According to a global study, two-thirds of women strongly agree that the media and advertising set an unrealistic standard of beauty that most women can't ever achieve. Inspired by these findings, Dove launched the Campaign for Real Beauty in September 2004. This campaign, featuring six brave women who faced the world in nothing but their underwear and a lot of "sassy attitude," was launched with the hopes of changing the way women perceive their bodies, and their beauty, by widening the definition of what it means to be beautiful. Dove's "real women with real bodies and real curves," were embraced by women worldwide.
BB Editor: We need more than Dove to step up to this plate (no pend intended). Maybe sending those skinny anorexic models packing will help. Giving new meaning to the words "Pink Slip" in the fashion industry.

Sharz, 39, from Glasgow, has worked for Vidal Sassoon for 17 years and spends much of his time jetting round the world looking at the latest hair trends. The job: I am creative director at Vidal Sassoon in Glasgow. My job is to give the rest of the staff direction plus I am in charge of training and fashion work. How I did it: I swept floors at my local barber in Wimbledon before getting a traineeship with Chris Sorbie in London. I spent the next two years as a creative director with Alan Stewart in Glasgow, where I got a lot of experience doing show work. I was working for Vidal Sassoon in London when the Princes Square store opened in Glasgow. I jumped at the chance to come up. Vidal Sassoon are the best company to work for. They nurtured my career and taught me all about technique and communication, which is vital if you are to become a rounded worker. We run a hair school which does an NVQ with additional training. We take 10-12 people on every year. You can take that training and work in a salon anywhere in the world. I have done shows in Madrid and Russia and I am off to Rome in a couple of weeks.

It is well known that an adequate supply of vitamin D, either from the diet or from the skin, is important for maximum bone health throughout life.
"An evaluation of surgically obtained skin (age range, 8-92 yr) revealed that there is an age-dependent decrease in the epidermal concentrations of provitamin D3. To ascertain that aging indeed decreased the capacity of human skin to produce vitamin D3, some of the skin samples were exposed to ultraviolet radiation and the content of previtamin D3 was determined in the epidermis and dermis. The epidermis in the young and older subjects was the major site for the formation of previtamin D3, accounting for greater than 80% of the total previtamin D3 that was produced in the skin. A comparison of the amount of previtamin D3 produced in the skin from the 8- and 18-yr-old subjects with the amount produced in the skin from the 77- and 82-yr-old subjects revealed that aging can decrease by greater than twofold the capacity of the skin to produce previtamin D3.
Recognition of this difference may be extremely important for the elderly, who infrequently expose a small area of skin to sunlight and who depend on this exposure for their vitamin D nutritional needs."-J MacLaughlin and M F Holick
"Research also suggests that vitamin D may help maintain a healthy immune system and help regulate cell growth and differentiation, the process that determines what a cell is to become. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that is found in food and can also be made in your body after exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Sunshine is a significant source of vitamin D because UV rays from sunlight trigger vitamin D synthesis in the skin"-NIH.gov

British Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell stated in a statement, I applaud the decision taken by Madrid to ban super-thin models, and urge the organizers of London Fashion Week to do the same." Jowell went on to say, "The fashion industry's promotion of beauty as meaning stick thin is damaging to young girls' self image and to their health." She also stated that a young girls aspire to look like the catwalk models when those models are unhealthily underweight it pressurizes girls to starve themselves to look the same."
It's not only "damnaging" (my word) to young but all women in general. In fact now mature older women are now starting to be one of those categories that are suffering from eating disorders especially anorexia. I saw one fashion designer saying "You don't want to see womens breast or hips . They are supposed to look like a hanger." A HANGER!!!!???? Too bad they don't sell their fashions to a hanger- they would have the income they deserve.

An energizing pomegranate moisturizer SPF15. Hydrates your skin while delivering sun protection. Helps stimulate healthy cell function effectively. Incredibly safeguards your skin from free radicals.
Similar to pomegranate juice and extract, the oil from the seeds of the pomegranate provides a powerful anti-oxidant benefit, fighting free radicals that damage and age the skin. But pomegranate oil is also a potent source of punicic acid, an Omega 5 conjugated fatty acid, beneficial phytoestrogen and a rare plant based source of CLA.
A new study from the University of Michigan Medical School, published in the February 2006 Journal of Ethnopharmacology, shows that pomegranate seed oil stimulates keratinocyte proliferation, promoting regeneration of the epidermis. This study joins a growing body of research supporting the benefits of pomegranate seed oil as a skin treatment, including a South Dakota State University study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food that showed that a topical application of pomegranate seed oil significantly decreased the incidence of skin cancer in mice that had been exposed to cancer causing chemicals.
