The primary reasons why the skin loses its firmness are the natural aging process, dehydration, and damage due to free radicals. During the natural aging process, the skin begins to produce keratin, elastin, and collagen at slower rates and in smaller quantities. Each of these is necessary to maintain firm skin.
Keratin helps to keep the epidermis (first layer of the skin) strong, hydrated, and firm. Collagen and elastin protect the dermis (second layer of the skin) and maintain its firmness and elasticity. As less keratin, elastin, and collagen are produced, the skin loses its firmness and the ability to remain hydrated properly. Additionally, the layers of skin become thinner, causing them to lose moisture at a faster rate.
If sufficient water isn't provided to the body each day, it becomes dehydrated, causing the skin to lose its plump texture. Any type of damage that injures the skin can lead to the loss of its firmness. Environmental pollutants and UV rays can weaken the skin, causing it to become less elastic and firm.
A number of at-home remedies have been used to re-instill the firmness of the skin, encouraging its elasticity and ability to protect itself from the premature signs of aging. Eating fruits and vegetables provides the antioxidants and vitamins needed to help fight skin oxidation, a process that causes the skin to sag. Home recipes for facial masks are often used to tighten the skin. One example is a mask made from egg whites.
Once you begin to lose the firmness of your skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and creases begin to appear. A variety of clinical treatments are available including: collagen induction, photo rejuvenation, appearance medicine, and facelifts.
Also known as dermal rolling, collagen induction therapy attempts to encourage an increase in the production of collagen by using a dermal roller containing micro-needles to inflict small holes into the skin to stimulate collagen.
Photo rejuvenation involves a process during which high-energy light is pulsed through the skin of the face, back of the hands, or décolletage in order to encourage the production of collagen.
Appearance medicine refers to a number of medical procedures that are designed specifically to improve the appearance of the face through various procedures including dermal fillers, Botox®, and microdermabrasion.
Surgical and non-surgical facelifts tighten sagging skin in order to encourage enhanced firmness along with a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines.
The daily application of face lotions and creams containing alpha hydroxy acids, retinoids, and vitamin C can help to re-instill the firmness of the skin. A number of excellent products are available that you can use right from the comfort of your own home. It is often recommended that you use upward strokes to apply any facial cream or lotion.

