Dr. Oz: STD's from a Bikini Wax | UVA light in Nail Dryers can Cause Cancer | Ringworm from a Haircut


Dr. Oz Beauty Salon Secrets

Dr. Oz: Health secrets that beauty salons don't want you to know, this segment of the Dr. Oz is going to open a few eyes today. Topics such as STD's from a bikini wax, ring worm from a haircut, skin cancer from the UV light in nail dryers, infections fro whirling foot baths. Think twice before you go to a salon!

I have heard about the horror stories from the nail salons, getting a nail fungus that is practically impossible to get rid off, and sores and scars from foot baths, and the like but getting an STD from a bikini wax topped it all. It makes sense how it could happen, I just never thought about it until today. I am not a high maintenance person and go for all that salon perks, if I can't do it myself or a friend help me out, I'm not getting it done.

Here are a few secrets beauty salons don't want you to know from Tabatha Coffey: "What infections are you bringing home from the salon?"

That innocent manicure to have those oh so nice nails, or maybe you go and get your hair touched up on a monthly basis. Dr. Oz talked about how some salons cut corners just to save a buck and you just might be the unfortunate one to pay it, literally.

Dr. Oz had 4 salon technicians to expose some of the industries dirtiest little secrets.

Dirty little secrets:

  • Often razors are used in pedicures by nail technicians that are not properly trained
  • Salons often refill expensive shampoo and conditioner bottles with cheaper products to save money
  • The disinfectant they keep their tools isn't changed enough
  • They buy drugstore brand haircolor but sell it as salon quality
These are just a few but you are going to be shocked at what your salon might be hiding from you. Tabatha Coffey from Tabatha Takes Over. She told Dr. Oz that thousands of women contract bacteria and infections from getting beauty treatments done each year. A study done shows that 75% of salons do not disinfect properly up to state standards, they're not washing their brushes properly, not disinfecting properly, not using the right solutions, and not actually sterilizing the implementation properly.

Dr. Oz: UV light Nail Dryers May Cause Cancer

Dr. Oz told everyone today that he UV light nail dryers may cause cancer, the UV light can cause cancer on the back of the hands, age spots and then showed us a picture of a ladies hand with cancer on her finger and it was linked to the UVA lights from getting her nails done.

Next time you're getting your nails done, turn of the UV lights and just use the dryer, if you want to use the light put on sunscreen SPF 30 with Zinc Oxide. Take this with you to the salon and insist that they use this on your hands when getting your nails done.

Dr. Oz: Foot Baths

Whirling Foot Baths: Next beauty secret that salons don't want you to know: The faster the water moves in the foot baths the more disgusting it is. When the foot bath is being filled back up (after the person before you) and starts whirling around people are actually getting infections and boils on their legs that are lasting for months.

'I have seen pictures of women's feet and legs with sores and scars from infections contracted from foot baths at the salon, so you might want to thinks twice about wanting pretty feet from a salon'

Dr. Oz had 5 whirling foot baths tested for germs and had the swabs York University and bacteria was found that can lead to skin infections, urinary tract infections, even pneumonia from the a whirling foot bath.

Solution: Take your own foot bath liner with you when you go to the salon, there will be no whirling but it is a heck of a lot safer.

Dr. Oz: Ringworm from a haircut

If someone is combing through your hair with sectioning clips and brushes and someone was there before you that had ringworm, lice, whatever and your hairdresser is not sterilizing things properly then it is passed on to the next client.

With proper disinfecting this would never happen, but as Tabatha told Dr. oz some salons have swapped out and using windex in the big jars filled with Barbicide that are sitting in front of you with the combs in it.

Or they may not be changing it enough, the barbicide should be a dark blue not light blue and ask them if they disinfected that comb they are using on you.

Dr. Oz: Bikini Wax

Is it Possible For STDs to Be Spread Through Waxing? It is absolutely possible for STDs to be spread through waxing the bikini area.

The last little secret your salon may not be telling you is they don't change the bikini wax as often as they should. Number one reason not cost effective but worse than that is double dipping.

Double dipping in the wax will hold the bacteria in the wax and not kill it...But it gets worse than that, not only bacteria gets passed on but so can STD's.

Now that is just gone beyond anything I have ever heard about salons. Getting an STD from a bikini wax that has been double dipped!

Bikini waxes which remove more hair from the genital area, such as Brazilian or French bikini waxing, will get closer to the vagina and for this reason can be more dangerous in terms of STDs.

Better off doing your own Brazilian or ask a friend to help you out, it may be a little intimidating but hey it's better than getting an STD for a bikini wax, then you won't care if anyone notices you had am awesome bikini wax or not.

