Youth in a Jar
We all want to look younger, have fewer wrinkles, have smooth supple skin, and basically face the world looking as good as possible. As such, we’ll spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every year on products that promise instant youth gratification.Unfortunately, instant gratification in a skin care product is almost nonexistent. However, some new and recent developments in the world of skin care have proven that it is possible to show almost instant results as well as obtain long term results. The introduction of this new dynamic skin care product is taking the skin care industry by storm. In fact, a host of world renowned plastic surgeons agree that this new breakthrough skin care product can help to delay the need or eliminate the need for plastic surgery altogether.
Wouldn't it be great to simply use a skincare cream on a daily basis and avoid the need for a facelift 10 years from now? So, what's the secret? The answer is easy -- lycopene. Over and over again you've heard us talk about the benefits of lycopene and how the powerful antioxidant properties thereof can make a dramatic impact on the texture and appearance of the skin. Antioxidants are basically protectors. Adding lycopene to any skincare cream can ensure UV protection, protection from free radicals, the smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, and noticeable reduction in pore size, and a basic overall evening of texture and tone.
So why don't more skincare products contain lycopene? Because lycopene is a naturally occurring substance. Far too many skincare creams rely on chemical components for shelflife and other unnatural reasons. However, because lycopene is naturally occurring, is used in organic skincare cream. It's been proven time and time again that organic is better both inside the body and out. If you're looking for the most viable nutrition for your skin, you should look into organic natural skincare creams.
The process by which plastic surgery can be delayed lycopene skincare cream is relatively simple, however, the science regarding lycopene skincare is incredibly complicated. Why? Because countless studies and research tests have been run to ensure that lycopene skincare products are the best possible products for your skin. In fact, some users are inspired to use lycopene skincare products over their entire body.
Using lycopene skincare products on your face and neck can have dramatic results that we've already proven exist. It stands to reason that using lycopene over your body will be beneficial as well. Unfortunately, far fewer lycopene body products exist than do face and décolleté products – but we’re sure they’re on their way.

Win the Battle of the Sexes and the Battle of the Ages
Have you ever wondered why it is that as we age men become more distinguished and yet women become old and weathered? When a man goes a little gray around his temples, we find him that much more attractive, but when a woman goes gray around the temples it's time to visit the salon. And not only that, if he puts on a few pounds as he gets older, we love him all the more... but when a woman put on a few pounds, she suddenly spends all her time shopping at health food stores and avoiding dessert.So, what's one of the best way to combat the signs of aging and avoid that "male versus female” stigma that surrounds the process of aging? The answer is to prevent it before it becomes a problem. And, quite frankly, one of the very best ways to prevent aging is the utilization of a high-quality skincare program.
Unfortunately, far too many skincare programs are synthetic and don't exactly work against aging. Instead, these synthetic products only seek to camouflage the process of aging. However, there is one product on the market today that has a 100% proven track record in both safety, health, and the ability to turn back the clock. This one product is simply lycopene infused skincare cream.
As we've discussed several times before, lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that is known for its ability to both prevent and treat cancer. However, lycopene is also a natural UV protected, and has the ability to help the body and is again process and utilize other nutrients successfully or it the cause of these powerhouse abilities, lycopene skincare can provide users with instant results in terms of anti-aging.
If you're becoming increasingly concerned about aging gracefully, you should probably start spending a little more time seeking out the best quality skincare program. For those of us who truly desire high-quality products, then bargain basement, out of date, or used skincare products simply won't do. So, instead of settling for second best, or struggling with the aging process altogether, consider looking into the purchase and utilization of the lycopene infused skincare cream.
A large number of plastic surgeons have consented to the fact that lycopene is a breakthrough skin care ingredient that can both help prevent or at least delay the need for plastic surgery.

How Free Radicals Damage the Cell
by Dr Gary I WeinbergerIn my previous blogs I tried to define and simplify the concept of antioxidants. I will now focus on how these antioxidants ROS (reactive oxygen species) and RNS (reactive nitrogen species) act to damage the cell. These reactive species exert their damage at the cellular level either by damaging the cell at the level of the cell’s nucleus or at the level of the main body of the cell or cytoplasm.
