Anti Aging



About the cosmetic aspects of aging and the benefits of so-called anti-aging creams , we have Prof. Dr. Wolf-Ingo Worret of Dermatology of the University of Munich asked:
Bestskinlotion.com: Professor Worret, this is about the anti-aging skin treatment. Ahead the question: Does such treatment a thing?

Worret: Any sensible skin care make the skin appear younger and healthier as opposed to scruffy skin.

Bestskinlotion.com: At what age should man-aging skin care product anti?

Worret: Over 25 years of age the skin starts to. But here we are on the term "old skin" is the taboo in Germany. Literally translated from English to say it but "anti-aging". But we have to "mature skin," say the case. Moreover, this is different. The anti-aging products are also called "rich creams," which means they are particularly rich. When do you need it depends on the skin condition. Can some 40 years ago to attend poorly in others until 60th

Bestskinlotion.com: What ingredients, skin care creams contain these be in?

Worret: In this lush creams is primarily a high fat content. This is not always useful. Much more important is moisture. This is what ingredients like hyaluronic acid, collagen or another. Recently, materials such as caviar or Lamea used, the moisture will also bind.

Bestskinlotion.com: Does the statement: "The cost of the anti-aging creams is due to the expensive drugs and the research of the manufacturing firms that are always better ways to prevent skin aging, look for the. Very good creams generally have too low a concentration these ingredients on so that the desired effect is absent. " ?

Worret: not true, because more than for the equivalent of about three euros of active ingredients you get the best will not find the cream into saucepan. Higher prices are justified only in expensive oils, but are mainly due to the social component. An expensive cream in a beautiful package is more than a cheaper credited in a plastic box. One has the feeling of his skin cream more expensive to have done with the.

Bestskinlotion.com: Then the assertion is certainly true of the Stiftung Warentest, that cut anti-aging creams are not better nor worse than other day creams?

Worret: This is essentially correct.

Bestskinlotion.com: Can aging of the skin with more effective methods to stop him? We think of peeling, laser, Botox and other things in demand is currently as before?

Worret: Laser is actually out, because the side effects are too strong, it's broken skin too much. Although it should now be other laser under the skin act, but its benefits are questionable. The trend today is more likely to peel. This means, for a stress for the skin, but the other needs the skin from this challenge and, as such a weak heart also needs movement and not just absolute silence. This we know by now.

Bestskinlotion.com: Which wrinkles will recommend which method?

Worret: Peeling helps at all, so-called photo-aging, wrinkles, creases and wrinkles mentioned before, a lot of outdoor exercise or too much sun exposure caused by.
In gravitational wrinkles caused by the decrease of skin elasticity - the pull of gravity pulls the loose skin down - only helps lift, so the re-up-take of the skin. The frown lines that come from muscle overactivity, such as the forehead and mouth can be treated with Botolinumtoxin.

Bestskinlotion.com: What about the nasolabial folds?

Worret: While Botolinumtoxin for forehead wrinkles would be absolutely unbeatable, it helps practically not at the nasolabial folds. This must be treated with a so-called Filler. That is, one filled with the substances on the folds.

Bestskinlotion.com: collagen is well known, derived from bovine hides. Is there a risk of contracting BSE by itself?

Worret: This was once a hot topic, but today more as no one asks for it. But today it was then and no danger, because, first, the collagen content in cosmetics is so minimal, and the protein components of only large molecules are second, not the organism can penetrate into.

Bestskinlotion.com: A résumé can therefore be stated that a good skin care is never wrong, no matter what age. So you can delay the aging process a bit and perhaps not quite early to other methods such as lift or Botox must resort.

Worret: You say it. One should select the best quality care products means to put in, while the personal attention to skin structure. Products with a wide range for different skin types are more suitable for individual skin care products as the skin will be hailed as ideal for each. With a good line of cosmetics from the chemist can do little wrong.

Bestskinlotion.com: Prof. Worret, Thank you for the informative interview.

Finally, the doctor will want to know which preferred embodiments of the patient with drugs. The patient carries on like tinctures or ointments may he prefer? If the patient is willing to follow complicated instructions therapy, or the application may require only a minimal effort? The doctor would know this to find a treatment strategy that fits exactly to the individual patient.

The skin of a person Young is renewed completely in about a month, but over time the skin loses firmness, can no longer take care of itself and its rate of regeneration it is somewhat compromised. This slowdown is the root cause of wrinkles and dark spots that are formed usually on the face and hands. Many people are aware of the presence of spots on the skin especially in late summer, because exposure to the sun, which this season is more prolonged and frequent, increases the risk of the occurrence of skin spots, especially with the ' age.

