What is the best alternative to retinol for anti-aging?

There was one time when there was the scene of retinol anti-aging. Almost all anti-aging products can be found on the market contain this ingredient. But today there are some ingredients that may obscure the benefits of retinol.

CynergyTK is a good alternative, this ingredient when it comes to aging skin moisturizers. It is an ingredient that was made from sheep's wool. We are not aware that wool contains a generous amountfunctional keratin. This protein is the same protein that our hair, nails and skin regenerates collagen. As you get older, it becomes increasingly difficult for our bodies produce keratin. Therefore, we extended the missing functional keratin, to have a continuous supply of collagen.

What is great is that this drug is natural. Unlike retinol, no skin sensitive to light. They simply do not turn red when exposed to sunlight. Could also be agood alternative for pregnant women, the retinol will, more elastic skin. Pregnant women can not be used by.

By using this ingredient, there is no need products that match your skin is collagen synthetic can leave care. People with sensitive skin is waiting for something like this natural ingredient.

Another ingredient in skin care retinol may overshadow the benefits Phytessence Wakame. This is a type of seaweed often usedby the Japanese as an ingredient in sushi or as a mask. You have already discovered their wonderful skin care benefits.

This seaweed can effectively prevent the loss of hyaluronic acid in the body. This acid is essential for the lubrication of collagen. Collagen is very moist and well lubricated, it will not be easily damaged. Hyaluronic acid may be through the elimination of harmful enzymes that break their conservation.

You need a moisturizer with this lookIngredients, if you want a better method of resistance against the aging process. These ingredients are combined to achieve the best possible anti-aging effects.

To facilitate the search, also set your holiday nano HEQ10 Lipobelle to complete the line-up of ingredients. This is a type of antioxidant with very small molecular structure. Compared to other antioxidants, it penetrates more deeply into the skin to get rid of more harmful free radicals.

MyChelle The Perfect C Serum, .5-Ounce Bottle

MyChelle The Perfect C Serum, .5-Ounce Bottle Review


I want to start off by saying that there isn’t anything that I have tried so far of the MyChelle line that I dislike; there ARE a few products that I think are simply OK and perhaps not worth the price but I LOVE the majority of the line and can’t say enough great things about the company and their products! It’s a ‘clean’ line that avoids harmful or questionable chemicals and ingredients like most other lines contain and this line actually WORKS!! I DO notice a difference in my skin texture, even skin tone, pore size (I don’t believe that they can be shrunk but using this line makes them appear smaller), the small teeny wrinkle lines either are less obvious and in some cases have disappeared. The one area that it hasn’t made much difference are the lines in my neck so I’m still searching for something to help me there. In the meantime, I’m using MyChelle’s protocol for sun damaged skin for that area.

What I love about this Perfect C Serum is that within 2 days of using it, my skin appeared a bit more smoother both in tone (discolorations) and in texture – even immediately after washing my face so there was no product on my skin. I do tend to use more than most I would assume…I use it on my entire face – under eyes & eyelids to my neck and decollate` area. I’ve heard conflicting info from skin care companies in regards to layering serums…some say you can’t, that what goes on first gets penetrated and the rest doesn’t get absorbed enough to be worth putting on your skin after the 1st layer of serum and others say that it will penetrate through the skin but at a slower rate. MyChelle claims that you CAN layer your serums so I use the Perfect C in the evening first then layer it with the Firming Serum then follow with a moisturizer. In the daytime, I only use the Firming Serum with a moisturizer.

I have 2 compliants about this Perfect C Serum…one is that it’s simply too small. The other serums are sold in larger bottles at the same price range. This Perfect C serum is sold in the same size bottle as their Magnolia Fresh Eyes…so essentially you are supposed to use this serum on your entire face but yet you are only offered enough for your eye area. So essentially, it costs twice as much as their other serums in the long run…something is amiss there!

