With this summer heat comes decisions, decisions! Making good decisions now can save you from premature ageing and possibly worse later on, so choose wisely. Which sun cream is most effective? Which sunscreens won't break you out?
If you can't stay in the shade between 11am and 3pm, make sure you are wearing an SPF suitable for your skin tone. It's common knowledge that the darker you are, the more melanin you have in your skin. Melanin is the component in skin which makes you tan.

The final episode of The Apprentice aired tonight on BBC1 at 8.00pm and saw Lord Sugar taking on Dr Leah Totton as a business partner with a personal investment of £250,000. Luisa Zissman with a proposed wholesale bakery business narrowly lost out to Leah's business plan for a chain of Medical Cosmetic clinics to be Lord Sugar’s Apprentice for 2013. The nation was on the edge of their seats to find out whether Lord Sugar would take the safe option of baking or the cosmetic route, which for him, has a moral dilemma.
Yet Leah’s new business venture proposal is not a new concept, as...
Is your make-up or skincare toxic? Most people can't even pronounce some of the ingredients in their beauty, skincare or bath products – yet they continue to use them, unaware of the long-term repercussions on their health.
For many consumers, ignorance is bliss, but keeping educated on toxins and chemicals in products we ingest, rub into our skin or inhale might just prevent sickness and disease later on. Due to numerous sensitivities such as allergies and coeliac disease, many people are becoming more aware of the chemicals and toxicity of products on the market.
Exeter-based Radiance MediSpa run by mother and daughter team Dr Ros Debenham and Katie Debenham hosted its first corporate event since opening in the spring. The title of this month’s event was ‘Visioning your business’. The luxurious venue was utilised by GrowthAccelerator which helps small businesses expand with on-going support for business strategy.
Guests were welcomed with a glass of champagne and enjoyed taster sessions from Radiance MediSpa therapists followed by presentations from Katharine Bourke of GrowthAccelerator and Dr Ros Debenham.

What many people don't know is these benefits extend far beyond just the workplace. Massage reduces the stress hormone, cortisol and releases the 'feel-good' hormones, dopamine and serotonin. Too much cortisol in the...
Let's face it—teens are overwhelmed with pressure by mates, classmates and themselves to look like unrealistic representations of people who should not be role models. Whether they are trying to copycat the makeup look of a reality show sexpot or watching the most recent video of their favourite pop star's lyrical exploration about sex, many teens are just following the crowd—and looking much older than they should. Many teens and adults alike don't realise that these celebrity 'ideals' of beauty go through hours upon hours of skin treatments, skincare, hair and...
You would think with all the spot products and vanishing creams on the market, we would see clearer faces in the hallways of high schools and secondary schools.
The problem is, most teenagers don't think about taking care of their skin. They think they and their bodies are invincible but the truth is, if acne is left untreated it's easy to pick at a spot and cause even more damage or worse - end up with scars for life. The good news is that acne is treatable and you don't need harsh chemicals to get the job done.
The first step is cleansing not only the skin, but deep down...
