This is a controversial topic for women. As editors for a
magazine that runs advertisements for cosmetic procedures,
we hear it all the time: Some decry the ads, insisting we don’t
run them and saying we’re harming women. I don’t know
much about advertising, but I can safely assume that if those

Beautiful skin on a budget


Check out Cathie Beck’s blog, “A new face” (www.womensmag.com/category/multimedia/new-face-blog), to read about
beautiful skin on a budget. Look for the entry, “What I don’t know about skin.”
Blog excerpt:
There’s quite an arsenal of effective ingredients out there that will get your skin in good shape. Here are a few:
Peptides are able to penetrate to the deeper layers of skin. They signal the body that new collagen needs to be produced.
Growth factors are proteins that promote the organization and maintenance of cells and tissues within the body. They play a
major role in the healing of skin damaged by the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
Vitamin B3 in the form of niacin. Niacin thickens all three levels of skin and renders added protection.
Vitamins A, B, C and E are all important for the integrity of the skin. You don’t need an expensive moisturizer. Moisturizers
simply hydrate skin.
The bottom line is that in a clinical formula, a combination of these powerful ingredients will help you turn back the clock. A
qualified clinician will be able to evaluate your skin and develop a program specifically for you.

Five Women Who STORIES BY CAROLINE SEIB

Light the Community


These are the stories of our women — women who have left footsteps into unmarked paths of
astrogeophysics, journalism and community service.
You might have graduated high school with them or welcomed into town as your neighbors. Perhaps one
of these women picked tomatoes for you from her garden or collected toys for your Christmas.
These women have carpooled your kids, and they have tutored your daughters and sons.
Students, these women have raised money for your school and created fair-housing leases.
They care about preparing your little ones for education and about their dance lessons
on Tuesday afternoons. Boulder, they’ve preserved your buildings and the giving spirit
of your people. These are the stories of women — our women — who have forgotten
the word “no” and, consequently, the concept of selfishness in order to light the
community of Boulder.
On Sept. 18, the Boulder Chamber presented the Women Who Light the
Community awards to Sue Deans, Diane Magliolo, JoAnn Joselyn, Josie Heath
