Anti Aging Skin Care

January 30th, 2009 · No Comments

WinWinMarketing asked:

LifeCell Skin Cream is a fresh cosmetic product sold by South Beach SkinCare. They are making some very powerful claims about this expensive new entrant into a highly competitive arena, but the public seems to be sold, literally, as the company has had trouble staying current with the demand. We’ll concentrate on the anti-wrinkle promises of this skin cream in Part 1 of our LifeCell Review.

Among its claims, LifeCell Skin Cream professes it can address wrinkles by:

* Rendering wrinkles instantly imperceptible

* Superseding the requirement for botox injections

* needless production of collagen

* Plumping lips

Can a skin cream, even a costly one, really help you say good-bye to ugly lines and wrinkles?

As it turns out, the human eye is unable to see the actual wrinkle. What the eye sees is in truth the shadow caused by the wrinkle. LifeCell Skin Cream counters this with billions of three-dimensional nanoprisms called “fractionated silicon dioxide”. Since all those billions of minute 3D nanoprisms refract light, shadows can indeed be greatly reduced. The silicon dioxide is invisible, but it adheres to the face until removed by washing. We do note that the effect works for shallow lines and wrinkles only.

For supplemental considerable decline in the appearance of wrinkles, LifeCell Skin Cream relies on Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (AH3) to do the job, and its job is to work as a natural botox, without the needle. AH3 is indeed an active isolate that goes to work almost instantly when applied to the skin, and is supposed to operate by relaxing ****** muscles. Botox does something similar, but in a much more invasive fashion. Botox is in reality a toxin that is injected, resulting in paralysis of ****** muscles. The end result does reduce the sight of wrinkles, but is temporary and injections will have to be repeated as needed to maintain the look. According to researchers, anecdotal evidence suggests that AH3 has a analogous mechanism of action as Botox; however, the AH3 in LifeCell Skin Cream does not involve toxins, paralysis, or side effects caused by leaked serum, all of which are connected with botox injections.

Collagen is manufactured by the body, but lower production in later years gives rise to lines, wrinkles, and ugly “crow’s feet”. The producers of LifeCell Skin Cream have designed the product to help stimulate natural production of collagen. Wrinkles appear pushed up and out as though plumped from within, allowing those wrinkles to look smoothened out and lifted away.

This also means that lips will appear fuller; fine lines around the mouth appear smoothened and lip “bleed” is prevented. Again, some women resort to injections to increase the collagen in the lips to get that “pouty”, provocative appearance. With additional production of natural collagen, these expensive injections become needless.

Anti-aging Skin Care- Seven Steps to Reducing Wrinkles and Preventing Saggy Skin

January 29th, 2009 · No Comments

Skin Care
Ellen Agius asked:

Are you wondering which are the best anti aging treatments and ways to rejuvenate your skin?

What can be done about existing lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin? Traditionally the only solutions available have been painful and expensive cosmetic surgeries, toxin injections, and harsh chemical peels. Each of which has a long list of potentially dangerous side effects.

Recent scientific breakthroughs have allowed for the development of more gentle cosmetic products that can reduce saggy skin as well as ****** lines and wrinkles without the risks involved with other more traditional procedures. Probably you are confused with all the different ingredients that we can find in anti aging skin care products, and with so many choices, we don’t even know where to start.

Aging is related to accumulation of damage at the cellular level. Offenders include environment, free radicals, and chemicals. The best way to deal with aging skin is to ensure that you take a proactive approach to skin care and follow a few simple steps to help prevent the early onset of aging and keep your skin hydrated and moisturised.

STEP 1. Use A Preservative Free Paraben Free Skin Care System

The major key in reducing aging skin and restoring youthful lustre is to avoid preservatives in your skin care products. Preservatives, methylparaben in particular, have been shown to increase the damage to skin caused by UV light, thus increasing the aging of skin.

If you want to prevent aging of your skin you really need to be aware of what you are putting on your skin. While many companies claim their products are “all natural” and of the “finest quality,” a close look at the ingredients reveals they contain toxic synthetic preservatives, ‘suspected’ carcinogens, drying alcohols, and synthetic fragrances and dyes. So make an educated decision to use products that contain absolutely no preservatives. A good book to refer to is “The Truth About Cosmetics…And Some Natural Alternatives” by Haru Naito.

Until recently, most skin care products around the world have contained preservatives that promote skin aging. However, new skin care technology has developed and there are now a few unique skin care ranges on the market that have eliminated preservatives with the goal to support the skin’s state of wellness and protect the skin from premature aging. (www.revolutionaryskincare.info).