You will be the only one looking at it!

Tabatha told Dr. One should pick up a hydrocortisone cream or an OTC antibiotic cream to take down any inflammation that you may have and also help cut down the risk of infection

Plus Oz and Tanzi showed the PMD Personal Microderm Abrasion which looks like a great combo for fine lines and wrinkles.



Myself I am not one who would go get botox injections, but if I was rolling in money I would rather get a face lift, but this sounds like 2 pretty fantastic products. I have purchased different items that have been talked about on previous shows of Dr. Oz with good results, but I am seriously thinking of giving the Platinum Gaba Antioxidant Cream a try. I checked it out online and the Platinum cream alone runs about $60 and you can also buy the Platinum Labs Collection Combo Kit (4pc) for $223.95.



Dr. Oz Botox Alternatives

  • Greatly enhances poor, dull skin texture by gently resurfacing the superficial skin layers.
  • Softens and modifies fine “expression” lines typically seen on the forehead and around the mouth.

Dr. Oz Cellulite Creams | Do Caffeine Creams Work For Cellulite

Dr. Oz Cellulite and Topical Creams; Do Cellulite Creams Work? Dr. Oz did a segment on cellulite to examine some of the most potent anti-cellulite cures around.


If you have cellulite – those lumpy, bumpy, dimply areas of skin that often resemble cottage cheese or orange rinds – you’re not alone. Oz says nearly 9 out of 10 women have some degree of cellulite on their thighs, buttocks, bellies and arms. We women spend upwards of $12 million a year on anti-cellulite treatments ranging from fancy creams to risky surgery.

What exactly is cellulite? Cellulite occurs when pockets of fat push up against connective tissue underneath the skin. There is no known cure to completely banish cellulite, there are ways to help minimize its appearance
Dr. Oz recommended cellulite creams:



Caffeine Creams

Caffeine creams DO work. Caffeine works on the spot by breaking down fat cells, making skin smoother and less lumpy. The caffeine actually dehydrates the area where the cellulite is, tightening and firming the skin for a temporary smooth appearance. When purchasing these products, examine the ingredients, which are always listed in order of concentration. You want to choose a product with about a 5% caffeine concentration. Caffeine creams typically range in price from about $20-$100.




Aminophylline Cream

This cutting-edge anti-cellulite cream contains the organic compound aminophylline, also used in many inhalable asthma drugs. When applied topically, this compound helps break down fat in cells so it can burn easier. Aminophylline cream, available online for about $40 a bottle, should be applied to the affected area on a daily basis. To supercharge this treatment, add vitamin C, which helps to build collagen. Make sure you get 75 mg of vitamin C each day. One kiwi or a cup of strawberries will do the trick.

Retinol Cream For Cellulite

Retinol is a form of vitamin A that reduces the presence of free radicals responsible for the breakdown of collagen. Retinol helps maintain skin smoothness and makes cellulite bulges less visible. Look for 100,000 IUs of vitamin A per 2-ounce jar. For best results, use 100% retinol cream with added vitamin A, C and E.

Dr. Oz Aminophylline Cream For Cellulite

Dr. Oz What Works For Cellulite



Dr. Oz's Secret Weapons to Fight Cellulite; Today on Dr. Oz the talk was on cellulite, we got the facts on what works and what doesn’t once and for all. There’s no permanent cure for cellulite, but there are ways to reduce its appearance. Don’t throw your money away on expensive products or treatments. Aminophylline cream was just one solution that Dr. Oz recommended for cellulite.




Aminophylline Cream


This cutting-edge anti-cellulite cream contains the organic compound aminophylline, also used in many inhalable asthma drugs. When applied topically, this compound helps break down fat in cells so it can burn easier. Aminophylline cream, available online for about $40 a bottle, should be applied to the affected area on a daily basis. To supercharge this treatment, add vitamin C, which helps to build collagen. Make sure you get 75 mg of vitamin C each day. One kiwi or a cup of strawberries will do the trick.

Aminophylline cream; Topical fat reduction from the waist

According to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, Topical fat reduction from the thigh in women using aminophylline cream has been demonstrated, but the local fat reduction in other body areas or in men by lowering the local lipolytic threshold has not been demonstrated. This study is designed to test the hypothesis that aminophylline cream application to the waist will reduce waist circumference compared with a control.

RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES:

Fifty men and women who are 21-65 years of age with a BMI greater than 27 kg/m(2) and a waist to hip ratio > or =average were randomized in a 1 : 1 ratio to 0.5% aminophylline cream to the waist twice a day or no treatment to the waist. All subjects were instructed to follow a 1200 kcal balanced diet, participate in a walking program and return biweekly to encourage compliance. A theophylline level was drawn monthly, and the waist, BMI and waist to hip ratio were remeasured at 12 weeks.

RESULTS:

At week 12, there was a significant reduction in BMI from baseline that was not different between the groups. The reduction in waist circumference was 11 +/- 1.0 cm in the aminophylline cream group and 5.0 +/- 0.6 cm in the control group (p < 0.001). The reduction in waist circumference was significant for both women and men, but the women lost significantly more waist girth. The waist to hip ratio, a measure of fat distribution, declined. Aminophylline levels were undetectable, and there were no adverse events. DISCUSSION:

Aminophylline cream offers a safe and effective method for cosmetic local fat reduction from the waist.

Dr Oz Coffee Grinds Scrub For Cellulite Recipe

One of the common complaints of women especially in the summer months is cellulite. Time to get get out the shorts and bathing suits and the only thing that saddens your day is seeing that cellulite on your legs. Well this Dr Oz Coffee Grinds Scrub For Cellulite Recipe was proven to work on Dr Oz's Home Remedies - And Do they Work!


Coffee Grinds Scrub for Cellulite Recipe


Combine ½ cup coffee grinds with ¼ cup brown sugar. Place olive oil over areas of cellulite and then rub the rub mix into skin in a circular motion. Scrub for 5 minutes to exfoliate.

Dr Oz says it's a True beauty!

Caffeine can enhance fat metabolism, especially right beneath the skin. It’s easily absorbed when applied directly on the skin. It’s also a diuretic, so it gets some of the fluid out of the fat beneath your skin so that cellulite is less visible. Olive oil is a moisturizer and an emollient, which softens the skin. The brown sugar works as an exfoliant.

Dr Oz said that although this cellulite recipe is not a permanent cellulite fix, it’s an effective temporary solution.

Dr Oz Hair Thickening Beer Shampoo



Dr. Oz puts some of his viewers’ favorite beauty secrets to the test. Face masks to wrinkle treatments, Dr. Oz tests out viewers beauty fixes, and here with Dr. Oz in the tub, the Dr Oz Hair Thickening Beer Shampoo, and does it work?


Dr Oz Beer Shampoo Recipe



Boil 12 oz. of beer until it reduces to about ½ cup.
Cool the beer and add to 1 (15 oz.) bottle of baby shampoo.

Lather through hair thoroughly and rinse.

It does not work. Although, initially, beer may make your hair plumper, for long-term use it’s not beneficial. Beer contains ethanol, which actually inhibits biotin, the basic B vitamin that serves as hair’s building block.

Dr Oz Breast Milk Soap For Dry Skin

Dr Oz Breast Milk Soap for Dry Skin


Jaclyn from Texas shocks Dr Oz today with her homemade soap. Dr Oz says this is the most bizarre beauty secret of them all. He is totally surprised at the ingredients. Jaclyn lathers up Dr Oz and he comments that the soap smells good and feels great on the skin, and proceeds to ask Jaclyn what are the ingredients to make this soap.

Here is Dr Oz Breast Milk Soap For Dry Skin.

This soap consists mostly of olive oil and breast milk. The bar lathers up into a rich creamy treatment for eczema and dry skin

Dr Oz Verdict For Breast Milk Soap: It works... I'm sold! I am allergic to soap, and can only use Dove for sensitive skin, This I have to try... with the yogurt there is no breast milk around here!

Breast milk contains lactic acid, a form of alpha-hydroxy acid which is a natural skin exfoliatant. It also has lactoferrin, which is a good anti-inflammatory and helps to shed the outer layer of the skin and unclog pores. You can use yogurt as a substitute for the breast milk. It also contains lactic acid and is readily available. This Breast Milk Soap Recipe Makes A 3 lb batch of soap.


Dr Oz Breast Milk Soap Recipe


Ingredients

13 oz. breastmilk or yogurt (frozen/slushy)
5.25 oz. distilled water
6.25 oz. lye (pure sodium hydroxide crystals: WARNING: can be dangerous if handled improperly)
3 oz. fragrance oil (optional – omit for unscented soap)
24 oz. olive oil
12 oz. lard
12 oz. Crisco (or double this and omit lard for vegan soap)
1 oz. castor oil

Directions

In a steel pot, combine fragrance oil, olive oil and castor oil. Cut up the lard and Crisco into smaller chunks, and add to pot. In a plastic container, (tea pitcher works well) put distilled water. Slowly sprinkle the lye over the water and stir gently to dissolve. Wear protective clothing as this is VERY hot and can burn your skin.

