The Skin-y Facts on the Benefits of Antioxidants in Skin Care Products
Theresa Pacheco, MD, Associate Professor
University of Colorado Hospital, Department of Dermatology
Medical Director, Cosmetic Dermatology
Anti-what? We hear about antioxidants all the time but how many of us really know what they are other than something that is supposed to be good for us. The dictionary tells us:
antioxidant
(æntɪˈɒksɪ dənt biology)
a substance, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, or beta carotene, that counteracts the damaging effects of oxidation in a living organism.
Dr. Theresa Pacheco enlightens us even further on the benefits and what these miracle substances really are. Read about the facts on the benefits of antioxidants and skin care products...

The Sinuses: What Are They and Why Do So Many Have Trouble?
Todd T. Kingdom, MD,
Vijay Ramakrishnan, MD,
Robie Gray, PA-C
That nob in the middle of our face does so much more than hold up glasses or allow us to stop and smell the roses. It is the primary conduit of the oxygen that keeps us alive. It is connected to the sinuses which perform a variety of functions. When we are healthy, we take all of this for granted. However, if you have ever had sinus trouble, you know that there is a lot more going on behind that nose than you ever imagined. Read more from UCH sinus experts about how sinuses work and how they might cause us aggravation and headaches.
