We all strive to look our best…most of the time. But when you have an ugly, oozing zit on your chin it is hard to feel confident in yourself.

DailyGlow.Com has provided seven tips which can help get rid of your embarrassing blemishes forever:

1. You Are What You Eat- if you eat greasy, fattening foods your skin will react accordingly. However, if you emphasize your diet on fruits, veggies and protein your face will magically clear up. Consider adding foods rich in selenium or zinc like pumpkin seeds and Brazil nuts.
2. Drink That Water- eight glasses per day will keep your skin hydrated and flush out bad toxins clouding the body
3. Probiotics Are Key- healthy bacteria keeps your immune system strong and prevents toxins from getting into your skin. Try eating bananas, artichokes, onions or yogurt.

Post image for New Moms: Beware of Dangerous Nipple Cream

According to the Food and Drug Administration Mommy’s Bliss Nipple Cream should not be used by new moms. FDA warns customers that this cream encompasses ingredients that may harm nursing babies.

FDA alerted WebMD.com that mothers and caregivers need to seek immediate medical attention if these strange symptoms: loss of appetite, trouble in waking the baby, limp arms or legs, weak grip strength or discoloration of skin occur.

Two ingredients that seem to be causing a lot of problems with respitory issues are: chlorphensein and phenoxyethanol. Chlorphenesin relaxes skeletal muscle and can slow the central nervous system and cause respiratory depression in infants. Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that’s mainly used in make up and medications- it can lower the central nervous system, cause vomiting, diarrhea and lead to dehydration.

Post image for “Bo-Tax” Just Turned to a Dark Tax Tan

Plastic Surgeons and dermatologists are letting out a huge sigh of relief since the tax on elective cosmetic surgery, also known as the “bo-tax,” has been dismissed. The new tax that is proposed in the health care bill will be on indoor tanning services.

NYTimes.com reported that the 10% tax on “fake” tanning services will go into effect in July 2010 which means any indoor tanning services provider must add that additional tax onto their services. By 2020 this new tax will have raised close to $3 billion, this money will go to help millions of Americans obtain health insurance.
