Today, saying that the beauty industry has a diversity problem is a drastic understatement. While there have been many reports and opinion pieces that have addressed this issue, many of the world’s largest beauty companies still do not offer a variety of deep shades for darker skin tones, although numerous fair shades are produced and sold in stores.
The industry’s inability to quickly change in a seamless way has encouraged social media icons to utilize their platforms (whether it’d be Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) in hopes of implementing diversity and inclusivity within the beauty community.
Social media is an incredibly powerful way to reach a broad and diverse audience. Although each and every person can take a liking to their own individual things, it is almost impossible for anyone to scroll past a celebrity’s posts. Most of the time, they are advertising or discussing a global issue, which is something that has unified society and given birth to communities that have empowered their members to become catalysts for change.
The hashtag, #blackgirlmagic, which has been trending on social media, has been used close to two million times by strong, intelligent colored women as a way to show how loud and proud they are of their heritage and culture. The phrase, coined by CaShawn Thompson, started as a way to counteract negativity, and is now a full-blown movement.

According to allure.com, Kristen Brown, the founder of Gold Label Cosmetics, points out that “Tumblr and Instagram have hundreds of beauty accounts showcasing Black women where the reposting of a selfie or a gorgeous hairstyle goes viral in less than an hour. Many social media posts, where women of color are shown, you will see comments that compliment their beautiful skin and features.”
Historically, this community hasn’t had a place where they could vocalize their beauty frustrations, but this is no longer the case. They are now able to connect with like-minded individuals, thanks to social media, who also want to celebrate their beauty both inside and out.
“Black women are tired of pleading with big brands to include them and are tired of being overlooked,” says AJ Crimson, founder of AJ Crimson Beauty, a makeup brand that strives to be inclusive of all ethnicities. “She understands her power as a consumer and she is demanding to be serviced, and social media has publicly forced many companies and influencers to listen to these women and take action to be all-inclusive or she is taking her Black dollars elsewhere.”
Black women spend a staggering $7.5 billion annually on beauty products, but spend twice as much on skin-care products and 80% more on cosmetics than everyone else. So if that’s the case, shouldn’t they be treated as equally as fair-skinned women, who actually acquire less makeup and skincare?
Not only does social media strive to bring awareness to the issue of women of color in the beauty industry, but it also highlights acceptance within the LGBTQ communities as well.
Male makeup artists, such as James Charles, Jeffree Star, and Manny Gutierrez are helping to re-define the cosmetics industry as one that is open to everyone, not just women and their social media followers. By uploading unique and creative content to their Youtube channels and Instagrams, their broad fan bases feel inspired to follow in their footsteps by advocating for change and acceptance as well.

James Charles was named the first male CoverGirl, which was a huge step in the right direction for the beauty industry. CoverGirl said in their selection statement, “All of our CoverGirls are role models and boundary-breakers, fearlessly expressing themselves, standing up for what they believe, and redefining what it means to be beautiful. James Charles is no exception. One year ago, he boldly chose to launch his Instagram to the world, using transformative, dynamic makeup looks to showcase the many facets of his personality, serving as an inspiration to anyone who might have been afraid to do the same.”

Throughout the years, we have seen just how big of an impact social media has made on the beauty community, despite the various negativity associated with it. It is important, as followers of social media influencers, to pass along their message of acceptance so that we can create a world that is comfortable and kind to everyone, no matter their race or gender.


The Nu-Mesh technique allows to greatly improve the appearance of at least 3 high-demand areas: Lips, Neck and Cheeks.
The EZ-Lip Fill, EZ-Neck Mesh, EZ-Cheek Mesh with NOVATHREADS are 3 quick, simple and efficient procedures:
The EZ-Lip Fill technique consists of a very simple lip enhancement procedure using NOVATHREADS Smooth (for a slight enhancement) & NOVATHREADS Twist (for a little more volume). Most of the time no anesthesia will be needed although at times a numbing cream can be used if necessary. With NovaThreads the result are always symmetric. The procedure itself will 15 minutes and the results last about 3 months.
The EZ-Neck Mesh technique consists of placing a net of 5 to 10 NOVATHREADS Smooth for the reduction of submental sagging, chin lines and the correction of the “turkey neck” or 10 to 15 NOVATHREADS Smooth in lower and lateral neck area to smoothen and equalize that area. Currently there is no alternative procedure of that type and it can be done combined with botulinum toxin to relax the platysmal cords & erase the horizontal wrinkles.
The EZ-Cheek Mesh technique consists of creating a network of threads in the cheek on a more superficial layer & to enhance the results (volume) of deeper dermal filler injections. 5 to 10 NOVATHREADS Smooth are placed on each side. The procedure has no need for anesthesia and minimal post-procedure bruising. It is also useful to create texture when the skin is very thin and not “ready” for the EZ-Cheek Lift.
The Nu-Lift procedure consists of creating a real “skin repositioning” or tightening depending on the kind of barb Novathreads used and the area of treatment. NOVATHREADS barb1 (Unidirectional) & barb2 (Bidirectional) are used in the jaw line and the cheek, belly and buttocks in association with the smooth threads following a ratio of 1 to 4 or 5.
EZ-Jaw Lift: The unidirectional barbed threads (barb1) are creating a lifting effect after taking position within the skin & after the massage following the removal of the needle. This lifting/repositioning effect is always taking place in a upwards fashion, in the direction of the needle entry point.
EZ-Cheek lift: The bidirectional barbed threads (barb2) are used to reposition/accumulate the skin towards the middle of the area treated or to spread the skin toward the ends on the threads. The removal of the needle creates a temporary tunnel allowing the barbs to move. The shrinking vs. spreading effect is generated by the massage of the skin which instantaneously positions the barb.
EZ-Neck lift: Specific areas for bidirectional threads (barb2) are the submental zone, where it is used to spread the skin towards the 2 threads’ exit points, and in the cleavage, when wrinkles due to breast augmentation or ageing are present.

