Getting the Glow Back Post Chemotherapy by Lindy Snider Founder and CEO of Lindi Skin, a manufacturer of skincare products for cancer patients. "These products are simply great for any skin, but are specifically designed to treat those with special needs," said Snider. "Through my friends' battles, I realized that people with cancer are still people first. It has been proven that when you look good you feel good, and that little bit of positive reinforcement can be empowering."
Oxidative Stress, Aging and Free Radical Biology, by Charlene DeHaven, MD, FACEP, a board-certified physician in internal medicine and emergency medicine, and the medical director for IS Clinical, a skincare products company in Glendale, CA. Oxidative stress is the harmful condition that occurs when there is an excess of free radicals, a decrease in antioxidant levels, or both.
Transformation - The Art of Camouflage Make-Up Technique Demonstration, by Nancy Ogden West, Skin Enhancement Center, Mayfield Heights, OH. In the last few years we have seen many new formulations of camouflage enter the market. These products are derived from new ingredients that the FDA has approved, including the latest formulations and the high-tech technology available to manufacture today. Product selection requires consideration of various aspects: discoloration, texture of the area, size, and the patient's ability to duplicate what you have taught them. Various types of camouflage formulas for professionals will be demonstrated along with an analysis of the factors that effect product selection.
"Skin care professionals have always known that taking care of your whole body is very beneficial for the maintenance of an overall skin-care regimen," says SPSSCS President Donna Chang. "Skin care has come a long way in the past 12 years, at this meeting we always try to learn new ways to promote overall health and beauty -- bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and skin care after chemotherapy are just two of the topics on the meeting schedule that will help us to promote over-all wellness for our clients."
