Retinol Strength

Posted on November 1, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

If you plan to buy a retinol product for anti aging, you’re probably wondering what strength to get.  Should you go for the highest concentration available in order to get more ‘bang for your buck’?. Or should you be cautious and go for a lower strength, less powerful but ‘safer’ product?

Let’s first look at the results you are likely to get with the most potent Retinol products and also with the least potent so that we can compare the differences.  The highest strength on the market is 1.5% although for most users this is way too strong and may cause too much redness, puffiness and skin peeling.  1.0 is still very strong and 0.5 is often strong enough. Most products contain a lot less than even 0.5, hence they are usually cheaper. We’re going to look at the results from using the 1.0, the 0.5 and also the inexpensive versions with much less retinol in them.

First thing to realise is that retinol is effective for wrinkles and lines, age spots, blemishes and blotchiness. It is not effective for toning up the skin sagging associated with aging. If you have this problem, you would be better using the Deanol product, Lifecell Skin, which also deals with all the other signs of skin aging. However, if your main areas of concern are only wrinkles and complexion, then retinol is a good choice. Most regular users of the 1.0% cream report very positive effects, especially on complexion. They do recommend though that new users start with the 0.5% strength because it can be a bit of a shock to the skin if starting with the higher one. So the idea is to start off with a weaker strength (but not too weak) for at least a month and then upgrade to the higher.  This way you can get the most benefit from the product, without burning your skin!  As far as the very weak creams and serums go, most customers report little or no improvement so this is one instance where you really do need to pay a bit more if you want results.

Now let’s take a look at the potential downsides of using the more concentrated retinol creams.  The main one really is photosensitivity. Retinol can cause the skin to react to sunlight even more than it normally does.  In a nutshell, your face is more at risk of sunburn.  The more of the active ingredient in the product you are using, the higher the sensitivity.  So very weak creams will cause no problems in this area, but then you won’t get results either so it’s a bit pointless.  There is one obvious answer and that’s to use a good sunblock while you are using retinol on your skin.  It goes without saying that you ought to be doing this anyway if you want your face to look more youthful!  Another downside is the chance of your skin reacting by going red, peeling and even swelling. Some peeling and redness is common and as long as it’s not severe and goes away after 10 days or so, there’s no problem.  Use your judgement or take the advise of users as mentioned above and start with a 0.5% solution. SkinCeuticals is a trusted brand that markets both a 1.0 and 0.5 solution and has many good reviews.

Anti Aging Hand Creams

Posted on October 12, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

Anti Aging Hand CreamHand cream is a must. After all, dry knobby hands aren’t really appealing for anyone. Have you ever had to look away from someone with hands matching that description? How many people have worried about their hands looking “too old”? If left uncared for, your hands really can begin to age faster than the rest of you. Your hands are in use much more than any other part of your body. Think about all of the things you use your hands to do during a day. Looking after your hands a little more can help to protect and preserve them a little longer. Here are some ways to pick the best hand cream to use on your hands.

Give the cream some time to work. You want to know for sure if the cream is right use if for some time before giving up on it. Before you can tell if a particular product is worth its weight in gold you need to use it regularly over a couple of weeks before you give up on it. Obviously if you have an allergic reaction to the cream you’ve chosen you can move on right away. Other than that it’s important to continue use for several days at least. You’ll have to figure out whether you’re using too much or not enough by the feel of your skin which might be somewhat oily at first. Sometimes the brand you choose can make a big difference and it’s easy to buy into all of the hype that different brands use on their labels. If you really want to use one particular brand, find one that’s been around for a very long time, you know it must be good or it would have died out ages ago.

The best anti-aging hand creams will work on age spots, wrinkles and dry skin, as well as conditioning your nails.  Robana anti-aging hand cream has some excellent customer reviews, with users reporting that it makes their hands look youthful and smooth. Another really good one is Derma E Age Reversal Formula for Youthful Hands. Again there are some really great reviews and the price is not to high either.  Reverses the signs of aging on your hands and works on the nails and cuticles as well.  Plus it’s certified free of animal testing.