I would like to begin by thanking the Helsinki Commission for inviting me to this briefing today.
I want to begin my remarks by stating my commitment to balance and objectivity. I have the mixed fortune of having a fairly high profile in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia and I try to use that status to be constructively critical. Governments in particular can react badly to this, but I hope they are gradually learning that constructive criticism from Western experts is a fact of life as they aspire to join Euro-Atlantic structures.
My views are generally in line with the consensus view you get from reports by Freedom House (represented here by Chris Walker), the State Department Human Rights Report, European Union progress reports, OSCE, Transparency International, Human Rights Watch, and other organizations monitoring this region.
I would summarize this view as being that in terms of democracy all three South Caucasus countries are, to a greater or lesser degree, closer to the Russian model of a one-party state with "managed democracy" than to the European democratic model. Within the spectrum, Azerbaijan is the most authoritarian and Georgia the most democratic, with Armenia somewhere in between. I would argue this has been the case since the mid-1990s.
I think it is important to stress that at home none of the three governments make a strong pitch to be democratic. If they talk up their achievements to their own electorate it is generally in terms of successful state-building, service provision, law and order, and so on. Conversations about democracy are more likely to take place with foreign interlocutors or in foreign capitals at events like this one.
A system has developed which you could call a "one-party system by consent" whereby the ruling party strives to govern with the consent of the governed, but it is hard to conceive of a scenario in which the governing party gives up power willingly. It is still hard to imagine even Georgia holding an election as free as the one we saw in Serbia last weekend where the favorite candidate and incumbent was unseated by an opposition challenge.
In fact, since independence we have not seen a single election in Armenia, Azerbaijan, or Georgia in the last 20 years in which an incumbent has lost power or the governing party has lost its majority. Ironically, the freest elections in these countries in recent times happened right at the end of the Soviet era in 1990 and 1991.
Elections are important and they provide a kind of health check on the state of democracy in these countries. The coming elections in Georgia are an especially big test for that country—they are the most important elections since 2003 and how they go will in many ways define the next phase of Georgia's development.
But I also want to argue here that we should not focus too exclusively on elections. We are seeing a phenomenon whereby electoral campaigns are being conducted much more cleanly, but this masks the fact that we are seeing a brief democratic improvement for a couple of months after several years of a much more restrictive environment.
There is a bigger systemic issue here about creating a more pluralistic environment, where different parts of society feel they have a stake in the political process. The issue is not about hoping to see government replaced with opposition—if they were able to take power, many opposition parties would replicate the same system with themselves at the center. It is about widening the whole political space.
In the brief time remaining I want to highlight two systemic issues which I think it is worth outsiders focusing on.
The first is that in all three countries there is a big gap between the capital and the rest of the country. In Azerbaijan there is a huge difference between the situation in Baku, where it is possible to hold meetings on controversial issues and publish opposition newspapers, and a place like Nakhichevan where almost no civic activity is tolerated at all. In Armenia again, there is a fairly lively political culture in Yerevan, but a much more oppressive environment in the regions. The sharpest differences may be in Georgia. Tbilisi is in many ways comparable to a free and democratic Central European capital, but there is a very different situation in the provinces. Opposition activists complain of harassment and there is strong pressure to vote for the governing party at election time. You see this in visual terms: if you go out to the villages you see everywhere the number '5' painted as a graffito on walls and public buildings. This is the number on the ballot that the governing party, the United National Movement, had in the last election and is entitled to have again.
So I would argue as outsiders who want to promote democratic standards, we need different strategies for the capital and the regions.
