KOMPAS.com - Salah satu masalah kulit yang bikin banyak perempuan gelisah adalah selulit. Meski selulit cenderung bersembunyi, di lipatan paha misalnya, tetap saja kehadirannya mengganggu. Memiliki tubuh yang mulus, bebas lemak, dan ideal, menjadi dambaan banyak perempuan. Salah satu alasannya adalah agar tampil lebih percaya diri. Apalagi bagi mereka yang profesinya mengharuskan tampil di muka publik dengan imej sempurna, seperti Puteri Indonesia.

Puteri Indonesia Lingkungan 2010 Reisa Kartikasari (25) mengaku memiliki selulit di tubuh terdalamnya. Postur perempuan yang sedang melanjutkan studi master kesehatan masyarakat ini sebenarnya terbilang ideal. Namun, masalah selulit ini berangsur menghilang sejak Reisa melakukan perawatan holistik selama tiga bulan.

"Sejak melakukan perawatan tubuh 1-2 kali seminggu tiga bulan lalu kini selulit mulai menipis, lingkar badan juga menurun," jelas Reisa, usai menghadiri talkshow yang diadakan BPPT bersama Mustika Ratu di Jakarta, Rabu (2/2/2011).

Perawatan yang dilakukan Reisa tak hanya dari luar, tetapi juga dari dalam, dengan jamu-jamuan atau minuman herbal. Anak bungsu dari dua bersaudara ini juga mengasup lima jenis vitamin setiap harinya untuk merawat kecantikan kulit dan kesehatan tubuh. "Vitamin A dan C terutamanya," akunya. Reisa juga rajin fitnes dua kali seminggu dan Yoga setiap Jumat di Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa sekali seminggu. Keseluruhan perawatan yang dilakukan perempuan asal Yogyakarta ini, diakuinya membuat tubuh lebih fit, bugar, dan rileks.

"Back to nature, kembali kepada perawatan tradisional memberikan dampak baik bagi tubuh. Seperti meminum jamu, beras kencur, gula asam, atau minuman herbal lainnya, selain massage dan spa," tambah perempuan yang juga ingin melanjutkan pendidikan spesialis kulit ini.

Perawatan spa mengatasi selulit
Selain olahraga, selulit juga bisa diatasi dengan perawatan spa yang dilakukan intens seminggu sekali. Dengan perannya sebagai duta kecantikan dan lingkungan didikan Mustika Ratu, Reisa punya perhatian khusus dengan perawatan selulit. Maklum, selulit di bagian paha, tangan, perut, dan bokong dirasa mengganggu perempuan muda dengan banyak cita-cita ini. Untuk mengatasinya, Reisa memilih perawatan selulit di Taman Sari Spa selama 2,5 jam setiap kali sesinya.

Perawatan biasanya dimulai dengan scrub, massage selulit, masker, hydro bath, dan diakhiri dengan penggunaan hand body lotion. Ritual ini mengurangi tampilan selulit, mengencangkan kulit, menghaluskan kulit, memberikan mineral dan nutrisi pada kulit, serta mencerahkan kulit.

"Memiliki tubuh yang ideal dan penampilan yang segar bikin lebih nyaman dengan diri sendiri dan tambah percaya diri," jelas perempuan yang bermimpi mendirikan spa, klinik kecantikan, dan menjadi dokter untuk badan kesehatan PBB WHO ini.

Breast cancer is one of a woman's worst fears. It is the most common cancer among women and it is also the number cause of cancer death among women. This disease when caught early can be treated trough chemotherapy and surgery. However, when the signs and symptoms are neglected and the disease progresses, it might be too late. Because of its detrimental effect not only to the physical but psychological as well, many breast cancer foundations were established such as the Susan B. Komen Foundation. These foundations and clinics are exerting effort to promote cancer awareness. Women all over the world are encouraged to take part in the movement to prevent this disease. Women should participate in many activities such as breast cancer awareness week so that they will know the basic facts about this type of cancer. More importantly, women should do their part in cancer prevention. In order to prevent this disease, it is important to understand the risk factors and signs and symptoms of the disease.

Risk Factors

There are many possible causes or risk factors of breast cancer. Some of the risk factors can be avoided but some cannot be avoided. Examples of risk factors which are unavoidable are family history of cancer, age and certain genome changes. Having a mother, sister or daughter with breast cancer increases a person's chance of developing it. In the case of age, the risk increases as a woman grows older. Changes in some genes such as the BRCA1 (breast cancer 1) or BRCA2 will also increase the risk.

