How to pick the perfect moisturizer
 

Once the furnace kicks in, our skin starts to crave moisture. Choose the cream that'll work for you
By Bonnie Malott

1. For parched skin
For dry and cracked skin, choose a thick, oil-based moisturizer with urea or propylene glycol, says Benjamin Barankin, a Toronto-based dermatologist. "These last longer than water-based lotions because they prevent water from evaporating off the skin."

What are Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks are thin, linear scars that develop in males and females after rapid growth or rapid weight gain. Stretch marks commonly occur in boys and girls during puberty, where there is rapid growth and weight gain, and during pregnancy. Bodybuilders, especially if they take steroid drugs, can develop stretch marks. Stretch marks are purplish-red in colour. With time they fade to silvery-white lines.

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the correction or restoration of form and function. Though cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is the best-known kind of plastic surgery, most plastic surgery is not cosmetic; plastic surgery includes many types of reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns. Surgery is an ancient medical specialty that uses operative manual and instrumental techniques on a patient to investigate and/or treat a pathological condition such as disease or injury, or to help improve bodily function or appearance.
Dentistry is the branch of medicine that is involved in the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity, the maxillofacial area and the adjacent and associated structures, and their impact on the human body. To the layman, dentistry tends to be perceived as being focused primarily on human teeth, though it is not limited strictly to this. Dentistry is widely considered necessary for complete overall health. Doctors who practice dentistry are known as dentists. The dentist's supporting team – which includes dental assistants, dental hygienists, dental technicians, and dental therapists – aids in providing oral health services.
Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin and its diseases, a unique specialty with both medical and surgical aspects. A dermatologist takes care of diseases, in the widest sense, and some cosmetic problems of the skin, scalp, hair, and nails. Dermatologists have been leaders in the field of cosmetic surgery. Some dermatologists complete fellowships in surgical dermatology. Many are trained in their residency on the use of botox, fillers, and laser surgery. Some dermatologists perform cosmetic procedures including liposuction, blepharoplasty, and face lifts. Most dermatologists limit their cosmetic practice to minimally invasive procedures. Despite an absence of formal guidelines from the American Board of Dermatology, many cosmetic fellowships are offered in both surgery and laser medicine.
Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance of a person's teeth, gums and, or bite. Many dentists refer to themselves as "cosmetic dentists" regardless of their specific education, specialty, training, and experience in this field. This has been considered unethical with a predominant objective of marketing to patients. The American Dental Association does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a formal specialty area of dentistry. However, there are still dentists that promote themselves as cosmetic dentists.
