Q: Erica, I have been working out regularly and trying to eat healthy. But, I have some stubborn cellulite on my legs that won’t budge! How can I get bikini-ready for the summer?
A: We have a wonderful FDA-approved treatment for cellulite available for you! The VelaShape has been proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite while loosing inches at the same time. Clinically proven results are visible in as few as 4 treatments. Best of all, this new body shaping treatment can be performed in about 30 minutes.
Q: I hear about different sunscreens and sun blocks sold at various department stores and pharmacies. Is there really one SPF better than the next? Without getting too confused, how can I choose the best one for me?
A: Choosing correct SPF coverage can be confusing. Regulating authorities are even proposing a ban on products claiming coverage over SPF 50. For daily use, (if you work inside) I'd recommend an SPF of 10-15. If you spend most of your days outdoors, an SPF 30 or higher is sufficient. Remember, always use a sun block containing active ingredients such as Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide which cover both the UVA and UVB rays.
