Garden Club Organizational Meeting
There will be an organizational meeting of all neighbors who would like to be a part of a neighborhood
garden/landscape club. The meeting will be held at the home of Pat Shafer, 7992 Park Meadows Dr.
on Monday 4/13 at 7pm. The purpose is to see how many residents are interested in participating.
Discussion will focus on what has worked successfully for different homeowners in their yards, to take
a look at homeowner’s yards, and to see if we can have meetings with representatives from Frazee’s
Garden and Landscape Company. Hopefully they will share with us tips on things we can do and plants
that would work well in our soil, etc. We look forward to meeting all our “green-thumb” neighbors, and
those who are wanting more direction with their own landscape.

Gardening With Children: Green Thumbs
Grow Inside, Too!
By Lee Ann Balta, Director of Small Blessings, Inc.
In contemporary life many children live in apartment buildings
or townhouses and don’t have backyard access to a garden
plot. But that doesn’t mean they can’t reap the benefits of
gardening, too! Parents can just move the action indoors
—the process is the same, just on a smaller scale.
For indoor gardens you’ll need containers. Any container
will do. Sure, clay pots are great, but kids can be playful by
thinking of creative containers, such as old rubber boots,
plastic-lined hats, coffee cups, buckets or play dump trucks.
Anything that can hold soil can be a flowerpot. Just teach kids
to layer pebbles at the bottom under the soil so water drains
away from plant roots. When possible, put a drainage hole
in container bottoms so excess water can escape; otherwise
plants drown! Find a sunny spot indoors and water when the
soil is dry. That’s it!
Brent Cardin
O
ur world is filled with meaningful things, experiences
and relationships that touch and guide us, that
allow our hearts to stand up to and defeat the
world’s arrangements of power. There are unique
individuals who help show us how we fit the world, who
help others admit meaning into their lives, who lead and
guide not through necessity but through desire. Brent
Cardin is such an individual.
Brent, who is originally from northern Indiana and
has worked in Zionsville and Boone County for many
years, is a passionate and intuitive man who puts those
energies to work as the executive director of Arc Rehab
Services (ARS). ARS is a nonprofit social service agency
based in Lebanon whose mission is to assist people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities, and others in
need, to achieve their maximum potential in partnership
with the community. Brent lives this mission every day
through his understanding that the intelligence of a
place is directly influenced by the diversity it supports,
by championing those he serves and the community
he loves.
As executive director, Brent oversees four distinct service divisions
within ARS. The first, Personal and Community Services (PCS),
provides specialized training to help adults living with disabilities
achieve greater independence in their daily lives. The second
service division is Mainstreet Enterprises, a work center where
people with developmental disabilities receive training and
work opportunities by performing work tasks that have been
subcontracted from local companies. Job Connection is a service
that assists individuals with disabilities who desire a job in the
community. ARS also administers WIC (Women, Infants, and
Children) in Boone County. WIC provides supplemental food,
health care referrals and nutrition education for low-income
pregnant, breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding mothers as well
as to infants and children up to age 5 who are found to be at
nutritional risk.
Brent is quick to laud his fellow staff and community members
for the success of ARS, but the organization is fueled by his own
passion for it to succeed. For 17 years he has led the organization
to the forefront of community care. He genuinely respects and
enjoys the people he works with. His compassion for others is
contagious and can be felt throughout Boone County through
his involvement with the Zionsville High School Transition Fair,
Zionsville Street Dance and Taste of Zionsville, the Boone
County Transportation Advisory Committee and through his
current position as a board member of the Zionsville Chamber of
Commerce. By adjusting to the needs of each individual served,
Brent Cardin is filling a need in the community and leading and
redefining an underserved central Indiana population in a lasting
and meaningful way.

Quick and easy spring cleaning tips
nnual spring cleaning doesn’t have to
A
be a yearly, back-breaking cleaning
marathon. Regular maintenance is easy with
Have fun – Turn everyday cleaning chores into
fun, family-friendly activities. Chase your kids
around the room while vacuuming. Blast your
family’s favorite playlist and invite the kids to
dance around the house with you while dusting.
Or, when washing dishes, use the soapy water
to blow some bubbles with the kids. With a little
creativity, seemingly boring household chores
become fun games faster than your family can
say “Mary Poppins.”
a few simple steps and will keep the dirt from
piling up so you can skip the once-a-year
event that everyone dreads. Here are some
quick and easy spring cleaning tips for the
whole family to follow.
Get a game plan – Divide your home into four
zones—eating areas, living areas, sleeping
areas and bathrooms. Each week, focus on
cleaning just one of the four zones. Spreading
out the chores will mean a lighter effort
throughout the year instead of a buildup of gunk
waiting for a springtime scrub-down. Be sure
to make note of the zones on your calendar so
you don’t get swept up (no pun intended) and
forget all about it.
Get organized – Cut the clutter. Stacks of papers, boxes and
miscellaneous junk can be magnets for dust, dirt and more.
Clutter takes up the majority of your housework, usually about
80 percent, so if you cut out the clutter, you’ll significantly cut
your cleaning time. Find storage containers to organize and
hold your family’s possessions. Even your kids can help out;
attach picture labels to storage bins so the little ones can easily
identify where their belongings should go.
Make your house do the work – Does your
home work for you or against you? If your air
filtration system is truly efficient, there should
be little dust to clean up. This is especially
important in the spring when the world comes
into bloom, which can lead to poor indoor air
quality and aggravate allergies and asthma. A
whole-home air filtration system can eliminate
up to 99.98 percent of allergens, mold spores and other
microscopic things from your home’s filtered air, allowing
you to spend less time cleaning all year long. Reducing dust
accumulation means you can dust less and still have a healthier,
cleaner home environment.
With regular maintenance and some smart steps, you’ll find
plenty of time to get out and enjoy spring, rather than focus on
one massive home cleanup.

Bill Eagleson of Eagleson Landscape Co., Inc.
Where is your business located? I run Eagleson Landscape
from a home office. The work I do is done where my clients
need me most, in their yards and on their properties. I can
be reached at 317-997-4803.
How long have you had your business? This is the fifth
year for this business, but I have been in this field for more
than 25 years. I graduated from Purdue in 1980 with a degree
in landscape management and have been in love with this
work ever since.
How would you describe your business? We are a
service-oriented one-stop shop that meets all of a client’s
landscaping needs. We can provide full design and
installation services related to lighting, paving, water features,
arbors, retaining walls, irrigation, planting–really anything to
make a client’s vision for his yard and property a reality. We
also provide maintenance such as weeding, mulching, plant
care—everything that goes into managing the look and feel
of a property.
What makes your business unique? My level of
personalized service makes Eagleson Landscape very
unique. I build relationships with every client and take the
time to sincerely listen to every client’s needs. My business
is landscaping, it’s building better outdoor spaces, but really
what I am doing is building meaningful relationships with
people.
What are you most
proud of in relationship
to your business? I
have clients who have
stayed with me through
all of my different capacities in the landscaping business. I
am very proud of the relationships I have established.
How is your business growing? This is the first year where
we are actively advertising. Most of our clients are referred
through other clients.
What is your favorite part about being an entrepreneur?
Running my own business means that decisions about the
business begin and end with me. I work a lot of hours, but I
do have some say as to what hours I work. This allows me
to spend some meaningful time with my family. Every job,
however, means having a different boss, as the needs of
every client come first for me. Running my business allows
me to make sure that the client always comes first.
Where do you see your business in five years? Down
the road I would like to have two or three key people who
can go out and work with clients in much the same capacity
that I do now. I will always have input into every project as I
like to be hands-on, but it would be nice to have a couple of
trusted people who could go out and be my eyes and ears
on a project.

