Five Tips for Getting the Most Out of a Memorial Day Beach Vacation

Bolivia, NC (PRWEB) April 24, 2013

Memorial Day is a time for reflection and appreciation, but its also a time to let loose for a few days. Why not do both? North Carolinas Brunswick Islands is the place to be this time of year, and they have some tips to make the most out of a Memorial Day beach vacation.

1. Grill Something GreatNothing compares to the taste of fresh grilled seafood and steaks on a warm summer evening. In the Seafood Capital of the World, one is sure to find everything they need to cook up a meal the whole family will enjoy.

2. Tackle a New AdventureMemorial Day inspires energy and enthusiasm, so use the extra day to try something never done before. Dive into a new hobby, visit a site unseen or learn about something thats always been intriguing. You dont have to go far to discover whole worlds of activities that will kick your summer off right.

3. Prevent BurnoutFrom big, bulky sweaters to skinny jeans, everyones skin has been hiding from the sun for quite some time. Gorgeous sunny days are now here to stay, and as the suns warmth begins to radiate off the beaches, its good to be prepared.

Five Easy Tips to Help Prevent Skin Cancer: Saving Skin from the Endless Summer Sun

Pinellas Park, Fla. (PRWEB) April 30, 2013

Florida is the state of the endless summer sun. But that also puts residents at a higher risk of sunburns and much more. This May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and with an estimated 3.5 million cases of skin cancer diagnosed each year, Board Certified Radiation Oncologists at the Pinellas cancer treatment center, WellSpring Oncology, are spreading the message of prevention and awareness.

Skin cancer is affecting younger and younger people, explains Robert Miller, M.D., Board Certified Radiation Oncologist at WellSpring Oncology. Melanoma is the most common form of cancer for people ages 25-29. This is a disease you have to prevent from day one. Just one blistering sunburn in youth more than doubles your risk of melanoma.

But Dr. Miller isn't suggesting skipping the beach entirely, just to be more prepared when heading out with these five tips.

1. Check the Clock: The summer sun gives off the most UV rays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dr. Miller suggests finding shade or staying indoors during these hours.

You don't have to be laying out to get a sunburn, even walking to and from your car can expose your skin to UV rays, Dr. Miller explains.

2. Block the Burn: No matter what time of day it is remember to block the burn with sunscreen.

We tell our patients at WellSpring Oncology to use SPF 30 for any outdoor activity. This will keep out about 97 percent of the sun's UVA and UVB rays and give you a safe way of enjoying the warm weather, Dr. Miller says.

Sunscreen should be applied one-half hour before going outside, giving the skin time to absorb it. Because sunscreen tends to be broken down over time by the sun, and rubbed or washed off with sweating and water exposure, it should be reapplied at least every two hours outdoors, and immediately after swimming or heavy sweating. At least one ounce (two tablespoons) is needed to cover the entire body surface.

3. Top off Your Look: Hats aren't just for fashion, according to Dr. Miller. Wide-brim hats provide protection for the ears, nose, shoulders and scalp from sunburns.

Shielding your eyes from the sun is also crucial to preventing any UV damage. So don't forget the sunglasses! Dr. Miller warns.

4. No Tanning Beds: Many used to think tanning beds were the safe way to get that summer glow, says Dr. Miller. But now we know there is no safe tan.

The Skin Cancer Foundation warns indoor tanners are 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma than those who have never tanned indoors. As a safe alternative, Dr. Miller suggests opting for spray-on tan instead.

5. Check the Mirror: It's important to know your own risk factors, explains Dr. Miller.

That includes fair skin, family history and prior blistering sunburns. WellSpring Oncology encourages self-exams by canvasing the skin and looking for atypical moles or freckles and documenting any changes.

The faster we catch the cancer, the more likely we'll be able to eradicate it completely, Dr. Miller says.

The good news is advances in radiation therapy have revolutionized treatment of skin cancer.

Our team uses a High Dose Rate (HDR) technology that cuts sessions down to just six weeks, Dr. Miller explains. Unlike traditional options, like Mohs surgery, radiation therapy leaves little to no scarring and offers a reduced recovery time.

We want our patients to enjoy a healthy life, explains Dr. Miller. By following these five simple steps, you can still safely enjoy the outdoors year-round!

Get Ready for the Rainy Days of Summer: Five Signs of Water Damage to Residential Roofing

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) May 28, 2013

Water can be one of the biggest and most costly sources of damage to a home. Ice, hail and wind-driven rain are destructive forces that can ravage a roof, splinter wood, and expose vulnerabilities in siding and stucco. As a professional roofing contractor and host of In the House with Ken & Jared home improvement radio show, Jared Mellick encounters extreme water damage on a regular basis. If caught early, moisture intrusion may result in the need for minimal repair. However, because the average homeowner is not prone to climbing up on the roof or frequenting his attic space, many undiscovered water leaks turn into full roof replacement jobs, which can average ten to fifteen thousand dollars.

