lady363 » 29 June 2009 » In Skin Care » No Comments

Not only are working women pressed for time, juggling between domestic chores and work schedules; they usually find it difficult to squeeze in the time for indulging themselves in a well deserved skin care regimen. Therefore, a quick, effective program is the key for women who either pressed for time or are working.

Skin care know-how, prevention and maintenance is all that is required in order to maintain healthy skin. In fact, working women need to take extra care since they are subjected to environmental stress, hormonal changes, and harmful UV rays.

A basic cleanse, hydrate and treat should be the watch-phrase of all working women…its quick simple and effective. Here are some tips and ideas to keep in mind.

Sun Protection Factor

Application of a broad spectrum sun block is vital in order to protect from the harmful UV rays which is the prime cause of premature aging and skin cancer. UV rays break down the skin collagen and the skin loses its elasticity and the ability to renew itself.

A quality SPF product is therefore imperative for working women. Many products now contain or have formulations with SPF15 or above to help protect.

Antioxidants skin care products

There is a wide range of antioxidants skin care products that come packed with an array of antioxidants like ALA, CQ 10, grape seed extract, Vitamin C, Vitamin E etc.

Antioxidants play the role of combating free radicals created by natural oxidization and prevent premature aging. In fact, antioxidants like Vitamin C promote new collagen production and impart a more youthful and radiant complexion. However, a stabilized form of Vitamin C is required for optimum results.

Balanced Diet

A balanced and a healthy diet is a must for working women in order to keep their skins in good condition as certain deficiencies will start to have adverse effects on the skins appearance. It is also a good idea to lap up on supplements and antioxidants to keep the skin mechanism at its peak and help fortify its defenses.

A good skin care regimen

Invest in quality and reliable natural skin care which are validated by good testimonials and backed by quality research. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing here become key to a good natural skin care ritual.

Also, exfoliation helps to get rid of unwanted dead cells and also helps your skin care products work faster and better. Moreover, weekly or biweekly exfoliation also ensures a radiant and fresh complexion.

A monthly or bimonthly face massage on weekends is also not a bad idea since your skin needs all the pampering after a week of environmental onslaught. Consider this as a deep cleansing for your skin and opt for a skin care treatment that is best suited for your skin type.

Additionally, periodic use of a good wrinkle cream can help to infuse hydration and replace the moisture lost as we age. Effective wrinkle creams often contain Argireline which acts to relax skin tissue and eliminate or reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

Hyaluronic Acid is now becoming popular because it infuse hydration directly into the skin adding a “plumping” property. It has become popular as an active ingredient in lip products – lip plumpers – and is used effectively in anti-aging skin care products generally.

At the end of the day (literally), the best advice is to properly clean and remove make-up and oils. Make-up and oil accumulation can trap and promote dirt and bacteria. Cleansing is the first step to softer, cleaner, and healthy skin.

If possible, applying a moisturizing cream helps hydrate – the common criminal in aging skin and wrinkle formation. Adequate water consumption will help, but a good nightly moisturizer that does not clog pores will invigorate and moisturize.

Finally, treatments for targeted skin care should be applied to remove or cleanse acne, wrinkles, blemishes, dark circles or fine lines. Many skin care products are formulated to also moisturize and cleanse. So, the best tips for working women are to take a few minutes to cleanse, moisturize and treat for healthy, younger looking skin.

How Black Skin Care Products Work

lady363 » 29 June 2009 » In Skin Care » No Comments

 

How black skin care products work should be no mystery.  African american or black skin is really no different than white, tan or any other tone.  When it comes right down to basic facts: skin is skin.  Only with few possibly ethnic differences, all skin tones have the same skin problems. Let’s look at the ingredients that work and the ones to avoid.

Three Skin Care Ingredients to AVOID

1. Any Paraben (esp. sodium methyl paraben)

2. Any Petroleum Based Product

3. Chemical Bleaching Compounds

1. Parabens are mainly used in skin care products as a preservative.  They are unnecessary and potentially harmful.  Parabens have been found in patients that have breast cancer.  Sodium methyl paraben can cause skin depigmenting. To be safe avoid all words ending in paraben.  Read the label.

2. Petrolatum (petroleum jelly) is not skin friendly as it is often promoted.  It clogs the pores of the skin. Also it can result in hyper pigmentation of skin. Other related ingredients to strictly avoid are propylene glycol, wood-based alcohols, mineral oil and any petroleum-based product.  There are other safe ingredients you can use.  Keep reading.

