    Waxing Isnt Waning

    Most women still groom their bikini areas despite irritation and itchiness, a new study says. Waxing is the
    least irritating routeif you do it right. Heres how:

    1. Dont DIY. You physically cant pull from the

    proper angle to remove hair from the root, so a flawless


    finish will be out of reach, no matter how hard you try.

    2. See a specialist. Go to a salon where waxes are

    the only thing on the menu. The employees there do


    waxes all day every day, unlike your nail tech or facialist.

    3. Speak Up. Your waxer should apply pressure to

    the spot immediately after removing the wax (so you


    feel less pain) and tweeze any strays. If she doesnt, ask.

    4. Do your homework. Exfoliate daily with a salt


    or sugar scrub to prevent ingrowns and follow up with
    lotion to prep skin for an even better wax next time.

    Thats not an exaggeration;


    its modern medicine at
    work. The latest treatment, Sitavig, promises
    to stop your next sore
    from popping up. The drug
    delivers cold-sore med
    acyclovir in an M&M-size
    tablet that sticks to your
    gums and attacks the virus
    in the hours it takes to
    dissolve, without the lag
    time of the swallowable
    versions that came before.
    In a clinical trial, Sitavig
    users who once got sores
    four or more times yearly
    had 64% fewer outbreaks;
    some patients reported
    going an unprecedented
    year and a half without
    one. Two Rx tablets cost
    $350 (or a $35 copay under most insurance plans).

    Does Tongue Brushing Freshen Your Breath?


    A good bristling may tackle your
    tongues germy coating, but the real
    culprits of bad breath tend to be odorous toxins in your gut or inflamed
    gums. (Exception: Brushing can
    temporarily help if odors are coming
    from sulfur-producing bacteria on the
    tongue.) Keep gums healthy with a
    twice-yearly dental deep cleaning and
    daily brushing and flossing; neutralize
    toxins in the gut by eating detoxifying
    parsley on a regular basis.

    3 Ingredients That Have

    A new study reveals a trio of chemicals you shouldnt let near your lashes.
    If your eyes or lids are itchy, red, or irritated, or if you deal with general dryness,
    try a formula like Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin
    Mascara ($10), which ditches these offenders. Source: Current Organic Chemistry

    2. Diazolidinyl urea,
    preservative: Releases
    irritating formaldehyde

    3. Formalin, disinfectant
    and preservative: Triggers
    allergic skin reactions in
    10% of Americans and,
    worse, vision impairment
    in animal eye tests.

    new study shows that age is an


    advantage when it comes to pore
    size, which, for most women, actually plateaus around age 40. Cool,
    but still no guarantee of flawless skin.
    Dead skin cells tend to collect around
    pores, making them look larger, says
    Boston-based dermatologist Emmy
    Graber. Fight the uneven appearance
    of enlarged pores by clearing away gunk
    with a gentle daily scrub like MyChelle
    Refining Sugar Cleanser ($25)and step
    away from the magnifying mirror.
