14 - Sunday, July 27, 1986 - North Shore News Fashion Skin care moves into computer age ELIZABETH ARDEN unlocks the future for the science of beautiful skin with the introduction of the Skin Imaging Computer. An unprecendented merger of skin research and advanced elec- tronics, this innovative componen- try marks a dramatic breakthrough that invites every woman seeking an ideal complexion to access an accurate evaluation of her skin along with a program of effective, individualized treatment. As the customer approaches the Elizabeth Arden counter, she establishes her own personal one- to-one relationship with the Skin Imaging Computer. Without the time-consuming task of removing her make-up, she communicates directly with the computer simply by pressing the activator button, and placing her forehead on the specially-designed headrest, thus aligning her com- plexion with the computer's view- ing lens. Within the lens, a computerized light beam — developed from the image analyzation technology NASA uses to chart the peaks and valleys cf the moon — scans her skin's surface. Highly sensitive, the beam in- stantly ‘treads’? her skin’s texture and digitizes the information, pro- filing its special characteristics. Skin analysis data is then merg- ed with the customer’s responses to a series of questions appearing on the computer's monitor. Using the easy-to-operate keyboard, she simply punches in her answers to queries regarding vital statistics. Evaluation is immediate and in a matter of seconds, the customer Teceives an accurate profile of her individual skin type, as well as the Elizabeth Arden system of care detailing products tailored to mect her skin’s special requirements.

Although it is the most common form of cancer, skin cancer is also the most curable cancer. Among the various causes of skin cancer are contact with chem- icals, such as inorganic arsenic, contact with coal tar and mineral oils that are widely used in the engineering industry; and over- radiation from frequent x-rays. The most common cause of skin cancer, however, is repeated ex- posure to sunlight’s ultraviolet rays without protection. Over-exposure to the sun can cause another scaly condition known medically as ‘‘actinic keratosis’’. if left untreated, this condition can become a squamous cell cancer which can then spread to other parts of the body. If treated early, skin cancer can be easily eradicated. In fact 95 per cent of all skin cancers can be cured with easy diagnosis and pro- per treatment, according to a con- sultant dermatologist.
