Acne solutions occupy the minds of our teenagers. With acne being the most common skin complaint in the world, and teenagers being the most body conscious people in our society, acne solutions are keenly sought by our young.

However the search for “acne solutions” or “acne cures” rests on the assumption that acne can be cured, much the same as it is assumed that many other medical problems of the modern age can be cured. The reality however, is different. Real acne solutions are just that, solutions, not cures.

It is a symptom of our fast fix society that if we have a problem we want an immediate fix. If we can’t fix it ourselves we assume that technology will come to the rescue and provide a simple, painless low cost fix in a bottle.

Acne, unfortunately, isn’t so easy.

Acne affects, according to some, up to 95% if teenagers at some time in their teen or early adult years. It can be serious and debilitating, mild and easy to control, or usually somewhere in between. The market for acne cures is huge, billions of dollars.

And of course there are a myriad of acne remedies out there all claiming to be the one and only. The magic bullet of acne cures. The one stop fix for every teenagers troubling acne.

Millions are spent in advertising these so called acne cures or acne remedies. Wild claims are made about their effectiveness. Guarantees are offered that they will work.

However the reality of acne is that scientists still do not fully understand what causes it. The causes of acne are thought to be hormonal, or more specifically a hormonal imbalance, but the mechanism isn’t fully proven.

So despite the fact that the market for acne remedies is huge, it is still true that acne cannot be cured. Acne is a condition caused by some mix of as yet unknown factors at work in the body, and will only stop when the body decides it’s time for it to stop. Until then it will, or can, continue and this process is independent of attempts to cure it.

Does this mean that there are no acne solutions? No not at all. Quite the opposite. It just means that people searching for acne cures need to approach the problem with the right perspective.

Don’t expect to find the “perfect” acne cure. The one secret potion that, when applied, will immediately clear up all those annoying spots in a few days. That, once the cure has been effected, it will be unnecessary to apply the product any more.

Look at it this way. Good acne solutions do exist. They can be a little hard to find because what works for some may not work for others, so you may need to try a number of products until you find the one that works for you.

And once you have found the acne control that works for you don’t expect to use it for a while and stop. Acne isn’t cured, it’s managed. Once you have the spots under control you then need to practice active acne prevention by continuing to use the product until your body says “enough is enough”. And observing some basic common sense precautions.

It’s a question of attitude and expectations. Go into it looking for the perfect once only “acne cure” and you will be disappointed. Understand that acne is a natural body condition that can be controlled with some effort once the right product has been found.

That it will not stop until it has decided to and that you may well need to keep using the product for quite some time until it does. And that as a huge percentage of your friends will also get it at some time it is just a part of growing up.

Acne cures? There aren’t any. Acne solutions? They do exist, and there are some very good ones. But you need to understand the difference.

If you are thinking of using a flashgun - stop and think. Do you really need to? Are there alternatives? Usually there are.

Why should you even start to consider alternatives? There are a number of reasons:

- Flash light is usually very directional and harsh - it does not give flattering results

- Flash light gives a flat image

- Flash light reflects off some skin tones giving harsh highlights

- Red eye is more likely with flash

- Flash drains the camera battery more

Flash is usually used in lower light conditions. As the light drops, the chances of blurred images increases. Flash will overcome this problem, but cause others.

How else might you get the picture without flash?

First of all, open up the aperture to the maximum. This will allow the camera to choose a faster shutter speed. For every f-stop the aperture is opened, the shutter speed decreases by half.

Secondly, increase the ISO on your camera. The higher the ISO the faster the shutter speed can be to produce enough light to create a decent image.

Thirdly, steady the camera. If the shutter speed is slow enough that you may be concerned about camera shake, steady your camera either with a tripod, a bean bag built for the purpose, by putting it on a firm structure (e.g. a wall or table), bracing yourself against a firm structure or such like. You can also use the self-timer to allow the camera to take the shot without out risking it moving provided the camera is on a firm surface.

Then compare your flash shots with your non-flash equivalents. Which do you like better?

Is the recent interest in vitamin E justified? The facts about
vitamin E are still being discussed.

Although taking vitamin supplements is generally a daily routine
with most people, the benefits of vitamin E in the human body is
not clearly established, but it is known to be an essential
nutrient in more than 20 vertebrate species. The vitamin plays
some role in forming red blood cells and muscle and other
tissues and in preventing the oxidation of vitamin A and fats.
It is found in vegetable oils, wheat germ, liver, and leafy
green vegetables. Vitamin E is popularly advocated for a wide
range of diseases, but no substantial evidence has been found to
back these claims. In fact, recently there have been conflicting
reports regarding the benefit of vitamin E. Although vitamin E
is stored in the body, overdoses appear to have lower toxic
effects than do overdoses of other fat-soluble vitamins. The
benefits of vitamin e supplements have been widely discussed and
there are various opinions as to it efficacy; however, it has
been noted that in low doses it does not seem have a detrimental
effect.

