A Spot-Less Idea?

ClearlyCorrectiveDarkSpotSolution%5B1%5D.JPG


How do you get rid of dark spots or those discolorations that suddenly show up on your skin? And what about uneven skin tone? Keihl's may have found a solution.

Kiehl's, the premium line of skin-care products, has developed a new product called "Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution," a clear fast-acting serum that features a brand-new Vitamin C derivative,which is said to penetrate deep into the skin to diminish dark spots, prevent new ones from forming, and result in an "overall radiance and youthful clarity. "

Vit C is the new keyword in skin-care and unlike some others that we've tried, Khiel's doesn't have to be mixed before use, but is immediately active when applied to the skin.

We love an new invention.

New software identifies Photoshopped images

photoshop-icon.jpg

A new kind of software program has been created, which allows you to detect images that have been tampered with using Photoshop.

The new program, created at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, uses eight different parameters to detect changes, like to face shape, body parts and different textures of skin.

Yes this new piece of software is very cool, but it also has huge implications when it comes to representations of celebrities and public figures in the media. For a long time many different groups have been asking for more transparency from our newspapers and magazines about which images have been edited and which haven't. Let's hope the media is forced to reveal the Photoshopped images (now that anyone could with this software) as it could help to give people of all ages a more healthy view of their own bodies.

Student turns tablet into Braille writer

Student Adam Duran has turned a regular tablet computer into a Braille writer over his summer vacation.

Duran attended a course held at Stanford University dedicated to providing students with an in-depth understanding of computing. It was during this time that Duran and two of his mentors developed an app which allows blind or partially sighted individuals to write in Braille. Watch the video above for more information about the incredibly innovative and possibly even life-changing application.

Eye Slack Haruka gadget massages away under eye circles

eye-haruka.jpg

We've come across quite a few different beauty gadgets over the past few months, but this has to be the weirdest looking!

The Eye Slack Haruka is only worn for about three minutes each day and it promises to massage away dark under eye circles by applying a little pressure and a little heat. It MIGHT work, but it'll definitely make you look like a pink bug in the process!

The Eye Slack Haruka is available from Japan Trend Shop for $132.

My Lane brings urban mobile spas to the park

my-lane-pod.jpg

Going for a run or a quick work out during lunch is often the only way some people can squeeze in the time to exercise. That's why we love this very clever (but presumably VERY expensive) idea from My Lane, which gives you your own space to change, shower and get yourself ready for work again. Ideal for those who like to exercise during the day but either don't have a shower at work or feel weird about getting naked when your colleagues are metres away!

Coffee and soup warmers for winter

winter-image.jpg

This is a lovely time of year, it's always really bright and the leaves are falling off the trees, but unfortunately it's also getting much cooler (well, here in the UK anyway).

So, we've been looking out for some soup and coffee warmers to see you through winter and keep your insides and outsides nice and toasty. Here are some of our favourites, from the cheap and practical solution through to the innovative concept design.

Can you REALLY be allergic to WiFi?

wifi-image.jpg

Yahoo today reported that an increasing number of people are claiming to have Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (or EHS), which means that they are experiencing headaches, muscle spasms, burning skin and chronic pain due to over-exposure to mobile phones and wireless internet.

Now we've all heard of "cell phone radiation", but is it really a threat to our health?

Various spokespeople and organizations have claimed that these symptoms are real, but apparently The World Health Organization set the record straight:

"EHS has no clear diagnostic criteria and there is no scientific basis to link EHS symptoms to EMF (electromagnetic field) exposure. Further, EHS is not a medical diagnosis, nor is it clear that it represents a single medical problem."

Phew.
