British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons president Nigel Mercer has described the British cosmetic surgery industry as an “unregulated mess” and said that tighter control is needed to clamp down on untested products and two-in-one medical offers.

Reasons To Use Skin Care Products

Perhaps one of the most common reasons to use skin care products is to keep your skin moist. Dry skin has a higher tendency to wrinkle and become chapped.

There are quite a few skin care products available in the form of lotion that can help to relieve dry skin, heal rash, and prevent future dryness as well. Another common reason why people use skin care products is because they suffer from [more...]

It hurt my feelings.” Now, the star of TVLand’s upcoming reality show Harry Loves Lisa (with husband Harry Hamlin) – as well as the author of the new novel Starlit – is ready to keep a stiff upper lip about her new upper lip. “It doesn’t [more...]
