Desiring a Dream Lift
March 17, 2010
Unfortunately for us, the natural course of aging takes away the smooth, firm and elastic skin of our youth. As we get older, when the natural collagen and elastin - which provides structure to our skin, and hyaluronic acid - that which promotes skin volume, vitality and hydration, in our skin diminish, the dreaded wrinkles start to appear. And then consider the other predisposing factors: lack of nutrition, over exposure to the sun, ailments, injuries, smoking, and overall lifestyle. We haste to add genetics, too.
A simple, healthy lifestyle works miracles, but at one point in time, when ageing takes its toll, when frown lines, brow lines, crowsfeet and other unwanted facial lines become annoyingly evident, you have to trust the fate of your once fabulous skin to your cosmetic surgeon.
Ah, of course you know what science can do these days – that is if you have been seeking for wonder remedies anyway? The advent of new forms of facial rejuvenation requiring no surgery, such as the revolutionary injectable wrinkle treatments and skin fillers, have added new dimensions to the field of cosmetic dermatology.
Injectable skin and wrinkle fillers are exceptionally effective because they increase tissue volume, reduce wrinkles and generally improve the skin’s overall contour. Aside from the immediate, noticeable results, these treatments are also proven to be naturally safe.
This is a breakthrough for those people that want the keep their youthful looks but are fearful of the effects of surgerical treatments. Celebrity based magazines have of course not helped in this area with many stories over the years of how surgery has gone bad for the movie stars that so many look to for the latest in fashion and beauty.
So how does this safer beauty treament work?
Dermal fillers are substances that are injected just below the surface of your skin to naturally bind with the water in your skin and replenish the supporting elements. This way the lines, wrinkles and scars are filled from the inside out. The result is a firmer and smoother skin, restored to its more youthful appearance.
The sensation about all these is clearly evident on our favorite fifty-ish performer Madonna. In true form, she is leading the way, telling us all to get a new face and embrace gorgeous ageing as a choice.
Madonna is happy to admit to having had work done and is not to hush up on her regular appointments with her London-based cosmetic surgeon for the treatments called “dream lift.” Rather than the classic face lift, the dream lift uses non-invasive injectable treatments to reduce wrinkles and restore volume.
Dream lift includes a face treatment that uses hyalunoric acid which is not animal based and requires no patch testing. The hyaluronic acid, described by doctors as “the key to the foundation of youth,” come in the form of a clear, biodegradable gel which is injected into the dermal layer of skin to have an immediate smoothing and plumping effect on the skin tissue.
Injectable wrinkle treatments are super subtle but highly effective in rolling back the years. By doing all these minimally invasive things, Madonna still looks gorgeous and makes most 20-year olds look inferior.

How to Find the Best Anti-Aging Skin Creams
March 16, 2010
You can find the best anti-aging skin creams by using the process of trial and error. Or, you can rely on advice from friends. Or, you can do a little research about effective ingredients and look for them on the label. The information here will help start your research.
Using the process of trial and error is not very safe, especially if you have had any adverse or allergic reactions in the past. If you do decide to use a product, without first checking to see if it contains known allergens or irritants, you should test it daily for at least a week on an inconspicuous area of the body.
Allergens in anti-aging skin cream rarely cause irritation right away, unless the ingredients are very harsh. In most cases, it takes some time for the ingredient to build up in the skin’s layers and cause irritation.
There are some products on the market that will not cause allergic or adverse reactions, because they contain no allergens, irritants or toxins. The ingredients are nutrients, like coenzyme Q10, plant-based oils like grape seed and extracts from plants like wakame kelp.
Actually, the best anti-aging skin creams contain coenzyme Q10, grape seed oil and wakame kelp, as well as other nutrients that are known to assist in the skin’s natural rejuvenation processes. Protein is a nutrient that is very important to the skin’s health and appearance. But, the typical anti-aging skin cream contains the protein collagen, which is not beneficial, at all.
Collagen is the structural protein that makes up the elastic fibers located far beneath the skin’s outer layers. If applying more collagen would increase the number of elastic fibers that the body produces, there would be no need for collagen injections. But, it doesn’t work that way. The protein cannot penetrate that deeply.
