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
Anti Aging Natural Skin Care with Wakame Kelp Extract
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
Here’s a look at some of the more effective anti aging natural skin care solutions. There are plenty of “marginally” effective ingredients. The ones covered here are a little better than that. Let’s start with wakame kelp.
Wakame kelp or seaweed is highly nutritious. So it is often used as a component of many health food recipes. The benefits to the skin’s health are several. The first benefit has to do with a compound called hyaluronic acid.
If you have compared any of the ingredients in the anti aging natural skin care products currently on the market, you have probably seen one called hyaluronic acid. It is one of the most popular … Read Full Article
Natural Skincare Creates Firm, Smooth & Beautiful Skin!
Sunday, August 15th, 2010
What you need in order to be successful in firming and smoothing your skin are all natural skincare anti aging products. These are the formulas that will address the issues behind why lines and wrinkle form, and why skin slackening occurs.
The troubling thing is that there is only a small number of anti aging skin care formulas that are truly all natural, and just a handful of these have the ingredients you need.
Most skin care formulas are made up of ingredients very low in quality, and these compounds are more than likely developed through the use of chemicals.
The cosmetics industry is crazy about the use of synthetics as ingredients, … Read Full Article
Natural Skin Care Products are Gaining Popularity
Sunday, June 20th, 2010
Natural skin care products are starting to become more popular according to recent surveys. The traditional versions are still outselling them by a huge margin, but at least people are learning more about reading labels and being picky about what they put on the outside of their bodies.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the Environmental Working Group, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and other consumer groups for letting us know about loopholes that allow US cosmetic manufacturers to put unlimited amounts of chemicals in items that are sold as “health and beauty aids”.
Because there is a lack of federal law concerning the subject, a few states stepped in to … 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
Natural Skin Care – Creating Healthy Skin from the Inside Out
Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
A natural skin care routine can keep your face free of blemishes, healthy looking and wrinkle-free for years to come. The first step is one that you may have overlooked completely. It all starts with eating right.
Doctors have been saying for years that we are what we eat. Some have been laughed at and discredited. But, scientific researchers continue to provide evidence supporting their conclusions.
If you read the news, you may have seen a report a few months back about how tiny molecules called “AGEs” cause wrinkles. AGEs are actually advanced glycation end-products. They form as a result of a chain reaction that can be initiated when we eat simple … Read Full Article
A Natural Wrinkle Cream That Can Reverse Wrinkles
Monday, June 14th, 2010
A natural wrinkle cream was recently shown to reverse wrinkles by 30%. Another has been proven to improve the skin’s elasticity by over 40%. Yet, studies conducted by independent researchers have shown that most creams provide a 10% improvement at best. Why settle for 10% when you can get three or four times that much?
The real question to ask is why cosmetic manufacturers would choose to use compounds that would provide no more than a 10% improvement. Why wouldn’t all companies include the ingredients that provide a 30-40% improvement?
The answer to that question comes down to costs and profits. In order to make more profits, but continue to keep the … Read Full Article
Anti Aging Foods and Anti Aging Skin Care Products
Saturday, June 12th, 2010
Anti aging foods are those that fight free radical damage, keep inflammation to a minimum, keep blood sugar levels stable, support the body’s natural reparative processes and promote methylation. Is there any single food that will do all of those things?
No. It is the combination of nutrients in your diet that makes the difference. In order to ensure that you are getting all of the nutrients you need every day, taking a good multi-nutritional supplement could be a good idea. But, there is nothing that replaces a proper healthy diet.
There are a lot of different opinions about which diets are the healthiest. When you are comparing dietary recommendations, one of … Read Full Article

People Rate Anti Aging Creams in Their Own Way
Thursday, May 20th, 2010
A person with sensitive skin might rate anti aging creams differently than someone without sensitivities. A person with an oilier complexion would likely see fewer results than someone with excessive dryness. Those are just a few of the things that set us apart.
We are all humans and share many things in common. Yet, there are many differences due to things like sex, genetics or lifestyle.
A woman with excessive dryness that starts using a good moisturizer will see a significant improvement in her skin’s appearance very quickly. Excessive dryness is one of the causes of wrinkles and sagging.
When we are young, there is a large amount of moisture in all … Read Full Article
