanser five times a day instead of two won't help. Actually it can only make your skin more irritated. Scrubbing acne affected skin is also a bad idea; it will only make acne worse.

2. Use exfoliating acne skin care products

Exfoliating means removing dead skin sells from the surface of your skin. Not only these sells make your skin look dull, they are also a good food for bacteria. At home you can use mild exfoliating scrubs about once a week. For a more dramatic effect ask a dermatologist if dermabrasion or a chemical peel can help you to get rid of acne.

3. Simplest rule of acne skin care - no squeezing and pinching

Don't tease your skin. It might be very tempting to get rid of these terrible whiteheads by squeezing them, but they will only pop up again and look even more awful then before. And it can also leave a scar on your skin.

4. Sun is the enemy of acne affected skin

Sun is damaging for any skin, but it is particularly dangerous when you have acne. First, acne makes your skin more sensitive. Second, most acne medications like cleansers and acne creams make your skin more susceptible to sun damage. Using a sun block cream is not a good idea, most sun screen creams are oil based. So for proper acne skin care stay out of the sun or wear a hat.

5. Shave with care when you have acne

Shaving can be a problem. Whether you use electric razor or a safety razor take extra care when shaving, if you have acne. If you use a safety razor, make sure it is very sharp. It is best to use disposable razors. Soften your beard with water and soap before putting a shaving cream on. It is recommended to use shaving creams for sensitive skin. And, most important, don't shave very often, because every shaving disturbs your skin and can make blemishes worse.

6. Select make-up carefully

Make-up can help to hide acne and acne scars, but you have to be careful applying it. Only select water based (not oil based) congealers and foundations. Avoid cheap cosmetic, it can damage your skin farther. If you use blush, go for a powder blush instead of a stick blush, it is less likely to clog your pores.

Remove your make up as soon as you get home. Even the best cosmetic is not really good for acne affected skin. It can clog your pores causing more acne breakouts. If you notice that your acne are getting worse, switch to a different brand make up. And don't use make-up unless absolutely necessary - decorative cosmetic is not a friend for acne skin care.

7. Keep dirty hands off your face

When working in the garden or doing any other dirty work, never touch your face. It can transfer bacteria to your skin and cause an acne breakout.

Stick to these simple rules of best acne skin care. Combined with a good acne treatment or medication they will help you to clean your face of acne and bring back your beautiful skin.

A personal skin care program for you

by Ric Wiley

Why is it that all of us cannot keep the skin we were born with. Well I’ve still got my skin but it has changed and, according to my mother, it has changed a lot. It would also need to have stretched a bit, well in my case stretched a lot. As we get older, things happen to our skin, like wrinkles. I have them but I am a man so I can get away with it. Unfortunately, ladies find it harder to get away with having a few wrinkles. As a man, I am not too bothered by a few wrinkles and as long as I keep my skin clean, I do not bother with it much and no one really notices. What we do notice though is skin on women, and because many men are somehow genetically programmed to be uncaring and insensitive about your skin, you spend a great deal of time and effort to make your skin look good.

Why is it then that men can get away with wrinkles but women cannot? Is there anything you can do about it? If you adopt a skin care program then this should help to affect how your skin looks and more importantly it will affect how you feel as well, and that is very important. You have to remember that the skin is the largest organ in your body and so by adopting a skincare program you are looking after yourself.

So what can you do about it? Well to start with after every shower even after you have dried yourself your skin is still damp and by applying moisturizer you are trapping moisture into your skin which is a great plus factor. Another one is to drink water and this hydration helps your skin as well. However, if you notice that even after this your skin is always dry and sometimes a little flakey, just visit your doctor to check things out. One other reason you should quickly visit is if there is a major change such as dark, (or lighter), skin patches and any changes or growth to moles you may have. Get these checked out just to make sure you have no problems.

One thing to watch out for is the effect the sun has on your skin. The sun is at its fiercest when it is highest, which is generally at midday, so just take care. Applying a good sunscreen helps, and another thing to take into consideration is that elastin, which is a substance in your skin, breaks down under strong sunlight. This can cause the skin to sag so just be careful. It is a pity about the effects of sunlight on skin as most of us feel much happier when exposed to sunlight.

