Did you ever notice that the bar is continually being raised on exactly what physical characteristics define beauty? As I sit in front of the TV, I am bombarded by beauties with pouty lips, perfect bone structure, flawless skin, more “voluptuous” upper regions, size 2 waists, and hair that resembles spun silk. Take these same beauties and plop them back in time 20-30 years, when the advent of modern cosmetic technology had not even begun to reach its full potential. Do you think they would have had those same attributes you find yourself longing for when faced with these images? My guess is probably not, or at least not to the same extent.
True, genetics play a role in physical beauty, but with the likes of total “extreme” makeover reality TV (The Swan, Extreme Makeover, Dr. Beverly Hills) and abundant publicity, we see that beauty and cosmetic improvement can now be achieved by a few thousand dollars and a good plastic surgeon. Not only that, but cosmetics in general are now so technologically advanced, you can improve your looks by personal makeup application and home treatments.
There are now do-it-yourself cosmetic treatments such as home microdermabrasion kits, chemical peels, “botox” creams and gels, teeth whiteners, hair removal treatments, cellulite treatments, professional hair straighteners and colors, self tanners, lip enlargers, acne treatments, and the list goes on and on. Cosmetics marketers and science have joined forces to give women everything they ever wanted to be their most beautiful, and feel better about themselves. Women are benefitting by so many companies competing for a piece of these fairly new markets by lower, more competitive prices.
Not only are there new breakthroughs in the world of cosmetic science, but there are constantly new studies and discoveries in the field of nutrition, fitness, and wellness. Combine this with the new wave of technologically advanced cosmetics, supplements, and treatments, and you’ve got a recipe for a healthier, longer, more satisfying life for those of us who decide to take advantage of the advanced knowledge of our time.
So, does your desire to be your best and most beautiful self make you shallow, less credible, or somehow jeopardize your feminist agendas? Unless you’ve somehow compromised your integrity, morals, or core beliefs along the way, the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT! As long as you are not putting yourself at high risk for physical harm, obsessing endlessly, or spending your life savings, investing time and money into your beauty ultimately is an investment in your well being, self esteem, and many times, mental and physical health. Feeling beautiful is part of what makes us women. Come on, it’s just plain FUN to experiment with different looks and different products! It feels good to be noticed, and when you feel beautiful, you tend to radiate confidence and power. It is inherent in our nature to want to feel feminine and look and feel our best, and there is nothing wrong with it, as long as it is not all-consuming.
As a self-proclaimed “product junkie”, I can attest that many of these newly engineered products really do work, as I have tried nearly all of them in the quest to look and feel my best. I can’t wait to see what they’ll come out with next, as every new product seems to top the last. Hey, women have come a long way, and we deserve to feel sexy and confident - beyond smoke and mirrors!

Those days are gone when a man entering a beauty salon was objectionable, or considered to be fatal to his masculinity. Nowadays, the average male can easily saunter inside a good salon to get himself some serious enhancement in looks. History shows that in ancient days, men would make use of kohl to line their eyes. Now again, it is quite much in the style, totally tolerable and quite common if a man goes to a beauty salon or parlor and gets his chest waxed and eyebrows done. Otherwise, the primary thing that people nowadays notice is the face, and the image is all that matters. So in present world, making the best of your looks and looking neat has become extremely significant for men. These beauty guidelines are for all those men who desire to look their best, and attract people more easily.
Men, similar to women, get concerned when they observe gray hair. For that reason, there are beauty guidelines for men who are going gray. If you are going gray, then cover them up as soon as you see them. Either snip them off or color them. Do not wait for it to turn into more noticeable one. And if you notice you are going bald, get your hair cut short, crop or shave your head to look smart; it is very much in style to looks smart and sexy with a clean-shaved head.
Another beauty instruction for men is that one should not forget to cut the hairs from your nose and ear hair. You can also get your back and chest waxed to eliminate unnecessary hair. There are a number of companies that focus in beauty products for men. These beauty products for men can in fact improve looks of men. If you are looking to use these products, like facial foam which would clean dirt and unclog pores, you should look for the type of skin it calls for. If you have oily skin, then stick to products which suit that skin type, and if you have sensitive skin, remember to use mild, gentle soaps which can help improve the suppleness of your skin. Use a good kind of sunscreen, and a moisturizer, to prevent the skin from drying out and looking leathery. You should also use any good product that would occasionally balance out your skin’s ph level to get a better skin.

