Great Christmas Gifts For Mom
Posted by siravich in Retinol Wrinkle Cream on January 19, 2012
It’s that time of year again when people are trying to figure out Christmas gift ideas for mom. Women love skin care items any time of the year and receiving them during the holidays makes it even better.
Skin care products can vary dramatically with prices. Keeping that in mind, below are a few gifts ideas for any budget. The list starts from the highest and trickles down to the lowest.
More than likely, mom already has her favorite skin care routines in place, so these gift ideas will enhance what she already has in her repertoire.
Anti-Aging Technology:
Anti-aging technology is totally changing at-home skin care. For years, women had only creams and serums, but now skin care has jumped to a whole new level. There are many devices to choose from that would make wonderful Christmas gift ideas. But whatever is given to mom make sure that it’s a FDA cleared device.
One to look for is microcurrent technology. It actually regenerates muscles underneath the skin, is painless, lifts slack skin, and shows immediate results.
LED light therapy is another hand-held product turning heads. This at-home tool is so gentle it’s good for daily use to defy premature wrinkles. When buying mom’s Christmas gift, be sure to find red, amber and infrared LED light. All three lights promote collagen and elastin. And every mom out there wants younger looking skin.
Both of these products are in the high $200 price range.
Body Moisturizer:
While mom may already have a facial moisturizer she uses, wintertime is the perfect time to buy her a body moisturizer. If she’s using regular soap for bathing, her skin is getting dehydrated. A good moisturizer is going to add water back into the skin to make it soft and supple.
Body moisturizers come in butters, creams, lotions, oils, and ointments.
Also in this category are anti aging body moisturizers. To find the best one for mom, look for ingredients such as:
• Emollients
• Glucosamine
• Lactic acid
• Retinol
A good body moisturizer may cost anywhere from $35 to $80.
Lip Care:
The cold and windy holiday weather brings chapped and dry lips. So, another Christmas gift idea for mom or even a stocking stuffer for her would be lip care treatments.
Since every lip balm should have a sun protection factor, visit the Skin Cancer Foundation website for some recommended product listings. Avoid petroleum-derived products; it leads to more dry lips.
Prices for lip treatments can range from $10 to $50. Other great formulas to look for are:
Aloe Vera
Anti-Ozonate
Coconut Oil
Green Tea Extract
Shea Butter
Vitamin E and C
A great skin care Christmas gift for mom will make her look and feel younger. And gifts like that are truly priceless.
The Positive and Negative of Osmosis Pur Medical Skin Care
Posted by siravich in Retinol Wrinkle Cream on January 7, 2012

With products that are chiral, you will find you receive a very result oriented outcome and feel confident you are protecting your skin. No harsh ingredients to make your skin irritated or sensitive. Dr. Johnson is a big believer in not bringing trauma to the skin by overly aggressive ingredients that may harm the skin’s protective barrier. Osmosis takes it a step further and uses the very best ingredients and brings them to the consumer at a price they can afford.
The Positive Reasons for using Osmosis.
The whole premise for the Osmosis skin care line is to remodel the skin and help to heal skin conditions below the surface of the epidermis. This entails usage for anti-aging, acne, rosacea, melasma and psoriasis. There have been many testimonial from clients that have used these products successfully. It is important to follow a good regime to bring the best results for each individuals particular skin issues.
As with good medical grade type skin care, it is best to purchase from your esthetician or physician. It is very beneficial for the consumer to understand the products correctly and how to use them. Osmosis has made this easy with the products they manufacture. Their kits are put together with the proper products to use for each skin type. Having someone to guide you to find the best results for your skin is important.
At times when you start a good regime for your skin, you may find that your skin may go through a transition period.. This is not unpleasant. Underlying bacteria or pigmentation may come up from below and positive changes start happening. With proper guidance, this will pass and beautiful skin will appear. The total outlook is lovely, healthy, vibrant skin. Skin you may feel proud of and know you look more youthful. There are many products that sit on top of the epidermis and do not make any significant changes to the skin. With Osmosis you can be sure it is working from within the dermis where it counts.