3. Chemical bleaching compounds are dangerous.  They are sold to lighten skin but can do great harm. There are effective, safe ingredients that will lighten skin.  I’m coming to that in a moment.

Safe Skin Care Ingredients for ALL Skin

*Extra Pone Nut Grass

*Vitamin E (Must be natural vitamin E)

Extra Pone Nut Grass is a very safe and effective ingredient for lightening skin tones.  The nice thing about this ingredient is that it takes just a small amount to work.  Much better and safer than some chemical bleach.

Vitamin E (Natural) is a good antioxidant that battles free radicals that cause skin cell damage.  Vitamin E works well with hyper pigmentation of the skin otherwise known as skin spots.

Sebum – The Natural Moisturizer

Sebum is our skin oil that also is our skin moisturizer.  However, some of us have either too dry skin or too oily or some range in between.  So skin problems can vary from one person to the next. But skin problems in general have nothing to do with black skin or any other tone.  Skin is skin.  What the problem usually is, is the product being used on the skin.  Especially if it is petroleum based.  Petrolatum feels good but it can do a lot of subtle harm.  If you use a good moisturizer, like the one I use, you will have 90% of your skin problems solved.

Sebum comes from the sebaceous glands.  All skin regardless of the tone have sebaceous glands.  Some just produce differently in some individuals.  Sebum is the natural moisturizer for our skin.  Using alcohol on the skin can cause it to produce too much, resulting in oily skin.  Jojoba and passion fruit extract are two ingredients you will want  to include in your skin care regimen if you have dry skin.

Anti-aging Skin Care Ingredients

There are many anti aging skin care products on the market today that make false promises.  Many are just out to make a quick buck caring little about what it does to your skin appearance.  Remember this fact,  For African American Skin you DON’T need special ingredients to fight aging skin.  Let me tell you what you should do and what you need to get.

Be glad that you read this far.  Those that didn’t won’t know what you’re about to find out.

In my vast searching for some skin care products that really work I found one that I am ecstatic about.  The reason is that it is safe and it works on all skin types and skin tones.  It is called “Functional Keratin”.  When mixed with Wakame Seaweed (Japanese) CoQ10 and Vitamin E it produces new skin cells and fibers.  This results in a younger looking skin because of the skin firmness that is taking place. See my website for more information on this truly amazing skin care ingredient.

Free radicals are the culprit behind most skin care damage.  Antioxidants like natural vitamin E will help fight off these free radical rebels.  In conclusion, please avoid all paraben ingredients, petroleum based ingredients and chemical bleaching methods. Use the ingredients I mentioned in this article and visit my website listed below for more details.  Thanks, Margaret Bell.

Aging Gracefully: Skin Care in Your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, and Beyond

lady363 » 29 June 2009 » In Skin Care » No Comments

How to keep your skin looking great!

Invest some time and care!

Everyone wants to have younger looking skin. Unfortunately, even the most expensive skin care products, with all their claims of ‘reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles’, can’t turn back the years. However, don’t despair! There are steps that we can all take to make sure our skin looks healthy and vibrant and stays wrinkle-free for longer. All we’ve got to do is invest some time and care in looking after it.

It is important to understand the basic function of our skin in order to look after it properly. The skin is our body’s largest organ and comprises three major layers:

The Epidermis: This layer has five sub-layers; the outer layer consists of mainly dead cells which are continuously shed and replaced by cells beneath. The epidermis is also responsible for ‘water proofing’ your skin, protecting your skin from potential invasion of microbes and generate new skin cells which move from the deep layer of the epidermis to the outer layer, where they are eventually shed.

The Dermis: Is the ‘middle layer of the skin and is composed of connective tissue containing collagen and elastin. The dermis is thick in the palms and soles and very thin in the eyelids. It contains blood vessels, nerves, glands, and hair follicles.

The Subcutaneous layer: This layer consists of areolar and adipose tissue. Fibres from the dermis extend down into the subcutaneous layer and anchor the skin to it. The subcutaneous layer, in turn, attaches to underlying tissues and organs.

Aging of the skin

There are several factors influencing how quickly our skin ages, ranging from genetic factors, your natural skin type, as well as external factors such as exposure to sunlight, environmental factors and whether you smoke or not. In general, pale skins wrinkle faster than darker skins, which are protected by increased amounts of pigment and lipids.

