From the Pros: What does Organic Skincare Really Mean?

unnamed-5 (1)

Organic has gone mainstream! Everyone these days prefers organic products thinking they’re sparing themselves harmful chemicals. This is especially true in beauty products. While the FDA maintains that chemicals are safe and in small doses many are; these chemicals add up. The average woman uses 10 to 16 cosmetic products daily creating a chemical cocktail in our bodies. The hidden danger is that no one is testing how these chemicals react together. To err on the safe side, more women are choosing organic products. Problem is how can you tell if a product is really 100% organic, what does that really mean, and how is that relevant to your skincare routine?

Dr. Spiezia, Co-founder and formulator of Inlight Organic Skincare is considered to be the global expert in organic skin care. He’s the father of the organic beauty movement in Britain and was voted one of the top 25 “Who’s who in natural beauty” in 2012, 2013 and again in 2015.

Dr. Spiezia explains, “the word organic is a labeling term. It means that the product was produced adhering to very specific and approved methods. It also means that it met the criteria of a third party source. Simply put, for a product to be truly organic it must go through a specific creation process that leaves out certain “chemically based” ingredients. This complex process is what leads to a product you can trust to be free of chemicals.”

Where things get confusing is when we look at the FDA and the USDA. The FDA doesn’t have a formal definition or criteria of what constitutes “organic.” When a cosmetic product claims it’s organic and is labeled as such, it means that it complies with both the USDA and the FDA. However, the USDA standard is clear about organic food, not necessarily beauty products. So in the US there’s no real standard specifically for cosmetics and beauty products. The argument becomes, if it can’t be measured, does it really work and is it all hype.

So why pay extra for organic skincare? Simply put, there are 2 reasons. The good organic skincare products work better, and they are better for you. The challenge is that the smaller companies creating organic products lack the advertising dollars that the non-organic cosmetics giants have. Thanks to the internet, people are able to search on their own for organic brands. Once they find organic products that are top quality and deliver significant results they become loyal.

“When I created Inlight I knew that the terms ‘organic’ and ‘natural’ are so often interpreted in different ways,” explains Dr. Spiezia. The key is really in the accreditation. Consumers need to look for “certified organic” labeling. That ensures that it product meets standards set by a neutral third party resource,” adds Dr. Spiezia.

Inlight has a 100% accreditation from the Soil Association and also proud to be the very first UK skincare company accredited under the new European-wide standard, Cosmos, streamlining the various national standards under one umbrella. Inlight 100% organic skincare is now available in the USA, which gives consumers a product line that they can trust.

The key as with any beauty regime is to understand your skin and how it reacts to what you currently use. The fewer chemicals used, the better. An organic cleanser, moisturizer and treatment serum along with body lotion could be enough to see a fast improvement to skin texture and tone.

Top Money Saving Fashion Tips For Women In College

cashlorette1-1024x640 (1)

So you’re in school and you can’t wait until you’re in your career and making big bucks, so that you can start to add to your wardrobe on a regular basis and really begin turning heads. Besides the clothes that you may already have in your collection, it might not be realistic for you to look at designer labels or even consider going on huge shopping trip, but that doesn’t mean that you have to dress drably. In fact, college is the time that a lot of women start to prepare for dressing in more professional settings while still having the freedom that youth affords them. Follow these tips for making your wardrobe fun, chic and perfect for any occasion, while you save the majority of your cash for college related expenses.

1. Thrift Stores Are Your Friend

If you haven’t ever been inside of a thrift store, you’re going to make both consignment stores and resale shops your new secret fashion weapon. Although most of the clothing sold at thrift stores is used, it can still be one of the best ways for you to find glamorous gowns, fitted blazers, designer jeans and accessories galore. Unlike reading MBA program details online, shopping for gently used clothing at thrift shops can be done in minutes.

2. Swap Clothes With Friends

It is likely that at least one of your friends is around the same dress size as you, and even if you don’t share the same fashion aesthetic, you can still share and swap clothing on occasion. You’re in luck if you have several girlfriends who have rapidly changing wardrobes, as their castoffs can make great additions to your own. Don’t turn down the opportunity to share clothes with your friends as you can make fabulous fashion pairings with the clothes in your closet when they are combined with a few new and unique pieces.

3. Shop For New Clothes Off Season

Although college students and women in general enjoy buying new clothes and then wearing them out and about almost immediately, it is worth shopping out of season. It may be difficult for you to adjust to shopping for your bathing suits and sandals in the fall and buying winter coats and accessories in the spring, but this move will save you big time. While contemplating the advantages of online MBA vs on-campus MBA, you can also more accurately estimate how much money you will need to spend on new threads each semester.

