Description:
A group of friends have brought their skills together to transform an old-school Volkswagen Beetle, named Tope, in order to take part in one of the world’s most ruthless races. The Baja 1000 is a Mexican desert race which takes place annually in the Baja California Peninsula. It’s the longest point to point off-road race in the world, that's run in a single day. Josh McGuckin, one of Tope's mechanics, explained how much of a challenge preparing for the race was for the team. He told FutureStudiosCars: “Driving this car in the Baja 1000 can be summed up for me in one word, exhausting.” To an outsider the car would appear as just a “really old bugg” but once inside, “suddenly it just comes to life”. Starting with the VW Beetle was a huge undertaking for the team, as they had to modify the classic 1970 car to be suitable for the incredibly harsh conditions. However, the extreme nature of this race did take its toll on the well-loved vehicle, “every time you come back from a race, you’re constantly rebuilding and replacing everything”, Josh explained. The bugg may not be the fastest car, but it’s capable of doing the job for this team. And the teamwork paid off as Tope triumphantly reached the finish line. Josh spoke about his relief and elation, “every time we race this car, we learn something new.\

_how-to-make-sure-you39re-getting-the-real-deal-with-botox-cosmetic.webp "Over the last two decades, BOTOX Cosmetic has become a household name--making it the number one selling product of its kind, the one approved to temporarily make moderate to severe forehead lines, crow's feet lines and frown lines look better in adults. But people may forget, it is a medical procedure. Many people are interested in learning more about getting treated and there is only one BOTOX Cosmetic, but how do you know you're getting the real BOTOX Cosmetic? This FDA approved one-of-a-kind formulation through its manufacturing process and scientific rigor can temporarily improve the look of three areas--moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet lines, and forehead lines in adults. Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Michelle Henry teamed up with Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company-the makers of BOTOX Cosmetic, and the only authorized suppliers of BOTOX Cosmetic in the US-to show us how to ensure product safety, quality, and efficacy. What happens in many cases is people use the word 'Botox' ubiquitously, not specifically for BOTOX Cosmetic. The FDA has stated BOTOX Cosmetic is 'not interchangeable,' which means that its safety and effectiveness cannot be claimed by any other product. There are no substitutes for BOTOX Cosmetic. Potential flags to look out for: significantly discounted product may indicate it's not the real deal, supplier claims their product is 'equivalent to BOTOX Cosmetic' or 'approved in another country,' and lastly, if it feels too good to be true, it may be. It's extremely important to only go to medical professionals who are licensed and trained to provide aesthetic treatments both for safety and to help you achieve your desired outcomes.

_a-dermatologist-debunks-three-common-sunscreen-myths.webp "Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that is primarily caused by sun exposure, so everyone is at risk. It's so common, that nearly 5 million Americans are treated every year. In fact, more people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the U.S. than all other cancers combined. The good news is it's preventable, that's why Dr. Nkem Ugonabo partnered with Neutrogena to spread the word. For years, Neutrogena has been committed to supporting sun safety and providing sunscreen solutions for all as a preventative measure for skin cancer. In honor of Melanoma Awareness Month this May and Melanoma Awareness Day on May 6, Neutrogena is proud to share it has donated over 1 million dollars to the Melanoma Research Foundation over their 7-year relationship. And what we love about the brand, is that they make it super easy to choose the sunscreen that works best for specific needs, so you actually use it every day. What are some common myths and misconceptions around sunscreen? The first, is thinking that because there is SPF in your makeup, you don't need to wear sunscreen. Unfortunately, the SPF in makeup isn't enough to limit the harmful effects of UV-Rays. If you're looking for an SPF that works well under makeup, try the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Serum SPF 60+ , a weightless serum that protects, hydrates and primes skin for makeup in one step. The second myth is thinking that if you have dark skin, you don't need to wear sunscreen. Everyone is at risk for melanoma, so regardless of your skin color, you need to wear sunscreen. A great option is Neutrogena's Invisible Daily Defense Face Serum SPF 60+ . This sunscreen helps fight against environmental aggressors like ozone and pollution while hydrating skin. The last myth is thinking that you don't need sunscreen if it's cloudy or cold. Every day is 'sun' day. Wearing sunscreen every day is the best way to prevent skin cancer. It's best to look for sunscreen labels that say, 'broad spectrum' and always wear an SPF 30 or higher. A great option is Neutrogena's new Invisible Daily Defense Mineral Face Liquid SPF 30 which provides 100% mineral active protection with a smooth and lightweight finish. What are some other healthy habits that you can incorporate into your lifestyle to reduce the risk of skin cancer? In addition to wearing sunscreen, avoid being out in the sun during peak hours. The sun's rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you're spending extended periods of time outside, it's best to seek shade (for example, under an umbrella). It's also important to cover up with protective clothing, such as a hat and sunglasses when you can. Lastly, make sure to see your friendly dermatologist for an annual skin cancer screening and mole check.