Rather than buy every skincare product on the market there is a lot you can do to help your skin by developing your own personal skincare program.

Healthy skin is helped by a healthy diet, and a healthy diet is usually a balanced diet containing fresh vegetables and fruit. Both of these have been found to contain antioxidants which can help your skin protect itself from day to day living. To get the best values from fruit and veg though it must be fresh or only lightly cooked.

Another important factor in skincare is skin hydration and this is helped by drinking a sensibly amount of water. I have seen it suggested that 4 to 8 cups a day is sensible but if you are drinking bottled mineral water check the chemical makeup of the water as some are high in sodium which means high salt levels. Do not fall into the trap that drinking 4 to 8 cups of coffee a day, (which is mainly water after all), is as good for you. Coffee contains plenty of caffeine which helps the body to dispose of water. I had a great idea that I would drink beer instead of coffee as that is mainly water, but drinks containing alcohol, (including wine,) do not class as water either. It does not have to be bottled water either; tap water is fine as long as it is pure and clean. Not at bedtime though as drinking late at night means your body may retain this water causing your skin to stretch a little which is not something you want to happen.

Your skin also stretches when you become overweight and after a diet, and loosing weight, you will need to exercise to tone your skin into shape again. A younger person has more flexible skin but when you are older your skin is not as flexible and it becomes harder to tone your skin after loosing weight. The answer is not to try and put on weight in the first place but that is not always easy especially as we get older. However please try to keep weight gain off your skin care program as the two do not go together.

Whatever you decide to do, do some research and find out what will work best for you. One way of doing this is to talk to people selling skincare products in stores. Although their job is to try and sell you their product, they will still give you good advice. You could ask your friends as well, as some of them may be able to guide you in the right direction. Whatever you decide to do, good luck.

A Review of Clinique Skin Care

by Morgan Hamilton

Would you say that you are taking good care of yourself? If you are not, then how do you expect to look nice for years to come? All it comes down to is a healthy diet, some fitness training and last but not least, a good grooming regime. We shouldn't forget about the quality products as well. What skin care products you use? Do you go to the drugstore to get beauty products or do you go all out with the Channel and Lancôme? It doesn't matter what you prefer, there is one thing for sure - if your beauty products work well you will see results as the years go by.

When I see someone I can always tell if they disregard their appearance. Those who do so, look 45 when they are actually 32. Isn't that just awful? After all, with all those cosmetics available nowadays we should try to take better care of ourselves. We could use clinique skin care products. Even though they don't have high price tags, they are high quality. Have you ever tried these clinique skin care moisturizers? If you haven't, you should give them a shot.

The clinique skin care line is very sensitive and will keep your mug looking young and radiant and not wrinkled and old. Isn't this what we all want? That youth serum we've all dreamed of. The best thing about clinique skin care is the systems. No matter if your skin type is sensitive, oily, and normal or combination, it is easy to find the products that work for you. First of all, you should acquire a face soap. Just for your information, these soaps are very gently and they remove all the unpleasant dirt, oil and even make-up.

After you have thoroughly cleaned your face you should apply a toner to tighten the pores and remove any excess residue. Lastly, you need to put some moisturizing lotion which not only will prevent premature wrinkles but will also keep your cheeks smooth and shiny all day long. Buying any other products from the clinique skin care line is also a good idea especially for special occasions.

This line could be very useful for the men, as well, as it offers a variety of shaving and sin care for men. You can look tight and lovely, guys for a reasonable price. You don't need that overpriced cosmetic lines many companies offer. What is great about clinique kin care is that it cost less but works the best. Why not visit your local department store and check what clinique skin care has to offer? Don't hesitate. Do it now.

