Why Retinol is important

Published by

Retinol is a form of Vitamin A and is commonly used in skincare products to improve the appearance of aging skin. As a dermatologist, I often recommend retinol to my patients for its various skin benefits. Retinol is a powerful ingredient that has been shown to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone, and increase skin firmness. It works by increasing cell turnover and boosting collagen production, which leads to a more youthful appearance. One of the key benefits of retinol is its ability to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity and firmness, which leads to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol helps to boost collagen production, which is a protein that provides structure and support to the skin. This increase in collagen leads to firmer, smoother skin, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Another benefit of retinol is its ability to even skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots and …

Sleep and sleep training for babies and young children

Published by

Sleep is an essential component of good health for people of all ages, but it is especially important for babies and young children. Adequate sleep is critical for a child’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development, and is essential for growth and repair of the brain and body. Despite the importance of sleep, however, many families struggle with sleep training their babies and young children. Sleep training refers to the process of helping a baby or young child establish healthy sleep habits, such as falling asleep independently, sleeping through the night, and sticking to a regular sleep schedule. Sleep training can be a challenging process, and can require patience, consistency, and support from parents and caregivers. One of the most important steps in sleep training is establishing a consistent bedtime routine. This may include activities such as bathing, reading, or singing, and should take place at the same time each night. A consistent bedtime routine helps to signal to the child that it is time to go to sleep, and can promote feelings of calm and …

Mental health and emotional well-being for both parents and children

Published by

Mental health and emotional well-being have become increasingly important topics in recent years, particularly in the context of parenting and family life. Both parents and children can experience challenges and struggles in these areas, and it is important to understand the impact that these challenges can have on families and to seek help when needed. One of the biggest challenges facing parents is the stress and pressure that can come with parenting. Parents may struggle with feelings of guilt, exhaustion, and burnout, and may also experience difficulties in their relationships with their children and partners. To maintain their own mental health and emotional well-being, parents can prioritize self-care and seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals. In addition to supporting their own well-being, parents also play a critical role in promoting the mental health and emotional well-being of their children. This includes providing a supportive and stable home environment, modeling healthy coping strategies and emotions, and being available and responsive to their children’s needs. Children’s mental health can also be supported through activities …

via Trump Exploring Panel On Vaccine Safety – Disability Scoop WASHINGTON — Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has warned of a discredited link between childhood immunizations and the development of autism, has accepted an invitation from President-elect Donald Trump to lead a commission “on vaccine safety and scientific integrity,” he told reporters Tuesday. A Trump spokeswoman would not confirm Kennedy’s comment. Kennedy, son of the late U.S. attorney general, said the president-elect “has some doubts” about vaccine policies but said both of them were in favor of vaccines. “His opinion doesn’t matter, but the science does matter, and we ought to be reading the science and we ought to be debating the science,” Kennedy said. “Everybody ought to be able to be assured that the vaccines that we have … (are) as safe as they possibly can be.” Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for the Trump transition team, said only that the president-elect was “exploring the possibility” of a commission, but that no decision has been made. “The president-elect enjoyed his discussion with Robert Kennedy Jr. …

How To Pick Apples

Published by

Fall is the best time to visit a local farm and pick fresh apples.     HOW TO PICK ‘EM Pick apples that are smooth, firm, and free of bruises and punctures, which speed decay. While shine isn’t the best indicator of ripeness (many supermarket apples are waxed), the apple should look vibrant in color.

HOW TO STORE ‘EM Apples do best in cold storage; at room temperature they quickly become mealy. Keep them in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. Wash apples when you’re ready to use them. HOW TO EAT ‘EM Try apples in all types of salad: Apple and Fennel Salad with Parmesan: Toss thinly sliced apples and fennel with chopped fresh parsley, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Top with shaved Parmesan.   APPLES   Cortland: Sweet and tender American variety Season: October to January Best for: Applesauce …
