Advice From a Skin Gym For Your Skin and the Real Gym

 

After a long layoff due to work and a nagging injury, I have finally gotten myself back on a consistent exercise regimen and am trying to watch my diet. While running on the treadmill today, I was trying to come up with a topic for this week’s post when the answer became painfully obvious – why not talk about exercise and its affect on the skin!

Don’t Be The Tanning Mom

Given the recent attention paid to the so-called “Tanning Mom” from New Jersey, I would be remiss to not write a post about tanning and your skin. Bottom line: tanning, whether via an indoor tanning booth or lying out in the sun, is not only bad for your skin, it can also be dangerous to your health.

I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane

The Dreamliner

As you may have heard, Japan Airlines has begun offering a direct flight between Boston and Tokyo on the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner. One of the cool features of the Dreamliner is that the body of the plane is made largely from carbon-fiber composite materials rather than the traditionally used aluminum. Among the many benefits of using these super-strong plastics is that the cabin humidity during a flight can be higher because there is not a concern that the plane will rust. Now, we are not talking Florida in the summer humid, but cabin humidity on the Dreamliner can be as high as 15% (compared to the standard 4-7% on a traditional plane). To give you a comparison, 15% humidity is the average relative humidity for Las Vegas in the middle of July.
