According to research from Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences journal, the light radiation used in bleaching teeth might be completely useless and dangerous to boot.
Several of the tooth whitening treatments think that the use of a light source is thought to improve the oxidizing effect of the hydrogen peroxide, but the study published in the journal disagrees and suggests that a light source makes no difference to the end result and could be dangerous for the bleacher and the bleachee.
Researchers form the Nordic Institution of Dental Materials investigated 7 different bleaching systems that were commercially available on the Scandinavian and …read more

The Canadian government recently declared two chemicals used in lipstick and other personal care products to be toxic to the environment. Officials are saying that the two chemicals, siloxanes D4 and D5, aren’t used in large enough quantities to be of concern to people yet, however two other chemicals used in cosmetics were found to be harmful to people’s health.
The two siloxanes are used as emollients to soften the skin and are found in many of the personal care products on the market in North America. They’re also used in paints and coatings, antiperspirants, sealants, lubricants, plastics, silicone polymers, food …read more

A cozy, fun evening at home with your girlfriends with manis, pedis, wine and gossip. Sounds like a good evening, right? One way to make it just that much better is to have a professional stylist come in and cut and style you and your friends in your kitchen, at a “cut” rate (no pun intended).

In part due to the economy, the beauty industry is going to go through a “survival of the fittest” overhaul. There has been a rash of new beauty companies, all proclaiming their product will make me thinking, younger, and more beautiful, but this year, only the strongest will survive. Brands that can …read more

Sounds like a plastic surgery treatment, doesn’t it? I thought so at first too, but then I got a chance to try these out, and they’re very cool.
eyeSlices are disposable eye-treatment pads which are kind of like high-tech cucumber slices. They come in this little green sort of contact lens type case, which keeps them clean and ready for their next use. eyeSlices are supposed to be good for up to 5 10 minute treatments, but I don’t know if I could last that long with these “on”.
They’ve been clinically proven to decrease redness by more than 320%, and are …read more
