			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sensé beautiful science skin-care products offer an innovative approach to skin care. With groundbreaking, patented <a href="http://www.usana.com/dotCom/sense/science_self">Self-Preserving Technology</a>, Sensé products contain no added chemical preservatives—meaning they stay fresh naturally—so they are more gentle and healthy for even the most sensitive skin. Our skin-care specialists have carefully formulated <a href="http://www.usana.com/dotCom/sense/science">exclusive antioxidant complexes</a> in every product using ingredients proven to revitalize skin cells, leaving skin looking younger and more radiant.</p>
<p>Your skin is the last organ to receive nutrients from the body and often the first to show signs of nutritional deficiency, imbalance, or the unhealthy effects of free radicals. True health and beauty requires a synergy of internal and external nutrition, as well as protection from the environment and oxidative damage, which can accelerate the appearance of sagging and wrinkling.</p>
<p>Developed by USANA Health Sciences, Sensé products are formulated to properly nourish and hydrate your skin’s cells. The Sensé <a href="http://www.usana.com/dotCom/sense/regimen">beauty regimen</a> is designed to be a comprehensive approach to skin and hair care that takes into account the nutritional needs of both the skin and body. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can get a variety of professional skin care products just about anywhere these days.  It used to be that you were limited to only the selection of products at your local spa, but now there are quality skin care products at the pharmacy or health store, along with a number of outlets online.  You no longer have to pay expensive spa fees just to get the products you need.</p>
<p>Along with the expanded choice of retailers, there is a vast array of professional skin care products available.  You can choose an entire product line to cover all of your personal care needs or just select single products as you need them.  There are also more organic and natural beauty products on the market now than ever before, so you do not have to use chemical-based skin care products.  Some products have blended the natural with some synthetic substances, trying to avoid using the most toxic chemicals.</p>
<p>Many of these products can be purchased over the counter with no prescription, but some of the stronger items may require a prescription from a dermatologist.  These products are usually a stronger concentration that is meant only for certain skin problems.  They must be restricted because they may cause damage to people who do not have that particular condition.  Some of the more common prescription products are used to treat acne, discoloration, and premature aging.</p>
<p>Of course, if you do need a prescription product, you will have to make an appointment with a dermatologist.  A qualified dermatologist is the best person to decide if you have a severe enough skin condition to warrant treatment with professional skin care products.  If he does determine that you have a problem, the dermatologist can suggest certain products that will be best suited for that specific skin condition.  The doctor can also advise you on the safe use of all cosmetic products, including warnings specific to pregnant women.</p>
<p>Any professional skin care product you buy should come with an instruction booklet and warnings.  A good dermatologist will also verbally warn you of any side effect and should explain how to use the product correctly.  Always follow the doctor&#8217;s instructions or ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about how the product should be used or how much to use.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-102" style="margin: 8px;" title="soap" src="http://www.21staps.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/soap-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />Although all professional skin care products come with their own instruction leaflets, your dermatologist should be able to verbally repeat product instructions and warnings. A good doctor will always warn you if you should expect some side effects. He can also tell you exactly how to safely get the most out of your product.  You should also check with your doctor to make sure there are no adverse reactions with any other medications or products you are currently using.</p>
<p>The expansion of the skin care industry has brought many high-end products to the consumer.  You may now be able to find your skin care solution without having to see the dermatologist.  Of course, be careful when purchasing your own products without a doctor&#8217;s guidance as there may be side effects or interactions.  Always do your research to make sure you are getting the right type of professional skin care products.</p>

Relax! Thanks to the advances in acne anti aging skin care treatments there is a skin care product or actual medical treatment to help you. However, you and I need to know a few things before we can choose the right skin care treatment.</p>
<p>As a matter of course, before you or I even think about what product or type of treatment we are going to employ, we should always consult a qualified professional first. Obviously, the well trained and licensed physician can advise us as to what our actual skin problems are. Many times we may find out that we have an underlying health condition, such as a thyroid problem or other condition, causing our skin to age faster than normal. Obviously, treating the medical problem would be the very first step in our battle; to stop the premature aging of our skin. In addition to ruling out a medical condition, there are a few other things our doctor will be able to fill us in on.</p>
<p>One of the first things we need to know is that, as in many other things, female and male skin is different. Big surprise! Right? As an example a man&#8217;s face, when treating over exposure to the sun, wind and other environmental hazards, needs a skin care moisturizer which contains vitamin B5. Many of today&#8217;s dermatologists also recommend creams with a combination of witch hazel and B5.</p>
<p>However, because the fairer sex, have other problems with their skin, than the old rugged male, women only need B5 in their acne anti aging skin care battle. But it really helps both men and women, to kick their skin care battle up a notch, to include lotions and moisturizer creams with vitamins such as coenzyme Q10. In addition there are many other ingredientís found in today&#8217;s moisturizer creams and lotions.</p>
<p>A great many of the over the counter lotions and moisturizer creams contain an ingredient known as petrolatum. Emphasis on the petro! Because it is so common many of us have used it for years and guess what? Yep! You guessed it. It may cause our skin to age that much faster. Studies which have been conducted, over the years, by well qualified skin specialist; bear this theory out. One of the easiest and simplest things to do in our acne anti aging skin care treatment; is to avoid the products which contain petrolatum.  But we need to remember there are other chemical and preservatives which should be avoided.</p>
