Why You Need To Apply Sunscreen To Your Ears
Can you believe it? YOU CAN GET SKIN CANCER ON YOUR EARS! "I find a lot of pre-cancer on the ears," says Howard Murad, M.D., a dermatologist in Los Angeles.

The Two Parts to Combatting Cellulite
For years we've been learning that cellulite is stored fat, and that it's mostly found in women because the structure of their skin and fat layers is different than in men.