Stop hair loss with this special oil, a tried-and-tested home remedy
Hair loss is quite a common problem that affects both young and old women. In fact, a 2007 study published by the National Library of Medicine revealed that less than 45 percent women go through life with a head full of hair. That got me worried! After all, curly, wavy or straight, we love our hair. So when I saw quite a lot of hair strands on the floor, I called my mom. She took out coconut oil and mixed it with black cumin seeds. Then she massaged my head with it. She says coconut oil and black cumin are natural remedies to combat hair loss, and it has worked for her for a long time!
To get an expert’s advice on this home remedy for hair growth, Health Shots reached out to Dr Kuna Ramdas, Senior Dermatologist, Kamineni Hospitals, Hyderabad.
He says in the pursuit of maintaining healthy hair, many women turn to natural remedies to address common hair concerns, including hair loss. Two natural ingredients that have gained popularity for their potential benefits in promoting hair health are coconut oil and black cumin. These versatile natural ingredients, when combined, create a potent solution that may combat hair loss and promote overall hair health.
Benefits of coconut oil for hair
Coconut oil as a skin and hair treatment has been used for long due to its many benefits.
• Its medium-chain fatty acids moisturise hair. This in turn, prevents dryness and frizz. • Essential nutrients like vitamins E and K, and iron nourish hair follicles, promoting healthy hair growth, says Dr Ramdas. • With natural antimicrobial properties, it fights scalp infections, creating a healthier environment. • When used regularly, it prevents protein loss. This way it helps to safeguard hair from damage and breakage.
Benefits of black cumin for hair
Black cumin offers multiple hair benefits which is why many women swear by it.
• It stimulates hair growth with nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamins A and E. • Promotes scalp health through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. • Adds shine and luster with essential oils. • Fights hair thinning with active compounds, making it ideal for those seeking improved hair volume and health.

You can always go for an egg and coconut oil hair mask to combat hair loss. But the combination of coconut oil and black cumin is also a powerful one. While coconut oil nourishes hair follicles, black cumin promotes scalp health, reduces hair breakage, and improves blood circulation for stronger and healthier hair growth, says the expert.
Here’s how to use coconut oil and black cumin for hair –
• Heat 1/4 cup of organic coconut oil in a small pan until it turns completely liquid. • Add 2 tablespoons of black cumin seeds and continue heating for 2 to 3 minutes to infuse the oil with cumin’s beneficial compounds. • Let the mixture cool to room temperature, ensuring the black cumin seeds steep in the oil. • Strain the oil to remove the seeds, creating infused coconut oil. • Massage the oil onto your scalp and hair and leave it on for 30 minutes. Wash your hair with mild shampoo and let it air dry.
Use this home remedy one or two times per week for best results. The combination of coconut oil and cumin is generally safe for hair treatment, but people with allergies should be careful. If you don’t know whether you are allergic to these ingredients, got for a patch test first.

