Eat your water…sounds funny…but true. There are many great foods with high water content.
The Water Secret, a new book by Dr Murad, is set to make a splash in the field of anti-aging lit. As Copley reports in her review for Truth In Slimming, he hones in on one strategy in particular, which – in case the title isn’t clear enough – centers on soaking up H2O.
What really interested me is that The Water Secret contends that moisture at the cellular level cannot be replenished by downing the recommended 8-10 glasses a day, which does nothing more than fill up your bladder and swell up your body. I remembered a post that I did a while ago on the fact that scientists were at best divided on the benefits of drinking water for the skin. Intriguingly, Murad’s advice is rather than drink water, we should “eat” it.
Our cells need 23 grams of water to neutralize every excess gram of salt we eat (hence the phenomenon of bloating). Skipping the salt and loading up on foods with high water content can boost both health and hydration, making you feel energized. Unlike pure water, the liquid in these foods is surrounded by molecules that help it get into cells quickly.
Some recommended water-rich foods include watermelon and cucumbers (97% water), tomatoes and zucchini (95% water), cooked chicken breast (65%), and boiled red kidney beans (77%).
For Murad on water and weight loss, check out Copley’s full review.

Thanks to Truth in Aging, I have had the wonderful chance to review two Avon products: Avon Anew Reversalist Day Renewal Cream and the Reversalist Illuminating Eye System. Although it has taken me quite a while to get through the two entire jars (sorry for taking so long!), I wanted to make sure I gave the products enough time to do what they say they can.
I am 35 and have a variety of skin issues, but overall, I have become happier with my skin over the past few years due to a diligent skin care routine and a couple of photo-facial treatments (IPL). I live in Florida and grew up sans sunscreen – which means that I have a good deal of sun damage and the problems that go along with it. I also have very oily skin and occasional eczema that likes to pop up randomly in strange places on my face (yuck!). So, I am always on the hunt for a daily moisturizer that multitasks with some SPF, anti-aging ingredients, and light coverage, without causing my skin to flare up or become irritated. My skincare routing consists of my beloved Clarisonic, a cleanser, a serum, an eye cream, and a daily moisturizer with sun protection. For this review, I dropped my other products so I could devote my full attention to the results that these products could provide.
First of all, I am not a huge fan of jars because of the potential for contamination if you are not careful, drying out, less fresh, etc. Both products came in jars, the day cream in a pretty, heavy glass jar and the eye treatment in a small two-in-one jar (a cream and an illuminator that flips open on top).
To start off with the day cream, I fell in love with the texture right away. It’s fluffy and creamy and light and smells wonderful. My skin felt luxuriously soft, although I did apply very lightly for fear of getting breakouts (perhaps why it took me months to finish the products!). The cream has some illuminating ingredients, and the skeptic in me always wonders if that is a ruse to distract users from an otherwise ineffective product. Although, I do love the effect that the light diffusers can have as long as it’s subtle (no need for the gilded look). Overall, I loved the moisture that the cream provided and I love multitasking my skin cream with SPF. After a couple of weeks, I did notice that my skin looked slightly brighter, although the effect was subtle. I didn’t notice a great deal of change in any of the wrinkles on my face, just an overall softer and slightly brighter look. In the end, I liked the cream for the moisturizing properties and the SPF, but could not say that it significantly affected my wrinkles.
I had nearly the same experience with the eye cream, which consisted of a jar of cream and the “sheer veil” which was in a pop-up container on the eye cream. I liked the moisturizing effects of the eye cream. The option to top the cream with the light-diffusing and slightly concealing sheer veil was nice, and I found myself using that from time to time to cover up my dark circles. My dark circles were a little better after using the entire product, but not much difference in my crow’s feet.
Overall, both products were fun to try out, smelled great and gave my skin a moisturized and slightly brighter look. Not much wrinkle reduction, but if you are just looking for a light moisturizer with some SPF, or a moisturizing, temporarily brightening eye cream, than you might like these AVON products.