According to Mellick, here are several signs of potential water damage that homeowners can watch for to avoid costly roof and reconstruction repairs:

(PRWEB) June 04, 2013

Five Star Vein Institute recently announced that the practice now offers the Veinwave treatment.

Five Steps for Better Skin Presented by Beauty Research

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) June 07, 2013

The problems that can plague modern women's faces are numerous. From signs of aging to hyperpigmentation to chronic dehydration to acne, dermatological concerns often pose ongoing beauty challenges for sufferers; however, beautiful, healthy skin is possible for all women. By adopting healthy skin care regimens and committing themselves to completing them daily, women can greatly improve the texture and tone of their skin and minimize imperfections. The latest article by the beauty blog BeautyResearch.com Five Steps for Better Skin discusses the essential steps that must be present in a skin care regimen to promote a healthy complexion.

Impurities are a major contributor to many dermatological concerns. Excess sebum can clog the pores and give rise to acne blemishes or cause the pores to stretch. Irritants can leave the skin inflamed and red. Environmental pollutants that contain free radicals can damage the skin cells and worsen fine lines and wrinkles. What can a woman do to limit the effects of impurities? What skin care products purify the complexion without over-drying the skin? To find out, visit BeautyResearch.com or click

The acid-base balance of the complexion plays a large role in the health of the skin. When this natural pH balance becomes disturbed, the skin can become overly dry or excessively oil. Many skin care problems from acne blemishes to hypersensitivity can be traced back to the pH of the complexion, but many women fail to realize the importance of keeping their skin balanced. Is it possible to restore the skin to its ideal pH, and if so, how? What products are recommended for those concerned about acidic or alkaline skin? To find out, visit BeautyResearch.com or click

While some dermatological needs are universal, others are unique to individual complexions. Just as a patient must take a regimen of specific medicines to fight multiple medical conditions and illnesses, to have truly healthy skin, women must customize their skin care routines to address their specific dermatological concerns. In what ways can a woman personalize her skin care regimen? What types of products are the best for addressing problems like fine lines, skin discoloration and collagen loss? Are there specific brands that a woman should use? To find out, visit BeautyResearch.com or click

Moisture is essential to the health of every complexion. Without proper hydration, the complexion becomes more prone to wrinkling and can develop symptoms like flaking and redness. Every minute of the day, the effects of evaporation steal moisture from the skin tissue, making skin dehydration a common problem among women of all skin types. How can a woman replenish her skin's natural supply of moisture? When is the best time during a daily skin care regimen to address the complexion's moisture needs?

Hair Transplant Clinic Recommends These Five QuickFix Factors That Are Causing Female Hair Loss

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 15, 2013

Hair loss is considered an experience typically associated with men and male pattern baldness. However, some 35 million women in the US experience genetic hair loss (according to the American Hair Loss Association), not including those women who suffer from hair loss due to non-genetic factors such as pregnancy, hormones and stress. Medical Director Dr. John Kahen M.D. of Beverly Hills Hair Restoration offers these five quick-fix hair loss causes that can be controlled right now. Female hair loss is not as simple of a diagnosis as male hair loss but it is also one of the most important.

Female hair loss can occur due to many factors, making it very important to determine the causes behind the hair loss before exploring possible treatments. The hair transplant clinic in Los Angeles recommends women look to these five potential causes of female hair loss that they can fix right now before the hair loss gets worse:

1. Telogen Effluvium

This is a form of diffuse hair loss shedding where an exceptional amount of hair goes from the growth phase into the resting phase, and sheds a few months after.

How to fix it: Telogen Effluvium can be diagnosed by looking at the family history of the patient, or by a scalp analysis and biopsy. It can be caused by a number of factors including stress, hormone changes and pregnancy. Typically, hair loss from pregnancy is not permanent, and stress-related hair loss lessens when the stress levels are under control.

2. Female Pattern Alopecia

Female Pattern Alopecia is known as a genetic form of hair loss that comes from either the father's or mother's side of the family. Typically, the hair is lost in a diffuse pattern where it occurs over the entire scalp. A less common form of this is in a pattern similar to male pattern baldness.

How to fix it: Female Pattern Alopecia that is in a diffused pattern can be treated with topical treatments and hair loss prevention products, such as products containing minoxidil or more natural hair loss shampoos, conditioners and treatments. If the hair loss is in a pattern similar to the way men lose hair, typically the woman is a good candidate for hair transplant surgery.

