...Arlaina Reeves Prof. Vega ENC 1101 30 October 2014 Skin Deep Different skin tones get certain privileges than others. Back in the days “Whites” (Caucasian) didn’t really care for “Blacks” (African-Americans). They bought them over from Africa as slaves treated them poorly and sold them off as if they were nothing. People today in certain parts of the world African-American people are looked down upon and judged because of the color of their skin. Racism is a very powerful word and it has a disturbing meaning behind it. Of course, everyone interrupts this word differently so there are different meanings. According to the dictionary, racism has three different meanings. The first being, a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various humanraces determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. The second, a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination. And finally, hatred or intolerance of another race or other races. So, all these meaning of the word racism are mostly the same but that was the dictionary’s view on the word not people. One may feel that the word is very an act of harm doing to those of a different nationality or culture. Thus, the word’s definition may different from someone’s personal meaning and the dictionary. Racism was popular in the 1800s and early to mid-1900s. Yes it still exist but not as...

...It was the title of this article that caught my eyes at first place. Along with the content develops, however, I feel like I want to change the “Nonconformity is Skin Deep” to “Conformity is Skin Deep”. But I guess this is exactly why I am into this piece. This article is brief, sharp, and ironic. We know that in the past, people would feel ashamed of talking about wearing tattoos. The way that people tried to avoid getting connected with tattoo in the past hardly makes people believe that today tattoo has developed a prosperous market worldwide. When we think of tattoo, it’s not hard for us to think of the pain when people etched images into their skin. For those of people who want tattoos, they have to experience it and this process does not change over time. Also, the way people wear tattoos slightly varies. From your neck to toes, places of your body that can add images are always there. So generally speaking, nothing about the tattoo itself is distinct. What has changed and made tattoo matters nowadays are the perceptions of people toward wearing tattoos. Some people tattooed because they want to memorize their loved ones, living or dead. Some tattooed because they want to tell the story behind the symbol and they expect people come and ask them question about the arts made on their skin. Some tattooed simply because they want to express themselves and mark themselves as nonconformity. But the thing is, do people really need to mark themselves to remember...

...Beauty is only skin deep Beauty is only skin deep. What does it refer to? It refers to the fact that one can be beautiful on the outside and mean or unpleasant on the inside. Now, let me ask you a question. When you look at yourself in the mirror, what do you see? Do you think you're beautiful? Firstly, it's important to state that it has never been harder for people nowdays to feel good in their skin . Even though we have so many things to help us- new, improved makeup, cosmetic products and even drastic medical procedures, the majority of people still don't feel confident about how they look. And, whose fault is that? Magazines, billboards and other print media push a fantasy world on us filled with perfect, bronze complexions, smooth skin, and unbelievably thin, toned frames. You will never find a blemish, cellulite, stretch mark, or any other imperfection on a model in a magazine. On the one hand, many skeptics have opposed the view that "Beauty is only skin deep" . They believe that beauty is always important because all human beings love being beautiful. Moreover, they think that beauty can ensure for the future happy life. But they forgot one really important thing. Others won't like you just because you're beautiful. To sum up, in dictionary it says: „ Beauty is the combination of all the qualities of a person or thing that delight the senses and please the mind. We should learn something from that. Beauty is more than skin deep when one acquires the beauty of...

...Psoriasis: More than skin deep HCS 245 January 10, 2010 Psoriasis is a noncontagious common skin condition that causes rapid skin cell production resulting in red, dry patches if thickened skin. Although, psoriasis is classified as dermatologic disease, it doesn’t start in the skin, and its damage may be more than skin deep. In fact, the very name is borrowed from an ancient Greek word meaning an itchy or scaley condition. Psoriasis is a chronic condition that strikes both male and female from infancy to the elderly. It can range from mild to severe. Environmental factors play a role; psoriasis has been linked to psychological stress, obesity, smoking, alcohol, strep throat, viral infections, lack of sunlight, and certain medications (antimalarial drugs, lithium, beta blockers, etc.) Psoriasis comes in many forms and about 90% of patients have the plaque type, which is sharply demarcated salmon-pink plaque of inflamed skin covered by silvery scales(July, 2010). Other types of psoriasis include: • Guttate psoriasis- The second most common form of psoriasis. Gutta means droplet. Patients have numerous small, red, scaley spots scattered on the arms and legs. The trigger to the disease is usually a streptococcal (bacterial) infection. The eruption of the lesions on the skin usually happens about 2-3 weeks after the person has strep throat. The outbreak can go away and not reoccur. Outbreaks may also go away and come back, particularly if the person is a strep carrier...

