Softens and Beautifies the Skins Surface Layer

What differentiates Sothys Lift Defense Age-Defying Silky Cream from so many other similar face cream products on the market is what it doesn’t do. This is because, while so many skin treatment products contain powerful chemical additives to penetrate the skin and promote cellular activity, Sothys does none of this. This is because, this product functions on a layer of skin that so many other skin care product developers have completely forgotten about. The surface layer!

Sothys Lift Defense Age-Defying Silky Cream

Silky Cream Makes for Super Soft Skin

Thats right. Sothys Lift Defense Age-Defying Silky Creams active ingredients consist of antiglyskin, proteasyl, photopreventine and vitamin C. These are all mild active substances that function on the skins surface by saturating and infusing it, resulting in skin that is flexible, moisture laden and super soft to the touch.

Excellent Age-Defying Results Immediatly

No harsh chemicals, means no redness or adverse reactions. Also, unlike so many other newer skin care products that instruct you to wait weeks or even months for results, Sothys Silky creams deliver excellent results immediately. Of course there are other products that function in the skins lower layers on a cellular level but in the mean time, don’t forget that your skin has a top layer too that can use a little help.

Bioelements Pumice Peel

A Dead Skin Cell Layer is Dry and Krinkly

The cosmetic market is loaded down with any number of peels and defoliants that promise to deal with the surface issues that may be effecting your skin. Dead skin cells do, in fact, cover the surface of everyones body but do they really make any difference? The truth of the matter, is that on the face of someone with sun or age effected skin, a layer of dead skin cells can and will make a huge difference in the way that that that person looks. This is because a dead skin cell layer is stiff and krinkly and will cause wrinkles.

Results That Morning

Bioelements Pumice Peel is the only defoliant cream on the market that promises to not be gentle on your skins dry surface. Virtually all other defoliants promise to deal with your dead skin cell layer with kid gloves. However; this pumice crystal laden product is marketed as the “real deal” for people that want results that they can see and feel the moment they walk out of their bathroom.

Strips Away Dead Skin Cells / Treats the Fresh Skin Layer

Bioelements Pumice Peel immediately strips away dead skin cells and then its antioxidants, ginseng extract and hydrogenated polydecene skin emollient then go immediately to work treating and helping to rebuild the fresh new skin that has been exposed by the treatment. The results are soft glowing skin that is noticeably different from what is was just minutes before.

Cellex-C Enhancers Hydra 5 B-Complex

Hyaluronic Acid is the Skins Moisture Sponge

Cellex-C Hydra B-Complex contains possibly the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid of any skin care product that is currently on the market. Hyaluronic acid does basically one thing in your skin and that is that it functions to allow your skin to accept and retain fluids (moisture). Your skin naturally produces this substance but age and sun exposure can diminish its ability to do so over time.

B-5 Complex Softens the Skins Surface

The more moisture in your skin, the thicker and more flexible it is and these two things equal one thing and that is shallower, shorter wrinkles and less of them. The B-5 Complex in this clear, oil free product simultaneously works on the surface to render your skins epidermal layer soft and silky smooth. So, the combined effects of these two active ingredients is thicker glowing more flexible skin with fewer wrinkles.

Faster More Pronounced Results

There is one down side to this highly potent skin care product that you should be aware of and that is that it can cause minor skin irritation. However; due to it’s high level of potency, it will deliver visible results much faster then other similar product that you may have used in the past.

Use Once Daily

Murad Essential-C Daily Renewal Complex is the perfect skin treatment product to have on your side during your personal battle against the elements and the damage that they cause to your skin. Simply massage a thin layer into your skin once daily after it has been cleansed to infuse your skin with powerful antioxidants and also to leave it soothed from the effects of its Vitamin E.

Murad Essential-C Daily Renewal Complex

Stimulates Collagen and Elasatin

Other vital active ingredients contained in this skin renewal treatment product, include Retinyl Palmitate and Retinol. Both of these active ingredients are proven powerful collagen and elastin production stimulants. It is important to bear in mind though that once stimulated, it takes the skin at least a month before there is any noticeable increase in the level of collagen.