“I work together with my clients to make sure they leave with beautiful hair, cut into a style that suits their lifestyle and needs…”
It is a paradox that the very best of things find themselves becoming the very best kept secrets. As is the case on the 1st floor of no. 37 Eastcastle Street, just feet from the hustling and bustling wails of Oxford Street; where sits the studio of a talented gentleman who has come to settle here in our neighbourhood; hair stylist Tomoyuki Otsuka. He told me of his Tokyo routes and the story behind his salon, Tomoyuki & Co.
Tomoyuki is no stranger to hair styling having quickly made a name for himself back home in Tokyo. Noted for his talent, around 8 years ago he was approached by a hair salon with chains all across Japan to launch their very first branch right here in the UK. Having spent 6 years working for the salon chain in the heart of Fitzrovia, Tomoyuki observed the neighbourhood feel of the area; its residents and transients, consequently falling in love with Fitzrovia and the clientele. This became his new home.
Otsuka’s approach to hair styling is unique in itself and somewhat personal. He believes in creating bespoke cuts and styles tailored to each individual client. He also believes in the importance of a hairdresser to take note of the vision and preference of the client. “I work together with my clients to make sure they leave with beautiful hair, cut into a style that suits their lifestyle and needs,” he explains. It’s almost no wonder at all that Tomoyuki being the perfectionist he is, has styled the hair of many icons and celebrities such as Olivia Palermo and Cara Delevingne.
His clients had often asked him about the possibility of opening his own salon, triggering something in his mind and setting the idea alight. He had already envisioned how he wanted his salon to be: a classic and minimalistic boutique feel in the heart of the city. A speciality of Otsuka’s is his individual and tailor-made hair treatments. He believes the success behind a beautiful cut and style begins with a healthy scalp. He explains the health of his clients’ scalps, giving them tips on how to treat their hair from root to tip.
Amid the array of galleries and boutiques that make for the character of Eastcastle Street, Tomoyuki & Co opened its doors in November 2013, on the 1st floor of door no. 37. Closely located to Market Place and Oxford Circus station, the salon is a neatly tucked away escape from the wicked west-end, revealed purely via word of mouth. Abiding Tomoyuki’s vision of a purely minimalistic salon space, the salon boasts neutral decor through and through, an enjoyable non-pressure salon environment where clients can enjoy the experience of the hair treatment Tomoyuki knows they deserve.
Whilst Tomoyuki fronts Tomoyuki & Co, other integral members of the team specialise in their own fields such as Iris, a highly experienced hairdresser from Germany specialising in cut and colour. In addition to hairstyling, the salon also offers services from wonderful nail technicians, who create the most exceptional looking nails using the latest colour trends, shapes and specialist nail art. In opening the salon, the team wanted to create a comfortable and relaxing environment where the clientele could escape the lively and busy streets of Fitzrovia, to which all team members contribute.
Bringing his far-eastern home to the Fitzrovia area, Tomoyuki always keeps a selection of impressive Japanese green teas at the salon for those who want to try a cup. The overall treatment of clients here is relaxed and calming. Be prepared for a wonderful head massage (in order to stimulate the scalp), followed by a bespoke hair treatment (cut and style). For those clients who live a busy city life, where time is precious, Tomoyuki & Co offers a manicure service at the same time as the haircut.
I discussed with Tomoyuki his decision to base his salon right here in the Fitzrovia neighbourhood. He felt that, due to the character of the area, this would be the perfect setting in which to open the salon. It was an area that he had begun to understand, getting to know the people and developing strong connections. In the heart of the capital and convenient for all clients to get to, Fitzrovia itself is his favourite area in London. Future aspirations look to opening a second salon and the creation of a personalised product line. A self-confessed hair geek, Tomoyuki will no doubt make sure to use only the very best ingredients in his merchandise.
In this neatly kept secret on Eastcastle Street Tomoyuki and his team have come to create a salon that is true to his ethos of hair styling whilst remaining true to the neighbourhood with its calming and diverse backdrop. With high ambition and drive, this small independent business is set to flourish in the years to come.


