Dead Sea Minerals - Anti Wrinkles

Anti-wrinkle creams

Anti-wrinkle creams could help reduce the appearance of aging. Generally, these creams are not permanent wrinkle removers, but either help remove the dead outer layer of skin or hydrate the skin and plump it up, giving the appearance of removing wrinkles. Some results can be seen after about 30 days. But, once you stop using the product, the wrinkles return, so ongoing product use can become expensive depending on which cream you buy. In addition, the effectiveness of particular brands have not been scientifically studied and published in medical journals.

Given the limitations as to their success, here are some recommended products that have been reviewed:

1. Products with Vitamins C & E: The American Academy of Dermatology at www.aad.org, published a paper, "Facing the Age Old Question…How to Turn Back the Hands of Time." Dermatologist, Arielle N.B. Kauvar, recommended "over-the-counter topical products with ingredients such as the anti-oxidants vitamins C & E." However, Dr. Kauvar did not specify any particular brand.

2. Products with AHA (alpha hydroxy acid): According to Dr. Kauvar, products with alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) can "help remove the dead outer layers of skin, leaving the face with a fresh, younger appearance. AHAs are particularly beneficial for wrinkles around the mouth and eyes."

Dr. Kauvar did not recommend any particular brand, and pointed out that the most important way to prevent aging skin is to protect it with sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 15 or higher. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, sun exposure is the number 1 cause of aging skin (www.aad.org).

3. Avotone and Hydroderm: A website that claims to have examined over 17 different wrinkle treatment products ranked the two most effective. Avotone was ranked #1, and Hydroderm was #2. Avotone uses acetyl hexapeptide in their cream and costs about $90 for 1 oz. Hydroderm's ingredients include collagen and costs about $80 for 1 oz. (see www.wrinkle-treatment-reviews.com)

4. Prescriptives Intensive Rebuilding Moisturizer: The Oprah Winfrey Show (www.Oprah.com) featured a segment on anti-aging. Guest dermatologist, Dr. Karyn Grossman, recommended Prescriptives Intensive Rebuilding Moisturizer, a product that she helped develop. Dr. Grossman says, "the progressive build and fill technology of the product works within the skin to strengthen, firm and lift while it also works on the outer layer of the skin to decrease the appearance of surface line and wrinkles." This product costs $95 for a 2 oz jar. (For more information, see www.prescriptives.com)

5. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream with SPF 15: Neutrogena had high ratings from consumers at www.epinions.com and is also recommended by a website that claims to review the reviews at www.ConsumerSearch.com. Neutrogena's product contains Retinol and a Sun Protection Factor, SPF 15. The cost is about $10 for a 1 oz. tube which is considerably less expensive than the other products listed above.

You could try a less expensive anti-wrinkle cream like Neutrogena rather than spend a lot of money on expensive products whose effectiveness has not been substantiated by scientific studies.

It's best to prevent aging of the skin by having a healthy lifestyle and protect the skin from the sun.

Anti Wrinkle

The battle against wrinkles should be started long before the first tiny lines appear. Keeping your skin moisturized, protecting it from the sun's harmful rays, and maintaining healthy habits regarding nutrition, smoking and alcohol use are the first lines of defense, and should be practiced by all adults. Even if wrinkles have already formed, these practices will help protect against further aging of the skin.

In the past, wrinkles and sagging skin were pretty much inevitable, but that's not true any more. If you have wrinkles, even deep creases, there are now products that do an excellent job of decreasing them. New technology developed by jb has resulted in anti-wrinkle treatments that can penetrate to the lower layers of the epidermis to repair damage caused by muscle contractions, breakdown of collagen and elastin, free radicals, and other environmental pollutants.

The two most popular and effective products are alphaDerma CE and DermaExcel 7. Both contain a potent 10 percent Argireline® , a peptide that interrupts the chemical signal from neuron to muscle that causes it to contract. Even when you're sleeping, muscle contraction lingers, etching lines deeper. By interrupting that signal, Argireline® relaxes the muscles and wrinkles smooth out instantly.

alphaDerma CE also contains DMaE, often called "a facelift in a jar" for its ability to bring new firmness to sagging skin. antioxidants, collagen, elastin and alpha lipoic acid round out a full range of treatments in one easy to use product. For deeper, more stubborn creases, use DermaExcel 7 for spot treatment. You'll be glad you did!

