Make-up mission
Benefit cosmetics does not just make products - it also creates personalities for its products. In the case of the POREfessional, the character is Spy Gal, who battles "evil yuck agents."

Twisted image
They're fixated by fitness magazines, measure what they eat, know what they weigh - and they may not be the gender you surmise. "What's happening," says personal trainer Kevin Durio, "is that guys are just as susceptible to magazine covers as women are."

Roses have such a romantic - and expensive - scent. The best way to experience it is via hand creams, as they usually use concentrated essential oils.

Knockout blow for the elderly
General anesthesia for the elderly increases the risks of dementia by more than a third, according to a study by French doctors. Researchers led by Francois Sztark at the University of Bordeaux in southwestern France analyzed data from a long-term study into cognitive decline covering 9,300 elderly people in three French cities.

It is not unusual for people aged 35 or above to suffer from low back pain induced by slipped disk in the spine. Acupuncture, appropriate stretching exercises and physiotherapy are typical non-surgical treatments to relieve the pain.
