The Truth About Beauty

Mastering the Business of Aesthetics seminar! This weekend I went to a seminar covering medical aesthetics. During the entire session, we learned techniques for skin rejuvenation and more. However, the greatest realization was that what we find beautiful is simply a means to guarantee our survival and spreading of our genes.

The Phases of Aging

Our Teens When I was in my teens, I used to look at the mirror and admire without ever imagining that the signs of aging could slowly appear in our faces. At that age, being 28 was already old.

Where Did Those Spider Veins Come From?

Many people are upset about the appearance of varicose and spider veins. Many times, these veins are formed by weak or damaged valves in the body. These valves usually prevent blood from flowing backward as it goes through your legs on its way to the heart. When they are not functioning well, blood can collect in the veins. In addition, exposure to the sun, hormone changes, and injuries can all cause these little veins. Some other factors that increase the possibility of these veins showing up are age, heredity, standing for long, sitting for long, and crossing your legs (lack of movement as discussed last week), obesity, pregnancy,...
