Acne's Bestest Treatment - Acne Treatment System 2008-03-27 14:49:00 I have a cousin, Tony, who suffered from severe acne since his early teenage years. He was always trying out the best acne creams doctor's would recommend him. I always remember how he was continuously changing his diet, the soap-bar he used to wash his face with, the towel to dry his face, and I know a lot people that had acne and would do the same. Often, our customers have trouble learning about real acne treatments and trusting them, and I think Tony's struggle is one that many people live with throughout their lives - trying acne cures. Are you looking for the bestest acne treatment?Whether you believe it or not, the ingredients contained in real acne products set the difference and its effectiveness with others. By using prescription-grade acne ingredients, some acne treatments can e Read more:Acne

Omega-3: Take it to Heart - and Mind! 2008-03-31 14:58:00 MANY MEN ARE DEPRIVED of Omega
-3 fatty acids. Why does this matter? Omega-3 fatty acids are vital to good health - research proves that not only can they promote brain function - according to the FDA, they may also reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Research suggests Omega 3's support healthy joints and muscular mobility and even regulate mood levels. Where do Omega 3's occur naturally? The most widely available source of Omega-3 nutrition is in fish oil, specifically cold water 'oily fish.' But in terms of richest nutritional concentration, seed oils top the list (in fact, seed oils are up to 6x richer in Omega-3 fatty acids than most fish oils). Chicken eggs also have high concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids. So if you're eating a diet that's rich seeds, nuts, whole grains, fi Read more:Heart
MEN HAVE THICKER SKIN THAN WOMEN. 2008-04-03 14:22:00 No, that wasn't a sexist comment, it's true. How else is men's skin different? MenScience answers.Men Have Thicker Skin. Literally - a man's skin is thicker and firmer than a woman's. Having higher levels of testosterone hormones in their blood, men's dermis and epidermis skin layers are thicker and have more elastin and collagen (gives skin firmness and elasticity) than women. This means that a man's resistance to aging skin (lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, etc.) is higher than a woman’s.Men Have Oilier Skin. With thicker skin, men also have more active oil-producing sebaceous glands (sebum) that continue producing oil late into life (women decrease oil production about 20 years sooner than men). These natural oils waterproof and protect skin to keep it soft, smooth and supple.Men Have Co

Shun Acne for Summer Fun 2008-04-10 08:32:00 The hot, humid months of summer have just begun - aka 'acne season.'