Repairs and Prevents Skin Damage

Clinically tested and proven, this product is fast becoming one of the most popular skin treatments currently on the market, with literally millions of users worldwide. One of the main reasons for this, is that not only does it repair skin damage but it is highly effective at preventing further skin damage when it it is used regularly.

Not all eyes are the same and the same goes for skin issues that can manifest themselves around each persons eyes. Therefor this is something that should be taken into account when choosing the therapeudic eye cream that best suits your particular situation.

Retinol for Crows Feet / B Vitamin Antioxidant Fights Free Radicals

Forte Skin Rejuvenation Eye Cream is augmented with retinol for increased positive results that begin almost immediately with the first treatment. Retinol has been shown over and again in multiple clinical examinations to be highly effective at reducing both the length and the depth of fine wrinkles in thin skin such as that surrounds the eyes.

M.D. Forte Skin Rejuvenation Eye Cream

At the same time, the powerful antioxidant properties of soluble vitamin B function to counter the skin damaging effects of free radicals. Free radicals are the skins absolute enemy and contribute heavily to premature aging.

Exfoliate for Soft Flexible Wrinkle Free Skin

Exfoliation is key in the thin skin that surrounds the eye. In thicker skin a layer of stiff dead skin cells is not so much of a problem. However; in the skin around the eyes a layer of dry dead skin cells will have a far more pronounced “crackling” effect that will result in crows feet wrinkles.

The 10% glycolic acid compound in M.D. Forte Skin Rejuvenation Eye Cream effectively dissolves away dead skin cells, not only on the surface but also on the walls lining the inside of skin pores. This product can be purchased separately or in the “Core System Kits.

A Special Anti-Aging Cream for Thicker Skin

Thicker skin such as the skin on the backs of hands presents its own special problems that aren’t to be found on the thinner skin of the face and this is why this uniquely formulated hand cream comes with a highly concentrated form of hyaluronic acid and Klein Becker’s patented peptide formula. In fact, Strivectin HC Ultra Concentrate Cream for the Hands is so concentrated that it will cause skin irritation if it is used on the face.

New Discoveries Lead to New Products

It was only after years of clinical research into the actual microbiological functions of the skin, that medical researchers finally were able to understand the dynamics of how skin ages and wrinkles. What was discovered, was that the actual cause of skin wrinkles was located below the skins dermal layer in an area now known as the Dermal Epidermal Junction.


StriVectin-HC Ultra-Concentrate Cream For The Hands

It was found that as people age, this area also known as the DEJ begins to become degraded and loses a measurable degree of its volume. Along with its volume being decreased, the connective fibers contained in it also become fatigued and elongated. These two negative factors combine to form the actual wrinkles on the skins surface.

Peptides are Key

Strivectin’s unique patented Peptide formula along with other active ingredients contained in its anti aging skin care products are chemically engineered to bypass the skins outer protective dermal layer. This allows the active ingredients to subsequently migrate to the skins lower sub dermal layers, where they can then function on a cellular level.

New Replacement Therapy for the Skin

Hyaluronic acid is a necessary component of your skin and it functions to allow your skin to effectively retain water. Without it your skin becomes thin, dry and more susceptible to wrinkling. Peptides have the effect of inducing the skin to produce and retain collagen and elastin particularly in the Dermal Epidermal Junction. Strivectin HC Ultra Concentrate Cream for the Hands is in fact, replacement therapy for these substances, that aging and sun damaged skin has lost the ability to produce in sufficient quantities.

Fillers

The beauty of fillers is that they can plump the face out in a way that a face-lift can’t. A face-lift can only pull the facial muscles up, together with the fat and skin covering them, whereas fillers replace the skin’s stocks of hyaluronic acid, the distribution and function of which change as we age leaving us with lines and wrinkles. The most widely-used fillers are Restylane, Hydrafill, and Perlane. Restylane also has two other treatments: Restylane Lipp, which plumps up age-deflated lips; and Restylane Vital, which counters the effects of sun damage and the natural aging process.

