Desiring a Dream Lift

March 17, 2010 · Posted in Aging · Comment 

Unfortunately for us, the natural course of aging takes away the smooth, firm and elastic skin of our youth. As we get older, when the natural collagen and elastin - which provides structure to our skin, and hyaluronic acid - that which promotes skin volume, vitality and hydration, in our skin diminish, the dreaded wrinkles start to appear. And then consider the other predisposing factors: lack of nutrition, over exposure to the sun, ailments, injuries, smoking, and overall lifestyle. We haste to add genetics, too.

A simple, healthy lifestyle works miracles, but at one point in time, when ageing takes its toll, when frown lines, brow lines, crowsfeet and other unwanted facial lines become annoyingly evident, you have to trust the fate of your once fabulous skin to your cosmetic surgeon.

Ah, of course you know what science can do these days – that is if you have been seeking for wonder remedies anyway? The advent of new forms of facial rejuvenation requiring no surgery, such as the revolutionary injectable wrinkle treatments and skin fillers, have added new dimensions to the field of cosmetic dermatology.

Injectable skin and wrinkle fillers are exceptionally effective because they increase tissue volume, reduce wrinkles and generally improve the skin’s overall contour. Aside from the immediate, noticeable results, these treatments are also proven to be naturally safe.

This is a breakthrough for those people that want the keep their youthful looks but are fearful of the effects of surgerical treatments. Celebrity based magazines have of course not helped in this area with many stories over the years of how surgery has gone bad for the movie stars that so many look to for the latest in fashion and beauty.

So how does this safer beauty treament work?

Dermal fillers are substances that are injected just below the surface of your skin to naturally bind with the water in your skin and replenish the supporting elements. This way the lines, wrinkles and scars are filled from the inside out. The result is a firmer and smoother skin, restored to its more youthful appearance.

The sensation about all these is clearly evident on our favorite fifty-ish performer Madonna. In true form, she is leading the way, telling us all to get a new face and embrace gorgeous ageing as a choice.

Madonna is happy to admit to having had work done and is not to hush up on her regular appointments with her London-based cosmetic surgeon for the treatments called “dream lift.” Rather than the classic face lift, the dream lift uses non-invasive injectable treatments to reduce wrinkles and restore volume.

Dream lift includes a face treatment that uses hyalunoric acid which is not animal based and requires no patch testing. The hyaluronic acid, described by doctors as “the key to the foundation of youth,” come in the form of a clear, biodegradable gel which is injected into the dermal layer of skin to have an immediate smoothing and plumping effect on the skin tissue.

Injectable wrinkle treatments are super subtle but highly effective in rolling back the years. By doing all these minimally invasive things, Madonna still looks gorgeous and makes most 20-year olds look inferior.

How to Find the Best Anti-Aging Skin Creams

March 16, 2010 · Posted in Aging · Comment 

You can find the best anti-aging skin creams by using the process of trial and error. Or, you can rely on advice from friends. Or, you can do a little research about effective ingredients and look for them on the label. The information here will help start your research.

Using the process of trial and error is not very safe, especially if you have had any adverse or allergic reactions in the past. If you do decide to use a product, without first checking to see if it contains known allergens or irritants, you should test it daily for at least a week on an inconspicuous area of the body.

Allergens in anti-aging skin cream rarely cause irritation right away, unless the ingredients are very harsh. In most cases, it takes some time for the ingredient to build up in the skin’s layers and cause irritation.

There are some products on the market that will not cause allergic or adverse reactions, because they contain no allergens, irritants or toxins. The ingredients are nutrients, like coenzyme Q10, plant-based oils like grape seed and extracts from plants like wakame kelp.

Actually, the best anti-aging skin creams contain coenzyme Q10, grape seed oil and wakame kelp, as well as other nutrients that are known to assist in the skin’s natural rejuvenation processes. Protein is a nutrient that is very important to the skin’s health and appearance. But, the typical anti-aging skin cream contains the protein collagen, which is not beneficial, at all.

Collagen is the structural protein that makes up the elastic fibers located far beneath the skin’s outer layers. If applying more collagen would increase the number of elastic fibers that the body produces, there would be no need for collagen injections. But, it doesn’t work that way. The protein cannot penetrate that deeply.

The best anti-aging skin creams contain the protein keratin, which makes up the majority of the skin’s outer layers. It can be absorbed into the skin’s cells and used by them to absorb water and for other purposes. Research has shown that the active form of the protein keratin, when applied topically, stimulates the production of new cells and fibers. It improves the skin’s firmness and elasticity.

By increasing the number of new skin-cells, anti-aging skin cream containing the active keratin protein complex will increase the number of antioxidants within the skin’s layers. Antioxidants are important for preventing and reversing the effect of free radical molecules.

Free radicals are naturally present within the cells, but normally they do no harm. As we age, however, their numbers increase, while the number of neutralizing antioxidants decreases. So, the radicals begin to damage the cellular membranes and eventually the DNA strands. This kind of damage is the primary cause of all of the signs of aging.

The active keratin formula has also been shown to inhibit inflammation. So it is beneficial for rosacea and redness. Only the best anti-aging skin creams will contain the ingredient. They may cost a little more, but if you want results, they’re worth every penny.

Valerie Rosenbaum has spent years searching for the best skin firming product available. The skin firming cream she dicovered uses a proprietary blend of all natural ingredients like Cynergy TK and Functional Keratin. To learn more visit her website http://www.DefendYourSkin.com
