Relastin offers clinically-proven help in combating sagging skin around the eyes by increasing the elastin content in your skin and improving elasticity around your eyes. Elastin is the protein in your skin that gives it firmness, tone, and elasticity. However, your body mostly produces elastin in your childhood, which means that our skin loses these qualities as the years pass.

By the time we hit our teens, these proteins have all but broken down and our skin shows the signs of aging. Relastin Eye Silk uses a Zinc Firming Complex that works on the cellular level to help your body produce more functional elastin in the skin. A study has shown that Relastin Eye Silk has the ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The amount of clinical research done on Relastin Eye Silk makes me feel confident that anyone can get great results using this product! This cream really lives up to its name, as it feels silky and it is an absolute pleasure to apply. The results are what make this product worth it, though, as I have only used it a short time but I have noticed a lot of improvement.

Relastin Eye Silk retails for $69.00. For more information on this product, you can visit relastin.com. If you are tired of sagging, wrinkled skin around your eyes, try out Relastin Eye Silk for some real, clinically proven results!

It is very important to strengthen the scalp in order to maintain the hair’s natural balance and vitality. Beginning at age 30, hair often becomes weaker and more fragile. Over time hair becomes more porous, less resistant and weak. Lacking in density and elasticity, weakened hair becomes dry and thin.

Using PHYTO Paris Phytodensium Anti-Aging Serum for Lifeless Hair replaces lost elements, helping to re-strengthen and protect your hair and scalp’s natural defenses leading to increased suppleness and shine.

Gataline age-defense derived from a carefully selected walnut extract, with anti-free radical properties, prevents hair damaged caused by the aging process and protects the hair from harmful environmental factors.

Blackcurrant seed oil, rich in omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, regenerates the hair. Birch and horsetail leaf extracts restore minerals to the hair fiber. A botanical protein complex increases the hair’s level of resistance and elasticity by forming a protective film over the surface. A tyrosine derivative helps boost the level of melanin and inhibits the appearance of gray hair.

Apply PHYTO Paris Phytodensium Anti-Aging Serum to clean towel-dried hair. Massage into the scalp and hair. Do not rinse and style hair as usual.

Start PHYTO Paris Phytodensium Anti-Aging Serum for Lifeless Hair before the holiday season is on full fledge and give yourself the gift that tops every girl’s wish list….the gift of beautiful hair!

This serum is made in France and is reasonably priced in the USA since you pay $32.00 for 1.7 fl. oz., which should last you several months.

Bonne chance!

The brains at Ageless Research Labs think that the true villains behind the aging process are the tons of free radicals that assault your skin throughout the day. According to the people behind the product, free radicals aren’t free because they cost your skin its youth! For that reason, Ageless Research Labs has created a serum and capsule supplement that should help you to avoid these dreaded free radicals.

DermaVio anti-aging capsules hit the scene in 2006 and received great feedback from customers that experienced wonderful results with the product, their skin growing more youthful and radiant. Ageless Research Labs did more research, discovered the most important part of the capsules, and turned it into a skin cream and the rest is history.

The DermaVio Solution is clinically proven to prevent the signs of aging by reducing wrinkles, hydrating the skin, forming collagen, reducing fine lines, and, of course, protecting from free radicals. The secret ingredient, though, is the L-Hydroxyproline, which is the part that sets the DermaVio Solution apart from the other products on the market.

With the economy how it is, DermaVio is a great and affordable way to get intensive skin treatment without having to get any kind of cosmetic surgery! DermaVio shows results on the first application and I was very impressed!

You can find the product online at DermaVio.com. Right now, they have a 2-month supply of the serum and capsules for $89.00 plus free shipping. DermaVio is also available at americarx.com and other retailers. The DermaVio Solution is not the cheapest product on the market, but you can be sure to see results!

Carol Alt is one of the most well-known supermodels in the world and has also managed to lead a respectable acting career as well. She created the Raw Essentials line after suffering from chronic illness and discovering that the artificial chemicals in skin products are mostly absorbed into her skin. Carol Alt decided that a Raw lifestyle is the only way to go.

The Raw-Juvenate Eye Recoup cream contains a stunning 82 percent pure aloe, an ingredient that hydrates, moisturizes, and soothes skin while keeping it firm and tight. It also contains virgin coconut oil, which contains powerful antioxidants, and mushroom extract, a natural skin lightener. Price: $22.50.

The Raw Vita Eye Serum helps to reduce the appearance of tired eyes, containing 84 percent pure aloe and virgin coconut oil. However, it also contains Tamanu oil, which is a Polynesian beauty secret that heals and smoothes skin. This product is great to use in the morning or evening. Price: $19.95.

