Beverly Hills Skin Care Tips: How To Have Skin Like The Stars

admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:42:41 +0000

How do all those rich and famous women from Beverly Hills stay looking so beautiful? Although some turn to expensive and potentially dangerous plastic surgery, many of these ladies use natural, simple and effective methods to stay looking young. Here are three of the best Beverly Hills skin care tips that can help you look younger and healthier no matter where you’re from.

Tip Number 1: Enjoy The Sun Responsibly

Despite what you seem to hear everyday about how dangerous the sun is, especially to your skin, the fact is we need some sunshine to keep our skin healthy. Yes, too much sun can be dangerous – so can too much of just about anything. Slathering yourself in too much sun-block or trying to avoid the sun altogether is just as bad. The ladies in Beverly Hills know that spending a bit of every day basking in the California sunshine is not only pleasant, but also healthy and relaxing. Just don’t overdo it. If you are going to spend more than fifteen minutes exposed to direct sunlight – then you’ll want to make certain you are using a bit of high SPF sun-block.

For the record, if you insist on having a real tan and are concerned about wrinkles down the line – develop it slowly in natural sunlight and avoid the tanning booths.

Tip Number 2: Why They Don’t Smoke In The Movies Anymore

In the old days, you use to see actresses smoking in the movies very often. Not anymore though. Of course we all know that smoking massively increases your risk of developing cancer – and that should be enough of a reason right there to avoid it. If you need a short term excuse to quit though, you should know that smoking damages your skin faster than you can imagine. As your body tries to flush the toxins out, your skin loses its natural glow, and the suppleness disappears, leaving wrinkles in it’s place.

In Beverly Hills, smoking has long-since fallen out of fashion. If you care about your skin health and overall health, don’t smoke – and avoid being around those that do. Second-hand smoke won’t help your skin either.

Tip Number 3: Don’t Stress Out

If there’s one thing the women in Beverly Hills are really good at, it’s relaxing. These ladies know that it’s important to take time out everyday to just kick back and take a time out. Too much stress causes chemical reactions in your body that can age your skin. If you want to avoid wrinkles for as long as possible, make sure you learn to take it easy too.

Some quiet time by yourself in the morning, a soak in the tub in the evening, a short walk during the day; any of these can bring down your stress levels, relax your body and help keep your skin looking young and healthy.

Coenzyme Q10 in Skin Care Products is Good Right? Wrong

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 21:07:21 +0000

Everyone knows Coenzyme Q10, (or CoQ10) is a great ingredient to find in your skin care products. If you look on the label of your anti aging product bottles it’s almost obligatory to see Coenzyme Q10 listed.

That’s why it’s there, because everyone expects to see it there, so if they do it sells. But is it good to see Coenzyme Q10 listed in the ingredients?

Hard question to answer, because it’s not easy to say. Yes and no. It depends. And that’s why it’s not sufficient to assume that if Coenzyme Q10 is listed on the ingredients list that’s good. Because it depends on a number of things.

What is Coenzyme Q10 and what does it do? It is a substance that is naturally made by the human body and is essential for the proper functioning of our cells. It’s like a vitamin, or what is known as an anti oxidant, and as we get older our store of CoQ10 starts to decrease. As CoQ10 is important to our skin health this isn’t good. As an anti oxidant it helps protect our cells against damage by free radicals.

And as free radicals are important factors in the aging process, we need good stores of anything that help protect us against them.

And it helps our skin molecules to function properly, and produce substances like collagen and elastin, both essential to skin health as well.

Our supply of Coenzyme Q10 starts to deplete with age, and stress, and other lifestyle factors like poor diet. And in particular Coenzyme Q10 is depleted when our skin is exposed to UV radiation. Ie it’s exposed to the sun’s rays.

So if it helps protect our skin cells from free radical damage and also helps produce useful skin substances, wouldn’t it be good to see Coenzyme Q10 listed on the label of the skin care and anti aging products we use?

Not necessarily. There’s some problems. Even if it’s to be of use to us it has to be there in sufficient quantities, and often it isn’t. Secondly it has to be present in a form that can penetrate the skin. Even if there is sufficient quantities in the product it’s no use if it can’t penetrate the skin and get to where it can do it’s work.

Otherwise it just sits on the surface of the skin.

How have the best skin care and anti aging companies overcome this? By producing a special version of Coenzyme Q10 called Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10. This is a type of CoQ10 that has tiny particle sizes that do get into the skin, and has been shown to increase the amount of collagen and elastin in the skin. This in turn has quite a significant effect on combating wrinkles.

And it can work it’s anti oxidant miracles once it’s got into your skin and can then help prevent skin damage.

Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 is extremely expensive, but if it works then there will be companies that will use it to produce the best, and most effective, anti aging skin care products that money can buy. But as these companies don’t spend stacks of money on marketing their products are cost comparable to the other products you’ll find on the shelves that don’t contain Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10, and aren’t very effective.

But as they don’t spend stacks on marketing, chances are you’ve never even heard of them, even though they produce the best anti aging and skin care products in the world.

So no, it isn’t necessarily good to find Coenzyme Q10 in your skin care products, but it is good to find Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10. But you won’t find it in mainstream skincare products on the shelves.

Natural Skin Care Tips and Skin Care Herbal Remedies

The skin is considered an organ of abolition as it excretes about one quarter of the body’s wastes through perspiration. The rationale behind considering the excretory organs as a whole when addressing skin health is that if one of the organs is overloaded, or not doing its job properly, it throws the whole system of excretion out of balance, placing greater stress on the other eliminatory channels.

Good skin is a likeness of inner health. Diet plays an important role in maintain the health of the skin. It is clear that Vitamin B plays a pivotal role in maintain a healthy skin. So diet that is rich in Vitamin B can go a long way in skin health. Several natural aids have been found helpful in promote healthy and beautiful skin. All the information related to Skin and Beauty care can be found in this section.

We also know that knowledge how to take care of your skin can be tough. That’s why we’re putting together a wealth of skin care information to help you find the answers you’re looking for. We’re not done yet but here is a taste of what’s to come.

# Apply sun block with a minimum of SPF15 daily. This will help prevent sunburns and protect skin from premature aging. Be sure to include sun-sensitive areas such as the ears, nose, cheeks, lips, and back of the neck, which are often neglected. Sun block should be used every day not just when out at the beach or by the pool.

# Reapply sun block as directed and remember – even if a sun block is waterproof that does not mean it is wipe proof. If swimming and towel drying you will be wiping off part of the sun block so be sure to apply after drying.

# Protect yourself and family from the sun’s most dangerous rays by planning outdoor activities before 10am and after 2pm. This will ensure that you are missing the sun’s most direct rays, since after 2pm sunlight is received at an angle, not directly above.

# Provide adequate shade when planning a long sun filled day at the park or beach. Bring an umbrella or sun tent to ensure little ones, as well as adults, have a cool place to escape the sunrays.

# Use dark or brightly colored clothing and hats to help prevent sunburn. You can now purchase specially designed UV protective swimsuits and clothing. It is not recommended to use white in the sun.

# Avoid indoor and outdoor tanning; both have been shown to drastically increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Opt for a tinted moisturizer for a light glow or a self-spray tan for full summer color without the danger.

Night Face Creams Should Be Part of Your Skin Care Routine

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:50:10 +0000

Want to look younger by day? Then you should be choosing among the quality night face creams to use. And, when you find one like I have, use it consistently and diligently.

Not only will a night face cream help you look better the very next day, but if you buy the right one, with powerful, natural and scientifically proven ingredients, you can make your skin’s appearance look smoother and softer over the months and years ahead.

Night creams should be rich in emollients and natural oils that don’t clog your pores. Although some of the best creams contain ingredients that sound like they will leave a heavy, greasy feeling on your skin, they shouldn’t.

Lastly, night creams should contain ingredients that can literally turn back the clock by countering the two major causes of skin aging, which are: 1) loss of collagen and elastin as we age (two vital skin proteins) and 2) free radical damage on skin cells (antioxidants that can penetrate into the skin are needed to counter this damage before it occurs).

The following are some of the natural and proven ingredients in the night face cream that I think is one of the best on the market. Some of these substances may also be available in other brands as well.

1) Shea Butter — a natural emollient and moisturizer. As such, it will soften up your skin overnight. With long term use, however, it can also help reduce age spots (brown spots on the skin); help minimize the appearance of scars and blemishes. And it also has a potent ability to fight skin inflammation.

2) Babassu – This incredible and natural substance comes from the Amazon. It has been used there for centuries for skin health. But now science is using it in high quality night face creams to help make the skin velvety-soft and smooth.

It also forms a barrier (not visible) that helps keep dirt and grime out of your skin, which is great especially while you are sleeping since no matter how much you clean your pillow cases, bed sheets, and blankets, there are always going to be a great deal of dirt particles, dust, and other things not visible to the naked eye that can get in your skin.

3) Active Manuka Honey. No, this isn’t like taking regular honey and rubbing into your face. This is a special type of honey that easily absorbs into your skin and is rich in antioxidants that help fight free radical damage before these free radicals do damage to your skin cells. While you sleep, active Manuka honey will soften up your skin

4) Cynergy TK — Get ready, this one is going to sound weird, but it’s one of the most fascinating, cutting edge and clinically proven ingredients you should look for in your night face cream. This natural substance is derived from a special type of New Zealand sheep wool. Sounds crazy, I know.