Ace Party Rental – Kelly Adams – With warmer weather
drawing near, homeowners are gearing up to entertain
outdoors. Tents provide the perfect atmosphere to gather
outdoors for graduation parties, birthday parties and
anniversary celebrations. Let a tent set the scene for your
next spring event!
To The Last Drop, Inc. – Claudia Pierson – With the
first signs of spring come the abundance of the season:
morel mushrooms, fresh herbs and the hope of red juicy
tomatoes and sweet summer corn to come. Spring is also a
great opportunity to donate those food and home items that
you will not be using to a local food pantry—a wonderful
beginning for others. Fill your pantry and refrigerator
with fresh foods and basics as well as favorites and start
cooking!
Strong Styles Hair Salon – Brenda Strong – Add a
splash of color this spring. Ask your salon professional
to add a burst of blonde through the top of your hair and
around your face to complement your existing color. It will
make you feel like you just got back from the beach.
Akard True Value Hardware – Leigh Ann Akard – An
ounce of prevention can go a long way as spring begins.
Now is the time to apply pre-emergent products to your
lawn and flowerbeds to kill weeds before they start. Using
a product that contains a fertilizer will not only stop weeds
and crabgrass but will help build stronger roots in your
lawn.
Corner Vise Gallery & Frame Shop – Barbara Jennings
Spring’s re-awakening makes it my favorite season of the
year. It’s so exciting to see the flowers begin to bloom and
be able to open the windows to let in the fresh spring air.
We usually open the gallery’s doors and welcome visitors
in to show them how they can freshen up their homes with
beautiful, maintenance-free gardens in the form of artists’
renditions.
Sura Spa – Dr. Randy Shoup and Dr. Carol Walters
Spring is the perfect time to get a fresh start on a wonderful
summer of looking amazing and being healthy. Procedures
such as cosmetic dentistry, laser hair removal and Hydra
facials—plus Botox and dermal fillers (provided by a
doctor)—are all wonderful ways to help you look and
feel your very best. Try IPL (Intense Pulse Light), a skin
resurfacing laser treatment, to make 50-year-old skin
look 25!
A Better View Window Cleaning – Brian Paxson
Cleaning your home inside and out, from top to bottom,
is a tradition in the spring. Having someone else do your
“spring cleaning” for you frees up your schedule so you can
enjoy more time outdoors when the weather warms up.
Eagleson Landscape Co., Inc. – Bill Eagleson – Spring
is almost here! As the owner of a landscape company,
spring is one of the most exciting times of the year for me.
More so than most, I want out! Whether you are gazing
out upon a less-than-exciting garden situation or planning
your summer “staycation,” a landscaping service is your
answer. Let’s see those flowers!
Lion’s Club – It’s spring—go outside! One of the best
ways to enjoy the warmer weather is to take a trip to the
park. You can watch—or join—a baseball game while
the kids play on the swings. Or take a hike and soak in
some nature after a day indoors. Remember that your
local park provides hours of free, healthy fun for the
whole family.

Makeover of the Month
By Kevin Spees, DDS
This month, I’m featuring a smile makeover
that I did more than 10 years ago. This is
Sheila. Dark stains and mottled enamel made
Sheila’s smile dull and grey. These conditions
both occur during tooth formation, so when the
teeth come in during childhood, they already
look discolored. Many of the causes of this
type of discoloration, such as tetracycline
drugs and uncontrolled high fever, are more
closely monitored now, so it’s much less common and is
seldom seem in people born after about 1980.
These grey stains are difficult to mask and seldom respond
to bleaching because they are completely throughout the
tooth and tend to become darker as you move deeper into
the tooth. Porcelain laminates are really the only option to
achieve a whiter smile and still have natural-looking teeth.
One word of caution: If you have grey stains, seek out a
dentist with experience treating your condition. This is the
most difficult stain to correct.