Favourite Tips On Honey And Skin Care!


by Ruth Tan

I would like to share with you some honey and skin care knowledge, one of the most popular topics amongst the female honey fans, before you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on all those anti-wrinkle and moisturising creams. Try some easy, home-made tonic and remedy with honey first. And remember, the main ingredient in all those costly skin care products in the store could be honey! Really, there is no simpler way to bring a smooth glow to your skin than with honey beauty recipes. Honey’s ability to absorb and retain moisture make it an ideal ingredient in a lot of cosmetics as it helps keep skin hydrated and fresh and prevents drying. It is known that ancient beauties regularly applied a mixture of honey and milk to the face to keep the skin young-looking, radiant, and smooth.

Honey's natural antioxidant and anti-microbial properties help to protect the skin from the damage of the sun's rays, supports the skin's ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin, leaving it feeling silky soft and supple. One of the most common skin benefits of honey is related to minor acne treatment. Honey absorbs impurities from the pores on the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent. With the wide-ranging of honey and skin care recipes, it is no wonder that there exists a huge number of honey products in the market for hair care, baby care, skin care for sunscreen, hand lotions, facial scrubs and moisturizers. And for instance, the Manuka Honey Lip Balm is an effective and natural moisturiser. It contains sun protection properties to soothe and protect the lips from becoming dry and chapped in cold and dry weather.

10 Pampering Homemade Honey Recipes for Skin Care:

Here are some do-it-yourself, self-help, extremely easy to follow recipes to enjoy the benefits of honey in skin care. I recommend them also because all the ingredients that go along with them are so easily accessible.

1. Cucumber-Honey Toner:

Puree 1 cucumber in a blender and drain away the liquid. Add 2 teaspoons of honey and mix. Apply on the face and neck area with a cotton pad. Air dry it and rinse clean.

2. Honey-Apple Toner:

In a blender or food processor, combine 1 peeled, cored apple with a tablespoon of honey and pulse until smooth. Apply mixture to face and allow it to stay for 15 minutes, then rinse.

3. Honey-Oats Face Scrub:

Combine 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon finely-ground almonds, 2 tablespoons dry oatmeal, and some lemon juice or yogurt to a luxurious and exfoliating facial scrub. Massage mixture gently onto face, then rinse with warm water.

4. Gentle Honey Cleanser:

Mix 1/4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon liquid soap and 1/2 cup glycerin (found in drug stores). Apply gently on to face using a face sponge. Rinse with warm water and pat face dry.

5. Hot Honey Bath:

Perhaps the easiest beauty recipe related to honey and skin care -- Add 1/4 cup of honey to your hot bath water for silky and luscious skin.

6. Honey and Egg Mask:

Mix egg white and honey to form a face mask for gently removing the tan from your face.

7. Honey-Papaya Mask:

Honey and skin care also applies for people with oily skin -- Take 1/3-cup cocoa, three teaspoons of heavy cream, 1/3-cup ripe papaya, 1/4-cup honey and three teaspoons of oatmeal powder. Mix and apply on your face. After 10 minutes, wash your face with warm water.

8. Honey-Lemon Moisturiser:

Mix honey, lemon and vegetable oil and use it as a moisturiser for dry skin. Apply this mask for 10 minutes.

9. Moisturizing Honey Mask:

Mix 2 tablespoons honey and 2 teaspoons milk or cream. Smooth on face and allow to remain for 10 minutes, then rinse.

10. Honey Hair Conditioning Treatment:

For lustrous, silky, healthy hair and scalp, simply combine 1/2 cup honey and 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup olive oil. Massage scalp with this conditioner, then put on a shower cap for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse as usual.

A Dash Of Nature For Your Skin

by Wain Roy

Can you ever have enough of beauty? The answer, in most cases, would be a ‘no’. That is, perhaps, why the human kind has never stopped its eternal search for ways to look better and healthier. Every age had its own share of beauty treatments; but the old has come to rule again, only to get better now. The very ancient organic skin care regime is back with a bang. It’s this natural way to treat skin that is all the rage across the globe these days and quite deservedly so.

So you may ask, what is wrong with the earlier or still-there skin care products? May be there is nothing wrong with them, but there is nothing good either. Be it skin problems or real-life troubles, natural solutions always have an edge over the synthetic ones. Hence, the growing demand for organic beauty ranges. To underline the essential goodness of nature, organic skin care products are slowly seeping in deep in the skins and hearts of today’s men and women.

