What are you doing to prevent yourself from becoming one of them? http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/06/Three-out-of-Five-Sunscreens-Don't-Work http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/06/Three-out-of-Five-Sunscreens-Don't-Work Wed, 01 Jun 2011 22:21:00 GMT Every doctor, myself included, will expound upon the benefits of sunscreen. We'll emphasize how sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, lowers your chance of skin cancer and slows the aging process. We convince you not to leave the house without it. So you head to the store ready to heed our advice and then get stuck when confronted with 47 different brands of sunscreen; because really, how is the average person supposed to tell the difference? http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/04/Moobs-or-Male-Breasts-Are-No-Laughing-Matter http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/04/Moobs-or-Male-Breasts-Are-No-Laughing-Matter Tue, 12 Apr 2011 11:27:00 GMT “Moobs” – it’s a word that causes most of us to snicker, but they really aren’t a laughing matter to any male who suffers from them. Moobs (male boobs), or enlarged male breasts, happen when fatty tissue accumulates over the pectoral muscles and are normally caused by three things: obesity, genetics and a medical condition called gynecomastia. http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/04/Four-Healthy-Lifestyle-Choices-Slash-Cancer-Risk-by-80% http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/04/Four-Healthy-Lifestyle-Choices-Slash-Cancer-Risk-by-80% Mon, 11 Apr 2011 21:12:00 GMT An eight year study of 23,153 German participants aged 35 to 65 years found that four simple healthy lifestyle choices slashed the participants' cancer, heart disease and diabetes risk by 80%. http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/03/Anti-Aging-Makeup-Ingredients http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/03/Anti-Aging-Makeup-Ingredients Mon, 21 Mar 2011 10:37:00 GMT Good Morning America recently did a good piece on anti-aging makeup products.

Happy Monday! http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/02/Vitamin-K-Treats-Dark-Under-Eye-Circles http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/02/Vitamin-K-Treats-Dark-Under-Eye-Circles Wed, 16 Feb 2011 22:16:00 GMT Sometimes no matter how much rest you get, you still wake up to dark under-eye circles. While fatigue can be a contributing factor to dark under-eye circles, it’s not the only culprit. Heredity, nasal congestion, alcohol consumption, allergies, gluten intolerance, and the use of birth control products can all contribute to the lovely “shiner” look everyone hates. The other sad truth is that dark under-eye circles are a normal part of aging. As we get older, our skin thins and we lose fat and collagen. This combination makes the reddish-blue blood vessels under your eyes more obvious. http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/02/SmartXide-DOT-Laser-Eye-Treatment http://www.ia-houston.com/blog/2011/02/SmartXide-DOT-Laser-Eye-Treatment Wed, 16 Feb 2011 20:49:00 GMT Want fresher, lifted, tighter skin around the eye area without the expense, invasiveness or recovery time of a surgical eye lift? A SmartXide DOT Laser eye treatment might be your answer.