The Start of a Colorful Year
By Mike Cline – Rail Trail Gardens
As spring is the beginning of the season of color, plants are
awaking with new growth. Now is the time to prepare your
landscape for the year ahead.
Make a checklist of gardening needs, projects and outdoor
activities that you will try to complete this spring. Here is a quick
list of items that you might want to include on your list:
GREAT SELECTION OF
SPRING COLOR ... INDOOR & OUT!
New At Rail Trail Gardens – “Kid’s Korner”
We have dedicated an area for kids to learn about growing plants,
along with toys, games and coloring books to use when they visit
the store. This spring we will have pots and seeds available for

• Cut back perennials as needed (this includes grass) early
to ensure that the new growth will not be damaged.
• Fertilize perennials now. This will provide each plant with
the nutrients to give you the best look for the season.
• Apply a pre-emergent to your planting beds to prevent weed
growth. Check the label for plant information to ensure it is
compatible with the plantings in your landscape.
• Edge beds and apply hardwood mulch to your planting
areas. This will also help prevent weed growth, conserve
moisture, enhance the appearance of the plantings and will
later become organic material and add nutrients to the soil.
• Prepare your containers for planting for the season.
Pansies are a great way to get an early splash of color.

tough decisions. Combined with the constant bombardment
of economic and political information and too many people
telling you what you should or shouldn’t be doing with your
money, it’s enough to cause investors to make unwise or
rash decisions.
In this era of continuous and conflicting noise, the most
important challenge an investor faces is to construct a
portfolio that achieves his or her specific and attainable
goals while offering the highest level of return with the most
reasonable level of risk. This is more important than asking
whether the market will rise or fall or how it will be moved
by the new occupant in the White House. In fact, too many
investors care too much about whether the market is trading
up or down in a given day without relating that information
back to their financial goals.
Investors should answer questions about their risk tolerance,
spending needs and sources and levels of income. The
answers to these questions will help decide between dialing
up the portfolio’s risk level to meet an expected shortfall or
dialing it down because income sources are sufficient to keep
up with spending and inflation.
We know that U.S. and global recessions are a common but
integral part of the economic cycle, followed by expansions
that are generally long-lived. This information is rarely given,
yet it would arm investors with the understanding that there
is light at the end of the tunnel.
So as we start 2009, take stock in your finances and financial
goals and adjust them as needed. By moving away from what
the “market” is doing on any particular day and focusing more
on goals-based investing, investors stand a better chance
of achieving their desired results without necessarily taking
on more risk.

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra
The ISO is one of the few full-time symphony orchestras in the
country and is the largest performing arts organization in the
state of Indiana. Associate Director of Communications Tim
Northcutt notes that guests can expect great music played
by superb, world-class musicians at every performance. ISO
musicians come from all over the world and are each at the
top of their field. According to Tim, the ISO is also involved
with extensive education programs throughout the state
and prides itself on its community outreach programs, such
as Artist Encounters, Symphony on the Move, Words on
Music and the incomparable Metropolitan Youth Orchestra,
dedicated to enriching and transforming the lives of young
people in positive ways through music.
Centennial residents enjoy a night out at the
Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s Valentine performance.
A
rt enriches, it inspires and it is an integral part of
what makes a healthy community. Central Indiana is
fortunate to be home to one of the country’s most prestigious
arts organizations, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra
(ISO). The ISO, founded in 1930, performs more than 200
concerts every year, including their pops and classical
concerts, held at the Hilbert Circle Theatre, and their popular
Symphony on the Prairie series, held each summer at Conner
Prairie in Fishers.
Recently, Capture Media invited Centennial residents Jim
and Mary Ake and Tom and Lynn Ancich, along with their
friends John and Cheryl Striewe, to an ISO performance
as part of our “Out on the Town” series. The couples were
treated to a performance by well-known singer/pianist
Michael Feinstein, who performed songs from his most
recent Grammy-nominated album, “The Sinatra Project.” The
couples gave the performance a standing ovation, stating that
the ISO was wonderful, as always, and that Mr. Feinstein was
a pleasant surprise, “flawless in both his phrasing and his
song interpretation.” They also noted that the performance
was just part of their remarkable Valentine’s evening. When
stepping into the lobby, they were greeted by courteous staff
members and enjoyed food and beverage stations serving
strawberries with a chocolate dipping sauce and wine.
The ISO is open and accessible to everyone, with programs
and performances meeting every taste. Past performances
have included everything from the expected—Bach, Brahms,
Bernstein, Tchaikovsky—to the surprising—guest Peter
Frampton and the music of the Beatles. Upcoming performers
include Art Garfunkel and children’s favorite Dan Zanes.
What every performance includes is the breathtaking skill of
the ISO itself. It is true that music is feeling, not sound, and
the accomplished musicians of the ISO create phenomenal
feeling. Jim Ake mentioned the awe and the power that
derived from the music itself and stated enthusiastically,
“The Indianapolis Symphony is part of Indiana. It is one of
the high points of our entertainment offerings in the city. You
can count on a great evening of entertainment anytime you
go. It doesn’t matter if it is classical or pops, their presentation
always seems original.”
Each guest finished the evening transformed and inspired
and couldn’t wait to return for another performance,
proving again that art, and the ISO in particular,
develops educated and compassionate people
more thoroughly engaged with themselves,
their community and their world.

