RETINOL
Is it ever to late to start using it?
RETINOIDS MINIMIZE THE APPEARANCE OF WRINKLES, BOLSTER SKIN'S THICKNESS AND ELASTICITY, SLOW THE BREAKDOWN OF COLLAGEN (WHICH HELPS KEEP SKIN FIRM), AND LIGHTEN BROWN SPOTS CAUSED BY SUN EXPOSURE. RETINOIDS WORK BY PROMPTING SURFACE SKIN CELLS TO TURN OVER AND DIE RAPIDLY, MAKING WAY FOR NEW CELL GROWTH UNDERNEATH. THEY HAMPER THE BREAKDOWN OF COLLAGEN AND THICKEN THE DEEPER LAYER OF SKIN WHERE WRINKLES GET THEIR START. YES! THEY REALLY DO WORK TO FIGHT WRINKLES. IT'S NOT TRUE, THAT RETINOIDS THIN THE SKIN. THEY TYPICALLY CAUSE PEELING AND REDNESS IN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF USE -- BUT THEY ACTUALLY THICKEN THE SKIN. FOR BROWN SPOTS THAT GIVE THE SKIN AN UNEVEN TONE, RETINOIDS SLOUGH THEM OFF AND CURB THE PRODUCTION OF MELANIN. YOU CAN START USING RETINOL IN YOUR 20S. AND IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO START IT IN YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE... NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU ARE! REMEMBER TO TELL YOUR ESTHETISIAN YOU ARE USING RETINOL PRODUCTS BEFORE GETTING WAXING OR CHEMICAL PEEL SERVICES!

SIX STEPS TO BEAT THE
RETINOL BLUES The mild skin irritation that comes with using retinol usually lasts one to two weeks, but it also has a tendency to make a comeback during the winter season when skin becomes overly dry. Here are six steps to help beat the retinol blues this winter!
1. Switch to a gentle, hydrating cleanser. 2. Apply to thoroughly dry skin. After washing, allow your skin 20 minutes to dry completely. Freshly washed skin has a reduced natural barrier and dampness causes the retinol to absorb faster, both of which increase the chance of redness and irritation.
Try glo*therapeutic Retinol CS or Triple Action Serum
3. Use the proper concentration. You can find retinol products that range from very low (0.1%) to very high (1%). If you have never subjected your skin to the effects of a retinolbased skin care regimen, start at a midrange level (.5%). 4. Use every other night. Give your skin time to acclimate to the product. 5. Use sparingly. A thin pea size layer is plenty enough. Using more won't bring faster results. 6. Moisturize with ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Apply a moisturizer after washing your face if your skin is sensitive. Allow the product to absorb before applying your retinol.

Looking Young Beyond Your 40s
Keep you makeup fresh Wearing heavy foundation will draw attention to fine lines and wrinkles. Exfoliating your lips will keep them plump and soft. Keep your look updated but without looking too trendy. Black does wonders for trimming a figure and is appropriate for almost every occasion, but as women get older, their skin tends to become palerr. Wearing black can create a harsh contrast that emphasizes wrinkles and calls attention to dark shadows under the chin and around the eyes. Add a bright accessory like a scarf or a statement necklace—any pop of color will lessen the washedout effect. If you're trying to cover your hips, arms or stomach underneath a shapeless blazer. A wellcut jacket that nips in at the waist and is shorter in length showcases the most flattering parts of your figure and creates a smooth line down your torso. Your Skirt Length Is Moving Down, Down, Down Just because your age is increasing doesn't mean your hemline has to as well. A skirt that grazes close to your ankles may hide slightly saggy knees, but it also tends to make women look wider and frumpier. To find the most flattering skirt length for your shape, look in the mirror and note the slimmest part of the area around your knee —right above, right below or in the middle —and that's where your hemline should hit. You've Got Your Bra on the Wrong Hook The wrongsize bra makes you look shorter, older and heavier. The clasp should be on the loosest hook to begin with and made tighter as the bra stretches over time. When it is on the tightest hook—that's when you know you need a new bra.
Your Jeans Have Too Much Stretch Denim is a gift to women who shop for both comfort and style, but erring on the side of too much comfort can lead to lumpiness.It's best to look for jeans with 2 percent elastic fiber. On the care label, you'll see Lycra, spandex or elastane. The right jeans will follow your silhouette, have enough stretch so that your legs won't look as if they're fighting to break free from your pants and, unlike denim with 4 percent or more elastic fiber, won't sag at the tush. Update your glasses. Out dated glasses can date you. Jersey fabric doesn't create the best shape. If you love jersey, go for a draped or ruched option that grazes your curves and strategically hides any bulges. Another option is doubleknitted jersey, which is a denser quality fabric that still has a bit of stretch for comfort. Or choose a slightly more tailored piece, like a sheath dress, which gives the illusion of structure but is a forgiving cut for most women. Vneck or scoop neck, which draws the eye to your décolletage (so long as it doesn't show cleavage). Collared shirts draw attention away from the neck area while giving a little more coverage. You might also choose a statement necklace that sits a little longer. Pick a style that's incorporating trendy pieces into your wardrobe, you should look for a classic style that includes some part of the trend. Shape wear can help contour the body, but don't wear anything too constricting for more than a few hours. Doing so may cause health problems. Chunky heels and platform shoes add unnecessary heaviness to the bottom portion of your body. Look for something more sleek and slim. A short silk scarf tied around your neck can draw unwanted attention to the area—not to mention make you look like a '60s airline stewardess. Instead, for a fun (and very Parisian) look, tie the scarf in a bow (or knot) around the handle of a purse in a contrasting color. One last piece of advice: Wearing a single pin or brooch on a jacket lapel can date you. Instead, use the pin or brooch to fasten a cardigan.

Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Skin Cancer Basal cell carcinoma is a cancer that grows on parts of your skin that get a lot of sun. It's the least risky type of skin cancer. As long as you catch it early, you can be cured.This cancer is unlikely to spread from your skin to other parts of your body, but it can move nearby into bone or other tissue under your skin. The tumors start off as small shiny bumps, usually on your nose or other parts of your face. But you can get them on any part of your body, including your trunk, legs, and arms. If you've got fair skin, you're more likely to get this skin cancer. Don't wait too long if your suspect one of these. Just like an iceberg, what you see on top the skin is much smaller than what is underneath. The longer you wait, the deeper and wider the dermatologist has to go to remove it.
Be wary of pink bumps on the skin that won't go away and get larger.
Basal cell carcinoma can look different. You may notice a skin growth in a dome shape that has blood vessels in it. It can be pink, brown, or black. At first, a basal cell carcinoma comes up like a small "pearly" bump that looks like a fleshcolored mole or a pimple that doesn’t go away. Sometimes these growths can look dark. Or you may also see shiny pink or red patches that are slightly scaly.
Your dermatologist may recommend wearing long sleeves or rash guard swim shirts when in the sun.
Another symptom to watch out for is a waxy, hard skin growth. Basal cell carcinomas are also fragile and can bleed easily.