Another vital factor is, of course, our age. Our skin looks and functions very differently at 20 as opposed to when we are 60.

Below is a skin care plan of how to look after your skin as the decades go by and how to adapt your skin care regime accordingly.

Looking after your skin in your 20s

Your 20s is a great time for your skin. You’ve left behind the adolescence acne and your skin has a radiant, youthful glow and the epidermis is well toned.

However, this is not the time to be complacent. In your 20s skin cell renewal drops by up to 28 per cent, dead skin cells are not as easily shed and external factors are starting to have a greater impact, leaving your skin slightly duller.

According to dermatologists, 80 per cent of all aging can be directly related to exposure to sunlight. Therefore, it is a good idea to avoid the mid-day sun, or if you have to be out in the heat of the day (especially in countries like Australia), than cover up. Penetrating UVA rays will start to damage collagen fibres and elastin coils in your skin.

Smoking one factor you can control and now would be a good time to quite. Smoking inhibits oxygen getting to the outer layer of your skin and has a premature aging effect. In addition, smoking can cause fine lines around the mouth over the years and this is to be avoided – if you want to keep your good looks.

Looking after your skin in your 30s

By the time you get to your 30s skin cell turnover has slowed. Environmental damage from pollution, smoke and sunlight are starting to take their toll on the dermis, causing collagen fibres to loosen so that skin starts to loose its tone and develop fine lines and wrinkles. When you smile, subcutaneous fat forms ridges and refuse to bounce back as readily as it once did. Your first wrinkles may start to appear.

By now you should have established a daily skincare regime that involves exfoliating (two or three times a week), cleansing, moisturising and sun protection for your skin. In your 30s, it’s important to maintain a balanced diet consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains and fish, which are high in antioxidants such as Vitamins A, B, C and E. These Vitamins counteract free radicals in your body that help the skin to repair itself, produce the enzymes that stabilise collagen production, and stay moist and healthy. For further protection, try using a day crème, such as one that contains vitamin E, for example: Wildcrafted’s Age Defying Essence.

Alcohol should only be consumed in moderation as it deprives your skin of vital nutrients and may cause your facial blood vessels to become dilated leading to permanent, red ‘spider veins’ on your cheeks and in men often across the nose.

Maintaining well hydrated tissues by drinking plenty of water each and every day (3 litres a day is not at all excessive) is vital to retain moisture in your skin. In addition, you should ensure that you get enough quality sleep.

Looking after your skin in your 40s

In your 40s, collagen fibres decrease in number, stiffen, break apart, and form into a shapeless, matted tangle. Elastic fibres lose some of their elasticity, thicken into clumps, and fray. The result is the skin forms crevices and furrows known as lines and wrinkles. In addition, loss of fat in the subcutaneous layer leaves your skin more fragile, whereas the dermis will continue to lose its elasticity. A rich nourishing night crème, such as Wildcrafted’s rejuvenating night crème, becomes a vital part of your skin care regime.

During this time the stratum corneum (the outer layer of the epidermis) starts to grow even thicker, as dead skin cells hang around for longer. If you are not already using an exfoliant regularly, now is a good time to get into the habit of exfoliating your skin regularly using a facial scrub – 2-3 times a week is all that’s necessary. You could also use a cream containing Rose oil, Jojoba oil or similar, as these contain natural AHA’s (alpha hydroxy acids) and to help remove dead skin cells.

As deeper wrinkles start to form, you may wish to use a complete skin care system, which systematically helps you to nourish and moisturise your skin on all levels. Choose natural skin care products for your daily skin care regime, as you do not want to introduce unnecessary toxins into your system by using products full of unpronounceable chemicals. Quality natural skin care systems, such as Wildcrafted’s range of natural skin care systems should be matched to your specific skin type.

Looking after your skin in your 50s and above

As we reach our 50s and beyond, the hair and nails grow more slowly. Langerhans cells (involved in the immune response, dwindle in number, thus decreasing the immune responsiveness of older skin. Decreased size of sebaceous (oil) glands leads to dry and broken skin that is more susceptible to infection.

In women, after the menopause, decreased oestrogen levels mean that skin lose its plumpness and tone, and it may be left dry, itchy and more sensitive to allergens.

At this stage in your life it is important to take that extra care of your skin’s health. Mature skin is more fragile, prone to injury and infection and bruises easily. As if this was not bad enough, it also takes longer to heal. Taking care of your skin will reduce the aging effect; keep it healthier as well as more resistant to injury and infections. Remember, a face that has a lived in look is much more attractive than a Botox face and character is much more beauty.

