			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being a teenager is a tough life. We need to worry with all of the endless problems, such as the school life, friendship, falling in love for the first time and much more. </p>
<p>I still remember that I was frustrated with the acne matter, as I’m the person that always has the cute and sweet face, suddenly turned into an ugly and hideous monster face, thanks to the acne! </p>
<p>My parents and elder friends always tell me that I cannot pick or even popping the acne, as this will getting worse! Well, I’m the stubborn person and I mostly ignored what they’ve told me. As a result, my acne problem has had turned into a nightmare! </p>
<p>After that, I was wondering is there any good organic skin care that I can use to get the acne disappear slowly. </p>
<p>Then, Michelle, a good friend of mine since 1st grade, has recommended me to use the Achemilla’s organic skin care products. </p>
<p>It does take time to make all my acne vanish from my face, but I still think it’s worth the time. Since then, I keep using the Achemilla’s organic skin care products, as I don’t want the acne to walk into my life again! </p>

<p>Water helps you get your <a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/tips-for-beautiful-hair.htm">hair shinier</a>, skin silky and helps you <a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/category/healty-lifestyle">stay healthy</a>, arguably the best beauty product.</p>
<p>Have you noticed that when you wash your hair at the salon, always rinse with cold water. This is because the shrinking temperature of the cuticle layers of your hair to have a smooth and shine.</p>
<p><strong>For your head: Shampoo and condition</strong></p>
<p>Much is said about how the sea water dries your hair, but there are elements of the ocean that are good for you by <a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/tag/nutrition">nutrient-rich water</a> brown seaweed cleansing, repairs and detangles. Try this combination:</p>
<p>- Depth Refresh Daily Shampoo cleans without drying, thanks to the hydrating seaweed extract of red algae in a base of purified water.</p>
<p><span id="more-509"></span>- Rusk Sea Kelp Conditioner Deepshine contains marine extracts such as kelp, to nourish and add shine. It also contains absorbers that protect your hair from UVB rays.</p>
<p><strong>Master your threads</strong></p>
<p>The showers in soft water leaves your hair more manageable because they contain less mineral salts that make your hair rough and prone to tangles. If your shower is hard water (high concentration of minerals like calcium and magnesium), install a shower filter that filters make your water soft. This will help your color last longer as well.</p>
<p><strong>Prevent damage</strong></p>
<p>It is generally known that chlorine and salt water can wreak havoc on your hair healthy. The solution is very easy, just rinse your head with a hose before having a swim you can prevent frizz when you leave the pool. The idea is that the fibers absorb water and clean water not harmful.</p>
<p><strong>Make waves</strong></p>
<p>Water is the best lotion style that exists. Each strand is composed of hydrogen bonds that are separated when wet. If you manipulate the texture of the hair while wet, these hydrogen bonds take the shape you want while they dry.</p>
<p>Wet hair with a spray bottle and divide it into four parts. Twist each section and fasten with a buckle. Let air dry or use the dryer for loose soft waves.</p>
<p><strong>Creates a lasting style</strong></p>
<p>Plant oils and other ingredients in conditioners help to detangle and provide smooth, but can make the hair more difficult to handle for waste. To avoid this, use a water based protective coating such as Shu Uemura Art of Hair Depsea Moisture Foundation unravel after, but before applying styling products. This layer absorbs waste and restores the moisture level in your hair for styling endures.</p>
<p><strong>For your eyes</strong></p>
<p>Cold packs help reduce swelling under the eyes, but you can get the same results with water. Splashing your face with water can help reduce inflammation temporarily. For a more lasting effect test an eye gel is rich in water Aqualia Antiox Vichy Anti-Fatigue Eye Stick with polifelones giving light.</p>
<p><strong>Firmly to your skin</strong></p>
<p>For centuries, Europeans have gone to public toilets (bathouses) to receive therapeutic baths to detoxify and firm the skin. The process consists of a session of steam opens the pores, followed by a dip in ice water to give a shock to the skin.</p>
<p>This treatment can do at home to wet a washcloth with hot water as you can handle, and place it on your face for a minute. Then wash your face with your favorite cleanser and rinse with warm water. Then rinse your face with cold water about 15 times. This will help reinvigorate your skin and give you strength.</p>
