Broccoli Sprout “Better than Sunscreens”

Picture of Broccoli for sunscreens imageNew research suggests that broccoli can prevent the damage from ultraviolet light that often leads to skin cancer. And, as many children would surely appreciate, you do not even have to eat it. The research suggests that people who lather themselves with an extract of broccoli sprouts are protected from the skin damage associated with ultraviolet radiation.
The results in human volunteers, backed by parallel evidence obtained in mice, show that the degree of skin redness (erythema) caused by UV rays, which is an accurate index of the inflammation and cell damage caused by UV radiation, is markedly reduced in extract-treated skin.

According to the findings, unlike a normal sunscreen, the extract did not absorb ultraviolet light to prevent it entering the skin. Instead, it worked inside the body by boosting the production of enzymes that protected cells against ultraviolet damage and the risk of skin cancer. Read more!

Picture of Massage Your Skin Image
Although they don’t refine your skin as well as skin brushing does, body exfoliators and scrubs certainly help keep your skin smooth.
These are typically cream-based products that contain granules or beads designed to dislodge and lift off dead cells. They’re great for clearing some of the skin’s superficial dryness and giving the skin a polish. Unlike skin brushing, which is done before you shower, you can use them while showering. All you need to do is massage the exfoliator over your body and let the product do the job. Concentrate on areas that tend to be drier, such as your knees, elbows and around your ankles and feet.

When choosing a scrub, steer clear of ones that contain rough or sharp granules since they’re likely to scratch your skin as you scrub. Read more!

New Clinique Skin Wellness Center at Weill Cornell

WHEN leading skin care and makeup company Clinique made its debut in 1968, the cosmetics brand altered America’s beauty landscape by using scientific language and clinical iconography at a time when highly perfumed, elaborately packaged creams dominated department stores. Through laboratories in the United States, Europe and Asia, and thanks to countless academic, medical and research relationships, Clinique is able to bring the best that science has to offer to our customers. Now Clinique has gone one step further in aligning itself with therapeutic imagery — and in the process has raised the ante for beauty companies seeking affiliations with doctors.
They announced the opening of the Clinique Skin Wellness Center by the Department of Dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College

The Clinique Skin Wellness Center will be directed by Dr. Richard Granstein, Chairman of the Depertment of Dermatology at Weill Cornell. It will exist to “advance the understanding of skin from clinical, scientific and cosmetic points of view.” Visionary in its concept, the Clinique Skin Wellness Center at Weill Cornell is both a physical space for patient services and education as well as a “center without walls” that fosters joint research, education and outreach programs.

Your Skin’s Worst Enemies

1. Alcohol
Alcohol’s dehydrating effects on the skin are well documented – it appears dry, with more lines and wrinkles. Alcohol also causes vasodilation, in which blood vessels become dilated, resulting in increased redness and irritation.

2. Caffeine
Even one strong cup can have a dramatic effect on your hydration status, so if you love your coffee, don’t forget to have a water chaser. Be careful with these new energy drinks, many of which have two to three times as much caffeine as coffee. Dehydration causes the skin to look dry, wrinkly and dull.

What In The World Are Dental Veneers?

Dental Veneers ImageIt seems everybody today wants whiter than white teeth. All the celebrities have them, and film stars seem to have had them forever. Most people rely on a quarterly painless cleaning by their dental hygienist and the rest of the time they use extra whitening toothpaste. Those who are really keen for the brightest teeth go for cosmetic dentistry. This is something that is particularly popular in places like Beverly Hills, and cosmetic dentistry is becoming big business.

Yet another way that people achieve extraordinarily white teeth is through the use of dental veneers. People with money to spare will often do this if their teeth are badly stained or discolored. Small strips made from either porcelain or plastic are made to cover your teeth and makes them look even whiter than God intended. Read more!

Things You Need To Know About Back Acne

For some people, getting back acne is not as bad as getting facial acne. After all, skin imperfections on one’s back is easier to hider under a layer of clothing – unless he or she has to wear a swimsuit to spend time at the beach or pool. In such cases, back acne can cause feelings of self-consciousness; no matter how attractive a person’s body is, having zits or pimples on one’s back can be disconcerting, not to mention uncomfortable.

The causes of back acne – or “bacne” – are pretty much similar to what causes pimples to emerge on other parts of the body. The back is filled with sebaceous glands, which secrete a kind of oil called sebum. If excessive amounts of this oil are produced and not removed immediately, the pores and the hair follicles on a person’s back will become clogged, which then encourages bacteria to attack and inflame skin tissue.

As defined by the American Optometric Association, C.V.S. is “the complex of eye and vision problems related to near work which are experienced during or related to computer use. . . In most cases, symptoms occur because the visual demands of the task exceed the visual abilities of the individual to comfortably perform the task.”

Acne, Its Types, Causes And Some Home Remedies

Acne PictureAcne is the term used for plugged pores. Acne can occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even the upper arms. Pimples include blackheads, whiteheads, and even deeper lumps (cysts or nodules).

Follicle contains a fine hair. These sebaceous glands attached to hair follicles are most numerous on the face, neck, back and chest.

The oily substance sebum produced by the sebaceous glands normally empties onto the skin surface through the opening of the follicle, usually called a pore.

Dry Eye Treatments: The Good Oil!

Dry Eye Treatments ImageDry eye disorders are common as we age and usually show up as gritty sore eyes that worsen as the day progresses. Closed eyelids as we sleep offers a recovery period but next day the whole annoying cycle starts over again. Current treatments are usually targeted at relieving symptoms of irritation with extra lubrication or punctal plugs that decrease tear outflow. Recently though our understanding of dry eye problems has improved dramatically. Better understanding of dry eyes problems helps lead to better diagnosis and newer treatment options that either prevent difficulties or reduce discomfort.

Age inevitably produces a gradual decline in our tear function. And there are two clear mechanisms involved. The first is decreased tear production from the primary lacrimal glands. This can happen because of autoimmune problems like arthritis or problems like diabetes which decrease eye sensitivity. The second is increased tear evaporation with reduced function of some of the glands in the lids called meibomium glands. Read more!