My other complaint is actually about Amazon. I want to start off by saying that I LOVE Amazon!!! For the past couple of years, about 90% of my purchases – besides food and clothing come from Amazon. I DO realize that at times some prices fluctuate but this WAS being sold on Amazon for .25 (since I was tracking it in Jan 2010) and as of today, 2/8/10, the price skyrocketed to a whopping MORE in ONE day! So now the price on this item is and change!! About 2yrs ago, I found it a convenience that most items that I purchased were either comprable in pricing OR that Amazon’s prices were lower than what I could find locally and at other online retailers. I can find this Perfect C serum for less than locally and when my local health food stores have their 15% – 25% off sales, then unless Amazon will lower back their price on this to the original .25, I’ll be buying it elsewhere and stocking up when on sale. Now granted, one item that I use on a regular basis that I have to pick up somewhere besides Amazon is no big deal but as I notice an item here and there having a price increase, then I won’t be able to justify keeping my Amazon Prime membership and may have to consider going back to the brick & mortar days of shopping. I HOPE NOT – I’m too much of an Amazon fan to eagerly make that change but a whopping increase for one item that I use on a regular basis that is too little of product to begin with is not settling well with me today. Hopefully Amazon will revert the pricing back…if so, I’d be more than happy to edit my review to note that Amazon (again) has the best pricing on this particular product…until then, YES! I do recommend this product but I’d suggest seeing if you can catch it on sale from a local store, MyChelle’s website or other online retailers as you CAN find it for less than . I go through this stuff too fast to spend that much on it. I think the reason why I’m so irked about this today is that I purchased this one sale locally and have a couple weeks worth of product left and was planning on purchasing it via Amazon’s Subscribe & Save program only to find out they increased the price. I felt compelled to write a review about it because I obviously wanted to share how wonderful this product was and also share that people can find it for less than …hopefully soon, Amazon will be one of the places where we can enjoy this at a more affordable price.

Why the 4 star review? Simply because of the small bottle size that MyChelle bottles & sells it at. If it weren’t for this, this would be a 100% 5 star product in my opinion!!! I’ll update any more changes in my skin as time goes on…

ETA: I spoke to a rep at MyChelle today to be certain that I’m using what is best for my needs in their skincare line and was told that their Perfect C serum is the most popular serum because people actually notice an obvious difference in their skin. When I told her that I noticed that the skin discolorations in my skin were less evident within just a few days, she thought it was due to the 17% Ascorbic Acid in it but said that she’s heard some wonderful claims from this product. I was told that it’s not suggested to use it anywhere near the eye area because this is so effective and the eye area is so delicate…I HAVE been using it in my eye area since I wanted it to ‘do it’s thing!’ and I told her that I have been using and my eye area seems to handle it just fine but she strongly suggested that I don’t for concern that it may too harsh for that delicate skin area.

Last tidbit: According to MyChelle company, you CAN layer up to 3 of their serums and will benefit from all 3 of them. Any more they say won’t get absorbed as well AND you’ll end up with ‘peeling dried serum’ since it would be too thick. She said the key is to only use very little if you choose to layer – she said she only uses 1 calibrated pump of each serum since she prefers to layer them.

***I DID beg for a lower price on this and / or a larger size for this since the size is the same as their eye gel yet the same price as other serums…she said she doesnt’ know of any plans to do so but she would note it in their customer feedback area…I would think that if enough people asked the same, MAYBE they’d consider it?? We can hope, right?

What is Photoaging? How Can We Cure It?


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Photoaging is a word thrown around in discussions of skin aging. This is a term used to describe the aging process that happens because of excessive sun exposure. When the sun’s UV rays penetrate the various layers of the skin, these rays break down the most important dermis components such as collagen and elastin.

These UV rays also speed up the deterioration of skin cells. When we are exposed to the sun, our body undergoes an oxidation process. This oxidation process results to the appearance of harmful free radicals. Free radicals attack skin cells in the body.

Experts have conducted several studies to prove that too much sun exposure can trigger photoaging. The study involved twins. One of the twins worked as an office employee while the other twin worked as a lifeguard. The one frequently exposed to the sun experienced premature wrinkles. Aging signs became more evident to the one who worked as a lifeguard even though they both have the same age and the same physical attributes.

Reversing the damages inflicted by the sun’s UV rays is possible. The first thing we should do is to protect our skin from further sun damage. Lotions and creams with sun screen are now available in the market. You should invest in those products with high SPF if you are frequently outdoors. The higher the SPF, the longer you can stay under the sun without receiving too much sun damage.

In order to bring back the youthful functions of the dermis, anti aging moisturizers should be used diligently. Pick a moisturizer loaded with natural ingredients. Some chemical-based ingredients make you more photosensitive. A good example of this is Retinol, an ingredient incorporated in most anti aging products. Because this is chemical-based, it can trigger photosensitivity.