Remember that your hands give your age away as much as your face does, so use a quality hand cream and this way you won’t be trying to hide your hands for fear of letting everyone know your age!

Nobody Wants A Saggy Face !

Posted on September 28, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

It’s official, the biggest concern that women have about their face as they age, is a saggy face.  This is over and above wrinkles, age spots or any of the other signs of saggy facefacial aging.  The biggest problem here is that sagging is more difficult to treat than wrinkles or complexion.  Hence so many women reluctantly end up going for surgery.  A face lift, lifts the muscles below the skin because this is what causes sagging, ie the muscles, not the actual skin itself.  So if we think about this for a moment…  muscles lose their tone and go soft and saggy right?  We already know this if we have lost muscle tone in other parts of our body.  It’s not so easy to get it back again.  In fact I noticed recently that some retailers have now designed Jeans that lift your buttocks when you wear them.  Surprise, surprise, they’re selling like hotcakes!

As far as a saggy face is concerned, and neck too, because necks can really show up our age, a lot of women feel that a face lift is their only option.  I’m not going to go into all the cons of surgery because I’m trusting that if you are reading this, you’re  probably already quite clued up on all that. There is one thing however, that does a pretty good job on those facial muscles to give them some more tone and firmness. That’s Deanol.  Now, Deanol is present in a number of quality anti aging creams, but often there’s not enough of it present.  One of the biggest problems with advertising is not so much that it ‘lies’ but that it fools the consumer.  Having a proven ingredient in a product doesn’t always mean much because there has to be a certain amount of that ingredient before it will work for you.

The best Deanol product I know of at this current time is LifeCell Skin. Though not cheap, it does do the job.  It’s not going to be as instant or drastic as surgery of course, but even though it’s a little pricey in comparison to some others, it’s still a fraction of the cost of a face lift, plus of course without the risks

You are going to need to use it for four months to see some real differences to your saggy face and neck skin, but the other benefits of LifeCell kick in a lot sooner, such as the usual wrinkle reduction and improvements to your skin tone.

The company that makes this cream will allow you to order your first month’s supply without paying for it.  In fact you don’t pay for it at all the first month apart from a small amount of shipping.  This is their way of letting you test it out for yourself.  You can get it here from their website:  LifeCell Skin with Deanol

Dove Spa Strength Within Beauty Supplement Goes On Sale

Posted on September 26, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

The world’s very first anti wrinkle pill, Dove Spa Strength Within Beauty Supplement claims to significantly reduce wrinkles from the inside, especially those deep wrinkles that are so difficult to treat with creams alone.  But is it just more hype and empty Dove Spa Strength Within Beauty Supplementpromises?  Are 1000′s of women and men going to be disappointed yet again in their quest to look younger?  Let’s take a look at the product and what science is actually saying about it

According to the New Scientist, a study was carried out on over 500 women between the ages of 35 and 72, so a very broad age range of subjects. The study took place over approximately four months, which is the length of time the company recommends that you take Dove Spa Strength Within Beauty Supplement.  Reported results were very impressive with most women getting good results of up to 30% improvement in wrinkle depth and volume.  As mentioned already, the deep wrinkles seem to the ones that show the most change.

The reason that deep wrinkles are the most problematic to treat with topical applications such as anti aging creams, is that it’s hard for creams to penetrate down far enough through those deeper, tougher skin layers.  Because Dove Spa Strength within works as they say, from ‘within’, the makers and the scientists who have studied it, say that it can do the job that the wrinkle creams cannot.  No wonder then that masses of people have been rushing to order it, the moment it went on sale.  However, the the wrinkle pills alone will not do the whole job for you, they are designed for the deep lines and wrinkles.  So to perfectly compliment that you should use an anti aging cream that combats sagging skin, fine lines and age spots.  Lifecell Skin is the best on the market according to the research we’ve carried out.  It contains Deanol which is the closest thing to a face lift in a bottle!  You can try it for a month before paying for it…  the company’s way of building their customer base. If you click on ‘Lifecell’ at the top of the page, you can read more about it.