How Can Natural Skin Care Products Make A Difference?

lady363 » 28 June 2009 » In Skin Care » No Comments

Everyone is going natural, and who can blame them? The skin is one of the body’s most noticeable features. It is constantly exposed to chemicals and other harmful influences like UV rays and stress. The foods we put into our bodies can also influence the appearance of our skin. Since there are enough chemicals and negative influences affecting our skin, we should steer clear of chemical-based skin care products, and opt for a more natural approach. Here are some of the benefits of using natural skin care products:

1. No chemicals. Each day we are around chemicals that are used to clean, gas from vehicles, and some of us are even around cigarette smoke. These things are not good for our skin. Constant exposure to a variety of negative things can leave our skin looking aged, dry, cracked, and old. Natural products are chemical-free.

2. Natural skin care products treat the skin better than unnatural treatments do. Natural things like plants, fruits, herbs, etc., were put here to serve a purpose. It is a shame that some of us are still not taking advantage of these natural and plentiful benefits that are so readily available to us.

3. All natural skin care products possess healing properties that chemical-based skin care products do not. It is true that Mother Nature has given us all that we will ever need to take good care of our skin. Natural skin care products not only help to take care of your skin, they get down into the deeper layers of the skin to repair it and permanently heal it.

4. There are no allergic reactions. There is no eye redness, and no other forms of irritation to deal with. All of the man-made substances are absent, so there is no need to panic that you will be allergic to a natural skin care product.

5. Less use is needed. Since the products are genuine, there is no need to go back and constantly repair the damage done over and over again. All natural skin care products provide better quality, and the creams last longer when not being used.

6. Natural skin care products do not do additional damage to your skin. Chemical-based skin care products might appear to do some temporary repair to your skin, but over time, they are actually damaging your skin. This is what leads to the constant usage of chemical-based skin care products. Suppose that is how they keep their business going? They give you a little bit of repair, and a little bit of damage at the same time.

7. You do not have to worry about harmful substances getting down into your blood stream. It has been proven that over 60% of chemicals that we put on our skin get absorbed into our blood streams. When chemicals absorb into our blood stream through the skin, it heightens our chances of developing eczema, allergies, breakouts, oily skin, cancer, and other various illnesses. With natural skin care products, you know exactly what is going on your skin, and you do not have to worry about getting sick.

As you can see, the benefits of using natural skin care products definitely have the upper hand over unnatural skin care products. Natural skin care is readily available to us only if we choose to use it. The results that natural skin care products have on our skin are better and longer lasting. It is no wonder why they are becoming more and more popular. It is a huge relief to know that more people are actually taking the time out to switch to something better for their skin, and easier on their health. We need to be using something that our bodies are compatible with, not something that we are constantly going to be at odds with. All natural skin care products are the answer.

Good Beauty Skin Care Products With Unisex Appeal

lady363 » 28 June 2009 » In Skin Care » No Comments

There was a time, not too long back, when it was not considered macho for men to be using skin care products. However, in modern times, it is quite acceptable by men as well as women to be using skin care products because men are equally aware about their skin requirements. Nowadays there is a plethora of beauty skin care products available for both men and women and for all possible skin types, soft, sensitive, rough, dry and even hypoallergenic products. So you will have no difficulty in finding a beauty skin care product which will suit your skin type, whether you are male or female and whatever your skin type may be.

What Kind Of Skin Type Do You Have?

If you do not know what type of skin type you have, you should find out. If your skin feels constantly oily, even a little while after you have washed it, you will know that you have oily skin and so you do not want to use a beauty skin care product which is oil based. If you do, you might just break out with pimples or acne. You will require something which will reduce the oiliness of your skin. On the other hand, if you have a dry skin, you will need a beauty skin care product which will replenish the moisture in your skin and help keep it supple and soft. If you have normal skin you should use a beauty skin care product for normal skin. There are also beauty skin care products which have herbs in them or those which are fragrance free for sensitive skins.

.

Seek Help

If you are still confused as to what skin type you have you can check out at your nearest department store or supermarket which has a cosmetic counter. Most people manning these counters or sections know about beauty skin care products and they usually have a wide range of products to choose from. They can guide you after checking your skin type. Most beauty skin care products of good quality are not cheap, so you don’t want to buy something which will not suit your skin type. Alternatively, you can even check out at any beauty or skin care salon that you visit – the staff there will be able to help explain what your skin type is and what health and beauty skin care product you should use.