Beauty salon sinks are a beautiful addition to every salon. Most of the sinks in the beauty salons are used for shampooing and rinsing. Salon sinks include shampoo bowls, shampoo cabinets, and shampoo bulkheads. These sinks come with a variety of bowl colors and fixtures.
Beauty salon sinks or basins are designed with a front wall that has a U-shaped depression. During shampooing, rinsing, and other treatments, the customer is positioned in a reclining chair in a backward position. The individual’s neck is placed in the U-shaped depression in the sink. If the customer undergoes a prolonged treatment, there is a chance of getting a nerve injury in the neck.
Beauty salon sinks are now made with special care and with added facilities to remove the problem of nerve injury. It has been found that most people suffer from salon sink nerve injuries after they lean back for a shampoo. For this reason, new beauty salon sinks are manufactured with a head support, which has a U-shaped frame with spaced apart bendable supports. The headrest plate is backed by a frame. Today, a number of head supports with an elongated, perforated, flexible band of water-resistant material are available on the market. These have a flexible cord with ends that are connected to the upper edges of the sink side walls.
There are even portable salon basins available to accommodate wheelchair clients. Some hair salon sinks have a lightweight acrylic shampoo bowl. One variety of beauty salon sinks is the hand-sink equipped with hot and cold running water. It is mainly used for washing hands, arms, or other parts of the body.
In ancient times, these sinks were deep ones used for washing hair. But now, there are different types of sinks that include waist-high sinks, complete with non-slip surfaces and security harnesses; open-ended washtubs; flexible hoses with showerheads, high-powered hairdryers, and extra towels. To make them more attractive, many salon owners try to add tinted green glass and ultramodern fixtures to the sinks.

Having recently read an article on plastic surgery, discussing the female quest for a higher beauty level, I was led to reconsider my thoughts on what I deemed as natural, feminine and normal.
According to scientists and scholars worldwide, the contemporary entertainment industry has dramatically altered the way women regard themselves and their bodily characteristics. Western media, in particular, have promoted the human image that appears to be the cultural accepted principle. In fact, even the basic human body characteristics that for centuries have distinguished women from men, like the different genitalia forms, have drawn the attention of plastic surgeons who attempt with their offered procedures to cover women’s needs to resemble a media promoted image. But how come and a specific set of bodily characteristics have become the general rule upon which women base their thinking of what is normal, beautiful or feminine? The answer is twofold.
First, there are those who are mostly responsible for the distribution of this “perfect” icon as being the only accepted facial or body image. Fashion, cosmetic and entertainment industries have during the last centuries ruled the ground upon which people accept or reject the human form. Being tall, thin, luminous, clean, neat, or elegant, are examples of the cultural norms that people feel comfortable accepting as the ideal female image. Perhaps the very fact that most of these characteristics are unattainable for most women has made them become so popular among the masses. Striving to conquer this perfection world has been translated today as the only way for someone to become happy and feel complete or successful. All those women, who have not yet understood the importance of physical perfection or have not tried hard enough to accomplish such a goal, are cached away from society that translates their different form as an abnormality and them as a human failure. As they are doomed to live in this fabricated world of perfection, more and more women today sought out those procedures that can help them regain their self-respect and improve their self-esteem. By selecting the general form of a celebrity, or the specific characteristics of model’s faces and bodies, desperate women enter the plastic surgeons offices all around the world asking to look more like them.
Second, there is society itself. Industry leaders, who are mostly accused of fabricating this feminine perfection image, come from a society that has cultivated its own thinking based on cultural, religious or historical ideals of what should or should not be considered normal, beautiful or feminine. These cultures are constituted by us, people. We are part of what the world believes, about ourselves, and our beliefs go back to the world to determine its future. Whether or not we are happy with the way we look in the mirror is something we should understand that depends more on our own thinking than the glossy magazine pages. It is us who we should blame for fabricating our normal form; to the extent to which this fake form is now the general accepted rule and our horrifying reality.

This year has gone by in a flash! It seems like just yesterday that I was trading out my spring blush for a warmer summer shade. 2009 has been an interesting year to say the least and the beauty industry has not been excluded. We’ve seen new cult products emerge and beauty trends rise and fall within the past twelve months.
As you reflect on what the past year has meant to you take a look at what the beauty world has experienced. I can’t wait to see what 2010 will bring.

These two adorable products lure everyone into buying them once they see their pretty packaging. I had never even heard of a lip exfoliator until six months ago but now I can’t imagine living without it!

Finally for the first time in a decade, glitter nail polish has made its grand entrance. Now middle school girls aren’t the only ones with sparkle on their nails - even middle aged women have been seen sporting this glittery trend.

I agree with the previous reviewer that National Wildlife is often pessimistic. Sadly, I “get it for the pictures,” so-to-speak. The photos are truly beautiful, and they have a yearly contest and issue with photo winners.
In most of the articles, however, it seems the writers are trying to convince everyone that humans are ruining the planet. Probably all readers of National Wildlife already know this, but are interested in learning more about national wildlife . . . which is the name of the magazine, after all. You can’t just jump in and tell everyone they’re endangering animals and then hope they’ll care about it–people need to have vested interest in something to really care about it. They should tell the readers how to do direct things such as birdwatch, start a pond, or plant a wildflower garden. They should educate readers on the habits and lives of various animals, and then let the readers know that the animals are in potential danger. If they make nature FUN for readers, then we’ll realize what a loss it would be in our own lives to suddenly be without it. As the saying goes, “you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.” National Wildlife needs to use a lot more honey and a lot less vinegar.
National Wildlife as an organization does try to encourage people to get involved with positive steps, such as through their national campout, Certified Wildlife Habitats and accompanying book (Attracting Birds, Butterflies, and Other Backyard Widlife), etc. It would be nice to see this positive mentality carried over to the magazine itself.
Treatment of America’s wild creatures and places through full-color photo galleries, natural history features, outdoor adventure articles and news items of ecological concern. Conservation-minded magazine of nature and the environment.
