			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cosmetic procedures to improve your appearance and confidence may be something you truly want, and you may be seeking the least expensive option available, but recent research shows that this isn’t always the way to go. Sometimes, it can lead to very bad results.</p>
<p>According to an article published in The Aesthetic Guide, illegal “black market” cosmetic procedures are becoming more common. These are often performed by unlicensed or under-trained professionals who do not always make the health and safety of their patients a top priority. The products and equipment they use may also be of lower quality, so you must be careful when choosing your provider.</p>
<p>You should always make sure that your provider is certified to perform the procedure you want, whether it is a facelift, Botox injection, nose surgery, or skin treatment. <a href="http://www.facialplasticsurgeon.com">Drs. Laferriere and Kienstra</a> are board-certified facial plastic surgeons with years of experience you can TRUST.</p>

Heavy jewelry can stretch your earlobes over time and cause them to sag or droop. In addition to the natural thinning of the lobes as we mature, this combination can decrease the elasticity of earlobes and cause them to stretch out of shape.</p>
<p>However, there may be cosmetic solutions for many women who have developed sagging earlobes, whether due to wearing heavy jewelry or age. It is possible to reconstruct the earlobe to a more normal, youthful appearance.</p>
<p>It is best to avoid wearing heavy jewelry that could potentially cause negative long-term affects. However, if your lobes have already gotten worse, consider a cosmetic improvement that could help restore their appearance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.truebeautyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/washingface.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-638" title="washing face" src="http://www.truebeautyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/washingface-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>At menopause, many women are surprised by the return of oily skin and unsightly breakouts reminiscent of adolescence.  While fluctuating hormones at both of those stages of life are the usual culprit, Skincare-news.com cautions that the oil-fighting strategies that work for teens can make the problem worse for delicate mature skin by actually <em>increasing</em> oil production.  It’s time for a more effective <em>and</em> more gentle skin care strategy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Proper facial cleansing is important at every stage of life, but mature skin needs a cleanser formulated to meet its unique needs.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The frequency and method of cleansing are different, too…wash the face no more than twice daily, using the hands rather than a washcloth.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>After cleansing, leave astringent products to the teens, and use an alcohol-free toner instead.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Don’t forget to moisturize, but you may need to use a different product. Mature skin needs a more gentle, oil-free product that won’t clog pores.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Blot oily areas rather than using powder, which tends to accentuate fine lines and wrinkles.</li>