In fact a world’s first water-based skincare line has been recently released in Japan, Australia and the US which uses a revolutionary patented water filtration system where fungus and bacteria cannot grow thus eliminating the need for any preservatives. You can receive a free report and skin care brochure at www.preservativefreeskincare.info

STEP 2. Keep Your Skin Clean

Cleanse your skin with a gentle exfoliating cleanser. Make sure you do not leave on make up or allow residue to build up on your skin. This will lead to increased stress on your skin and can cause pores to clog and become infected.

The key here is not to rub, scrape, or be overly abrasive in the process. You will require a gentle cleanser that contains a fine abrasive to get into your skin pores and remove bacteria and soil.

STEP 3. Keep Your Skin Properly Hydrated.

Hydrating aging skin and helping it to retain moisture are the keys to reducing and preventing wrinkles. Water provides hydration to our skin. So you require a skin care line that can provide water to your skin cells and plump them up like a grape rather than shrivelled up and dry like a sultana. Look at the hydration rates of the skin care product you are using and the clinical proven results. Also many skin care products use carriers to take the moisturising ingredients into the cells. You need to ensure that no carrier chemicals are used which can be absorbed into your circulation and can cause serious health issues.

STEP 4. Nourish your skin with healthy ingredients

Nourishing the skin with the proper ingredients is also important.

Use skin care that delivers only healthy nutrients that can protect your skin from premature aging, stress and dryness. Many plants in the world have long been recognized for their therapeutic health benefits. Just make sure the ingredients are natural plant foods or certified organic ingredients. Today many scientific studies demonstrate the numerous benefits of using specific botanicals that provide nourishing properties that assist your body in renewing healthy moisture enhanced skin tissues. This is the foundation of a preservative free skincare product line.

STEP 5. Use A Wrinkle Cream That Is Proven To Work

Wrinkles and spots are normally too deep to be effected by skin care products, but not now with the recent advancement in skin care technology skin cells can be corrected from damage done and create new healthy skin cells.

An anti-wrinkle cream lessens the appearance of your wrinkles, depending on how often you use it, the type and amount of active ingredient in the wrinkle cream and the extent of the wrinkles you want to treat.

Do they work? Consider these points when judging the merits of using a wrinkle cream: Ensure the skin care system you use has been subjected to research and clinical trials to prove their benefit. You’ll likely need to use the wrinkle cream once or twice a day for many weeks before noticing improvements. Remembering that skin cells rejuvenate every 28 days.

STEP 6. Support your skin’s health and prevent premature aging with good quality supplements.

ANTIOXIDANTS

Oxidative stress is the principle cause of aging and premature death. By controlling free radicals, anti-oxidants influence how fast and how well we age. It is virtually impossible to get optimal amount of antioxidants from foods alone. So invest in a good quality antioxidant.

PHYTOSTEROLS

Scientists can tell how old you are physiologically based on the amount of DHEA (primary hormone of the body) in your blood. Levels peak at age 25 years and then decline. Most researchers agree to retard aging DHEA levels must be maintained. In our modern diet our daily intake of hormone modulator is severely depleted. A Phyto Hormone supplement provides your body naturally with the building blocks to maintain and enhance normal hormone production. It will support efficient fat burning, help you look younger, feel younger and potentially live longer.

GLYCONUTRIENTS

Science has now established that certain natural plant sugars are vital for maintaining good health. Glyconutrients play a vital role in disease prevention and immune system restoration. Supplementation with a blend of glyconutrients have been shown to improve the immune system and improve the antioxidant level inside cells. In addition research shows that glyconutrients help with reversing 8 of the biological signs of aging. A good reason to start supplementing your diet with these nutrients.

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS

Make sure you get a good blend of essential fatty acids in your diet. Supplementation with essential fatty acids supports your skin to become softer and smoother. They are necessary to make cells membranes and for many of the important hormones and other chemical messengers that tell your body what to do.

So supplementation with a combination of these nutrients is required for you are wanting to reduce the signs of aging and support your skins health from inside as well as outside.

STEP 7. ADEQUATE REST

Make sure you get enough rest, so that your skin has time to repair itself.

We all know that aging skin can be problematic and sometimes even downright scary. By following the tips listed above and carefully selecting your skin care products, you’ll be one step ahead in the battle against aging skin. We all get old but we don’t have to look that way!