Cosmetic Advantages of Products from the Dead Sea

The beneficial effects of the Dead Sea's raw materials on the skin and their unique therapeutic and beautifying powers have been recognized since ancient times. Cleopatra, considered the most beautiful woman in the world, went to great expense to obtain exclusive rights over the Dead Sea area. At her command, pharmaceutical and cosmetic factories were built near the Dead Sea. Their remains can still be seen today at Ein Bokek and Ein Gedi.

Following in the tradition of ancient times, about 50 modern plants now manufacture cosmetics and skin-care products based on minerals from the Dead Sea. Scientists at these plants have developed lines of mineral-rich cosmetic products which are exported all over the world as: Dead Sea Cosmetic products.

The use of Dead Sea bath salts at home is an effective way to relax and absorb the minerals of the Dead Sea. Research has proven the efficiency of Dead Sea bath salts in alleviating skin diseases such as psoriasis, by treatment that can be administered at home by using about 2.2 lbs for each bath. It is also highly beneficial for relieving muscle tension or for simply relaxing and enjoying a rejuvenating experience.

The uniqueness of many Dead Sea cosmetic lines lies in the key ingredient - mineral mud. Dead Sea mud rich in minerals with similar chemical composition to Dead Sea waters can either be applied to the entire body or just parts, and is also popular as a facial mud masque. Professor Zalmanovitch, a leading American dermatologist, tested the Dead Sea mud masques on thirty women of different age groups and varying skin tones. They found the facial mud masques stimulating, tightening, cleansing and invigorating, leaving the skin with a refreshing glow.

The clay's remarkable absorbency reaches deep into the pores, thoroughly cleansing and removing grime which impedes the nourishing process. Through reverse osmosis, minerals from the mud nourishes the skin and restores its vitality. The mineral action also works to tighten the pores, helping skin to look and feel its best. Superfine grains allow for easy application, even coverage and easy removal. Facial mud masques from the Dead Sea come in various strengths of mud and salinity, making them suitable for different skin types including oily, normal and dry skins.

The stimulating effect of the Dead Sea mud is so powerful that it should be used gradually until the skin becomes accustomed to the active ingredients. Mud masques for oily skins should be used for up to three times a week, for normal skins twice a week and for dry skins just once a week. An expert should be consulted as to the suitability of masques for each skin type. Dead Sea mud can be used in the convenience of one's s home for the relief of various aches and pains. It can be applied heated to relieve pain caused by joint inflammation and easing morning stiffness. The Dead Sea mud is excellent for softening scaly, dry parts of the body, such as knees and elbows and it is also highly effective for various skin and scalp problems. Used on the scalp, it helps thicken roots enhancing renewed growth.

The possible role of Dead Sea minerals on skin smoothing was studied recently. Skin smoothing was tested by applying three preparations ; a - liquid gel with anti wrinkle agents and 1% "Osmoter" , Dead Sea mineral solution b - the same gel with anti-wrinkle agent only and c - a control gel without anti wrinkle agent, on skin smoothing.

At the end of the four weeks application period the liquid gel with anti - wrinkle agents, enriched with 1% of a unique Dead Sea mineral rich solution, "Osmoter", had a skin roughness parameter reduction of 40.7% in average. The liquid gel with the same anti-wrinkle agents, but without "Osmoter", showed an average skin roughness parameter reduction of 27.8%. The control gel, without anti-wrinkle agents or "Osmoter", showed a reduction of only 10.4%.

These surprising results were found to be superior in comparison with 45 leading cosmetic brands, in smoothing the skin's s surface and reducing wrinkle depth and skin roughness by Dead Sea minerals.

This finding may allow a declaration of "A Dead Sea's Anti-wrinkle Effect" , and since this effect is one of most desired effects from the consumer point of view, it is quite certain that Dead Sea mineral based products will continue to be at least as successful in its sales in the future as they are today.

Shampoos produced from the minerals of the Dead Sea, condition, cleanse and refresh hair and scalp and are available for dry / normal or oily hair types. There is also a special anti-dandruff shampoo containing unique ingredients from the Dead Sea.
