European Secret For Younger Looking Skin
Alpha Lipoic Acid ingredient use in a cosmetic products like Firming Serum – Wrinkle Relaxer and Lifting Complex and for it to be effective the right inclusion factor must be used, and for this reason few cosmetic companies use this as an active ingredient in their products.

Applied Firming Serum – Wrinkle Relaxer and Lifting Complex topically to the skin it has amazing antioxidant properties and some research has been done in vitro on human dermal fibroblasts in cell-culture systems. The results were interesting, it is undeniably a very powerful antioxidant that helps to increase the cell’s metabolism and also inactivates hydroxyl and peroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen, hypochlorous acid, and nitric oxide, while at the same time acting as a catalyst and chelator.

Alpha lipoic acid has been around for a long time, it plays two very important roles in the cell. Firstly,it is a powerful antioxidant that is active against a broad spectrum of free radicals in both aqueous as well as lipid surroundings, and due to its size it can access nearly the entire body. Secondly,it is a fundamental co-enzyme in two vital reactions that lead to the production of energy at cellular level. These reactions are used with great success in skincare and cosmetic products. It is this action – working in both aqueous and lipid environment that makes it so useful in cosmetics, as the skin cell is composed of both these environments, and this one very effective antioxidant can therefore act upon both these parts of the cell. Functioning of Alpha Lipoic Acid It is readily transported through cellular membranes and helps to recycle other antioxidants – when vitamin E for instance quenches lipid peroxidation, and a vitamin E radical is formed, alpha lipoic acid will reduce it back to the active state of vitamin E. The same reaction occurs in the presence of the anti-oxidant, vitamin C. Although it may not sound important, it is vital to note that alpha lipoic acid is active in both water and lipid environments, since the human cell consists of various parts, and these parts are either water or lipid based – this particular ingredient can work in both to protect against free radical damage. It furthermore helps to fight inflammation, as well as edema (water retention), caused by such inflammation. Alpha Lipoic Acid and Aging Free radical damage to the cell, and therefore the cells which form the skin, leads to premature ageing and skin wrinkling. If the concentration and presence of free radicals can be contained within the cell, far less oxidative stress and damage will be caused. This will result in aging being retarded at cellular level, as oxidative stress is one of the leading causes of aging.

Skin Brushing

The skin eliminates two pounds of toxic waste each day. When you think about what the body is actually eliminating on a daily basis, it makes perfect sense that the elements such as uric acid crystals, catarrh, and other acids can be more easily shed if the top layer of your dead skin is removed. In a way, the skin is similar in function to the kidneys, because it helps us get rid of unwanted and unnecessary uric acids.
     Think of your skin like a thin layer of dough that surrounds your body. Even though it weighs twice as much as the liver or the brain, it receives only a third of the blood that circulates throughout your body. Clothes prevent the skin from being able to breathe, as it should. In fact, we don’t even sweat like we were meant to.     Wearing synthetic fibers, like polyester and nylon, prevents proper perspiration. Natural fabrics like cotton help absorb toxins and waste material being eliminated from the skin. All of this stagnant behavior to our skin increases the need and importance of body brushing.
     The skin becomes inactive and can not properly be used as a source of elimination as it should. Skin brushing also helps your body along in the middle of a healing crisis. There isn’t a soap available to cleanse your skin as well as skin brushing can. We make new skin every twenty-four hours, so removing the top layer of dead tissue and cells to expose the healthy lively layer of skin beneath that is the best body cleansing available.

How to skin brush
      Start your day every morning by using a natural bristle brush that looks like a shoe shining brush. Make sure you use only a natural bristle, because synthetic fibers such as nylon will irritate your skin. You want to brush your dry skin in an elongated upward motion toward the heart for two to three minutes every morning. Brushing wet skin can pull or sag your skin and defeat the purpose of removing that dead, dry outer layer.
     Start with your feet and ankles, and work your way up the body to your calves and thighs. Really concentrate on brushing the lymphatic areas of your body (the backs of your knees, your inner thighs, and under your arms) to stimulate those glands and get them started on flushing out those toxins. Brush each arm and hand. Gently brush up your stomach and tush, shoulders and back. Finish this regimen by making sure you cover the entire surface of your body, excluding your breasts and face. The brushing should not irritate you. It may take a couple of days to get used to it. You will feel the difference in your skin in less than a week.
     Skin brushing also helps reduce cellulite, aids in the digestive process, tightens the skin, and stimulates the lymph glands to help the body perform at its peak level. Brush before working out so that you sweat evenly all over. Too many people sweat only under their arms and from their faces during a workout. Skin brushing really opens your pores and allows your body to sweat evenly all over, which releases all those toxins from every area of your body. On mornings brush before you take a shower so that you can rinse the excess residue off you body.
     You should use a special soft brush designed for your face if you are going to brush it. These brushes can be easily found in most health food stores. A loofah face sponge works in a similar way, and you can easily get a loofah at most cosmetic or drug stores.
     The best way to understand the benefits of skin brushing is to experience it firsthand. Most people find that it feels great, helps keep their skin younger-looking and more vibrant, and actually improves the overall beauty and health of the body. Dry skin brushing is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself, your skin, and your lymphatic system on a daily basis. Go ahead and give yourself the big brush-off.

Wrinkles On The Face

      Wrinkles on the face, eyes, and skin are some of the best indicators of what's happening with your health. Have you ever noticed a pattern of breaking out from stress. A zit that pops up in the same place over and over again. On your chin, forehead, or cheek.Have you ever observed that people who smoke have puffiness around both sides of their noses. This is telling you something.
     Your face can be divided into three sections, each coordinating to a different system in your body. Your forehead region from the eyebrows and up correlates to your nervous system.
     The first is the weak section of your face, and if you eat too many candy, sugar, tropical fruits, and alcohol, you'll show the signs (redness, pimples, and a rash) in this region.
      Your mouth and chin region below the nose corresponds with your digestive system. This section of your face, which is affected when you eat foods, like excessive salt, beef, animal fats, and processed foods .
      The third region, which is the rest of your face including your cheeks and jawls, has to do with your circulatory system. Smokers, heavy dairy eaters, and people who are going through hormonal changes are prone to breakouts or puffiness in this region.
      Each of these regions can be further divided into more specific areas that correspond to an organ or body function. For example, swelling or deep circles under the eyes could be a sign that your kidneys aren't functioning properly. Puffiness on either side of the nose could be a warning of a bronchial problem from too much smoking or overeating dairy products.
     Heavy vertical wrinkles above your nose and between your eyes could indicate a problem with your liver. Watch your consumption of excessive salty food and/or alcohol.
Heavy horizontal wrinkles on your forehead could indicate a problem with your circulation. Watch your consumption of excess liquids, especially drinks with chemicals and alcohol.
     The area above the upper lip corresponds to the sexual organs. If there is a horizontal wrinkle in this area when you smile, there could be a weakness in the sexual organs. Such a wrinkle in men could indicate weak sexual vitality. In women, it could mean a menstruation problem. This wrinkle is often associated with eating too many animal products, including all dairy products. Vertical lines in the area above the upper lip could mean that the sexual organs are shrinking. (great reason to give up smoking, which can create these lines and constrict your veins-everywhere.)
     The different parts of the lips correspond to your stomach. The top part of the lip is connected with the top part of your stomach. The middle part of the lips correspond to the middle part of your stomach, and the lower lip section corresponds to the lower stomach. The lower parts of the corners of your mouth are connected to the gall bladder, liver, and pancreas. The mid-part of the lower lip can indicate a condition in the intestines.