A Dermatologist Can Guide You

In case you have already been through the above steps are still not satisfied with the results, it would be best to seek the advice of a beauty skin care specialist, a dermatologist who is a medical expert. If you have never been to one then ask your doctor to refer you to one. It is worth spending the money on a dermatologist who will guide you as to your skin type and the best health beauty skin care product which will be ideal for your skin. Beauty may not just be skin deep, but it pays in the long run to take care of your skin and use a good beauty skin care product.

Natural Skin Care For Healthy Skin

lady363 » 27 June 2009 » In Skin Care » No Comments

Probably you have heard people talks about natural skin care. What is actually natural skin care? Basically, natural skin care is using natural ingredients for skin care products, including roots, essential oils, various flowers and also various herbs.

Nowadays natural skin care products have become increasingly popular, because people are constantly looking for new varieties of skin care products. Entrepreneurs see that as opportunities and many companies are starting to offer natural products to their customers.

Even the name is ‘natural’, but natural skin care product is not always created by 100% natural ingredients. Most of them are combination of natural substances with natural preservatives, various emulsifiers, humectants and a variety of surfactants.

The above fact makes several people who have tried a natural skin care approach have decided to make their own products in order to ensure they are applying only natural products to their skin. Chamomile is one of favorite skin care ingredients for people, because it can heal the skin as well as anti-inflammatory abilities when put on topically.

Quality natural body care products are purely from botanical based and do not have synthetic chemicals. It is also important that the manufacturing process that is utilized does not damage the natural ingredients.

Skin Care Product Variations: From Honey to Shea Butter

Hone, Jojoba and Shea Butter are popular skincare ingredients. Let take a look at them…

Honey will retain moisture of your skin. It also has the ability to help your skin take in moisture. Honey is rich with antioxidants and also contains some anti-microbial. Any skin care products which contain the appropriate amount of honey are effective to prevent your skin from the sun and some experts say that it can also rejuvenate your skin.

You might want to try some Jojoba for your skin, since jojoba is considered to be a natural skin care product. The main function of Jojoba is to soften up the skin. Many popular skin care products use Jojoba as their main ingredients.

Shea butter is found in kernels from the Karite tree and is contained in numerous natural skin care products and it. Research shows that shea butter can provide significant therapeutic results. Experts also say that shea butter in an unrefined, certified organic form is useful for treating skin problems including eczema, stretch marks, dermatitis and even psoriasis. However, it is highly recommended to consult with your doctor before trying any skin care products.

Overall Health Creates Healthy Skin

It is also good to remember that skin care health is strongly related with your body health. Healthy body makes healthy skin care. So, if you want to have a great skin, you need to maintain your body as well. Do regular exercise, eat vegetables and fruit, drink water, sleep well, no alcohol and no smoking.

If you can do that regularly, and you also regularly clean, moisturize and exfoliate your skin, you will get an overall health and as a bonus, you will also get great, clear, toned skin.

Why All Natural Skin Care? What’s Wrong With Your Skin Care?

lady363 » 27 June 2009 » In Skin Care » No Comments

Copyright (c) 2008 Phyllis Ekleberry

Have you heard of natural skin care products and cosmetics? Natural skin care products are safer to use, they work better, faster and with less complications as regular skin care and cosmetics. If you are still using cosmetics that are not all natural, then your health my be in grave danger! Let go of those products that have harmful chemicals and possible carcinogens in their formulas.

I know that you thinking that the U.S. government has put into place an agency that watches over the skin care and cosmetic industry. But, did you also know that this agency is poorly regulated and is given very broad outlines for what they enforce (or don’t enforce)?

Now that you know how poorly these companies are regulated, are you still sure that your skin care and cosmetics are safe? Are you willing to bet your life on it? Are you sure? If you have one, tiny doubt, then you need to read on.

With all the renewed efforts of the campaign for safe products, we have more choices than ever before when it comes to our all natural skin care and cosmetics. Did you relize that some companies say they are using natural ingredients while they don’t? How can you protect yourself from these harmful effects?

Protecting Yourself

Before continuing to use any makeup or skin care, you should check first to see if any hazardous or possible carcinogenic ingredients are included in the formula. Every company is required to list the all the ingredients that are in the product on the label. If you are concerned about your health or the health of your loved ones, then please check out the ingredients of your cosmetics and skin care – even the natural ones. Check to see if all the ingredients are on the safe list developed by the Safer Cosmetic Organization.