Promoting a cosmetic surgery practice can be as simple as offering discounts for common procedures or focusing on how to develop a niche following. While the first might provide you immediate business (albeit at a discount) developing a niche market will provide a stronger and long lived revenue base. One niche option to consider is post pregnancy.
Though some women are blessed with forgiving genetics, many women who give birth have the after effects of stretch marks, extra skin, and less than perky breasts. Genetics are just there, and no matter how hard some women “work” to get their body back to what it was, only a form of plastic surgery
can help them.
Plastic surgery is often talked about in a derogatory way in the media because of individuals using it to drastically increase their cup size, or change their facial features to look like a celebrity. Plastic surgery in general, if used in an appropriate way, can be a very useful tool to help individuals attain the body they are trying to achieve.
After giving birth, many women are left with extra skin that is left from the stretching of the stomach. Even if the woman works hard to get her body back into the same shape and size it was before her pregnancy, sometimes the skin will not conform back to the body because there is simply too much of it.
This leaves women with sagging skin in the tummy area, and makes them self-conscious about the way they look; especially in a swimsuit. A tummy tuck can remove that extra skin and allow the woman to show off the body that is underneath the extra skin.
Some women also have love handles on their hips that no amount of crunches will ever get rid of. Again, it is extra fat that never went away after giving birth. Liposuction can remove that extra fat that just won’t go away, and allow women to feel more comfortable with their body after being
pregnant.
These left over effects on the tummy area can also be taken care of through body conforming techniques, which remove the fat and places the skin on the body so it lays in way that is pleasing to the woman.
The many women out there who breast fed their child know that after, their breasts were never the same. Feeding the baby meant a lot of milk was filling her breasts, and stretching them; but after the milk is gone, the breasts are left with extra skin and less lift.
Plastic surgery in the form of breast augmentation can help women return to their previous body, pre-pregnancy. This procedure, again, is used to bring the body back to where it would have been had genetics not played such a large role in the way the body reacts to a pregnancy.
Plastic surgery procedures are a useful aid for women wanting their body to be just as attractive after a pregnancy, as it was prior. Liposuction, tummy tucks, and breast augmentations can allow women to feel better about their body, and not be so terrified of the after-effects of having a
baby.
Though plastic surgery can be used as an aid for post-pregnancy women who want to get their body back to where it was, there are many more procedures available to increase the size of certain areas of the body.
Breast augmentation can also be used to increase the cup size of women wanting to have a more busty upper half. Botox can be used to increase the size or lift of an individual’s back-end.
Injectable fillers can be used in a variety of areas, typically on the face. Many women are wanting fuller lips, and receive injectable fillers to make them more plump. Fillers can also be used to reduce wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, and on the forehead.
A procedure growing in popularity is laser hair removal. Many women no longer want to spend their time shaving their legs or underarms, and no longer want to wax their bikini area or upper lip. To fix this problem they can receive laser hair removal, which stops the hair growth, and after several treatments, the hair stops growing altogether.
Many men also are turning to laser hair removal to get rid of unwanted hair on their chest, back, ears, and face. The various forms and uses of plastic surgery can help many people get the body they want.

Here’s a great night cream
Since night is the time our bodies heal and replenish as we sleep, it also is an opportune time for application of skin products to reap their benefits. For me the problem has always been that many products designed for night application were just too thick and heavy for my skin. So I’ve long ago skipped the creams and usually opted for lighter serums in their place. Granted, I still am sold on the way serums work with my skin, but the lure of a night cream with an interesting ingredient was too much for me to resist trying.
Although I’ve heard of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Pure Skin Night Cream is the first product containing it that I’ve had the opportunity to try. The Pure Skin website describes EGF as a “polypeptide growth factor which stimulates proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells. This growth factor contains 53 amino acid residues which can work to remodel the skin without the irritation of retinoids or low pH acids.” Other key active ingredients listed are SYN-COLL and hyaluronic acid. Also listed are several botanical extracts including arnica montana, elder flower, ivy, marshmallow flower, and black willow bark, known for their various soothing, anti-inflammatory, and astringent properties, to name a few.
I was pleased with the consistency as it was more like a lotion than a cream, and found it to absorb well without leaving the skin feeling greasy like some night creams can. The immediate results I noticed was waking up to moisturized (not greasy), well hydrated skin that remained so throughout the day. As my use progressed I have also noticed my skin tone is plumped up a bit and firmer with fine lines becoming slightly less noticeable and (although not bad to begin with), even my neck seems to have benefitted and appears to have better tone. This also has a light cucumber fragrance, which I did not find objectionable. With continued use, I have seen improvement in my skin and would recommend this product. Additionally, a little bit goes a long way which is always a bonus – used nightly on the face and entire neck for about a month, the 1.7 oz ($65) screw top jar is still half full. (I excluded the forehead and nose, as these are my problem areas that might get clogged pores or break out.)
Ingredients
Thermal water, sunflower seed oil, hyaluronic acid, octyl palmitate, glycery stearate, peg-100 stearate, stearic acid, dimethicone, palmitoyl tripeptide-3, cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, ceteareth 20, propylene glycol, triethanolamine, epidermal growth factor, EDTA, imidazolidinyl urea, methylpropylparaben, vitamin E, pellitory extract, ivy extract, arnica extract, elder flower extract, marshmallow extract, black willow bark extract, fragrance.

Dermatologists and dermatology practices need to read the contradictory evidence about retinyl palmitate. Nothing could be worse for your practice’s success than to be responsible for marketing of incorrect information.
The American Association of Dermatology (AAD) has just issued a statement saying that “no evidence that the inclusion of retinyl palmitate in sunscreens can cause cancer in humans”.
This conclusion was made by a team led by Steven Q. Wang, MD, FAAD, director of dermatologic surgery at Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York after looking at data from various studies conducted since 2002.
Concerns about retinyl palmitate in sunscreen were ignited by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), which earlier this year said that when retinyl palmitate is exposed to UVA radiation, it can result in the generation of harmful free radicals. Since 2002, there have been eight in vitro (test tube) studies using mouse lymphoma cell and human skin Jurkat T-cell cultures demonstrating that retinyl palmitate can produce free radicals, which can disrupt cell function.
Dr Wang’s rebuttal of the EWG concerns is based on three things: the studies were conduction on animals, not humans; the mice (according to Wang) are “highly susceptible to the effects of UV radiation and can develop skin cancer or other skin abnormalities within weeks of UV exposure, even in the absence of retinyl palmitate”; and in the studies retinyl palmitate was used on its own, not with other antioxidants.
At this stage, I don’t feel that the AAD or the EWG make a watertight case one way or the other. The FDA has still not published its own assessment of the available research data.