The best anti-aging skin creams contain the protein keratin, which makes up the majority of the skin’s outer layers. It can be absorbed into the skin’s cells and used by them to absorb water and for other purposes. Research has shown that the active form of the protein keratin, when applied topically, stimulates the production of new cells and fibers. It improves the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
By increasing the number of new skin-cells, anti-aging skin cream containing the active keratin protein complex will increase the number of antioxidants within the skin’s layers. Antioxidants are important for preventing and reversing the effect of free radical molecules.
Free radicals are naturally present within the cells, but normally they do no harm. As we age, however, their numbers increase, while the number of neutralizing antioxidants decreases. So, the radicals begin to damage the cellular membranes and eventually the DNA strands. This kind of damage is the primary cause of all of the signs of aging.
The active keratin formula has also been shown to inhibit inflammation. So it is beneficial for rosacea and redness. Only the best anti-aging skin creams will contain the ingredient. They may cost a little more, but if you want results, they’re worth every penny.

Anti Aging Skin Care Reviews
March 16, 2010
Reading an anti aging skin care review can give you a little information or a lot. As you read online reviews, it is helpful to know a little bit about the ingredients that are commonly used in these skincare products. That way, you can understand why some customers report adverse or allergic reaction.
The most common causes of allergic reactions to health and beauty aids of all kinds are artificial preservatives and added fragrances. So, when you see reviewers talk about rashes, redness or itching, the symptoms are probably not caused by the “active” ingredients.
A warning label on the box or tube is a clue that the product contains known allergens, irritants or toxins. If you are advised to contact a poison control center due to accidental ingestion, then you know right off the bat that the product contains substances that are toxic to the human body.
Ideally, an anti aging skin care system should be safe enough to eat and gentle enough to use every day. With the exception of special deep cleansing or moisturizing masks that are designed to be used on a bi-weekly basis, if the directions say “for occasional use only”, then it’s really not what you are looking for.
What you really want to look for are:
1. Moisturizing ingredients
2. Antioxidants to keep free radical damage and oxidation to a minimum
3. Plant-based oils, such as grape seed
4. Beneficial extracts, such as wakame kelp, passion fruit
5. Active proteins
It is possible to find an anti aging skin care system that contains all of those ingredients and is free of artificial preservatives, added fragrances, artificial colors and other toxins. It just takes a little time to find them.
You want moisturizing ingredients, because dry skin simply looks older. It is more likely to sag and wrinkle. The tone and texture is uneven. Moister or oilier skin simply looks healthier and younger.
Petroleum-based oils (petrolatum, mineral oil, liquid paraffin, etc) are not moisturizing. Plant-based oils are.
You want to keep free radical damage to a minimum, because it is the major cause of wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, age or sun spots and other outward signs of age. Free radical damage begins mostly as a response to overexposure to the sun, although cigarette smoke and other environmental toxins can cause it, too.
An anti aging skin care system that contains wakame kelp extract protects the skin’s hyaluronic acid content, which is important for maintaining firmness and smoothness. One containing passion fruit extract helps to regulate sebum production, which is particularly beneficial for combination skin types, with a few oily spots here and a few dry spots, there.
Currently, the only active protein available is functional keratin. In most cases, protein ingredients are rendered inactive by high temperatures and harsh chemicals.
If you were to find an anti aging skin care review for a system containing all of these ingredients, you would see that people were very pleased. No adverse reactions and younger looking skin; what more could you ask for.

Anti Aging Skin Care Guide in Several Simple Steps
March 16, 2010
Here’s a short anti aging skin care guide that I think you’ll enjoy, because the steps are easy to follow, affordable and never painful. Let’s pretend that it’s time to go to bed.
Lots of people have trouble sleeping and it shows. They have dark circles and bags under their eyes. As time goes by, they have more wrinkles than their peers.
When you get plenty of sleep (6-9 hours depending on the individual), your body produces more human growth hormone, which keeps the skin firm and stimulates the production of new cells to take the place of those that are damaged throughout the day.
When you don’t get enough sleep, your body produces more stress hormones, like the now well-known Cortisol. It contributes to obesity and damages collagen fibers.
The production of collagen fibers decreases with age, which is one of the reasons that our skin starts to sag and wrinkles become more visible. We can’t really afford to let anything damage the fibers that we have.
