On the mall shopping, having dinner with family or just about anywhere you may be, dress up in a way that represents you as the true you and not as what the media sees you. And one more thing, even celebs have their dirty little secrets like they have two week hairs under their arms. Under the spotlight or on the shoot of a feature film leaves not much time for hygiene down under the arms.

Many fall victim to the bandwagon and get hooked onto what others are doing.

Be ready to revise your style if it is demanded of you, flexibility is another key.

All women and even some men use beauty products each and everyday, many are unaware that the average woman applies close to two hundred specific chemical compounds on their faces each and every day. Two hundred may be a bit too exaggerated but it’s true, check out th3e ingredients on your make up and you’d get the picture. Also check the labels of soaps, cleansers and other beauty products you use and you may even end up with more. The lowly hair styling gel may contain anything form 2 dozen or more chemical compounds (and you’ll be surprised to know it also contains formaldehyde, you know, the embalming stuff or some derivative of sorts) and that’s just for hair styling. Be sure to check out the labels and also try to go organic, thought they are not as safe as you always think they were as with the previous post. Imagine all those chemicals being absorbed by your skin into the blood and you’d get the picture. If not, you end up becoming a soup of chemicals on the inside and suffer from some unknown disease you don’t even know might have been precipitated by the make-up and beauty products you use on you.

You’ve heard of them and they’ve been debated on for years, stem cells or the body’s super cells that have the ability to turn into just about any type pf cell inside the human body with a few hormones and genes thrown into the mix to make it all work out. Many say the beauty crèmes you get off the shelf for a dollar and the way pricy stuff you get form stores have just the same effects and ingredients, wrong!

Most anti-ageing compounds and products come from research in genetics and stem cells which has benefited millions of women world wide. The research is top secret and you would know why, who doesn’t want ageless skin?

There are a lot of beauty myths around which makes attaining perfect beauty a little harder, in this post we will tackle some of them in hopes of ending the fears people have about their bodies and maintaining that youthful glow. Let’s begin with hair, that all crowning glory of your physiology, there are myths that say you must not pluck hair or ten would grow in it’s place, that is very much false for there is no way that ten hairs would grow from just one single follicle. But do stay away from that gray hair for if you do pluck it, the one that grown in it’s place would lie flat giving the impression of thinning hair. A better option would be to color it and leave it be. What ever your ethnic background, we will all loose hair as we age and that has been the focus of many studies from the hair transplantation business. Better delay or prevent loss that have to add more to get more.

Gone are te days of pig skin grafts for people who suffer trauma such as accidents and burns that used to be sure ways for one to get ugly scar tissue for researchers have found that bone marrow stem cells are making the healing process faster and better than traditional skin graft methods. The procedure normally had the person’s own skin stretched onto the gaping skin wounds, cut from other less obvious parts of the body. The new research has pig skin treated with the person’s own skin cells then augmented with bone marrow stem cells allowing faster and better healing. Once the skin has begun to grow, it is then grafted onto the person without the pig skin allowing growth of the natural skin without using the pig skin as a substrate making the grafted skin good as new.

Touch has long been regarded as the simplest way people share feelings and compassion but the strange thing doctors have been wondering about for a long time is why the specific act seemingly brings about healing.
