		<description><![CDATA[<p>The normal changes of aging are inevitable as we all know but would like to forget. However, between skin rejuvenation products, nonsurgical facial treatments, and hair care products, it&#039;s easy for women  to enhance their natural beauty as they mature. Remember that as we age, our skin doesn&#039;t produce new cells as quickly as it previously did. Skin gradually becomes less elastic and more prone to dryness. Stress, gravity, and obesity also affect how well skin looks. And the years of of sun exposure, smoking, diet, and heredity become evident on our skin as we get older. However there are a  few simple steps are all you need to care for your skin as you get older.<br />
<span id="more-315"></span>Good nutrition helps the body repair skin and vitamin B will help keep the grey at bay. For women over 50, over-the-counter creams and lotions may enhance natural beauty by rejuvenating your skin. Pentapeptides, a chemical compound in many new products, may help prompt skin cells to produce more collagen, which is the support structure that gives skin a firmer look. And many are turning to Botox injections which can ease wrinkles in the  face. In additon to Botox, chemical peels are effective in removing fine lines and smoothing skin, especially around the eyes and mouth. And don&#039;t neglect wrinkle fillers which can plump up your skin and erase lines. Laser resurfacing is another technique that allows doctors to improve sun-damaged skin, scars, and other facial problems. Microdermabrasion erases ultrafine lines, rejuvenates your complexion, and improves skin tone and color.</p>

Microdermabrasion erases ultrafine lines, rejuvenates your complexion, and improves skin tone and color.</p>
<p>Aging causes something to happen to the cells that give our hair its color, as well. Hair pigment cells become less efficient at regenerating themselves, which will make hair turn gray. Thus far, modern science has not yet found a cure for gray hair. All the same a colorist can work wonders, if you don&#039;t like your gray but many people think that naturally going gray is beautiful. Women who want a solid, darker color should realize it&#039;s going to demand regular upkeep as the color grows out.</p>
<p>Your personal preference should guide your hair style. Don&#039;t feel compelled to go to short hair just because you&#039;ve turned 50. A shorter hair cut gives more volume to thinning hair and color is also good for giving volume to fine, limp hair. Sometimes the right product, like a volumizing shampoo, can solve the problem. Hair extensions can  help give a boost to thinning hair.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>The traditional face-lift&#039;s popularity is drooping, and down about 20% since 2000. Leery of the wind-tunnel look, a long recovery period and a $15,000 bill, patients are choosing subtler, cheaper and less painful procedures. A eyebrow lift, for example, smooths deep furrows in the forehead and  drooping eyelids can be corrected at the same time by removing extra skin, fat or muscle from the upper and lowereyelids. Results usually last about five years. You can do a lot to maintain that youthful look without resorting to a formal face-lift. Baby Boomers are starting the process earlier, and they are careful about scheduling the necessary regular maintenance much like they would with their luxuary cars.<br />
<span id="more-267"></span><br />
There&#039;s a new touch called &#034;The Thread Lift&#034;. A tiny thread is inserted under the tissues of the face. Barbs on the thread lift sagging skin when  tiny teeth on the thread&#039;s other end anchor the skin to facial tissues. Done under local anesthesia, the procedure is good for about a year. There is a downside since threads sometimes snap on one side, causing the face to fall. You may look like you&#039;ve had a stroke until you can be fixed, and that likely will require surgery.</p>