Is there a need for professional grade shampoos. Certainly not when these sub $10 products hit your scalp.
The gauntlet was thrown by Sarah, who sent me an email asking me to track down the best shampoos for under $10. Plus she qualified it by saying organic. I interpreted this to be mostly natural. Predictably, I spent a depressing afternoon wading through complete rubbish masquerading as “natural shampoo”. Happily, though I tracked down some shampoos for less than $10 that look pretty good and I even encountered a new brand (new to me, I mean) called Bentley Organic.
At $8.99 Bentley Organic’s mostly organic shampoo looks worth testing out (note, the only one of these shampoo picks that I have actually used is Burt’s Bees). I like that Bentley contains passion flower extract, a good source of chrysin that is supposed to thicken hair.
Although I haven’t tried Whenever Shampoo ($7.95), I am a regular user of Kiss My Face’s toothpaste. Organic herbs associated with hair and scalp health reside with mild cleansing ingredients such as olefin sulfonate and coco betaine. Plus there’s absolutely nothing not to like.
Yes To Carrots Pampering Carrot Juice Shampoo ($8.99) is, of course, no brainer. Not only does it harvest ingredients organically, it manages to pack in an awful lot of hard working botanical alongside its ubiquitous carrots and Dead Sea water. Value for money-wise, Yes To is hard to beat. Except that is by Burt’s Bees, whose Volumizing Shampoo ($8.88) lives up to its promise and majors on antioxidant pomegranate.
Two brands that I think have just got better in the last couple of years are Jason’s and Giovanni. Jason’s Earth’s Best shampoo ($8) has oat kernel, chamomile and vitamins E and B. There’s sodium benzoate, but its otherwise pretty clean. Although Giovanni Golden Wheat Shampoo ($7.95) doesn’t really have much to do with wheat, I wouldn’t hold that against it as it does have organic ingredients including horsetail, eucalyptus, birch and rosemary.
A while ago, Juice Organics Pomagranate Shampoo ($7.28) made it into our Five Best shampoos and then somehow went off our radar. Our reviewer said that it has a nice smell, works up a good lather and cleans without stripping. It is packed full of antioxidants in the forms of aloe, grape, soy protein and, of course pomegranate. Plus there are amino acids and fatty acids.
Do let us know if you’ve tried any of them.

Seems to make sense that if reducing catalase levels is the cause to graying hair, then creating a catalase based product would add the gray back to your hair. If that’s the case, then adding hair to products should help with balding…hmmmm.
Last year, we reported that British researchers had got to the root of gray hair. Their breakthrough was to figure out that gray hair is the result of low levels of something called catalase. So it was only going to be a matter of time before someone would latch on to this and come up with a catalase replenishing product. Enter Go Away Gray ($24.99), a catalase pill that claims to drive away gray.
Graying hair starts when there is a dip in levels of an enzyme called catalase. This enzyme is super useful in that it is the catalyst that turns hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, which is naturally occurring but builds up over time. If there is insufficient catalase to do its job then the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide turns the hairs gray.
The problem witn catalase supplements, is that they are unlikely to get much further than the intestine, where they will be digested before doing any good. And if the reviews on Amazon.com are anything to go by, Go Away Gray is not the new black.
Undeterred, Go Away Gray has reportedly offered Anderson Cooper $1 million to try the supplements. Which has to be the biggest waste of a PR budget I’ve heard of. If anyone should stay gray its Anderson Cooper.
Ingredients:
Vitamin B-6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride) – 10 mg, Folic Acid – 400 mcg, Biotin – 300 mcg, Pantothenic Acid (as calcium pantothenate) – 300 mg, Zinc (oxide) – 10 mg, Catalase – 5000 iu, Horsetail (7% extract) – 100 mg, Saw Palmetto (40-45% extract) – 300 mg, PABA (para-Aminobenzoic Acid) – 200 mg, L-Tyrosine – 200 mg, Plant Sterols (45% beta-sitosterol) – 100 mg, Nettle Root Extract – 100 mg, Chlorophyll – 10 mg, Fo Ti (powder) – 10 mg, Barley Grass – 10 mg.

Didn’t look all that bad to begin with, but I’ll let you decide.
Gina Gershon is one of those celebrities I never paid attention to until I saw her recently and was surprised at how different she looks now compared to when she hit it big in the movie Showgirls (1995). Every facial feature that made her unique has been tinkered with – eyes, nose, lips, etc.
