BEVERLY HILLS, CA, May 04, 2012 (Press-News.org) If you are one of the millions of Americans suffering from the pain of dry cracked skin, chances are you've searched the aisles of your local drug store for a cure only to be disappointed by product after product. And most likely you've invested hundreds of dollars over the years on lotions that just end up sitting on your bathroom shelves or in the trash.
You are not alone.
Wonder ingredients that go nowhere:
The skin care industry is a multi-billion dollar industry with companies racing to create the newest wonder ingredients and fight for top celebrity endorsements all designed to get you to purchase their brand. What many of these larger companies aren't telling you is that using their lotions could be prolonging your dry skin condition.
The truth about dry, cracked skin:
Dry cracked skin is a result of a damaged skin barrier that is not functioning properly. Normal, healthy skin has an intact skin barrier that protects the thin layer of natural lipids and keeps in moisture. Once the skin barrier becomes damaged the skin begins to lose it's own natural moisture leading to dry skin or skin irritation. Conventional lotions aren't designed to restore the skins barrier which is why many of them do not actually cure dry skin. Many conventional lotions use chemical ingredients that add an artificial layer of moisture to skin which just leaves skin feeling greasy instead of really handling your dry skin problem.
Dr. Lisa Benest, a board certified dermatologist, further explains why conventional lotions don't really work, "Regular moisturizers are designed to add moisture onto the skin. However it does nothing to repair the barrier so it's an endless cycle of constant moisture application onto the skin without healing and curing the dry skin. Many traditional moisturizers restore the moisture to the skin on a temporary basis, but after continued use actually send a message back to the skin saying it doesn't need any further moisture to be produced by the skin, and so we can end up with the opposite condition where the skin is less hydrated than prior to using the moisturizers."
A new discovery that shields your skin
That is why the researchers at 21st Century Formulations, a small US based skin care company, took years to develop and release its Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. Shielding lotion is a new category of lotion designed to restore and strengthen the skins own natural barrier. By strengthening the skins natural barrier Skin MD Natural allows your skin to heal itself, getting rid of dry skin for good. Skin MD Natural also has the added benefits of being free from gluten, fragrances, parabens, dyes, and other harsh ingredients that can damage your skin.
Skin MD Natural is the top selling natural shielding lotion that uses only the finest quality ingredients. To learn more about how Skin MD Natural can heal your dry skin visit our website http://www.skinmdnatural.com

Geisel researchers sift through 'junk' to find colorectal cancer clues
2012-05-04
Two researchers at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth have helped to identify switches that can turn on or off genes associated with colorectal cancer. The finding offers clues about the development of colorectal cancer and could—potentially—provide targets for new therapies. Jason Moore, Third Century Professor of genetics and the director of the Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Sciences, and Richard Cowper-Sal.lari, a graduate student in Moore's lab, were part of a team that included researchers from Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic. ...

Compared to the Q1 results of 2011, in which revenue was $75 million, the results for Q2 of 2012 is high at $94 million.

Rapid Sierra Nevada uplift tracked by scientists at the University of Nevada, Reno
2012-05-04
RENO, Nev. – From the highest peak in the continental United States, Mt. Whitney at 14,000 feet in elevation, to the 10,000-foot-peaks near Lake Tahoe, scientific evidence from the University of Nevada, Reno shows the entire Sierra Nevada mountain range is rising at the relatively fast rate of 1 to 2 millimeters every year.
"The exciting thing is we can watch the range growing in real time," University of Nevada, Reno's Bill Hammond, lead researcher on the multi-year project to track the rising range, said. "Using data back to before 2000 we can see it with accuracy better ...
Next-generation nanoelectronics: A decade of progress, coming advances
2012-05-04
Traditional silicon-based integrated circuits are found in many applications, from large data servers to cars to cell phones. Their widespread integration is due in part to the semiconductor industry's ability to continue to deliver reliable and scalable performance for decades.
However, while silicon-based circuits continue to shrink in size in the relentless pursuit of Moore's Law — the prediction that the number of transistors that can fit on an integrated circuit doubles every two years — power consumption is rising rapidly. In addition, conventional silicon electronics ...
The Course is Set for the Liberalisation of the German Sports Betting Market - Market Expected to Grow to CA. Euro 1.5 Billion By 2015
2012-05-04
The German states will soon enact the new Interstate Treaty on Gambling, which will liberalise the German sports betting market starting in 2012. Liberalisation in general always sounds good, but the question is whether it will turn into a success story in Germany. Therefore, the consulting and research company MECN has analysed the situation in depth and compiled the most comprehensive and detailed report on the German betting and gambling market available.

Revolutionary technology enables objects to know how they are being touched
2012-05-04
PITTSBURGH—A doorknob that knows whether to lock or unlock based on how it is grasped, a smartphone that silences itself if the user holds a finger to her lips and a chair that adjusts room lighting based on recognizing if a user is reclining or leaning forward are among the many possible applications of Touché, a new sensing technique developed by a team at Disney Research, Pittsburgh, and Carnegie Mellon University.
Touché is a form of capacitive touch sensing, the same principle underlying the types of touchscreens used in most smartphones. But instead of sensing electrical ...
Low oxygen levels could drive cancer growth
2012-05-04
Athens, Ga. – Low oxygen levels in cells may be a primary cause of uncontrollable tumor growth in some cancers, according to a new University of Georgia study. The authors' findings run counter to widely accepted beliefs that genetic mutations are responsible for cancer growth.
If hypoxia, or low oxygen levels in cells, is proven to be a key driver of certain types of cancer, treatment plans for curing the malignant growth could change in significant ways, said Ying Xu, Regents-Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar and professor of bioinformatics and computational ...

New protocol enables wireless and secure biometric acquisition with web services
2012-05-04
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed and published a new protocol for communicating with biometric sensors over wired and wireless networks—using some of the same technologies that underpin the web.
The new protocol, called WS-Biometric Devices (WS-BD), allows desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones to access sensors that capture biometric data such as fingerprints, iris images and face images using web services. Web services themselves are not new; for example, video-on-demand services use web services to stream videos ...