Larger amounts of this vitamin need to be supplied through diet or supplementation as it does not get absorbed very well.</font></div>
<p>Skin Calling:  Pure-Plant and Vitamin Topical Solutions for Youthful Skin
</p>
<p>
In today&#039;s busy, stressful and at times rat race world, women and men are aging before their years.  The next time you reach for that cigar or ette, try reaching for your skin care regimine instead.  It not only satisfies your hand to face auto-reflexes but it satisfies your oral fixations as well.  You&#039;ll be smiling alot more and probably kissing more face!</p>
<p><span id="more-167"></span>
<p>Antioxidants:<br />
 Scientists believe we all can prevent disease and aging by attacking the issues (or tissues) at the cellular level.  Serial, these guys know what they are talking about.  They truely know more than anyone else on this planet.  This is their life&#8230; scientific research.  Day-in and day-out. Many hours, months and years are spent in their laboratories.  What they find most and report in their findings are the need to focus on health, wellness and the preventative measures (avoiding all costs)and are winning the battle on degenerative diseases.  Simply, they know the answers to fighting and detroying the &#034;free radicals&#034; (harmful cellular by-products) we face on a day-to-day basis.</p>
<div style='float: left; width: 100px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px; background-color: #FFFF99;'><font size=1><font color='#000000'><b>Vitamin B Complex</b></font> Patients suffering from pernicious anemia are treated with a regular dosage of vitamin B12 injections. This is due to the fact that they are unable to absorb sufficient vitamin B12 from their dietary food sources and therefore require intramuscular injections to aid absorption.</font></div>
<p>No matter what you do or don&#039;t do, they get ya.  Those damn freebies!  Scientific research has proven that antioxidants provide a very effective and powerful tool to our on-going beauty system.  As we age our metabolism&#039;s slow down and so do our renewal of healthy cells.  Old and dead cells slowly build up.   Vitamins and nutrients become vital necessities.  You will see Vitamin-C in many skin and beauty products on the market today. ie: Lancome&#039;Paris. The Make-Up of  France are one of the first to add Vitamin-C to their product lines and famous brandings.  True product knowledge.</p>
<p>Enriched Pure-Plant Extracts:<br />
 Everyone would like a life full of enrichment.  Start enriching your life, today.  Really, Who faces your life every day? Your face.  So take care of it.  Now.  Or at whatever age you are. It&#039;s never too late.  The natural flower botanicals, leaves and olive oils of pure-plant extracts when combined with the above antioxidants is purely perfected skin.</p>
<div style='float: right; width: 100px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px; background-color: #FFFF99;'><font size=1><font color='#000000'><b>Vitamin B Complex</b></font> Along with Folic Acid and Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6 (parts of the Vitamin B Complex group) has been shown to help the body reduce  homocysteine, an amino acid-like compound that is being studied for its relationship to an increase in heart disease.</font></div>
<p>Exfolliating Loofah Gloves:<br />
 Imagine embarrassing acne most of your teen years and it&#039;s still hanging around in adulthood?  Yikes!  You have to try these gloves out.  They are softer on your skin then the spa&#039;s (rough and ready) versions and you can do it at home every night. Loofah Gloves are designed with a special mesh material that grooves and gets under all your different facial cells and fine lines removing  dead cells and rejuvenates your skin like new. Kiss acne good-bye, forever.</p>
<p>Hydrating Toners &#038; Perfecting Cremes:<br />
 1+1=2. Daily vitamins and nutrients inside you, plus vitamins and nutrients outside you equals total beauty in and out. Revolutionary dermal products can both soothe and hydrate plus moisturize, soften and combat harsh environmental effects.</p>
<p>Gina Bucci has finally found success in beautiful skin. Living at the beach for 30 years she has learned there is way more to do for your face then sunscreen! Gina highly recommends:<br />
 &#034;Sense&#039;~ Beautiful Science!&#034; All natural products.  Order Sense&#039; Today and Look Hella Good Tommorow! <a target="_new" href="http://www.olivegrapes.usana.com">http://www.olivegrapes.usana.com</a></p>

<p><strong>Beauty Supplements &#8211; Prevent Wrinkles, Not Just the Appearance Of Them</strong><br />
Choosing antioxidants to supplement your regular skin routine is an approach that has been validated scientifically.