Raw-Activate Facial Moisturizer contains the same ingredients as the Raw Vita Eye Serum, but it also contains pure citrus oil for a scent that is refreshing and revitalizing. The balance of the ingredients allows the skin to absorb the product more easily. Price: $29.50.

Raw-Finish Rigorous Face Scrub gently exfoliates the skin without creating micro-scratches by using Jojoba microbeads. This face scrub offers amazing results without the use of harsh chemicals. Price: $19.50.

Raw-Scue Night Restore Cream is a great natural product to use on your face at night. Since there are no harsh chemicals in this product, you can leave it on your skin all night without worrying about absorbing strange things into your bloodstream! Price: $26.00.

I feel comfortable using all of these Raw Essentials products because I know that everything I am putting onto my skin is something I could find in my garden – well, for the coconuts, I may need to go back to the Dominican Republic!

I have been using AMLA Skin Brightening Lotion, which is quite unique due to the fact that it contains the alma fruit.  A small sour fruit native to South Asia, alma fruit, also known as Emblica or Indian Gooseberry contains the highest natural concentration of vitamin C.  The lotion also combines vitamin B5 and E, sandalwood, saffron, licorice, fig, willow bark and mulberry, all of which gently and gradually work to brighten the skin and reduce uneven tones.  It has mango in it as well, which moisturizes the skin, leaving it feeling soft and light while it radiates with clarity and health.

Anokha Skin Care AMLA Skin Brightening Lotion contains no sulfates, parabens, petrolatum, mineral oil, artificial fragrances or colors.  As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Naidu has received samples from many skin care companies throughout the years and has tried everything.  Her goal has been to create natural-based products while using scents and textures that are very light and mild.

Apply a small amount of Anokha Skin Care AMLA Skin Brightening Lotion to damp, clean skin twice a day.  Best results will be seen in 4-6 weeks.

Anokha Skin Care AMLA Skin Brightening Lotion is available at www.anokhaskincare.com and at Dr. Naidu’s New York City medical practice, 160 East 72nd Street, 212-452-1230.

Priced at $28.00 for 1.6 fl oz

Anokha means ’unique’ in Urdu and this is truly one very ‘unique’, reasonably priced line that I am growing to love!

Two supplements that are backed by pages and pages of scientific research that I have started taking, though, are Oligonol and VitaPQQ. VitaPQQ contains PQQ, which was discovered in 2003 and is the first new vitamin to be discovered since 1948, and Oligonol is the world’s first commercially produced low weight molecular polyphenol.

PQQ has many wonderful functions in the body: it improves mitochondrial functions, which are the power plants of the body, it inhibits memory loss, and reduces the risk of neurological and immunological defects.

Oligonol is a supplement that comes from the lychee, an exotic Asian fruit, and it has many positive benefits as well, reducing fatigue, helping vascular relaxation and cardiovascular health, and slowing the process of skin wrinkling.

Taking these two supplements is a great way to help your skin and body look and feel so much younger. PQQ helps your body from the inside out, protecting the mitochondria in such a way that helps to slow the aging process, especially since some studies have suggested that mitochondrial damage is one of the main causes of aging.

Scientists have done many tests with Oligonol and these tests show that Oligonol has helped many people get rid of fine lines near their eyes, to smooth out wrinkles, and to help balance the complexion of the skin.

The science behind these two products is very convincing! Try these two products: you will be surprised.

1. Get enough Omega-3. Omega-3 fatty acids can help to heal your dry, rough skin, patches of psoriasis and other skin problems. They also help your skin at the cellular level by protecting collagen, plus keep skin lubricated and hydrated. If you aren’t getting enough Omega-3 in your diet through oily fish and other foods, add a supplement of  fish oil capsules (~ 1,200 mg) into your daily routine.

2. Pay attention to your neck. Avoid turkey neck, which is caused by a breakdown in collagen, by using firming products that tighten saggy skin. Look for skin products containing retinol and peptides.

3. Rid yourself of spider veins. Spider veins on your legs, arms and other parts are a sure way to show aging. Consider a sclerotherapy procedure at your dermatologist’s office that collapses these tiny veins with a very fine needle. It will take a couple months of treatment, but reportedly 80% of spider veins can be cleared.

4. Cover eye circles - Don’t just slap on extra foundation under your eyes and think you have your circles covered. Instead, use a yellow-based concealer that is lighter than your foundation. Apply with a concealer brush as lashline as possible and blend downward, as well as on the side of your nose. Perk up droopy eyes by curling your lashes every day and using a plumping mascara.

5. Skip the powder. As you age, skin gets less oily, so you don’t need as much face powder as you did in your 20s and 30s. If you notice that powder is causing your fine lines and wrinkles to be more pronounced, switch to a cream-to-powder or liquid foundation and forgo the powder altogether.
