Silicon Simplicity

Envision a skincare line infused with an ingredient so special, it has the power to help an apple heal itself after being punctured. Then imagine the ingredient comes from natural, plant stem cells. Factor in that 100% of subjects experienced visible decrease in wrinkle depth in clinical studies - 100%!

Nope, we’re not talking about a Retin-A or a retinol product, not talking about products boasting acai berry, and one doesn’t need to visit the dermatologist to reap its benefits. What’s the ingredient? The latest buzz in skincare is a rare Swiss Apple called the Uttwiler Spatlauber.  These rare apples boast an extremely long shelf life; they last four months longer than typical shriveled apples. The Swiss Apple has a self-renewal power that rejuvenates aging, saggy skin. Apple stem cells are rich in epigenetic factors and metabolites that assure the longevity of skin cells.

Allow me to introduce you to Eclos! Eclos uses the super apple to boost the production of human stem cells. It protects skin from stress, and decreases wrinkles for fresher looking skin. Eclos takes the revolutionary technology of super apple and plant-based stem cells to create younger looking skin. The application of plant cell cultures to maintain human skin stem cells is a breakthrough in anti-aging.

For the past two weeks I’ve been using three products from the Eclos line with fantastic results!  Truly, I’ve been amazed.  The three Eclos products I tested: Instant Radiance Facial Scrub, Skin Renewal Clay Mask and Cellular Activator Face Serum. (more…)

Blackheads can be a nuisance, especially in its severe forms.

Oftentimes they are not as obvious and can appear very small, but they hide deep down in clogged pores, making skin appear patchy with enlarged pores.

Blackheads affect persons of all ages, although fortunately getting rid of blackheads is very easy.

So if how to get rid of blackheads is your dilemma, here are some things you can do that will greatly help:

1. When showering or washing your face, turn up the heat as much as you can stand and leave it running on your face for about five to ten minutes. This will help in your problem to get rid of blackheads because the steam and heat will open up your pores and loosen the blackheads. After you shower you can also remove them individually by means of a metal extractor which will help further to get rid of blackheads.
2. There are also some lifestyle changes you will have to make, which will help you solve your problem to get rid of blackheads. This includes eating less fatty and oily foods, as blackheads are an accumulation of oil as well as dirt. Another way to get rid of blackheads is by changing your pillow case as often as possible; this is due to the fact that oil can accumulate on your pillow. (more…)

Depending on the weather, our skin can sometimes turn our skin very dry.

Sometimes, even slathering many layers of moisturizers or lotions are not enough to hydrate the skin.

You can infuse your skin with long-lasting moisture depending on the timing you do. For instance, smoothing your skin with moisture-trapping ingredient such as jojoba oil after a steamy bath will help your skin absorb your moisturizer better and be hydrated for a longer time.

And because of this, it is better to apply lotion or moisturizer in the shower or after your bath. The case will be better if you will use a body scrub instead of a body lotion to further sooth scaly looking dry skin.

While your skin is saturated with moisture, your body scrubs also work on removing dead skin layers which exaggerate the look of dry skin.

Using Natural Body Scrub to Fight Dry Skin

All the floral water that we use in face packs or for cleansing the skin is being manufactured with synthetic fragrance oils that actually harm the skin. Most of the moisturizers and skin care creams that we use comprise of propylene glycol and diethanolamine, which are carcinogenic and cause harm to the skin. The shampoos, bubble baths and soaps that we use contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and are used to produce more of lather. This chemical is generally used in the whitening toothpastes. All the mineral oils and paraffin wax use derivative of petroleum products that deficiently affects the skin. It is not true that all the synthetic chemicals are toxic, as some of them if used in adequate amount can help in enhancing the skin. (more…)

The four major types of skin infection are bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic. These groups will be considered in turn and examples of the most common forms of infection described Bacteria live permanently on the skin surface, and are known as the permanent bacterial flora. In addition, transient organisms are constantly arriving at the skin surface but are usually prevented from multiplying by the normal defence mechanisms.

Under certain circumstances either the permanent or transient organisms may become established, multiply excessively, and then cause disease or infection. The factors governing the host resistance or defence mechanism are several. Firstly there are the factors inherent in the skin itself, for example the amount of moisture or other secretions present, and whether there is a point of entry or an abrasion on the surface. Secondly there is the degree of interaction between the permanent flora and the invading organism. Finally, there is the factor of the various cellular and circulatory interactions provoked by the invasion. These may be influenced by the body’s general health or level of immunity.

There are many anti aging products that are found in the market but all the anti aging products are not good because they are causing skin allergies and also they make skin to be dull because for the company’s sale they are adding deadly chemicals that naturally affect the skin without doing any good.

Mainly  substances like beta hydroxyl salicylic acid ,alpha hydroxyl acid will remove the dead cells by  exfoliation. By removing dead cells that are occupied in the pores the skin will look fresh, clean and smooth and also we have to keep in mind that these anti aging products will not be accepted by certain skin so the irritation will come over the skin so you have to be careful. The antioxidants like coenzyme q10 will prevent the cells that are in the skin not to be damaged so it also allows skin discoloration can be prevented. (more…)