Antioxidants stop the breakdown of collagen and elastin by free radicals.</p>

<p><strong>Beauty Supplements &#8211; Prevent Wrinkles, Not Just the Appearance Of Them</strong><br />
Choosing antioxidants to supplement your regular skin routine is an approach that has been validated scientifically. A study by French scientists found that woman taking vitamin C, vitamin E, and betacarotene had 23% fewer new wrinkles, and a reduction in existing wrinkles of 8%. Antioxidants stop the breakdown of collagen and elastin by free radicals.</p>
<p><span id="more-128"></span>Foods with the highest levels of antioxidants, as measured by the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbence capacity), listed from the highest: prunes, raisins, blueberries, kale, cranberries, spinach, raspberries, brussel sprouts, plums and broccoli.</p>
<p>Vitamin A is another important nutrient for the skin. A deficiency in vitamin A will reduce the effectiveness of skin treatments. Vitamin A is needed for the normal growth and renewal of skin cells. Our skin cells are constantly replacing each other, and new ones are pushed up to the surface as the old ones slough off. Not only is vitamin A an antioxidant, but it also nourishes the fat layer underneath the skin. Vitamin A keeps skin supple, and may prevent skin damage.</p>
<div style='float: left; width: 100px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px; background-color: #FFFFCC;'><font size=1><font color='#000066'><b>â€¢</b></font> Over the years, beauty experts and skin doctors have come up with a vast array products to treat and minimize wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle creams and ointments help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.</font></div>
<p>Symptoms of vitamin A deficiency include dry and rough skin, localized breakouts, fragile skin, wrinkle prone skin, poor skin texture, and splitting nails.</p>
<p>One thing to remember with taking vitamin A supplements is not to exceed the recommended daily dose, as it can build up in your body if taken in excess. Taking 10000 IU per day is fine.</p>
<p>Vitamin C is another important beauty supplement. Not only does it help in skin repair by building collagen, but lower levels of vitamin C in the skin are associated with aging and UV damage. Taking 500mg to 2000mg per day, in divided doses, is recommended.</p>
<p>An excellent antioxidant supplement to take is alpha lipoic acid (ALA), especially if you&#039;re taking the other antioxidant vitamins C and E, and coenzyme Q10. Alpha lipoic acid is not only an antioxidant in its own right, but it has the capacity to recycle these other antioxidants. Alpha lipoic acid is also an anti inflammatory agent, and improves insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is associated with obesity and heart disease. ALA increases the rate at which glucose is removed from the bloodstream, and helps the body detoxify metals that have accumulated. Alpha lipoic acid also prevents the cross linking of fibers, which leads to aging and the development of wrinkles.</p>
<div style='float: right; width: 100px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px; background-color: #FFFFCC;'><font size=1><font color='#000066'><b></b></font> Dermatologists are advising people who have few, shallow wrinkles to use moisturizing creams and sunscreen. However, more and more people are looking for more advance technology in erasing the signs of ageing.</font></div>
<p>Alpha lipoic acid is produced by the body, but only in small amounts. It is used by the cells in their production of cellular energy, and we only benefit from its antioxidant effects if the amount of ALA in our bodies is greater than that which our cells need for normal functioning. And, unfortunately, the levels of ALA in our body decline as we age.</p>
<p>One advantage of alpha lipoic acid is that it is both fat and water soluble. This means it can work in all parts of our body, making it very versatile. Most antioxidants are either fat or water soluble, but not both. For example, vitamin A is fat soluble, and vitamin C is water soluble.</p>
<div style='float: left; width: 100px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px; background-color: #FFFFCC;'><font size=1><font color='#000066'><b></b></font> When the dermal layer becomes thin, it produces less collagen and elastin fibers. These causes wrinkles and make skin sag.</font></div>

Yes, again your mother was right! The compounds in leafy green vegetables known as lutein and zeaxanthin increase hydration and elasticity. In addition to this surface lipids of the skin increase while protecting against lipid oxidation. This is real skin miniaturization from nature.  Italian researchers recently studied women aged 25-50 who received 10 mg of an oral supplement of lutein and zeaxanthin, a 50-part-per-million a topical lutein and zeaxanthin formula, a combination of oral and topical lutein and zeaxanthin, or a placebo for 12 weeks. Compared to placebo, lutein and zeaxanthin administered orally, topically, and both orally and topically were associated with improvements in skin elasticity skin hydration,<span id="more-119"></span> and superficial lipid levels, as well as a reduction in skin lipid oxidation. Combined oral and topical lutein provided the greatest overall benefit, resulting in a 60% increase in skin hydration, a 20% increase in skin elasticity, a 50% elevation in superficial lipid levels, and a 65% decrease in skin lipid peroxidation.<br />
The study contributes to previous findings suggesting that regular ingestion of lutein may help improve the skinâ€™s antioxidant defense system, which helps protect against damage caused by the sun and artificial light. Lutein and zeaxanthin are commonly ingested as nutritional supplements for eye health.</p>