Safer Cosmetic Organization

This group has a free website for your protection. Over the years science has been good to us. They are constantly researching and testing all of the products we use on a daily basis. This website puts all of science and a great database at your finger tips. Some of the products you use are already in the database and others have not been included. After looking in Safer Cosmetics’ database you find that your skin care product is not listed; you will have to enter the listed ingredients on that products label to find out if they have added toxic chemicals to their formula.

After going to this site myself, I made the decision to throw away all the products I was using that had adverse effects. The makeup that I thought was good, safe and harmless, was rated 7. I was deeply troubled when I found out that my makeup contained harmful materials and possible carcinogens. I had been using a product on my skin (which absorbs over 60% of everything put on it) that included possible carcinogens and hazardous ingredients. Do I really want cancer? Not me. And, neither do you!

All Natural Skin Care Products and Cosmetics

Are you ready to make the switch to all natural cosmetics and skin care? These products are made with ingredients from nature. Most natural skin care products contain only phyto-collagen products. These phyto-collagen products are derived from plants and are the best products to use to combat acne, aging skin, skin allergies and rashes. They provide for a more radiant glow and tighter, firmer, more youthful skin.

All Natural Skin Care & Cosmetics for Problem Skin

If you are having problems with your skin, it could be the products that you are using. Try using all natural cosmetics and skin care and see if you can tell the difference. I am betting within two weeks, you will be able to see and feel the difference. I have found some products that actually improve the skin after just one application.

More Youthful Appearance

If you are interested in a more youthful appearance, then all natural cosmetics are the only route to take. And in addition to the youthful, baby soft skin you will achieve, you will be using skin care products that are totally safe and toxin free.

All Natural Skin Care and Cosmetics

There are many companies that offer natural cosmetics and skin care. Some products are better than others so read and research before you purchase them. Remember that plant based products are better and your skin absorbs them more readily. Another ingredient that you may want to look for is glycerin. Many things dissolve better in glycerin so the absorption rate is much higher.

Summary

After using natural cosmetics for a short time, I know that you too will be as impressed as I am. I have noticed a radiance and glow that was not on my face before. You will certainly reap wonderful, healthy benefits by going all natural!

What You Don’T Know About Best Skin Care Products May Shock You

lady363 » 27 June 2009 » In Skin Care » No Comments

Anti aging and wrinkle reduction skin care products are a rage in these times and sell very well. But it is important to safeguard against the big scam going on behind these products. This article shall throw light on the ugly facts behind the so called \”best skin care products\”.

When I talk about professional skin care products, I don\’t mean skin care products which are expensive and sold in luxurious high end malls. I also do not mean skin care products that have been endorsed by popular celebrities who have just lent their name for the sake of receiving huge royalties, without even using them even once!

By professional and best skin care products, I mean those skin care products that have been scientifically proven in improving skin health and youth naturally.

If we look at skin care product effectiveness, you should take into notice that the money spent on celebrity endorsements and expensive advertisements on television and glossy magazines does not contribute even a little bit to the product quality. All it does is that is makes the skin care products much more expensive and unaffordable.

The most important thing that you should consider while selecting the best skin care products is to check the quality of natural ingredients used in them. You should check that they are scientifically proven effective in enhancing skin health and youth naturally.

The Ugly Collagen Scam to watch out against

There is a lot of hype going on around skin care products containing collagen and elastin. These are being advertised heavily. But you should safeguard yourself against this big scam going on. I will tell you the scientific evidence behind this.

Basically, collagen and elastin are the two essential skin proteins present in our body and produced naturally. In young age, their production is in sufficient quantity, but as we mature, their output begins to decelerate. This is what leads to skin aging symptoms like wrinkles, old age spots, saggy skin and imbalanced skin complexion.

So, we all know that collagen and elastin play a key role in providing us young, firm and supple skin. Now, the skin care products manufacturers misuse this concept and take unfair advantage of the public. They add collagen and elastin into their products and tout it as skin rejuvenating and anti aging.

But they don\’t tell you some really shocking information. The reality is that scientific trials have proven that collagen and elastin present in such skin care products cannot be absorbed by the skin because its molecule is too large. It is rejected by the uppermost layer of our skin called Epidermis!

These hardcore scientific facts can be confirmed by any well known dermatologist or a reputed medical website.
