Arm Mitts
Solerra Tanning Mitts
There are two things about me you should know, if you don't already. I am really pale. I am so a klutz. In fact, I am such a klutz that once, on twitter, someone I didn't know picked up a tweet about my falling out of a parked car (I did) and tweeted something like, "if you think you are clumsy, you have nothing on Gouldylox". It was not my proudest moment (but was really funny. Thanks @Uncreative.)
I am also really pale. Being basically Irish ensures I have really fair skin, with the exception of ] tough melasma blotches. I am the perfect candidate for faux tanning. Which is why I couldn't pass up the chance to check out Solerra Tanning Mitts.
These tanning mitts are not your mother's self tanner. First of all, they come with a nifty plastic glove inside of the mitt, so your hands stay nice and free of faux glow. Even I could manage to cut on the dotted line and insert my hand without making a mess. (Just be sure the plastic inside is open before you stick your hand in.) The ones I tried come with a color additive that shows you just where you have applied the color, ensuring a perfect tan. These mitts smell fresh and not like the dreaded self-tanner stink we are all use to. It actually moisturizes your skin, dries quickly and lasts for up to 10 days. Solerra Tanning Mitts can do this because of their use of Invisicare technology.
Invisicare encapsulates sunless tanners and moisturizing technology and bonds them to the skin forming an "invisible layer" of tanning beauty. Skin can breathe and respire normally to promote good skin health while bonding the Invisicare layer to the active ingredients.
The Invisicare ® layer allows deep penetration and even all-over absorption without the use of silicones, alcohol, gels, waxes or other skin damaging delivery systems. This penetration oxygenates the epidermal layer naturally promoting healthier, youthful looking skin.
Invisicare also forms a water-proof, sweat-resistant bond that won't clog pours (non-comedogenic) to insure the healthiest, longest lasting sunless tanning experience.
Sunless tanning molecules are bound to the skin cells with Invisicare to guarantee even, all-over absorption. The longer and stronger the bond between the molecules insures they will penetrate the outer layer completely. The reason many sunless products fade in 2-4 days is they were never absorbed into the outer epidermal layer properly. A darker tan that lasts longer (7-10 days) and resists streaks during application is the end result!
I was so excited to try these mitts that as soon as I got home, I hopped in the shower, exfoliated and prepared to become a bronze goddess. A few hours later, my arms, decolletage and neck looked amazing. Streak-free, natural and even smelled great!
My legs, on the other hand, were a different story. They were really uneven - not so much from streaks, but from missed spots. Mr. Lox tried to assure me they weren't that bad. However, before I cry foul on the faux tan, I have to admit it is likely to be pilot error. Let me tell you why.
I am not good at things that take coordination or timing or the ability to tell if something is done evenly. Do you remember the Perfect Pancake? You could not escape the infomercial a few years ago. If you can turn a door knob, you can make a Perfect Pancake. Simple right? The infomercial had little kids and grandmas making perfect pancakes like nobody's business. So I figured I could do it too. I put in the batter, waited the amount of time suggested and flipped the Perfect Pancake. It did not go well. When I turned the handle, the way you turn a door knob, batter flew EVERYWHERE. On the stove, the walls, the ceiling, the sink. The cat and I were covered in batter. The wall phone, on the other side of the kitchen was all covered in pancake. Mr. Lox could not stop laughing, which almost caused me to throw the remaining batter directly at him. I guess I was supposed to open the door/turn the pancake slower. Who does that? Who turns a door knob that slowly unless you are in a horror movie? My point is, I am not good at things many people find so easy that anyone can do it. I can't blame Round One on the mitts. I have to blame myself.
Round Two: After exfoliating and using the mitt again, my arms, neck and decolletage still look amazing. The gams are glowing gorgeously too! There are a few places I appear to have missed and I wish the immediate color was a little darker. For the most part the color looks great. I think I am the only one who will notice my little slip ups around the heel. My favorite part? It doesn't smell like your standard DHA tanners! I am not sure I will get 10 days out of this tan, but even less than half of that is better than what I was getting with my old lotion. Despite my inadequacy at self-tanning, I look pretty darn good. And if I can do it... For more information visit www.bioreskincare.com and just click on the solerra link

constraint induced movement therapy?
anyone have experience with CIMT? and what your (or person you know) overall success rate?How should CIMT begin? I'm tying to find out if a mitt or sling work best(or other restraining device) and what does the sling actually look like?(a normal arm sling would still permit use of the hand and arm to an extent, thereby defeating the purpose correct?)i am extremely interested in learning much more about CIMT(or CIT) but have not found any good detailed articles on the web about it. don't wanna know who developed it or anything- just the process, the equipment and the possible outcome, etc.
weblinks are appreciated:) this is for a research paper i am developing.
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CI) forces the use of the affected side by restraining the unaffected side. With CI therapy, the therapist constrains the survivor’s unaffected arm in a sling. The survivor then uses his or her affected arm repetitively and intensively for two weeks.
Dr. Edward Taub, a professor of psychology at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, developed CI therapy. He says that after a stroke, a survivor tries unsuccessfully to use the affected side. Their initial failure discourages them from using that side. Dr. Taub calls this “learned non-use.”
After her stroke in 1999, Reva Baughman, 61, of La Crescenta, Calif., could hardly lift her left arm or move her fingers. This year, she underwent CI therapy at the Advanced Recovery Rehab Center in Sherman Oaks, Calif. Therapy lasted six hours a day, five days a week, for three weeks.
Today she can raise her arm, hold a bottle steady in her hand and feed herself sandwiches and cookies with her left hand. “Before CI therapy, I did not even try to use my affected hand and arm,” she says. “Now I try new things every day with my left arm and hand. I have the impetus to try.”
In order to use CI therapy, survivors need to be able to extend their wrists and move their arm and fingers. Numerous small studies show CI therapy improves movement on the affected side. A June 2000 study published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association also showed that brain activity actually improves with the treatment.
“This finding offers hope to researchers who believe it may be possible to stimulate or manipulate brain areas to take over lost functions, a process known as cortical reorganization,” says Dr. Taub.
Currently, researchers are studying whether CI therapy improves arm and shoulder movement three-to-six months after stroke and if the gains last over a period of two years.
At this time, medical insurance does not reimburse for CI therapy. It costs about $5,000 for two weeks of treatment
