From the January 2010 Issue
Hydrate as you lather
Washing often with antibacterial sanitizers that contain alcohol can dry out hands. In fact, even with soap, they can lose about 25 percent of their natural moisture with every rinse, finds research from Dove in Trumbull, Connecticut. To renew the suppleness of skin, use a milky, sulfate-free soap instead. Lock in moisture with a petrolatum-rich lotion.
Make cuticles softer
Heal ragged hangnails by massaging them with an oil-based cream (we like Ahava Cuticle Cream, $14) morning and evening to repair damage from dehydrating polish changes, filing and buffing. To neaten cuticles, gently push them back with an orangewood stick once a week. Trim any stubborn remainders with a small nail clipper.
Bolster nail strength
Avoid polishes that have toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate, which weaken nails. And take a vacay from lacquer one week a month. “The no-chip formulas they use in salons look great but suffocate nails,” says David J. Goldberg, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. “By giving yourself a break from polish, you’ll restore moisture, keeping nails healthy.”
Even out skin tone
“Years of sun exposure can lead to brown spots on hands,” says Neal Schultz, M.D., a dermatologist in NYC. To head them off, put on sunscreen with an SPF of 30 daily. Already see damage? Every other day, apply a product with exfoliating glycolic acid (try DDF 10% Exfoliating Oil Control Gel, $48) for smooth, flawless hands in no time!

Get pampered and plucked at Ten20, a nail and waxing spa
Located on the East End of downtown Boulder’s Pearl Street, Ten20 spa is a glamour girl’s getaway. This nail and waxing salon bills itself as the “everywoman” spa and lives up to its name. A balanced blend of upscale and accessible, this spa is perfect for a quick bit of pampering or a full blown girls’ day out.
From the moment you enter the spa, Ten20 is the ultimate in a girly girl experience. The welcoming and comfortable atmosphere encourages spa-goers to bring a girlfriend (or take time for yourself!) and spend the day in the comfy armchairs getting a pedicure and watching a favorite TV show. While getting nails done or unwanted hair removed, shows such as “Sex and the City,” “Ellen,” and “Grey’s Anatomy” play on the big screen in the main spa area or on smaller TVs in the private waxing rooms. Diet Coke and M&Ms complete the pampering treatment. And as a mid-week treat, Ten20 plays popular girly movies on Chick Flick Wednesdays, great for a girls’ night out!
Ten20 focuses its services on nails and waxing, offering the gamut of just the basics to the full spa experience. A great budget-friendly alternative, try the mini versions of the ”tens,” Ten20’s manicures and pedicures - $25 for mani, $33 for a pedi, or both for $55. These express services have the same professional result as the regular service, with just a little less pampering. There are also a variety of waxing services available, for those new to waxing and those with more experience in going hairless. Ten20’s professional staff performs these services adeptly, making a potentially painful experience quick and easy.
Ten20 is also a great place to find a unique gift or special treat, offering a bit of the big city in Boulder. The ever-changing boutique is stocked with a variety of beauty and skincare products, jewelry, clothing and just plain cute stuff.

Real Simple- how to: groom your brows in 3 easy steps
How To: Groom Your Brows
The key to getting a good shape? Being precise and light-handed, says Sania Vucetaj, owner of Sania’s Brow Bar, in New York City. She prefers the gentle precision of tweezing over the excavation that is waxing. Here, her foolproof method.
What You Need
Makeup brush, tweezers, brow pencil, scissors
Follow These Three Easy Steps
1. Shape the inner edges.
To determine where your brow should begin, hold a makeup brush vertically against the bridge of your nose, says Vucetaj. Pluck any hairs that fall outside this line and close to your nose. “Grip tweezers near their points for the best control and yank hairs swiftly in the direction of growth,” she advises. This prevents them from breaking, which leads to ingrown hairs. Work cautiously: “Women often overtweeze between brows. But full inner edges keep brows balanced and natural looking.”
2. Create an arch.
“The highest point of your arch should line up with the outside edge of your iris,” says Vucetaj. Put a dot of brow pencil slightly above your brow at this point. Next, color over your brows with the pencil to create your ideal shape, starting near the nose, working up to the dot, and moving down toward the temple. The shape should look like a sloped arc. Tweeze any hairs below the penciled-in area of the brow. Pluck above the brow only if you see an obvious hair; taking off too much from the top “flattens brows and makes you look tired.”
3. Even out and refine.
Step back from the mirror: Are your brows even? Is one a little fuller than the other? Fix discrepancies by plucking a single hair, then stepping back again to see the full picture. Often, removing one hair makes a visible difference. Next, tend to any extra-long pieces. “Brush brows upward, toward your forehead,” Vucetaj says, “and snip off the tips of hairs that extend beyond your shape.” Finally, examine where your brows end (near your temples). Imagine another diagonal line that extends from your nostril past the outer corner of your eye. Where your brow intersects this line is where it should end. Tweeze away any hairs outside this area. “You usually don’t need to remove much,” notes Vucetaj.

