Don’t spend crazy money on skin creams, like this one with 23-karat gold particles mixed in. Oftentimes, expensive products are just promises in a jar.
Ask Dr. Yagoda to select a product for you…and, drink lots of water, (a packet of BeautyScoop will work wonders), eat well, and get plenty of rest. And, when it’s time to amp it up, ask Dr. Yagoda about fillers, injections for wrinkles, peels and lasers, too!

Glottal fry. It is about as trendy as the new iPhone 4S. It’s that sultry and almost guttural sound–the low, vibrating one that happens at the end of certain sentences, meant to impart mystery and desire. Kim and Christina do it. So does Britney in her song “Oops, I Did It Again.”
In fact, according to scientists at Long Island University in Brookville, NY, in a soon to be published article in Journal of Voice, more than two-thirds of college-aged women are using the lowest register of their voices to speak in glottal fry. Wondering what’s the harm in the “low down?” It’s actually a form of vocal abuse that can lead to vocal cord inflammation, polyps, or even nodules.

Karen B asks: I am 49 years old and thinking about eyelift surgery, but none of my friends have had it yet and I am afraid. Can you tell me how much pain I should expect and how much time off I will 
need? Also, can I combine my surgery with my beach vacation during the recovery period?
Answer: Good news, Karen…eyelift surgery for droopy upper lids is one of the easiest cosmetic surgeries to recover from because it is virtually painless! Numbness from surgery lasts long after the anesthetic wears off. In fact, it takes about three weeks for the skin’s sensory nerves to regain feeling. So, aside from eyelid heaviness (from swelling), you shouldn’t be at all uncomfortable. But, even though you may feel great, and even though you may be raring to go, you have just had surgery. You need to take some time off to heal — five-to-seven days to be exact. During this time, you can shop, dine, and walk to your heart’s content, albeit with some restrictions. No carrying a heavy purse while shopping, and no lifting purchases weighing more than ten pounds. You can choose any food on the menu, but no alcohol! And, you can walk for as far and as long as you desire, but no matter how great you feel, you shouldn’t gather your swimsuit or boarding pass. No flying because changes in air pressure can cause bleeding and delay healing, and no beach because the sun can permanently darken the incision line.
Do you have a question for the doctor?
Vinegar is some seriously powerful stuff, and most people have it in their own homes. A few weeks ago, The New York Times printed a report about a highly effective cervical cancer screening method whose secret is vinegar. The procedure, developed by experts at Johns Hopkins in the 1990s, was endorsed last year by the World Health Organization. In this procedure, vinegar is brushed on the cervix and precancerous cells turn white. Quicker, easier, less expensive, and more accessible than the traditional Pap smear, the vinegar treatment is simply amazing!
But vinegar isn’t just useful in gynecologists’ offices–you can also use it right in your own home! And no, I don’t mean in only in the kitchen. Vinegar is a fabulous ingredient to use for BEAUTY and WELLNESS too. Here are a few vinegar tips:
