Brandith Irwin, MD, Shares Melasma Secrets in a Recent Blog Entry on Cosmetic Dermatology Website, SkinTour.com

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) May 10, 2013

Every week, cosmetic dermatologist Brandith Irwin, MD, answers questions about skin care conditions, treatments and products from readers of her website, SkinTour.com. One of the questions Dr. Irwin answered this week provides information on melasma, a common issue in women.

Melasma is the brown splotchiness on the forehead, cheeks, upper lip, or jaw line that is triggered by hormones and light. While hormones stimulate the growth of cells that make brown pigment, natural light stimulates the production of even more brown pigment or melanin. According to Dr. Irwin, "You really have two problems, too many cells making brown pigment and light constantly stimulating those cells resulting in too much dark pigment."

Melasma usually shows up as brown spots or splotches on the forehead, cheeks, jaw line or upper lip. Especially common in women that are undergoing hormonal changes such as pregnancy, menopause, or even taking birth control, melasma can be difficult to treat once it gets started. If you think you may have signs of melasma, Dr. Irwin suggests your first step is finding a qualified dermatologist.

The most important tip from Dr. Irwin for women at home is, "Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! You will not have success treating melasma if you dont block light. Every time ultraviolet light hits these brown spots it makes them worse, that's why your sunscreen must block UVA as well as UVB." In addition to using certain types of UVA and UVB blocking sunscreens, she suggests that you double-up on the areas that have the most blotches with a mineral pigment sunscreen makeup like Colorescience, and finally, wear a hat.

Bleaching creams, microdermabrasion, and light peels can also help reduce discoloration. "If you are considering a laser treatment for melasma, it is imperative you see a dermatologist who is an expert with laser treatments because many lasers will actually make melasma worse," explains Dr. Irwin.

Unlike most prominent dermatologists, Brandith Irwin, MD has no financial ties to any skin care manufacturer or laser company. She does not sit on any boards, act as a spokesperson, accept any fees, or endorse any line of cosmetics. She is a board-certified dermatologist who practices in Seattle, WA, at the practice she founded, Madison Skin & Laser Center. Additionally, she has published multiple anti-aging books, the most recent titled, The Surgery-Free Makeover: All You Need To Know For Great Skin And A Younger Face.

Find Out Why Route One Pumpkins Skin Care Products Are Natural, and Free of Known Endocrine Disruptors, Chemicals Currently Implicated by a Recent WHO Study

Half Moon Bay, CA (PRWEB) March 13, 2013

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that may interfere with the bodys hormonal balance and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in both humans and wildlife. A wide range of substances, both natural and man-made, are thought to cause endocrine disruption, including pharmaceuticals, dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, DDT and other pesticides, and plasticizers such as bisphenol A. The greatest concern related to the disturbance of hormonal balance is the early onset of cancers, especially breast and prostate.(1) In a 2012 publication by the National Institute of Environmental Health Studies, endocrine disruption has also recently been implicated in a study of Autism by interupting oxytocin and thyroid hormone signaling pathways. (2)

Recently, on February 19th 2013, an international team of experts in a joint effort by by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme reported that evidence linking hormone-mimicking chemicals to human health problems has grown stronger over the past decade, becoming a global threat that should be addressed. The panel of 16 scientists from 10 nations found that endocrine-related diseases and disorders are on the rise, with emerging evidence for adverse reproductive outcomes and mounting evidence" for effects on thyroids, brains and metabolism. The study concludes that chronic disease worldwide is higher than ever because of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals.

Frankly, for BPA, the science is done. Flame retardants, phthalates the science is done, Professor R Thomas Zoeller of Umass, senior editor and senior writer for the paper said. We have more than enough information on these chemicals to make the reasonable decision to ban, or at least take steps to limit exposure. They dont stay in the environment long but people are exposed to them all the time so its the same effect... (3)

Phthalates mimic hormones and have been linked to numerous health problems, but remain legal. On Feb 2, a study quoted by the Daily Green was released that linked baby powder, lotion and shampoo to higher levels of phthalates in babies' bodies. To avoid phthalates, look for products -like Route One Pumpkins - labeled phthalate-free or read labels for their chemical names, or abbreviations: DBP (di-n-butyl phthalate) and DEP (diethyl phthalate) are often found in personal care products, including nail polishes, deodorants, perfumes and cologne, aftershave lotions, shampoos, hair gels and hand lotions. DEHP (di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate or Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) is used in PVC plastics, including some medical devices.BzBP (benzylbutyl phthalate) is used in some flooring, car products and personal care products. DMP (dimethyl phthalate) is used in insect repellent and some plastics.