The formation of the spots is due to an irregular production of melanin, a pigment responsible for skin color, production of which increases according to the stimuli it receives from outside, such as ultraviolet rays, because this pigment has the duty to protect dal'esposizione sunlight.

Skin care products are a major reason why you lose the Fresh



When was the last time you watched a perfect baby skin and skin still looked like he wanted? While it is true there are natural changes that occur in the body that upset the delicate balance of the skin, it is also true that many skin problems such as the experience we have our children into adulthood and can be prevented by a good natural cure skin routine and good skin care products. However, what is necessary to achieve this objective, fresh, young look may surprise you.

Let's look at what we do to our skin as you move from babyhood to adulthood.

As children, and our kids, we sometimes outside for most of the day - in summer we are in and out of the pool or beach, our guide, bike, sports or park. In winter we are out skiing, ice skating, sledding, making snowmen and having snowball fights with our friends. The children were living like that for centuries.

You might think that all that exposure to the sun and the elements would result in severe skin problems. However, even if sometimes we had to use skin care products for the occasional episodes of chapped hands and faces in the winter or to soothe sunburns is usually the beginning of the summer season, our use of these remedies was minimal and, overall, our skin problems were not anywhere near what they are today. In fact, skin cancer has become common, and eczema has reached epidemic proportions.
 
So what has changed? The big change is Chemicals: Our air used to be pristine, our food is grown naturally and locally, and our products for skin care tends to be the same things our grandmothers used. Now, in some cities, you look at the pollution each day to see if it is safe for our kids to play outside, our foods are loaded with pesticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics and substances from laboratories that do not really have no resemblance to food, and our skin care products are loaded with things we are not able to speak and, in many cases, have proved toxic.

Every day our bodies spend countless amounts of energy trying to get rid of these chemicals and toxins - and one of the main roads out of the body is through our skin. Is it any wonder that skin problems are also increasing?

What is the remedy? Buy fresh, buy local, buy and natural - and naturally applies to everything from food to clothing, from household cleaners and soaps and bath products, from dry sun block lotions and other skin products skin care.

For chemicals can not be avoided - there is no way to escape by air - use a shielding lotion. A good shielding lotion keeps the environmental pollutants that inevitably come into contact with each minute of the day.

For nine months, infants are fully protected from the environment - except for the degree that their mothers were exposed to toxins. The trouble begins when they are exposed to chemicals in our harsh environment. If you want skin like a baby, you have to treat well. Protect and nourish with a natural lifestyle, natural skin care products. And do not forget the shielding lotion!

Natural Skin Care



Natural skin care is the care of the skin (the largest organ of the body) using naturally-derived ingredients (such as herbs, roots, essential oils and flowers) combined with natural carrier agents, preservatives, surfactants, emulsifiers and humectants (to be all natural soap to oils to pure water). The classic definition of natural skin care is based on the use of botanical ingredients currently existing in or formed by nature, without the use of synthetic chemicals, and manufactured in such a way as to preserve the integrity of the ingredients.

People who take normal rind maintenance products are less concerned with artificial beauty accessories, as a normal aspect that beauty is rugged beauty.

Nutrients beat a significance in maintaining a solid crust. Diet plays a significant character in maintaining the health of the crust. Diet should provide all the nutrients needed to build health, namely, protein, carbohydrates, fats, essential fatty acids and all the vital vitamins and minerals. The cleaning of the skin is often very important because contamination, stain and dirt adhere to the crust, clogging pores, while the system eliminates toxins through perspiration. If the cleaning procedure is not strictly taken, and the crust seem to look slow, tired and meaningless crust problems and irritations will transpire. Although high vulnerability to sunlight can develop symptoms of aging and may even predispose them to cancer, less vulnerability to continuous sunlight in the day light of day is important to restore your crust.

Healthy and attractive crust is no longer an ambition if you go precautions and care to refund the diet and drill. A diet for blemish-prone crust should be consistently higher in protein and fresh, uncooked fruits and vegetables. Toner is not sufficient to clean away the crust and help to remove any particles that may get left behind but also cools, nourishes, moisturizes and refreshes your crust.

Ten rules for healthy skin

HEALTHY SKIN CARE



What can I do to keep our skin healthy?

