Peptide Anti-Aging Facial Cream

I couldn’t wait to try out this absolutely fantastic Anti-Aging Facial cream. As the French would say, it is “La crème de la crème!” It is jam-packed with some of the best anti-aging ingredients known to mankind, so I ordered it online from Amazon and it came to my doorstep within a week. I absolutely love this antiaging cream! It’s called Peptide 6 Anti-Aging Facial Cream by Mango Madness Skin Care. It’s rich, luxurious and leaves my skin looking and feeling more youthful – softer than anything else I’ve tried.

Its ingredients include the maximum dosage of six of the most potent peptides currently available, including Argireline® and Matrixyl which are both stronger than the antiaging properties of Vitamin C and it works quicker than Retinol but without the side effects of Retinol. The peptides in this marvelous antiaging cream gave me a noticeable difference to my skin within a two week period. My wrinkles appeared shallower, my skin appeared stronger, less wilted than before. Peptides, you see, (the building blocks of proteins), in this cream made it all possible. The science also proves that peptides build collagen that substance we begin to lose as we age and lose the volume in the face.

The Peptide 6 Anti-Aging Facial Cream comes in a 30 ml, 1 oz jar and sells for just $59.00 and it’s worth every penny in my books. Peptides, the research shows are supposed to improve the depth of wrinkles, fill out lost facial volume and smooth the skin. How do they do this? They are the “messengers” of the natural daily process of tissue repair.

The following is a description of the actual peptides used in the Peptide 6 Antiaging Facial cream:

"Argirilene® is an anti-wrinkle inhibitor that will reduce pre-existing wrinkle depth and relax facial tension.
Leuphasyl compliments the action of Argirilene by modulating muscle contraction, especially beneficial for reducing depth of wrinkles around the eye and forehead areas. Octapeptide is an elongation of Argirilene. By extending and lengthening the muscle under tension, it reduces wrinkle depth in your skin.
Matrixyl 3000 contains 2 lipopeptides, which leads to the synthesis of new collagen. This peptide stimulates Collagen I, III & IV. It also increases elastin while repairing the skin matrix and epidermis.
Tripeptide, a safe, synthetic snake venom, temporarily debilitates the muscle, keeping it from contracting, thereby smoothing lines in wrinkle prone areas. These peptides can significantly modulate muscle contraction, thereby destabilizing the cell so it cannot release the neurotransmitters that make the muscle contract. This prevents the formation of lines and wrinkles."

Instead of heading to a cosmetic surgeon so fast, try Peptide 6, because it’s a safer, cheaper and milder option to consider before you begin to have Botox (Botulinum Toxin) injected into your face. Because it builds up volume and collagen, it’s much easier and cheaper as an alternative to Botox. Peptide 6 can also work on sun damaged skin and help repair the aging that comes with that situation.

You can use Peptide 6 Anti-Aging Facial Cream as both your day cream and your night repair cream. I’m absolutely loving this one and found it of a higher quality than the store-bought antiaging creams I’ve used before. I doubt I’ll ever go back to anything else.

Suzanne Somers Interviewed About Ageism in Hollywood

Suzanne Somers was interviewed on TV on The Insider show about ageism in Hollywood and her views on celebrity infidelity. Although some stars in Hollywood such as Jane Fonda, Sharon Stone, Juliette Binoche and Julian Moore do find good roles, generally, there are not a lot of interesting roles for female actors in Hollywood. It seems that once an actress hits 30 - 35 years of age, the good acting roles dry up. Male actors find acting roles, no matter what their age. They are often paired up in relationships with female stars almost half their age or less.

Hollywood stars have to undergo botox, plastic and cosmetic surgery and starve themselves just to remain "young looking" as the roles become less available.

Not only does ageism exist in Hollywood, ageism is very present in the workforce. It is more difficult for older women to find work in the workforce. Ageism, like any other prejudice pre-judges a human being.

What can you do to fight ageism? If you are in a position to hire, don't hire a person just based on their looks or youth. Hire the best person for the role and let their qualifications and experience guide your hiring decision. If you are in Hollywood, hire actors in the appropriate age group to play opposite the male star.

The ironic news about ageism in the workforce is that with declining population levels, corporations will have to rely on and hire older workers who want to work because there will be too many people collecting pensions and not enough young workers to support the pension system.

Looking your best as you grow older can be helped by using good antiaging creams, eat a healthy diet, exercise to keep yourself in the best shape. Get a great haircut and don't dress in old fuddy clothes. Dress professionally for the workplace, not trying to be a 22 year old, but wear classy, nice styled clothes. If you need it, see your cosmetic surgery doctor for some collagen injections, but don't overdo it. The final advice is, get rid of your stress and keep a happy and optimistic mood. Let your happiness spread around.

