How To Avoid Dry Skin Problems In Winter

Feb 172010

I found this article “Goodbye Dry Winter Skin” which is full of tips on how to keep your skin moisturized during the cold weather. “Taking the time to apply extra moisturizer or lotion to the skin is always a pain. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to treat dry skin and steps people can take to prevent dry hands from happening, or from getting worse”.

Tips include:

# Applying a little olive oil to dry patches on the skin. This will make skin extra smooth and add antioxidants.

#Using yogurt as a natural exfoliant to remove all dry flakes from the skin.

#Honey can be to be applied to dry lips, filling in the dry cracks and making the lips smooth.

You can find the full article here.

“What causes wrinkles? Does what I eat really affect acne or cause flare ups? Why do I need to wear sunscreen if I am not outside? These nagging questions and many more are answered by Dr. Lees in The Skin Care Answer Book. The book addresses key topics to educate students, licensed estheticians and consumers. Chapters are organized by subject, making it reader-friendly and easy to navigate.

This book gives skin care professionals and consumers alike access to scientific, fact-based answers to their most pressing questions,” said Dawn Gerrain, president, Milady. “Authored by Dr. Lees, an award-winning skin care professional who has developed his own skin care products ? many of which are used by celebrities, The Skin Care Answer Book will be an invaluable addition to anyone’s book shelf.”

The last two paragraphs are taken from the press release which you can find in full by following this link.

Anti Aging Skin Care That Really Works

Anti Aging, Skin Care Comments Off

Dec 082009

I have been rather preoccupied recently and so have not kept up with posting to my blog. Checking to see what people are searching for I looked at my visitor stats and found the following sequence of queries. “Anti aging skin care really work” followed by “anti aging skin care really works”. I’m not sure whether the first was a question and the second a statement, but the third gave the answer “anti aging skin care that really works”. That was clearly someone who was looking for real information on products that are truly effective.

Of course it is not that easy to find a skin care product “that really works” despite what the advertisers would have you believe. But by learning about the different ingredients used in the manufacture of anti aging products you will be able to make an informed choice. For a full explanation of the importance of the ingredients in skin care products visit my AntiAgingProducts101 home page.

I found this video which reveals some of the secrets that celebs use to keep their skin looking in such perfect condition. What I found particularly interesting was the section towards the end where they talk about the importance of hyaluronic acid. As I have mentioned in other posts one of the ingredients in the Xtend-Life product range is Phytessence Wakame which blocks a harmful enzyme in your body that breaks down the hyaluronic acid in your skin. Enjoy the video:

What Skincare Products Contain Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10?

Anti Aging, Skin Care Comments Off

Nov 182009

This is not just my question, but was the query typed into a search engine by someone who clearly was well aware of the importance of nano-lipobelle h-eq10. For readers who have not come across this term before let me explain that nano-lipobelle h-eq10 is a special form of Coenzyme Q10 which is a vitamin like substance that is found in all of our body’s cells and is very important for healthy skin. Unlike others this version of CoQ10 is formulated so that it can penetrate deeply into the skin where it is extemely effective in destroying free radicals. It has the added benefit that it also promotes the production of collagen and elastin the two proteins that keep the skin looking smooth and firm.

But the question was “What skincare products contain nano-lipobelle h-eq10?” and the answer is products produced by Xtend-Life and you can find further details on their website.

Anti Wrinkle Doesn’t Advertise

Anti Aging, Skin Care Comments Off

Nov 052009

This may seem like a strange headline, but this is a search term that someone has entered into a search engine to find this blog. Perhaps it’s not so strange after all when you realise that there is a big difference in the way that companies market their skin care products.

The companies whose brands are big household names are well known because they advertise extensively in magazines and on TV. Of course advertising is expensive and you will often find that the costs of promotion may be more than the cost of the ingredients in the product itself.

Lesser known brands tend to promote their anti aging products in different ways and so are able to use more expensive ingredients without having to increase the final cost of their products.

So this is just a gentle reminder that you can’t judge a skin care product by its price alone. Just because it is the most expensive does not mean that it will be the most effective. That is why I recommend products from Xtend Life since they concentrate on the ingredients rather than the promotion.

Free Radicals, Antioxidants and Skin Care

Anti Aging, Skin Care Comments Off

Oct 292009

Articles about skin care and anti aging often talk about antioxidants and free radicals, but do you know what these terms mean? Or should you care? Well the short answer is yes, since both free radicals and antioxidants affect your general health as well as the condition of your skin.

So what are these free radicals? Without becoming too technical just understand that all matter is made up of atoms which consist of electrons. Sometimes an electron can be detached and this causes the atom to become unstable and it is then known as a free radical.

But why should I have to worry about a single atom that has lost an electron? To restore its equilibrium the atom grabs an electron from an adjoining atom and this starts a chain reaction. The end result is damage to your skin.

Antioxidants are the good guys because they are able to lose electrons without becoming unstable and so can neutralize the free radicals.

While free radicals do perform some useful functions in our bodies, excessive numbers can cause tissue damage. Air pollution and cigarette smoke as well as stress encourage the production of free radicals and so should be avoided.

Vitamins C and E are antioxidants so eating a well balanced diet is the easiest way to protect your body from the harmful effects of free radicals.

The Truth About Male Age Spots

Anti Aging, Skin Care Comments Off

Oct 252009

Male age spots are sometimes called liver spots and so the question is sometimes asked whether they are a sign of liver disease. In fact these spots have nothing to do with the liver and so do not indicate a problem in this direction. The correct name for liver spots is age spots or, if you want to be technical, photoaging spots. Typically they appear as light to dark brown patches on the hands and face as well as the legs and feet. The spots have rounded edges, sometimes appearing singly or in groups like large freckles. There are two known causes of these age spots, excessive exposure to the sun and an inherited tendency to form them.

As with general skin care the best way to prevent the appearance of age spots is to protect yourself from the sun by wearing appropriate clothing and using an effective sunscreen. In the case of hereditary age spots there are no effective preventive measures you can take, although the spots can be removed by the various methods described in other posts. Age spots are not cancerous or precancerous, but spots with uneven rather than rounded edges could be melanoma and should be checked by your doctor.
