Be Youthful Now

Every day we are barraged with new skin care lines and products with claims of younger and healthier skin, rejuvenation, age reversing, etc… According to the FDA, “Many of these products claims are entirely unjustified and, in some cases, outright lies.”

So how is one to weed through the junk and scams to find what really works in skin care? Ask the experts. Dermatologists, plastic surgeons and estheticians have all received thousands of hours of training, certifications and licenses on skin techniques and skin care products that work. They are the skin care experts and here is what they recommend and use on both themselves and their patients:

Waterproof sunscreens with a high SPF: Most people don’t think about their sweat and the fact that it will quickly remove and reduce the effectiveness of most sunscreens. Everyone knows that sunscreen is a must as skin cancer is on the rise and is very deadly. But it must also be effective through the day. Sweat, swimming, etc… will remove the sunscreens protection throughout the day. Some skin care moisturizers have sunscreen with high SPF’s already included. Some makeup lines also have started to include SPF protection. However, make sure that you have a high SPF, low SPF’s are not very protective and can still allow sun damage and aging of your skin. Most of the dermatologists said to stick with waterproof sunscreens as they have the highest SPF’s and are proven to be most effective in clinical studies.

Cleansers: Soaps can dry out your skin and cause aging which will exacerbate any sun damage. A good cleanser will thoroughly clean the skin and leave you feeling refreshed. Cetaphil is highly recommended by the experts we interviewed.

Eye creams and treatments: The skin under and around your eyes is quite susceptible to wrinkles, crows feet, and is a very delicate and sensitive area. Some effective skin care products and skin treatments that are very effective for the eye area are made by Hydroderm. Their products moisturize and plump up the area around the eyes and noticeable differences can be seen in just a few days or weeks. Eye creams and treatments are a great addition to any skin care or treatment. Retinoid or retinol creams and lotions: The latest in anti-wrinkle and anti aging skin care products are retinol creams and lotions. Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A and it has been in use by dermatologists for years as a natural anti aging skin care treatment. Instructions vary dependent upon the product and its unique concentration of active ingredients. It is best to refer to the manufacturers instructions and your doctors recommendations if prescribed. Retinol creams and lotions are very effective against color and pigmentation problems and also wrinkles and sun damage. They are very effective and would make a good addition to any skin care treatment or program.

Alpha-hydroxy, beta-hydroxy and TCA acids: A cleanser with these ingredients will freshen your skin, alter your skin pH so it is non-favorable to bacteria and acne, and remove dead and damaged skin. Alpha-hydroxy (glycolic acid) and Beta-hydroxy (salicylic acid) are effective on oily prone skin. TCA is a deeper medium strength acid and is by far the most effective for skin care and treatment.

In a survey of over 1,000 dermatologists and other skin care and treatment experts across the country this is what they recommended if you could only choose 5 skin care products or items.

Anti-Aging Products List

Having an idea of the products offered and the products details can help you make a decision on choice of anti-aging products for your skin type.

Botox

Botox is one of the leading anti-aging products, yet you visit a surgeon or dermatologist and endure injections. This anti-aging product works according to few up to four or five months and another series of injections is required for the anti-aging product to continue working. The pricing is around $250 or $600 depending on the expert.

Botox injections apparently used toxins, which have linked to food poisoning, thus the injections are illegal around the eye area, which is the common concern of most people searching for anti-aging products.

Other processes under dermatologist care are available. Some anti-aging products for reducing aging signs include sanding the face area, removing dead cells and purifying the face. Few people found deals and only paid $200 to look darn good after the procedure.

Victoria Principle and Garden Botanika

Victoria Principle and Garden Botanika products are few of the cheaper skincare anti-aging solutions available. Few people received good results from using the anti-aging products, thus considering the products over the pricey anti-aging products might be in your best interest.

Ponds

Ponds are a common known name brand of skincare lines. The Ponds Dramatic Results according to few gave excellent results, and the lotions assisted in evening the tone of skin, moisturizing the skin and reducing wrinkles.

The downside is no sun block is available or SPF solution. The anti-aging product cost around $15 and gave excellent results; therefore, it might be worth looking into.

Ponds Night Rejuvenating Creams

Ponds Night Rejuvenating Creams gave satisfactory results for one person, who claimed the anti-aging product worked as it claimed. The person paid $6.99 for the cream but discovered if you forget to use it, the moisture reduces in the skin, taking longer to restore.

