Monday, October 25th, 2010
Omega-3 fatty acids are nutrients that can tighten skin according to a recent study. If you want to see the best results, I recommend you address the problem from the inside out and from the outside in.
The inside out has to do with the foods that you eat and possibly the supplements that you take. Omega-3 fish oil was used in the study above. A popular dermatologist has suggested that eating salmon every day could do the same thing, but that could get expensive.
Atlantic salmon is affordable, but it is known to contain relatively high levels of PCBs, an environmental pollutant that causes cancer and birth defects. Wild Pacific Salmon … Read Full Article

Over the Counter Wrinkle Remedies – Sorting Through the Latest Fads
Monday, July 12th, 2010
Over the counter wrinkle remedies may contain a number of ingredients or only one. Hyaluronic acid has become a popular choice for creams and lotions, but doctors say that it does nothing when applied topically. The reason for its inclusion in cosmetics has nothing to do with its effectiveness.
Hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin and an assortment of synthetic fillers will stretch out wrinkles when they are injected into the deepest of the skin’s layers. The injections are widely advertised. They have different brand names. You have probably heard some of them.

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

Who Makes the Strongest Wrinkle Cream?
Saturday, May 22nd, 2010
Who makes the strongest wrinkle cream?
That’s a subject of some debate, if you are speaking in terms of effectiveness.
A dermatologist would likely suggest trans-retinoic acid, aka Retin-A, which is now made by many companies.
A natural health expert would recommend against the use of that product, because it is a synthetic form of vitamin A.
Any health expert might recommend against it, because vitamin A is toxic in large doses. It would never be recommended for someone with sensitive skin, because it causes redness, itching and irritation.
One of the ways that wrinkles can be repaired is to induce minor damage. Lasers are used during in-office treatments and acidic creams … Read Full Article

What is Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10?
Saturday, April 24th, 2010Many consumers work hard at staying current and informed about cosmetic breakthroughs. If you are one of them, you probably have heard about Coenzyme Q10.
Coenzyme Q10 is a substance very similar to a vitamin which is an intrinsic part of every cell in our bodies. It is found in greater quantities in the mitochondria (a membrane enclosed organelle that generates the energy necessary for the cell to stay alive).