Once the lye has been completely dissolved, slowly add the slushy breast milk to the water/lye mixture and stir carefully. It will turn bright yellow/orange. Slowly add breast milk mixture to the oils while whisking thoroughly. After all ingredients have been incorporated, use stick blender & blend in bursts until soap becomes thick.

Soap Making Supplies

Pour soap batter into mold and put lid on. Check on it frequently as milk soaps tend to overheat easily. If it’s getting too hot and starting to separate or crack, open the lid. In 24-48 hours, carefully unmold the soap. It needs to finish curing for a few weeks before use.

Dr Oz Nail Salon Dangers

Dr Oz Dangers At The Nail salon


Dr Amy Wechsler joins Dr Oz today on the dangers at the nail salon. Dr. Oz launches an undercover investigation to find out what exactly goes on in these salons by sending in 3 of his staff with hidden camera's into 3 nail salons in New York City. Toenail fungus and yeast bacteria are just a few of the nasty problems you can be stuck with after going to the nail salon.

The staff got the full treatment of manicure's and pedicure's and you are going to be surprised at what you will see and learn from these Dr Oz video's on Nail salon dangers!

Dr Amy Wechsler Recommendations
1. Take your own pedicure supplies
2. Take your own Pedicure tub liners
3. Use Carmol 20 for you callused heels.

Dr Oz 3 Dangers In the Nail Salon

What dangers are lurking at your local nail salon?. Learn what three dangers to avoid, and what Dr Amy Wechsler recommends to do.

1. Dirty Tools: Traces of E. coli bacteria have been found on nail salon tools. This can cause serious infections on the hands and feet.

Protect Yourself: Look for salons that use UV sterilizers. A UV sterilizer can kill most of the bacteria on the tools in as little as one minute. Tools should be placed inside the sanitizer for 5 minutes.

Bring your own tools to the nail salon. The tools in Dr Oz's undercover in nail salons they just moved the tray of tools they used on the client to the next customer.

2. Dirty Tubs: Mycobacteria, fungus and yeast have been found in the pedicure tubs.
Protect Yourself: Use a tub liner to keep your feet away from the tub walls. These liners cost only about $1. These tubs were only rinsed, they were not disinfected.

Never shave your legs the day you are planning to get a pedicure. The micro-nicks in the skin more readily allow these dangerous bacteria in.

3. Illegal Procedures: The “foot razor,” used to remove calluses, is illegal in most states. Often, nail salon employees cut the skin by accident; most don’t clean the bloody razors properly. This is a serious health violation and should be avoided entirely.

Protect Yourself: Use a callous solution(foot razor) Callus Shaver
or heel cream at home to safely dissolve hardened skin. Dr. Wechsler recommended Carmol 20 20% Carbamide Cream

Remember Dr Oz and Dr Amy Wechsler Nail salon Tips; Purchase your on tub liners, Plus it it safer to take your own Pedicure Tools .

Medical Makeup To Cover Rosacea In Three Minutes Your Done

How many different products and brands of makeup have you bought so far trying to cover Rosacea, is your makeup bag full of it. If you have been disappointed with the end result of not getting an even skin tone on your entire face, then read this article on medical makeup for Rosacea.

Rosacea is often referred to as adult acne or acne rosacea. For mild cases of rosacea, your doctor may have prescribed a topical antibiotic cream, such as metronidazole. For more difficult cases of rosacea you may have been prescribed an oral antibiotic such as tetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline, or erythromycin.

Antibiotics are helpful treating the papules and pustules of Rosacea, but less useful for the redness and flushing.

Glycolic Acid peels along with antibiotics accelerate the healing. These peels usually take only 3 to 5 minutes, and done every 2 to 4 weeks, and the skin will remain red for several hours. During this time you shouldn't apply makeup. The peels to use may be combined with Glycolic acid washes and topical creams.

For the redness and flush of the face there is a solution, I watched it on the Dr. Oz Show and it is called medical makeup and it will cover the redness in the face from rosacea. It will cover flawlessly all day without touchups, and it costs the same if not less than regular makeup.

I imagine if you are reading this article you are having problems with covering your rosacea, and you are not feeling very good about how you see yourself in the mirror. I have seen the results of how this makeup covers the area, and it doesn't look like you have on a ton of makeup. Makkeup that is cakey and there is so much of it on your face you have a line of makeup around your jawline.

How To Cover Rosacea


This makeup will take all of three minutes to put on. There is a Redness Concealer, this Redness Concealer neutralizes red skin imperfections caused from rosacea.

