Oakville - Local funnyman Glen Foster, aka "That Canadian Guy", is hoping to gain attention with a clever ad in The Oakville Beaver. "It looks like a real story", says Foster, writing about himself in the third person. "so most people will just read it without noticing." The comedian, who has performed on CBC's "Just For Laughs", is using the humorous ad to fill a few remaining dates in his Christmas calendar. "There are people who still haven't hired entertainment for their party, and I want to let them know that I can be booked through my website www.thatcanadianguy.com. We all tend to procrastinate", he confesses. "I know. I should have run this ad weeks ago." se a & g jcraft 5 **` S " / i « T !£ 5t n F in d u s o n since 1991 Q u a l i t y P i c t u r e F r a m i n g at a R e a s o n a b le P r ic e F ram in g A rt G allery · A n tiqu es (·C o m in gS o o n ) 310 Kerr St. Oakville · 9O 5 -8 49 - 0 30 0 ' seaandcraftfram ing@ gm ail.com .

Here, Dr. Joseph Lam, a Vancouver-based clinical assistant professor in pediatrics and dermatology, offers his top tips when it comes to shopping for the right creams, cleansers, and oils. 1. Natural does not equal better. "There's an arti ficial divide between natural and artificial products. Just because something is natural, doesn't mean it gets a free pass," explains Lam. He says poison ivy is a great example -- it's completely natural, but if you put it on your skin you'll definitely get a bad re- $299 S i $70 $99 Reg.

Keep this in mind and re member that you can experience an allergic reaction even with nat ural products, many of which are still being tested for use on the skin. Ever-popular olive oil was shown to cause redness in a re cent study, making coconut oil a better choice. 2. "Free" isn't always neces sary. Always looking for sulfatefree, paraben-free, SLS-free, and whatever the latest "free" trend is? Don't worry -- Lam says de spite widespread alarm, not ev erything that's taken out of prod ucts needs to be. " It's good to have media and social awareness about what goes into the products we put on our skin, but there's a gap between science and public perception of many ingredients." He assures that concerns over parabens and sulfates aren't sup ported by good data, and reminds that if something is removed, it needs to be replaced with some thing else that may or may not be better. 3. Opt for something designed with you in mind. What works for your best friend may not perform the same miracles on you, so use common sense and pick prod ucts designed with your skin type in mind. For example, if you have sensitive skin or eczema look for products with the Eczema Society of Canada seal of acceptance. Products identified as accepted are free of ingredients known to be irritating for sensitive skin and have undergone dermatologist formulation review. (NC)