from past performances, you can find them online at

Spring’s top home decor trends draw
inspiration from nature
It’s time to pay tribute to the joy and jubilance of nature
as the welcoming signs of spring arrive. The familiar
will appear refreshingly new as we take in its splendor.
This spring, the hottest trends in home decor reflect this
breathtaking beauty as Mother Nature awakes from her
slumber.
Here are the top home decor trends for spring 2009:
1. Emulate outdoor serenity.
Creating a peaceful element within your home might be
as simple as adding a flower or greenery arrangement.
It’s amazing what plant life can do to liven a room. A
vase of flowers in the bathroom can make your morning
routine more cheery, or a green centerpiece on the
kitchen table might make dinner a mini-retreat from the
long day at work.
Whether fresh or silk, use leaves and flowers to bring
a touch of classic nature into your home. Bright colors
have pick-me-up appeal, while earthy tones convey
calmness. Match complementary options with the
current color scheme of your home, or combine to
celebrate the harmony of the season.
2. Make practical pretty.
The things you use on a regular basis in your home
are often the things that don’t have a lot of flair. But this
spring, practical items are getting a stylistic boost with
new designs and fresh ideas that make them stand out.
Take a flowerpot for example. You don’t have to spend
a lot of money to get a unique, beautiful pot. Flowerpots
made of fabric are one of the freshest ideas for spring.
Create your own by using durable yet breathable Sun N
Shade outdoor fabrics to create fun yet functional pots.
From bright, eye-catching colors to earthy, subtle tones,
choose fabrics that mimic your favorite theme, whether
you plan to use these planters indoors or out. Plus, at
the end of the season, you can fold for easy storage
and use next year.
3. Refresh what you already have.
With the tight economy, many people have limited
budgets for updating their home decor. Taking note
from springtime renewal, an affordable, smart idea is
to update what you already have in your home. Use
polymer clay to add spring-inspired designs to different
glass items you have around your house. For example,
take a set of wine glasses and use different shades of
green clay to create leaves on the outside of the glass.
Bake the glass with the new clay design for 30 minutes
at 230 degrees F and you’ll have an entirely new glass
set to toast the spring sunset. Consider updating other
items in your home such as old vases, candy dishes
and hand and lotion dispensers. Pretty much anything
made of plain glass is a potential subject.
Is debt defeating you?

A Note From the Coach
By Scott Doerhman, The Finance Coach
Spring is my favorite season. Winter, my least favorite season, has
ended. The air is fresh and warm. Color is starting to return to the
landscape. And baseball season is here. What could possibly spoil
spring? Tax day, April 15, is our annual reminder of the inefficiency
with which our government operates.
Although I hate taxes, file your taxes on time. If you cannot file on
time, file an extension. If you struggle to complete your taxes, either
because of the difficulty or you procrastinate, hire a professional.
There are several excellent CPAs and tax services in the area.

