CE_HealthySkin_360x360.jpg

 SPF - SPF - SPF - We have heard it all before. SPF needs to be applied at all times. Regardless of climate, skin condition, and specially after a facial or chemical peel. It's times like these that we forget about the importance of proper SPF. We tend to walk around a lot and go places and ignore the importance of proper SPF. Obagi's Healthy Skin Protection ( pictured above ) has a seal of approval from the skin cancer foundation - Which means you KNOW you are fully protected against both the harmfull UVA and UVB Rays of the sun. Dont fool yourself with SPF's that dont protect you fully and can cause future damage.  For those going to a warmer climate or those with more compromised skin we also have a Physical Sunblock that will completelly protect your face from any sun damage - So you know you are in good hands. Dont let sun damage put a damper on your summer plans. PROTECT YOURSELF!!!!!

Because FRESH skin is HOT !!!!!

ObagiForLife_BlueBar.jpg

Out with the OLD and in with the NEW

Now that spring / summer  is here, its time to prepare our skins befre the heat of the  season. Contrary to the public opinion and scandalous media - who can forget the episode of sex in the city when someone gets a chemical peel and has to wear a veil for weeks.

Chemical peels are fast, easy and painless. They do remove dead skin cells and help reveal a healthier glowing skin. SPF after a procedure is mandatory. There are hundreds of types of chemical peels and they all address different concerns. We have very light chemical peels that just freshen up the skin giving you a nicer appearance. Those can be performed right before an event without any downtime.

Medium deph peels like Jessners or low concentration TCA will give better results and penetrate deeper on the skin and address concerns like enlarged pores, diminish fine lines, wrinkles and give you a more youthfull appearance that will last for an average of 4/6 weeks. How long those results will remain will depend on how well you are taking care of your skin and how much sun damage you have had in the past. Anyone and everyone can benefit from a chemical peel treatment. Do not need to wait until you start to see deep lines or severe sun damage. The same way that one doesnt need to wait till they reach the age of 45 to get a professional teeth cleaning. It's much easier and much less work to take care of skin care concerns before they become too hard to handle.

The Obagi Condition and Enhance is the perfect homecare system to go along your chemical peels procedure and maintain the results you have achieved from your medical professional.

Here are the types of chemical peels narrowed down for you:

Glycolics

Alpha hydroxy acids in concentrations of 30 percent or more are applied for two to five minutes (or more depending on skin texture and condition) to slough away the upper layer of dead skin cells as well as penetrate into the upper layers of the dermis to soften fine lines, promote a rosy glow, encourage better penetration of other skin-care products or even dry an acne flare up. Glycolic peels are no-downtime procedures, with mild redness or irritation the only likely after-effect. Results vary depending on skin condition and daily regimen product usage.

 Glycolic Acid Peels come in varied strengths and concentrations.

Power C – Peel

This is an amazing treatment for all skin types including even the most sensitive skin. Vitamin C will help skin appear firmer and more radiant, fighting environmental and free radical damage to help the skin’s immune response. This peel also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, patches, sun-damage and uneven texture. This is a perfect lunch time peel with no flaking of the skin or any down time.

Lactic Acid Peels

The 70% Lactic Acid peel is used for skin rejuvenation. Patients with acne, moderate wrinkling, or sun damage can achieve noticeable results in the look and feel of their skin New collagen and elastic fibers are produced in the dermal layer of the skin. Over a period of time, the skin’s surface begins to look younger and smoother. The restoration of elasticity actually causes the disappearance of fine lines!

Jessner’s

The common name for a deeper-peeling solution of resorcinol with lactic and salicylic acids, the Jessner’s solution is layered on the skin to treat pigmentation, acne, acne scarring and other skin irregularities. Aggressive peeling and occasional crusting forms within two to four days of the peel, depending on how many layers of the solution are applied and condition of the skin at the time of treatment. Redness and swelling may last a few days or more. Results are visible with new, clearer skin within 3 to 4 days.

Obagi Blue Peel System

If you’re looking to accelerate your Transformation and interested in a chemical peel procedure, then the Obagi Blue Peel System may be right for you. Obagi Blue Peel is conducted in your Physician’s office. Prior to and after the procedure, your Physician should recommend use of the Obagi Nu-Derm System or the Obagi Condition and Enhance System.

Unlike common alpha-hydroxy peels or at-home procedures, the Obagi Blue Peel puts control of your treatment in professional hands. Based on your individual needs and skin condition, your skin professional determines the strength of the peel.