<p>This is the first study to determine the impact of lutein/zeaxanthin alone on the human skin and provides strong new evidence of luteinâ€™s positive role in slowing the aging process of skin and promoting skin health and appearance by increasing hydration, elasticity, and lipid content.<br />

<strong>Wrinkles &#8211; How To Eliminate Them And Look 10 Years Younger!</strong><br />
<b>What Causes Wrinkles?</b></p>
<p> <b>As a person gets older, their skin undergoes significant changes: </b></p>
<ul>
<li>The cells divide more slowly, and the inner layer of skin (the dermis) starts to thin.
<li>Fat cells beneath the dermis begin to atrophy (diminish).
<li>The underlying network of elastin and collagen fibers, which provides scaffolding for the surface layers, loosens and unravels.
<li>Skin loses its elasticity. When pressed, it no longer springs back to its initial position but instead sags and forms furrows.
<li>The sweat and oil-secreting glands atrophy, depriving the skin of their protective water-lipid emulsions. The skin&#039;s ability to retain moisture then diminishes and it becomes dry and scaly.
<li>Constant facial expressions also form characteristic lines.
<li>Gravity exacerbates the situation, contributing to the formation of jowls and drooping eyelids. (Eyebrows, surprisingly, move up as a person ages, possibly because of forehead wrinkles.)
<li>In addition, the ability of the skin to repair itself diminishes with age, so wounds are slower to heal.
 </ul>
<p> <b>Also, many other factors can cause your skin to wrinkle and wear out, including :</b><span id="more-112"></span></p>
<div style='float: left; width: 100px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px; background-color: #FFFFCC;'><font size=1><font color='#000066'><b></b></font> Eating fresh foods will also help as they can contain large amounts of antioxidants that are good for the appearance of the skin and leading a less stressful lifestyle can also help. </font></div>
<ul>
<li><b>Sunlight</b>  damages collagen fibers (the major structural protein in the skin) and causes accumulation of abnormal elastin (the protein that causes tissue to stretch).  Enzymes called metalloproteinases are produced and can repair the damage for the most part.  Repetition of this rebuilding process over and over again causes wrinkles.
<li><b>UV radiation from the sun</b> also promotes oxidation, the release of damaging and unstable oxygen-free radicals. Oxidation contributes to wrinkling, possibly by activating the metalloproteinases that degrade connective tissue.
 </p>
<li><b>Cigarette smoke (Smoking) :</b></p>
<ol>
<li>causes thickening and fragmentation of elastin, which are the elastic fibers that are long and smooth in healthy skin.
<li>diminishes the level of estrogen in women to cause dryness and disintegration of skin tissues.
<li>reduces the amount of oxygen supplied to the skin by reducing circulation.<br />
 -leads to a decrease in the formation of collagen, the skin&#039;s main structural component, and may reduce the water content of the skin.</p>
<li>compromises the skin&#039;s ability to fend off free radicals, the highly reactive substances that are present in tobacco smoke that cause cell damage.
 </ol>
</p>
<div style='float: right; width: 100px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px; background-color: #FFFFCC;'><font size=1><font color='#000066'><b>?</b></font> It is very important to moisturize the skin to lower the chances of wrinkles at a very young age. As we age we will definitely get wrinkles, the only thing we can do is slow down the process and minimize the damage.</font></div>
<p>
<li><b>Air pollution</b> &#8211; Ozone, a common air pollutant, may be a particular problem for the skin. One study reported that it might deplete the amount of vitamin E in the skin (an important anti oxidant).</p>
<li><b>Rapid weight loss</b> can also cause wrinkles by reducing the volume of fat cells that cushion the face. This not only makes a person look gaunt, but can cause the skin to sag.
<li><b>Heredity</b> &#8211; you may have inherited some of your skin characteristics from your parents.
 </ul>
<p> The skin only needs to be poorly moisturised for it to dry out and become lined. In other words, the appearance of wrinkles and loss of firmness.</p>
<p> Wrinkles and fine lines are the most easily visible signs resulting from the obstacle course the skin has to face. Helped along by the sagging of the tissues, these wrinkles and lines result in the formation of a type of canvas covered with cracks of varying depths.</p>
<p> As time goes by, they deepen, reaching the dermis, which is the skin&#039;s supporting mattress. When the dermis loses its elasticity, it becomes slack and deeper wrinkles begin to form. These wrinkles are more than 0.05 millimetres in depth, therefore they are the longest and widest.</p>
<p> <b>Things you can do to minimize wrinkles</b></p>
<p> Although everyone tends to get wrinkles as they age, there are a number of things you can do to reduce the wrinkles you already have and hopefully minimize wrinkles in the future.  The most important of these include:</p>
<div style='float: left; width: 100px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px; background-color: #FFFFCC;'><font size=1><font color='#000066'><b>?</b></font> Some lotions may contain antioxidants that can help to halt the process of oxidization and give you a more youthful and less wrinkled look.</font></div>
<ol>
<li>Avoid the sun and/or use sunscreen
<li>Don&#039;t smoke
<li>Use a topical anti-wrinkle cream
<li>Moisturize daily
<li>Drink plenty of water
<li>Exercise
<li>Eat plenty of fruits &#038; vegetables.
 </ol>
<p> By following the above 7 items regularly, a person will be taking important steps to maintaining a youthful appearance and reducing the onset of wrinkles.</p>
<p>Wishing You All The Best,</p>
<p>

