　　These days, in addition to cosmetics, women and men both rely on advanced technology to enhance their beauty. Wrinkles can be stretched away with a face lift. Special injections can make lips look attractively young and plump. Countless creams and chemicals promise clear, glowing skin for men and women. Besides being a sign of youth, good skin also means that the person is likely to be healthy and free from parasites.