Instead of Retinol, opt for something more natural such as CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame and Nano Lipobelle HEQ10. CynergyTK is an ingredient taken from sheep wool. It is an abundant source of functional keratin, a kind of protein responsible in the rapid production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are two vital skin components that can erase wrinkles and bring back the suppleness of your dermis. Phytessence Wakame, on the other hand, is a kind of sea weed that will protect hyaluronic acid from harmful enzymes. Hyaluronic acid lubricates collagen effectively so collagen will not be susceptible to damages. Nano Lipobelle HEQ10 is an antioxidant that can help get rid of harmful free radicals in the body. This antioxidant has very small molecular structure that gives it ability in penetrating all the layers of the skin. These ingredients can help reverse the effects of photoaging.

Green Cream Retinol – Level 6

Green Cream Retinol – Level 6 Review


I bought this green cream based on reviews I read on other sites. I have been using this cream for 2 weeks and so far I am very happy with the product. I used to use Retin A but it was very harsh on my face, it made it sting, redden, peel and become very sensitive to other products. This product while it does contain a retinol agent, does the job of exfoliating and bringing out fresh glowing skin without the irritation of other retinol products. I received a light peeling on my chin after 2 weeks of use, but it was easily remedied with a moisturizer. I have glowing skin and my fine lines are dramatically reduced. love this product.

Green Cream Retinol – Level 6 Overview

Green Cream High Potency Retinol is an effective treatment for the following conditions: – Fine lines & wrinkles – Acne & acne scarring – Age Spots & pigmentation – Minimizing appearance of pores – Repairing sun damaged skin cells – Improving skin tone & texture Green Cream 0.6% stimulates exfoliation of dull looking epidermal cells by accelerating skin cell turnover time from the standard 30 to 35 day cycle to 5 to 6 days causing the skin to appear smoother and brighter looking. Green Cream also repairs cellular structure damage gradually in the epidermal cells as well as in the dermal collagen and small blood vessels. This cream will even help shrink oil glands, which in turn reduces pore size and diminishes scars. One very pleasant effect of regular use is that Green Cream will held build “infrastructure” by stimulating new collagen and a new thicker, plumper epidermis. For sensitive skin types and people that want to ease into a retinoid regimen should start with our Level 3 strength high potency retinol. Though Level 3 is the mildest strength you can still expect to see visible results after a few months of daily use.

The Best Cellulite Cream – The Truth Exposed

Many people affected by Cellulite are now in search of the best cellulite cream. A topical cellulite cream is more reasonable alternative to other expensive medical procedures. But which is the best topical cellulite cream? There are lots of products that claim it to be superior. The truth is many of the cellulite cream available in market are cosmetic products. However a cosmetic cellulite creams simply mask the cellulite problem temporarily thus giving you no permanent relief. Many of the creams have no consistency in it.

How to select the best topical cream

Research and scientists say that, the cellulite cream is effective only when its ingredients have the capabilities to enter into the bloodstream and break down fats cells and connective tissues. But most of the cosmetic cellulite treatments just work on the upper skin rather inside the tissues and bloodstream.

Experts believe that the best cellulite cream that contains natural ingredients with Retinol A can help in removing cellulite. Retinol A increases the production of collagen and elastin to improve skin thickness and elasticity that improves the quality of connective tissues thus helping in removing cellulite. However Retinol A may not be much effective if it used alone. It has to be used with other natural ingredients like caffeine, algae extract, capsicum extract, green tea extracts, shea butter, horsetail extract and other natural oils. Natural ingredients and Retinol A combined together are more effective in breaking down the cellulite.

These natural ingredients improve blood circulation by breaking down fat cells. When these ingredients are mixed with Retinol A and other natural ingredients mentioned above, you could easily remove cellulite. The best topical cellulite treatment therefore is always that has natural ingredients. Only a natural product can be safe and without side effects.

One such product is the Revitol Cellulite lotion. The Revitol Cellulite Treatment is a natural product that removes cellulite naturally and rejuvenates your skin within weeks. Furthermore Revitols cellulite solution includes the best proven ingredients that have documented to successfully remove cellulite for good.

A Chemical Peel Can Make You Look Like A Celebrity In 1 Minute


Image : http://www.flickr.com

You see all those beautiful celebrities in TV, movies and magazines and wish you could look just as beautiful as them. Just as beautiful as Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie are.