The other issue I want to draw attention to is the state of the media which I think is by any measure a long way short of European standards. The media and in particular television, which is the overwhelmingly dominant medium of news coverage, shape the political narrative in favor of the governing administration.
This is a subject dear to me, as I worked for many years for an NGO, the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, supporting independent journalists in the region and on my visits to the region I see my former colleagues and the huge problems they face.
Suffice it to say that in Freedom House's recent Global Press Freedom table for 2012 out of 197 countries, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia all came in the bottom half of the rankings. Armenia was in 149th place, a rank above Angola and one below Pakistan. Azerbaijan was in 172nd place, alongside Russia and Zimbabwe, Georgia improved on its position from last year but was still in 111th place, on an equal footing with Bangladesh, Kenya, and Mauritania.
In Armenia it is a case of "one step forward, one step back." The OSCE gave a fairly positive verdict on political parties' access to television coverage in the recent election. But pro-government TV channels still dominate the airwaves. The independent channel A1+ is still off the air and another independent channel, Gala in Gyumri, has faced persistent problems.
There appear to be fewer cases of physical violence against journalists but there has been a big increase in lawsuits by politicians against opposition newspapers or news agencies. There were 37 libel cases in 2011, 30 of them are ongoing. The investigative news website Hetq is the subject of several of these cases. Given the state of the Armenian judiciary, there is reason to be concerned that this has become an instrument of government pressure on critical reporting.[1]
In Azerbaijan, the media situation is particularly bad. Again, pro-government television dominates the airwaves. Foreign radio stations, such as Radio Liberty, lost their FM frequencies in 2008.
It is a very difficult environment to be an independent journalist. There have been a number of disturbing cases this year. Two journalists from the regional television station Xayal TV, Vugar Gonagov and Zaur Guliev, were detained in March in the town of Quba and have not yet been released.
Also in March, the investigative journalist Khadija Ismail, who has been researching government corruption, was targeted with a blackmail attempt in connection with her private life. In April my former colleague Idrak Abbasov was savagely beaten by security guards when investigating a story about property rights and deportations.[2]
Obviously we hope all these cases will get properly investigated.
Finally, in Georgia, the situation is definitely better, but there are still many problems. Again television dominates the news market. There are television channels with an opposition slant, such as Maestro which broadcasts in Tbilisi and the new Channel 9, funded by opposition leader Bidzina Ivanishvili. But two pro-government channels, Rustavi-2 and Imedi, are by far the richest, most watched, and most influential media outlets. They get around 90 per cent of the advertising market. And every night they provide the government with extremely favorable coverage.
A law was passed last year by the Georgian parliament which has thrown light on the ownership of these two channels. That is useful but it has not thus far resulted in any changes in the ownership structure of the channels.
But do we really know that the television news coverage is coordinated from above? Well, in March this year, Transparency International Georgia published an interesting little piece of research on a news story about the death in police custody in the town of Khashuri of a man named Solomon Kimeridze. Opposition activists alleged foul play but the authorities denied it. On the evening news on March 2, the three main channels in Georgia, all broadcast news reports saying that the family of the dead man, Mr. Kimeridze, were irritated with the behavior of opposition activists of Mr. Ivanishvili's coalition.[3]
Transparency International showed that all three channels used almost identical language and the same pictures in their news reports. The conclusion from this is fairly clear.
I don't way to be a complete doomsayer about Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. There are positive developments. But I do believe that if we want to see more than just incremental change and a bigger change in their political culture, we need to look at more than just the election campaigns and focus on some of the more fundamental issues in the political culture.

