The Art of Choosing The Right Anti-Aging Products

Although the market is swarmed with so many anti-aging products, it doesn’t mean that you can use and experiment around with these products because doing so can bring disaster to your skin instead of a solution.

In choosing what is the best anti-aging product for your skin, it is a must that you conduct some research in order to take a peek into various anti-aging products available on the market that can help you. Here are some guidelines in choosing the right anti-aging products for you.

1. Know your skin type first. You can do this by consulting a dermatologist or by conducting a self-test. Knowing your skin type is very important in choosing a anti-aging product because this will determine what products and recommended brands and ingredients that are safe for your skin.

2. Opt for anti-aging products that contain soluble Vitamin A, C, and E. When choosing any anti-aging product, it is best that they contain water-based Vitamin A, C, and E because these are the most effective ingredients that can help reduce the signs of aging such as wrinkles, crow's feet and other fine lines.

3. Choose anti-aging products that have a high concentration of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Consider choosing products that contain the antioxidants for the skin such as Ascorbyl Acid or Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A or beta carotene and Flavonoids because these can help you to achieve firm and younger looking skin while nourishing, strengthening and moisturizing your aging skin.

4. Look for anti-aging products that contain fine crystals. Fine crystals or ingredients of the same properties can help exfoliate the skin while removing dead skin cells that contribute to the skin's aging. Anti-aging products that have fine crystals can help remove dead skin cells that reduce the formation of lines. These anti-aging products may include wrinkle erasers, facial and body scrubs, toners, eye creams, various cleansers, hydrators, and moisturizers.

5. Choose anti-aging products that can be applied or used not only on the face but on other parts of the body as well. It is important that you choose anti-aging products that can do wonders for the neck and hands because these are the parts of the body where early signs of aging are visible.

Bear in mind that you must set up a routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing your skin before using these anti aging products and make sure you use them as directed by the manufacturers instructions.

''Super-Antioxidant'' Study to Examine Relationship between Anti-Aging

A new “Super-Antioxidant” study hopes to prove that the fountain of youth is on the horizon, thanks to advances in anti-aging that are attributed to regenerating skin at the cellular level. A team of researchers, led by Dr. Kimberly Stone, M.D., a leading Denver-based board certified dermatologist, are studying a blend of Protandim^® (which has been clinically proven to slow the progressive rate of aging www.protandim.com) and LP Derma Complex (shown to effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other effects of aging upon the skin) to determine if a topical cream made of these combined ingredients will play a pivotal role in providing proven methods to age gracefully.

“Early indications show that the combined formulation of Protandim with LP Derma Complex may further accelerate the skin’s innate ability to rejuvenate itself. This important study will use a state-of-the-art digital imaging assessment system to study the effects of this promising discovery. Images taken of the study group’s skin will be analyzed in a quantifiable way to measure marked improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, age spots and hyperpigmentation, pore size, skin texture and UV damage after being treated with the formula (the cream developed by combining Protandim and LP Derma Complex). In addition, others scientific instruments will be utilized to measure skin moisture and elasticity. The results of the study will be available later this year,” said David Brown, CEO and President of LifeVantage, the maker of Protandim.

According to Dr. Brooks Hybertson, a foremost authority on aging and antioxidants, as well as a member of the LifeVantage scientific advisory board, “The goal behind the marriage of Protandim and LP Derma is to further boost the body’s own production of antioxidant enzymes at the cellular level with enough neutralizing capacity to eliminate the age-related increase in free radical damage.”

Thermage and Reliant Technologies to Join Forces

Modern society's increased emphasis on looking young and fit has caused men to begin to take an increasing interest in their appearance. They're spending more time shopping, working out, and even having cosmetic treatments to present their ideal image in both their professional and personal lives. While men in places like New York, Miami, and Los Angeles started the male plastic surgery trend, the number of men having cosmetic surgery in Wisconsin has steadily increased.
In 2007, the top 3 cosmetic surgery procedures among male patients at Fox Valley Plastic Surgery in Wisconsin and across the nation were rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), eyelid surgery, and liposuction. According to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, rhinoplasty was the cosmetic surgery procedure most frequently performed for men in 2007, with male patients making up 26% of all rhinoplasty procedures. Nose surgery can be an effective option for men who want a more aesthetically pleasing nose or who need to correct breathing problems.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is another popular option for men in Wisconsin. This plastic surgery procedure corrects droopy skin above the eyes and "bags" under the eyes that can make men look tired and old. During eyelid surgery, excess fat deposits and loose skin are removed from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Scarring is minimal and the procedure can offer the added benefit of increasing visibility for patients whose vision is impaired by sagging skin.

"It makes sense that men are becoming more and more interested in cosmetic surgery," adds Wisconsin plastic surgeon Dr. William Doubek, who joined Dr. Janssen's practice in 1998. "Facial cosmetic surgery in particular can help men look their best in their careers and in their personal lives. But we also see many men who choose cosmetic surgery to enhance their body shape."

The most popular body contouring procedure for men is liposuction. Some men incorrectly think that this is a surgery to achieve weight loss, when in fact the procedure is only used for body shaping. For instance, it is an ideal treatment for love handles and small rolls of fat on the belly that don't respond to diet and exercise. The surgeons at Fox Valley Plastic Surgery work to ensure that they create a manly body contour to meet the goals of their male patients.