On a brighter note, many of you will receive a refund. What is the
best use of this money?
1. Develop a budget. Your money will disappear quicker without a
budget. 2. Get “current” with your debts. 3. Develop an Emergency
Fund (of at least $1,000). 4. Pay off or pay down some of your
debts. 5.Use some of your refund for enjoyment. But be sensible:
If you have debts, don’t blow the entire amount on a trip to Disney
World. 6.If you typically receive a large refund, and you are using
a budget, look at decreasing your withholdings. This will give you
more money in your regular paycheck
Let this refund be a new beginning for your financial future. If you need
help developing a game plan, give us a call at 317-858-7270.
Follow these tips and in just a few hours you’ll have your lawn and garden

Make a clean sweep
By Tresa Erickson
Ugh.
The thought of getting out that disgusting patio set
and putting it on your freshly stained deck makes
you queasy. The table and chairs are dirty and dingy, and
the cushions are so stained you wouldn’t let your dog sit
on them, let alone someone you know.
That’s it. You’ve had it with your patio furniture. Time to
throw it out and start fresh. Or is it? With the right supplies, you can make that patio set gleam once again.
With the constant abuse from the weather, it’s no wonder
lawn and garden furniture gets so dirty. Fortunately, you
can clean it. Here’s how:
• Aluminum: Add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to a
pail of warm water and sponge off the aluminum. Rinse
and let it air dry. Coat the aluminum with a clear wax
to protect it from the sun. Don’t use green wax. It will
discolor the metal.
• Canvas: Throw removable canvas into the washing
machine. Clean nonremovable canvas with a scrub
brush and some water and strong soap. Rinse off the
canvas and hang it up to air dry.
• Hardwood: Grab a pail of warm, soapy water (mild
dishwashing liquid works best) and scrub down the
hardwood with a coarse cloth. Let it dry completely and
then brush or spray on a coat of teak oil or a similar
finish. After the oil has soaked in, apply a second coat,
allow it to penetrate and then wipe away any excess
oil with a clean, dry cloth. Let the hardwood dry for 24
hours before using it.
• Plastic: As with hardwood, a pail of warm water with
a few squirts of mild dishwashing liquid will do. Wipe
away the dirt with a soft cloth. For stubborn spots, use
steel wool. Rinse off the plastic and let it air dry. To
brighten up white plastic, add a few drops of bleach
to your pail of soapy water.
• Resin: Fill a pail with warm water and a few drops of
mild dishwashing liquid. Wipe off the resin with a soft
cloth, rinse and let it air dry.
• Softwood: Wash the softwood with a coarse cloth and
some water and mild dishwashing liquid. Rinse and
let it air dry. Spray or brush on a coat of preservative
stain.
• Steel: Touch up any rust spots and clean the steel
with warm water and some mild dishwashing liquid.
Rinse and let it air dry. Oil hinges and pivots for
easy movement.
• Vinyl: Grab a pail of warm water, add a few squirts
of mild dishwashing liquid and rub away the dirt and
grime from the vinyl with a soft cloth. Don’t use stiff
brushes or bleach—you will damage the vinyl.
• Weather-Resistant Cushions: Pour a teaspoon of
dishwashing liquid, a teaspoon of borax and a quart of
warm water into a large spray bottle. Stir the mixture
well and spray it onto your cushions. Let the cushions
sit for 15 minutes, rinse well and let them air dry.
• Wicker: Clean the crevices with a toothbrush and
some wood oil soap. Wash the wicker with some
warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse well. Dry
the wicker with a hair dryer.
• Wrought Iron: Remove any peeling paint with steel
wool and touch up the areas with a rust-resistant
primer and paint. After the wrought iron dries, sponge
it off with some warm, soapy water (mild dishwashing
liquid works best), rinse and let it air dry.