<p>We should take the time to read every label on every bottle and tube of skin treatment products. However you and I know, we normally canít spell many of the ingredients listed, much less pronounce them or know what they mean. Here</p>
<p>s a little tip, a science teacher friend of mine gave me. If the word is about 2 inches long, chances are it is a chemical compound which is not natural to our body. Avoid it!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy for us to understand there is more to simple, safe acne anti aging skin care than just using any old cream or moisturizer. It will pay for us to gain as much knowledge as we can; to keep us from looking old before our time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.21staps.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/kiwi.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-94" title="kiwi" src="http://www.21staps.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/kiwi-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>All natural beauty is something many women want but few know they have.  Instead, they get expensive surgeries done, literally risking their lives in the pursuit of a beauty standard that is not only unrealistic but is completely unreal.  They use beauty products that damage their skin and hair and ultimately wind up in landfills when they donít have the promised effects.  Women are hurting themselves and the environment all in an effort to be beautiful.</p>
<p>Fortunately, there are many different ways women can achieve the all natural beauty that they so desperately want and deserve.  Some of these ways are exceptionally easy to incorporate into a womanís everyday life.  Some of them may be a little bit trickier for some to get used to doing everyday but once fitted into a womanís daily habits, they will be easy to maintain for a lifetime.</p>
<p>The first step to all natural beauty is to stop idolizing the models you see in magazines or on billboards.  Stop looking to female celebrities and comparing yourself to them.  Nearly all advertisements in magazines, billboards, even head shots used in portfolios, have been touched up in one way or another digitally to get rid of wrinkles, acne, or other unsightly blemishes.  No woman can ever live up to how a model looks in a photo because the photo simply isnít real.</p>
<p>Next, women everywhere need to realize how beautiful they already are.  Everyone has flaws or imperfections that they donít like about themselves; even models and celebrities.  You need to quit focusing on where you think you donít measure up and instead focus on things you like about yourself.  For some women, finding things they appreciate about themselves can be a difficult task.  Recruit friends and loved ones to tell you what they like about you.  You donít have to restrict yourself to looks, either.</p>
<p>Which leads to the next truth about all natural beauty: it comes from within.  It may sound very clichÈ but the phrase has existed for a long time for a reason.  Beautiful personalities, feeling confident in yourself without being cocky, helping others, and honestly caring for those around you will make you a truly beautiful person.  People with picture perfect bodies but who have ugly hearts and souls may lead a charmed life on the outside but on the inside; things arenít as lovely.</p>
<p>Because they are so mean and hurtful to those around them, they drive people away from them, and wind up alone in the end.<br />
Surround yourself with people that are truly beautiful from the inside and you will not only be happier but youíll stop turning to a Hollywood standard that even models and celebrities canít live up to.  Donít be tempted to turn into a plastic person through plastic surgery or other extreme measures in order to be a fantasy version of someone who doesnít know you exist.  The truth about all natural beauty is in understanding the beauty within.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.21staps.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/face.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-96" style="margin: 8px;" title="face" src="http://www.21staps.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/face-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>Natural skin care products may be the answer if you are concerned about the chemicals in most commercial cosmetic products.  Some of these chemicals may be toxic enough to actually accelerate the aging process, which is the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish with your skin care.  Even in these days of increased regulation and consumer watchdog groups, there are a number of new products introduced each year that still contain damaging chemicals.</p>
<p>Almost nine hundred toxic chemicals have been found in commercial cosmetic products by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.  The Cancer Coalition has stated that cosmetic and personal care products pose a higher threat of cancer than even smoking cigarettes.  Compounding the problem is the vast amount of incorrect information distributed by marketing departments to attract new customers.</p>
<p>Everything that you put on the surface of your skin is absorbed into the pores and gets into the bloodstream.  The circulation of the blood distributes the toxins throughout the entire body, causing damage to internal organs as well as the skin.  Since all of these products enter your body, you should analyze the labels on your cosmetic products the same way you would with labels on food.  Of course, choosing only natural skin care products eliminates the problem of toxins altogether.</p>
<p>Once the toxins get into your bloodstream, it forces your body to work much harder than usual in an effort to get rid of them.  The liver is responsible for most of this clean up, but it can only handle so much before health problems will set in.  The liver is a key part of the body&#8217;s immune system and should be treated with care.  Liver problems can cause major health issues such as auto-immune diseases, asthma, continual infections, and allergies.</p>
<p>Using natural ingredients can avoid these toxicity problems.  The body recognizes natural skin care products as organic matter to be processed, not as a toxic threat that must be eliminated.  Many of these products are made out of plant matter which contains the same basic vitamins and minerals as the ones already present in our bodies.  Synthetic chemicals may be seen by the body as toxic and the immune system will react against them.</p>
<p>You can exfoliate with a gentle material such as crushed oatmeal, table sugar, or baking soda.  Make exfoliating a regular part of your daily skin care routine and you will see much more life and bounce in your appearance.  Other natural substances that may be useful for skin care include honey, egg whites, olive oil, bananas, and avocado.  Be creative and use of some of the common items you have in your kitchen to give you softer, smoother skin.</p>
<p>How do you know which natural skin care products are actually safe?  Some products are labeled as &#8220;100% natural&#8221; when they still contain chemicals and toxins.  The only way to be completely sure is to look at the list of ingredients on the package.  Dyes, fragrances, and synthetic preservatives can all be found in these &#8220;natural&#8221; skin care products.</p>
