| Baby acne
WHAT is neonatal or baby acne? Neonatal acne is a very common rash found on babys cheeks during the first several months of life. It is caused by the hormonal stimulation of glands in the cheeks. This rash is usually not present at birth. It usually appears between two and four weeks of age. Not all babies get it but a large number do. The acne will be most prominent when your baby is upset or overheated (increased blood flow to the skin), or when his skin is irritated. If his skin comes into contact with cloth laundered in harsh detergents, or becomes wet from saliva or milk that he has spit up, the condition may appear worse for several days. Common symptoms of baby acne Baby acne, as with all medical conditions, has some common symptoms. Usually the acne first appears to be a rash with small pimples that are red in appearance.
Mortal Kombat's New Finishing Move: the Nintendo Wii
Thought the Wii was going to be chalk-a-block with "non-games" that only Japanese housewives enjoy? Oh, no, no. To appease thirteen year-olds and man children like Florian, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is going to be ripping spinal chords out on the Wii. The game is heading to the console sometime during first quarter 2007. Cannot wait to see exactly how finishing moves like pulling out an opponent's beating heart will work with the Wii-mote.

UNMASK YOUR SKIN WITH CONFIDENCE THIS SUMMER
The summers here and suddenly our skin is under scrutiny. As we unmask ourselves with barely there make-up and summer clothes we are faced with the realisation that our skin is anything but glowing. But rather than concealing poor skin we should be looking after it with a healthy summer skin care regime that allows us to show its full potential. Help is at hand from Saguna, producer of natural deep cleansing mask, Silicol Skin, who has teamed up with skin expert Karen Jessett, author of Clear Skin and founder of www.acne-advice.com, to provide tips for maintaining a clear complexion as we unmask our skin for the summer. The summer heat and humidity can cause breakouts because the skin produces more oil and sweat, helping to spread spot-causing bacteria. This, coupled with exposure to the sun and the resulting dehydration of the skin, means it is crucial to maintain a healthy skin care regime, says Karen Jessett.
Crackdown on backstreet Botox clinics
A WELSH skin specialist has welcomed a crackdown on beauty clinics after evidence emerged that patients are being disfigured by rogue operators. Unlicensed treatments that can harm the health of those seeking a youthful look include laser therapy, Botox injections and anti-wrinkle skin fillers. The Healthcare Commission now plans to use covert surveillance to monitor thousands of unregistered clinics using lasers and intense pulsed lights to remove facial hair and skin blemishes. So-called "mystery shoppers" will check whether the clinics are trading unlawfully by offering services without any official checks on safety standards. Offenders could be prosecuted if they fail to register after warnings. The commission is to produce a leaflet for people considering cosmetic surgery to help them reduce risks.
