3 Causes of Facial Wrinkles and Secrets to How to Prevent Them

The first step to getting smoother skin is learning the main causes of facial wrinkles, so you can prevent wrinkles from appearing as long as possible. Some of the causes have a lot to do with your lifestyle, while others just occur naturally as the human ages.

1. Oxidation Caused by Free Radicals
Free radicals are always present in the body, but there will be more if you often do things like smoke, drink alcohol, eat junk food, drink polluted water or breathe polluted air.

The free radicals cause increased oxidation in the body, which causes aging signs like wrinkles.

2. Reduced Production of Collagen & Elastin
One of the major causes of facial wrinkles is a reduced production of collagen and elastin in the skin that happens naturally as we age. Collagen and elastin are two vital proteins for smooth and firm skin. When the growth gets lower the skin slowly starts to get sagging and wrinkled. Read more…

Anti Wrinkle Formulas – How You Can Create Yours and Spend Just a Little Money Each Time

Whatever you do in this world, there are always the parts that are indispensable and the parts that are expendable, and it does not exactly take a genius to determine that. In that wise, you should realize that treating yourself for the removal of wrinkles from your face and the rest of your body is not always a cut and dried process.And when it comes to anti wrinkle formulas, you could come up with one or two of your own.

Many of the anti-wrinkle treatment procedures that you subject yourself to work with the results that they give because of the right ingredients that are in them. If they should run out, or for some reason the companies producing the anti-wrinkle medications suddenly are unable to put the “right” ingredients, you may suddenly find yourself bereft of the proper medicines to fade out your wrinkles; and then you will be growing old without control, and looking it.

Hyaluronic Acid Works For Anti-Aging

Two factors that are crucial to maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin include dermal hydration and antioxidant protection. As we age, our skin begins to “dry out” due to a decrease in natural oil production and moisture-retention.

The damage caused by the sun’s rays, along with environmental pollution contributes to the development of free radicals. Although our bodies and skin have multiple innate mechanisms to defend against free-radical damage, this process becomes less efficient as we age.

Clinical studies indicate that free radicals contribute to age-related illnesses and to the aging process itself. Antioxidants can play a vital role by helping to reduce, neutralize and eliminate the production of free radicals.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the skin’s most important components for hydration and moisture retention. The nature of HA’s molecular structure makes it ideal for attracting and holding water. Nearly 50% of the body’s HA is found in the dermis, in the spaces between cells (extracellular matrix). HA along with derma tan sulfate, serves to maintain the water balance in the dermis and adds support for other dermal elements like collagen and elastin. Read more…

Collagen Elastin Skin Remedy – Will You Believe Marketing Or Science?

If you’re looking for a collagen elastin skin remedy, you have obviously already done some research regarding what the skin needs to rejuvenate and get healthy. The fact is, many skin care companies market products as collagen elastin skin remedy miracles but few actually deliver. Here’s why.

These proteins can not be absorbed through your skin

A collagen protein molecule is 300 times larger than your surface skin cells. An elastin protein molecule is 600 times larger. So no matter what the label says about collagen or elastin content in any cream, it just is not effective. It cannot be absorbed into your skin.

Supplements don’t work

You can also buy collagen supplements that you ingest orally. Those are effective for some conditions (cartilage rebuilding is one example) but there isn’t a shred of evidence that there is any connection between taking a supplement and increasing the collagen levels in your skin. Read more…

Teeth whitening – How To Look Five Years Younger Instantly!

There is a direct correlation between tooth color and age. Over the years, teeth darken as a result of wear and tear and stain accumulation. Teeth starts to show a yellow cast in our twenties due to the wearing down of the porcelain-like enamel which allows the yellow colour of dentin – the teeth’s core material – to show through. By the forties, the yellow gives way to brown and more maintenance may be called for. By the fifties, the teeth have absorbed a host of stubborn stains which can prove difficult to remove.

