Antipodes Antibacterial Masks

Improved Essays
I love discovering new facial masks, and with the oily skin that I have, some detoxing of the pores on a regular basis is necessary. Using a mask that consists of clay is the norm for me; because my skin can become congested, I find a clay mask to be quite the problem solver. However, to be honest, they can also be a bit drying at times. I wanted to find a mask that would help with both my oily skin and occasional breakouts, but without being drying to the skin. I needed to find something gentle, yet effective. And to my surprise, I found the Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask.
Raw Manuka Honey has antibacterial and antifungal properties; this ingredient alone made me excited to give the Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask a try. I start out

    In the article, "Repelling Germs with Sharkskin" written by Esther Landhuis, it discusses the benefits of sharkskin for humans. As the article unfolds, you will see a scientist named Anthony Brennan, inventor of the sharkskin texture, realized many marine animals have "crusty" skin due to the buildup of algae and barnacle. This prompted him to wonder what the skin was made up and why it was so different than other animals. The scientists soon found a process that helped them find what the skin was made up of. However the author does not effectively support the claim that sharkskin has the potential to help humans.…

    Facts and Assumptions (Brent) There are few products that can justify the moniker associated with the term “iconic”, in fact there are only a few brands that are actually made in Texas that are worthy of labeling this prestigious term. Most Texans are very proud of the state they inhabit, and extremely proud of the products manufactured in the state. Having this term applied to your label means that your company has satisfied the fastidious requirements expected from our regional populations. This behavior was illustrated when one of the most iconic brands manufactured in Texas, Blue Bell ice cream experienced a listeria outbreak forcing the company on April 20th, 2015 to close its manufacturing facilities for four months, and endure a massive negative publicity campaign.…

    For more than 70 years, antibiotics have been used to treat bacterial infections of the body. The first appearance of this life changing medicine, was in the 1940’s on the battlefield. This medicine was named penicillin, the drug saved many from the brink of death, by fighting bacterial diseases; from then on antibiotics changed the face of medicine.

    The Civil War was one of the most gruesome and most fatal wars ever. This war is known for families being divided, one son fighting for the Union and the other son fighting for the Confederates. Many lives were lost on both sides due to the close proximity of the gunfights and some lives were lost due to the lack of appropriate treatments to the soldiers. The doctors operated on soldiers in very unsanitary conditions, used non-sterilized tools, and did not have today’s antibiotics. John Buford was shot, the bullet had penetrated two inches into his left arm, the skin around the wound was peeled back like a banana covered with blood.…

    Hankin performed an interesting experiment to test if the antibacterial ‘substance’ in Ganges and Jamuna was volatile in nature. He heated the Ganges and Jamuna water in an open and a hermatically sealed tube (Hankin, 1896 and Hankin 2011- this is the English version of the original French paper translated by gangagen.com). He found that the antibacterial activity was retained when the water was heated in the sealed tube, but was lost in the open tube. Although the exact temperature and the duration of heating is not known, it appears that Hankin might have used a considerable temperature for a long duration that would have killed all biological substances, including bacteriophages, except perhaps bacterial endospores (Abedon et al, 2011).…

    Barrier products play an important role in effective and protective skin care regimes (Nix, 2006). Barrier creams are protective products, designed to form an occlusive barrier between the skin and noxious substances, not to be confused with emollients which moisturise the skin (Voegeli, 2008). Overenthusiastic application of some barrier creams may reduce the effectiveness of continence pads by clogging the absorbent layer and causing urine/loose stool to pool against the skin. This causes hyper-hydration and leads to possible moisture damage. However, if barrier creams are applied in line with the manufacturer’s instructions, this should not happen (Bolton, 2004).…

    The topic I am considering is how effective antibacterial foam is in a hospital setting. This topic relates to our nursing practice because we use antibacterial foam constantly when caring for our patients. It is our job as nurses to keep our patients as safe as we can from infection, but is foaming in and out of a patient’s room really doing the trick? The clinical protocol that relates to my PICOT question would be using antibacterial foam in place of hand washing during patient care. This protocol already exists, so I do not need to develop it.…