So, go to bed at a regular time each night and try to get at least six hours of sleep every single night. If you like to sleep on your side, consider using a pillow that takes the pressure off of your eyes. You’ll have fewer crow’s feet that way.
You can also use an anti aging skin care treatment specifically designed for nighttime. A number of safe and natural ingredients have been shown, in clinical studies, to support and stimulate the skin’s powers of rejuvenation. Nighttime creams containing those ingredients are available from several companies. Here’s what they contain.
Shea butter—one of the most effective moisturizers known, softens, smoothes, fades age spots and reduces wrinkles
Avocado extract—shown to stimulate collagen production
Coenzyme Q10—prevents and repairs free radical damage, one of the primary causes of wrinkles
Once you are awake and ready to start your day, this anti aging skin care guide starts with the recommendation to use mild cleansers and gentle exfoliants. Avoid all abrasives. Let your clean soft washcloth wash away the old skin cells and make room for the new ones.
After cleansing, you should apply a special day cream. Makeup should be applied afterwards. Shaving should be done before application of the day cream.
There is no single best daytime anti aging skin care treatment. There are several that contain coenzyme Q10, grape seed oil, kelp extracts and palm oil. But, only a few contain an ingredient called functional keratin.
As far as anti-aging ingredients go, functional keratin cannot be beat. It stimulates the production of new cells and fibers, reduces inflammation, improves firmness and increases the ski’s antioxidant content. Basically, it does everything but turn back the clock.
When you are out and about, wear a hat or stay in the shade, whenever possible. If need be, use a zinc oxide sun-block on exposed areas.
Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, because of the antioxidants they contain and drink some green tea. Research indicates that green tea catechins may help protect the skin against sun damage.
That completes your brief anti aging skin care guide. There are other things that you can do, but now you have a starting point.

Anti Aging Skin Care as a Plastic Surgery Replacement
March 16, 2010
Anti aging skin care creams are an alternative to cosmetic or “plastic” surgery, which is painful and expensive. Independent groups have tested the effectiveness of these kinds of products and found that the results varied, which should not be surprising. Manchester University researchers concluded that “some ingredients have an effect”.
In some cases, there are so many different ingredients in an anti-aging skin cream that it makes it hard to tell which one has the desired effect. But, if you keep a list of the “inactive” compounds commonly used by cosmetic companies, it makes it a little easier to tell what’s working and what’s not.
There are many inactive compounds. This is by no means an all inclusive list. But, these are some of the most common “in-actives” found in anti-aging products.
1. Petrolatum
2. Mineral oil
3. Paraffin wax or liquid paraffin
Most people include water on the list of inactive ingredients, but water is moisture and moisturizing is one of the goals. If it is moister, the face will look firmer and younger. The cells will “plump up” and so will the skin’s layers. So, water actually could be considered a moisturizing ingredient.
Other ingredients that are more effective than water for moisturizing and plumping up the skin’s cells include a protein complex called Functional Keratin, an antioxidant called coenzyme Q10, Shea butter, grape seed oil, olive oil and palm oil.
Shea butter and the plant oils are similar to the oils produced by the skin’s sebaceous glands. They work to moisturize and lock the moisture in. Grape seed oil has a unique filming ability that prevents moisture loss and prevents makeup or dirt from clogging the pores.
Coenzyme Q10 is an important ingredient for an anti aging skin care product, because the amount present in the skin decreases with age, which leads to increasingly high numbers of free radical molecules. Free radical molecules can eventually damage cellular membranes and cellular DNA. They are the underlying cause of most wrinkles and nearly all age spots.
Functional Keratin is a unique protein complex developed using patented processes. The protein is extracted from sheep’s wool and processed gently to insure that it is not “changed”. The goal was to allow the skin’s cells to absorb the protein and use it. The company achieved that goal.
Any antiaging skin cream should contain Functional Keratin, because it does more than any two, three or four ingredients put together. It works, because it is the protein that accounts for the majority of the cells in the skin’s outer layers and one of its jobs is to pull moisture into the cells. As the cells become filled with moisture, they begin to look firmer. Soon, wrinkles will begin to stretch out.
Studies have found that most of the creams on the market don’t work that well. If they do provide a reduction in wrinkles, it is so slight as to be unnoticeable.
But, according to Manchester University, an anti aging skin care cream can be effective, as long as it contains the right ingredients. Now, you know a little more about what ingredients to look for.

