Lecture on Beautiful Skin after 35 @ Fairfield Public Library

The Health Matters Series at the Fairfield Public Library will host a lecture on Thursday, October 18 at 7 p.m.  Dr. Veronica Waks, N.D. will discuss Beautiful, Natural Skin After 35.  The lecture will be held in the Memorial Room of the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road.


You need to nourish and care for your skin to get that healthy glow.  In this lecture you will learn nutritional aspects of healthy skin including nutrients to reduce wrinkles and eliminate blemishes.  Dr. Waks will examine the ingredients in lotions and creams to discover whether they nourish the skin or harm it with chemical toxins.  You will also learn about healthier substitutes.  Bring your own creams and she will analyze their ingredients with you.
