Stem Cells, making old skin new again

Avatar — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:13:21 +0000

You’ve heard of them and they’ve been debated on for years, stem cells or the body’s super cells that have the ability to turn into just about any type pf cell inside the human body with a few hormones and genes thrown into the mix to make it all work out. Many say the beauty crèmes you get off the shelf for a dollar and the way pricy stuff you get form stores have just the same effects and ingredients, wrong! Well for this one product that is, Amatokin(R) which was developed in a high security lab surrounded by guards that are armed to the teeth with sub-machine guns in some small corner of Russia where they were working on some product to allow the healing and renewal of skin for burn victims (most beauty products have roots in the drive to discover and develop products for burn victims if you’d like to know) when they came upon polypeptide#153 which has rejuvenation effects for skin and promised to be a revolution in the cosmetics industry. Most anti-ageing compounds and products come from research in genetics and stem cells which has benefited millions of women world wide. The research is top secret and you would know why, who doesn’t want ageless skin?

Even the best and most expensive make-up would be useless if you do not have the proper tools to use or apply them with. Even the supermodel Tyra admits that there is little or no difference at all from make-up you buy at the corner store as opposed to the one you get at the more pricy specialty ones if it were not for technique. Invest in good sets of foams, brushes and other specialty applicators to bring out the best of your make-up whatever the brand. Check out the many beauty sites for proper application and techniques that come with each product to maximize their strengths as they complement each other in order to attain your desired look.

Lipids and Youthful looks

Loosing the lipid barrier by washing off with harsh cleansers strips it off the natural protection of your skin making it look dry and looking old. One expert recommends using good old Vaseline, which you simply apply liberally and wipe out along with your make-up. It also makes for good lipstick remover which does not irritate the lips. Simply wipe it off and as an added bonus, it softens your lips especially during cold weather when they are at most risk from chapping and dryness. Using sun block may be your best bet to delay having to reach for that anti-ageing crème. Yes, prevention is better than a pound of care or better yet the high cost of anti-ageing crèmes. Before slathering on your anti-ageing crème, use sun block first for it protects your skin from further damage by the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Just How Much Make-up is enough

Avatar — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 03:37:37 +0000

Many people feel obliged to put on heavy make-up due to age and other signs that manifest on their faces, wrong. The more, the thicker the make-up you have on you, the older you look. Nothing beats your natural skin tone and your face’s shapes and features. Use make-up instead to emphasize the ones that make your face desirable and always remember, the less the younger you look. Ever see those old celebrities who look like Barbie dolls (plastic looking faces), they use heavy make-up to hide stuff they do not want others to see such as stretch marks, scars from face lifts and other cosmetic procedures they have had to go through as the years go by. Remember, make-up only changes the look and not the person so whatever is underneath all that make-up will show (if it doesn’t melt under the hot spotlights first).

Make-Over’s

They are not only the latest rage in reality TV shows, they are also necessary to maintain your look and youthful appearance. Go out on the store once every two years spending time in the cosmetics section to get the ho-down on the latest make-up, techniques and the proper ways to use them. Frequent the ones who have professional make-up artists as sales staff for they are the ones who can give you the best possible combination of products that will work (really, and not just because the product comes from the best and priciest manufacturer). Oily skin, use non-oil based make-up or water-based stuff that won’t add to your already oily face.

Youthful skin – Really

Avatar — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:28:06 +0000

Moisturizers can be the best solution to preventing aged skin. Many fail to realize that the face, like most parts of the body needs the best protection from pollution, irritants and of course the sun’s harmful rays. Try to get at a regimen that would not only work for you but can be used frequently enough without worrying about damaging your skin. When you get home, clean off all your make-up as much as possible. Cleansers will work as long as they are not too harsh that they strip away the natural lipid protection of your skin that makes it look young. Lipids are actually the natural oil barrier your skin should love rather than hate. Not all oil on your face is bad and stripping away too much can leave it drier as sand on the beach on a hot sunny day.

Water – The body’s natural hydrator

Avatar — Mon, 10 May 2010 22:01:08 +0000

The human body has a huge percentage of water which makes up a big percentage of it�s bulk. No wonder that doctors have long prescribed the daily intake of at least 8 glasses a day which makes sense for, we humans as a climate control measure produce sweat. This process takes out excess salt from the bloodstream (which is a natural dehydrating agent) and out to the skin’s surface where as the water evaporates, cools the skins surface. This evaporation cools the blood running through the capillary blood vessels which returns to the heart and lungs cooling the human body from the inside. With global warming causing more heat waves, it would be wise to have a daily intake of more than the said minimum amount. Less water makes the body shrives thus the age and stress marks so a healthy dose of water would be enough to maintain your body, cooler and younger.

More of Nature’s Wonders

Many cosmetics producers and manufacturers have returned to Nature for their beauty care products. True to this, many products of natural origins are on the market and are being used by thousands all over the world. Nutrition also plays a key part in the longevity and youth of the human body which has nutritionists advocating products that are grown ‘ORGANICALLY’, or products that are grown without the use of fertilizers or pesticides made by man. These produce are allowed to grow naturally using natural fertilizer from other plant materials and pest control using bio-friendly organisms such as lady bugs and more who prey on pest species.

The said plants are loaded with unadulterated natural vitamins and minerals as nature makes it without the stimulants and other plant yield boosting products. Pesticides which have a nasty ability to accumulate inside the body’s cells are void thus delaying if not totally preventing the occurrence of free radicals or chemicals within the cells themselves that causes it to age and subsequently die off.

Clothes : Another secret

Everybody knows that you are the way you dress. Dressing-up with clothes that do not highlight your best sides or assets are useless thus a turn off making you the subject of many a fashion critics. Celebrities who maintain comfortable yet respectable looking clothes however normal they may look give a sense of consciousness of the world around them. On the mall shopping, having dinner with family or just about anywhere you may be, dress up in a way that represents you as the true you and not as what the media sees you. And one more thing, even celebs have their dirty little secrets like they have two week hairs under their arms. Under the spotlight or on the shoot of a feature film leaves not much time for hygiene down under the arms.