Anti Aging Natural Skin Care Products
March 16, 2010
More and more people are looking for anti aging natural skin care products and safer cosmetics of all kinds. They have become aware that the chemicals and synthetic ingredients used by the major cosmetic companies are not healthy. Organizations like the Environmental Working Group (EWG) have helped to spread the word. Health writers, like me, try to help, too.
One of the latest reports by the EWG concerned the lead that was found in lipsticks and other colored cosmetics. Lead, of course, is a toxic heavy metal. It is hazardous whether it is consumed or absorbed through the skin. With items like lipstick, it is inevitable that both things will happen.
Lead-based house paints have been outlawed for years. Plumbers are no longer allowed to use lead-based solder in drinking water pipelines. But, cosmetic companies are still allowed to use lead-based dyes. It doesn’t make sense.
If you want the best anti aging skin care creams, look for a manufacturer that has signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. Although they were invited to do so, none of the major manufacturers have signed up. Obviously, they don’t care if the items they make are safe or not.
If you want something effective, you’re in luck, the safest anti aging natural skin care products are also the most effective. What could be safer than a nutritional supplement?
One of the most effective ingredients, when applied topically, according to a number of clinical studies, is an antioxidant called coenzyme Q10. In one study, the volunteers had sun damage that included deep wrinkles, sagging and excessive dryness. After three months of using the COQ10 cream, they saw a 30% reduction in wrinkles and nearly a 30% improvement in the skin’s moisture content.
Obviously, if a company wants to make the best anti aging skin care cream, they will include COQ10 as an ingredient. There are many companies that do. It’s just that most of them fail to use the concentration used in clinical trials. So, their customers fail to see the desired results.
Basically, the companies include the ingredient for advertising and marketing purposes. They want to be able to “say” that their products include the ingredient.
You can get an idea of the concentration of a specific ingredient by looking at where it appears on the label of ingredients. Water is often the first ingredient listed, because it is used for mixing and hydrating plant extracts.
If you want the best anti aging skin care creams, you will need to learn to read the label of ingredients, boring as it may seem. In addition to artificial preservatives and added fragrances, there are a number of other ingredients to avoid.
Of course, once you find a manufacturer that provides the most effective and safest ingredients in a solution that is free of artificial preservatives and added fragrances, then you can stop reading labels, as long as you continue to buy the same anti aging natural skin care products and you continue to be happy with them.

How Does the Body Age
March 15, 2010
The body changes with aging. This is a natural process which spares no one. The body ages due to the changes in individual cells and organs. Deteriorations in the cell structures and the organs lead to disorders. In fact some of the times, the organ ceases to function properly. These contribute to the ageing process and affect the body. One then notices changes in the outward appearances and can also feel the difference within.
With age, the functioning of the cells deteriorates. Eventually they start to die and this is a normal process. They die because they get damaged or are not divided normally. Harmful substances in the environment such as sunlight, chemotherapy drugs or radiation lead to damage of the cells. Sometimes certain by-products of the cell’s own normal activities, such as free radicals, also harm them. Many cells due because the programs contained in their genes are triggered. These result in their death. This programmed death is called apoptosis and is a kind of a suicide committed by the cells. The reasons for this cell suicide could be many which include replacement process of the old cells by new ones. This process eliminates excess cells as well.
All cells die because they can divide, themselves, only a limited number of times. A cell grows larger, exists for a while and then dies when it can divide itself no longer. A structure called telomere limits the cell division. These structures are used to move the genetic material of the cell in preparation for cell division. And it shortens a bit every time a cell gets divided.
The function of the cell affects the organs. The older cells do not function that well. In certain organs the dead cells are not replaceable. The number of cells in the ovaries, testes, kidneys and livers decreases markedly as the body ages. An organ ceases to function normally when the number of cells becomes too low.
The decline in the normal functions of an organ, either due to a disorder or aging affects the normal functions of another. For e.g. if the blood vessels are narrowed by atherosclerosis then the blood flow to the kidney decreases. Hence, the kidneys function less well.