CO2 Laser Therapy
Flawless skin is always in vogue. Sadly, little imperfections and major skin issues can dramatically change our reflection in a mirror. Scars, moles, large pores, wrinkles, and other unsightly additions are unlikely to put a smile on your face but don’t despair. Modern aesthetic procedures with the evolution of science are able to restore the beauty of your skin. Forget about costly surgical procedures that have months of downtime. CO2 therapy can be as effective as going under the knife, but it is much safer, faster, and affordable with a lot less downtime.
What is CO2 Laser Therapy?
Before opting for CO2 treatments, you should know that it involves exposing the skin to a very intense laser. Lasers used in aesthetic procedures emit high-energy light of certain wavelengths. In carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers, a blend of three gases (CO2, nitrogen, and helium) creates a medium that produces light in the infrared spectrum. When hitting a target area, this light immediately heats the skin cells and evaporates the water they contain, which leads to cell destruction. Basically, CO2 lasers remove the outer layer of skin, and this procedure is known as skin resurfacing. Patients with discoloration from the sun or even from acne can have the area treated and leave you with amazing results. Brown pigmented skin and acne scarring can be removed with just a few treatments.
The use of a CO2 Laser ablates the skin which stimulates our body to begin collagen synthesis to heal the areas targeted by the CO2 laser beam. Collagen, which is the protein that gives our skin firmness and smoothness, works its magic to restore a youthful and glowing appearance. Besides, the removal of older skin (which is often damaged by sun radiation or cancer) there is stimulation the growth of new, healthier tissues.
The downside with CO2 laser therapy has always been the amount of downtime a patient needs. Technology has previously struggled to deliver a short pulse to the skin without lingering heat to damage the surrounding skin. This is where the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser really shines. At Pretty Girl Aesthetics we carry this CO2 laser from DEKA a global leader in aesthetic technology. We are able to deliver precise and short pulses which create superficial skin resurfacing results without damaging the surrounding skin. Patients get an immediate aesthetic effect without downtime.
What are the Benefits of CO2 Laser Therapy?
Carbon dioxide laser treatment has two major goals: to improve the overall quality of the skin and eliminate undesirable skin conditions.
When it comes to rejuvenating your look, CO2 Laser therapy can provide the following:
– Reduce both fine lines and moderately deep wrinkles
– Make crow’s feet less apparent
– Tighten sagging skin
– Even out skin tone and texture
– Reduce pore size
These effects are possible because of the surge of collagen the body produces in response to the removed tissues due to the CO2 laser. Collagen development begins in the deeper layers of the dermis and wrinkles and lines disappear as the collagen builds leaving you with much smoother skin.
Along with that, CO2 laser skin resurfacing is an excellent choice to combat various skin concerns including:
– scars including acne scarring;
– enlarged pores and oil glands;
– moles and birthmarks;
– actinic keratosis;
– stretch marks;
– pigmentation (age spots, sun damage, freckles, melasma, etc.)
These benefits of carbon dioxide laser therapy are achieved by destroying damaged skin cells, scar tissue, and unwanted growths. Shortly after, our body will replace those with new cells deprived of structural damage. Thus, skin resurfacing can even help prevent the development of skin cancer in the early stages.
What is Cool Peel and What Can I Expect?
Tetra CO2 is the only laser that features CoolPeel. This revolutionary technology delivers minimally-invasive non-surgical treatment that brings stunning results with minimal recovery time.
CoolPeel takes advantage of high-power short impulses that ensure controlled and precise damage in the superficial layers (epidermis) and heating of deeper layers (dermis) of the skin. These impulses affect only the target area leaving surrounding tissues intact. Besides, this type of CO2 therapy doesn’t excessively heat the skin meaning it is suitable for people with a dark complexion. All of this results in fewer and less pronounced side effects of treatment (redness, swelling, skin flaking, etc.) and shorter downtime.
What to Expect with Tetra CO2 Treatment?
The initial phase of CO2 laser treatment is a consultation with our aesthetician or nurse. We would like to find out what worries you about your skin as well as explain what laser treatment is capable of and how it works. We will then assess the condition of your skin to understand whether you’re a good candidate for the procedure.
CO2 Laser in Knoxville TN
If everything is alright, we will take pictures of your skin before the treatment and explain how you should prepare yourself for the next phase (this includes staying away from sun exposure and refusal of certain medications and skin care products).
On your next visit, we will prepare your skin for treatment. First, we will cleanse your skin and use a numbing cream in combination with our Sub-Z cryotherapy to lessen any pain you might feel. We will then start treatment over the area we have marked off. In most cases, it will take up to 15 minutes. When it is done, we will provide you with a detailed plan on what to do and what to use in the post-treatment stage.
CO2 Laser Knoxville
Within a couple of days after the procedure, your skin may appear reddish akin to sunburn. It may also feel dry and flaky. This is a normal reaction to damage. To promote healing and reduce unpleasant sensations, you should stay hydrated, use special skincare products, and avoid exposure to ultraviolet light. We will make sure you have what you need to take care of your skin.
What is the Recovery Time?
It all depends on the intensity of the treatment. Because Tetra CO2 laser allows adjusting the power and aggressiveness of impulses, you can choose the desired downtime. If you opt for mild treatment, it will take 2-3 days to recover. Should you opt for a more intense procedure to achieve a more dramatic effect, downtime can span about a week to even a month. Most patients typically opt for 3-4 treatments of the Cool Peel which gives you the same result as a much deeper peel however without the downtime.


Frequently Asked Questions - About Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal
If you live with unwanted hair on your back, legs, upper lip or other areas, you may be surprised to find that you can find permanent relief to your problem through pulsed light hair removal.
How it works and What to expect..
Laser hair removal has been around since the 1990’s and is a safe non-invasive procedure. Pulsed light treatments are remarkable because they can provide permanent hair reduction on large body areas with a minimum of discomfort. I use a Palomar Pulsed Light System and my patients have experienced superior results after only a few treatments. Pulsed Light is similar to a laser in that it used an intense beam of light. However, Palomar employs a new technology that removes hair up to ten times faster than most lasers. Palomar Pulsed Light Systems have the flexibility to provide hair removal treatments on different types of skin and hair. The systems remove unwanted hair by delivering a pulse of intense light directly into the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair. Pulsed light treatments are exponentially more effective than such temporary solutions as shaving and waxing. Most patients describe the pulses as a “snapping” sensation, which causes mild discomfort at most. After the treatment, there may be some redness for a few days, but that quickly fades and the patient can enjoy the effects of smooth skin.
Frequently Ask Questions…
Is laser hair removal painful?
If you have had electrolysis, you will find laser hair removal to be considerable more tolerable. The procedure itself is so fast on most areas it is finished before you know it.
Do I have to have my hair long for treatment?
No, in fact you should shave the area to be treated two days prior to coming in. We want the laser to target the hair and hair follicle. If the hair is too long the laser could be wasted on the surface hair, never making it into the follicle.