The bottom line is to know the science and ingredients behind the products you use, look at the clinical trials, ensure the company is ethical and practices good manufacturing practices and then stick to doing business with one that has a solid reputation for delivering results. There are countless products on the market but only a handful that are based on legitimate science. These are the ones to add to your daily skin care regiment.

So in summary your Skin Care wish list should include:

1. Preservative Free

2. Anti- Aging

3. Fragrance Free

4. Colorant Free

5. Allergy Tested

6. Suits All Skin Types

7. Non- Comedogenic (not clogging, won’t aggravate acne)

8. No Animal Testing

9. Opthamologist Tested

10. Visible Real Results

Too much in one skin care line. Do your research and you will find that there are limited skin care products that provide all these benefits.

How do I get rid of my acne that’s becoming severe again?

January 29th, 2009 · No Comments

Acne
Cindy asked:

I’ve tried so many acne products, including proactive, tea tree oil, spectro gel, neutrogena, home remedies, and nothing could get rid of my acne. I then took accutane, which cures acne, and it worked, but a year later it came back so I took it a second time. Now it’s a year later after my second time using accutane, and my face is getting horrible again (you can’t take Accutane more than 2 times). What can I do?

The Importance of Proactive Skin Care

January 24th, 2009 · No Comments

Skin Care
Ray A. Rubio asked:

Proactive skin care is essential in creating and maintaining, healthy youthful skin. Clear, smooth, glowing skin is a hallmark for beauty. In order to achieve good quality skin, it is important to adopt a holistic, inside-out approach. Unfortunately, not many consumers are familiar with proactive skin care.

As we age, our skin becomes thinner. This makes our skin less durable and more prone to damage. Aging skin also loses its elasticity, thus causing it to sag. But one of the most undesirable effects of aging is wrinkles. Wrinkles commonly appear around the eyes and mouth. Age spots and skin discolorations can also occur as we age.

Proactive skin care is important because it minimizes the effects of aging. Proactive skin care is especially important as the environment toil of urbanization wrecks havoc on our skin. Polluted air, intense sun rays left unchallenged by a depleting ozone and an unhealthy diet are some of the metropolitan factors that affect our skin.

Our skin was not designed to handle such potent man made challenges. In order to retain healthy, youthful skin, a proactive skin care regiment is essential.

But not all skin care products are created equal. Before you begin a proactive skin care program, it is imperative to purchase the correct products. Not many consumers are familiar with the ingredients used in producing cosmetic products.

This ignorant mentality is dangerous, because using poorly formulated cosmetic products will hurt your skin instead of helping. Some cosmetic products are made with mineral oils, dioxane and chemical fragrances; ingredients that could have an adverse long-term effect on your skin.

Using these products might give you skin problems instead of preventing them; an ironic twist for consumers using these products as proactive skin care measures. Some of these ingredients can clog your pores and suffocate your skin, while others may even cause cancer when used in large amounts over long periods of time.

When you develop a proactive skin care regiment, you should look for quality skin care products that were specially formulated with nutrient rich ingredients that are safe to use. Collagen is one such example. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that is made by our bodies. Collagen maintains our skin elasticity. By using collagen formulated products, you increase the elasticity of your skin, thus giving you taunt, smooth skin. Elastin is another protein that is essential in the maintenance of firm skin.

There are many products on the market that offer these ingredients in their products. Unfortunately, some of these products contain a miniscule amount of these important ingredients.

Before you start building your proactive skin care war chest, you look for products contain a reasonable amount of these important ingredients.

If you want to save your skin from being touched by the abrasive hands of time, you should consider implementing a pro active skin care regiment. Plastic surgery may seem like the ‘be-all’, ‘end-all’ solution to physical imperfection, however, it is extremely expensive and has several risks associated with it. If you want to have healthy, youthful skin, start using well-formulated products in your proactive skin care regiment.

Antiaging Skin Care Products

Bioelement

Bioelement is one of the many antiaging skin care products available on the market. According to few reviews this antiaging skin care product works excellent. The price like many other antiaging skin care products is expensive, however according to few if you have normal skin that shows common aging this antiaging skin care product may work for you.

In other words, this antiaging skin care product will match your skin type, which is a great deal. The problem with this antiaging skin care product is that, it has high alcohol content. Thus, if you suffer blemishing you might want to include inhibitors, which houses extracts to control the problem.

Bath and Body Works

Bath and Body Works is another of the antiaging skin care products. However it is amazing that bath and body lotions or creams will minimize wrinkling of the skin. One report claimed there were no effects of using this antiaging skin care product however, it has natural ingredients and smells fresh.