The person was treated by her dermatologist and now is using Vanicream. Lastly, another person used one of Ponds product and received adverse results. Therefore, before considering products learn your skin type and study the ingredients carefully.

Visifirm

Visifirm costs around $90 and gave excellent results for one person. According to the user of the anti-aging product, in ten minutes you can look 10-years younger.

The serum causes slight chills when first applied, however the anti-aging product did as the label claimed it would do, and that is smoothing the wrinkles, while providing short-term relief of aging, lasting throughout the day.

One reviewer claimed that after using the product for a few months her friends are asking if she had plastic surgery. The product might be worth a shot if you can afford the extra cash.

Comparison Of Visifirm To Botox

* Visifirm works to block ‘neuro-transmitters” which is responsible for contracting the muscles. Botox’s function is to perform the same action.

* Visifirm claims the product works in a few minutes, while Botox injections can take a couple of days before results are visible.

* Unlike Visifirm, Botox cannot be injected around the eye area, since it is not FDA approved. Thus, removing wrinkles, lines and crowfeet from the eyes is out of the question if considering Botox.

* Furthermore, Botox has not been clinically proven, while Visifirm has no long or short-term effects from its usage.

* Botox injections can cost up to $600 while Visifirm costs around $100 after shipping and handling.

* Botox injections can lead to sensitivity of the skin, which includes bruising and headaches at the first session, while the Visifirm has no harmful side affects according to its sellers.

We all age naturally, but we can control how fast we age and how we look.  Maybe you don’t worry about how you look until you begin to see the aging in your face, hair or body.  Can you use some anti aging tips?

Are you seeing signs of aging?   Maybe your neck becomes creepy, or the hair turns gray. Do you have crow’s feet around your eyes, or wrinkles around your face?  Maybe you have age spots and dry, dull, rough skin.

Whatever the issue happens to be, you can take comfort that you can fight many of these common aging issues by using some of the new anti aging products that have come to light in the past 10 years.

If you would like to combat wrinkles around your eyes, there are many different topical eye creams that can be applied to the eye area, twice a day, to help improve the appearance of your skin.  A good quality eye cream can help shave years off of your appearance.

If you use a home made exfoliating cream, you will want to protect the new exposed skin by using a moisturizer.  In addition, you want to use a sun block of 40+ to prevent the new skin from drying out or sun burning.

Omega-3 and omega-6, which you find in olive oil and fish oil, can make your skin look more radiant and smoother.  You are probably deficient in omega-3 because most people are.  Therefore, eat fish once a week and take 1000 mg of fish oil everyday.

Here’s how to use Omega-3.  You should always use it with omega-6.  Use around 2-3 parts more Omega-6 to Omega-3.  You can buy capsules that have both essential oils.  When you prepare your salad put two – three tablespoons of Omega-6, olive oil, to one tablespoon of flax seed oil, Omega-3.  When you take fish oil capsules use 1000 mg per day.

Now, another thing, do you see any gray in hair?  Some people start to gray very young.  If this is you, then start using the B-100 vitamin complex.  This will have PABA which helps to reduce premature graying.  Us the B-100’s only during a meal, unless you want an upset stomach.  If you want to dye your hair, use a natural dye, like Antic Herbavita Brand.

When you use skin or hair products, makes sure you use natural products.  If cannot eat, the products you are using, then you should not put them on your skin or hair.  Any chemical you put on your skin will be absorbed and sucked into your blood stream.  If the product you are using is un-natural, the liver will see this as a toxin.  Putting toxins into your blood from bad products, will overwork the liver.  A good functioning liver is necessary for a youthful looking body and a long life.

MSM, methyl sulphonyl methane, is another product that you should use daily.  This product will keep your skin flexible and smooth.  It is used by every cell in your body and keeps your cells permeable so that nutrients can go into your cells and toxins can come out.  MSM is considered a major anti aging product.  Use creams that have it and take 2000 mg tablets or capsules every day.

We all age but we age faster when we use the wrong products on our skin and scalp.  We all age faster when we eat the wrong diet and follow a detrimental lifestyle.  Live a clean life, eat a healthy diet and use the anti aging tips mentioned here and you will live a long, nice, young, looking life.