Body Contouring Q & A
What is WarmSculpting with SculpSure?
WarmSculpting with SculpSure is an innovative, noninvasive technology that affords Dr. von Walter and Dr. Young the ability to melt away fat in targeted areas.
During your treatment, your Rockville Gynecology practitioner moves the SculpSure device over your skin in the area you want to treat.
As it goes to work, the SculpSure laser reaches safely through the top layer of your skin into the fat cells in the area. As the laser hits those cells, it heats them. Eventually, they heat to a point where their structural integrity is permanently damaged.
Your body registers this damage and goes to work removing the damaged cells. Over the next few months, your lymphatic system will process those fat cells out of your body, leaving you with a slimmer frame.
SculpSure is effective on any part of the body. It’s ideal if you have unwanted fat:
- On your stomach
- Around your love handles or back

November is National Healthy Skin Month, and if you are obsessed with skin care like me, it’s our time to shine. There are few better feelings than the one you get when your skin feels healthy and hydrated, but I think we need to talk about what “healthy” skin actually looks like.
Our skin is the largest organ on our bodies. It’s our protective layer from the world around us, and it’s also a good indicator of what’s going on below the surface.
One comment I have been getting pretty frequently on TikTok has been about the fact that I have acne on my forehead.
Yes, I have acne, I’m 17! Acne is not a bad thing. It’s our skin’s way of letting us know what it needs and if there are larger issues at hand that should be dealt with. When we have allergic reactions, one of the first signs is typically skin irritation. Digestive issues are also signified by changes in our skin, and our hormonal cycles usually kick off with a pimple or two that lets us know things are changing as they should be.

Patricia Haftar: Visual Artist
The greatest influences on my art have been the Group of Seven, the Impressionists, Mondrian and Picasso. I love colour , movement ,texture and pattern. I like the play between texture and pattern to create interesting flow from one area to another. Using the impact of colour to enhance the elements in my work, be it realism or abstract. I integrate predominately these four elements to create a piece that is pleasing to my eye. My work stands out because of how I apply colour, texture, movement and pattern. These four elements of design have become the signature of each piece.


Up until yesterday afternoon, I have been some shade of blonde for the past 25 years of my life. (minus that time I tried dying my hair blue when I was 13. Lets just say my mom made that end quicker than it began.) But now, I am now officially a shade of silver. I still have hints of blonde, sure, but this is ground breaking for me.
How is the state of your hair, you may ask. Well in short, it’s crap. I have been adding bleach on bleach on bleach to my hair for years now. At one point my hair was straight white. And after all of these years, its finally caught up to me. My hair has breakage, its really thin by the sides of my ears, and starting to feel super fine. Which all of this totally sucks, because when I was in my early 20’s my hair was thick, curly, and I had so much of it that I wanted to just shave it all off.
I went into Mane Space right here in Chicago yesterday and worked with the most fabulous lady ever, Anastasia Amico (@anasasiaamico on Instagram.) I expressed all my concerns to her, including how I don’t think bleach was the best answer for me anymore; but I still wanted a change to my hair. Anastasia suggested going silver and told me about this fab 5 step moisturizing routine she could do with me to make my hair feel strong, and help it grow fast again.
I left the salon with all of these items you see pictured, and with much stronger and healthier feeling hair. The 5 step routine is called Bio Mplex, which is made in Italy and can only be purchased through salons. Steps 1-3 can only be done at the salon; which include a hair mask and deep conditionings.
Step 4 is a daily treatment which is a leave in conditioner that you add after you’re out of the shower. I was advised to only wash my hair twice a week, and use this after my showers.
Step 5 is a daily leave in oil. I previously had been using coconut oil in my hair for deep conditioning, which is good to use once or twice a month. However, your hair needs daily assistance outside of that. Which is why step 5 is so fab. Just a dab once a day helps give you hair the essential oils needed to stay healthy.
On top of these products, I also went home with a purple shampoo to help keep my hair it’s fierce silver color, and another silver spray including argon oil for extra moisturizing.
Now, I haven’t used any of these products over an extended period of time, so only time will tell how my hair reacts. I have a good feeling about it though, and I’m ready for my hair to be long and healthy once again!

A lot of people use a brush to apply it, I have found that using this Morphe blender works best for me and I feel like it really helps push the product into my skin.
If you watched the video then you saw how amazing this Bronzer was, its PERFECT. & worth every penny, I have used the SAME one for years and I still haven't hit pan! You've got to get it. Unfortunately that brush is discontinued but I linked a similar Brush that looks amazing.

A recent visit to the Taal Volcano Island reminded me of how beautiful the Philippines is with its natural beauty.
A glimpse of the volcano from Tagaytay City evokes unknown emotions but a personal visit to the island gave me a glimpse of how immense the volcano and how the lake surrounding it provides livelihood to the people of Cavite and Batangas.
There is of course the eco-friendly tourism using horses to navigate the stiff route going up the crater of the still active volcano.
The view from the top is mind boggling. From there you can see Mt. Makulot and other mountains of Batangas and Laguna. Looking at the awe-inspiring lake that surrounds Taal Volcano provokes one to think of the many instances we took for granted this natural beauty.
Looking down inside the crater lake from the viewing deck sent shivers down my spine. I don't know why, it must the height.
Above is the video I made from the photos I took during that recent memorable visit to the island.