The fillers are safe, effective, and relatively long-lasting. And if you don’t like the results, they are easy to get rid of with an injection of the enzyme hyaluronidase.

Restylane, Hydrafill, and Perlane procedures cost from about $700 per treatment.

Firmers

If it’s not so much filling out but firming up that’s needed, then there are a few new treatments that can do just that. Thermage and Polaris work by applying controlled heat to existing collagen causing the skin to tighten and promoting the production of new collagen to plump it up. Thermage is carried out in one intensive treatment session, and some patients do experience a degree of pain, but only one treatment is needed and the effects can last for up to two years.

Named the best anti-aging treatment by New York Magazine in 2004, Polaris is regarded as a much gentler option, as not only does it require multiple sessions in order to achieve results, but is also reported by patients as being pain-free. Best for treating fine wrinkles, at least three sessions are recommended, although each session lasts no longer than 15 minutes.

Titan, the latest in the line of face firmers, can tighten and lift the skin on the face and neck, as well as on the abdomen, thighs, and underarms. Three treatments four weeks apart are recommended for maximum effect, with results lasting from one to three years.

Thermage costs between $1000 and $3000 to treat one area and between $2000 and $5000 to treat the whole face. Polaris costs about $700 per session. Titan costs between $1,000 and $2,000 per session.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to get younger looking skin is to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. This can be done quickly and easily through the process of exfoliation.

Here´s how to exfoliate your skin at home:

1. Visit your local drugstore and purchase a special loofah or exfoliation pad designed specifically for the face. You don´t want to use one made for the body as this would be too rough for your facial skin. Pick up an exfoliating cleanser designed especially for the face.
2. Moisten your face lightly with warm water.
3. Apply a small amount of the exfoliating cleanser to your exfoliation pad.
4. Gently rub your face with the exfoliation pad using a light, circular motion. This should always be done in a gentle manner to avoid irritating the skin and to prevent the tiny blood vessels under your skin from rupturing. If these vessels rupture, it can result in permanent facial flushing requiring laser treatment.
5. Do 3-5 rounds with the exfoliation pad on your face continuing to use a light, gentle circular motion. Avoid the eye area as the skin is quite thin there.
6. Rinse with warm water and apply a light moisturizer.
7. Admire the glow of your freshly exfoliated face in the mirror.

This one quick, simple procedure can really make your skin look younger. After exfoliating, your skin will have a more radiant look and a smoother feel. You makeup will go on more smoothly. There´s actually some thought that regular stimulation of your skin´s surface through exfoliation may help to promote collagen production which can promote skin firmness and reduce the signs of aging.

Blueberries, particularly wild blueberries, are extremely rich in anti-oxidants.

Anti-oxidants fight damage to the immune system caused by elements called free radicals. Free radicals are rogue oxygen molecules that run amok on a cellular level, aging us and causing disease. Anti-oxidants rid the body of these unwanted free radicals, and stop the immune system from “rusting”.

Anthocyanin is the main anti-oxidant found in blueberries. Anthocyanin makes blueberries blue and it gets most of the credit for protecting the brain from oxidative stress.

A stressed brain ages faster and is more susceptible to diseases like Alzheimer´s and cancer. Anti-oxidants, in removing the source of oxidative stress (the free radicals), allow brain cells to function optimally and maintain good health. Alzheimer’s disease is associated with a build-up of protein plaque cells in the brain. Scientists believe that these plaque cells result from oxidative stress. No oxidative stress, no plaque, no Alzheimer’s disease. That’s an over-simplification, but you get the picture. Eat your blueberries!

While regular consumption of blueberries can prevent you from getting Alzheimer´s in the first place, what benefit do they provide if you´ve got the disease already? Well, it turns out that blueberries can help in that instance as well. Studies have shown that eating blueberries regularly slows down the progress of Alzheimer´s disease and senile dementia. No wonder they´ve been called the “brain berry”.

