| Water therapy for healthy skin
Water is a precious gift to mankind and forms almost 70 per cent of our body weight.
Therefore can you imagine how important water is for the smooth functioning of the body systems.
Lack of sufficient water causes:
Dehydration,
Difficulty in blood circulation,
Body gets less active and more tired.
Water also keeps the digestive tract in order
Helps to flush out the toxins and controls constipation.
No wonder then, that water acts as a natural remedy towards achieving a beautiful and healthy skin.
Dehydration due to decreased water intake or increased loss by way of evaporation leads to premature ageing. In this, the dehydrated skin shows in the form of fine lines and dryness.

The Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Center, 2912 17th St., at St. Cloud Regional Medical Center will open Monday.
The center will use advanced wound-care techniques to heal wounds that have resisted traditional treatment.
Physicians and clinicians will work with patients and their physicians to provide advanced treatments from bioengineered skin dressings to hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
"Every wound is unique," center director Reed Stephan said. "While the causes of chronic nonhealing wounds can be complex, our multidisciplinary team of physicians and clinicians has received extensive training in the latest advances in wound care and hyperbaric medicine. We develop a personalized treatment plan for each patient. Whatever it takes for healing to occur, we're equipped and staffed to make it happen."

An online marketplace for the planet's premier collection of natural and organic beauty care, the beauty of Beautorium is its natural simplicity. It takes the guesswork out of hunting for the truly natural, truly organic, good-for-your-skin beauty ware so all that's left is the gathering. The beauty marketplace at large is saturated with "organic" products and it's hard to know what's real and if it works. Having done the homework, Beautorium has hand-picked and carefully screened each and every brand it offers to ensure consumers get the most out of a positively organic experience. Why organic and natural beauty care? Ann Francke and Barry King, the forces behind Beautorium, have forty combined years of industry experience; they know that taking good care of skin means knowing what you put on it.
GREEN GODDESS
Looking beautiful never felt so healthy. That's because beauty counters are going green from head to toe with eco- friendly concoctions that are not only safe for your skin but great for the planet, too. Even Hollywood is getting in on the act: Natural beauty Kate Hudson has joined forces with hair guru David Babaii, whose client list includes Angelina, Uma and Gwyneth, to create a line of hair products that are "tested on Kate, not on animals." Hudson helped choose the ingredients for Babaii for WildAid's Hydrating Shampoo and Hydrating Conditioner, like volcanic ash from the Vanuatu Islands in the South Pacific, which is said to add volume to the hair, to butter harvested from the Amazon, used for its hydrating properties. (Proceeds benefit WildAid, an eco-force working towards ending the illegal wildlife trade and save endangered species around the world.) Kiehl's introduced their antioxidant-rich Superbly Restorative body lotion and dry oil this month.
From the Archives: Dan's Mom on Amputee Attraction
Hey, everybody: If you missed last week's column, I'm taking a week off because, well, go read last week's column if you care to know. Here's an old column—from May 24, 1995—to tide you over until my return next week. It not only features my mother, but also my boyfriend's very first mention in the column. And as you'll see, last week wasn't the first time I gave Mom the credit for my very curious career. —Dan Q. You recently wrote something about people who "are only attracted to amputees." Well, I personally have been attracted to female amputees for as long as I can remember. Have other people written you about this amputee-attraction phenomenon? I get very excited when I come across a single-legged girl crutching along or encounter a pretty young woman with an empty sleeve dangling where an arm should be.