For the protection and care of the most important barrier that protects us from the outside world and maintain the internal balance of the human body, the Italian dermatologists reveal the Decalogue to a healthy skin.

1) Hydration is the salvation of the skin: note that the stratum corneum of the skin is likened to a "wall": in fact it has a unique structure, organization with a brick (the cells called corneocytes) and mortar (intercellular lipids) . When the skin is particularly dry and tired is appropriate to use local treatments based emollient creams and moisturizers. This variety can lead to normalization of the skin barrier in patients with dry skin, while providing protection against external agents. Today, dermatologists use two instrumental techniques, non-invasive, and the TEWL corneometry to study the skin. TEWL is derived fromcomes from TEWL Trans Epidermal Water Loss indicating "water loss transpidermica. The new cosmetic formulations are getting closer and closer to what is the composition of natural skin lipids Members of our defense. The barrier is more or less resistant to the environment.

2) Keep a clean skin: cleanse the skin carefully is always important, but to do good is very important to use a foaming cleanser, not to alter the hydro-lipid film surface and reduce its non-barrier effect. Aggressive cleaning agents can, in fact, deplete the thin film made of water and sebum that protects the skin. The skin becomes exposed to the irritation but also to small infections. It is also useful to spend the evening after cleansing the face before going to sleep and an ice cube on face and neck and prr about a minute. This measure facilitates vasoconstriction, ie narrowing of the capillaries, produced by the cold and the subsequent reactive vasodilation, that is their spread. Actions that will play a physiological "exercise" to the capillaries and promote oxygenation and cellular metabolism.

3) Because the skin can be properly hydrated is necessary that is also smooth. To achieve this it is useful to regularly once or twice a week is a scrub on your face on the body. If in some areas as a special thickening of the dermis is also recommended that a medical peeling. But in these cases, if you must go to the beach and sunbathe, it is important to think about at least a month before.

4) To eat well and get a supply of antioxidants: the first beauty care for the skin comes from within. Oxidative stress is a major cause of cellular aging. This aging process is the basis for many chronic degenerative diseases (arteriosclerosis, diabetes, skin cancer and other organs). Over the past 50 years it was observed that the power supply is a crucial factor in environmental protection for all complex diseases and aging. It was so clearly demonstrated that the "Mediterranean Diet", based on fruit, vegetables, legumes and whole grains, including fish and reduce the consumption of animal fats for olive oil - rich in antioxidants - perform an action protection for the various diseases, including cardiovascular, cancer and for aging. In particular, it was shown that substances such as resveratrol (contained in red wine), apigenin (indicated in orange), lycopene (in tomatoes), hydroxytyrosol (contained in olive oil) influencing the complex mechanisms that regulate both the proliferation differentiation of epidermal cells (keratinocytes) may be a factor in prevention against aging processes, exerting a powerful anti-aging effect. There are also a powerful anti-inflammatory effect and a strong antiproliferative activity of these molecules, which expand their scope in common skin diseases such as psoriasis, acne and photoaging.

5) Always check in: a good rule is to control the moles, especially those little brownish and found which are in melanociatri and can always increase in size and number. Always follow the ABCD rule, where "A is for asymmetry, B for border, C for color, size D and E for age or evolutionary. If there is a rapid increase in size, the worsening of the pigmentation ol'estendersi, ol'ulcerazione spontaneous bleeding of a mole, there is danger that the newly transformed melanoma. In these cases you should immediately contact a dermatologist.

6) Finally, a friend, the sun! There are indeed risks to those who are exposed to the sun today? The truth is that exposure does not involve any special rational, especially if preceded by the application 'correct' in a sunscreen. But it is essential to apply sunscreen often, in adequate quantity and 10 or 15 minutes before sun exposure, so that the product may have sufficient time to penetrate the skin. No exposure so indiscriminate, but also remember that the sun can make them very well. That's right, in fact, meet the natural need and just need to escape and vacation, but convincing people to make proper use of means of sun protection, which are not only represented by sunscreens, but also by common clothing, as a light-colored T-shirt which is perfect when the sun is at peak and the complexion is very light or why not, from a traditional umbrella. For screens today, there is simply spoiled for choice. The infinite range of solar products is so great in number and quality, to confuse an unwary buyer. There are many companies, large product range, the infinite series of numbers (10, 30, 40, 50 +) and promises of protection (medium, high, very high ....).