But studies show Cynergy TK is rich in keratin, which is a vital structural skin protein. Cynergy TK was pioneered by a New Zealand company to be functional keratin, which means it can be readily absorbed into the skin. Studies show it boosts collagen and elastin production in human tested volunteers, and also boosts skin elasticity and moisture levels.

You won’t tend to find these amazing substances in big name brand products. You have to do your research on the niche, elite, skin care companies that are pioneering a new generation of effective night face creams.

On my website, I reveal more of these natural substances.

Using 100% Pure Skin Care Products on Your Face and Body

admin — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:39:46 +0000

Taking care of your skin should be a priority for everyone who not only wants to look their best but also to achieve optimal skin care health. There are countless products on the market today that promise to offer to take years off your face and make you look years younger, the problem is they are full of chemicals that you really can’t see or smell but they can actually cause more age defying problems and dermatology issues later on down the road.

Finding 100% pure skin care products for your face is essential to optimal skin health and appearance. There are several places to look for skin care that contain all natural ingredients that won’t harm your skin or the environment.

Online Retailers Who Sell Only 100% Pure Skin Care Products

There are hundreds of different online retailers that specialize in selling only skin care products for your face and body. When you perform a search to find these retailers use keywords such as chemical free, pure skin care treatments and all natural skin care products. When you search with the right keywords you are more likely to find the type of skin care product that you are in need of.

Local Craft Shows and Fairs

You are probably thinking why in the world would I ever venture to a local craft show and walk the sidewalk to find skin care for my face? Chances are you are likely to find a vendor who specializes in making his or her own products entirely from scratch.

A homemade vendor is not going to dump chemicals into their products and will most likely use all natural ingredients and astringents such as herbs, butters and pure animal milk to create their products. This is a great way to try some home remedial skin care that all are natural and won’t harm or irritate your skin.

Your Favorite Cosmetic Counter at a Mass Retailer

Full of harmful chemicals and additives right? Wrong, not all of them are. In fact there are several new lines of skin care products that are making their debut that claim to be chemical and additive free! Simply ask the person behind the cosmetic counter if they carry any products that are 100% pure.

Taking care of your body and face is something we all need to think about, keeping harsh chemicals away from our body and replacing them with 100% pure skin care products is a great way to feel better and look better at the same time.

Interested in Natural Skin Care? Face the Facts

admin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:40:21 +0000

Are you interested in natural skin care? Face the facts. Skin care is a minefield and if you don’t get it right you can damage your skin, and your health, rather than help it.

Are you horrified to hear that you can damage your skin and your health? It’s sad to say but there are facial skin care and anti aging products on the market which contain ingredients which may be damaging to your health and your skin.

It’s not just facial skin care products. It can include a wide range of personal and beauty and body care products such as soaps, shampoos and cosmetics as well.

Give you one quick example. A recent study on well-known big brand lipsticks found lead in over 50% of the lipsticks tested. This isn’t unknown bottom shelf lipsticks but big brand names you may well be using today.

And it’s not restricted to lead in lipsticks. There are a wide range of suspect ingredients in many skin care products, anti aging products and cosmetics, some even “known to cause cancer”.

So if you weren’t interested in this before you may now start to show more of an interest in natural skin care. Face the facts and start to learn more about what’s in your personal products.

But notwithstanding the fact that the big brands may well have suspect ingredients, you’re still getting older and you’re still getting face wrinkles. What can you do about it?

Fortunately there are small niche anti aging companies that recognise the problems with the big name brand anti aging lines. They produce a wide range of natural skin facial care and facial products such as excellent face lotions and creams which use natural ingredients known to be both safe to use on your skin and effective in improving skin health.

In fact the best natural skin products are way more effective at producing a result you want than the big brand names.

Why is this? Because the big name companies direct most of their budget to marketing. You’re probably sick and tired of all those TV ads for the new latest and greatest antiaging product advertised by big name stars who’ve probably never used the product and to get paid megabucks to tell you how good it is.

It costs a fortune for all that TV advertising and these companies usually direct their budget towards marketing campaigns at the cost of product quality.

These small niche natural skin care companies cannot compete on marketing because they do not have the budget so they compete on product quality. They produce excellent quality products.

One in particular produces a new anti-aging line that is cost comparable with the big brands but which is totally safe to use and extremely effective. They are confident enough in both the safety and effectiveness of their products that they are willing to offer a money back guarantee to their customers.

Try getting that from one of the big name brands.

So if you’ve decided it’s time to consider natural skin care, face the facts. Natural anti-aging products are safer, more effective and cost competitive with the big brands. You can even try them risk free because of the money back guarantee.

Good natural facial skin care is available right now. It’s only available from a small range of niche companies, most of which you will never have heard of because they don’t advertise on TV. Despite that they make some of the worlds best anti aging products.