<p><strong>Smooth lines</strong></p>
<p>The wrinkles are less noticeable when skin cells are hydrated. Use a moisturizing lotion that attracts water to your skin cells as Olay Total Effects Plus Hydration Cooling.</p>
<p><strong>Add glow</strong></p>
<p>Hydrate skin from the inside will make it more radiant. It&#8217;s as simple as drink eight glasses of water daily.</p>
<p><strong>Tone your muscles</strong></p>
<p>The water is 12 times more resistant than air, so it takes more work to move under water. Water exercises will help tone your muscles much faster and with less pressure on your joints.</p>
<p><strong>Out Cellulite</strong></p>
<p>Losing weight improves the appearance of cellulite, but drinking enough water gives it an elastic your skin that helps to hide the orange peel. You can also hydrate consuming fruits and vegetables rich in water.</p>
<p><strong>Reduces anxiety</strong></p>
<p>Studies have found that listening to nature is a way to relieve stress, especially running water and waves. If you suffer from anxiety placing a tabletop fountain in your desktop or download music with sounds of the sea.</p>
<p><strong>Improve your sleep</strong></p>
<p>Give her a warm bath before bedtime helps you rest better at night.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Do not make a mistake by choosing a wrinkle cream is the same as your friends and look forward to similar results. Remember, a cream that works well for one woman may not bring dramatic results to the next.</p>
<p>New <a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/tag/anti-wrinkle-creams">wrinkle cream</a> developed and marketed every day. Everything looks promising improvement to wrinkles and skin texture. However, this cream uses different materials and technologies. Let&#8217;s check them to determine whether or not this cream is as effective as it claims to be. <span id="more-448"></span></p>
<p>Dermaxin currently leading wrinkle creams. Proprietary<a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/behind-anti-wrinkle-creams-formula.htm"> formula</a> combines ingredients that relax wrinkles and stimulate collagen production. Dermaxin users say they have had fewer wrinkles in just a month. Dermaxin makers also claim that their products can improve skin texture and enhance moisture retention by almost 50% in a single month. In clinical studies, test subjects displayed the five cell renewal and collagen production was marked when using Dermaxin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="padding: 5px;" src="http://pictures.directnews.co.uk/liveimages/skin+care+%5Bsquare%5D_554_18387104_0_0_7007684_300.jpg" alt="skin" width="200" height="250" />Two teams of British and Canadian scientists have <strong><a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/">created human cells directly from the skin</a></strong> of a patient, eliminating the need for embryos.</p>
<p>The results of the investigations of both teams, announced by the journal Nature, are an important step in the search for <strong><a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/category/health-care">safe treatments for the replacement of damaged tissue of any part of the body</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Properly handled by the scientists, skin cells take on <strong><a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/tag/health-care">the properties of stem cells</a></strong> from embryos normally so they can become any tissue in the body.</p>
<p>Previously it was only possible to create these induced pluripotent stem cells (initials in English: iPS) using viruses to insert four genes that perform the reprogramming.</p>
<p>But the modified virus DNA in the cells so that increased the risk of cancer, so the technique was too risky for use in human patients.</p>
<p>Another danger that existed was that the changes caused by genes would lead to developmental abnormalities.</p>
<p>But now, scientists have managed to avoid the use of viruses and remove genes once they have fulfilled their task.</p>
<p>British and Canadian teams were able to insert four genes into a single segment of DNA to carry out the necessary reprogramming and then removed before they could cause damage.</p>
<p><span id="more-344"></span></p>
<p>The technique, described in the Internet version of Nature, was carried out both in skin cells in people as laboratory mice.</p>
<p>Tests carried out indicate that the reprogrammed cells behave exactly like stem cells from embryos.</p>
<p>This allows scientists to think more seriously about the possibility of using this type of pluripotent cells to replace tissue in people suffering from diseases or as yet incurable.</p>