What I would say is that the Strength Within pill is not going anywhere.  Meaning it will still be there in two or three months time and by then, there will be a ton of reviews and testimonials around.  So far all we know is that it has been reported to work in a clinical trial.  There is no harm in hanging on a little while to see how the general public get on with it.  Especially as you will require at least three months supply as recommended by the makers and sellers.

Unfortunately this wrinkle pill is not suitable for vegetarians which is a shame as it excludes a large section of the population.  This is probably because the capsule shell contains gelatin, something that used to be very common. Nowadays though most capsule shells are made with an alternative to ensure they are suitable for everyone.

Whatever your thoughts are on Dove Spa Strength Within Beauty Supplement, it represents a turning point in wrinkle treatment. It will be interesting to see what sort of effect it has on other parts of the body, besides the face and neck.  You can be certain that there are other companies right now, working on their own competing brand of wrinkle pill and striving to make it as good if not better than the original.  So it looks like before too long, all of us who really want to look younger, will be able to combat wrinkles from the inside as well as the outside.  An exciting prospect for sure!

Does Deanol Work On Lip Wrinkles?

Posted on September 25, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

Deanol is often referred to as DMEA so don’t get confused here because they are one in the same. The correct name is dimethylaminoethanol. There are two purposes of deanolDeanol as an anti-aging cream ingredient. The first is as a muscle toner for saggy skin and muscles around the eyes, jaw line etc. The second, is as a lip plumper, in other words reducing or eliminating lip wrinkles and giving a fuller lip appearance

It kind of sounds too good to be true because we’ve always been led to believe that injections are the only real way to get nice wrinkle free and full lips. So let’s investigate a bit further and see exactly what Deanol does and if it works for those that use it. Before we do that, let’s take a look at exactly what it is, because this will help us understand the theory behind the claims.

According to medical reports, Deanol is produced in the brain and is very important part of making sure our muscles work properly. This is not the only function, but the only one relevant to finding out why this substance might work in an anti aging cream. It’s already been used for a long time now for treating neuro-muscular illnesses, but this is always with oral administation, not putting it on the skin. There has been studies on animal embryos where Deanol was applied topically and the results were positive, but this is hardly the same thing as a live human subject.

However, there has been a study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology that is far more interesting. The study reports that in human trials, applying Deanol every day for sixteen weeks to the face and neck resulted in some quite astonishing changes in the skin and lips of the subjects. Lip wrinkles were reduced or disappeared completely and lips were fuller and more defined. There were marked improvements in sagginess and wrinkles on both the face and the neck. One of the most important things to note here, is that the results were still intact even weeks after the subject stopped applying Deanol to their skin. Additionally, long term studies of using it on the face and neck have reported no adverse side effects, so nothing to indicate that it’s unsafe in any way

Another human study of Deanol in Quebec was purely on wrinkles and how does this substance perform. The study concluded that it does in fact reduce wrinkles, but it also found one other very interesting thing. Deanol caused cells to expand. Now this accounts for the almost instant effect on our lip wrinkles and explains how lips will look plumped. Because it also increases circulation, we get more colour and life to our lips.

So Deanol is clinically proven to work as an active ingredient in anti aging products, plus as an effective compound to tackle lip wrinkles. One thing you have to look out for though, is creams that do not contain enough of it. In fact many creams don’t contain enough of ANY of the active ingredients. The reason for this is that these active substances are the expensive ones. So don’t expect to pay 10 dollars for a wrinkle cream and have it packed full of effective ingredients such as Deanol!

