Quotes about Face Lift from the world's top natural health / natural living authors
"Should we consider a face lift a cure?
Is graying a disease? I am not being facetious. Graying is a consequence of biological senescence. The follicles that turn skin cells into hair lose the capacity to introduce pigment. These follicles have lost a normal biological function resulting in obvious biological consequence. Is the consequence pathologic? If so, graying is a disease. If the consequence is not pathologic, graying is "normal."
Is graying an illness? For some, gray hair is a symptom. For these people, it is a biological event that is a cause of concern and discomfiture." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)
| "Botanies face lift Firming Cream SPF 10 ($13.99for 1.69 ounces) has a better base formula than any of the Boots Botanies sunscreens above; what a shame the SPF 10 with avobenzone is too low for daytime use. This is an option if you have normal to dry skin and are willing to pair this with a foundation rated SPF 15 or greater.
© Botanies Face Renewal Cream SPF 15 ($13.99 for 1.69 ounces) is nearly identical to the Botanies face lift Firming Cream SPF 10 above, except that this one has a better SPF rating and a change in antioxidants." - Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition (Get the book.)
| "The athlete who uses hGH or steroids, the breast-augmented woman who wants to be seen as natural, the man who has had a hair implant and a face lift in order to pass himself off as youthful—they all live in fear of disclosure. The veneer of authenticity is always a risk.
One of the unique features of many biomedical enhancements when compared with other enhancements is their apparent permanency (enhancements achieved through drugs are an exception). The perception is that once a biomedical enhancement has been implemented, it cannot be altered." - Peter Conrad, The Medicalization of Society: On the Transformation of Human Conditions into Treatable Disorders (Get the book.)
| "Anew Clinical Instant face lift ($28 for 1 ounce) lists alcohol as the third ingredient, which makes this too potentially irritating for all skin types. The lifting portion comes from the amount of PVP (a film-forming agent commonly used in hairstyling gels) in this water-based serum. When it sets on skin, you may notice a tightening effect, but no actual "lifting" is taking place. This contains tiny amounts of water-binding agents and antioxidants, but the alcohol's presence and the inclusion of menthol derivative menthoxypropanediol makes this a no-go." - Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition (Get the book.)
"Botanies face lift Firming Cream SPF 10 above, except that this one has a better SPF rating and a change in antioxidants. Unfortunately, jar packaging won't keep them stable during use, though this is an option for normal to dry skin.
© Botanies Hydrating Serum Capsules ($9.99for 30 capsules) are filled with a blend of silicones, thickener, antioxidant plant oils, and potentially irritating plant extracts, including narcissus and horsetail. This is an option for normal to dry skin, and it leaves a silky finish, but the mixed bag of good and problematic plant extracts is disappointing."
