sive review o f this book. Since its inception, the U N W L A has addressed issues pertaining to wom en’s health and wellbeing, and we will continue to do so in light o f the issues cur rently facing Ukrainian women. But probably our greatest challenge today is to forge effective alliances with other organizations and governmental institutions, in the United States and Ukraine, to gain visibility and meaningful support for our goals. Our president and several members o f our E x ecutive Committee traveled to Ukraine last August to participate in the Ukrainian W orld Congress’ s Quin quennial Convention, which drew 300 delegates from 26 countries and several hundred observers. W e pro posed several resolutions with regard to the trafficking o f women and children, fam ily issues, and homeless children. Some o f these resolutions were directed at the Ukrainian government’s failure to initiate or sus tain proactive policies with respect to these important issues. W e know w e can’t go it alone. And we are pre pared to do what it takes with increased organizational commitment and the personal resolve o f our leaders and members.

Dr. Xenos is also the parlia mentarian of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, Inc. Caring for the Largest Organ of Your Body by Ihor Magun, M.D., F.A.C.P. Your skin is a living, always changing tissue. It is actually the largest organ o f the body, yet is fre quently neglected. M ost skin tends to be dry, oily or a combination o f dry and oily. This depends on a number o f factors. Skin can shift in its needs as seasons change. It is also affected by heredity, the environment, the state o f your health, your sleeping patterns, stress and relaxation, and by alcohol, smoking, and food. To get a general idea o f your skin type, examine your skin completely in a brightly-lit room. Daylight is ideal. Look at your hairline (hairspray, gel- induced dryness). Focus on your chin (occasionally oily due to aggravation from a telephone receiver). Examine the sides and bridges o f your nose if you wear glasses (dry and sensitive skin). If there is visible dryness, flaking patches, these are obvious signs o f dry skin. If your nose or another part o f your body appears shiny within several hours o f cleansing, this is a mark o f oily skin. This is the usual combination skin pattern. Skin can repair itself and it is never too late to start paying attention to it. The simplest and easiest w ay to keep skin healthy and younger looking is to stay out o f the sun. Skin changes with age. W e sweat less and take longer to heal. Loss o f sweat and oil glands naturally occurs during the aging process, which contributes to dry skin. Itching can occur be cause skin is irritated relatively easily. So what can be done for dry skin (the more commonly occurring type)? A void long baths or show ers and excessive use o f soap or perfume. Bathe once daily unless it is absolutely necessary to bathe more frequently. Use warm water, wash with your hands avoiding the use o f sponges. Do not over dry with towels. "Pat dry" your skin. W hile the skin is still damp, apply moisturizer. Good moisturizers have vi tamins A , C, and E added. Purchase a good quality brand that works for you. Splurge on that indulgence. For oily skin and for rem oving makeup, wash with a makeup remover or a cream and follow with an astringent. Afterwards, you m ay want to use a moistur izer. Get a good night's rest. Fatigue can slow the cir culation o f blood. Stop smoking. Smokers tend to have more wrinkles for reasons that are not clearly defined but m ay be due to the interference o f blood flow to the skin. Exercise regularly. This increases blood flow to the skin producing a healthy glow. A s the body sweats, it produces sebum, a natural moisturizer. Lim it stress, it affects overall health as well as your complexion. Drink plenty o f water. This helps maintain elasticity and suppleness. A void excessive caffeine because it actually depletes water. In many w ays, your skin is a road map o f not merely your contact with the environment but o f what you have done to help and protect it. M ake sure you are doing a good job.
