 Generally,
fair-skinned and light-haired patients are better
candidates for chemical peels. If you have darker skin,
you may also have good results, depending upon the type
of problem being treated. But you also may be more
likely to have an uneven skin tone after the procedure.

The smallest step
 When
you are dealing with life's uncertainty — and whether
you are going to make any money from your passion is
definitely an uncertainty — just act. Don’t think about
what might happen, or try to predict the outcome, or
plan for every contingency. Simply take a small step
toward making it a reality, and you see what happens.
Who knows? Even the smallest step can change everything.
Take those small steps. You might discover that your
passion does, in fact, make you money. After all, who
knew you could make huge amounts of money figuring out a
way to connect all your friends or make a better map.
Even if you don’t, you will be happy to spend part of
your day doing at least one thing that’s making you
happy. Otherwise, something is terribly wrong.