7 Makeup Trends to Leave Behind in 2009
Put down the matte polish, step away from the dark brow powder, and wipe off that black lipstick. These once-popular looks now top our most-unwanted list.

Neon Nails
Fluorescent lights don’t flatter our complexion—and neon shades on our nails don’t help, either. For 2010, it’s a softer, gentler nail color we crave. The spring colors from Yves Saint Laurent, Maybelline New York, and Essie (to name a few) include gorgeous pastel pink, blue, and lilac polishes. But beware: Matching pastel shades on hands and feet can be “a little nauseating,” says Ji Baek, owner of the Rescue Beauty Lounge nail salons in New York City. The experts recommend keeping nails short, and wearing a light shade on the hands and a richer version on toes. Until the new spring colors hit shelves in February, try the periwinkle Revlon Nail Enamel in Not So Blue-Berry, the pale purple OPI Nail Lacquer in Do You Lilac It?, and the aptly named Rescue Beauty Lounge polish in Pepto Pink.

K2’s Pink Chase Raises Over $30K for Breast Cancer Research. Yeah Baby.
K2’s Pink Chase Raises Over $30K for Breast Cancer Research
Keystone Resort Hosts Women’s Snow Lovers Fundraiser
KEYSTONE, Colo. – With over $30,000 raised for breast cancer research and the BCRF, K2 last week wrapped up its second annual PINK CHASE fundraiser at Keystone Resort in Colorado. The field of 57 women skiers, snowboarders and tele skiers, composing 19 teams clad in a variety of creative pink costumes logged more than 687,260 vertical feet of skiing to raise funds for the cause.
Despite frigid temperatures, the women arrived in the early morning hours, energetic, and dressed from head to toe in an array of pink costumes—full piece bunny suits to Lady Gaga impersonators (team name: Gaga for Gnar of course), snow angels, and pink capes ready for a day of riding. Après started promptly at 3 p.m. at Parrot Eyes, followed by the awards ceremony mc’ed by K2’s very own Michael Powell. Mass quantities of giveaways were raffled to participants from the event sponsors, including Keystone Resort, Smith Optics, Orage, Colorado-based women’s outdoor retailer Outdoor DIVAS, Boulder’s local salon Ten20, and Bud Light. The PINK CHASE giveaway hats were the hit amongst the teams and Keystone apres’ers alike, and the party didn’t stop till Boulder local, DJ Shares, turned off his turntables.
While the photos captured many entertaining parts of the day, the true inspiration came from the stories shared by all. Barbara Kish of Boulder, Colo., the recipient of the event’s Superstar award (kicking cancers behind) spoke on behalf of breast cancer survivors. As a survivor herself in remission for six years, she left few dry eyes in the house, emphasizing the importance of fundraisers such as the PINK CHASE and raising money to find a cure. All participants left the evening tired yet inspired, and already discussing strategies for next year’s PINK CHASE.
PINK CHASE is an annual event open to women skiers, snowboarders and tele skiers to raise funds for breast cancer research based on the total vertical feet they ride during a single day in December. To register for next year’s event, visit www.k2skis.com/pinkchase

On December 12th, 2009 at Keystone Resort, CO, teams of 3 women will compete against each other by trying to ski the most vertical feet. On event day, each team will receive a mountain package that includes: a pink chase beanie, vertical data of each run, bonus tents around the mountain that earn teams’ additional vertical bonus, and credentials to record their vertical acquired. Teams must determine the best approach with the access of several lifts, multiple trails, and the assortment of bonus tents around the mountain. Teams are encouraged to dress up, or accessorize in pink. Off the mountain, teams are encouraged to fundraise for the cause up till a day before the event. To register, click on the register here button and get involved today!