When a person requesting a "tan" was told by the dermatologist who must use a screen with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 40, it is absolutely predictable reply: "But I'm not so abbronzerò ever !!!". The truth is that especially in the early days, when the skin is unaccustomed to UV light, it needs real protection, not an excuse: "My skin is protected from the filter and, therefore, I can be in the sun as it seems to me." And then the sun can also be good to those who have certain skin disorders: acne, psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, as some of those children avail themselves of sun exposure or even have a vital need. The light therapy is effective in these cases as other therapies, in fact allows the reduction or suspension of the traditional ones, with good peace of patients and, if small, of their parents.

7) Special attention should be paid to the protection of the skin of children and pregnant women: the sunburn in childhood are in fact associated with an increased risk of skin cancer in adulthood. So you have to avoid them being in the sun during the hottest hours, must be protected with protection factors higher than 15, often renewing the application. Even pregnant women should take particular care. The sun may in fact lead to a worsening of dark spots (chloasma gravidarum) that often occur naturally mainly on the face (cheekbones, upper lip, forehead), until they become indelible. Heat can also cause a dilation of blood vessels, increase the itching "pregnancy" and lower the blood pressure. Remember, finally, to apply a moisturizing cream after sun exposure so that the skin remains perfectly elastic.

8) Pay attention to the spots on the skin: If spots appear 'suspect' on the skin can be white or dark it is essential immediately contact the specialist. Today, dermatologists have access to various weapons to eliminate them. For those dark using substances such as azelaic acid. Now, using substances such as azelaic acid, kojic acid, and combinations of the two products. Still semi-experimental acid acetilcisteaminilico, but are also used chemical peels and laser. But you must also remove the possible causes: eliminating scented creams and then, when possible, the photosensitizing drugs. More often, however, the white spots that appear on the skin of an Italian two. It is not just the fault of vitiligo, which affects about one million of Italians. A discoloration of the skin, for 4-5% of the population, there are also signs of atopic dermatitis most pronounced when the tan goes away with the typical 'leopard'. Small round spots, however, can affect the course of life, 50% of the population, and are due to a very common fungus that feeds on keratin. Congenital, however, the piebaldism or white pigmentation of the skin.

9) Be careful taking of drugs and cosmetics: in fact there are many side effects that may arise in the course of administration of two or more drugs with different mechanisms of action. The skin is in fact the favorite target of these reactions and is the organ most affected in young adults, children and the elderly. But attention to cosmetics, the first case of skin irritation. A problem of easy evaluation and still underestimated, because the lesions are often of little relevance critical and are not documented. In all these cases the diagnosis can be performed in dermatological centers that have provided specific allergens to be tested on the skin of patients with suspected allergy.

10) Face: Botox and fillers are bad or good? Mitigate or to wipe out wrinkles and imperfections seem a "must" but as in many areas of medicine, everything depends on the operator. The quality of materials and substances used, together with the skill of the operator-dermatologist-expert are the best guarantees for success. The appearance, at any age, is now essential for those individuals who carry out a public activity, or so they believe the most. But it must however be noted that the dermatologist does not have a magic wand . We often find themselves asked: "I want to remove this mole from his cheek, can eliminate it?". The weeklies are often filled with promises of medical and surgical equipment which is not always possible to maintain, because the removal of a mole, as performed by hand highly skilled, will always leave a trace, even if minimal. And then the attitude of the doctor must be to really understand what the 'neo-blemish "is a ground of dissatisfaction and impaired quality of life for the patient.

Oxygen Therapy. The New Feature in the Beauty Industry

0 comments
You might have heard a lot about oxygen therapy in the media lately. It certainly has become the new buzz word in the industry. With celebrities such as Madonna, Heather Locklear, Donatella Versace and Gwen Stefani endorsing it and Madonna is even reported to have a machine in her home, there is certainly a lot of interest in this treatment.

So what is Oxygen Therapy and how does it work? We all need oxygen. We are surrounded by it. We breathe it in. Oxygen is the ultimate life support ingredient, helping cells to survive, reproduce and regenerate. Oxygen is also a healing agent, a provider of energy and it guards against unfriendly bacteria and disease. Science has shown us that our skin cells are the last to receive the oxygen we breathe in.


Also as we age the delivery of oxygen to the skin cells slows down which in turn slows down the cell regeneration. This causes the skin to become thinner and wrinkles and brown spots can start to appear. The skin can also have a general 'dulling'. Oxygen Therapy combats these symptoms by delivering a concentrated stream of oxygen directly to the skin, followed by an oxygen rich skin cream or serum.