Eating blueberries as part of a balanced diet can also reverse brain aging and improve short-term memory. Elderly lab rats fed a blueberry-rich diet showed improvements in memory, co-ordination and balance. They out-performed their blueberry-deprived counterparts and became, biologically speaking, much younger rats. Like the rejuvenated lab animals, humans need not lose their mental and physical faculties just because they’re older.

Unfortunately, blueberries alone are not a cure-all. It’s tempting to view the handful of berries you sprinkle on your cereal in the morning as a sure-fire inoculation against disease. Perhaps your cunning plan is to have some blueberries at breakfast and then continue to eat junk food throughout the rest of the day. Nice try! Mother Nature tends to frown on those who cheat. She may not punish you, exactly, but you won’t achieve optimum health on a diet of burgers and blueberries.

Eat a nutritious, balanced diet. Fuel yourself with fruits, vegetables, healthy grains, lean meats, and plenty of blueberries. Then you’ll reap the anti-oxidant brain benefits of blueberries for many years to come.

Women will often express their angry feelings to members of their families, especially their spouses, even if these people are not really the source of the problem. Feeling secure enough in their relationships to express their feelings is a positive step in dealing with anger, but some constraints are needed. Yelling, cursing and placing blame can alienate the other person and nothing is accomplished by such behavior. Children in particular can be confused when they are being yelled at when you are really mad at someone else. Uncontrolled expressions of anger can cause family problems.

Several physiological changes occur when you experience anger. The “fight-or-flight” response is activated. Adrenaline gets pumped up, the heart beats more rapidly, respiration becomes rapid and shallow and digestion stops. Experiencing frequent bursts of anger takes its toll on the body. It is a contributing factor to higher rates of heart disease, high blood pressure and other illnesses. If you have a Type-A personality, the effects can be even more harmful. Anger also affects your mental capabilities. It can slow down your problem-solving abilities and make it difficult to make decisions. Anger slows the thinking process and your ability to rationalize. It also adversely affects your energy and creativity.

Learning to deal with anger will provide both mental and physical benefits, and will also help to preserve and enhance the interpersonal relationships in your life. Hiding the rage and frustration that you feel does more harm than good. Keeping these feelings inside can chip away at your health and well-being. The solution is to get angry but do not stay angry. Take the time to cool off and identify the source of the problem. Getting angry is not as harmful as staying angry. If you deal with your anger in a quick and effective way, the damage to your health is minimal.

Women tend to stew over their anger for up to an hour before calming down. This is the time when the physical damage is done. To avoid focusing on your anger at times like this, engage in a physical activity such as going for a walk, riding a bicycle or swimming. Even house cleaning may take your mind off of your anger. Exercise helps burn off the adrenaline created by the “fight-or-flight” response, giving you the opportunity to think more clearly about how to deal with your angry feelings. Another solution is to take a break. Find a quiet spot to sit and practice relaxation techniques. Breathe deeply and think calming thoughts or picture yourself in a peaceful, soothing place.

Be aware of situations that you know may cause an angry reaction and try to avoid putting yourself in those situations. When something happens that provokes anger, try to put things in perspective and look at the positive side of the situation. Express your feelings without placing blame or telling others how they have failed in what they should have done. It is best to use “I” when attempting to tell someone how a certain situation made you feel. Using “you” can put others on the defensive. It can sound accusatory and may accelerate the argument rather than resolving it.

Try to associate with people who have happy dispositions rather than those who are often angry. Being around rational people who are able to find solutions to problems will improve your ability to do the same. Join groups and get involved in your community since anger can result from loneliness.

If you have trouble expressing your anger, learn to be assertive. It is often helpful to put your feelings in writing, especially if you are uncomfortable with face to face encounters. This also gives you the chance to consider carefully and rationally what you wish to express. You will feel more in control if you are not pushed into a sudden confrontation.

Expressing anger in a calm, rational way is an important aspect of your mental and physical health. Letting anger fester inside you will affect your life in many negative ways. On the other hand, letting rage take over and expressing it irrationally and without regard for the feelings of others will be harmful to you and your relationships. Learn to handle your feelings of anger constructively and calmly to keep your body, mind and relationships healthy.
