For many people, the cold clear days of winter bring more than just a rosy glow to the cheeks. They also bring uncomfortable dryness to the skin of the face, hands, and feet. Cold weather and low humidity levels result in dry air, which then steals moisture away from the skin every second of every day."As soon as you turn the heat on indoors, the skin starts to dry out," Bonnie LaPlante, an esthetician with the Canyon Ranch resort in Lenox, Mass., tells WebMD.

After watching the C4 program last night I wonder how many women have changed their mind and their desire to have surgery and in particular the tummy tuck.

Those poor women who like all of us wanted improvement were left with shark bite and emotional scars. Hats off to C4 and Christian J....
