Adult Acne
Something as simple as looking at her reflection in the mirror was enough to cause Rachel Boland significant emotional pain.
“It’s brought me to tears when I’m sitting in front of my mirror,” says Rachel Boland. 32 year old Rachel has been battling adult acne since she graduated high school.
“It really makes you feel like a teenager and very self-conscious and I’m saying I’m supposed to be a woman in business and now I have a family and I’m going to business appointments and I’m thinking about my face like a child.” (Read more about Adult Acne)

More Sun Exposure Recommended for Disease Prevention
We have all heard much about how excessive sun exposure can accelerate aging and raise the risk of skin cancer. However, a study by the U.S. Department of Energy Brookhaven National Laboratory suggests that the benefits of boosting vitamin D production by moderately increasing exposure to sunlight outweighs the risk of developing skin cancer for populations deficient in vitamin D. The scientists are aware that solar radiation is the leading cause of skin cancer. However, sun-activated vitamin D has been shown to play a protective role in a number of major cancers and a range of other diseases. The concern is particularly great for populations in northern latitudes, such as Scandinavia, where sun exposure is limited. (Read more about More Sun Exposure Recommended for Disease Prevention)

Even during shorter winter days, the sun can do serious harm to skin and it is just as vital to use UVA/UVB sun protection every day regardless of the season. UVB rays are responsible for burning, tanning, and accelerating skin aging. UVA rays can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and plays a major role in skin aging and wrinkling, and can potentially lead to cancer. (Read more about Cold Weather and Men's Skin Care)

Skins Cells May Take the Place of Embryonic Stem Cells
University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have succeeded in reprogramming skin cells to behave like embryonic stem cells. This discovery may redefine the ongoing political and ethical controversy surrounding embryonic stem cell research. For ordinary embryonic stem cell research, this discovery offers a means of obtaining pluripotent cell lines from a non-embryonic source. For cloning research, it offers a means to make customized, pluripotent cell lines without having to create and immediate embryo of an adult person.

Winter is finally taking hold here in the U.S.
With the cold temperatures and dry air comes dry skin.
A lot of us suffer with it this time of year.
So what works? And is an over the counter product called SkinZinc the one-size fits all answer?
