Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder. Its symptoms vary in people: from redness, flushing (blushing) to visible large blood vessels, red acne-like bumps, and thicker skin around the nose.

Although last week’s weather has been beautiful and warmer than usual, fall has arrived, along with some warm and exciting makeup looks. Bold beauty is definitely back! Therefore, trying out some new trends is the best way to spice up your latest fall fashions. From the classic smoky eyes to vibrant shades, the following ten makeup trends for Fall 2022 are anything but boring.  

I recently came across the following story told by Rabbi Efrem Goldberg of Boca Raton. A 70-year-old woman had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. While on the operating table, she had a near-death experience and asked Hashem if her time was up. He told her directly that she had a bit over 23 years left to live. The woman figured she would take advantage of the situation and maximize her time in the hospital. She opted for a face lift, liposuction, changed her hairstyle, and decided to get colored lenses to complete her total makeover.  She thought this would be worthwhile since she had many more years on earth.  When she came home from the hospital, she was crossing the street and got hit by a car.  Arriving at Hashem’s doorstep, she demanded, “I thought you said I have another 23 years left; why didn’t you save me from the speeding car?!” Hashem answered her: “I would have, but I couldn’t recognize you.”

As we head towards the days of judgement, we embark on the serious task of examining our lives and doing teshuvah for any wrongs we have committed throughout the year. Nevertheless, Rosh HaShanah is always filled with hope for the New Year, because Hashem is compassionate, forgiving, and willing to accept our prayers and repentance. 

Eyebrows enhance the beauty of your face by providing a frame for your eyes and the parameters in which to place your eye makeup. Even if you’re not a big fan of makeup, a well-defined brow can certainly give you a more polished appearance in a most natural manner. 

3D technology for facial reconstructive surgery is like a blueprint for a building, except it involves the face, and the architects are surgeons. Doctors can now use this Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) technology to create digital 3D representation to improve a deformity due to an accident or tumor. Surgeons can incorporate this software to form a detailed plan for the most complicated surgeries, way before making an initial cut.