DNA DAMAGE- The nucleus is the “brain center” of the cell and is the area where the cell stores its genetic material. Damage to the nucleus can significantly alter the structure and function of the entire cell. The environmental stresses that are responsible for damage to the nucleus are oxidation, methylation, depurination, and deamination. Nitric oxide, a normal chemical found within the cell can undergo chemical changes when exposed to these environmental contaminants and form by-products like NO2, ONOO-, N2O3, and HNO2. These substances are known to cause abnormal alteration in the cell’s genetic material the result of which is the formation of various forms of cancer. By protecting the nuclear material from damage caused by environmental ROS and RNS through the use of antioxidants, either topically with antioxidant creams like creams containing lycopene or orally through supplements rich in antioxidants, it is hoped that the incidence of certain cancers can be reduced.
MITOCHONDRIAL DAMAGE- If the nucleus is the brain of the cell than the mitochondria is the “power supply” and “regulator” of the cell’s activity. The mitochondria is a cellular organelle (microscopic organ like the heart) found within the cell body or cytoplasm of the cell. This organelle is important for many of the normal functions of the cell and damage to this structure is important in several human diseases as well as the aging process. It is believed that environmental and dietary free radicals damage the cell at the level of the mitochondria and results in aging. It is postulated that foods rich in antioxidants that inhibit free radicals formed by high caloric diets may increase life expectancy by reducing the cellular damage caused by the ROS and RNS. It is thought that the mitochondria are the most important source of intra-cellular free radicals. It seems very likely that ROS free radicals are produced by the mitochondria which in turn results in damage to the mitochondrial DNA. This process may result in alterations of the mitochondrial genetic material and could play a role in certain diseases and cancers. It is believed that oral antioxidant supplements can reach protective levels in various organs like lungs, heart and prostate, however, newer studies are showing that sufficient antioxidant levels cannot be achieved in the skin through oral supplementation. It is for this reason that creams containing antioxidants like, lycopene and Vit E, appear to be the best way to protect the skin from the oxidative damage of environmental stresses like air pollution and the suns UV rays.
Continuously Renovating Your Skin Layers
To be effective you must remove the deteriorating outer layers and have your skincare products reach into the lower layers on new, renewed skin.
Dermopeel Cream is a one of kind multi-purpose night time skincare product that combines natural emollients, pharmaceutical strength azelaic, and kojic acids, and natures most powerful age-defying antioxidant Lycopene. The result is a luxurious therapeutic night cream that hydrates deep into the dermis to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone, and fade brown spots caused by the damaging effects of the sun as well as the hyperpigmentation that may result from adult acne.
The ingredients used in Dermopeel Cream have been shown to be clinically effective against rosacea and adult acne and for overall skin lightening in African-American, Hispanic, and Asian skin types. Dermopeel Cream is free of synthetic preservatives and perfumes and does not have any side effects that may be associated with hydroquinone skin fading products.
This is the only night-time therapeutic skin product that is all natural, 100% organic, that addresses the same conditions that chemicals such a hydroquinone does without any of the side effects.

The Many Benefits of Lycopene
We've spent quite a bit of time discussing lycopene products and how they can be beneficial to your skin. But did you know that lycopene is not only beneficial to the skin, but it's beneficial to the remainder of the body as well. As was mentioned before, lycopene is a powerful cancer fighting agent and plays a major role in both prevention and treatment of prostate cancer. However, studies indicate that the benefits of lycopene reach far beyond the most commonly known.
In fact, many people claim that lycopene can help to promote weight loss, can improve physical performance, and can help to repair blood vessels and nerves cells. That means, when applied to a skin care product, lycopene can help to treat discoloration caused by broken capillaries under the skin. I've the results of these studies; many women have turned to using lycopene skincare cream all over their bodies and not just on their face and neck.