Lifting the Face
By Catherine Winslow, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Q: I am not ready for a face-lift but want
the waddle under my chin to go away. Will
liposuction work?
A: Younger patients can see amazing results
with minimal downtime (two days), cost
(around $2,000) and a small incision. Usually
performed under sedation, liposuction is a
great way to contour a usually hereditary
problem of excess fat under the chin.
However, not everyone is a candidate for this simple
procedure. In the aging patient with skin that is sagging,
liposuction alone will help with excess fat but make excess
skin look worse. For these patients, there are some tricks to
optimize the jawline. Fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane
can be injected in front of the jowl in a natural hollow (pre-
jowl sulcus) to even out the jawline. Miminally invasive
surgical options are sometimes helpful.
A chin implant in someone with a small chin can pull on
skin and smooth out the jowl. However, until a Spanx is
invented for the face, a lift is still the best option to deal
with the problem.
Because there is extra skin and fat, a small amount of
liposuction combined with a lift to take care of extra skin
will give the most impressive results overall, and “last”
around 10 years.
A mini-lift is perfect for someone not quite ready for a full
face and neck lift, and improves the cheek, jawline and
neck. Risks and downtime are minimized as well.

Skin care secrets to spring into the new season
and increase your skin’s production of natural oils.
Switch to a lighter moisturizer, one that is not oil-based,
and that includes a higher SPF protection for the happy
hours you’ll be spending outdoors in the sunshine.
• Update your makeup for the season – Just as your
makeup changes palette from season to season, so
should the physical qualities of your makeup. Use
a lighter foundation, perhaps substituting a powder
foundation for liquid. Replace your moisturizing lipstick
or lip balm with a lighter gloss that won’t leave lips
feeling weighted down or oily. Put away those creambased eye shadows for lighter powders that won’t
clump or run in warmer temperatures and humidity.
• Glow smart, not risky – Nothing says spring like
a healthy glow, but traditional tanning achieved
by sunbathing or going to a tanning salon can
significantly increase your risk of skin cancer.
Instead of getting a glow the risky way, opt for
self-tanners. Today’s sprays and creams can help
you achieve an even, natural-looking tan without
exposing your skin to harmful ultraviolet rays.
SKIN CARE should change with the seasons. With winter
drawing to a close and warm weather on the horizon, now is
the time to think about updating your skin care regimen for
spring.
• Put the brakes on breakouts – Warm weather
means more fun in the sun, but it also means more
sweating and more chance for acne breakouts.
Ditch harsh chemical remedies or over-the-counter
options that just don’t work in favor of a more natural
way to control breakouts—heat. A simple hand-held
device, ThermaClear “zaps” pimples and blemishes
quickly and easily, even in their earliest stages of
development. A two-second application of heat can
clear blemishes up to four times faster, sometimes in
as little as 24 hours. Go to www.thermaclearbeauty.
com to learn more.
The transition from winter to spring is probably one of the
most remarkable in nature—and for people, too. Winter
snows melt away to reveal spring buds, and bulky sweaters
find their way back into closets in favor of lighter, freer attire.
Your skin care regimen should also leave winter behind.
Here are some tips for making the transition from winter
to spring skin care:
• Eat for your skin’s health – You probably already
know to avoid oily and fatty foods that can contribute
to skin problems. But don’t forget to eat positively for
your skin’s health as well. Take advantage of warm
weather’s produce bounty to eat plenty of fresh fruits
and vegetables that are good for your skin, such as
leafy greens and antioxidant-rich fruits and berries.
• Exfoliate – No matter how diligent you are with winter
skin care, some buildup of dry, flaky skin is almost
inevitable thanks to heavier clothes and dry air. To
leave skin smooth and healthy—and to prepare for
the warm weather ritual of hair removal—use a good
exfoliant in the shower. Don’t, however, use strong
scrubbing exfoliants on the face, as they can actually
damage skin and cause minute tears and abrasions
on delicate tissues.
• Survey your skin – Just as you visit a general
practitioner or gynecologist to take care of your
internal health, you should have an annual skin
exam by a dermatologist. If you haven’t already
had a complete skin survey, schedule one as the
spring begins and repeat again at the same time
next year. Your doctor will catalog all your natural
beauty marks, moles and variations in skin tone and
compare from year to year to ensure none change.
Changes in natural blemishes can herald a more
serious problem. Early detection has been cited as
one of the most important ways to effectively treat
skin cancer.
• Adjust your moisturizer – Winter’s dry air called
for a stronger moisturizer, but warm weather brings
increased humidity, which in turn can make you sweat