Slowly, attitudes will change in the workplace and hopefully Hollywood will make movies that reflect real life more closely. I mean, how often do you see a 67 year old man who's all saggy and baggy, married or falling in love with a 22 year old hot thing? It doesn't happen very often unless the old man has stacks of cash.

Artecoll

A Better Anti-Aging Cosmetic Filler


Looking for a cosmetic surgery which takes the years off your face? I will share with you this great anti-aging tip – a process I am definitely a fan of. Another anti-aging cosmetic filler like Botox is a product called Artecoll, made by Canderm Pharma Inc. One of the benefits of Artecoll is that it is a much longer lasting filler than either Botox or Restylane. Since the 1930s, it has been used for eye lenses, dental work and bone repair, so it has a known safety factor for quite some time now.


As an anti-aging treatment, it is used to add volume and structure to your skin as it ages. It is used by clinicians as a solution for acne scars, frowns, laugh lines (nasal labial folds) and thin lips. It is quite successful in building up lost volume in the face.



This bio-compatible solution is made of collagen and microscopic PMMA beads and added lidocaine to help with the pain of the injection site. By stimulating natural collagen production, it “binds” with the collagen building volume and structure to your face where required, this whole process takes from two to three months to be activated. Occasionally a patient will require two or three applications to get the results you are looking for as an anti-aging treatment.


How long will this antiaging procedure last? Artecoll will last for 10 or more years. To get Artecoll, you must have an experienced doctor inject Artecoll. One in a thousand people can be allergic to Artecoll so if you are worried, you can have a sensitivity test performed on your skin. If Artecoll proves to be the option for you, then you may experience some redness, swelling, bumps, bruising and itchiness which you can deal with by using cold compresses and acetaminophen, These side effects will disappear in a few day. Another bonus besides getting lost volume replaced in your face is that there is no downtime with Artecoll. If you want you can have this done on your lunch hour and return to work that afternoon. However, I would recommend having it done on a Friday and if there is any redness of bruising, you have the weekend in front of you so the redness or bruising will subside.


Consult with your antiaging doctor to find out if Artecoll is the solution for you. As a booster to collagen production in your skin and an excellent way of giving back lost volume to your face, even though it is slightly higher in price than Botox, I highly recommend Artecoll injections.

Best AntiAging Cosmetic Procedures - Botox

When you decide it is time that you look into investigating cosmetic surgery or wrinkle fillers to improve your looks and feel better about yourself, there are many options available to you. Your first line of action should be to talk to your friends who have had these cosmetic procedures done before. Then do some research on the internet. And here is where I will help you with a brief summary of the Botox procedure. I will write further in new postings about other cosmetic procedures available to you. If the wrinkle filler Botox sounds like something you would be interested in, your next step is to book a consultation with an anti-aging specialist who will make the best suggestion to you. Botox is one of the most commonly used cosmetic procedures for filling in areas of your face which have formed wrinkles or depressions due to declining levels of collagen and elastin.

Botox is very commonly used today. It was first approved by the government for the treatment of childhood cerebral palsy, ophthalmic disorders and hyperactive muscles in 1997. Botox does not have many side effects, but the few that you might experience are really minimal, temporary, and reversible . Botox is mainly used for cosmetic purposes to decrease frown lines and crows feet and other small lines around the eyes. It was approved for cosmetic use in April, 2001.


How Botox works is that once injected, it relaxes the muscles that actually create the wrinkles giving the face a more relaxed and youthful look. The process can be done over a lunch hour and there is no downtime to the procedure.

What is Botox exactly? It is a purified protein which is injected into the area that needs it. It is used for frown lines in the forehead and wrinkles around the eyes. After injection into the muscle, it causes the muscle to relax, smoothing out the wrinkle which has formed over the muscle. It does not affect the sensory nerves so you will still have feeling in the area of the injection. I advise you to only an experienced doctor inject the Botox because they are experienced and will be able to evaluate the correct dose and the exact injection site.

As far as safety is concerned, Botox has been used in ophthalmology for over 10 years and for cosmetic injection surgery for at least seven years. You may experience a slight bruising in the area after injections, but this is temporary thing. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, you should not use Botox.

Botox injections effects are temporary and can last anywhere from three to four months. After that time, you will need to get more injections to maintain the effect. The good thing is that after using Botox a few times in one area, you will find the effect of Botox may start to last for a longer period of time.

If you are interested in pursuing this best antiaging procedure, please contact your cosmetic surgeon or anti-aging doctor to find out if Botox is right choice for you.