4. Make It Yourself

Not all college students get in the habit of making their own clothing, but those that do often have more expansive wardrobes, and fatter wallets to boot. Start sewing simple pieces, like ponchos and tunics so that you can improve your seamstress skills. Eventually you will get so comfortable with your sewing machine that you will be able to whip up new designs without a pattern, saving money in the meantime and still looking gorgeous.

During college, you will need to be highly resourceful in order to stay trendy without going over budget. Use these tips so that you can focus on completing your MBA, and look great at the same time.

How to Look Your Best Naturally at College

15601597778_7450614c7d

Whilst you’re at college, most students don’t have the funds to afford expensive cosmetics and beauty products. However, looking good on campus is often essential for many college students, especially if you’re looking for MBA career opportunities after graduation and could run into a prospective employer at any time. We’ve listed some simple beauty tips to help you look your best at all times without having to spend a lot.

Invest in a Good Moisturizer

If you’re going to splash out on any beauty products at all, make sure that the product you choose is a good facial moisturizer. Using it daily will make your skin look and feel better than any expensive foundations could, and it’ll also help you to fight the signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. You should also choose a moisturizer that has SPF included, as this will protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays, which are always present, even if it’s not a hot day.

Stay Hydrated

When it comes to looking after your appearance, making sure to drink enough water throughout the day plays a huge part. There’s nothing better than pure water for cleaning out the various toxins from your body and rehydrating you, giving you clearer skin and stronger hair and nails. Along with helping you to look your best, drinking plenty of water throughout the day will also improve your overall physical health and even increase your focus look at careers with an MBA. Drinking water throughout the day also helps to keep your teeth clean, avoiding plaque and keeping your pearly whites shining.

Eat Protein

Getting plenty of protein in your diet will significantly improve your overall health, appearance and your figure. High protein diets are some of the best for losing weight, even if you haven’t got the time to work out every day. Along with that, some high-protein foods such as many types of fish are also high in Omega 3 fatty acids, which can help to improve the condition of your skin, hair and nails, along with giving you more energy and reducing the appearance of dark circles and bags under the eyes.

Sleep Well

If you’re not getting enough sleep at night, this can soon begin to take its toll on your health and your appearance. Sleep deprivation can lead to skin problems, tired eyes, dark circles, and even early signs of aging! Getting enough sleep enables your body and your mind to recover from the stresses of the day.

Exercise

Getting enough physical exercise will help you to keep your figure maintained and improve your overall appearance. Exercise is not only effective for weight loss, it also helps to flush toxins out of your body through sweating, which will lead to clearer skin, less spots, and healthier hair and nails.

There’s no need to spend money on expensive beauty products to improve your appearance in college. These are all easy and inexpensive ways to naturally look your best.

From the Pros: Plastic Surgeon With Red Flags on Plastic Surgery Procedures

unnamed-4

The name of the game today in cosmetic surgery is fast and non-invasive. The reasons are obvious. Nobody wants to be bedridden out of work and off the social grid as they recover. Fast results of a thinner, tighter, younger look within an hour is very alluring. How many of these seemingly miracle procedures actually do what they claim to? We turned to board certified Philadelphia plastic surgeon Dr. Kirk Brandow to breakdown cosmetic surgery hype; which procedures are zeros not heroes.

Kybella

This injection is made of deoxycholic acid, which is actually produced by the body naturally to absorb fat. The synthetic version is a fat cell destroyer injected into the pocket of fat below the chin. So far this is the only location on the body for which Kybella is FDA-approved. Dr. Brandow cautions, “Kybella may shrink fat but it’s also an acid which could burn the skin and cause an abscess or an open wound if placed too close to the skin. Equally important is that it can also destroy the deeper tissues as well which could lead to a dent just under the chin.” Another issue with Kybella according to Dr. Brandow is potential for ‘redistribution of fat’ to other areas of the neck when people gain weight, over time. “The loss of fat in this focused, Kybella, injected spot will look odd when areas around it are heavier looking.”

Instabreast

If you’ve ever considered a breast augmentation, it’s not hard to understand the appeal of “test-driving” a pair of implants for a day. This “try it before you buy it” procedure called Instabreast takes about twenty minutes in office. A saline solution is injected into the breasts until they are enlarged to the desired size. Surgeons who offer the procedure claim that it takes the guesswork out of planning an augmentation by providing patients with 24 hours of experience with larger breasts.

