In fact, while bakuchiol is frequently mentioned in the same breath as retinol, it’s effective enough to deserve the spotlight on its own. “Bakuchiol promotes cellular turnover and skin repair,” says Peterson Pierre, MD, a cosmetic and medical dermatologist in Thousand Oaks, California. “It stimulates collagen production, thereby improving tone, texture, fine lines, and wrinkles. It fights free radical damage, decreases inflammation, and has antimicrobial properties.” Here’s everything you need to know about bakuchiol, how it compares to retinol, and some product recommendations to try.

30 Ways Your Heart Is Not Working Correctly, Say Doctors
May 4, 2021
The most common type of heart disease is coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to a heart attack. Coronary artery disease occurs when plaques composed of lipids, cholesterol, calcium and other materials develop in the walls of the blood vessels that feed the heart. If allowed to progress, the narrowed arteries can’t deliver sufficient blood to the heart resulting in painful cramps known as angina or chest pains. “If the arteries get clogged, you will suffer a heart attack,” explains Peterson Pierre, MD, founder of the Pierre Skin Care Institute.
While this spring is feeling particularly cathartic, the change of season can cause all sorts of skin problems to bloom especially for those with reactive skin.
Notes dermatologist Dr. Peterson Pierre, MD of the Pierre Skin Care Institute:
“As we move from winter to spring, we tend to spend more time outdoors and there’s a greater chance of exposure to chemicals such as poison ivy or poison oak as well as insect bites which can trigger allergic reactions. Spring also brings a rapid rise in pollen count which can trigger allergies and be particularly problematic for those with sensitive skin. The warmer weather can lead to more sweating and potentially more acne breakouts. In addition, changes in the weather can trigger eczema flare-ups for reasons that are currently unknown.”

38-year-old Long Beach mother dies while undergoing plastic surgery in Tijuana, family says
May 3, 2021
A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon says the bigger picture is the issue of medical tourism, something Americans often seek because of issues of affordability in the U.S. But Dr. Rady Rahban believes going to other countries like Mexico for plastic surgery is too risky.
“You don’t have anywhere near the same rights as you do in the states and frankly you’re at the mercy of these clinics,” said Rahban. “Unfortunately, surgery is one of those things where if you pay more you don’t get more, but if you pay less you get less.”
“A blood pressure of 150 to 160 … is normal for a cat under pressure,” says Dr. Werber, chief veterinary officer of Airvet, a national pet telehealth app that has over 45,00 vets on call.
But if it’s lower than 120 (which is rare) or more than 160, Dr. Werber says it could be a flag that something else is wrong. Dr. Werber discusses what high or low blood pressure may indicate, symptoms to watch out for and how to take your cat’s blood pressure at home.

I’ve worked with Arlene Howard for years. In the fast-paced, cut-throat world of live morning television, Arlene stood out among the hundreds of publicists emailing and calling in pitches to me. Why? Because she does not pitch generically. She knows her client, she knows her media outlet and she sends pitches that are personally crafted. I am in awe of her energy, perseverance, persistence and genuine love of helping clients get the exposure they deserve. She is a creative mind and always brainstorming who and how to put her clients on the map. Any business looking for an A+ publicist would be lucky to get Arlene and her team behind them.