<p>These cells may eventually become brain cells, insulin-producing pancreatic cells in bone or cartilage, heart muscle or other tissue of the human body.</p>
<p>Coming from the cells of the patient&#8217;s own skin would be resolved step the problem of rejection.</p>
<p>The cells are much more versatile embryonic stem cells &#8220;adult&#8221;, which have limited application.</p>
<p>The two teams who have collaborated in this work are one of the Center for Regenerative Medicine at Edinburgh University, led by Keisuke Kaji, and a Canadian University of Toronto, led by Andras Nagy.</p>
<p>&#8220;This new method will advance the field of regenerative medicine and will help us to understand many diseases and to test new drugs,&#8221; said Dr. Kaji.</p>
<p>&#8220;It has taken a step toward the practical use of reprogrammed cells in medicine, perhaps eliminating the need to use human embryos to obtain stem cells,&#8221; added the expert.</p>
<p>The four genes needed to create the iPS cells are c-Myc, Klf4, Oct4 yXox.</p>
<p>As soon as these genes reprogrammed cells, the scientists removed before they could cause interference with other genes.</p>
<p>This problem is solved in turn Canadian scientists led by Dr. Nagy, who managed to remove genes without a trace.</p>
<p>The director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine of Medical Research Council UK, Ian Wilmut, warned that it will pass some time before they can be given to patients with the iPS cells, they need to develop a method capable of generating different types of cells from the skin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="padding: 5px;" src="http://www.younglivin.org.uk/sunbathing.jpg" alt="sunbathing" width="200" height="250" />Knowing how long you can spend in the sun, without running <strong><a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/category/cancer">the risk of ultraviolet rays damage the skin</a></strong>, it is now possible thanks to a system that calculates <strong><a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/category/skin-care">the appropriate period of exposure to solar radiation</a></strong>, according to the skin of each person and the place where you are.</p>
<p>With this invention seeks to reduce <strong><a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/category/health-info">the incidence of skin cancer</a></strong>. &#8220;The software determines the maximum recommended exposure to solar UV radiation, including the use of protective creams for people with different skin types displayed at any time and day of the year,&#8221; he told EFE Ruben Piacentini, director of Institute of Physics of the Argentina&#8217;s Rosario city (IFIR), which developed the project.</p>
<p>According to Argentine newspaper Infobae, the system can be installed on any computer and was created with the collaboration of researchers from the University of Innsbruck, Austria, Argentina and the Foundation Skin Cancer.</p>
<p><strong>How to use</strong></p>
<p>For information, the user must enter your skin type, the kind of surface you are (sand, water or cement), time of day and geographic location in which you, as the height or snow can increase the risk of radiation by 60 percent.<br />
Sunbathing die trying</p>
<p><span id="more-336"></span></p>
<p>The software was designed to calculate the data anywhere in Argentina, although &#8220;you can develop a similar application for another country or region, with the right information,&#8221; says Piacentini.</p>
<p>In fact, IFIR has already started negotiations with regional governments and organizations in Ecuador and Brazil to implement the program called UVARG (software for predicting sun exposure in Argentina).</p>
<p>Advantage</p>
<p>&#8220;The software allows us to know instantly and in real time the danger of ultraviolet radiation, but also can be predicted months in advance what will be the risk, making it a useful tool to plan vacations to any destination&#8221; said the scientist.</p>
<p>Another use would be for employees who perform abroad, because the system tells them what protections they should take.</p>
<p>The system also alerts &#8220;on special situations such as the development of the ozone hole or about significant changes in the average value of this layer in future years,&#8221; says Piacentini.</p>
<p>The scientists who developed this software tool say that if people respect the times suggested sun exposure reduces the risk of diseases like skin cancer.</p>
<p>Today this evil is the most common cancers and the number of cases is growing at a rate of 5 percent annually, according to international statistics.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, in Argentina each year 600 people die from the disease and are detected 1400 new cases, according to the Sociedad Argentina de Dermatología (SAD).</p>