Risk factors which can be avoided include lack of physical activity, being obese, undergoing radiation therapy on the chest area and drinking alcohol. Women who do not have an active lifestyle are more likely to develop breast cancer as well as other diseases than those who live an active lifestyle. Being overweight can also affect a person's chance of developing it, and more so after menopause. Research shows that women who had radiation therapy on the chest area before the age of 30 or younger have an increased risk of cancer. Drinking alcohol is also a known risk factor of the disease and other diseases as well.

Signs and Symptoms

There are several signs of breast cancer women should be aware of. These signs include changes in the shape and size of the breast and the development of a lump in or near the breast or in the underarms area. Other signs to watch out for are discharges from the nipple especially bloody discharges and dimpling in the breast skin. When the breast skin, nipples and areolas become red, scale or swollen, women should also consult the doctor because these are symptoms of cancer also.

Prevention

The prevention of breast cancer is not very difficult. First, women should be aware of the different signs and symptoms. If they notice any of the signs and symptoms mentioned, they should go to the doctor for tests. In addition, it is very important to avoid the risk factors mentioned above. Those who have unavoidable risk factors should undergo cancer tests every now and then. Do not wait for the development of the disease before going to the doctor. Women today are fortunate because they can easily find good sources of cancer facts which can help them prevent breast cancer.

Pasta Gigi Bisa Menyembuhkan Jerawat

SHUTTERSTOCK Jika panjang bulu mata tidak sama, gunakan bulu mata ekstension. Artikel Terkait: Pelembab Wajah Bisa Bikin Jerawatan? 5 Hal yang Perlu Diketahui Sebelum Facial Bukan Kacang yang Mengundang Jerawat Junk Food dan Soft Drink Bikin Jerawatan? Amankah Berganti-ganti Pelembab? GramediaShop : Yogyakarta GramediaShop : Barbie Jumat, 4/2/2011 | 08:31 WIB

KOMPAS.com — Sebagai perempuan Anda tentu sepakat, kita akan melakukan apa saja supaya tetap terlihat cantik. Selama berabad-abad, perempuan sudah mencoba berbagai krim, minyak, pasta, gel, dan lain-lainnya, dengan tingkat keberhasilan yang bervariasi. Banyak pengobatan yang dianggap sebagai ramuan nenek moyang dan diturunkan dari generasi ke generasi. Tetapi sejauh apa sih kita mengetahui efektivitas di balik tradisi perawatan kulit kita? Sering kali nasihat orangtua itu justru hanya menjadi sekadar mitos.

Nah, untuk memisahkan antara mitos dan fakta, Sally Penford, manajer edukasi di The International Dermal Institute, memaparkan sejumlah mitos kecantikan dan menjelaskan apa yang benar.

1.
Benar dan salah. Pasta gigi biasa tidak akan menyembuhkan jerawat. Tetapi, menurut Penford, ada beberapa jenis pasta gigi yang ternyata memang bisa membantu. Pasta gigi yang mengandung mentol bisa memberikan efek pendinginan yang meredakan peradangan dengan cara mengeringkan jerawat. Tetapi jangan lupa, tindakan menyumbat pori-pori juga akan berisiko.

2. Moisturizer hanya dipakai untuk kulit kering
Salah. Menambahkan kelembaban ke kulit berminyak tampaknya bertentangan, tetapi Penford menekankan bahwa semua jenis kulit membutuhkan kelembaban, bukan hanya kulit kering. Pelembab baik untuk kesehatan kulit Anda karena melindungi kulit dari sinar UV, mencegah keriput, dan melembutkan kulit untuk pengaplikasian make-up. Moisturizer juga tersedia dalam berbagai variasi sesuai jenis kulit, termasuk untuk kulit berminyak.

3. Cokelat membuat kita berjerawat
Salah. Kita memang perlu menjaga agar asupan gula kita tetap rendah. Namun, jenis kakao yang ditemukan di dalam dark chocolate sebenarnya justru menguntungkan bagi kulit. Sebuah studi mendapati bahwa bubuk cokelat memiliki antioksidan hampir dua kali lipat dari yang ditemukan pada anggur, dan tiga kali lebih banyak daripada teh hijau. Jenis antioksidan ini mudah dimetabolisasi dan berguna di dalam tubuh. Meskipun begitu, Anda tetap tak disarankan mengonsumsi cokelat dalam jumlah terlalu banyak. Bagaimanapun, makanan ini termasuk tinggi kalori.

4. Faktor genetik akan menentukan bagaimana penuaan kulit
Benar dan salah. Faktor genetik memang memainkan peran dalam proses penuaan kulit, tetapi bukan satu-satunya faktor penentu. Yang benar, faktor-faktor genetik hanya menentukan sekitar 10 persen penuaan kulit, demikian menurut Penford. Sisanya, disebabkan oleh lingkungan kita. Ada berbagai faktor eksternal lain yang memengaruhi cara kulit kita menua. Contohnya, paparan sinar matahari, pola makan yang salah, dan kebiasaan buruk, seperti merokok dan minum minuman alkohol.