There is also Cover Creme contains high purity pigments to match natural skin tones, delivers a flawless complexion and 12 hours of consistent color wear. This cover cream has 21 skin shades to choose from to match your skin tone.

If your looking for face powder there are plenty of shades to choose from, as well as face foundation, colour concealers, everything you need to make you feel better about how you look. There is no doubt in my mind you have tried numerous products from pharmacies, and department stores in your search to cover the blushing red in your face. I know you are trying get an even skin tone the complete your look.


When you feel good about how you look in the mirror, it makes you feel good inside!
If your looking for that confidence you lack because of rosacea, take the step of trying these products. If you are skeptical, and you have every reason to be, just try one of the products first to see the results. I am sure you will not be disappointed. From what I saw on Dr. Oz the doctor only used the cream and the setting powder and that was to cover a Port Wine Stain Birthmark, so I am quite sure it will cover your rosacea.

I Have Skin Bumps On My Arms And legs What Is It

Are you bothered by rough bumps on the back of your arms and legs?
Did you know it has a name? It is called Keratosis Pilaris(KP), also known as chicken skin.

These bumps on the skin makes the back of your arms and your legs feel rough to the touch. I know it doesn't make you feel very appealing especially if someone else is caressing your skin. You get your make up on, your all dressed and looking great, and there they are, chicken bumps. You want your skin to feel beautiful, clean and touchable.

What is Keratosis Pilaris(KP)


Anyone can get Keratosis Pilaris(KP). My daughter has been bothered with these bumps on her arms and legs since she was about 7 years old. Although it is commonly a skin condition of children and adolescents, many adults have this problem with KP. It is estimated to affect between 50%-80% of all adolescents and approximately 40% of adults. Women seem to be more affected by it than men.

This skin condition is benign, it is not contagious. This chicken skin condition tends to be mild. KP frequently improves with age with some, Many people notice improvement of their skin bumps in the summer months and seasonal flares in colder winter months.

Typically, your bumpy skin is a scattered, patchy rash made of very small red or tan bumps. Often, 10-100 very small slightly rough bumps are scattered on the skin area. The affected area may have a fine, sandpaper-like texture, you will notice some of the bumps may be slightly red.

What Causes These Bumps On The Skin


Although the exact cause of KP is unknown. There seems to be a problem with overproduction of the keratin part of the skin, and it's called hyperkeratinization. The bumps seem to rise from the excessive accumulation of keratin (very small, dry skin particles) at the opening of individual hair follicles.

With skin bumps treatment needs to be continuous. Since there is no available cure. Frequent skin lubrication is the mainstay of treatment for nearly all cases. Best results may be achieved with combination therapy using topical products and physical treatments like gentle exfoliation, professional manual extraction of whiteheads, facials, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels.

Mild cases of KP may be improved with basic over-the-counter moisturizers such as Cetaphil or Lubriderm lotions. Additional available therapeutic options for more difficult cases of KP include lactic-acid lotions (AmLactin, Lac-Hydrin), alpha-hydroxy-acid lotions (Glytone, glycolic body lotions), urea cream (Carmol 10, Carmol 20, Carmol 40, Urix 40), salicylic acid (Salex lotion), and topical steroid creams (triamcinolone 0.1%, Locoid Lipocream), retinoic-acid products like Retin-A, Tazorac, and adapalene (Differin).

There are also specially mixed "designer" combination, all-in-one prescription creams with multiple ingredients such as tretinoin 0.1%, hydroquinone 6%, and fluocinonide 0.05%. Another specially compounded combination prescription cream is a preparation of 2%-3% salicylic acid in 20% urea cream. These creams applied once or twice a day help to decrease the residual dry rough bumps.

Even though there is no known cure for this, you can keep it under control by continually exfoliating excess Keratin in the skin that can build up and form those unsightly bumps. There is a product that offers a two step kit for easy use as often as everyday. There is a body wash with a pouf included to cleanse and exfoliate. Then you just follow with the body lotion to smooth out the roughness to keep you skin bumps(Keratosis Pilaris)in check.


Keratosis Pilaris is a common skin condition characterized by small, red bumps primarily on the back and upper arms. The Glytone KP Kit will help reduce these symptoms. The 2 step system incorporates intensive glycolic acid levels to rid the skin of unsightly bumps.

Kit Includes: Exfoliating Body Wash, 6.7oz This glycolic acid cleanser helps to cleanse and exfoliate dry, rough skin in the shower. Body Lotion, 8.4oz This powerful glycolic acid lotion helps to visibly reduce rough, uneven skin for renewed smoothness.