The Obagi Blue Peel uses Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) as the active ingredient mixed with the patented Blue Base from Obagi. Your skin professional will apply the Obagi Blue Peel based on your level of damage and your desired level of Transformation.

Healthy Skin is HOT!!!!

nonsurgebox-bot (2).jpg

Over the years, your skin has been exposed to a number of environmental stressors, which cause damage that can reach the deepest layers of your skin. Photodamage, caused by the sun’s harmful rays, is the main cause of the fine lines, wrinkles and age spots that you may already see or you will eventually see on your face.

By addressing the signs of photodamage and restoring the healthy function of your skin cells, this system is clinically proven to result in younger- and healthier-looking skin.

Because of the medical nature of Obagi Medical Products, we are actually able to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, causing a healthy cell work out, making them fresh and new and removing the damaged skin cell that have been exposed to environmental and sun damage over the years.

Whats New in Skin Care? Reporting from the Annual Skin Care / Plastic Surgery Meeting

banner.jpg

 This week I just wanted to report on whats new in Skin Care. Seems like there's not too much that has changed.

1 - Home Skin Care - NOTHING replaces a good skin care regimen thas customized to your own skin care needs. Don't waste your time going shopping without know what's right for your own skin. Don't try to guess - There are skin care professionals and those that can help you for a reason. DO your reseach before you flip through pages of magazines or adds. I know the temptation is there.

2- SPF - SPF - SPF - We have heard it all before. SPF needs to be applied at all times. Regardless of climate, skin condition, and specially after a facial or chemical peel.

3- Talking about Chemical peels - Exfoliation is excellent for you. It will help your body get rid of cells that are just non functioning and bring bresher cells to the surface. Again consult with a professional to make sure you are doing this properly and dont over exfoliate. Most creams have some form of exfoliation but its nice to every week or two do something nice for you. Again dont go on your own on a shopping spree. use what is right for you.

4- Tanning bed and spray tanning - As usual a big no no. No matter that they say out there. It will speed up the aging process and make you look very undesirable. We have enough skin cancer patients as it it.

5- If you know anyone who has cancer or skin cancer we just partnered with a wonderful organization www.lookgoodfeelbetter.org - To help men, women, and teenagers look better and regain self esteem after going through chemotherapy and other treatments.

6- The battle of the neurotoxins - Botox VS Dysport. There is not a very strong evidence or clinical trial. But from what i have seen so far men should always ask for BOTOX. We gave strong mass muscle which we will benefit more from a more precise product. Dysport can be used as a touch up or as more of a prevention treatment. If you have lines that are more stubburn or need a little more help i'd say BOTOX!!!!

Should you have any specific questions, do not hesitate in contacting me at 646-290-0749 or

Get Ready For Spring with Obagi Medical Products

Obagi Professional-C Serums™

Your skin deserves all the protection you can give it from daily exposure to the sun’s damaging rays and environmental conditions that cause premature aging. Visible signs of aging, those fine lines and wrinkles, are caused by tiny molecules known as ‘free radicals.’ Free radicals dramatically multiply with exposure to sun, air pollution and other environmental assaults, ravaging skin cells and breaking down collagen that gives skin its youthful resilience.

How It Works

Obagi Professional-C Serums use advanced scientific formulas developed and tested by leading Vitamin C experts. Obagi Professional-C Serums offer maximum daily antioxidant protection and greater penetration than other Vitamin C products. The greater the penetration, the greater the antioxidant benefit to your skin.

Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals to prevent skin cell damage. Professional strength Vitamin C can give your skin the superior protection it needs to:

 

  • Prevent premature signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles
  • Protect against future damage
  • Stimulate collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin
  • Lighten and brighten skin for more even tone


 

  The Obagi Professional C serums can be used with your current skin care regimen. After cleansing in the morning apply the proper concentration all over face and get ready to glow. Obagi Medical will give you the healthy glowing skin that you have been looking for.
To learn more about our wide rance of skin care products, visit http://www.obagi.blog/ or email - Mention this gaysocialites for 10% off your products and a complimentary skincare consultaiton.

What is the difference between GRID and AIDS?

DID YOU KNOW?

After Thursday night's episode of Grey's Anatomy, everyone is asking what the difference between GRID and AIDS is.

In a flash back episode, the doctors were treating a patient with GRID (Gay Related Immune Deficiency).  GRID later became known as AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).