Dove Spa Strength Within Beauty Supplement The First Ever Anti-Wrinkle Pill

Posted on September 22, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

So here we go, it had to happen sooner or later. Dove Spa Strength Within Beauty Supplement, a pill that gets rid of wrinkles!  It’s not even on the market yet but can be pre-ordered from selected outlets in the UK.  Already kicking up a storm, there’s certain to be a buying frenzy the moment it’s released properly Initially it may only be marketed from Dove Spa outets, however, no doubt it won’t be too long before it’s available from places like Amazon

Will this only be available to the UK? That remains to be seen but one thing you can be sure of; It won’t be long before other manufacturers will be jumping on the bandwagon and producing their own wrinkle pill.

It does appear that this pill works and a study carried out on 450 post-menopause women produced some amazing results in all of them.  Featured in New Scientist, a highly respected scientific publication, it’s stated that results are proven.  This means we are not just talking about claims made by manufacturers, but scientific proof that it does what is says it does.

Don’t forget to use a quality wrinkle cream alongside the pills because otherwise you are missing out on treating your fine lines, sagginess and skin tone.  Both ‘LifeCell Skin’ here, or Stem Cell Therapy Cream here, are proven to produce good results.  Lifecell has a special trial offer on and Stem Cell has a buy-one-get-one-free.

The wrinkle pills will be sold at £35 (approx $58) for a month’s supply so not too bad really when you consider it seems to work on DEEP wrinkles, not just lines and shallow wrinkles.

Anyhow, watch this space for more news on the Dove Spa Strength Within Beauty Supplement and information on how to get your hands on it!

Breast Cream Does It Work For That Characteristic Sagging?

Posted on September 20, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

Aging has lots of effects on our appearance and breast cream is widely used to help with sagging and even to increase breast size. But does it work at all?  Studies have shown beyond doubt that massage does work and using a cream specifically for your breasts may have some merit and help to enhance results

The main active ingredients in most brands of breast cream are herbs that contain estrogen.  Estrogen helps to stimuate the growth of breast tissue and other herbs used may help the tissue to retain water, which of course gives a fuller appearance to the breasts.  Most good information sites will instruct you to use the creams along with daily massage.  Massage will help to tone the breasts and give them back definition and shape.  So combining these two things can produce some good results.  Don’t worry about the massage technique because there is no evidence to say it matters how you do it, as long as you do it!  Be persistant because it can take six weeks or so for results to begin to show

Another thing you can do for even better results, is to combine your breast cream and massage with a herbal supplement. There are plenty of them on the market, but try and find one that’s sold through an established company.  It’s so easy to get ripped off because makers and sellers of these types of products know only too well that many women will try anything in order to increase breast size and get a more toned appearance.  Some of the stuff on the market has absolutely nothing in it at all that would enhance your size or help with sagging.

Breast Actives is a brand that has been around for several years and has many good reviews and testimonials.  They also do a long money back guarantee of 180 days, so you get six whole months just about to evaluate it.  This one does include cream, a herbal supplement and instructions.

In conclusion, breast cream combined with massage, and perhaps even some chest exercises, plus a good herbal supplement can give you one size up from your current size. Some people even report better than that and say they have increased by two sizes. You will also see a good improvement in tone.  Tone is probably more important than size if you’re striving to get back your youthful body again :)

Wrinkle Cream Reviews on TV

Posted on September 13, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

Does seeing a wrinkle cream review on the TV, or reading it in a top magazine mean that you can be sure the product is going to be worth the money?  The answer is no.  Problem is that TV and magazine advertising is massively expensive and some of the leading cosmetic companies pay millions of dollars a month to ‘brand’ their anti-aging products in the media.  The costs of all that mainstream promotion is passed on to YOU, the consumer!

We all know who these companies are; You see their products advertised everywhere and on the shelves in all the major stores.  Some of the very best wrinkle creams are made and marketed by smaller companies and these are often the ones that you won’t see in the stores. Reason being that the big, established companies have the monopoly when it comes to products being marketed through the major retail outlets.