...One way or another, a person will have some sort of skin condition in his or her lifetime. Whether it is acne or allergies, skin conditions are very common and affect almost everyone on the planet. But there are some skin conditions that are not very known to most, like when the hair follicles are infected by some form of bacteria or foreign matter. This can cause some uncomfortable feeling, especially if it is already affecting one’s daily activities. Such a condition is called folliculitis. Types of Folliculitis Folliculitis is a condition of the skin wherein the skin surrounding the follicles or the follicle itself is inflamed or swollen. This is usually caused by a certain bacteria or virus and can spread to other surrounding follicles if not treated sooner and eventually, the skin might turn crusty.

...Achieving a stunning tan skin is no longer the time-consuming and sometimes expensive process it used to be. With tanning pills there is no longer any need to schedule solarium visits or to slot time to go down to the beach. For a long time the best alternative to the two aforementioned options was to use skin tanning lotions aka pour-ons. These lotions feature an active ingredient i.e. dihydroxyacetone (DHA), and which is a colourless sugar that eliminates the dead cells atop the skin's epidermis. This interaction results in the skin becoming tanned and the effect can last for up to a week. However, as a result of the skin shedding its dead cells everyday and the body renewing the epidermis after forty days, the tan effects also die away, leaving behind unsightly patches....

...Burn Wounds: For a burn wound you would start by having a clean face so the latex can properly stick to your skin. Latex can catch baby hairs so Vaseline and a wig cap can be helpful. You start with a very thin layer of latex on the portion of your body you would like burned. Then when it has dried you take the exacto knife and very carefully cut that small layer of latex and pull it to create small holes. To give a blister look, however don’t go too deep if you feel any pain stop immediately. You would then cover your face in a foundation similar to your own skin color then in another layer of latex, fake blood cannot stick to most foundations because it has an oily base, which is why the next layer is necessary. Once those have dried you...

The kind of red that is pulsing through your veins this very moment the kind so deep and purely red its almost black thick and heavy creates the curtain over your face that hides your true feelings, the emotion and pain that you don’t dare to reveal to anyone and face the questions of what’s wrong what happened are you ok. With each strand of once so curly hair. Now just a tired wave from being stressed and straitened flawless to perfection not a hair out of place because it is the key to secrets it holds them tight but eventually it becomes frayed and the secret splits multiplying each separate strand. Eyes of grey with the depth and feeling of a sky right in the middle of a storm the clouds rolling over and turning darker as the storm increases they are the windows to the soul. That reveals pain and fear actions that others wouldn’t dare look deep enough inside to see. Eyes that have seen the pain of 1,000 people and felt the lies of 1,000 more. Pale and still not daring to move the lips are the door to the mind and soul keep locked by a lost key that contains the ability to unlock true opinions and thoughts less than happy none the less...

Suggested Title: Will Microdermabrasion be the right treatment for your acne scars? Also known as diamond and lunchtime peel, microdermabrasion is a popular treatment for tackling mild to moderate acne scars and skin issues such as fine lines and hyper pigmentation. Not to be confused with its more invasive counterpart, dermabrasion, micro-peel only removes superficial dermal layers. So, although the results are surprisingly good, there is very little down time. Another factor to consider is that because of the limited inflammation that results from the skin peeling, microdermabrasion can easily...

...Amanda Burns HNC1B LO3 Electrotherapy Machines Tutor- Sharon Bain Contents: High frequency Galvanic (face and body) Vacuum suction (face and body) Faradic Infra - Red Paraffin Wax Audio Sonic Health and Safety Legislation Bibliography Electrotherapy is a range of beauty treatments that use electrical currents passed through the skin to produce many therapeutic effects. In this report I have researched and written about nine machines and the effects they have on the body. High Frequency. The high frequency machines can be a small table top unit or a large free standing unit, with many of the larger units housing a number of different electrical equipment. Most units have two switches: one on/off and the other to control intensity. Once the unit is switched on it produces an electrical impulse which passes through an electrode that delivers a current to the client. There are several electrodes which fit into the handle that is attached to the machine via a lead. Each electrode is made of glass, normally with a metal end which is pushed into the handle. The electrode has a small amount of either air, neon, or mercury sealed within. Once the machine is switched on the current flows from the unit to the handle and connects to the electrode via the metal end. The air or gas within the electrode becomes ionised and is dispersed into the tissue area. The electrode will glow: Violet-Air Orange-Neon Blue violet-Mercury There are two methods of application...

Initially, the way a person looks plays an important role in our society. Our generation becomes conscious on aesthetic beauty and they base this on the trend nowadays. “Youth, clear skin, a symmetrical face and body, feminine facial features, and an hourglass figure —are those indicating that a woman would be a healthy, fertile candidate to pass on a man's genes.” This is an example said by Amy Alkon of how women should look for them to be seen as appealing and for men to be easily attracted to them eventually. Most women in this era struggle on numerous ways on how to become beautiful and maintain their physical appearances even at the risk of spending much money.