When faced with a hair lice infestation, the first question that often arises is whether to opt for natural remedies or chemical treatments. Both approaches have their merits, and choosing the right one depends on various factors. This article aims to help you make an informed decision by comparing the benefits and drawbacks of natural and chemical hair lice treatment options.
Natural remedies: The gentle approach:
- Safety: Natural remedies typically involve ingredients like oils (coconut, olive, and tea tree), vinegar, or mayonnaise. These substances are generally considered safe for the scalp and hair, making them suitable for sensitive skin, especially in children.
- Low risk of resistance: Lice are less likely to develop resistance to natural remedies, reducing the chances of treatment failure in case of a stubborn infestation.
- Hair conditioning: Many natural remedies, such as oil treatments, not only target lice but also condition and moisturize the hair, leaving it soft and manageable.
- Time-consuming: Natural remedies often require multiple applications and longer exposure times to suffocate and remove lice. This can be cumbersome for individuals with busy schedules.
- Messy application: Applying oils or other substances to the hair can be messy and may require thorough cleaning afterward.
Chemical treatments: The swift solution
- Efficiency: Chemical treatments, available over-the-counter or by prescription, are designed to kill lice quickly and efficiently, often in a single application.
- Convenience: Chemical treatments usually come in the form of shampoos or lotions, making them easy to apply and integrate into your regular hair care routine.
- Immediate results: Chemical treatments offer rapid results, alleviating the discomfort and itching associated with lice infestations promptly.
- Potential for irritation: Chemical treatments may cause skin irritation or allergies in some individuals, particularly those with sensitive skin.
- Resistance concerns: Some lice populations have developed resistance to certain chemical ingredients, potentially rendering these treatments less effective.
The choice between natural and chemical hair lice treatments depends on your unique circumstances and preferences. Natural remedies offer a gentle, safe option with potential conditioning benefits, while chemical treatments provide rapid results. Consider the severity of the infestation, your skin sensitivity, and any resistance concerns when making your decision. Consulting a healthcare professional can also help you determine the best approach for effective and safe lice removal.

It’s impossible to tell exactly when beauty contests or beauty pageants began, but they certainly existed since antiquity. For example, in Troy, in Ellas, on Lesbos Island, in ancient China etc, beauty pageants were a form of entertainment. Even in the Ottoman Empire, despite strict Islamic morals, rulers entertained themselves with competitions to choose the most gorgeous wife in their harem.
It’s interesting how the perception of beauty have changed over time. Looking at the beauty quins of the past and the women of today I am sure you will agree they aren’t beautiful as todays “modern woman”. What was once considered beautiful and fashionable is now even laughable.
The first modern Europen pageant was held in 1839 in Scotland. The title of “Queen of Beauty” was awarded to the 30 year old Jane Georgiana Sheridan (5 November 1809 – 14 December 1884), wife of Edward Seymour, 12th Duke of Somerset and sister of noted author Caroline Norton .
The first modern American pageant, involving the display of women’s faces and figures before judges, was staged by Phineas Taylor Barnum in 1854, but his beauty contest was closed down by public protest.
It was in the 1880s that beauty pageants became more popular and the first “Bathing Beauty Pageant” took place as part of a summer festival to promote business in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware


It is normal for hair to be protected by moisture and hair grease. Dry hair is characterized by lacking this fat or sebum, or because this natural protection does not work as it should. This causes the hair to become thinner, lose such moisture, and dry out.

Our hair needs good nutrition to stay healthy and healthy. If you lack the vitamins and other nutrients it requires to grow and maintain its strength, you will begin to notice the consequences.
Certainly maintaining good hygiene is essential. However, everything in excess is bad. Our scalp has the necessary amount of fat and washing it more than it should cause you to completely remove this natural fat and dry it out.
Indiscriminate use of chemicals
It is common that, to make various hairstyles or dye our hair, we use products that contain very harmful chemical substances. This, in addition to causing serious damage to the scalp, and drying the hair, weakens it, making it brittle.
Use of the dryer, iron, tweezers
Devices that are used to straighten or wave hair, emit a lot of heat. By using them for a long time, or very often, they can burn hair. But if they are also used directly on the scalp, it will surely cause dryness.
We have already explained why your hair dries, and surely you will have identified some of the factors that we mention. But surely you are wondering how can I know if my hair is dry? Well now we will mention the most common symptoms. If your hair is dry, you will notice that it feels or looks:
- Opaque, dull
- No volume or natural movement.
- Fragile or weak.
- Rough to the touch.
- It has split ends.
Incredible as it may seem, just by taking into account some basic precautions, you can keep your hair hydrated and healthy . Try to maintain a balanced diet , eating fruits and other foods that provide the vitamins and nutrients that your hair needs. Also, keep your body hydrated by drinking enough water throughout the day.
Avoid washing hair daily , you can do it daily or two or three times a week so that it does not lose its natural fat. Also, use natural products or products that do not contain too many chemical substances.
During the wash, massage your scalp to stimulate the sebaceous glands and do not use very hot water. Hydrate your hair weekly with natural masks .
Avoid excessive use of dryers, irons and tweezers. If you need to use them, try to keep a distance of approximately 15 centimeters from the hair root and use a special cream to protect it. But as much as possible, try to dry your hair naturally , and curl it using special rolls or tubes.