Here’s what happens during a teeth whitening session, also known as an in-office whitening treatment. First, a short survey was done to assess my lifestyle and dietary habits, then photos were taken and my teeth polished again to maximize treatment results. Plastic retractors were placed in my mouth to expose my teeth and a gum barrier cream applied to protect them. Whitening gel was applied on my teeth and a blue light placed in front of my mouth to activate the whitening gel. The entire whitening process took three rounds of 20 minutes each with a new application of gel for each round. Read more…

What is Reservatol, and Why Should I Use It?

Reservatol has become increasingly popular in recent months and has proven to produce substantial benefits through testing and customer feedback since it was introduced to the market. The fact of matter is that reservatol has proven to have benefits for cancer prevention and in preventing and treating inflammation, as well as benefiting cardiovascular health. The scope of these benefits is still not completely known where daily use by people is concerned, but there are strong indications of the potential power of this supplement. Initially derived from the seeds and skins of grapes, reservatol is a completely natural and amazing substance.

As a supplement that functions to reverse the effects of aging, reservatol is extremely effective. Shows like Oprah and many other television networks have discussed this miracle product. It has received a lot of praise for its efficacy as an anti-aging supplement. One of Oprah’s guests, who is a doctor, said that a person would need to consume at least twelve bottles of red wine before receiving the same benefit. That feat would be extremely hard to accomplish unless you suffer from acute alcoholism! Luckily, you do not need to consume massive quantities of red wine to achieve these benefits. The media attention that reservatol has received has grown continually, and this supplement is quickly catching on. Also, the media attention it has received has been 100% positive. It has proven to be very effective in retarding the process of aging, and there have been no data to suggest otherwise. The testing on reservatol has been extensive and thorough, and it has been proven to be safe to take. Read more…

Night-Time Skin Care. There’s No Rest for the Weary

It’s an urban myth that skin goes to sleep at night. So let’s FACE THE FACTS.

There are a lot of reasons why skincare products need to be applied at night. In fact, it can be easily argued that nighttime products are more important than daytime, because that’s when the skin repairs itself.

1. During the day, skin is bombarded with wind, makeup, pollution, sweating, and all of this exhausts the cells. Why? Because the sole purpose of skin is to protect our bodies from outside insults and contaminants. So during the daytime, the skin is busy defending itself from these environmental factors. That’s why, during the day, we apply products that strengthen, hydrate and protect with skin with antioxidants (topically and systemically) and UV protectors. At night, it’s ready to get ready for another day. That’s the time when the cells renew themselves and need to be activated with key ingredients like retinol; surface repair agents, such as ceramides; and anti-inflammatory agents, such as botanicals. These all work together to create skin that is brighter, more even-toned, and hydrated.
   So nighttime products are different from daytime products, because the skin’s needs are different.
2. Many active ingredients in skincare products have a relatively short life, and are deactivated by sunlight. So the really important ingredients—the really good stuff—is rendered useless. So by nighttime, there’s no residual value. Products need to be reapplied.
3. During the daytime skincare products are rubbed off, sweated off, washed off, wiped off. Or they’re completely absorbed. Moisturizers last only 3-4 hours. Medical treatments require application 2-3 times every 24 hours. I’m a proponent of saturating the skin with active and powerful ingredients so that it’s nourished throughout the day and night.

Anti-aging? Is it a real possibility?

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to this concept of anti-aging because every time I turn on my computer I see ads for anti-aging x, y, and z products.

Is anti aging possible? Can it be a reality? Do you want it to be real?

You might disagree – but in short – I don’t think so.

Aging is a process that starts when we are born – we get older every day! It’s that plain and simple; then again I am a developmental psychologist and look at forward development; not backward.

Aging is a process, it has a beginning, a middle and an end. My focus in my writings is that giant middle – the part of life when we start to see and feel some of the inevitable declines that happen with age…but where we can still make choices about how well we will live in our own futures.