Occurs when the body receives more energy (heat, chemical or electrical) than it can absorb without injury.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org">A severe burn</a></strong> can be life threatening and requires immediate medical attention. <strong><a href="http://www.outfrontseattle.org/tag/health-care">The severity of the burn</a></strong> depends on the temperature of the medium that caused and duration of exposure. They are primarily skin lesions, but sometimes affects other organs like lungs, heart, kidneys, etc.</p>
<p>The severity of burns is determined by five factors:</p>
<p>Depth of burn: 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade.<br />
Extent of burn: Percentage of body area affected.<br />
Condition critical regions: Hands, feet, face and genitals.<br />
Patient age: Under 2 years old or very old.<br />

<p>Burns may be first, second or third degree according to the layers of skin and depth of the damaged tissues.</p>
<p>Is considered first-degree burn that hurts the most superficial layer of the skin. The burn is usually caused by excessive exposure to sunlight. Symptoms include skin redness or erythema, dry skin, intense burning pain, swelling and tenderness discrete affected area.</p>
<p>The second-degree burns are those in which the superficial and intermediate layers of skin are injured. The characteristic symptom is the appearance of blisters. There is intense pain and swelling of the inflamed area.</p>
<p>In third-degree burns are affected all layers of the skin and underlying tissues such as muscles, nerves, tendons and blood vessels may reach the bone. This type of burn is caused by prolonged contact with heat, electricity or caustic elements. The appearance of the skin is stiff in these cases, completely dry and there is pain due to the destruction of the nerve endings. It always requires medical attention early, but the injury is not very extensive.</p>
<p>Apart from this classification are considered serious burns all those who:</p>
<p>Make breathing difficult.<br />
Those located in the head, neck, hands, feet or genitals.<br />
Those that affect children under 2 years or older.<br />
All injuries that include third grade.<br />
Those that affect more than 15% body surface area.<br />
Those that are associated with major trauma.</p>
<p>Any severe burn can be fatal, this requires medical attention as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Treatment</p>
<p>First we have to reassure the victim and her family. Assess the type and severity of burn. You have to cool the burned area for several minutes. It can be done by applying a saline solution or cold water (not ice) on the injury. Do not use ice to cool the burned area or apply creams or ointments because they may interfere with subsequent measurement, and medical treatment. Cover the burned area with a bandage or a moist saline solution or cold water clean and secure with a bandage to prevent contamination of the injury.</p>
<p>If they occur in hands or feet, put gauze between the fingers before putting the band. If a victim is conscious and complained of pain is an analgesic and plenty of fluids (oral rehydration salts if possible, to replace losses of water and electrolytes). In any case the patient was transferred to a hospital. When the burns are serious, the victim is unconscious, not breathing and no pulse is to start CPR immediately and seek urgent medical help.</p>
<p>Already at the medical center will be held the general treatment with analgesia and sedation if necessary, referral to an intravenous intake of fluids and electrolytes needed and local treatment of burn consisting of the washing, shaving areas Hairy (with hair), dried with sterile dressings and surgical resection of blisters and necrotic tissues. Once this is decided what type of treatment applied, cure or occlusive exposed.</p>
<p>During the first 72 hours is necessary to monitor vital signs (pulse, blood pressure, temperature, respiratory function), water balance (revenues of fluids and urine output) and perform some additional tests such as hematocrit (red blood cells), protein (protein ), electrolytes (ions), chest radiograph and electrocardiogram.</p>
<p>Prognosis and complications</p>
<p>The prognosis of burns depends on the location and degree of the same, the extent of body surface affected and the existence of aggravating factors such as age, associated injuries and comorbid diseases such as diabetes, kidney failure, AIDS or other immunosuppressive diseases (which reduce the defenses). The most common complication of burns are localized or generalized infection.</p>