These medical studies go on to reveal that lycopene is more than twice as powerful as they carotene and can help the body more readily absorb vitamin E. We already know vitamin E is a major contributor to skin health, and with lycopene, vitamin E can work more efficiently. In short, lycopene skincare cream plays double duty. Not only does it act as a natural UV protecter, but it can also help your body and your skin respond more successfully to other nutrients.
The utilization of lycopene skincare cream will protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun, allow your skin to replenish itself by combating free radicals, will reduce the size and appearance of your pores by increasing the oxidation of the cells, and a host of other age fighting properties that will make a dramatic change in how you feel about your skin.
If you're interested in turning around the aging process and treating your skin with the highest quality skincare cream on the market, you should consider looking into lycopene products. The benefits of lycopene speak for themselves. Consider doing a few consumer reviews, and examining the ways that lycopene skincare products can benefit you in your daily routine.
You don't have to settle for premature aging, you don't have to settle for large pores, wrinkles, or sun damage, the hope for your skin is in the products you elect to use.

Wrinkles Can Be Made to Disappear Without Botox Or Surgery
By: Dr Gary Weinberger
One only has to Google "anti-wrinkle creams" to realize that there is a plethora of products promising to eliminate fine and wrinkles. At the last cosmetic show in Paris a few weeks ago two new and innovative products showed a significant effect in reducing the depth of wrinkles and fine lines. These two products are SNAP-8, an anti-aging peptide and a High/Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid.
One of the most obvious signs of skin aging is increased wrinkling of the face. This occurs naturally overtime and results from certain biochemical, histological, and physiological changes that are enhanced by exposure to environmental contaminants. Secondary factors like the pull of gravity and pressure on the skin of the face during sleep also contribute to the formation of lines, wrinkles, and furrows. The molecular mechanism involved in aging of the face is directly related to changes in the conformation of the collagen triple helix, breakdown of elastin polypeptides and disorder in the packing of the lipidic matrix of the skin.
It has been clearly shown that these changes and the disturbance of the packing of the lipid matrix can be significantly avoided by modulating muscle contractions.
Muscles are contracted when they come in contact with a neurotransmitter released from inside of a vesicle at the level of the synapse (junction) between the nerve fibers and the facial muscle receptors. The SNARE (SNAP RECEPTOR) complex is essential for this neurotransmitter release at the synapse. This complex is formed by proteins VAMP, Syntaxin, and SNAP-25 (SyNaptosomal Associated Protein). This complex is like a cellular fishing hook which captures vesicles and fuses them with the membrane for the release of the neurotransmitter.
SNAP-8 mimics the terminal end of the SNAP-25 protein which then competes with the SNAP-25 protein for a position in the SNARE complex altering its formation. If the SNARE complex becomes destabilized, the vesicle cannot release neurotransmitters efficiently and therefore muscle contraction is reduced, preventing the formation of wrinkles and furrows.
The other innovative product is what I would call the next generation of Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid comes two forms, a Low Molecular Weight molecule that is linear without cross-links and a High Molecular Weight molecule that has "S" shaped loops like a snake with cross-links between the loops. The low molecular weight HA is easily absorbed through the skin but begins to break down soon after absorption into the tissues due to the presence of a naturally occurring enzyme in the tissue called "hyaluronidase". The high molecular weight HA is not absorbed by the skin and has to be delivered by injection. This form of HA is more resistant to breakdown by "hyaluronidase" and is typical of injectable fillers like Juvederm.
The new HA combines these two molecular types so that when the low molecular HA is absorbed by the skin it pulls some of the high molecular weight HA along with it resulting in a better and longer lasting deep skin hydration and plumping with decreased water loss across the epidermis.
Both of these innovative products are new to the market and are not found in many cosmeceuticals because of their expense. If you can, however, find an anti-wrinkle product that contains these two ingredients it is well worth the cost and is certainly going to be safer, cheaper, and a milder alternative to Botulinum Toxin, topically targeting the same wrinkle-formation mechanism in a very different way.