World AIDS Day and First Friday Events
Call Dan at BCAP with any questions! 303.444.6121
Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is about increasing awareness, fighting prejudice, improving education and raising money. The World AIDS Day theme for 2009 is ‘Universal Access and Human Rights’. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.
We will start the day with an all-day presence on Pearl Street Mall (from 8am – 5pm), in front of the Courthouse, to let passers by know about World AIDS Day and the reality that AIDS is not over. We also want our community to remember! We also want people to know that AIDS is not over.
From 11am – 6pm, our friends at Art & Soul (1615 Pearl Street in Boulder) will be hosting our “Day without Art” and our AIDS Memorial in honor of those we have lost.
Free HIV Testing will be offered at Boulder County AIDS Project from 11am to 2pm. Know your status. Talk with your partner. Choose wisely.
At 12noon, local places of faith will ring their bells for ten minutes in honor of World AIDS Day.
This year BCAP welcomes the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus as we reflect and remember for our annual World AIDS Day Concert! Our long-time supporters at First United Methodist Church are hosting us for the concert.
Several local restaurants will donate a portion of their dinner sales this evening so that people going to the concert can drop in for a bite to eat before the concert and also support BCAP. The Cup, The Mountain Sun, Aji, and Leaf Vegetarian Restaurant will all donate 10% of their sales. The Cup is a coffee house and will be donating 10% of their sales for the whole day. All of these restaurants are within a couple of blocks of the First United Methodist Church.
Please join us!
We are gathering photos of loved ones who lost their battle with HIV/AIDS for our display of the AIDS Memorial at Art & Soul. Contact Dan if you would like to lend us a photo or two.
Tickets for the concert are $15.00.
Tickets can be purchased by calling 303.444.6121 or online.
We need the community’s support to engage, educate, and remember!
colorado daily : ten20 gives the scoop on healing distressed nails
Healing distressed nails: Local experts give tips for healthy nails
Posted: 11/23/2009 07:20:58 PM MST
Care for your nails, and they will care for you. Word. ( photographer Valua Vitaly )
Splitting, brittle and weak fingernails are a common — but repairable — plague.
“I have this split down my pointer finger nail and I can’t get rid of it,” said Rachel Durmingham, of Boulder. “I just paint over it because it constantly glares at me.”
Dry weather, dehydration, cheap nail polish and hand washing all play a role in unhealthy nails.
The No. 1 tip from Kristin Domenico, a cosmetologist at Ten 20 on Pearl Street, is for the body to remain hydrated.
“Drinking a lot of water always helps,” Domenico said. “Then, keep a good natural nail strengthener around. It’s always good to keep two or three layers on your nails at all times.”
Domenico recommended OPI nail strengthener or Sally Hansen as a good budget buy. Nail strengtheners can help fortify soft or weak nails that are prone to cracking, splitting or breaking.
Sharon McTighe, an esthetician and nail technician at Marianna’s L’Esthetique Medi Spa in Boulder, recommended applying cuticle oil to help nourish the nails.
“The nail originates down at the base, called the matrix,” McTighe said. “If you keep that well-lubricated, as the nail grows out, it helps it to be healthy.”
McTighe also said lathering with hand cream after every handwashing can help.
Both experts advised wearing rubber gloves when submerging hands in water for more than a minute or two.
Although nail polish can dry out the nails, the experts said the formaldehyde and toluene-free polishes provide a healthier option.
Formaldehyde and toluene are known as quick-drying agents in the polish, but Domenico and McTighe said the nails are better off without the toxins.
Both experts recommend a monthly manicure as beneficial to nail health.
“Manicures not only clip away the dead skin and push back the cuticles,” Domenico said. “But if we do see a split down deep in the nail bed, we can try to buff it and repair it.”
Monthly manicures can even help with keeping an eye on pre-cancerous moles that lie underneath the nail, Domenico said.
“You can develop little tiny moles — even sometimes the size of the tip of the pin,” Domenico said. “Once we see you regularly, we can monitor it and let you know if you need to go to the dermatologist.”
McTighe said it is important to keep an eye on the toenails, too, especially in the winter.
She said feet remaining inside a hot pair of boots all winter could turn into fungus that is often hard to see.
“I know a lot of people skip pedicures in the winter, but it’s important to continue the habit for the health of the toes,” McTighe said.
Nail care tips
– Take a daily multivitamin
– Most nail polishes expire after about a year
– When painting the nails with a darker coat, use a base color first to keep the nails from yellowing
– Use a non-acetone nail polish remover, as acetone is stronger and drying
– If the nails are yellow from polish, submerge them in a denture cream (like Efferdent) for a minute to remove the discoloration
