As you age your skin starts to lose elasticity, and sadly, skin elasticity is one of the most important factors in good skin care. For this reason so many people search for answers like pills to put elasticity back in skin, like collagen pills. Do these ways of increasing skin elasticity work and is there any alternative? Why not examine what skin elasticity is and what your options are to improve it as you age. If you’re interested in skin care chances are you’ve heard of elastin and collagen, 2 skin and body proteins essential for good looking skin. These help keep your skin firm but supple and both these characteristics are important for wrinkle free skin. But gradually with age your skin loses some of it’s elastin and collagen and so loses this suppleness and elasticity and this isn’t good for keeping wrinkles away. (Oh and if you’re interested in great looking skin sunburn and smoking should also be avoided). As your skin loses elasticity it starts to say, it doesn’t pull into place like it did when you were younger. So science has been trying to come up with answers to increasing skin elasticity by increasing collagen and elastin in our skin. Youve probably seen many anti aging skin care products containing collagen and elastin on the shelves. Its quite common now to see this. Unfortunately though, this doesn’t replenish the stores of collagen and elastin in your skin. Why? Because the molecules of collagen and elastin are too large to enter the skin. This has been known for some time. So why would these skin care companies put them in the bottles? Because they know that the people who buy skin care products want to see them in the bottles, because then they buy them believing that they are increasing skin elasticity through increasing these proteins. And there is also no evidence that taking vitamins for skin elasticity or other pills to put elasticity back in skin do anything at all. But we have some very dedicated scientists and they have found an answer to increasing skin elasticity. They have found a way to stimulate the skin to produce more of it’s own collagen and elastin. Very smart. And you can now get skin care products that contain a patented new ingredient called Cynergy TK. Trials in the use of these products have shown quite quick visible results. Sadly, Cynergy TK is very expensive, and so isn’t found in most skin care products. Most of the big brands spend the majority of their budget on advertising, and not so much on product quality. But not all companies are like this. One small niche skin care company has decided not to advertise but to spend on product quality instead, and they make superb products that do include Cynergy TK. So increasing skin elasticity is quite possible, and is being done by many women right now, though not through collagen supplements or creams containing collagen and elastin, but by using a breakthough product that actually stimulates the skin to grow more of its own.

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Can Eating A Low Fat, High Protein Diet Help Me Prevent Bruising Easily?
Monday, February 15th, 2010| Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles |
If you glance down and discover bruises that you can’t explain, or if you’ve noticed spectacular bruises that have come from extremely slight bumps, it’s time to determine if your diet is having an effect on your bruising susceptibility. Easy bruising can be a symptom of many varied conditions, but you should first evaluate the food that you eat. To the best of my knowledge (and I’ve done my research) a bruise free diet doesn’t exist, but by educating yourself about the foods that you put into your body, you just might be able to determine what in your diet might help you stop your bruising easily. First, if you follow a diet that is low in fat and high in protein you will be assured that you are getting plenty of iron. By following a diet that is high in iron, you will be able to pretty much eliminate anemia as a cause of your easy bruising. Anemia can be a prime cause for some spectacular bruising, but if you are getting sufficient quantities of iron from your diet, anemia can cease to be a concern. Foods like liver, which contains an impressive amount of iron as well as protein, can be great additions to your diet. If you soak the liver in milk before cooking it will help get rid of the bile taste that is offensive to so many people, and if you then pair it with onions and rice, it can make a tasty and healthy meal. Keep in mind that a low fat, high protein diet provides you with increased energy levels. Extra energy to help you get through the day is great, but there is the added benefit of enhanced circulation and for the health of your heart as well. Do you still have energy at the end of the day to do things like exercise and take good physical care of yourself? Sufficient energy levels will guide you through the day, and leave you with enough energy to handle your own physical needs while keeping you feeling great. This type of diet can be a significant contributor to better physical health and wellness. If your changing to a high protein, low fat diet amounts to an extreme change, give strong consideration to having a discussion with your doctor prior to changing. To some people, following a diet like the one described may amount to a significant change, which will take a while for you to become accustomed. While discussing your diet change with your doctor, it’s a perfect time to bring up your easy bruising. In most instances, easy bruising is just a sign of aging or diet deficiencies, but you should always do what you can to be safe rather than sorry, especially when you are evaluating your long term health needs. Think about how your diet is affecting your body and what the physical signs might be. Are you someone who bruises easily, and if so, what can you do to fend that off? Where are you going to be when it comes to learning how to get rid of the bruises that you are dealing with and how does your diet affect that? Consider what easy bruising might mean and how a change in diet can affect that. Although you may follow a very strict diet, you should consider the benefits of following an all natural, daily supplement program like Bruises Be Banned which has been proved to be very beneficial to helping you prevent bruising altogether. Carolyn Cooper is recognized as a renowned expert on bruise treatment through a combination of her educational experience in nutrition and her real life expertise with natural supplements for athletes, ranging from kids to the pro ranks.

