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.

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.

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.

Sunscreens, Not That Good?

Sunscreens Not That GoodA class-action lawsuit filed last March in Los Angeles Superior Court alleges that five major U.S. makers of sunscreen lotion falsely tout that their products are waterproof and offer protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Neutrogena, Coppertone, Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic and Bullfrog are the sunscreen makers, argue they have not changed their labels because the Food and Drug Administration has not enforced the standardization of all sunscreen labels, which was proposed in 1999. Under new regulations, manufacturers cannot include misleading terms, such as “waterproof,” “sunblock,” “all-day protection” and “visible and/or infrared light protection.”

When you are exposed to the sun and sunlamps, your skin color changes because it’s protecting itself from damaging ultraviolet rays.
