Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Famed US TV star Dr. Mehmet Oz and celebrity author Dr. Michael Roizen have just launched a new website for women focusing on the "science of beauty."
Launched last week with major financial backing from Contour Venture Partners (founded by Oprah's fitness trainer Bob Green), the site, YouBeauty, targets women aged 25 to 55 who enjoy health quizzes and aim to enhance their beauty via a healthy lifestyle, according to MedCity, a medical and health news website, in a report on July 8.
On its website, YouBeauty describes itself "as the first website to explore the link between beauty and health in a fun, factual way."
Oz is a best-selling author and has written more than 400 books, and hosts the US television series The Dr. Oz Show. Roizen is the author of the award-winning series of RealAge books, best sellers in the US, which spawned the quiz-oriented RealAge website.
Similar to RealAge, the new site devises personalized action plans for a woman's health and beauty based on data gathered from quizzes. Users can opt for daily emails with tips and advice.
MedCity cites some potential competitors to the new site as including health and beauty sites TotalBeauty and WebMD. YouBeauty has also set up a content-sharing parternship with Yahoo's Shine.
