Writing in the Pittsburgh Makeup Examiner Patty Bell has ten tips which she calls her “Golden Rules of Makeup”. What interested me was that her Rule number 3 is Moisturize EVERYTHING! And this is followed by “Stay out of the sun and tanning beds -period”. This is all good skin care advice that you will have read here before. After some specific makeup tips she adds as Rule number 9 “Get yourself on a good skin care routine” because as she says “Good skin is the perfect canvas to the best makeup application”.

You can read the full article here.

Here are a few more items I have found in the news today:

Why You Should Always Choose Natural Skin Care Products

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.

Natural Skin Care With Apple Stem Cells

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:21:49 +0000

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.

275 Questions On Skin Care

admin — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 09:23:30 +0000

A new book has just been published which aims to educate skin care professionals and consumers on general skin related topics. “The Skin Care Answer Book” is written in a Q&A format using non-technical language making it accessable to a general audience.

“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.

Vitamin J and Brushing Your Teeth

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 10:01:11 +0000

Founder of Sumbody, Deborah Burnes is a trained cosmetologist and so an expert on the ingredients that are used in the manufacture of skincare products. Her recently released book “Look Great, Live Green” includes information on how to understand the labels on the products we buy. Many products which claim to be “natural” and “organic” are what she calls Vitamin J – junky and contain dangerous chemicals which she believes are potentially poisonous and polluting the planet.

If you have read previous posts you will recognize two of the examples she quotes “Parabens, used as preservatives in many products, are being tested for possible cancer-causing effects, and phthalates, commonly found in fragrance and linked to hormone disruption”.

Equally disturbing is her discovery that “Chemicals that are banned from industrial manufacturing for safety reasons can be used in body care products”. Read more..

Brush your teeth before you wash your face was one surprising tip that I picked up from this video by Dr Doris Day on how to protect your skin from winter’s chill. Here’s the link.

Celebrity Skin Care Secrets

admin — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:36:37 +0000

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:

Anti Wrinkle Doesn’t Advertise

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:59:28 +0000

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.
