How To Make Hair Straightening Simpler
Getting rid of the frizz should not leave you frazzled. Although a recent Gallup poll found that 60 percent of women define their hair as curly, wavy or unmanageable, the latest products mean you don't have to settle for less than desirable locks-especially when the look you want is a smooth, pin-straight style. What's more, you don't have to spend a lot of time or money to achieve that look. Using a blow-dryer and flat-iron only achieves temporary results. You can break up with your blow-dryer and flat-iron, allow your hair some R&R and still look fabulous.

But by any other name, cellulite-and its many forms of treatment-is big business and highly controversial. Why? Because an antidote for the unsightly bumps and unevenness it imparts on the skin, especially on buttocks, hips and thighs, remains elusive despite the surplus of products out there. That might be about to change, but in the meantime, what is the backstory on that dimpled-demon?

You Can Repair Skin Damage From Youthful Mistakes
As the saying goes, everyone has a past. For many in their 30s and 40s, being hip or cool as a teen or young adult meant getting a tattoo, having multiple body piercings or spending too much time in the sun trying for that perfect tan. But years later, those tattoos and piercings may not be appropriate in the workplace or in more conservative social circles and the ravages of excessive sun exposure can cause unsightly skin damage and greatly elevate your risk for skin cancer.
For unwanted tattoos, piercings and sun-damaged skin, dermasurgeons offer effective restorative procedures. However, the outcomes of tattoo removal procedures can vary depending on the size and colors of the tattoos, according to Rhoda S. Narins, MD, president of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, "Large multicolored ones are difficult to remove and often require multiple treatments."
