As you can see there have been no new posts on this blog for nearly a year. The reason for this is that back last May the blog was hacked/infected with malware with the result that I was unable to login to correct the problem. Despite trying several different methods I was unsuccesful in solving the problem and so left it to concentrate on other things. Recently I was advised that certain trademark issues meant that I needed to access the blog to alter some of the older posts and so I made a fresh attempt to gain access. As you see the blog has now been resurrected using a new look and normal skin care posts will resume in the near future.

Have you noticed how the skin care experts always advise you to stay out of the sun as this is the major cause of damage to the skin and premature aging? Yet it is also clear that some sunlight is good for you because it is a source of vitamin D.

Then again some people believe that all skin creams should contain sunscreen while forgetting that most of us spend more time indoors than outside exposed to the sun. What prompted these thoughts was an article I found which explained how our diet can provide a form of natural sunscreen by protecting our skin from the inside. It’s all to do with antioxidants and increasing levels of these by eating the correct diet. Vegetables such as turnip greens and kale as well as broccoli, spinach, peas, watercress and corn are just a few that the author suggests. However do not go overboard on carrots or your skin may take on an orange tinge. Read more..

As someone who takes a keen interest in skin care I naturally keep an eye on items in the news. Over the weekend I came across this piece:

“Lead on my lips and mercury on my eyelashes, carcinogenic and endocrine disruptive creams on my skin. We have a long history of doing dangerous things in the name of beauty. The Egyptians applied copper for skin tone, Romans used chalk. In the Middle Ages, Europeans covered faces with arsenic-laced powder and leaches to whiten skin. The EU has banned 1,110-plus ingredients in cosmetics, compared to only 10 in the US. With one-third of the products on shelves containing an ingredient linked to cancer, why do “beauty” companies continue to slather our faces and bodies with chemicals in the name of healthy skin?”

And further on I read:

“As one of 600 companies that signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, this body and cosmetic collection is vegan-friendly and doesn’t test on animals. There are no phthalates, parabens or artificial fragrance. It specializes in bioactive ingredients that have a “therapeutic effect on living tissue,” like magnolia which is an anti-inflammatory and pumpkin which acts as an anti-oxidant.”

This sounds just like Xtend-Life although it is in fact one of the other 600 companies mentioned above.

I was wondering if there was a thing such as anti aging oil that will make my skin beautiful again. I hate my rough, old skin, and I could really use something like an anti aging oil. I just found this query on a Health blog, but there is no answer. My answer would be that of course there are many anti aging skin care products that can improve your appearance and reduce those lines and wrinkles. The problem most people have is knowing how to choose a product that is really effective and will do what it promises.

I noticed today that the old rhyme about An Apple a Day has now been reinvented to promote a product based on “apple stem cells”. “The latest buzz in skincare is a rare Swiss Apple called the Uttwiler Spatlauber. This “Super Apple” is so rare that only 20 trees are in existence. Researchers noted that when these super apples were punctured they healed themselves. They also boast an extremely long shelf life; they last 4 months longer than typical shriveled apples. This rare Swiss Apple has a self-renewal power that rejuvenates aging, saggy skin. Apple stem cells are rich in epigenetic factors and metabolites that assure the longevity of skin cells”.

While I have no inside knowledge of this product, I applaud the use of natural ingredients which I feel are always to be preferred over those made from chemicals. The skin care products that I recommend are made by the Xtend-Life Company which uses all natural ingredients in its creams and lotions.

I’ve just found this great article about natural skin care products and so thought I would share it with you:

Just imagine if there really were anti aging natural skin care products that actually delivered what they promised. Well, you don?t have to imagine. The good news is these products do exist. And if you?re willing to learn a few important facts and apply these facts to some old fashioned ?shopping? you can end up with the best anti aging skin care that will really help you turn back the clock on your appearance.

You probably know from personal experience that most products that are promoted as anti aging natural skin care don?t work?at least not in any long term, truly skin-improving way.

Because they?re made up of synthetic chemicals, you get a product that acts as a temporary filler of lines and wrinkles.

Companies use low quality ingredients, such as mineral oil, dioxane, parabens, alcohol and fragrances because they are inexpensive way to create a product that looks good, feels good and smells good. But don?t be fooled. They are not good for your skin.

What is good for your skin, however, are anti aging natural skin care products which stimulate your skin?s own natural ability to maintain its youthful firmness and elasticity. The best anti aging skin care promotes new collagen and elastin production in your skin.

Finding these effective anti aging natural skin care products is easy. It?s just a matter of reading the ingredients on the label.

You want to look for natural oils, vegetable-based waxes and silicones, reparative proteins, vitamins, antioxidants and plant extracts. The best anti aging skin care is also fragrance-free.

I don?t know about you, but I feel a lot better about putting natural ingredients on my face that I wouldn?t be afraid to eat. I know that sounds strange, but since your skin absorbs what you put on it, some of the active ingredients make it into your blood stream. So it?s just as if you?ve eaten it.

Make no mistake about it. This is good news about anti aging natural skin care products. You can make a healthy improvement in your appearance by taking what you?ve just learned and applying it to looking for the best anti aging skin care you can find.

And you will not be surprised to learn that the skin care products recommended by the author are made by Xtend-Life.

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.
