Dry skin can be a nightmare for most women: not only it looks bad but it also feels terrible.

When the oil glands don’t make enough sebum or we expose our skin for a long time to coldness, extreme heat or wind it becomes dry. Dry skin is extremely uncomfortable: it itches, hurts and feels rough.

If your skin feels dry all the time you should consider that maybe there are other reasons that cause that instead of blaming your genes or cosmetics.

Some of the things which cause dry skin are: following a low fat diet, not drinking enough water, lack of vitamins A and E, smoking, etc.

A home made remedy for dry skin is massaging your skin with honey and Aloe Vera. For your knees and elbows you can use a slice of lemon and some olive oil.

At least once a week boil some carrots, smash them and use them as a beauty mask. After 15 minutes, wash your face with glycerin soap and apply a moisturizer.

People with dry skin will have to remember not to expose their skin to extreme conditions without proper protection and always apply a moisturizer suitable for their type of skin.

Botox is one of the most disputed treatments. This treatment has fewer side effects than surgery so many movie stars and singers chose it to make sure they have a perfect face.

What is Botox treatment?

If you chose Botox you will have to know that it means injecting the face muscles with botulinum toxin A which paralyzes them. When the muscles are paralyzed your skin is stretched and no more wrinkles appear. To make sure that you obtain great results you must go to the doctor for an injection every one or two months.

Although this treatment is cheap, safe and sometimes an alternative to surgery, specialists say that it can cause new wrinkles. Their argument is that our face tries to recreate the expression we make by using other muscles instead of those which are paralyzed so this time we develop other wrinkles in those areas.

If you decided to choose Botox treatment, think again or better ask a specialist because side effects can vary from person to person.

I know this isn’t really news, Aguilera, never did represent much of a fashion symbol… not a tasteful one anyway, but I can’t help at being amazed and disgusted at the same time, at how skimpy and inappropriate her attire can be! She gets the shortest dresses, that when you see them you actually know, that… it isn’t right! Like the dress she wore at the Back to Basics after party. I mean, what does she do? Gets designer dresses, all classy and gorgeous and just cuts the bottom one inch below her ass? It’s outrageous! Did somebody replace all the mirrors in her house with distorted amusement park mirrors? And, does she not have fashion advisers? I mean, her staff must get a kick out of this daily! Poor, poor Christina! Maybe if you’d be nicer to them they’d actually tell you the truth… that you look pathetic!