According to Intraceuticals, an Australian company who developed the treatment along with a skincare range to go with it, the Oxygen facial is gentle, relaxing and soothing and is suitable for all skin types.

The facial promises to deliver skin that looks and feels years younger, is nourished and hydrated and the skin renewal is stimulated. The company also claims that your fine lines and blemishes virtually disappear in just a one 30 minute treatment. An increase in the levels of oxygen in the skin helps to enhance the skin cells' metabolic health, enhances new cell growth and the functioning of the blood vessels in the skin. The resulting increase in blood flow improves the body's ability to metabolise, absorb and utilise vitamins, minerals, proteins and other nutrients.

Oxygen also stimulates collagen production and the production of elastin fibres, all in all contributing to healthier, younger looking skin! The procedure involves six weekly treatments followed by monthly facials, costing $140-200 each.

If however you are a busy girl constantly on the go Tali by Tali Shine has developed the first Oxygen Therapy in a bottle. This fantastic little product is great if you are flying or generally spend a lot of time in air-conditioning which is extremely dehydrating for the skin. This product was created by using technology developed by NASA scientists. It is a 100% natural, non toxic, chemical free and pH balanced skin rejuvenating facial spray containing high levels of bio-available oxygen dissolved in highly filtered water.

At first this spray has a mild chlorine-like scent. But it is not unpleasant. The smell is due to the use of Atlantic sea salt in the manufacturing process. And if they put a fragrance in the product to mask the smell, this would have destabilised the oxygen. So we prefer the original smell. After having used the spray regularly I have noticed a definite brightening of my skin and it is an excellent product to keep with you at all times to re-hydrate your skin instantly.

Some basic Skin care tips for men

Some basic Skin care tips for men

 To begin with, men should realize that proper skin care need not take copious amounts of time. A few minutes a day is all that is necessary. Wash your facial skin with a mild soap oe skin lotion toner such as Ivory. Do not use a deodorant or strong soap on your face. Use cold water to rinse.

 One or two times a week, wash your face with lukewarm water and a deep cleanser such as Noxzema. Use a slightly wet washcloth, and gently work in the cleanser in a circular motion. Your pores will be cleaned out and your skin will feel better. Always pat your face dry with a clean towel. Apply a moisturizing skin lotion or aloe vera skin lotion. This is a must in skin care.

 Everyday elements such as such and wind can dry your skin to the point that it hurts. To prevent this, wear sunscreen when you plan to be outdoors for an extended period of time. An SPF factor of 15 should suffice. Pick a sunscreen that has aloe and moisturizers in it. After being in the sun, apply a facial moisturizer that contains vitamin E. You can also apply this any time your face feels dry.

 Shaving is always rough on your face, so do it right. If you use a blade, make sure that your face is coated with a thin stream of hot water before applying shaving cream. Give the cream a few minutes to settle in. Use a sharp razor that has a double blade attached to it. Take your time. Rinse with cold water, not hot. Applying after shave cream such as Afta works better than applying liquid. If you use an electric razor, apply pre-shave skin lotion to enable your whiskers to stand up and keeps your shaver gliding easily across your face. It will also lessen the irritation and burn that comes with electric shaving and so is needed for skin care.

 Eating a balanced diet and staying active are obviously part of the equasion. Double up on the fruits and vegetables, which often contain many anti-oxidants that can retard skin damage. Take a multi-vitamin that is rich in anti-oxidants and vitamin E. Do your best to avoid greasy, fried food. Substitute olive oil in place of butter when you cook. It is healthier and, as some claim, will allow your skin to retain its elasticity longer. Exercise will do more than simply get your heart rate going. It will clear your pores, increase your metabolism, and generally make you feel better about yourself. Sweating allows your inner body to cleanse itself. Employing these techniques can make skin care an easy way.

 Perhaps the easiest and best way to help your skin is to drink plenty of water on a day to day basis. The majority of your body's cells are made of water, and it only makes sense to keep hydrated. Drink at least 64 ounces of water per day. Increase your intake if you are a drinker of beverages that dehydrate you, such as coffee, soda, and alcohol. If you do drink alcohol excessively, do your best to limit your intake, as the consequences will manifest themselves in more than just bad-looking skin.

 Diligent practice of the above tips will not have you looking like a cover model overnight. However, your skin will look healthier and younger, allowing you to feel better about yourself, thus maximizing skin care.