All these physical factors coupled an unhealthy lifestyle environmental factors causes the body to age. One can postpone ageing or age in a healthy manner by maintaining mental and physical health, avoiding disorders and remaining active and independent. Maintaining general good health does require more efforts, but it is worth it. Healthy habits such as exercising regularly, following a nutritious diet, and staying mentally active reduce the risk of developing several disorders that commonly occur as the body ages. Development of these habits plays an important part in delaying the body from ageing fast. So the sooner it is developed, the better it is. It is never too late to start. And this will ensure that people can have at least some control over what happens to their body as it ages.

Ten Tips to Keep Wrinkles at Bay
March 15, 2010
It can be said that the appearance of wrinkles is one of the top skin concerns. Every year people spend thousands trying to restore the texture of the skin. Cosmetic surgeries, non surgical techniques, beauty products and a multitude of other methods are used by people to reduce their wrinkles. However, in the case of wrinkles nothing can be more apt than “prevention is better than cure”. So let us take a look at ten tips which keep wrinkles at bay.
1.Do not neglect your daily beauty regime of cleansing and moisturizing. Use creams and lotion which are high on alpha-hydroxy acids. These encourage the growth of collagen which fills in wrinkles. Free radicals are also counteracted by them. Apply your daily quotient of moisturizer. Choose those which also contain sunscreens and are high on SPF. Don’t forget to apply it on your neck and hands. The skin on your neck is extremely sensitive and prone to wrinkles. Hence care should be taken not to neglect this area while moisturizing.
2.You must not neglect exfoliation. The skin should be exfoliated twice a week. This eliminates dry and dead skin cells which help in encouraging the production of healthy new cells. Moisturizer is absorbed better by a smooth and exfoliated skin. This keeps the skin hydrated better which acts as a barrier to the appearance of wrinkles.
3.Once in a while apply a clean milk soaked flannel on your face. Milk contains alpha hydroxyl acids which are enemies of wrinkles.
4.Aloe vera gel is extremely beneficial for upgrading skin tone and quality. It contains malic acid which is a natural deterrent in the appearance of wrinkles.
5.Papayas contain wrinkle fighting enzymes. Therefore, applying slices of papaya on the face will reduce the chances of wrinkles as they etch away the top layer of the skin.
6.An avocado facial is very good for the skin. It supplies the skin with moisture plus vitamin E which curbs wrinkles at early stages.
7.Do not forget to drink up plenty of water everyday. This keeps the body well hydrated which reflects on the skin
8.Try to avoid visits to the tanning salons. Half an hour of these treatments does more harm to the skin than an entire day out in the sun without sunscreens.
9.Try to avoid excessive use of the facial muscles. Subconsciously all of all make lot of “expressive” movements through the face, whether it be frowning or sulking. These repetitive facial movements crease the skin and forms expression lines and this is how the first set of wrinkles appears. Try not to raise your eyebrows too much and refrain from “screwing up” your face as much as possible even if there is something bothering, surprising or irritating you.
When you are angry you’re your best to not “squeeze” your eyebrows together. All this may sound difficult as these are very natural facial gestures and one may not even be aware of these while making it, but still somewhere at the back of your mind you should remember that you have to avoid making too much of an overtly dramatic expression.
10.You must visit your dermatologist from time to time to get advice on keeping the skin beautiful. They can also make a personal routine based on diet, exercise and other factors which will help you in combating wrinkles.
By following these tips, you can rest assured that appearance of wrinkles is a long distance away.

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
March 15, 2010
There are many non surgical skin tightening options. Some, of course, work better than others. Here’s a look at your options and how effective they are.
Fish Oil
If you are not already taking a daily fish oil supplement, you are among the minority. It is one of the best selling dietary supplements on the market. The health benefits to the heart, joints and digestive system have been well studied.
Only one study, to date, has confirmed the benefits to the skin’s health and appearance. In that one, volunteers took a good supplement daily for three months.
The skin’s firmness and elasticity was measured before supplementation began and, again, three months later. On the average, volunteers had a 10% improvement in firmness at the end of the trial.
Will you “see” the results? You might, if you are not already taking a supplement. Take a photo and do your own comparative study.
Protein Peptides
Protein peptides are ingredients found in nourishing creams. Research indicates that they increase collagen production.
Collagen is the major structural protein found in the skin’s elastic fibers. The production of collagen naturally slows down with age.
