Discovering The Top Skin Science Secrets For Smooth Winter Skin

Skin science secrets for smooth winter skin: Insights from a chemist to break free from dry skin woes. If the dropping temperatures instantly make your skin feel dry and uncomfortable, you're not alone. Between the frigid air outside and overheated air inside, the winter months are loaded with skin stressors that can put your skin on a seemingly endless dry skin roller coaster. According to Dr. Kate Biberdorf, also known as Kate the Chemist, this roller coaster can lead to a weakened skin barrier. "Think of your skin barrier as a leaky bucket, and you're constantly trying to fill it with moisturizers — but things like changes in temperature and humidity levels can strip the skin of moisture and contribute to leaks," explained Kate. "The best solution is to fix the holes in the bucket to st...

Spiked Dog Collars As A Human Fashion

And the amazing thing is that these types of dog collars with spikes sticking out of them probably appeal more to humans as some sort of fashion statement then dog owners. Let's face it, there are probably more people wearing spiked dog collars then dogs. This trend of people wearing spiked dog collars began during the rise of the punk music movement when young punks began wearing them to shock establishment. Wearing a dog collar fit right in with the image that punk rockers and their fans were trying to project.

Confessions Of A Beauty Queen

Many people think that "Beauty Queens" are just brainless girls with pretty faces who happen to look good in a swimsuit. I want to tell you that this rumor is not true. Admittedly, some pageants exist in which the only thing that counts is your looks. But it takes a lot more than good looks and a nice body to take home the crowns in the more reputable pageants. I competed in the Miss America set of pageants, and I will tell you, it was tough. First of all, the Miss America organization gives out over a million dollars annually in SCHOLARSHIPS. This means that they give money to deserving women that is applied toward their pursuit of higher education. They do not simply write checks to pretty girls and tell them they can go buy clothes, shoes, make-up, or other fleeting frivolities. Second...

Is Your Dress Too Short – A Mature Woman’s Guide To The Right Hemline

You're over forty. Can you still wear a short dress? For some women, a short hemline is perfectly fine but, for others it is a definite fashion offense. A dress that is too short can make a mature woman look like she is trying too hard to look young. On others, it can expose those areas on your body that are better left hidden. Here are some basic tips for finding the hemline that is right for you. 1. Consider your age Age is very important in determining the correct hemline for you. A sixty-five year old woman might have beautiful legs but, a micro-mini skirt would look totally inappropriate for her. Generally speaking, hems that stop at the knees are acceptable for every woman. Women in their forties may wear their skirts slightly above the knee. Women fifty and up should not go shorte...

The Bra That Tried To Kill Me

At first it seemed like the one for me. It had cushy straps that seemed wide enough not to sever my shoulders. It had thick underwires strong enough for a space shuttle (but made for a woman... ). It wasn't very pretty, though, a characteristic that many of the "big" ones share. I wanted a pretty bra even though my husband's opinion on bras is: "It's what's inside that counts". What I thought was the perfect bra made me feel supported, and I even looked a little thinner with everything in its place. I took really good care of it, hanging it up to dry like instructed on the care tag. Then something happened. It started as just a little poke in the side, just under my arm. I ignored it at first, thinking I could just readjust. Every time I washed it and wore it, I would pull the wire back...

The Worst Fashion Combinations

We have all had a look through the photo albums and often wondered what on earth we were thinking when we decided that floral jumper looked great with the leopard print leggings. Interestingly money doesn't buy you style and it's often celebrities that end up putting together some of the worst fashion combinations. Here are a few pointers to help you know what to avoid. Just because it's hot on the catwalk doesn't mean it's going to look good on you, remember many fashion designers about push boundaries and concept design. Don't mix denim with denim, it didn't look good in the 80's and it won't look good now, look to combine denim skirts, jeans and jackets with other solid colors and if you have to wear darker denim washes, you don't want to look like you are wearing a denim suit.