<p>Wrinkles are caused by both genetic and environmental factors. They are the result of sunlight, chemical ridden cosmetics, cigarette smoke and other skin pollutants. The accumulative effects of them may speed the process of wrinkle forming.
 </p>
<p>
 I am afraid there is no sure way to prevent wrinkles. There comes a time we will all get them.  (Editors Comment: An &#034;old wives tale&#034; <a href="http://www.revitol.com/anti-aging-solutions/?aid=463304" target="_blank">Now You CAN Erase Wrinkles With Revitol Anti-Aging Solutions)</a>
 </p>
<p><span id="more-80"></span>
<p>
 At the present time we cannot do to much to reverse the form of wrinkles using cosmetic products.  Yet, there are some new techniques that will help such as medical peels and some surgical procedures. Basically they work by forcing the skin to reproduce its new fibers as part of a healing process.
 </p>
<div style='float: left; width: 100px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px; background-color: #FFFFCC;'><font size=1><font color='#000066'><b></b></font> Limiting sun exposure.  The sun is a major factor in skin damage that causes wrinkles.</font></div>
<p>
 The best method to prevent wrinkles is to use a regular skin care routine, and to rigorously protect your face from the negative effects of the sun exposure. A daily removal of pollutants, debris, perspiration and other factor that can damage your pores is a very good option. Shield your skin from the sun&#039;s detrimental effect using a natural sunscreen. You should keep your skin healthy, hydrated and supple by drinking plenty of purified water. Also avoid smoking and alcohol that cause dehydratation of skin.
 </p>
<p>
 Lack of oxygen is another cause of wrinkles, so use creams which increase oxygen intake and also kill the bacteria.</p>
<div style='float: right; width: 100px; padding: 5px; margin: 5px; background-color: #FFFFCC;'><font size=1><font color='#000066'><b></b></font> Starting around 40 the dermis and your skin&#039;s fat layer begin to thin producing sagging and loss of plumpness in the skin.</font></div>