It is collagen production that fades scars and stretch marks gradually over time. Increasing collagen production may be effective for non surgical skin tightening, because it is also what causes the skin’s layers to tighten up after a weight loss.
Some of the research has been conducted concerning the benefits for faster healing times and reduced scarring. One study showed an improvement in sun-damaged skin. Another showed a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
The effectiveness of the various peptide complexes on the market varies. One that you might want to avoid is argireline. It is advertised as a Botox alternative and a non surgical skin tightening ingredient. The problem is that it has not been tested for safety.
It is supposed to work by relaxing the tiny facial muscles. The FDA says that makes it a drug, rather than a cosmetic ingredient. Drugs must be tested thoroughly before they are released on the market. Loopholes in the law allow cosmetic companies to use ingredients that have not been tested for safety.
Relaxing the facial muscles is only somewhat beneficial, anyway. Even Botox injections are of limited effectiveness.
The peptide complexes that have been proven effective for non surgical skin tightening include CYNERGY TK, RIGIN, HALOXYL and EYELISS. They are all proprietary formulations. In some cases, they are peptide chains combined with antioxidants. All of them are naturally occurring ingredients that would be safe enough to eat.
Antioxidants
Antioxidant-rich creams have been used for non surgical skin tightening for at least a decade. Different ones that have been tried include vitamin C, vitamin A (retinol) and vitamin E.
The latest studies indicate that the most effective is coenzyme Q10. When the molecules are reduced in size to allow for the deepest penetration possible, creams containing COQ10 can stimulate collagen production, reduce wrinkles and repair sun damage.
The best non surgical skin tightening creams contain protein peptides and antioxidants, as well as other beneficial ingredients. You should be able to see the results.

Natural Ingredients in Facial Skin Tightening Lotion
March 14, 2010
With the right lotion skin tightening for face and body is possible. Research has shown that some ingredients are effective when used at a high enough concentration. This article will tell you about which ingredients to look for. You will have to trust that the manufacturer is smart enough to use the right concentration.
Avocado Oil
Many plant-based oils are highly compatible with the skin’s own sebum. So, they are very effective moisturizers. The petroleum-based oils that most cosmetic companies use, including mineral oil and petrolatum, are not moisturizing.
Avocado oil is not only moisturizing. It has the added ability to stimulate collagen production and increase the amount of collagen present in the dermis of the skin.
The oil is used, primarily, in anti-aging night creams. It is a little too heavy to wear under makeup during the day. Grape seed oil is a better choice for daytime moisturizers.
If your skin is dry, it will not look as firm. If it is moist, it will look firm and tight.
Wakame Kelp Extracts
With a wakame kelp lotion skin tightening for face is possible, because nutrients in the kelp inhibit the activity of an enzyme called hyaluronidaise. Hyaluronidaise breaks down the skin’s hyaluronic acid, which is one of the compounds that keep the skin’s cells tightly packed together. Wakame kelp extracts have been shown to inhibit hyaluronidaise activity by 52% at a 5% concentration.
Active Keratin
Keratin is a protein that makes up the skin’s outer layers, but including it in skincare products has been challenging, to say the least. Finally, one company has come up with patented processes that allow keratin to be softened and still remain active. The old procedures broke up the protein strands and turned them into goo.
With the regular use of an active keratin lotion skin tightening for face or body is definitely possible. Volunteers participating in one trial had a 40% improvement in firmness after only 18 days of use. Those are the most impressive results ever seen with a non-invasive treatment.
Coenzyme Q10
The key to improving the skin’s firmness is stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers. The antioxidants coenzyme Q10 has been shown to do that in several clinical trials.
The problem with many antioxidants is that they cannot penetrate through the skin’s layers. The molecules are too large in size.
Normally, COQ10 molecules are too large, but through the use of nanotechnology, it is possible to reduce the size of the molecules, so that they penetrate deep down into the dermis layer, where the collagen fibers are located.
With the use of a COQ10 lotion skin tightening for face and body, wrinkle reduction and sun damage reversal is possible. But, you will need to be sure that the manufacturer uses the smaller particles of COQ10. Otherwise, you won’t see the best results.
Some of the best lotions contain both COQ10 and active keratin. With that type of lotion skin tightening for face and general de-aging is possible, regardless of your skin’s current condition, as long as the manufacturer uses the right concentration.
