Okay. I don't want to bleach my skin like Michael Jackson. I just want a real working remody that will take a tanned person (me) to become a little whiter.

What do you do if the lightest foundation is still to dark your skin?
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
I use the lightest color of foundation and it's still too dark for my pale skin! Do you know what I should do? I read you can mix it with a moisturizer, but then it's more of a tinted moisturizer and i want more coverage than that. Do you know of any really light foundations/concealers? Help!?
Answer :————————
You can use your regular foundation that is currently too dark for you. Then, you can set it with a 'mineral viel' (which is a white non shimmery powder). Loreal makes one that's great, and so does Maybelline. Apply the white powder as if it were a pale powder foundation. You can blend it more to fade the white color or you can add more layers if your face is still too dark.
(Or, you can buy a different brand foundation. Covergirl is pretty good for pale skin. So is Clinique).

Everyone Can Have Beautiful Pale Skin
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Womens Interest
Practically anyone can have beautiful pale skin, if they simply make an effort to avoid the sun. Everyone has some ?color?. But, it is exposure to UV rays from the sun that causes the color to darken, because of increased melanin production. You can reverse the process, if you want, with a few simple steps.
Limiting sun exposure is always the first step. Exposure to UV rays increases your risk of cancer, causes uneven pigmentation and contributes to a generally aged appearance. The underlying cause is free radical damage.
Free radicals are molecules naturally present in the cells of the body. One of their functions is to destroy invading pathogens, like bacteria. But, when exposed to UV rays, their behavior becomes frenzied. They start to attack the cellular membranes and eventually the DNA strands, which can mutate, causing the cell to become a cancer cell.
Researchers have found that as we age, the number of free radicals within the cells increase, while the number of antioxidants, which could neutralize them, decrease. It is essential that we correct that imbalance.
Limiting sun exposure is the first step to beautiful pale skin. Using antioxidant rich creams is the second. Although antioxidants do not have a direct lightening effect, they will reduce age spots, repair sun damage and even out pigmentation with regular use. The antioxidant to look for, because it has proven effectiveness, is coenzyme Q10.
The third step is to look for an antioxidant rich cream that also contains a protein called keratin. It has been shown to stimulate the production of new cells. If sun exposure is severely limited, the new cells will be lighter in color. Within 4 6 weeks, you should start to see a difference.
The fourth step for beautiful pale skin is to look for an antioxidant rich cream that contains the protein keratin and an ingredient called cyperus rotundus extract. Cyperus rotundus is a medicinal plant. The roots have been used for thousands of years to reduce irritation and inflammation, as well as to heal and fade bruises.
In modern times, the extracts have been marketed as anti irritants. Only recently was it discovered that the anti irritant inhibits melanin production by over 40 at a .5 concentration.
When you go shopping for a product, you must be careful to avoid creams containing hydroquinone. It also inhibits melanin production, but is accompanied by an increased cancer risk. You may want beautiful pale skin, but you certainly don?t want skin cancer.
Hydroquinone has been banned from cosmetics by countries in the European Union, but manufacturers in the US are still allowed to use it. It is a common ingredient in expensive age spot creams. Please be sure to avoid it.
There are many things that we may not be able to avoid, such as air pollution and toxins in the environment. But, we can easily avoid creams, lotions and other cosmetics that contain cancer causing agents and other toxins. We just need to be aware that they are there. Now that you know the secrets to beautiful pale skin, you might want to learn more about cosmetic ingredients to avoid. It?s worth your time.

Ulthera Receives First Ever FDA Clearance to Use Ultrasound Technology For Facial Aesthetic Improvement
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Womens Interest
Ulthera? Receives First Ever FDA Clearance to use Ultrasound Technology for Facial Aesthetic Improvement the non invasive brow lift and skin tightening device we have all been waiting for?..
The newly released Ulthera? device delivers non invasive skin tightening and brow lifts that may yield surgery like results without having to endure surgery. Sound too good to be true? It?s not. On September 16, 2009, the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently gave its nod to Ulthera?, a device that uses Ultrasound energy to provide a refreshed look around the eyes and tighter skin on the face in one easy treatment, without the need for downtime.
Ulthera? eyebrow lifts are just the tip of the cosmetic iceberg. Ulthera? technology is now being used to tighten and firm sagging skin in the mid and lower face, as well as other areas of the body outside of the U.S.
Here?s what you need to know now about Ulthera?.
Ulthera? is revolutionary
According to Mitchell Chasin, MD, Medical Director of Reflections center for skin and body?, Livingston and Bridgewater, New Jersey, ?Ulthera represents a unique approach to skin rejuvenation and is poised to revolutionize the Aesthetics industry. It?s not a laser or light based procedure. Instead, Ulthera uses ultrasonic sound waves to zero in on its target beneath the skin?s surface. The sound waves stimulate collagen growth, leading to lifting and tightening of the skin and a brow lift we have been unable to obtain without surgery?.
Ultrasound is a well understood and effective modality that has been used for many years in other fields of medicine, from obstetrics to physical therapy, from gastroenterology to orthopedics. Finally, it has arrived in the field of Cosmetic Medicine!
Ulthera? goes deep
Dr. Chasin explains, ?using ultrasound, we are not only able to deliver energy safely into the deepest layers of the skin where it is most effective, we can for the first time visualize the exact areas where we are treating (DeepSEE? technology). The process results in lifting and tightening of the skin, from the inside out?.
There is virtually no downtime with Ulthera?
Ulthera? goes deep, bypassing the upper skin layers during treatment, so other than some mild redness for the first half of an hour after treatment, there is no tell tale signs you?ve been treated. You can head back home or to the office without anyone being the wiser.
Ulthera? is color blind
Often times, people with darker skin types can?t use skin tightening lasers
due to risks of scarring and skin discoloration. Ulthera uses ultrasound technology that can be used on all types of skin complexions from the fairest to the darkest.
A comfortable treatment
Using carefully selected forms of topical anesthesia, the treatment will be comfortable. Dr. Chasin recommends that patients choose a doctor for their Ulthera? procedure who has experience using advanced lasers such as Fraxel re:pair?, Portrait plasma? or Thermage? and has dedicated their practice only to Cosmetic Medicine. The same principles of delivering a safe and well tolerated treatment apply here.
Ulthera?s results appear gradually, yet predictablywow
The sound waves trigger a natural healing process, which results in new collagen synthesis and progressive firming, tightening and lifting of your skin. You?ll see the results continue to improve for up to six months. If you want additional correction, Ulthera? therapy can be repeated after the initial six month period. And then, a once yearly maintenance treatment with Ulthera will do the trick.
This is an exciting development in facial rejuvenation, one that physicians in the know have spent the last few years waiting for. Now that it is finally FDA approved, expect to hear quite a bit about Ulthera? and Ultherapy? in the coming weeks and months. It might just be a game changer.