“This is crazy!!” says Dr. Brandow. “How do you anesthetize the breast before you shoot in the saline? Wouldn’t this hurt? Just the thought of it would scare off my patients. Additionally, implants on top of the muscle versus under the muscle look different and the size you use on top looks totally different from the one you would use under the muscle.” Dr. Brandow questions the safety of injecting saline under the muscle in office with a local anesthetic. “I would say it’s a recipe for a punctured lung! Additionally, I would love to know how a surgeon inflates a young, tight skinned, A- cup woman who wants a full C- cup, without causing a lot of pain during that injection.”

Mesotherapy and Lipodissolve as a Fat Dissolver

Several cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists agree that if there is one procedure to avoid when shopping for a slimmer look, it’s one called lipodissolve, a shot that claims to dissolve away stubborn fat deposits. This shot is often part of “mesotherapy;” a shallow injection of a cocktail of substances using a fine needle. “There is really not a single scientific study to show that it definitely works,” says Dr. Brandow. Are these chemicals safe when injected into fat? What happens to this fat? Where does it go? Dr. Brandow feels lipodissolve is an ill-advised treatment. “This is a non-FDA approved use of a material called lipostabil, which can dissolve fat and other structures however, it can cause pain, swelling, hard lumps, ulceration of the skin, and contour irregularities. None of the pharmaceuticals used for injection are FDA approved.”

Laser Liposuction

It seems like everything that has the word “laser” in it today is perceived as a state-of-the-art breakthrough, but in this case, using laser to assist in liposuction is not necessarily so. Laser liposuction uses lasers to liquefy the fat before it is removed, making it easier to vacuum out and they may also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which results in firmer, tighter, and smoother skin. Lasers may also coagulate small blood vessels in the area, which translates to less bruising. What’s the downside? Dr. Brandow points out that, “There is greater risk of burning and therefore, pain. Laser liposuction, Smartlipo and similar procedures add both time and money to the typical technique.”

About Dr. Kirk Brandow

Dr. Kirk Brandow is a board certified plastic surgeon with practices in the Philadelphia metro area. Named a “Top Doc” in Plastic Surgery by Philadelphia Magazine as well as nationally recognized for one of America’s “Best Plastic Surgeons” of this decade, Dr. Brandow is a trusted expert who has developed many innovative, minimally invasive procedures for the face, body and skin. These procedures include the Boomer Lift™, the 48 Hour Facelift™, the Scarless Breast Implant, the Multilayered Micro-Lipo Augmentation, the Tumescent Technique for Liposuction and the CO2 Laser Blepharoplasty.

He has been featured on local, national and international television programs including 20/20, CNN’s Headline News, Good Morning America, ABC Action News, TV Globo and Telemundo to provide updates and opinions on the latest trends in cosmetic surgery. Dr. Brandow where he has spoken out on the controversial issues of cosmetic surgery, advising viewers to take a more responsible and more realistic approach to the latest fads and gimmicks in Cosmetic Surgery.

Dr. Brandow served as an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Aesthetic and Restorative Surgery as well as a preceptor for many live surgical training conferences where he helped teach other doctors advanced techniques in Cosmetic Surgery.

From the pros: 9 Things Your Dentist Wants You to Know

bios_Image_1453736598_tn

Dr. Caitlin Grimes

Most of us don’t exactly get fired up about a visit to the dentist. Often, we let those bi-annual appointments slide and wait to visit the dentist until we have a more serious problem. What many people don’t realize, however, is that regular dental visits and maintaining oral hygiene are closely tied overall health. You wouldn’t skip a visit to the cardiologist if your heart was bothering you, right? Well, the same goes for your dentist.
Dr. Caitlin Grimes at StoneCreek Dental Care has compiled a list of nine important things your dentist wants you to know so that you can achieve optimal oral and overall health:
1. Your mouth is full of bacteria — you MUST brush your teeth. It’s not something we like to think about, but our mouths are full of bacteria – some of which can be harmful to our teeth and overall health. Harmful bacteria erode teeth and contribute to periodontal (gum) disease, which is why brushing your teeth at least twice daily for two minutes is absolutely essential. Remember – brushing is vital, but if you overdo it you may damage your gums. Brush gently at a 45-degree angle to effectively remove the bacteria that causes plaque buildup and decay.

2. Flossing isn’t optional either. If you’re not flossing regularly, you really should be (and your dentist can tell if you aren’t). Flossing removes food debris and bacteria that gets stuck between teeth. Be sure to check with your dentist to make sure you’re flossing correctly!