In July 1982, a team realized that GRID may be offensive and started using the term AIDS instead.

Now you know.

Fitness guru Ken Hunt offers advice on body image issues

FIT FACTOR

By: Ken Hunt

Does this sound like you?

You are the first one at the gym in the morning. You continue to train despite a nagging injury. Your idea of free time is heading back to the gym for an hour or so of cardio. Missing a workout is not an option. Are you obsessed with exercise? Ask yourself these questions:

  • Do I feel that I absolutely cannot miss my workout? If I do miss a workout, do I feel extremely guilty and uneasy?
  • Do I feel that I have to exercise even if I notice that instead of helping my body, I am damaging it?
  • Am I preoccupied with my body's appearance, weight and muscle mass?
  • Do I spend a lot of time looking at myself, scrutinizing myself and measuring myself?
  • Am I getting more injuries?
  • Do I hear family and friends expressing concern about my exercise regimen or appearance, yet I still don't stop exercising?
  • Do I feel like I can't stop exercising?

If you answered “Yes” to 3 or more questions, then exercising might be interfering in your life. And you may be at risk for developing an exercise disorder.

Fitness guru Ken Hunt celebrating his birthday in NYC

ken_hunt_bday.jpg

All of the GaySocialites would like to wish a Happy Birthday to fitness guru Ken Hunt.  Ken is a great friend of ours around here.  He's not only our trainer and voluntary security detail, but he's also a great friend!

Ken is also an internationally renowned fitness expert, the owner of Steel Gym and a syndicated fitness columnist.

Tonight Hunt, a GaySocialite himself, will be celebrating his birthday at the new Thursday night party, Apple Jack at La Pomme in New York City.  Hosts Matt Tratner, King Ralphy, Dina Marie Delicious and Ricardo Studmuffin will be helping Ken knock back some booze and celebrate another year.

I'm told tonight's Apple Jack is guest list only, but if you come to the door dropping King Ralphy, Dina Marie or even Ken's name - then you might be able to talk your way in!

If you'd like to wish Ken Hunt a happy birthday yourself, you can do so via Facebook or Twitter.

by Ken Hunt

It’s hard to find time to exercise, but now you don’t have that excuse: How about working out at work?

There are opportunities everywhere if you pay attention. All it takes is a little planning and some inspiration to squeeze in some exercise all day long.

You already know the drill about being more active to, from and at work, but there are some other things you may not have considered.

Giveaways: Name that celebrity booty and win! [NSFW]

GIVEAWAYS

[Editor's note: Since I'm an idiot and forgot that Monday was a holiday. This contest has been extended until Tuesday at noon, so start guessing!]

Name that celebrity booty and win! 

Here's how it works.  All you have to do is guess who owns that gorgeous celebrity booty pictured here.

There's a better picture of this amazing ass after the break, but it might be NSFW.

Here's your hint:  This reality star is definitely known more for his abs but has beautiful eyes and clearly has some junk in the trunk.  Not only do I think this guy is one of the hottest reality stars ever, but I might even call him one of the hottest guys alive.

The winner gets a FREE one month membership to Steel Gym.  Just leave a comment below (with your e-mail address that will NOT be displayed on the site.) and take a stab at this ass!  Feel free to leave your guess even if someone else already use it as the winner will be chosen randomly by those with the correct answer.

Deadline for entries is noon on Monday.  The winner will be revealed in Monday's Afternoon Delight.

Charles On... Universal healthcare for all Americans

CHARLES ON...

For those of you who haven't heard, I was recently hospitalized to have surgery on my hand.  It wasn't too serious of a deal, but it wasn't exactly a fun experience either.

That's why I'm writing this special weekend edition of Charles On.

After a visit to my regular doctor ended up with orders to go to the hospital, I landed a nearly week-long visit at Bellvue in New York City. 

A fine hospital that dealt with my hostility, and as it turns out - Bellevue offers discounted health care to New Yorkers who aren't insured.

HEALTH AND FITNESS

by Ken Hunt

I have always believed that in order to be physically fit you have to develop “mental toughness.”

So here are some tips to help you develop that tough mental attitude you need to succeed in meeting your fitness - and life goals!

Listen to the experts. Read biographies and listen to audio programs that talk of winners who have overcome tremendous obstacles and setbacks to become successful.

They are people just like you. So if they can do it, WHY CAN'T YOU?