Going back to cost for a minute…  The price of an anti-aging cream from a well known cosmetic company is often bumped up by as much as 30% to pay for the TV, magazine, and other big media advertising costs. Possibly the best place to look for wrinkle cream reviews is online.  Forums can be a great source, but it depends on how much time you have because it can takes an age to do this sort of research.  We tend to buy what is most ‘in our face’ and this is why TV advertising is so effective.

No doubt there are some true ‘hidden gems’ out there in the wrinkle product field, but you’re unlikely to see them advertised in top magazines or featured on the television.

Another reason to consider other lesser known anti-aging products is that smaller companies are often more eager to please their customers.  They may have a much longer money back guarantee and even an ‘empty bottle’, no questions asked money back policy extending for as long as 60 or 90 days.

So really, before you go spending your money on over promoted products, take a few minutes to look at some less publicised wrinkle cream reviews and see if you can find a cream that will give you some serious results in your quest to look younger.

You want to find testimonies from real people, not people who have been paid to endorse a product.  It’s no secret that Michael Jackson was paid millions for one TV advert promoting a well known soft drink. So while other celebs and well known personalities are not necessarily paid million, they DO get paid quite large amounts to give their seal of approval to quite a large range of cosmetics, including some popular anti-aging creams.

A quick place to start looking for genuine wrinkle cream reviews is Google.  You will have to sift through the useless info of course because there seems to be a lot of websites with next to no information on them.  However, for most of us, getting a younger appearance and a product that does what it says on the tin, is worth a bit of time and effort!

Lifecell V Stem Cell Therapy Cream

Posted on September 6, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

Both of these creams came out well in our wrinkle cream reviews, but which one to choose?

The group that chose to test Stem Cell Therapy cream were a bit younger (age range 28 – 56) than those who wanted to test LifeCell (age range 40 – 65).  This is probably because LifeCell has a very impressive before and after pic of an 80 year old ex-dancer!  In reality though, it’s not just for over 40′s because anyone from the age of 25 upwards can benefit.  Even before wrinkles start to appear it’s a good idea to use a product like this because you can really delay the onset.

However, here’s the thing.  LifeCell is very good for sagging skin on your face and Lifecell Trialneck. As most people are usually 40′ish or older before they begin to notice any sagging, it could be that this is the better choice for over 40′s.  As mentioned before, I personally think that sagging is a far more obvious sign of aging than wrinkles.  I’ve seen girls in their early 20′s with a few wrinkles around their eyes, but they still look youthful because they have good muscle tone on their face.

You can try LifeCell Skin for a month before you buy it, but is one month long enough to evaluate it properly? Not really, especially when you will only really have about 23 days by the time it arrives to you in the mail. Initial results of this one ARE fast when it comes to wrinkles, fine lines, complexion.  But, the active ingredient that attacks sagging takes longer to kick in. In fact it takes about 6 weeks so really you need a couple of months to get the full benefit.  This isn’t so bad though because your first month’s supply is free.

What about Stem Cell Therapy Cream?  Has been labled as the ultimate ‘fountain of youth’. A slight exaggeration maybe, but still a very good product.  Now with this one Stem Cell Therapy Cream Reviewyou definately DO need two months, but that’s ok because you can get a buy-one-get-one-free. I suppose the company have done this because they know that users need two months supply in order to get proper results.  If you have any skin blemishes, such as acne scarring, you will find that Stem Cell is good for reducing or even eliminating that sort of thing. It also works well on wrinkles and is great for fine lines.

So really, you have to decide which one would be more suitable for you, LifeCell or Stem Cell.  One way to find out of course is to try both. If you are going to give both a proper trial, you will end up paying for one month’s supply of LifeCell and one month’s supply of Stem Cell Therapy Cream, but you will have two months supply of each.  You don’t have to get both at the same time, you could try one first and then order the other. This way if you try one first and love it, you won’t need to bother with the other!
