Alarming numbers of teenagers sunburnt: Cancer Council
But National Skin Cancer Committee chairman Craig Sinclair says almost 400,000 adolescents were still getting burnt each weekend last summer. "A quarter of all adolescents aged between 12 and 17 are still getting sunburnt on a typical summer weekend," he said. "What we know about the evidence between the link between sunburn and skin cancer later in life, this is certainly a real concern to the cancer councils." The study of 5,000 adults and 650 teenagers found girls are more likely to deliberately tan than boys. Mr Sinclair says an emotional TV advertisement is being launched, featuring 26-year-old Clare Oliver, who died from a melanoma last year. "Along with this data we're releasing today is a new television commercial, which highlights her tragic death and the importance of early detection in relation to melanoma," he said.
Chirally Correct Cosmeceuticals
Sircuit Skin products have made a name for themselves among the Hollywood A-list set thanks to a novel formulation approach known as Chiral technology. Derived from the Greek word "chir," which means "hand," the technology refers to a mirror image phenomenon frequently found in nature (e.g., human hands, eyes and feet are identically opposite, mirror images of each other). Sircuit’s full product line is built on a "Chirally Correct" molecule theory and are promised to pair perfectly with the skin’s cells to produce "only the positive effects of each ingredient or nutrient, while virtually eliminating any adverse reactions," thus restoring purity and alignment to the skin on a molecular and cellular level. When a product is "Chirally Correct," it implies that it contains only the molecules with the ability to give the desired results, according to Michael Wolfgeher, president of the Los Angeles, CA-based company, who cited vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid, as an example.
Relief for dry skin
It's that time of year in some places. Low humidity, cold weather, hot showers. Dry skin. From mildly annoying to very irritating, dry skin plagues us more when the mercury plunges and the furnace comes on. But unless you're dealing with a genetic skin condition or a chronic issue like eczema, dry skin is a common wintertime problem simple steps can relieve. .
