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.

Understanding Free Radicals

How Free Radicals Damage the Cell

by Dr Gary I Weinberger

In 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.
