Is Pretty Skin Giving You a Sore Throat?
Got a sore throat that just won’t quit? Your acne meds could be the culprit.
A recent study from the Perleman School of Medicine at that University of Pennsylvania reports that oral antibiotics commonly used to treat acne are linked to symptoms of sore throat; patients using these acne medications were three times more likely to suffer a sore throat than if they didn’t use antibiotic acne drugs.
Red Lips for Romance
Cool, bluish shades of red are all the rage with everyone from celebs on the red carpets to beautistas in your neighborhood. And with good reason: in addition to making your teeth appear whiter, a deep, pungent, blood-red painted lip paired with a flawless, blanched out complexion makes for a look that is at once classic, retro, glamorous, edgy… and let’s not forget sexy.
Okay, so there’s nothing more romantic than a puckered pair of scarlet-stained lips, but the season’s hottest lip trend can magnify the dry appearance of lips chapped by winter’s harsh winds and cool temps. Keep your kisser Valentine-ready with these simple steps:
Increase Hair Volume with a Blow Dryer
Wet hair is pliable and can be formed into new shapes with the use of heat styling tools. When the hair is dried with heat, moisture is removed, allowing internal bonds (which are dissolved when hair is we) to re-form, resulting in a temporary set.
This volume-boosting effect will be lost when the hair is washed and will also be diminished by environmental factors, such as wind and sunlight.
Get the Right Accessories
The nozzle on a blow dryer is useful in creating volume as it directs the heat exactly where it is required, at the root. Blow drying hair without the nozzle often means the hair dries too quickly and the root hasn’t had its fair share of the heat so that it can take on the shape you desire.
It’s All About the Heat
Heat is what molds the hair into new shapes. It is critical to use a blow dryer if you want volume. Blow drying slowly, using a low-medium heat is best as it gives the hair more time to mold.
Finish by locking your handiwork in place with a shot of cool air before removing the brush.
6 Steps to Softer Lips
Dry, cracked or sore lips are more than just a beauty blunder. In addition to detracting from an otherwise healthy complexion, chapped lips can also interfere with talking, smiling, eating and kissing comfortably.
Lip skin is unlike skin anywhere else on the body: it’s is exceptionally thin (revealing the capillaries below creating a rosy hue) and has no oil glands (skin’s natural barrier), making the lips especially delicate and prone to dryness and chapping.
Although anyone can find themselves with dry lips from time to time, there are specific things you can do to avoid the irritating condition.

Hair Texture: Decoded
Each person has a complex, unique genetic makeup resulting in their own individual rate of hair growth, hair size, texture, and shape. There are, however, some general differences in the type of hair fibers for people of different ethnic descent; diverse or mixed ethnic heritage will likely produce “combination hair.”
You can alter the appearance of hair fibers through chemical and heat processes, although these changes come with the price of damage. You cannot, however, change the type of hair your naturally produce.
No product will make your hair grow in thicker, straighter, or curlier.
Hair cross-section, chemical composition, follicle density and shape, and oil production and distribution along a hair shaft are all significant factors in the appearance and behavior of hair in its natural state.
Find out why your hair behaves the way it does.
Use Rollers to Pump Up Hair Volume
Styling rollers can vary according to size and design; the smaller the roller, the more tight a curl that will be formed, so opt for larger rollers when your goal is volume, not defined curls.
Add Texture to Your Hair
To create random depth throughout the hair, wind sections of hair onto the rollers in a reverse direction to the underlying style. Be selective in where you apply this technique.
Maximum Hair Volume
To achieve maximum volume, hold the hair at an angle of over 90 degrees to the head when winding onto rollers. This technique results in an even curl pattern from roots to tips.
Create Natural-Looking Hair Volume
To create near-natural volume, hold the hair at an angle of 90 degrees to the head when winding onto rollers. The roller will rest half on and half off the base of the section.
Add Movement to Your Hair
To create a little volume, hold the hair at an angle of under 90 degrees when winding onto rollers. This technique is called “off base” and results in a longer section at the base before the hair starts to curl. In this way, the hair will hang down more than other techniques.