3. Traction Alopecia

When a woman wears her hair too tightly on her head, it can sometimes lead to hair loss called traction alopecia. When the hair is constantly being pulled back tightly, it can eventually cause enough breakage to cause the hair to fall out. Other ways this can occur is with such beauty enhancers like hair extensions that can weigh down the hair, causing it to break and thin over time.

How to fix it: If there hasn't been enough significant damage to the hair follicles, typically if the woman stops wearing it too tight or removes the hair extensions, the hair loss should reverse. This depends on how long the hair has been pulled or the hair extensions have been used.

4. Nutritional Deficiencies

Nutritional deficiencies such as being low in iron or certain vitamins can sometimes lead to hair loss. A person who is low in folic acid, Vitamin B (such as biotin) or iron can experience hair loss, as well as other dietary factors such as a protein deficiency.

How to fix it: Hair loss from nutritional deficiencies varies from person to person and it's recommended to check vitamin levels and look at the person's diet to determine if they are lacking certain nutrients that are responsible for the hair loss. Once these deficiencies are taken care of, the symptoms should subside.

5. Stress

Stress does have physical implications on the body if not controlled. Normally, every day stress typically will not cause the hair to fall out. However, the type of stress that causes abnormal sleep pattern or a loss or change of appetite can increase certain stress hormones that cause hair loss.

How to fix it: If the stress can be controlled, the hair loss should subside. Once the hair loss sufferer is able to get their stress levels under control so it does not affect their physical health, this is the first step in stopping the hair loss in its tracks before it becomes worse.

Beauty Research Releases List of Top Five Diets

Five Beauty Pranks You Can Stop Believing on April Fools Day

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

It seems there are as many beauty myths as there are pranks on April Fools Day. The problem with most beauty myths is that they arent all that funny where the health of skin is concerned. Also, not amusing is how many people are fooled by common beauty industry pranks (so every day can feel like April Fools Day at the cosmetics counter).

Cosmetics Cop Paula Begoun and her research team set things right with the following myth-busting facts. Take a closer look at these common beauty pranks and find out why theyre bogus:

1. MYTH: Parabens as preservatives are harmful. This is one a lot of people believe, yet it has been proven false by verified scientific research from the European Union, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan the list goes on. Besides, plants like carrots or blueberries are natural sources of parabens (and there arent any complaints about those, are there?). Let go of this one because parabens are not hurting skin or threatening anyone's health.

2. MYTH: Alcohol-based products arent bad for skin and can actually be helpful. Yes, alcohol helps ingredients penetrate, but so do lots of other, gentler ingredients. Besides, alcohol gets ingredients into skin faster by destroying the substances that keep skin healthy (and act as a barrier to the outside world). There are plenty of alternative ingredients that dont have the harmful long-term consequences of alcohol-based serums, moisturizers or toners. Find the best alcohol-free products for all skin types here.

3. MYTH: There are miracle ingredients that replace lasers, Botox or other cosmetic procedures. The infomercials for these products are so seductive! Cindy Crawfords anti-aging melon extracts, lab-engineered peptides, 50% Vitamin C serums while more come with incredible claims but heres the truth: no skin-care product can have results that best or equate to a cosmetic procedure (Botox doesnt even work like Botox if it isnt injected). So if a skin-care products claim sounds too good to be true, its probably a beauty prank (and a waste of money, too).

4. MYTH: Everyone needs an eye cream. Nope, this one is 100% false. There is nothing unique about a product labeled eye cream, because products designed for the face use the same types of ingredients, but offer more product for the money. Be savvy and use a good serum or moisturizer as a double-duty beauty product for the face and eye area. Need extra-rich moisture for the eyes? No problem, just look for an extra-rich facial moisturizer. See our top picks for moisturizers here.

5. MYTH: There are products that can get rid of cellulite or stretch marks. It would be wonderful for women everywhere if this were true! However, if it were true, then who would have cellulite or stretch marks? The cosmetics industry, and many doctors and aestheticians, want to sell products and/or provide treatments (especially expensive ones) claiming to eliminate stretch marks or cellulite, but unfortunately its just another myth. Stretch marks and cellulite develop far under the surface of skin, beyond where topically applied creams or gels can reach. The same goes for preventative creams or treatments; they cant prevent a thing (except possibly dry skin). So what does work for cellulite and stretch marks? Topically, look to prescription tretinoin (brand name: Retin-A or Renova) or talk to a dermatologist about laser treatments to improve the appearance of both concerns.
