Teenage Health: Makeup, Pimples, and Tanning

There are lots of topics teenage girls don’t want to discuss, but two topics that are close to their hearts are tanning and makeup.  They are sure to have an abundance of opinions on these topics. You probably wouldn’t think of the howstuffworks site as the place to go to for teen health topics like these, but it’s a reliable good source for facts teens need to know. The site, for example, has a Fact or Fiction Quiz about Sunburn, and information about the dangers of tanning beds and popping pimples. There are videos on healthy skin with Dr. Oz who explains how to take what he calls a facial fingerprint to determine age. Think about how girls like to share makeup and enjoy experimenting tester items in stores. Your girls will be surprised to learn on howstuffworks.com about diseases such as cold sores and pink eye that are spread by sharing products. Answers to questions such as: “is it bad to sleep with my makeup on?” are available with the click of a mouse. Keep in mind, however, that the site does contain an abundance of advertisements.
