A Real Breakthrough; New Formula,

What people say makes us excited::

Yes, I DID receive your new formula. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I took some time off and went away for a long weekend. I am VERY impressed with the sample you sent.

I have used it about six times now, and I have really experienced great relief...more than any other product that I have tried so far! So, I am very happy to pass that news along to you. And, I am also very happy to have found a product that works.

It seems to work almost immediately. The smell as well as the color is much more pleasant than your last formula, too. Congratulations on a very fine product!! You must be very excited to share this with people.

Sincerely,

Mary Selfridge

 

Unsanitary salons breed bacteria

The demand for manicures, pedicures, massages and other beauty treatments cause women to scramble to salons. However, before you book anything, take note of a few health concerns that have been appearing recently in beauty salons.

In Sept. 2000, a California physician reported four patients that had similar infections below their knees. All the patients complained of prolonged breakouts of boils that left scars.

Their diagnoses was furunculosis caused by a bacterial strain known as Mycobacterium fortuitum. The report of these four cases was only a part of a large group of 110 patients discovered to have contracted the exact same sort of skin disease upon receiving a pedicure at a certain nail salon.

A nick, burn, or scratch from a contaminated cosmetic tool can lead to serious infections. Staph, parasitic, fungal, follicular and tubercular infections can all crop up due to a minuscule nick in a finger during a manicure or a waxing. In more serious cases, HIV, Hepatitis, Herpes and warts can be transmitted to customers.

Even improperly cleaned tanning beds can become a breeding ground of various bacteria for infections.

According to the New England Journal of Medicine, whirlpool footbaths given to the customers were rarely cleaned. In about 10 footbaths, the researchers discovered that all of them yielded positive evidence of mycobacteria growing behind the footbath's suction screen, as well as a lot of debris from skin, hair and nails.

Evidence showed that these areas were never cleaned, and became a breeding ground for not only the mycobacteria but also other "acid - fast organisms." These footbaths led to 110 discovered cases of furunculosis in the course of five months. By then, some of the cases were so severe, traditional antibiotics were not able to treat certain strains of bacteria.

Health advisors and physicians advise customers who are getting a pedicure to be aware of certain things when getting their nails done.

Look for the salons' license to operate. Also, observe if the workers are using disinfected instruments and that they are properly cleaned between each customer.

Autoclaving manicure and pedicure tools are ideal, although a proper germicidal solution also works if the equipment is soaked in it for a minimum of 10 minutes between each customer.

Health experts also advise against using an electric drill when obtaining acrylic nails. If you do insist upon using an electric drill, however, the most advisable method is to bring your own drill bits to avoid infection.

In waxing, a license is also necessary. A new applicator must be used for each waxing. There have been cases reported of eyebrow waxes which lead to conjunctivitis.

Most importantly, cosmetologists should be warned about these sorts of risks that arise in unsanitary and improperly cleaned instruments. As a result the importance of cleanliness and a comfortable environment is essential.