The downside is no apparent wrinkle reductions occurred and the product is a bit on the gooey side. This antiaging skin care product is a kit that includes Serums known as Everlasting Flower Line Reducing.

Thus, the sellers and manufactures claim this antiaging skin care product provides the face elasticity and firmness, as well as reducing wrinkles, but did nothing it claimed for one person using this antiaging skin care product.

Beauticontrol Time

Beauticontrol Time to Go with Retinol gave good reports. This antiaging skin care product tightens the skin, which makes the wrinkles appear less demeaning.

Thus, this antiaging skin care product claims and backs its statement that it will increase Collagen up to five-hundred percent. Well-known scientists from the Molecular Biologists tested and approved this antiaging skin care product for antiaging.

Overall, this antiaging skin care product is one of the less costly antiaging products on the market. Might be worth trying, since many famous persons gave good reviews as well media gave high-reviews on the product line.

Ayur-Medic Eye and Lip Line Corrector

Another person using AYUR-MEDIC Eye and Lip Line Corrector gave a poor report on the product. The advantages according to the source were zilch, and the price for 15ml was outrageous for its greasing feeling that may cause tear. The price is around $40.

The only benefit with this antiaging skin care product is that it gave to one user was that the skin was smoother; however, using Vaseline would give the same affect.

According to few reports this antiaging skin care product is not recommended, since it apparently done nothing in line of reducing lines, including crowfeet. You should always consider your skin type before using any antiaging skin care product.

Internal And External Natural Skin Care

January 19th, 2009 · No Comments

Skin Care
Ann Knapp asked:

There are many things in life that we have a tendency to take for granted. Often we don’t think about these things or areas of our life until something goes wrong. An example that illustrates this point could be the taking of one’s health for granted. Specifically, we could be eating anything that we wanted. Then one day we experience and extreme ache in one of our teeth. It is when this pain is experienced that we realize that perhaps we have neglected oral hygiene or have eaten something that was not beneficial to prevent tooth decay.

Another part of our body that is often taken for granted is our skin. Often this important part of the human body is counted on to provide protection and maintain the temperature of the body without being given a second thought. However, there may be ongoing damage being experienced by the skin on a daily basis that ultimately may lead to skin disease.

Therefore, it is important to provide skin care. Two primary ways of providing natural skin care fall into two categories. Those categories include exterior care and internal care of the skin.

External Natural Skin Care

There are two specific ways that an individual can provide natural skin care for the exterior part of their skin. Those two specific ways are through the exfoliation process and by applying quality lotions or creams.

Exfoliation is a process in which the individual takes a dry brush and lightly scrubs their skin. This is an important process because the skin is always reproducing itself and therefore dense skin remains on the surface. This procedure can be done with a soft bristle brush made of natural material.

By lightly scrubbing the skin dead skin is dislodged. This in turn keeps the pores of the skin unclogged which reduces the buildup of oil in the pores. In addition to stimulating the skin, this exfoliating process stimulates the circulation of blood and the lymph system.

It is best to conduct this natural skin care process prior to the morning shower. In that way the loosened skin can be washed away.

One additional way of providing a natural skin care solution to this important organ of the body is by restoring some of the natural features of skin. For example, if an individual’s skin is dry and flaky a quality skin moisturizer can be applied to help restore some of the moisture that has been lost. In addition, as the body begins to age it loses some of its elasticity. This is to the fact that collagen levels of the skin are reduced. To help minimize this loss of collagen and subsequent wrinkling, natural skin care products can be applied.

Internal Natural Skin Care

As part of caring for the skin externally, it is also important to care for the skin internally. This internal natural skin care can be accomplished through one’s diet.

The first critical part of a diet to produce healthy skin is through the drinking of proper amounts of water. Water not only helps to hydrate the body but helps to eliminate waste products. This is accomplished by flushing the kidneys with the proper amounts of water as well as maintaining the right digestive balance. Specifically, insufficient amounts of water can cause constipation. Constipation is an in balance of the digestive system which retains waste products within the body. This retention of waste products ultimately affects the health of the skin.

Other important features of a quality diet that can help aid in natural skin care is a diet rich in fiber. This important diet component aids the digestive system and helps in the elimination of waste products.

One other important dietary item that should be found in a person’s healthy eating should be the ingestion of good fats. This is because these good fats aid in the reproduction of cells and assist in the production of hormones and essential body chemicals. Both the reproduction of cells and assistance of the production of hormones and chemicals contribute to healthy skin.