Even the finest public health and medical services are of
limited value to people who have poor health habits. Numerous
studies have proven that physical health and longevity are
linked to the following: eating a balanced diet, maintaining
proper weight, exercising regularly, using condoms and limiting
the number of sexual partners, avoiding tobacco, and avoiding
alcohol or consuming it in moderation. People who fail to follow
these guidelines increase their risk of cardiovascular disease,
cancer, AIDS, hepatitis, and other lethal diseases.

The benefits of vitamin E should be discussed with your personal
doctor. There have been so many conflicting research results
published lately that it makes it very difficult to determine
the best course of action for each particular individual.
Another report indicated that the effect of low-dose supplements
lowered the risk of death by less than 1%, while high dosages
contributed to death. As with all supplements (unless otherwise
indicated by your physician), moderation is always preferable.

In an article in the July 6 JAMA, I-Min Lee, M.B.B.S., Sc.D., of
Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston,
and colleagues analyzed data from the vitamin E component of the
Women’s Health Study, which tested whether vitamin E
supplementation decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease and
cancer among healthy women. The researchers found with the
vitamin E group, there was no significant effect on major
cardiovascular events, on the incidences of heart attack or
stroke, as well as ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. For
cardiovascular death, there was a 24 percent reduction. There
was no significant effect on the incidences of total cancer or
breast, lung, or colon cancers. Cancer deaths also did not
differ significantly between groups. There was no significant
effect of vitamin E on total death although some research shows
that large doses do indeed have a detrimental effect.

Online merchants that specialize in vitamin supplements can
assist you in determining your needs. However, when considering
the facts about vitamin E (as with all other supplements), it is
wise to first discuss the matter with your own doctor. Once it
has been determined that you should take a particular vitamin or
many vitamin supplements, you should consider all the online
sources for nutritional supplements. The prices are much more
competitive than at typical retail stores and they offer the
same guarantees.

Virtually everything ever written about freelance writing and getting published says that you need to write query letters. Yet in the Internet Age, the truth of the matter is that query letters are almost always a huge waste of time.

Certainly some people do get work by writing query letters. But the query process soon turns into a numbers game, almost like a direct mail campaign. You have to send out so many queries to get meaningful responses that you won’t have much time left to do any actual work. A good query letter must be carefully crafted and painstakingly personalized. To compose one that doesn’t sound cutesy or contrived is difficult and time-consuming.

The reality is that you must think of editors as your potential customers. They control the budget and whether or not to buy from you. It is NEVER a good idea to harass or inconvenience a customer. For many busy editors, query letters are annoying. Often they are just another form of junk mail.

Now you’re probably thinking, “If editors don’t read query letters, how does anyone ever get published?” What the writing books don’t tell you is that article topics are often defined far in advance. At many magazines, editors figure out a monthly or yearly plan. Barring some earth-shattering catastrophe, the editors stick to that plan. The standard query letter is usually a waste of time because with the calendar of topics decided well in advance, off-topic queries are ignored. In other words, your carefully crafted query letter gets round-filed, not because it’s bad, but because it had no hope of being used.

The fact that query letters are often thrown away doesn’t mean editors don’t use freelance writers; they do. But the reality is that editors tend to rely on a stable of writers who have proven themselves experts on the magazine’s chosen topics. So if you want to be published, your task is to discover those topics and become one of those experts.

From an editor’s point of view, few decent writers actually exist out there in the big world. Editors have simple needs: they want articles that are original, easy to read, accurate, and on time.

Flakey writers that don’t meet deadlines are the bane of every editor and publisher in the industry. If you meet your deadlines, every time with no excuses, you will stand out from the pack. If you consistently send articles that are:

* precisely focused on a topic the magazine wants to run;
* written in the magazine’s chosen style and tone;
* 100% accurate and error free;
* formatted the way the magazine wants them;
* and arrive BEFORE the deadline

an editor will notice you!

Okay, so what if you’ve never written for that magazine before? Instead of querying, do some research on the magazine. After you have read the magazine and any available writer’s guidelines, write a polite letter to the editor to ask for an editorial calendar and explain your expertise.

This method is far preferable to any query letter, no matter how clever or well-written. Why? With some concise information about you, often an editor can tell whether or not your writing will be a good fit for my publication.

For example, if you say that you have written articles for managers about “enterprise computing” and the editor works for a “how to use Microsoft Word step by step” magazine, it’s likely that you won’t be the right writer for that magazine.

However, if you explain that you spent two years teaching “introduction to word processing” classes at your local YMCA, and that you wrote handouts for your students about how to get started using Microsoft Word, that same editor might just encourage you to submit a few articles! At the very least, the editor might send you the editorial calendar.

Don’t forget the basics! Simple little things often make you stand out from the crowd and help your chances of getting published. For example, when writing an e-mail or letter to an editor, always remember that you are writing to someone who spends a lot of time with words and probably has a degree in English or Journalism. Double-check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Format properly. If you don’t compose your e-mail competently and professionally, editors won’t believe that you can write a good article.

And finally, be truthful. Don’t inflate your credentials. Don’t fib about how much you know about a topic. Don’t gush, and don’t sell. Just state your credentials concisely, clearly, and correctly. Editors don’t need to be sold and they have no tolerance for hype. They’re just too busy to put up with it.
