Anti Aging Skin Care Lotions
Monday, January 31st, 2011
The results of a new study about anti aging skin care lotions were recently published. The researchers were looking primarily at the UVA protection provided by the products, but there was more to learn from their findings.
The researchers declined to mention the brand names of any of the products they tested. What we do know is that all of them had an SPF rating on the label.
SPF stands for sunburn protection factor. The higher the number, the better, when it comes to preventing a burn, but burns are not all we have to worry about.
The researchers tested products that ranged in price from $1.88 per ounce to $64.71 per … Read Full Article
Hydrolyzed Collagen in Anti Aging Skin Care Products
Monday, January 17th, 2011
Hydrolyzed collagen is an ingredient commonly found in anti-aging facial creams and body lotions. Cosmetic companies continue to include the ingredient and make numerous claims concerning the benefits. Problem is there are no proven benefits.
Collagens are simple proteins made up of only a few amino acids. In the human body, they are classified as “structural” proteins, meaning they are used by the body to create various structures.
The proteins are abundant in young, healthy firm human skin. Along with the protein elastin, they make up the skin’s elastic fibers. It is the elastic fibers that allow the skin to snap back into shape after being stretched out.
The fibers can be … Read Full Article

Over-the-Counter Anti Aging Skin Care Products
Friday, June 18th, 2010
Dermatologists often compare the effectiveness of over-the-counter anti aging skin care products to the effectiveness of Retin-A, the only prescription anti-wrinkle cream. Until recently, there was no comparison.
Nothing worked as well as Retin-A for people who could get beyond the unwanted side effects. Those include redness, itching and irritation. Burning is yet another side effect many people experience. The burning is usually the hardest for people to deal with.
They may be able to deal with a little redness or even some itching, but burning is another issue entirely. It’s painful. The natural reaction is to want to rinse it off as quickly as possible.
No one is sure why Retin-A … Read Full Article