It is possible to be ageless today. You do not need plastic surgery or botox. By using the proper products and routine, you can turn back on clock on aging. Repair sun damaged skin, acneic skin and that red irritated skin from rosacea or psoriasis. Osmosis helps to rid the skin of the bad skin cells and restore them to give you a healthy vibrant complexion.
As you age, you must keep your skin hydrated and exfoliate the dead skin cells. Osmosis will do this for you. The older you are, the less your skin exfoliates naturally. Let products such as Mend, Correct, Renew or Boost do this or you. The key ingredient in these products is Retinaldehyde. Stronger than retinol and more gentle on the skin. No negative side effects, just safe noticeable results. The exfoliation is very mild as not to bring distress to the skin.
Two of the latest products Osmosis has brought to the public are Catalyst and Skin Nutrition. Both can help repair the DNA of the skin. You will see improvement in pigmentation, acne, rosacea, and for everyone, anti-aging. Both products are far superior to many ingredients on the market and way ahead of their time. They are made for all skin types. The most popular of all the Osmosis products is Replenish. Replenish is an antioxidant, which brings all the nutrition your skin is craving for.
The Negatives of using Osmosis
The negatives of Osmosis is using the product for a week and not giving it a chance to work. When you repair the skin, you have to give your products time to work. Osmosis Skin Care recommends a full 30 days to start seeing the type of results you have always dreamed of. It is important for recommendations on the right products for your skin type. Products that will be effective for your skins special requirements. Start with an easy simple regime, and add a new product when you are ready to take your skin to the next level. Not using Osmosis is the negative. Look younger each day. Turn the hands of time back.

Quit Smoking and Improve Your Looks
Posted by siravich in Retinol Wrinkle Cream on December 31, 2011
Many years of research by reputable medical bodies has shown that:
nicotine is more addictive for women
women who smoke have twice the additional risk of heart attacks, strokes and lung cancer
lung cancer kills three times the number of American women than breast cancer
smoking is linked to early menopause
the aging effect of smoking on the skin is worse for women
Smoking cigarettes accelerates the aging process. And this is proven!
Here’s What Smoking Does to Women
Smoking Harms Your Hair
Smokers are 4 times more likely to have these problems with their hair. The chemicals in cigarettes starve your hair of oxygen and make it dull, lifeless and brittle. Smoking can cause your hair to break off. It can cause dull, lank and smelly hair. It contributes to hair loss, greying and balding.
Smoking Ruins Your Skin
It causes premature aging of the skin and ruins your complexion. Loss of skin glow and vitality. It causes premature facial wrinkling and leathery skin. Smoking can also lead to crow’s feet. Smoking causes varicose veins. Your skin develops poor healing abilities. It can cause skin cancer. Improves chances of developing psoriasis. It slows your skin’s healing rate.
Smoking reduces the amount of blood flowing to the skin and dries it out. It constructs the tiny capillaries that nourish the skin. Smoking prevents oxygen and nutrients from getting to the skin. Over time, this means the skin loses elasticity and gets more wrinkled. The appearance of wrinkled, pale and grayish skin is four to five times more frequent in smokers than non-smokers. In 1971 an extensive study showed that the facial skin of long-term smokers was so terribly wrinkled that they looked as if they were 20 years older! Talk about not aging well.
Quitting smoking improves the blood supply to the skin and gives previously pale skin a more ‘natural’ appearance. A smoker’s skin is more apt to wrinkle because the skin’s vitamin A content is low compared with that for a non-smoker. Vitamin A protects the skin against strong chemical substances that may damage or destroy it. Smoking also gets in the way of absorption of vitamin C – a vital antioxidant for skin protection and health By quitting, you will improve your skin tone and colour. You are less likely to get wrinkles around your eyes and mouth from squinting when smoke gets in your eyes and puckering up when you draw on a cigarette.
