A Gentle and Effective Hair Removal Body sugaring is one of the oldest known methods of hair removal – dating back to 1900 BC (when they probably used honey rather than sugar).

Dry Skin Linked to Missing Enzyme Dry skin affects more than 100 million people each year. For most, dry skin usually peaks during the cold winter months. For others, dry skin is a chronic condition that can sometimes become sensitive or uncomfortable. Until now, we attributed dry skin to a low level of sebum (oil) [...]
Psoriasis is a skin disease that develops when the immune system sends faulty signals that tell skin cells to grow too quickly. Since the body does not shed these excess skin cells, the skin cells pile up on the surface of the skin, causing patches of psoriasis to appear. Treating psoriasis with topical ointments and [...]
The term rash has no precise meaning – it is simply the common term for inflamed, itchy, red skin. Technically, a rash is a change of the texture, color, and appearance of the skin. A rash can cause the skin to become itchy or painful, feel warm, dry, cracked, or appear blistered. A rash may [...]
Jojoba oil (pronounced ho-HO-ba) is fast gaining ground as a natural, ‘multi-purpose’ oil for maintaining healthy skin. It comes from the beans of a shrub native to Mexico, Arizona and California.

Scalp psoriasis is very common, affecting at least 50% of all people who have psoriasis. As with all psoriasis, the skin cells grow too quickly on the scalp and cause red lesions covered with scale, resulting in a [...]
Plaque psoriasis, also known as Psoriasis Vulgaris, is a lifelong disease of the immune system that triggers the body to grow skin cells up to 10 times faster than normal. Instead of shedding, these skin cells pile up on the surface and form patches, or lesions, called plaques. Plaques are raised, inflamed, red lesions covered [...]
The skin is the body’s largest organ, so it’s no wonder that at some time or another we have all suffered from some form of skin disorder – millions of people do. The skin is the first line of defense against dirt, germs and other foreign objects. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most [...]
The first thing you should know about Psoriasis is that it is not a contagious disease – it’s an inherited condition that develops when the immune system sends faulty signals that tell skin cells to grow faster than usual causing the skin cells pile up on the surface to form patches of psoriasis to appear.

Psoriasis is a skin disease that develops when the immune system (specifically, one key cell called a T cell) sends faulty signals that ultimately tell skin cells to grow too quickly. Since the body does not shed these excess skin cells quickly enough, the skin cells pile up on the surface of the skin, causing [...]