Strategies for Treating Acne
Monday, February 15th, 2010| Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles |
Most people with acne try to treat their blotchy skin with astringent creams, fruit washes, natural soaps, lotions and treatments. However, the best way to treat acne is by altering your diet and shunning acne-producing things like fried food. A healthy diet, comprising organic unprocessed foods like vegetables, fruits, grains and beans is the first recommendation for treating acne. Foods containing trans-fatty acids, milk, milk products, margarine, shortening and man-made hydrogenated vegetable oils, as well as fried foods, should be avoided. It seems that the high occurrence of acne in the United States is caused by the typical American diet. Americans typically eat fried food in great quantities, usually cooked in the most harmful of fats and oils. However, not all fats are bad for you, but the fats and oils that the typical American eats make them more prone to develop acne and other skin problems. Products that can cause are ice cream, cheese, bacon, chocolate and milk. Furthermore, acne can’t actually be treated using external skin creams and expensive soaps because the basic cause of the condition is beneath the skin. Pimples, spots or zits and blemishes are caused by bacteria and other irritants lying below the skin’s oil glands and hair follicles, which are usually produced by improper hygiene, scratching or squeezing and poor diet. This poor diet could be a result of too high an amount of such items as processed, fatty, fried and sugary foods in your diet. A diet that is healthy for your skin emphasizes raw and lightly cooked vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables that contain valuable trace minerals and are rich in fibre. Fresh green vegetables are essential. You should also include in your diet lean protein sources and complex carbohydrates, like rice, whole-grain bread and potatoes. Such fibre-rich foods can help ensure a healthy gastrointestinal tract, which is especially important in the control of acne. You ought to have three healthy meals daily in order to supply you with sufficient vital nutrients and lower your desire for sugary or/and fatty, fried food. You should eat more foods that are rich in vitamin A, like apricots, watermelons, and broccoli, as well as lean beef, lentils, nuts, beans and whole grains, because they are rich in zinc, which can also be useful in treating acne breakouts. It’s also important to drink plenty of water to help flush the toxins out that contribute to acne. Are you having trouble treating acne?

Functional Keratin And Skin Care Explained.
Saturday, February 13th, 2010| Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles |
If you’ve spent any time reading about skin health and skin care you’ll start reading about keratin pretty soon. What is it? Keratin is found right throughout our bodies. It is a protein that is extremely strong and it can be found in the hard areas of our bodies like our nails and also in the softer areas of our bodies, like skin. A lot of keratin is found in our nails, teeth, hair and skin. In our skin keratin is produced by keratinocytes, a type of skin cell in the epidermis, and this keratin has a role in keeping our skin in good health. As keratin cells come to the surface they die, and form a protective layer on the surface. And these dead cells are shed all the time as dead skin cells. Keratin has some vital roles in maintaining the function of our skin. It produces some waterproofing qualities, for example. But the main function of keratin in our skin is to promote skin strength and elasticity. Our skin needs these qualities and as it ages it starts to lose some keratin and so lose some strength and elasticity. So you would be accurate in assuming that if you use skin care products with keratin in them you are restoring your stores of skin keratin and thereby improving your skin strength and elasticity right? Wrong. You see the keratin that is used in mainstream skin care products is extracted from the horns and hooves of animals and is extracted using acid and heat. This results in the keratin being denaturalized by a process called hydrolization. Denaturalized simply means that its no longer of use to your skin because its form has been changed. So if that’s keratin what does functional keratin mean? Functional keratin is keratin that is not changed or denaturalized by the process of extracting it, and is still of use to the skin. It is produced without heat or acid from the wool of sheep. Making functional keratin has been perfected only recently by one small company that has now patented the process, and this company has created a product called Cynergy TK that contains this functional keratin. Cynergy TK is now an primary ingredient in the worlds best skin care products. There have been studies done on the effectiveness of products that include Cynergy TK and the results have been impressive with visible reductions in wrinkles and fine lines, and a improvement in overall skin complexion. Cynergy TK is expensive, and so the big brand name skin care products don’t use it. But it is possible to get skin care products that contain Cynergy TK, and they aren’t more expensive than other skin care products. Why? Because the big brands spend their budget on advertising, whereas the small niche company spends it’s budget on product quality. The price of big brand skincare products has to reflect the cost of the advertising. So now you know more about keratin and what it does in the skin, and about what funtional keratin is.