Phytoestrogen: soybeans are the most significant dietary source of isoflavones, an class of phytoestrogen. Consumption of soy food or phytoestrogen supplements has been frequently associated with beneficial health effects, however the potentially adverse effects on development, fertility, and the reproductive and endocrine systems are likely under-appreciated. Soy and soy-derived products contain isoflavones that mimic the actions of estrogens and may exert adverse effects on male fertility and studies have shown decreased sperm count in men eating higher quantities of soy in their diet. It is not known whether there is a difference between consumption of organic/non-GMO soy and the more dominant genetically-modified soy grown in the US and subjected to higher use of pesticides. Sensitive populations such as pregnant women should weigh consumption carefully to avoid endocrine disruption.

BPA stands for bisphenol A. BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. In a February 2013 radio interview Director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Linda S. Birnbaum, PhD discussed the status of the research and how BPA can seep into food or beverages from containers that are made with BPA or into your body when you handle products made with BPA. To avoid BPA, avoid plastics with the recycled symbol 7 on the bottom or select plastics labeled BPA-free, use glass or other materials to store and reheat food and just say no to receipts and thermal papers, which commonly have BPA that is absorbed through your skin (use email options at ATMs, for example). A new study quoted by Rodale (publisher of Prevention magazine) supporting that theory suggests that humans also absorb BPA through the skin even after handling cash-register receipts for just a few seconds. (4) (5)

One problem concerning those studying endocrine-disrupting chemicals is the vast number of them about 800 are known and how they may interact with one another. Theyre in a variety of goods such as pesticides, flame retardants, plastics, cosmetics and canned foods and research has only touched the tip of the iceberg, according to the WHO report, stating that the vast majority of chemicals in current commercial use have not been tested at all. Several groups, including the National Institute of environmental health are working on testing methods. (6)

HairPlaceNYC Continues Tradition of Charity with Recent Donation of Human Hair Wig to Injured Iraqi Girl

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 16, 2013

HairPlaceNYC, a leading New York City salon specializing in hair care and hair replacement solutions, today announced it has continued its long-standing tradition of giving and philanthropy by donating a cut and styled 14" long hand-tied human hair wig to Teeba Furat Fadhil Marlowe, a courageous 11-year-old girl severely injured in Iraq. Located on the upper east side of Manhattan, HairPlaceNYC has offered a range of services such as cutting, coloring and hair styling for more than two decades. HairPlaceNYC is the first salon in New York City to offer both hair care and hair replacement solutions - all in one place.

When Teeba was just 19 months old, she sustained severe burns to her face, head and hands when an insurgent bomb detonated in Iraq near a taxi she was sharing with her father and three-year-old brother. In the explosion, Teeba's father suffered minor injuries, but her brother, Yousef, died on impact. Touched by Teeba's story, Barbara Marlowe, of Ohio, reached out to the family and made the case to bring the then five-year-old Teeba from Iraq to the United States for medical treatment. Under the guardian care of Barbara, Teeba, who now resides in Ohio, has undergone 17 ground-breaking surgeries to repair her burned skin and facial tissue, and has made great strides in both her appearance and self-esteem. However, since Teeba is unable to grow new hair, she is reliant on a natural-looking hair replacement solution.

"Our daughter, Teeba, came from Iraq when she was five years old, severely burned on her hands, face and head, leaving her terribly scarred with virtually no hair," exclaimed Barbara Marlowe. "Teeba recently completed her 17th surgery to repair the skin to her face and yet, the single most important thing to her, was to get hair. She's had a few wigs, and recently we had Andrew outfit her with a wig that has brought such joy and a huge smile to her beautiful face. Thank you, Andrew, for creating the perfect style, length and color for our little angel. This particular wig is lighter in weight and looks like she never lost a hair on her head. We are so very grateful. Andrew is a slice of heaven on Earth!"

"As soon as I heard about Teeba through Carliz Sotelo Teauge, CEO of BeautyandHair.com and Wigs.com, and her journey from Iraq to the United States and how important hair is to her, I knew I wanted to be involved to help her look and feel great," explained Andrew DiSimone, owner and hair stylist at HairPlaceNYC. "We sent Teeba a custom-made, 14" long human hair wig that we cut and styled at my salon in New York City. To help improve the wig fitment and her overall experience, we have invited Teeba and her family to visit HairPlaceNYC where we can fit her with a custom base using a mold of her head. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Teeba's guardian, Barbara, for allowing HairPlaceNYC to offer our hair replacement solutions and services for this great cause!"

AndrewDiSimoneWigs.com is the brainchild of veteran hair stylist and salon owner. Specializing in hair loss, Andrew designed and offers his exclusive line of wigs at the salon. Unlike other wigs, Andrew's line (and medical hair prostheses for cancer patients) is designed using the latest in graft technology, the best hair available, and are hand-tied and attached to Andrew's ultra-thin layered base for maximum comfort, durability and a natural look.

