not caused by dirt.

How to Get rid of acne?

Acne is not life threatening but it can leave behind not only skin scars but also emotional scars. Up till now, the general consensus was leaving acne alone. “However,” says Dr Madnani, “Acne should be treated because treatment can cause a phenomenal change in one’s personality — a self conscious individual can turn into an extrovert. Also, individuals with mild acne can get psychologically affected; doctors trivialise the problem whilst patients exaggerate or underplay depending upon the psychological impact.”

Don’t worry, even Hollywood stars like Keira Knightley admit to having acne days!

Each person requires his own assessment and treatment program. Doctors usually recommend an over the counter (OTC) or prescription topical medication to be directly applied on the pimple or on the entire area of affected skin.

A common ingredient in many of these acnecontrolling skin care treatments is salicylic acid, which helps to remove dead skin cells, encourages peeling of the top layer of skin and the opening of plugged follicles. Using only one ingredient will help but many people may need something more specific. Oral medications (antibiotics) too may be advised in case of severe acne.

Wedding-day Make-up Tips

Make-up: The number-one thing brides need to know about wedding-day make-up is that there shouldn't be any surprises.You want to look like yourself - but with more oomph! This generally means that less is more, and you should stay close to your natural look.

For some reason many brides make the common mistake of going completely overboard with their hair and make-up. Ladies, please refrain from looking like a transvestite Broadway star or your wedding photos will haunt you for life. To find your make-up style, collect magazine photos of make-up looks you love.

If you plan to use a professional makeup artist, it is a good idea to book her about four months before the wedding, and experiment with colours and techniques, along with the artist well before the date. It is also helpful to bring a good picture of yourself so the artist can see how you normally photograph, to help determine which features to play up. For the base, start with a long-lasting foundation.

A beauty secret you can use is to apply wrinkle control base, because it has better coverage and moisturises as well. Check the shade you buy in natural-light and as for eyes, think smudge-proof and waterproof - tears of joy shouldn't trigger smears of worry. Even if you don't usually wear eyeshadow, try adding just a hint of colour for the big day.

Avoid bright coloured lipsticks e.g. Fuchsia, bluereds and burgundy; these colours will appear dark and some times black in photographs.

Avoid frosted eye colours as they can be too reflective and flare at the camera, although modern shimmery looks are okay if applied correctly.

5 Tips to Keep Flu Away

How avian influenza spreads to humans?

People need to have close contact with infected birds or poultry manure to get avian influenza. The virus is found in bird faeces and respiratory secretions. There is no evidence of person-to-person transmission of the virus at this time.

Is it safe to eat cooked chicken meat?

Yes. Chicken meat should be cooked properly. If the virus was present in chicken meat it would be killed in the cooking process. All uncooked chicken meat, including frozen meat should always be handled hygienically. Wash hands and surfaces after contact with raw meat and separate raw meat from other raw foods. However, the person that is cutting up (processing) the raw chicken would need to take proper sanitation and safety precautions.

Is it safe to eat eggs?

Yes. Egg shells may have been contaminated with bird faeces. All eggs should be washed before sale but it is prudent to apply careful hygiene when handling an egg such as: washing the outside of eggs or washing hands after handling an egg. Eggs should not be separated into yolk and white by bare hands. Proper cooking of eggs is recommended. Particular care needs to be taken with foods that contain eggs that are not cooked such as mayonnaise and mousse.
How can the virus be killed?

Heat over 70 degrees celsius for 30 minutes will kill the virus. At 80 degrees the virus is killed in one minute. Good hygiene by hand washing and cleaning of surfaces will remove the virus.

Can a flu vaccine provide immunity?

Vaccines effective against a pandemic virus are not yet available. Vaccines are produced each year for seasonal influenza but will not protect against pandemic influenza. Although a vaccine against the H5N1 virus is under development in several countries, no vaccine is ready for commercial production and no vaccines are expected to be widely available until several months after the start of a pandemic.