Affecting over 13 million Americans, rosacea occurs as a result of elevated levels of immune proteins. The manifestations of rosacea includes red face, facial flushing and blemishes resembling acne breakouts.
Reducing stress, limiting alcohol and caffeine, avoiding spicy foods and wearing sun protection can reduce the symptoms of rosacea. Topical creams with azelaic acid, niacinamide and green tea can also help. Always check with your dermatologist.
It's a condition that's sometimes mistaken for acne. Rosacea is a skin disorder that affects over 13 million Americans. Unlike acne, a skin disease most common in teenagers and young adults, rosacea is more likely to affect middle-aged and older adults between the ages of 30 and 60. This frustrating condition is varied in its manifestations, but people who have it frequently complain of a red face, facial flushing and blemishes that closely resemble acne breakouts. As you'll soon see, this condition can manifest with signs and symptoms not typically seen with acne.
Rosacea can be divided into four degrees based on its signs and symptoms. Not everyone who has this condition will progress to all of these stages or experience all of the signs and symptoms.
During the first phase, frequent blushing and transient facial redness may be the only signs of the condition. At this juncture, a person typically experiences skin irritation and redness when they use certain makeup or beauty products. At this point, he or she may think it's an allergic reaction and change personal care products, which usually does little to improve the symptoms.
During the second stage of rosacea, facial redness becomes more prominent, especially around the nose and the inner portion of the cheeks. Superficial blood vessels on the surface of the skin dilate, enlarge and form thin red lines on the face which can be difficult to camouflage even with makeup. These dilated blood vessels are known as telangiectasias. At this point, the redness usually still comes and goes and is often aggravated by soaps, cleansers, creams and cosmetics.
As the condition progresses to the third phase, the facial redness deepens and becomes more persistent. Dilated blood vessels on the face also increase in number. At the same time, red pustules and pimples appear that resemble those of acne.
During the fourth and most advanced degree of rosacea, the facial redness and other symptoms worsen and the eyes may become bloodshot and irritated, a condition known as ocular rosacea. In some people the nose takes on a swollen, red and bumpy appearance called rhinophyma. In the latter phases of the condition, the skin can become thickened and rough with a texture similar to that of an elephant. Needless to say, rosacea can be a disfiguring condition that causes a great deal of mental anguish. That's why it's important to diagnose and treat the signs as early as possible.
Until recently, the cause of rosacea has been somewhat of a mystery. In 2007, a team of scientists discovered that people with the condition overproduce proteins that trigger inflammation. Everyone has proteins that help to protect the skin against viruses and bacteria that cause infection. People with rosacea have elevated levels of these immune proteins. In addition, they have higher levels of enzymes that cause proteins to become active. When too many skin proteins are activated, inflammation can follow.
A number of factors can trigger and worsen the symptoms of rosacea . The list of possible triggers is long, and they aren't necessarily the same for every person. Some of the most common ones are exposure to the sun, emotional stress, heat, wind, strenuous exercise, cold winds, sudden changes in temperature and alcohol consumption. Other common triggers are caffeinated beverages, spicy foods, medications and cosmetic products.
To deal with these triggers and keep symptoms at bay, it's important to avoid sun exposure and rapid temperature changes. Regular use of a mineral-based sunblock made for sensitive types is helpful since the sun's rays frequently aggravate the condition. It also helps to stay away from spicy foods and alcohol. Some people find food journals useful for identifying foods that can worsen symptoms.
Since cosmetics and beauty products can aggravate the symptoms of rosacea, dermatologists suggest that patients with the condition use products that are hypoallergenic and formulated for sensitive types. Mineral makeup is a good choice since it often doesn't contain ingredients that can irritate the skin and trigger flare ups. Mineral cosmetics also often contain titanium oxide and zinc oxide that block the sun's rays.
Dermatologists frequently prescribe the antibiotic tetracycline or its derivative doxycycline for treating rosacea. This is frequently combined with the topical medical metronidazole gel. The combination of the two treatments is effective for reducing the number of bumps, pimples and redness, although they won't improve the appearance of dilated blood vessels. These may require laser or pulsed light therapy.
Another topical therapy, azelaic acid cream also reduces the number of bumps and pimples while alleviating redness. Azelaic acid comes from barley, wheat and rye and appears to be as effective as metronidazole gel for rosacea.
Are there non-prescription treatments for rosacea that work? One small but promising study showed that women with the condition who used a cream containing green tea extract twice a day had fewer pimples and pustules than those who used a placebo. Another study showed that niacinamide, a B vitamin, improved the symptoms of rosacea when applied topically. Both of these creams work by reducing inflammation. Before using a cream that contains green tea extract or niacinamide, check with a dermatologist since some products contain other ingredients that can aggravate rosacea.
Antibiotics along with topical creams and gels play a role in treating rosacea, but the condition can be improved by identifying and eliminating triggers that bring on the symptoms. Take steps to reduce stress, limit the use of alcohol and caffeinated beverages, avoid spicy foods and always wear sun protection when outdoors.
Choose a gentle, glycerin-based soap to reduce skin irritation, and follow with a mineral-based sunscreen. Stay away from facial scrubs or creams containing alpha-hydroxy-acids or vitamin C in order to reduce skin irritation. Consider using a cream that contains niacinamide or green tea extract. If these options don't work, antibiotics and prescription topical creams are an option that works well for many people.
Rosacea presents many daily challenges, but it can be successfully treated when diagnosed early, and that's good news for anyone with this common skin condition.