Tips to Improve Your Skin
The grayish color of the skin is one of the many problems caused by smoking. If you want to look fresh, “attack” the problem internally. Eat fruits rich in vitamin C and foods containing zinc. They stimulate the formation of collagen which is important for the skin. Eat wheat, oat flakes and fish – they are the main source of zinc. To replenish the lack of vitamin A, eat lettuce and carrots. Vitamin E is “responsible” for the youth of your skin. Exfoliate, get facials, use night creams, and take supplements and multivitamins. One of the best multivitamins on the market for smokers and those people who are trying to quit, is Smokers Choice(TM) MultiVitamins.
Nutritional support is a must if you are in this category. As most people know, smoking depletes levels of essential vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants from the body system. Smokers Choice(TM) is a vitamin and antioxidant supplement to address the nutritional needs of today’s smokers, those who have recently quit & people exposed to secondhand smoke. Smokers Choice(TM) is specially formulated with powerful antioxidants. It has more of the ingredients shown to help your body fight the harmful effects of smoking.
And, it is designed to be safer for smokers than other products on the market. Smokers Choice(TM) is specifically designed to counteract the potential effect that smoking may have. This formula encompasses those nutrients known to be depleted by smoking and have been shown to be at very low levels in most smokers. By replacing these nutrients and adding other nutrients known to strengthen the natural immune system, you may be able to greatly reduce the risks associated with smoking. Smokers Choice(TM) contains no Beta-Carotene. Beta-Carotene has been found in multiple clinical studies to be potentially harmful to cigarette smokers. Yet, just about every multi-vitamin on the market contains Beta-Carotene. That’s simply because those products are designed for non-smokers.
More Tips to Improve Your Skin
consume a daily diet of healthy food
eat many fresh vegetables and fruits
eat fish and chicken
take vitamin C daily
drink at least 1.5 liter mineral water daily
limit the alcohol and caffeine intake
exercise regularly
apply nourishing creams every day and use a night cream
your skin care products should contain retinol, vitamins and antioxidant.
Smoking Wrecks Your Teeth & Gums
Teeth Discoloration and Stains. Causes tooth decay and hot/cold sensitivity. It can cause oral or mouth cancer. It can lead to premature tooth loss and bad breath Gum disease. Smoking makes it harder for saliva to remove germs in your mouth so you have more chance of getting gum disease. Causes changes in the way you bite. Frequent bad breath. It can cause loose teeth or the gums separating from the teeth. It affects how partials and dentures fit.
Smoking and Your Lips
Smoking makes your lips dark and unattractive. The cells situated in the bottom of the epidermis are affected by smoking causing your lips to darken.
Smoking and Your Eyes
If you smoke, you risk developing cataracts and macular degeneration (deterioration of the retina of the eye resulting in the gradual loss of eyesight). This condition affects smokers nearly twice as much as non-smokers. Unfortunately, the risk of macular degeneration is only slightly reduced after giving up smoking.
If you smoke, you run an increased risk of developing cataracts. Smoking is one of the leading causes of visual impairment and blindness. The blood vessels in the retina are sensitive, and can be easily damaged by smoke. Smoking gives rise to a bloodshot appearance in the mucous membrane of the eye.
How Smoking Affects Your Hands
Poor circulation causing cold fingers. One cigarette can reduce the blood supply to the skin for more than an hour.
Peripheral vascular disease.
It causes either acute or chronic ischemia (lack of blood supply). Arteriosclerosis of the extremities is a disease of the blood vessels characterized by narrowing and hardening of the arteries that supply the legs and feet. This causes a decrease in blood flow that can injure nerves and other tissues.
Tar stained fingers and fingernails.
Smoking Can Alter Your Body Shape
Smoking can create an imbalance in women’s hormone levels, which can lead to changes in body shape. You may have heard the saying that smokers tend to be thinner than non-smokers. However, smoking actually affects the endocrinal system – the glands that secrete hormones – and changes body shape, increasing the waist-to-hip ratio. Therefore, despite possibly weighing less, smokers tend to be pot-bellied with spindly legs, probably due to smoking upsetting the hormone levels, thus causing smokers to store the normal amount of fat in an abnormal way, which gives rise to the ‘apple’ shape. Quitting means your body can get back to normal and recover from the effects of smoking. Stop accelerating the aging process. Undo the damage wrought by smoking.