Looking For The Best Moisturizer?
Friday, February 12th, 2010| Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles |
Moisturizing is an essential part of great skin care. No doubt. There is natural moisture and oils in your skin and retaining your skin moisture is important to protect your skin. Skin that is well moisturized will retain it’s own moisture levels better and it is better protected, thereby ensuring that it is more healthy. So surely it makes sense to find the best moisturizer and to use it daily. No, not exactly. Lets consider what you want to achieve from moisturizing your skin. For the vast majority of women moisturizing is undertaken to make the skin function better as part of an overall attempt to improve the skin. Moisturizing is seen as a step in the overall skin care regime that will, hopefully, make better looking younger looking wrinkle free skin. As a result of the fact that women will buy moisturizers to make their skin healthier and look better the skin care companies will make moisturizers for those women to buy. That makes sense. But the women who buy the best moisturizer they can find are seeking to achieve great looking healthy skin. And moisturizing is important to do this, but there’s more to it than just moisturizing. What I’m driving at is this. If you use products that improve the overall health of your skin then your skin should be healthier, and therefore better moisturized. Healthy skin is automatically better moisturized. If you use the right skin care products that improve your skin health then it will become better moisturized skin without any need to seek out the best moisturizer. There is one company (the skin care company that makes the best skin care products you can get) that recognizes this. For this exact reason it doesn’t offer a moisturizer in it’s skin care line. Because it’s products make your skin healthier, and it’s therefore well moisturized skin. Their products moisturize better than any others, because they work so well to promote healthy skin function overall. Healthy skin is always well moisturized skin. Improve skin health and you improve moisture levels automatically. And that’s what you’re looking for isn’t it? So it makes sense to assume that these products are hugely expensive, but they aren’t. The big anti aging skin care companies advertise on TV and this costs big dollars, all of which have to be recovered from the price of the products. So look on the shelves and those skin care products are expensive. But the company that makes the best skin care products DOESN’T ADVERTISE. So whilst you may not have heard of it right now, when you do, (as you should) you’ll find their products very price competitive to the big brands. They put their budget into product quality.So hopefully you can see what were getting at here. If you want to moisturize chances are that you’re really trying to produce well moisturized, healthy, good looking wrinkle free skin. And just looking for the best moisturiser wont produce that. Don’t bother watching the ads on TV to find this small company though. If you want to find them visit my website.

The Many Ways to Tan
Sunday, February 7th, 2010| Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles |
In a culture that believes a tan is more attractive than pasty white, many products have been released into the market to satisfy the people’s need to color their skin. Naturally tanning is not longer the only method to add a little color. Each has its benefit such as the relatively long duration of a natural tan versus the short lived fake-bake tan resulting from the application of the bronzer. When it comes to sun bathing or using a tanning bed to produce a tan, it is important that the tanner is aware of the risks and safety rules. The benefit of attaining a real tan is that the effects are longer lasting and the skin becomes less susceptible to sun burn because of the increased melanin count. For anyone who chooses to attempt a natural tan there are accelerators that can help speed up the process. These indoor tanning lotions are very good at moisturizing the skin and it is the additional moisture in the skin that makes it better at absorbing UV rays. One of the safest ways to produce a little color on the skin is with a DHA based product. Tanning lotions or sprays that use DHA do nothing to alter any biological effects of the body which is why it is safer than other methods of sunless tanning. The dead skin cell is simply stained with the chemical and since the dead skin sheds regularly, the tan comes off naturally with time. A bronzer is similar to fake tanning lotions but instead of using DHA to change the color of dead skin cells, this product simply adds the color on top of the skin. Much like makeup, bronzers can be washed off at the end of the day. However a person chooses to tan their skin it is always important that the consumer is aware of all the risks involved with each method. Following instructions on labels is only the first part of being safe. Tanning lotions and other products tend to react differently on different skin so test and be caution with anything new. Visit the Indoor Tanning Lotion website to learn where to find cheap tanning lotions and for tanning lotion advice in general. |
The Real Secret To Home Remedies For Dry Skin
Saturday, February 6th, 2010| Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles |
Are you using a facial moisturizer? Why? Well for many of us, it’s to maintain your skin hydrated, soft, and plump. Now a days, some companies claim that their particular moisturizer may also eliminate fine lines in addition to creases nonetheless; most of these statements are typically somewhat deceptive and are usually based on the fact people believe there is an association among dry skin and wrinkles. Even though retaining the skin moisture might make fine lines less apparent, it’ll not prevent the aging process from taking its toll on the skin. For that you have to generate collagen like while using Derma Roller or copper peptide and retinol creams. The main reason to use a moisturizer is to feed and nourish your skin, keep it soft and supple and prevent dry skin conditions from progressing - like eczema, psoriasis or worse an infected skin rash. Face moisturizers could make the skin look much better and much healthier - which is why it’s crucial that you use one particularly formulated for your skin type. It’s crucial that you be proactive so you’ll have much healthier skin later. The most important step when selecting a moisturizer is make sure it is pH balanced. The pH number of any skin product measures the acidic or alkaline content of the product. Regular healthy skin is usually within the range of 4.2 to 6.5 and a good facial moisturizer must also be within this range. At this level, the acid mantle - which is a technical name for the skin’s protective barrier surface is in good condition and is able to guard the skin from dehydration and other harmful elements of the environment like wind, sun or bacteria. A pH below 7 is considered more acidic and above 7 is more alkaline. Next you should try to make sure your moisturizer is organic — even better is finding one that is also botanical and homeopathic. It should offer a exclusive trans derma deliver process so that it can sink into and hydrate much more deeply than normal moisturizers. The most effective organic moisturizer must also include plant essences and unrefined, chemical free botanical extracts. In addition it should also be non-comodogenic (won’t clog pores), extremely hydrating, longer lasting, and ideal for acne breakouts, rosacea as well as other trouble sensitive skin. Therefore whenever choosing a faical moisturizer, becareful and read the ingredients carefully. Although some moisturizers claim to be natural or organic, they still contain chemicals that over time damage and age the skin. A few also contain fillers and inexpensive oils that seem to hydrate in the beginning, usually leave your skin feeling tight and flaky some time later.

Why You Should Consider Using A Natural Skin Care Cream.
Saturday, February 6th, 2010| Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles |
Natural skin care creams. Are there good reasons to consider using a natural skin care cream, and what exactly does “natural” mean anyway? What does natural mean when it applies to skin care? Good question, and one with no formal answer. You see although there are many natural skin care products on the market there is no one formal definition of what they are. What is the difference between a natural skin care product, a botanical skin care product, an organic skin care product and a herbal skin care product? Is there any difference? Whilst there is no formal definition that doesn’t mean that it is meaningless. It just means that the industry has no real way of establishing clearly what is natural and what is not. So I tend to use my own definition when asked this question. But to formulate your own definition I need to first consider why people would want to use a natural skin care product. Why would they buy these over “ordinary” mainstream skin care products? There’s a simple answer. Most of the big name skin care products that you see on the shelves have one or more, often many, synthetic chemicals that some scientist somewhere has found performs a function. Some of them are found no where in nature. And that’s often because these synthetic chemical products are cheap to manufacture. Lets take Parabens. A class of chemicals used as a preservative. They are very cheap to manufacture and are used extensively in many products. But some scientists consider that there is a risk of cancer from long term use of Parabens. There are many chemical ingredients (and petrochemical ingredients) used in skin care products that are considered potentially dangerous. That’s the reason why so many people are now turning to “natural” skin care products. So if people are turning to natural, or organic, or botanical, or herbal skin care product, its usually because they are worried about the chemicals found in mainstream skin care products, and the risks they may pose to their health. So considering this I can formulate a definition. A natural skin care product is one composed only of ingredients found naturally and which are known to be safe for human use. And there’s more. Natural skin care products should work as well or much better than mainstream skin care products. (That’s often not that hard as many mainstream skin care products don’t work very well.) It’s surprising but the best natural skin care products often work way better than the mainstream products. So despite the fact that there is no formal definition of what a natural skin care cream is there are still powerful reasons to use one, and that’s why natural skin care is one of the fastest growing segments of the market. They’re safe to use and they work better than the mainstream big brand skin care ranges. And amongst natural skin care brands there’s one brand that stands out head and shoulders above the rest.