Ireland : Michelin's recommendations
The Emerald Isle sparkles in infinite shades of green. This land of steep mountains with strange rock formations, peat bogs covered with flowers, tranquil lakes and green meadows has been the inspiration for many passionate odes from its artists. Blending its Celtic and Christian roots, Irish culture is teeming with both elves and saints.
Nowadays Ireland seems far from the description that Chateaubriand gave of it in his day: 'England's dinghy' that would be lost at sea if ever it were cut off from the 'mother ship'. The age-old myths that shaped this magical place were rekindled in 1921 by the political troubles that divided Erin the green into two entities, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The '' Celtic Tiger'' joined the European Union in 1972 and has played its tourism card well, with the help of its picture post-card panoramas. The incredible tumulus at Newgrange, north of Dublin, is as extravagantly impressive as the majestic, northerly Giant's Causeway. And people still love to listen to music and go dancing in pubs around a pint of Guinness or a nice glass of whiskey.

In conjunction with the Delaware Museum of Natural History's special exhibit Rainforest Adventure, Chadds Ford, Pa. based artist Robert P. Horan, has created a four-panel stained glass piece that will be on display through Jan. 6.
The four glass panels are ¾ scale and depict a rainforest scene with animals such as the jaguar, kinkajou, white-tailed trogon, and scarlet macaw, as well as plants such as the blue orchid. Each panel is made up of two or three layers of glass, created at different temperatures, and using various paints and oils.
Horan has been creating works of stained glass for more than ten years, getting his start after suffering a back injury and needing something to occupy his time. The Delaware Museum of Natural History is located at 4840 Kennett Pike, Wilmington. For more information, call (302) 658-9111 or visit delmnh.org.

Mermaid LalaBy amandakoates on 4/12/2013 11:49:48 AM
Mermaid La La was fantastic at my daughter's 5th Birthday party last weekend. She was extremely professional ,polite and had the kids ( both boys and girls) enraptured with magic tricks and games. Many parents at the event also asked after her details and how I found her. I would happily recommend her to others
Fairy LaLa LandBy Liz on 3/12/2013 5:01:34 PM
I contacted Fairy LaLa Land to organise a Christmas Elf to entertain 17 children at a christmas party. The "Elf" was fantastic!! As soon as she arrived (in a great costume), she fully entertained the children for the entire time she was there. The kids had a great time and the adults were able to chat in peace whilst she was there. I would highly recommend them!

Absolutely fantastic. Fairy La La had the girls enthralled with her performance & games for my daughter, Claudia's, 4th birthday in Jun 2013. The experience far surpasses any other fairies / princesses I have seen. Also highly recommended the addition of Bob the Buccaneer & his ballon animal skills, both the boys & girls loved this. Highly recommended.
Thanks Fairy La La!By Libby on 28/06/2013 2:17:35 PM
Fairy La La did a fantastic job entertaining at my daughter's 5th Birthday Fairy Party in June 2013. There was magic, parachute games, bubbles, dancing, face painting... The kids were mesmerised and the parents had time for a coffee or two! I have seen two different fairies at kids parties and Fairy La La was certainly a class above the other fairy.

This amazing toy was named after the ladder that Jacob saw as described in the Bible. As Jacob lay sleeping he saw angels going up and down a ladder that reached all the way to heaven!
Holding this toy by the end block and tipping in forward to touch the second block makes the next block appear to tumble down the others. Tip this same block back to upright and another block "tumbles" down. See any angels? You will see one of the most puzzling actions! You can also create many shapes with the blocks, i.e. dog, snake, fish, letters, etc. 13" long.
Picture shows 2 Jacob's Ladders, you will receive 1. Comes with an instruction sheet. Wood is natural, ribbon colors vary. Made in U.S.A.!

HSBC Trade Services has continued to play a key role in international trade since 1865, when Hongkong Bank, the founding member of the HSBC Group, was established to finance the growing trade between China, Europe and the United States.
Today with almost 140 years of international trade experience and the ability to combine global reach and local knowledge we are ideally placed to partner your business. Our network spans over 10,000 offices in 82 countries and territories and is supported by advanced technology and award - winning expertise.

