Beauty Q&A with John Gustafson
Our make-up and skincare guru solves your beauty dilemmas... Got a beauty problem that needs solving pronto? Call upon handbag.com's very own beauty guru, celebrity make-up artist John Gustafson, to help solve all of your beauty dilemmas... Hi I am hearing a lot about ‘primers' recently. Why do we need them and what do they do? Why is it more beneficial than just wearing a foundation and a face cream? KatieKatie, We don't really "need" them. Primers can help to change the finish of your makeup or make it last longer. They can also give your moisturiser/foundation combination something that neither of them has. Do I think you need one? Not really. I sometimes use them and other times I don't. If you are finding you get oily whatever you do, that a mattifying primer might give you additional protection from shine.
Promising Lou Gehrig's disease drug fails trial
LONDON (Reuters) - An acne drug that had shown early promise in treating the degenerative nerve condition known as Lou Gehrig's disease actually worsens it, a study in Lancet Neurology said on Thursday. The findings from one of the first randomized trials of the drug minocycline in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also casts a shadow on studies planned for people with Huntington's disease, stroke and multiple sclerosis, it said. "Our finding that minocycline has a harmful effect on patients with ALS has implications for trials of minocycline in patients with other neurological disorders," Columbia University researcher Paul Gordon and colleagues wrote. .
Skin Care Tips From The Top
When it comes to helping patients detect skin cancer, combat acne and acne scarring, treat hair loss and nail fungus, and find a customized daily skin care regimen to maintain healthy skin, dermatologists -- physicians with extensive training and experience in treating skin, hair and nail conditions -- are the specialists to whom millions of people of all ages turn for expert care. In addition, dermatologists can advise patients looking to improve aging skin on the most appropriate over-the-counter, medical and surgical options available to them.
Speaking today at the American Academy of Dermatology's (Academy) Skin Academy, dermatologist Arielle N.B. Kauvar, MD, FAAD, chair of the Academy's Council on Communications, discussed the breadth of expertise dermatologists provide and led an open discussion with fellow dermatologists on their top skin, hair and nail tips.
Police search for man who thwarted sex attack

Does diet affect acne?
Here's a question to ponder: Why is acne common in the Western, industrialized world, while the pimples that plague American kids are rare in developing countries? It's a puzzler — and one that prompted Australian researchers to ask whether changing the diet of teenagers would have any effect on acne. The results could change the way dermatologists think about diet. To test their theory, the Australian researchers recruited 50 young men between the ages of 15 and 25 with mild-to-moderate acne. They split the volunteers into two groups: One group was instructed to eat a diet of lean meat, poultry and fish, along with fruits and vegetables. They replaced foods such as white bread and highly processed breakfast cereals with whole grains. Meanwhile, the other group ate a typical Western diet.
Why Snitsky Continues To Be Pushed, Carlito Unhappy, An Update On Teddy Hart
-- Despite the crowd's apathy towards Gene Snitsky matches, Vince McMahon continues to support the bacne-ridden, yellow-toothed grappler. McMahon is a big fan of Snitsky, which explains his never-ending dominance over mid-carders and low-end wrestlers on Raw and Heat. There doesn't appear to be any end in sight in regards to Snitsky's mini-push, and thus he will continue to dominate talent in short squash matches in Goldberg-like fashion until they come up with a program for him. Although, while the Snitsky push has been going on for nine months (and counting), he still has yet to engage in a program that has lasted more than two weeks, or wrestle at a pay-per-view event for that matter.
-- Carlito is said to be unhappy with how things are going for him nowadays in WWE. The feeling backstage is that he doesn't have the attitude it takes to get a major push.
Researchers raise questions about drug being studied as possible MS treatment
TORONTO - A group of American scientists has warned other researchers that an acne drug being tested as a possible treatment for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases - including in Canada for multiple sclerosis - may actually cause harm. The scientists reported that in a clinical trial of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease, those who received the drug minocycline declined more rapidly than those who received a placebo. Their report, published Thursday in the journal Lancet Neurology, comes just a week after the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada announced it was funding a multi-centre Phase 3 trial to look at whether the inexpensive and off-patent minocycline can slow the progression of MS when treatment is commenced in the earliest stages of the disease.
