Beauty Tips for Winter
Winter weather along with indoor heating strips the skin of its natural oils and moisturizing factor, even the oiliest of skin types. Winter is around and this season is generally not a favorite of many, mainly because it is harsh on the skin. Many of the dry skin conditions that victimize us in the winter can be alleviated. Cleanse the face and body with warm water instead of hot water. Hot water and steam tends to have a drying effect when used too frequently and/or for lengthy periods of time. There are many ways to exfoliate our skin, but too many to mention here. Natural and synthetic (polyethylene beads) scrubs, face and body sponges/loofahs/brushes and alphahydroxy acid products with a concentration of 10 percent or less are all considered safe for at-home use on a regular basis.

Innovations Shines Brightly
I must admit this month’s winner had me a bit scared when I first read her letter. Shelby Tejeda wrote to The Magazine asking to be considered for many of the reasons most women have when they submit makeover applications. She is a mother and wife who is very busy and doesn’t spend much time on herself. It wasn’t until I got to Shelby’s line about the box of dye she just used to color her hair and I just knew she was screaming for a makeover. In my mind I imagined some wild colors or under-processed hair accident that would need special attention.
The Active FX Laser Really Works
Well, the verdict is in: The Active FX Laser Treatment definitely works. A week ago a good friend of mine, who happens to be one of the best cosmetic dermatologists around, offered me an Active FX Laser Treatment, which is in the CO2 laser family. The CO2 laser customarily is a very invasive laser treatment used to rejuvenate the skin.

Ask Cathy of Cosmetic Concepts
Dear Cathy – I come in regularly for massages I’d say once a week or so since I have fybromyalgia and massage really seems to help me and thanks to your amazing prices on massage packages I can afford to do them. My friend was just telling me about a warm stone massage she had recently on a vacation and how wonderful it was. My question is do you think it will help with my condition?

Face shape is one of the most important points in your hairstyle. If your haircut doesn’t fit your face shape – you risk looking dull if not awful.

It’s Not Just for Stage Shows: Hypnosis Can Help You in Many Ways
Quacking like a duck, singing like Madonna, losing one’s belly button, all of these are entertaining tricks of the stage hypnotist. As amusing as these shows are, they often keep people from using the real power of hypnosis, which is the ability to use your mind to create states of consciousness to help you change behaviors and succeed.
The Holidays: A Time for Rejuvenation
The holiday season is a great time for a renewed interest in skin care. After months of exposure to the sun, you may have noticed a few new sunspots and freckles. Maybe a few fine lines have emerged or existing lines have deepened. These can slowly emerge after a nice hot summer. There is still plenty of time to implement a rejuvenating skin care regimen to combat the signs of aging and return your skin to a glowing, luminous state for the holidays.
Eyebrow Shaping:The Eye-Opening Makeover You Can’t Afford to Miss
Everyone has seen examples of tragically misshapen eyebrows. Either too much hair was taken off and the client was left with thin, badly shaped brows and/or the skin was lifted or burned and the client had to wait for the wound to heal. The result is always disastrous and completely preventable. It is very important to consult with the esthetician first, ask questions such as what styling techniques they use and do they use anything to prevent skin from lifting or burning.
Got Pigmentation Stains?
Today we are educated as to the harmful effects of the sun, which can lead to pigmentary alterations of the skin. Dark stains, which are localized concentrations of pigment and a visible sign of aging, are primarily found on the face, hands and neck, which can be very difficult to bleach or fade out.
Beauty Rules
Beauty is like a magnet; it attracts others to itself. The power of beauty is immeasurable. Today beauty is about individuality and must possess two types of allure: internal and external. While external beauty is largely reliant on others’ judgments, internal beauty is something we all possess and that has an effect on not only our physical appearance, but on our mental outlook as well. We all know when we look good it makes us feel good.
I’m 15 Pounds Lighter and Still Counting
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Koh. Because of him, my life has changed dramatically and forever.
For years, I have struggled with the ability to lose weight. In the past, I had tried so many different things and nothing worked. I tried various diets, diet pills and exercise but at times just the energy to exercise was too difficult. I felt all hope was lost until one day I read an article about Dr. Koh’s weight loss program. I was not ready to give up all hope and decided to give this new technique a try.
