Teen Acne
How do I help my teenage son and daughter head back to school this year with clear skin? The American Academy of Dermatology reports that nearly all young adults between the ages of 12 and 17 are affected by acne at least occasionally. Beyond being a cosmetic concern, acne can cause emotional scarring and damage to self-esteem during a critical time in a young person’s development. To keep skin clear, I recommend: A thorough consultation with a licensed skincare professional. A dermatologist...

Myofascial release
What it is A therapeutic treatment designed to alleviate muscle pain and restore range of motion through manual manipulation of the fascia—a sheet of fibrous connective tissue that covers and connects muscles, organs, and bones, as well as connects the skin to underlying structures.   How it works Therapists use fingers, knuckles, elbows, or forearms to elongate the fascia and release tightness caused by such factors as stress, injuries, or chronically poor posture. Stretching the fascia...
Anti-Aging Facials
Feeling self-conscious about your crow’s-feet or dark spots? Worry not. While basic facials have long been de rigueur for maintaining a clear complexion, spas are taking an even more targeted approach with anti-aging facials, incorporating potent ingredients that help erase fine lines, plump sagging skin, and restore a youthful glow, among other results.  A perennial favorite at spas and dermatology practices alike, vitamins are often incorporated into anti-aging products and treatments...
Plastic Surgery
Ever wonder what it would be like to change a facial feature (or two)? You’re not alone. Today’s appearance-focused culture has even the most confident among us scrutinizing our physical "flaws." It’s this quest for perfection that has propelled cosmetic surgery from an elite, hush-hush practice in the 1970s to a multibillion-dollar, widely accepted industry only a few decades later. In that time, there’s also been an evolution in the aesthetic treatments available, with traditional offerings...
Capella Pedregal
Few destinations can rival the drama of arriving at Capella Pedregal, a luxury resort located at the southernmost tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. As I ride up a hill past private gates that leave the bustle of Cabo San Lucas behind, I’m not prepared for what comes next: being transported through a thousand-foot tunnel cut into a stone mountain known as Pedregal.  When I emerge from the tunnel back into the midday sun, I’m stunned by a breathtaking ocean view. I am looking out from...
Sprudel
More: Can’t make it to Karlovy Vary? Here’s a schedule to help you recreate the pace at home. When in Karlovy Vary, the Czech spa town formerly known as Carlsbad, you do as your spa doctor tells you. So 45 minutes before breakfast, holding a small porcelain cup with a curved spout in my hand, I walked down the steep cobblestone street from my hotel, crossed a bridge over a steaming canal, and entered the Thermal Spring Colonnade, an angular building from the Communist era where people sat,...
Meditating Woman
1. Eat Wholesome Food A healthy diet not only boosts overall wellness but also helps prevent disease. According to physician and alternative health proponent Andrew Weil (who regularly holds wellness-related seminars at Miraval Arizona and is the mind behind the anti-inflammatory diet), a range of illnesses—including heart disease, arthritis, and some cancers—are partly caused by chronic inflammation in the body. “While genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors like stress and lack of...

Beauty Tips
What Are the Best Ways to Keep Skin Hydrated? I recommend “eating” your water instead of drinking it. Your skin—and your entire body for that matter—can receive essential hydration and vital nutrients much more efficiently through raw fruits and vegetables, which contain water locked into their structure. This structured water releases more slowly into your system so it provides you with ongoing hydration, unlike simple liquids that pass through your body quite quickly. The slower release...
