BEAUTY BLOGGING
The Beauty Brains (Real Scientists Answer Your Beauty Questions) focuses on Is Pantene putting plastic in your hair?
The idea that it coats your hair with plastic is a myth started by stylists to keep you from buying salon products. (BTW, Pantene contains silicone, not plastic.).”
OH, OH, DOLLY
Dolly Parton - Plastic Surgery on American Idol is a focus for plastic surgeon Dr. Tony Youn
She has nary a wrinkle on her face, but somehow looks much better than Joan Rivers, who appears to have had a similar amount of work done. This may be because her plastic surgeons have focused on addition of volume to her face in addition to tightening of the skin. I thought she looked radiant. She’s such a musical legend, a sweet, cute woman. I wouldn’t want my mom to look like her, but it sure works for Dolly!
WRINKLE-FREE ANIMALS
Botox and animal testing is the topic for Plasticized.com.

Recently, Allergan came out with a statement about FDA approval for a revised assay to reduce the overall number of tested animals. Although Botox is used most commonly for cosmetic reasons, it is a manufactured drug also used for medical conditions, and animal testing is not uncommon in these cases.