With more than 25 years in the business, DiSimone volunteers weekly at the American Cancer Society's NYC Hope Lodge to cut and style wigs for the Free Wigs Program. Through HairPlaceNYC, DiSimone also manages similar programs such as FreeWigsForKids.org and HairyGodmothers.com where you can sponsor a child wig and keep in touch with that child through their recovery and DonateWig.com where Andrew connects donors of wigs to the recipients in need of a wig who are less fortunate.

Recent Research Suggests that a Western-type Diet Negatively Impacts Ideal Aging, Making Appetite Suppressants Like Prescopodene Essential to Growing Old Gracefully

Australia (PRWEB) April 18, 2013

Eating a diet that contains a lot of fried and processed foods, sweets and high-fat dairy has long been touted as unhealthy. But, recent research reveals that looking at the situation holistically may be the key to helping people grow old in an ideal fashion, suggesting that appetite suppressants and weight loss supplements like Prescopodene may actually promote graceful aging.

In the May, 2013 edition of The American Journal of Medicine, a study was published in which 5,350 adults around the age of 51 were assessed based upon their dietary patterns; specifically, their adherence to the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI). Then, they were followed for 16 years to see how well they aged.

What they found is that the more the individuals ate a Western-type diet, which consists of high fat and high processed foods, the worse they aged. These individuals had higher rates of both cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular deaths, regardless of any other health issues they had otherwise.

Researchers contend that this means that instead of focusing only on one or two areas in a persons diet when youre looking at aging and mortality, it may be better to focus on healthy eating overall. Its the idea of looking at the big picture versus breaking diet down bit by bit. This suggests that weight loss supplements such as Prescopodene may help increase overall health levels and, subsequently, improve the aging process.

Prescopodene is natural weight loss supplement that helps individuals control their appetite, which results in choosing more nutritious food options and losing excess weight both of which appear to be detrimental to growing old in the best possible fashion.

About Prescopodene Nutritionals:

Prescopodene Nutritionals is helping people around the world lose weight, improve their health, and maximize their daily satisfaction. With a catalog of healthy living products that is winning awards and recognition, the company is delivering all-natural weight loss solutions to customers around the globe. Prescopodene Nutritionals is based in Australia and the USA and their CEO is Jack Smythe.

DietAssist responds to recent study that shows women are shamed into dieting

(PRWEB UK) 29 April 2013

The study, reported in the Mail Online on Monday, states that slender celebrities cavorting on the beach in bikinis make women feel insecure about their bodies.

The poll of 2,000 men and women, by supermarket Asda, found that women want to lose on average 11lb and as many as 82% intend to slim down by summer, and one in four are motivated to lose weight by bikini pictures.

However, the same percentages do not hold true for men as less than one in five men said they hope to lose weight by summer. Of men who do want to lose weight, nearly two-thirds said they wouldn't be changing their habits until a month before their holiday.

This week is when women are most likely to start their summer bikini diet, according to the study.

More than a quarter of women polled said seeing celebrity bodies gave them the incentive to diet and 15 per cent even admitted to decorating their fridge with celeb thinspiration pictures.

Meanwhile, those in their twenties confessed to crash dieting and using fad weight loss plans in a last minute bid to shape up.

DietAssist understand that motivation is the most important factor in losing weight successfully. There are some key motivating factors that are more successful than others. For example, recently separated men or women tend to be far more successful than someone who wants to lose weight for an existing partner. Obviously the need to get back into shape is a strong motivator so they can be successful on the relationship market.

In essence, self-image is a far greater motivator than general health or a partners feelings.

Paul Howard, from DietAssist, said Because we know that motivation is paramount to the successful dieter, we focus a large part of the DietAssist programme on keeping the motivation up. We are always being asked how to lose weight? and in a nutshell the answer is stay motivated. If the motivation stays high so does the amount of weight loss.

Give them one of the best gifts they will ever receive.

The DietAssist programme is the result of over 20 years experience of helping people to lose weight effectively, and uses the latest psychological techniques to avoid the self sabotage and demotivation that dieters commonly experience.

The DietAssist programme helps dieters strengthen their motivation and resolve, and creates the optimum psychological state for success. It is designed to work alongside any weight loss programme or sensible eating plan.

Symulast purports to reveal the truth about cellulite to its users.

Hint: it does not come in a bottle, and cannot be found at a medi-spa.

To this end, founder Joey Atlas claims to provide the answer in his TruthAboutCellulite (aka "Symulast", aka "Naked Beauty") program, which, among other things, includes an array of very specific exercises which target cellulite at its source.

Symulast is new and improved for 2013 and sells online only. So far this year, the program's sales have risen considerably on an upward trend, surpassing last year's zenith. Perhaps this is an indication of the verity of the program itself.
