Go With The Flawless

LinkGrand.com

Flawless, a leading chain of dermatology and cosmetic care products, has launched a new product and service line called The Real Gentleman (RG) collection with young heartthrob Richard Gutierrez as its latest image model.

Richard shows that only a real gentleman can wear pink in the Flawless campaign.

The RG line is a combination of products and services designed to answer the needs of men who are concerned about the health of their skin.

RG soap contains salicylic acid and refined coconut oil suitable for acne-prone and oily skin. The RG toner contains witchazel and azelog to remove deep-seated dirt on the face and neck, and restore the skin's natural pH balance. The RG cream has vitamins C and E as well as aloe vera and pineapple extract to soothe and moisturize. The RG facial uses a reaffirming mask made of active vegetal charcoal that absorbs impurities and improves the skin's hydration.

Flawless clinics now include branches at Robinsons Ermita, Greenhills Shopping Center, and in Olongapo City.

Parabola


a plane curve traced out by a point moving so that its distance from a fixed point (focus) is equal to its perpendicular distance from a fixed straight line (directrix). It is also the curve made by cutting a cone with a flat plane that is parallel to the side of the cone that slopes. Mirrors with a parabolic shape are used in searchlights and telescopes because incoming parallel rays of light are reflectd onto the focus. This property is used in a telescope, and thus the reverse applies in searchlights.

In mathematics, the parabola (pronounced /pəˈræbələ/, from the Greek παραβολή) is a conic section, the intersection of a right circular conical surface and a plane parallel to a generating straight line of that surface. Given a point (the focus) and a corresponding line (the directrix) on the plane, the locus of points in that plane that are equidistant from them is a parabola.


The parabola has many important applications, from automobile headlight reflectors to the design of ballistic missiles. They are frequently used in physics, engineering, and many other areas.

Tangent


a function of an angle in a right-angled triangle, defined as the ratio of the side opposite the angle to the length of the side adjacent to it. Also, in geometry, a straight line that just touches the circumference of a circle.

In geometry, the tangent line (or simply the tangent) to a curve at a given point is the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point (in the sense explained more precisely below). As it passes through the point of tangency, the tangent line is "going in the same direction" as the curve, and in this sense it is the best straight-line approximation to the curve at that point. The same definition applies to space curves and curves in n-dimensional Euclidean space.


Similarly, the tangent plane to a surface at a given point is the plane that "just touches" the surface at that point. The concept of a tangent is one of the most fundamental notions in differential geometry and has been extensively generalized; see Tangent space.


The word "tangent" comes from the Latin tangere, meaning "to touch".
