Gel manicures are all the rage. Customers ordered them 24 percent more last year, according to a "Nails Magazine" survey. In a gel manicure, a special solution is applied to your nail and then hardened under a UV light for a longer-lasting manicure. But as with anything new, there's concern that it may not always be safe. We first heard about this issue from our friends at Consumer Reports. The gel manicure itself seems to be fine, but there are two problems: Some technicians don't do them right, and some nail salons are passing off other procedures as gel manicures when they're really not. Imagine a life where everyday tasks are a torture. That's the life Jane Ubell-Meyer has been living. "I'm in terrible pain," Ubell-Meyer, a gel manicure customer, said. She said her problems started a few months ago, after she got what she thought was a gel manicure. "Anything that touched my thumb caused an electric shock, whether it was

We all want to look good as we get older, and for the majority of people, the signs of aging are most obvious on our face. Dermatologists remind wearing sunscreen, keeping sun exposure to a minimum and avoiding smoking, but what about slowing down premature aging from the inside? Recent studies say part of the answer may be cutting out soda. It seems like every time we turn around, there is another study about the negative health effects of soft drinks, and recently attention has turned to the damage it can do to your skin. Dr. Steven Victor, dermatologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City told FoxNews.com that in more than 33 years of practice, he’s experienced the effects of soda on his patient’s skin first-hand. “The biggest problem about soda is the crazy amount of sugar,” Victor said. “The dangers of sugar to the body are not new, scientists have been studying it for years. When a patient consumes a lot of sugar, it shows in their skin.” Results from National Hea

It's a boy for Leelee Sobieski and Adam Kimmel! The actress and her fashion designer hubby welcomed their second child together in August, E! News confirms. The couple have named their son Martin. Sobieski kept her second pregnancy a secret and never actually made an announcement. Instead, she showed up to the Christian Dior Cruise 2015 fashion show at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York City on May 7 with a very visible baby bump. Cradling her growing tummy at the time, Leelee stunned in a blue Christian Dior double-face cashmere buttoned top and a blue double-faced cashmere long dress. The 31-year-old and Kimmel are already parents to daughter Louisanna Ray, 4, whom they adoringly call "Lewi." They welcomed little Lewi in December 2009. Eight months later, the first-time parents tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in Italy. "When I was pregnant, I kept praying, 'Please give me a lovable and loving, mysterious daughter that I can be fasc

High fashion isn't often inspired by environmental hazards, but as air pollution levels soared in Beijing last week, models at China Fashion Week walked the runway wearing designer respiratory face masks. The QIAODAN Yin Peng Sports Wear Collection showcased fashion and function in the same breath at the biannual event, which runs through the weekend. Some outfits had built-in face masks while others featured smog masks coordinated to match the ensemble. The runway shows briefly coincide with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, for which Beijing is implementing strict pollution controls. The city is limiting traffic and shutting down industrial factories to help air quality conditions. Similar measures were taken for the 2008 Summer Olympics. This month, Beijing International Marathon participants came prepared with face masks and sponges to combat smog levels that were deemed "hazardous" by the United States Embassy. Yin Peng, the designer, sa