HSBC plays an award-winning role in international trade, providing expert advice and secure options backed by a global distribution network in Europe, Asia-Pacific, America, Middle East and Africa.
Financing of international trade has been one of HSBC's key strengths. Since 1865, HSBC has played a key role in international commerce when The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, founding member of the HSBC Group, was established to finance the growing trade between the South China coast, and the Europe and the United States.
Leveraging on our global network we ensure that we offer the widest gamut of trade products and services ranging from traditional methods of facilitating imports and exports to innovative structured solutions.
Documentary collections offer a simple, cost-effective and secure means of trading internationally. If your buyer does not issue DCs, collections offer the next safest alternative to open account trade. During a collection, banks act as intermediaries, ensuring that documents are only released against payment or acceptance. Collections offer the seller comfort that they will not lose control of the goods without payment or the promise to pay. Meanwhile from your buyer's perspective, collections offer a simple and cheaper alternative to the DC and hence may enable you to negotiate better terms.
Issuance of shipping guarantees/delivery order or any other guarantee - In case the goods you import arrive before the transport documents, we could issue you a shipping guarantee / delivery order to facilitate taking delivery of the goods. You then have immediate access to your goods and avoid expensive storage fees and demurrage charges.
We can address funding gaps in your trade cycle and support your business, by providing you import financing options in foreign currency (at LIBOR linked rates) or in Indian Rupees. We can arrange import buyers' credit financing through HSBC branches / group entities overseas, at internationally competitive LIBOR linked rates
Clean Import Loans are available to you depending on whether you are trading on Documentary Credit and Documentary Collection terms.
The Distributor Finance Programme is a unique financing programme provided by HSBC. Under this programme, HSBC provides working capital finance that Distributor's of it's Corporate customers require for stocking and selling of their products. This translates into more sales for the Corporate and competitively priced finance for their Distributors.
Exporters can face significant risks when they undertake international trade, not least the fear of delay or non-payment. Whether you are a new or long-established exporter, HSBC Trade Services can help you to reduce risks, allowing you to focus on growing your export business. To benefit from HSBC's export services, you do not need to have special facilities. Simply request your buyers to advise documentary credits through us and benefit immediately from our international network. What's more, if you are the beneficiary of a documentary credit issued by an HSBC Group office, you are entitled to the same level of service excellence as any of our regular customers
Documentary collections offer a simple, cost-effective and secure means of trading internationally. If your buyer does not issue DCs, collections offer the next safest alternative to open account trade. During a collection, banks act as intermediaries, ensuring that documents are only released against payment or acceptance. Collections offer the seller comfort that they will not lose control of the goods without payment or the promise to pay. Meanwhile from your buyer's perspective, collections offer a simple and cheaper alternative to the DC and hence may enable you to negotiate better terms.
HSBC can check the authenticity of DCs issued in your favour, enabling you to start arranging shipment quickly by pre-advising the full text of the DC to you by telephone or fax. You can also subscribe to our electronic advising service in which you will receive electronic copies of all incoming SWIFT-based export DCs and advices via e-mail, helping you improve communication and efficiency
Reduce bank and country risk effectively by enjoying the security payment commitments from both the Issuing Bank and HSBC, the confirming bank. If your documents are presented in compliance with the terms and conditions of the DC, payment from HSBC will be final.

Simply by clicking on the link shipment details and the status of shipment will be available for customers use. This link will also provide our bill reference, in addition to other details. Another unique feature of Document Tracker is that the exporter could obtain an update on the shipment details via SMS.

Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Unlike radiation therapy and surgery, which are localized treatments, chemotherapy is a systemic treatment, meaning the drugs travel throughout the whole body. This means chemotherapy can reach cancer cells that may have spread, or metastasized, to other areas. Because myeloma is a systemic disease from the start, chemotherapy is the main treatment.
Currently, there is no cure for myeloma, so treatment is designed to prolong life by reducing the effects of myeloma on body functions and reducing discomfort. Chemotherapy is usually given after symptoms or complications develop because there has been no evidence that early treatment alters the course of the disease. Chemotherapy drugs are usually used in combination and given in cycles. The drugs can be given through an IV or by mouth. The IV drugs may be administered at the doctor's office or in the hospital. Oral drugs may be taken at home. The type of chemotherapy often depends on the amount of tumor present in the body and how well the kidneys are functioning.
Chemotherapy is given until the abnormal antibody-like protein produced by myeloma cells decreases and reaches a plateau. Complete remission is rare.
Chemotherapy Drugs
Examples of chemotherapy drugs used for multiple myeloma include:
- Bortezomib (
- Cyclophosphamide
- Dexamethasone
- Doxorubicin
- Lenalidomide
- Melphalan
- Prednisone
- Thalidomide
- Vincristine
Combination therapy
- Melphalan and prednisone
- Vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone
Fifty to sixty percent of patients reduce the amount of abnormal protein in their blood by half. But, fewer than one in twenty has a complete remission. Typically, multiple myeloma recurs within 1-2 years of ending chemotherapy. At this point, the doctor will usually recommend trying a different chemotherapy regimen. Typically, patients with stage II or stage III disease should undergo evaluation for future stem cell transplant. If a patient is not a candidate for transplant, a combination of melphalan, prednisone and thalidomide, or melphalan and prednisone is given.
Therapies like bortezomib and lenalidomide might be reserved for disease relapse.
Side Effects
Chemotherapy can affect your central nervous system. Because of this, you may feel tired, confused, and depressed. Usually, these feelings go away when the treatment ends. Other common side effects of chemotherapy include:
- Flu-like symptoms
- Fluid retention
- Fatigue
- Impaired memory
- Inability to focus
- Lightheadedness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Anemia
- Muscle pain
- Headache
- Hair loss
- Infertility
- Rash
- Neuropathy
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Melphalan may increase your risk of developing leukemia or myelodysplasia (a disease that affects bone marrow). If you have been given melphalan, you will be closely monitored by your doctor for signs of these conditions.

Moisturizing your face daily is arguably the single most important step in maintaining healthy, youthful skin. A well-hydrated face is a happy face! Be sure to thoroughly wash your face with a facial cleanser prior to applying moisturizer. Increase the effectiveness of your moisturizer through regular exfoliation and facial masks, which remove dead skin cells and allow moisturizers to penetrate and hydrate pores. A moisturized face also provides a better adhesive for your cosmetics. Plus, many facial moisturizers are available with added sunscreen to protect your skin and block the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays.
With so many moisturizers to choose from, it's important to know what to look for, particularly when it comes to your skin type. Specially formulated gels, balms and creams are available for those with oily, dry or combination skin. Many formulas include anti-aging properties, while others are designed for those who suffer from skin irritations such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, skin allergies and seborrhea. Look for benefit-enhancing ingredients like antioxidants, which help prevent damage caused by environmental pollutants and free radicals, as well as glycerin, a moisture-drawing humectant, and skin-softening ingredients from plant, animal and mineral oils, such as shea and cocoa butter, silicones, petrolatum and cholesterol.

Quality bedding is often defined by the thread count of the fabric. Thread count is the number of woven threads in one square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts create higher-quality, more durable weaves that generally feel smoother and softer. Lower thread counts can pill and feel rough, but are affordable and aptly serve their purposes. Common thread counts range from 180 to 1,200. While important, thread count does not alone determine how a fabric performs and feels. Also consider the yarn size and ply when determining the level of quality you desire.
Yarn Size: Yarn size refers to the thickness of the individual threads that make up a woven fabric. The higher the yarn size, the finer the thread. Quality sheets usually have a yarn size ranging from 40 to 100. Finer yarns can only be made from high-quality, long staple cottons such as Supima. Yarn size is important to thread count because finer yarns take up less space than thicker yarns, thus the highest thread count sheets are generally made from the finest yarns.
Ply: The other important component to thread count is ply. Single ply fabrics are made from individually woven threads of yarn, while two-ply fabrics are made from two threads of yarn that are first twisted together and then woven. Since two-ply fabrics have essentially double the thread count of their single ply counterparts, two-ply fabrics must be made from extremely fine yarns, otherwise the end product might feel too bulky and heavy.