Plastic surgery pros and cons.
Are you satisfied with your physical appearance? Are you a self-confident person? Do you find yourself attractive? Well, if you do not then probably you would like to have a plastic surgery. For many it is the only possible way to change attitude to themselves. At the same time you may risk taking the decision. The result of the cosmetic surgery may be unpleasant. It depends on the surgeon and of course on your expectations. If you do not like the final result it may destroy your life and make things worse. Let’s see what are pros and cons of having plastic surgery.
In case you do not like your facial features of course you may have a cosmetic surgery. I know a girl who is literally dreaming of changing the shape of her nose. As for me I’m sure that she is attractive and her nose is just perfect. But it is impossible to persuade her to think another way. So she is going to have plastic surgery to become more attractive and even desirable. I suppose it concerns more her psychological health not physical appearance. Hopefully if she has a cosmetic surgery it would affect her psychological state. Thus plastic surgery elevates someone’s self-esteem. After having a cosmetic surgery people become more self-confident and even happy and satisfied. As for me inner world is much more important than physical appearance. But it is just another story.
At the same time to have a plastic surgery is quite expensive. You buy a pig in a poke as you never know what would be the result. And again it would depend not only on the skill of the surgeon. It mainly depend on the fact whether your expectations are real. Some patients are dreaming to look like a Hollywood star. Well, just try to be reasonable and realistic.

Whatever people say, most of women consider cellulite unsightly and want to get rid of cellulite as fast as possible. Because of that the beauty industry comes up with newer and newer anti-cellulite treatments.
There’s another cellulite treatment that promises quick and easy solution to the cellulite problem. The treatment is called Cellfina and according to Cellfina website, the patient’s treatment satisfaction, after 2 years is 96%. Let’s look more into what Cellfina is, how it works and does it work at all?
If you want to get rid of cellulite for good at home, without spending thousands of dollars, then read first about 5 Critical Keys to Get Rid of Cellulite.
Cellfina is a minimally-invasive cellulite treatment that is done under local anesthesia and the whole procedure takes less than one hour. It’s hard to find the exact description and info about how it works exactly, but it seems similar to Cellulaze.
Most of the patients say it isn’t painful or very uncomfortable. On the scale from 1 to 10, some patients gave it 2, some 5.
The doctors say that it cuts the fibers that pull the fat down, which causes the appearance of dimples, which is cellulite. Cellulite isn’t really a fat, as most people think, but is caused by weak fibers, or muscle fibers as Joey Atlas says. Cellfina treats them with the laser and Joey Atlas with exercise.
Cellfina is for women and can treat cellulite on buttocks and thighs. It has been approved by FDA.
There can be some bruises and swellings after the procedure. You can go home right after the procedure and there’s no downtime.
You should see some good effects three days after the procedure, but to see better results you might need to wait six months or even a year. Actually, some women didn’t see any good results for a few days after the procedure because of the swelling.
You can read the reviews of the women who did the procedure here. Many of the women are happy with the results because they have seen some improvement, but the cellulite isn’t usually completely gone.
The results should stay unless the new cellulite appears.
The good thing about Cellfina is that some women are happy with the results because they saw some improvement and nothing else they had tried before worked for them. You only require one treatment and it takes less than one hour.
The cons are swelling and some bruises. A little pain too, during the procedure. Some women say they haven’t seen much improvement and the success rate of Cellfina isn’t 100%, but none of laser treatments for cellulite works really 100%.
The main problem about Cellfina for many women is the cost; it starts from $4,000, but it depends on the area and severity of cellulite. Cellulite is a big problem for many women because it destroys their self-confidence, and some women are ready to pay a lot to get rid of cellulite. But many women can’t afford Cellfina.


Tips to Slow the Ageing Process
Many women are concerned about ageing and can benefit from preventive treatment. Don't wait until you see a wrinkle or sunspot to start taking care of your skin. The sooner you start, the sooner you will reap the benefits. Here are some simple anti-ageing solutions you can start today.
Avoid intentional sun exposure
When you bare your beautiful skin to UVA and UVB radiation, it creates free radical cell damage. There is a breakdown of elastin and collagen, which are vital substances to help the skin look young, supple and healthy. The more you expose yourself, the more damage will accumulate over time. You might not see it right away, but as you get older, your skin will start to look older than its chronological age.
Wear sunscreen daily
You get more sun exposure on your skin by walking around on a daily basis than you do when you go on a yearly vacation. UVA radiation is always present, whether the sun is out or not. You might be under the impression that sunscreen is only for days when the sun is out or when you're on vacation, but it actually should be used daily. Find a moisturiser with an SPF 15 (or higher) broad-spectrum sunscreen. Make sure you apply the sunscreen 30 minutes before you go outside, as this allows it to have enough time to provide the maximum benefits to the skin.
Cigarette smoke depletes many critical vital nutrients and vitamins that the skin needs to look amazing. One of the vitamins it depletes is vitamin C, which is essential for protecting and helping to repair the skin. Some of the long-term effects of smoking may include smoker's lines around the lips and ashen looking skin. Who wants that? There are no creams, sunscreens or magic wands that can undo the damage of cigarette smoking, so the best treatment is not to smoke.
Use products with antioxidants
Antioxidants help fight off free radical cell damage that can prematurely age the skin. They also may improve the health and glow of your skin. Some examples of useful antioxidants are vitamins A, C and E. If you want to get the most value for your skincare, find a moisturizer with these ingredients. Products that have antioxidants can benefit the appearance and health of the skin, including a reduction in signs of premature ageing.
Ageing prevention should be a consistent programme you do on a daily basis. You can't stop the ageing process, but you can definitely slow it down.


