Lymphatic Drainage Face Massage Explained by Beauty Experts - Camille Styles

Image
We've all seen the mesmerizing videos on Instagram where a relaxed, glossy face is methodically kneaded. And thanks to the mainstream popularity of things like Gua Sha, we know those movements aren't just for show. A lymphatic drainage face massage can depuff, detoxify, and lift our skin, sculpting a glowier, taut complexion with nothing more than hands. And though "lymphatic drainage" is officially in the beauty zeitgeist, that doesn't always mean we fully understand the ins and outs of how it works. (I self-identify as a skincare junkie, and even I get a little lost on how to explain it beyond it's good for depuffing! ) For a little enlightenment, we turned to the pros—celebrity facialist and brand founder Joanna Vargas; plastic surgeon and Solvasa co-founder Dr. Ritu Chopra; and Jordan Dorn, co-founder of Zuma Nutrition—to get a fuller understanding of the process, and how to do a lymphatic drainage face massage at home. Every product is cura...

After mastectomy some women don't want to replace their breasts - The Washington Post

Image
During her training as a breast surgeon, Deanna Attai, an associate professor at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine, read studies and heard mentors say that women who opted against breast reconstruction after a mastectomy generally had a lower quality of life. But Attai found that didn't jibe with what she was had been seeing online in the past few years: Facebook groups with names such as "Not Putting on a Shirt" and "Flat and Fabulous" that included many hundreds of women's happy stories — and photos — about their choice to have an "aesthetic flat closure,'' the term used by the National Cancer Institute starting in 2020, and forgo breast reconstruction. So Attai did her own survey of close to 1,000 women who'd had a single or double mastectomy without reconstruction. Published last year in Annals of Surgical Oncology, it found that close to three-quarters of the women said they were satisfied with the outcome. No government or org...

The Election Conspiracy Theories Driving Tina Peters to Run in Colorado - The New York Times

Image
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Just six weeks before the 2020 presidential election — game day for vote-counting bureaucrats — Tina Peters was so proud of her operation at the Mesa County clerk's office that she invited a film crew in to show it off. There's no chance of mishap here, she boasted. "The Russians can't hack into and start casting votes for someone," she said, as a few in the office chuckled. By May 2021, it was Ms. Peters, not the Russians, who had helped engineer an audacious breach of voting machines, according to an indictment charging her with seven felonies. Ms. Peters arranged to copy sensitive election software from county voting machines in an attempt to prove the 2020 presidential election was rigged, according to court records. Prosecutors said she committed identity theft and criminal impersonation, and violated the duties of her office in the process. Ms. Peters has pleaded not guilty. The strange tale of Tina Peters — a once-ordinary public ser...