You think that is impossible, right?

But, what if you could?

Well, it is possible to get that beautiful skin by something called a TCA peel.

Facial peel treatments have been done for almost 4.000 years starting with the ancient Egyptians.

Face peel products these days come as light, medium and deep peels.

The light skin peel products are products based on glycolic. AHA or lactic containing products and light peels can only provide a super-ficial improvement to your skin and gives only a refreshed look.

If you have real skin problems such as acne, wrinkles, coarse/rough/dry skin, crow’s feet, deep forehead lines, blemishes, blotches, un-even skin or un-even skin color, liver and age spots then you need a facial peel with something called TCA peel.

This kind of peel has been used for 50 years and is the most effective way of solving your skin problems. Though you may desire repeated treatments with 4 weeks apart then after just 1 face peel you will notice that your skin has improved dramatically.

Wrinkles have softened or disappeared. Acne has been reduced or gone altogether. Blemishes and blotches have improved and also other skin problems will have improved significantly.

How do you use chemical facial peel?

It’s quite easy. First you clean you skin and remove excess oil whereafter you apply the solution to the area you wish to treat and after a minute you rinse off with water. You could apply several layers but if it is the first time you use a chemcial peel then start with 10% TCA.

You can repeat a chemical peel every 4 weeks and will get further improvements each time.

If you just start out with TCA peel then just use 10% to see how your skin reacts. If you have sensitive skin or have used Accutane within the last 6 months then 10% TCA is a good starting point in order to make your skin get accustomed to the TCA treatment.

After a peel then your skin will be renewed and look younger and better than your old skin and will actually be slightly thicker than your old skin due to increased collagen production.

When you have used 10% TCA a couple of times then you can move up to 15% for a couple of treatments and later up to 25%. You could go as high as 35% but make sure that you followed the suggested regiment to be absolutely sure that you get the desired results.

It is important that you follow this regimen since a few individuals have sensitive skin and reacts stronger to any peel products. That is entirely avoided if you start at 10% TCA and then slowly build up. This way your skin gets accustomed to the peel and get stronger and then it is entirely safe.

Learn the Truth About Skin Care For Men

In today’s glamorous world where women are striving hard to look prettier and have perfect skin, men are no longer behind in the quest. Although it is a misconception that skin care for men is non essential and men who use skin care products are often ridiculed as heterosexuals, men are becoming more aware of the fact that their skincare is just as important as any woman’s.

There is however a slight difference in men’s and women’s skin texture because of the male hormones that make their skin a little tougher than a female’s and since it is subject to heat and dust, more than women’s – their skin is more prone to acne, blemishes and aging signs. This article will give tips on skin care for men.

Men usually couldn’t care less about their skin texture, skin type and complexion; and this can lead to disastrous problems if not treated in due course of time. So, the truth is for the prevention of premature aging signs and many other problems, skin care for men is as essential and an important part of their life.

Although men should follow a complete skin-health practice, men’s skincare is slightly different from that of a women’s. They can still use the same cleansers, moisturizers and toners as fit for women, however there are some products especially made for men which suit and cure their problems in a better way. These include creams for shaving, after-shave lotions and gels.

No matter what product you are using, the most important question is still which ingredients are present in them. It is has been scientifically proved that natural products are more effective and less harmless for the skin and the duration of their benefits are prolonged.

Some organic ingredients are CoQ10, antioxidants such as Retinol and Beta Carotene, and other naturally occurring substances like Phytessence Wakame and Cynergy TK. Their presence in the product confirms its effectiveness. However, they should be present in the product in reasonable quantities; if they are present in a little amount the product will have little or no effect at all.

Since male skin is more subject to outside conditions like sun and dust, they should properly wash their face to remove the day’s dirt and oil. People who do not wash their face suffer from pimples and blemishes. A good soap-free face wash that suits your skin type is an ideal choice for a nicer skin.

Shave after washing your face thoroughly to avoid injuring your skin. Never use the shaving cream that causes redness or itching, instead try to find shaving products made of totally natural ingredients. Always use after shave lotions but avoid ones with alcohol and fragrances as these substances are not good for skin health, especially when the pores are open. They may cause severe itching and a rash.

Follow these tips and lead a life with healthier, fresher and younger skin.
