Even as a beauty editor, the idea of having a laser facial has always felt a little too drastic. The pain factor and the thought of being left red-faced has been enough to steer me in the direction of at-home exfoliating peels and hydrating mask in a bid to achieve smooth skin instead. Light therapy treatments are on the rise though and brands, including The Light Salon in Harvey Nichols and the newly launched Skin Laundry in London, are changing opinions and promising tighter, smoother skin in a matter of minutes.

Bread has taken a major hit in recent years thanks to the gluten free movement that blames the pantry staple (as well as favorites, like pizza, pasta and rice) for excessive bloating, gas and other gastrointestinal discomforts. But for the avidly anti-gluten, the perilous protein isn't just banned from passing through their lips, it can't go over them, either.

There's nothing more maddening than knowing your patients are due to arrive at your door at any moment, but because one or more of your employees still hasn't shown up for work, you won't be able to take the patients back right away.
Despite the many excuses employees come up with to explain why they aren't at work on time, tardiness is a big and serious problem for managers and business owners, as well as for those members of your team who respect their scheduled start times.

 Facebook just made a seemingly minor change that has big implications for your brand. Specifically, Facebook announced a new update to its Messenger app: Instant Video. Now, you can add short, instant videos to messages. While Facebook Messenger already added video calling last year, Instant Video is different. The goal of Instant Video isn't to replicate a face-to-face conversation. Instead, it's about "bringing conversations to life," Facebook said in its official announcement.

Email has taken a beating in the last decade as social media and mobile took off like rockets. But in fact, email remains "a growing, go-to channel for marketers." That's substantiated by a new eMarketer report.

Solar ultraviolet radiation is ubiquitous in human life and well-known to cause skin damage that can lead to harmful conditions, such as erythema. Although sunscreen is a popular form of protection for some of these conditions, it is unclear if sunscreen can maintain the mechanical barrier properties of skin. The objective of this study is to determine if in vitro thin film mechanics techniques adapted for biological tissue are able to characterize the efficacy of commonly used UV inhibitors and commercial sunscreens to protect the biomechanical barrier properties of stratum corneum from UV exposure.

 When we think of mentors, the image is one of a more senior person sharing his/her vast knowledge with a junior person. Employees, coaches, moms, leaders of any kind — all can be mentors if they have more experience than the person being mentored. But where is the line between mentoring and cooperating?