The obvious difference between the organic skin care line and the existing synthetic cosmetic range is that the former relies on nature to do the good job, while the latter draws sustenance from the power of chemicals. Given that, wouldn’t it be wise to go organic and flaunt a healthier skin? Of course, it does not await an answer.

Natural skin care products are produced from natural ingredients that grow in nutrient-rich soils. Anything and everything natural—ranging from flowers to roots, plant extracts to natural oils (aloe vera, jojoba, rosemary, olive oil, lavender), etc—would go in the making of these products.

It is often found that the regular synthetic products fall short of the corrective influence on skin, while the natural products show significant results in similar situations. And just in case you are wondering, there is an organic skin care product for every skin type and problem. There is organic skin care for acne, pimples, blemishes, pigmentation, dark circles, wrinkles and more. Keeping in mind all age groups, there are even anti aging organic skin care products, which can oxygenate and revitalize the skin to render a fresh look.

These natural beauty products are not limited to the face; there are body products as well. You will get organically produced shampoos, body lotions, baby oils, soaps and perfumes, along with naturally fragranced toners, cleansers, moisturizers, shaving creams, face masks, lipsticks, blushers, powder, foundation, nail polishes etc. Therefore, you can do just as fine with this range as you have been doing with those chemical-based commercial products. So, why take chances as long as it is about your health and beauty? Treat your skin to the natural elements right away. And once you have tried these and discovered a new ‘you’ in you, rest assured you would not go back to your old beauty range.

ACNE

Acne and Natural Skin Care

by Kathy Love

A basic description of acne would be that acne is a systemic inflammatory disease that affects the skin. But what causes acne? There are several factors that may cause acne and they are:

-- hormone imbalance during the teen years -- hormone changes during pregnancy, menstrual cycle and menopause -- heredity -- some drugs, including androgens, lithium, and barbiturates, are known to cause acne -- using greasy cosmetics that can alter the follicle cells so that they stick together -- high humidity -- stress

There are several natural things that you can do to help your skin heal:

First would be to get rid of cosmetics that are greasy and filled with chemicals you can't pronounce. There are lots of natural cosmetics and skin care products that are good for the skin and do not promote acne.

Give your body a break and eat a healthy diet and avoid processed and deep fried foods as well as soft drinks and other sugary foods. Be sure to eat lots of vegetables.

Get rid of as many toxins as you can. They come in the form of detergents, air fresheners, perfumes, fabric softeners, soaps, deodorants, house cleaning products, etc. Use natural alternatives to these and help your body stay healthy.

To help you heal your acne, here are some natural skin care remedies you can try:

Baking Soda Paste -- Put some baking soda in water to form a paste. Dab the paste on your skin gently and then rinse. This paste will exfoliate the skin and unclog your pores.

Apple Cider Vinegar -- Vinegar is known to kill bacteria which can cause acne. It is also great for balancing your skin’s pH and will help eliminate excess oil from the skin. Put one teaspoon of vinegar in 1/4 cup of water, or even stronger if you want. Put the vinegar on your skin and leave for about 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse.

Tea Tree Oil -- Tea tree oil is well know as an antiseptic. Apply it directly on each pimple. Tea tree oil comes in a gel which can make it easier to apply over larger areas of the skin. It is not quite as strong as the oil, however, so may not be as effective.

Aloe Vera -- Put aloe vera gel directly on the skin and leave on. It is helpful in preventing scaring and helps the skin heal more quickly.

Colloidal Silver -- A natural antibiotic is colloidal silver. You can buy it as a spray and just spray it directly onto your skin.

Grapefruit Seed Extract -- GSE is a powerful disinfectant and antimicrobial. You can buy it in liquid form. Put 10 to 20 drops in two ounces of water and apply to affected areas.

When applying these remedies use a soft cloth, either flannel or cotton, or use cotton balls. Do not apply by rubbing them on but dab on gently.
