Skin Care Treatments that Can Turn Back the Hands of Time

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) May 13, 2013

According to an April 29, 2013 Miami Herald article entitled The Skin Essentials that Help Turn Back the Clock (go to goo.gl/mHo7W), having youthful skin is quite crucial for many in todays society. However, undergoing surgery is not always a desirable option for many. Fortunately, various other treatment options exist to tighten saggy skin, reduce and eliminate facial lines, and smooth wrinkles away.

Of course we can discuss treatment options but the most important skincare tip I can give is prevent and minimize skin damage related to the suns rays, says Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills. Use a quality sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day.

The article recommends eating antioxidant-rich foods and taking dietary supplements as good preventive health measures. Examples of topical antioxidants include ascorbic acid, green tea, oxofullerane, idedenone, and resveratrol.

According to the article, injectable neurotoxins, such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, can effectively turn back the clock. As the facial muscles move, they fold the skin many times creating new wrinkles. Neurotoxins can be used to smooth the lines on the forehead and the area between the eyebrows, as well as reduce crow's feet.

Dermal fillers can be used to add volume to the face and fill in static wrinkles. Some good examples of dermal fillers composed of hyaluronic acid include Perlane, Restylane, Belotero, and Juv

A Foolproof Plan for Healing Winter-Dry Hands

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) January 31, 2013

Between the dry, cold air outdoors, indoor heating, frequent hand-washing and using alcohol-based hand sanitizers, hands really take a beating this time of year. Is there a way to keep hands clean without damaging skin? Cosmetics Cop Paula Begoun and her team from the best-selling book Dont Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me reveal a foolproof plan for enduring winters chill while keeping hands looking their best (and keeping germs at bay).

It sounds so simple, but the number one thing you can do is moisturize after every hand-washing or using hand sanitizer, explains Begoun. Being as diligent about moisturizing as you are about cleaning your hands is the number one way to start having soft skin again. And all alcohol-based hand sanitizers claiming to be moisturizing are anything but! Given the amount of alcohol these products contain and how drying alcohol is, there isnt much hope of those products helping dry skin in any way.

Not just any moisturizer will do, though. As Begoun says, Whether labeled hand cream or something else, make sure whatever you use to hydrate hands contains a brilliant blend of emollients, repairing ingredients, and antioxidants. Each of these plays a role in repairing skins surface, which is chipped away at and damaged with each hand washing or squirt of sanitizer.
