In a previous article I addressed the factors contributing to the aging of our skin. In this article I want to address the more popular topic of stopping and/or reversing the aging of our skin. Of course there is no such thing as the long sought-never found Fountain-of-Youth, but that doesn’t stop the claims of the modern day snake doctors.

There is no lack of products available to treat our skin. Some are “clinically proven” while others that have been around for ages have been proven through repeated use over long periods of time. Among the “clinically proven” we have alpha-hydroxy and beta-hydroxy acids; probably the best known of the bunch and both used as “peels”. Almost all of these products are acids,but I’m not sure that is relevant. Several of these substances act as bleaches to “whiten the skin. Some act as fillers. Some such as Retinol and the vitamins C, E, and K enhance the bodies ability to produce new skin and produce collagen and elastin. All of these work and most are safe except you do need to check the allergy info on any product you use, “clinically proven” or not.

“Clinically proven” excludes some really good stuff. Most everyone has heard of the enzyme CoQ10. The absence of this enzyme is a marker for aging so it makes sense to me to supplement it as we grow older. Collagen is used extensively by those seeking their elusive youth. Estrogen makes the news weekly. DHEA is one I have heard of ,but have found no research that impresses me. There is a lot of hype about green tea, but if it was good for your skin, seems to me all orientals would have great skin since they drink so much of it. Aloe Vera is a plant whose pulp has incredible healing power, especially in the case of burns. Tamanu oil is the South Pacific’s answer to Aloe Vera and the Melanesians invented pretty skin. Mexico has a tree that produces a similar product, but I would never attempt to spell it. Coconut oil is a great moisturizer and smells as good as anything out there. Try a little Melanesian skin care and and dream of sandy beaches in exotic places.  Read more...

You as a beauty lover always take the aging a major considering process. Undoubtedly, it is quite common for you to spend many sleepless nights just thinking about the effective solutions for this problem. You might also go with employing numbers of anti-aging products to obtain a skin that looks bright and young. However, here the question arises that do you really positive results in your reverse aging process with the usage of such products. Many experts consider these products as a viable alternative to help people make them look and feel young again.

Market is flourished up with numbers of suppliers of anti-aging products. Just invest your few minutes you can approach the one that deals in offering an exclusive range of products at the most affordable prices. For this purpose, most of the people like to spend most of their time over the internet world since they know that this is the platform where they don’t have to put their great efforts in finding the right supplier. Numbers of options of anti aging cosmetic products are available for those who have a deep desire to maintain their beauty for the longer time.

Most of the beauty experts say that merely using anti quality products is not enough for people to help themselves feel and look younger.

Apart from it, doing physical exercise and spending stress-free life on a regular basis can also play a major role in making people with aging problems beautiful and gorgeous both internally and externally.  Read more...

Telomeres are the structures at the end of chromosomes that are characterized by thousands of tandem repeats of the nucleotide sequence TTAGGG. Studies reveal that at every passing stage of human life these sequences of nucleotides shorten gradually during every process of cell replication and division. The length of the telomere faces gradual decline. This shortening of the telomere is believed to cause consequent cellular damage on account of the inability of the cell to duplicate itself efficiently. Hence we have a sequence of events from slowly progressing cellular dysfunction to subsequent aging phenomena finally leading to death.

The enzyme telomerase is responsible for maintaining the integrity of these telomeres. Chromosomes are crucial part of all our life functions and this integral part of the human system is maintained in aspects concerning its structural integrity, positioning and accuracy of replication by the telomeres. By adding multiple repeats of nucleotides to the telomeres, the telomerase enzyme prevents the damage and the loss of genetic information during DNA replication. Hence Scientist have come to this conclusion that telomerase is the key hormone that aids genetic repair and replaces telomere sequences consistently thus re-regulating the clock that controls the life-span of the dividing cells.

Telomerase is made up of a number of multiple protein components and a stretch of RNA that is used as a template to synthesize the short tandem repeats of DNA that are added to the end of the chromosomes. Telomerase appears to be the enzyme that stops the cellular clock of aging by providing additional DNA to the chromosomal length and enabling cell division to continue to proliferate and regenerate. Therapies are being fabricated that may help to prevent the deteriorating effects of aging by maintaining the length of our telomeres. This would strengthen and stabilize our basic DNA structure.  Read more...

Hundreds of thousands of people today around the world spend millions of dollars per yr trying to look younger. Searching younger is a lot more essential nowadays than ever prior to.

How several times have you been invited to some form of outing that truly sounded like fun, only to need to pass it by due to the fact you simply didn’t possess the energy for it? I’m sure I’ve. A lot of times, younger close friends have asked me to go golfing or hiking. I had to say no. I knew I would not be able to keep up with them and I didn’t want to sluggish them down.

Occasionally my wife and I used to go on bike rides together, but even a couple of miles drained me out. We wanted to ride lengthier, but rather, we would just turn around and go property.

There are so many fun activities we could appreciate if only we had the power of the youthful individual. Would not it be great to be able to enjoy ourselves like we did once we were twenty or 30 once more?  Read more...

Aging is a process that happens to all of us. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are from, or how much plastic surgery you can afford. Eventually time does take a toll on our bodies. The muscle tone under our skin begins to relax and lose its shape. The fat cells that kept our cheeks plump and full begin to break down and cause are jaws to droop. The habits and ways that we smile, furrow or brow, or frown begins to leave creases in our face as wrinkles and crows feet. Aging happens to all, there is no way to stop it from happening.

However, there is no reason for all of these things to begin to happen before they have to. There are things that can be done to keep our faces from becoming old and haggard looking before their time. This can be done by using anti-aging creams. These creams are specially formulated to give our skin the elasticity that it needs to stay looking young for a bit longer.

So when should a person consider starting to use anti-aging products. The truth of the matter is, the sooner that a person begins to use these products, the longer they can prolong the inevitable. Of course, there is no reason that they should be used as a child. Nevertheless, it would be wise for someone in their early twenties to start thinking about what they can do to help their face stay young. This may sound like it is to early to have to think about aging because twenty is still very young. The idea is that you help to stop the process before it starts. Most people will start to notice a change in the appearance of their face by the time they are thirty. This means that between twenty and thirty there is typically a great deal of aging that occurs. For this reason it would be wise to consider using anti-aging creams before the problem is already there in full bloom.  Read more...