3. Your dentist can detect issues early. This might seem overly obvious, but the best way to prevent dental pain is to visit your dentist. Many dental issues are not painful initially, so when you visit your dentist he or she can detect any minor issues before they turn into major ones. Your dentist can fill a small cavity, for example, before it has the chance to get infected and cause a painful tooth abscess.

4. Poor oral health contributes to poor overall health. Did you know that if you have gum disease you are much more likely to have a heart attack or stroke? This risk increases when those harmful bacteria travel through the bloodstream to the rest of the body and increase inflammation. Oral health can greatly impact your overall health, and vice versa.

5. Smoking will ruin your teeth. Aside from yellowing your teeth, smoking contributes to bad breath, receding gums and a dry mouth. A dry mouth is much more prone to harboring bad bacteria, leading to plaque buildup and tooth decay. Smoking also decreases your body’s ability to fight off infection in the mouth, and contributes to the development of oral cancer. The bottom line – kick that habit ASAP!

6. Change your toothbrush every three months. Over time, your toothbrush loses its effectiveness. The bristles become frayed and do not work as well as they once did, and the bad bacteria that lives in your mouth builds up on your toothbrush. If you have gum disease, you need to change your toothbrush more often — every four to six weeks. If you’ve been sick, it’s especially important to change your toothbrush afterwards to get rid of any germs.

7. Bleeding gums are usually not “normal.” Bleeding gums can be the result of several factors. You might be using a toothbrush with hard bristles and brushing too vigorously. Bleeding gums may also signal an improper flossing technique. At worst, bleeding gums are a sign of gum disease. Regardless of the cause, if your gums are bleeding be sure to ask your dentist about it!

8. There’s more to that regular dental visit than cleaning. Your dentist isn’t just there to clean your teeth and give you a brighter smile. During your regular dental visit, he or she will also check your mouth for signs of tooth decay, gum disease and oral cancer. These issues are much easier to treat if found early.

9. Your dentist is here to help you, not judge you. Some people do not visit the dentist because they are embarrassed about their teeth or an issue with their mouth. Don’t worry — your dentist has been highly trained in treating a variety of issues, and will be able to talk through any concerns you may have and discuss the appropriate treatment options.

With these nine things in mind, be sure to make and keep your regular dental appointments so you can take control of your dental and overall health. Every patient is different, so your dentist will work with you to address your individual needs and ensure you have the healthiest smile possible!

Top Ways to Put Together a Professional Wardrobe on a Tight Budget

Now that you’ve almost finished your master of education in learning, cognition and development degree it’s time to start thinking ahead to your future career. Because you will be working in a professional environment, professional business attire is necessary. The problem is that it can be rather expensive to build a wardrobe suitable for work.

Not to worry as we’ve got some great tips that you can use to build a professional and work appropriate wardrobe, even on your tight student budget. You’ll be able to show up for interviews looking polished and ready to get to work.

dressing for the wrokplace

Stick to the Staples

Before you get lured in by trendy designs, it’s important to pick up the staples. Any work appropriate wardrobe is built on a few key pieces that can be mixed and matched with other, less expensive pieces.

Your key pieces should be a couple pairs of good quality trousers in a neutral shade (black, grey, brown, or navy), and a blazer to match each pair. You don’t necessarily have to purchase the items as a “suit”, but sometimes that can prove to be cheaper. You will also want to pick up one knee length simple black dress that can be paired with one of the blazers and/or a blouse.

For these key pieces you want to pick items that don’t have prints and designs on them. These tend to be trendy so before you know it, they will be out of fashion. As well, they don’t always come off as professional.

Keep Shoes and Purses Neutral

When it comes to footwear and purses/bags you want to keep these neutral as well. There’s no need to have multiple pairs of shoes in every color of the rainbow. Use the rule of sticking to the staples and pick a pair of comfortable black or brown shoes. The same goes for your purse, a simple neutral colored bag is the best way to go.

Let Accessories Do the Talking

If your wardrobe of staples and neutrals feels a bit bland, there are inexpensive ways you can dress it up. Look to use accessories that add color and style. A fun necklace, a chunky cuff bracelet, drop earrings, these are the sorts of items that can totally change the look of your outfit.

Watch for Sales

And of course the last tip is to watch for sales. With the amount of sales, coupons, and promotions that stores offer, there is really no reason that you should be paying full price for anything. If you can shop off-season you’ll manage to save even more.

A Wardrobe You Feel Confident In

Building a wardrobe that is work appropriate will be a big step in landing your first job after completing your online MELCD degree program. There’s also the fact that when you’re dressed well, and you fit into the environment, you can’t help but feel confident and good about yourself. This is something that is sure to impress potential employers.
