Summer Shaving Style: Do You Go Bald or Burly?
To me, shaving is an interesting aspect of being a female, since it is more of a beauty routine than a hygienic or health necessity. For some cultures and women, shaving is neither interesting and nor necessary. However, in our society, it is noticed. For some, hair on the face or under the arms can be embarrassing and women seek to have it removed.
Oily Hair Remedies
There are an average of about 100,000 hairs on a person’s head, according to Teens Health. For each hair shaft, there are three layers. The outermost layer is called the cuticle, and it is a protective layer for the other two layers. When hair has a shiny appearance, it appears healthy. Sebum is the natural oil on the hair and covers straight hair better, making it easier to appear shiny. However, an abundance of sebum can give hair an oily appearance.
Epidural Side Effects in Pregnancy
Epidural analgesia is the most popular form of pain relief for laboring moms in the United States. The medication is given continuously through a catheter that is inserted in the epidural space in the back. It provides effective pain relief during labor and birth, but it can have numerous side effects. All risks and benefits of an epidural should be carefully considered before a decision is made.
What Are the Treatments for Glycolic Acid Burn?
Glycolic acid peels, made from sugar cane, peel off the outermost layer of skin to lessen the appearance of wrinkles, skin discolorations and to treat severe acne. You can get these treatments in your doctor’s office or use an at-home product that is not quite as strong. The peels burn off old skin, so minor redness similar to a common sunburn is expected after treatment. In rare cases, more serious burns or complications can occur.
Cosmetic Surgery Treatments for Stretch Marks
Stretch marks, medically called striae, usually appear after rapid stretching of the skin, according to MedlinePlus and the Mayo Clinic. Moms are especially prone to stretch marks, either caused by pregnancy or the resulting weight changes. Many creams and other treatments that are sold over-the-counter are ineffective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks. If they do not go away over time and the appearance disturbs you, you might investigate some of the available cosmetic surgeries that can help eliminate stretch marks.
