NCEA certified and licensed master esthetician Susanne Schmaling writes: "The first time I was told "you are not a medical esthetician" was frustrating. I was just floored. Problem was they were right; there is no such legal designation as a medical esthetician. In some states, it is illegal to call yourself one. Without that designation, the ability to separate myself as an esthetician with advanced skills seemed impossible. There were no advanced licensing options recognized in my state, and the certifications available were not really understood by the public or employers."

With a boom in face masks in the last few seasons, that old-time ritual of putting on a face mask in the privacy of one's home is seriously passé. "Masking" is well out in the open.
In fact, there is even a beauty phenomenon called mask bingeing. "That's when people put on several different masks in a row to treat whatever they want," said Lev Glazman, a founder of the Fresh skin-care line.
Glazman credits millennials on Instagram for the proliferation of face mask products.

Here in the U.S., saunas are considered a special treat — a luxury. In many other parts of the world, however, saunas are an integral part of life (there's basically a sauna for every household in Finland!). Unfortunately, for us sauna-obsessed Americans, stateside sauna use is reserved for spa days. Now, if the Higher Dose team has its way, all that will change. And they don't just want us all sauna more often, they want us all to experience the (heat) wave of the future.

The way you live your life can have a major impact on the way you look right now, and on the way you'll look in the future as you continue to age. For instance, eating healthy foods can boost collagen and help your skin retain its elasticity, while smoking can contribute to the breakdown of collagen, and lend to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Healthy lifestyle choices can help bring out your natural beauty, and keep your skin looking its best throughout the years.

In this study, the human melanoma targeting property of 99mTc(EDDA)-HYNIC-AocNle-CycMSHhex was determined in M21 human melanoma-xenografts to demonstrate its potential for human melanoma imaging. The IC50 value of HYNIC-AocNle-CycMSHhex was 0.48±0.01nM in M21 human melanoma cells (1281receptors/cell). The M21 human melanoma uptake of 99mTc(EDDA)-HYNIC-AocNle-CycMSHhex was 4.03±1.25, 3.26±1.23 and 3.36±1.48%ID/g at 0.5, 2 and 4h post-injection, respectively.

 "What's in the box?" is the title of a 1964 "Twilight Zone" episode. It's also the infamous question Brad Pitt's character, David Mills, asks his nemesis in the 1995 movie "Se7en," and the name of a Japanese game show that spurred an American spinoff on YouTube. A box of mystery is also at the core of "What's in the Box," the name I've given to this multipart, integrated skills game that draws on students' multiple intelligences and critical thinking and reflection.

It develops the capacity, capability and confidence needed to turn innate strengths into an effective leadership style that can be successful in (and better influence) the future of the business. Most companies incorrectly equate talent development with training, and that can be an expensive mistake.
