Timeless Beauty

Hey, I just found a great anti aging skin care guide which is free for everyone to use. It's the ShopWiki Health and Beauty page with links to the Anti-Aging Skin Care Products Buying Guide . I found a good treasure trove of links and anti aging information there. To demonstrate, here's a good advice from the site: Ingredients to Look For: Antioxidants (Vitamin A, E, C, Polyphenols, Alpha Lipoic Acid , Beta-Glucan, Coenzyme Q10 ) Collagen Renewing Properties (Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Copper Peptide, Sea Kelp, Algae, Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid , Palmitoyl Oligopeptide) Emollients (Silicone, Oils and Butters, Acetyls, Glycerls, Cetearyl Alcohol , Stearic Acid, Dimethicone) Exfoliating AHAs & BHAs (Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids ) SPF ( Sun protection Factor ) Retinol (Stimulates cell renewal) There are more to be discovered at ShopWiki.

Hello guys! I'm baaaack! It's been a while since I last posted here. I hibernated, so to speak, but now I'm back with a vengeance. I have been practicing new anti-aging tricks lately. It's not enough that I am using a mild moisturizing facial wash to cleanse my face before and after a good night's sleep. I have also been using not just an astringent, but a skin toner which deep cleanses my skin's pores and tightens them. The reason for me going to such lengths trying to clean my face is that I've been using make-up lately. I know too much chemicals on one's face can destroy it sooner than later. I look young simply because I have avoided make-up for most of my adult life, but I don't think I can escape its use anymore. I am now 30 years old. Though my skin is not showing its real age yet, I have noticed a dullness and some darkening in my skin. To cover up the changes I have started using makeup. It's been fun choosing colors and applying them an...

We are used to thinking anti-oxidants as part of dietary supplements to slow down the aging process and keep one’s appearance healthy and younger-looking. But do you know one of the most active ingredients in the best anti-aging skin care products are antioxidants? Sources of antioxidants like Ascorbyl Palmitate (a form of fat soluble Vitamin C) and tea green extracts which contain catechin polyphenols have been used to manufacture the best anti-aging creams and serums, but the most potent of the six leading antioxidants is Idebenone. From the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, in a study done by a group of researchers who developed the first ever protocol to compare the efficacy of antioxidants on their effects on preventing free-radical skin-damage, Idebenone received a score of 95 out of a 100, which was the highest score among the six leading antioxidants. Idebenone is a synthetic analogue of a naturally-occurring enzyme called Coenzyme Q10 (Co Q10). Co Q10 is an important antioxidan...

Aging is not so scary if you think about it. A lined face may be a tableau for a well lived life. The creases around the mouth tell of a happy disposition; likewise with crinkling corners 'round one's eyes. Wrinkled folds between the eyes and on the forehead tell a different story, of course, but who hasn't got problems? Yet many of us still believe that the effects of age can be held back with science. Man-made formulas and modern medical procedures have been used again and again by those who want to look younger than they really are. With the large number of anti-aging methods available for consumers do we really know which is proven effective and which can be harmful to our health? Hi, my name is Marcie Keane and I'm a thirty-something woman searching for the best anti-aging skin care resources available today. Articles and reviews on popular anti-wrinkle creams and lotions and anti-aging serums and gels, posts on skin care and beauty tips from old wives' tales t...