Product: Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Sleeping Mask
How I Got It: Bought it
I think Glow Recipe’s products have such a cult following because of their dewy viscosity. There’s something about squishing their product with my fingers that makes me feel really… satisfied.
Sound weird? Yep. Well, let’s move on, then.
Don’t Judge Beauty by its Cover
I had never been particularly drawn to the K-Beauty movement. In fact, so many stores have popped up in my city that it actually had the opposite effect and turned me off from setting foot in them. In my mind, K-Beauty and “clean beauty” didn’t jive (particularly if brands were affordable). Funny how that pricing game works.
Glow Recipe had mass-market distribution, though. And that made me more open to trying it. It looked cute – but almost too cute – with its sugary-sweet pops of colour and fruit.
Changing Up the Contents of My Vanity
But as I navigated my diagnosis with endometriosis, fibroids, etc., I became more paranoid of how personal care products and certain ingredients (er, chemicals) could contribute to hormonal imbalance. While I was laid up in bed after surgery, I had a bit of cabin fever and ordered a ton of new products from Sephora thanks to the influence of their “clean beauty” marketing stamp on their website. And while I continue to learn about what constitutes “clean beauty” versus “clean-ish” versus “outright BS marketing gimmick,” I started experimenting with different brands.
It’s Glowing on Me
One of the products from my massive haul was Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask. I got to meet one of Glow’s founders, Christine Chang, during an event at, you guessed it, Sephora. She gave a good 101-friendly overview of K-Beauty as well as how she transitioned her career from working at L’Oreal to co-founding Glow Recipe. I’m always hesitant about in-store events where founders and brand experts gush over the super-specialness of their respective brands while enticing you with day-of specials. It’s part of the marketing dance, so I was curious to see how the sleeping mask would feel once I started using it.
It’s kind of nutty that Glow Recipe apparently sells one bottle of its Watermelon Sleeping Mask every three minutes. Clearly, a lot of people are into the sweetness in this chic, glossy bottle! The thick, substantial feel of the bottle looked sleek in my cabinet.
I retained my skepticism while looking at the ingredients list and wondered just how much watermelon was in there. Social posts from co-founder, Sarah Lee, caught my eye when she showed their watermelon processing methods. Fifty watermelons get sliced and diced every day at their plant before undergoing the transformation processes to get them into the ooey-gooey sleep mask form). I had learned from Christine’s talk that the sweet watermelon scent is not a result of the actual fruit ingredient as you’d expect; the fruit is rather scent-less, so the smell has to be enhanced — kind of like how a watermelon Ring Pop smells). After application, the sweet scent was unnoticeable (thankfully).
Sensation & Results
I had experienced a terrible encounter with a chemical peel a couple of months back (looking at you, Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Exfoliating Peel Spray). So, I was a bit nervous about trying Glow’s sleeping mask.
Apparently, watermelon is a Korean beauty secret. Christine and Sarah’s grandmothers would rub watermelon rinds on tired, irritated skin to soothe it. But if you have super sensitive or stressed skin, Glow recommends using it like a mask that you wash off.
I tried it overnight several times, with a couple of days gap in between, and my skin felt great in the morning. Globbing on a nice thin layer (about three finger scoops), so that my face was shiny and dewy looking was all I needed. Just mix it thoroughly before, though, as it can get a bit separated. Thankfully, I didn’t experience any tingling or burning, only the film on my skin (which didn’t damage my pillowcase, either). I’ve been using the sleep mask on and off for a couple of months now and find it helps make my skin more supple during harsh Canadian winters. I tried it out with Glow Recipe’s Blueberry Bounce facial cleanser and felt like I’d just had a fruit salad (a little too sweet for my preference).
Price & Verdict
In terms of performance, it’s not a shock that I’m on board with the thousands of other fans of this sleeping mask. I would totally rotate it into my routine now and then as a nice pick-me-up but likely wouldn’t keep it in play all the time. At nearly $60 for 80 ml, it’s on the pricier side, but if you respond well to the extra moisture infusion, it might just be worth it.

Concealer is by far one of my favourite pieces of makeup. I can have a day where the only makeup I put on my face is concealer and a bit of powder. It’s one of those things that can be used in so many different ways; to cover under eye circles, conceal spots or any unwanted blemishes. But when you’re first starting out it can be pretty confusing. There’s liquid, matte, crayon-like sticks, skin coloured, green ones, purple ones and the whole thing can feel a bit daunting! So, let’s take it back to basics and look at concealer 101.
First up, what type of concealer to use? There are honestly so many different types and colours to choose from, I know in the beginning I found myself blankly staring at the makeup counters trying work out the difference! First of all, it really depends what type of texture you prefer; do you want a liquid based product or a creamy stick?
Personally, I prefer liquid. I feel like it rubs and blends in better and is easier to use. I also suffer from dry skin on my face and find that sometimes when I apply a more matte cream type concealer, it can sometimes leave me with flaky skin and uneven patches around the area that I’ve applied it to. But, as with everything it did take a bit of trial and error to find my perfect product.