5. "Petroleum jelly" baik untuk menumbuhkan bulu mata
Salah. Petroleum jelly (vaselin atau campuran minyak mineral, parafin, dan mikrokristalin) tidak akan membantu pertumbuhan bulu mata. Justru bahan ini bisa menyebabkan peradangan dan lemak di wajah akibat penimbunan minyak. Jika panjang bulu mata Anda tidak sama, lebih baik Anda mencari produk bulu mata ekstension. Solusi ini akan lebih cepat terlihat hasilnya. Belilah bulu mata palsu yang berkualitas baik.

6. Makanlah ikan berminyak jika kulit Anda kering
Benar. Ikan kaya akan minyak omega yang baik untuk kulit. Asam lemak omega-3 diperkirakan sangat membantu kesehatan membran-membran sel kita, mengatasi nyeri sendi, dan meningkatkan kemampuan otak. Jenis minyak ini kebanyakan ditemukan dalam ikan berminyak (ikan pelagik), seperti ikan teri, herring, makerel, salmon, atau sarden.

Breast Cancer Facts - Learn the Real Truth About This Disease

Article Word Count: 723[View Summary]Comments (0)

Breast cancer is among the three most common types of cancers. It is the most common kind of cancer in women, even though it can develop in men as well. Another important fact to take into account is that this is the second most lethal type of cancer in women, after lung cancer. Given all these facts, it is worth learning more about this condition, its characteristics, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

The breast consists of milk producing glands. They are connected to the opening of the skin in the nipple by ducts. This gland and duct structure is connected by tissue consisting of fat and fibrous tissue. There are also blood vessels, lymph nodes and nerves in this part of the human body, just like in any other part.

Most commonly breast cancer occurs in the milk ducts and in the milk glands. It is characterized by changes in the cells that make them abnormal. These abnormal cells grow rapidly and uncontrollably to form carcinomas. The tumors in the ducts are called ductal carcinomas, while the ones in the glands are called lobular carcinomas.

There are different stages of the development of the cancer in the breast. It starts as a small lump, a confined tumor, or with calcium deposits. If these remain unnoticed, the cancer starts to spread to the rest of the breast. When the tumor reaches the lymph nodes, its abnormal cells can travel to other tissues and organs through the blood stream. In turn, patients with advanced breast cancer have can have abnormal growths in the lungs, liver or bones.

The exact causes of breast cancer are unknown. However, researchers have identified the main risk factors that increase a woman's chances of getting the condition. Women who have had benign tumors in the breast are more likely to develop the condition. Those who have first-degree relatives with the condition are at two to three times more likely to develop breast cancer. The presence of the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 also increases the risk. Recent research shows that women exposed to higher level of estrogen are at greater risk as well. Smoking, alcohol consumption, weight gain and obesity and lack of exercise are also considered risk factors, even though they are less significant.

Most breast cancer symptoms are not present in the early stages of the development of the tumor. The first warning sign is usually a lump that can be felt in the breast or in the underarm area. The lump is not painful, but it is persistent even after menstruation. At later stages, the lump can become painful. Swelling in the armpit is another common symptom. In general, any flattening or denting of the breast is a warning sign. This is also applicable to changes in the texture and skin as well as the temperature of the breast. Any notable changes in the nipple and discharge from the nipple are also common symptoms of this condition.

Breast cancer is diagnosed with mammography. This is a special x-ray designed to identify any changes in the breast tissue and abnormal growths, in particular. Before such a test is done, the physician examines the breast to determine whether mammography is necessary or not.

The first type of breast cancer treatment is surgery. It can be either mastectomy or lumpectomy. The surgeon removes the tumor and any surrounding tissue and lymph nodes that may be affected. The surgery is usually followed by radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy, so that any abnormal cells remaining in the body can be eliminated. Hormonal therapy and biological therapy are also part of traditional breast cancer treatment.

Breast cancer treatment has a high success rate. Every 9 of 10 women, who have undergone treatment for breast cancer, survive at least five years after this. This is considered curing. In addition, 5 of every 10 female patients go on to love for 10 years or longer. Despite this, it is not uncommon for this condition to reoccur.

The best method for breast cancer prevention is regular screening. Women are advised to have regular clinical breast exams after the age of 20 and regular mammograms after the age of 40. Frequent self-examination is equally important. In general, the balanced diet, the reduced consumption of alcohol, nonsmoking and exercising regularly can reduce your risk of getting the condition.
