Dark spots, age spots, liver spots -- call them whatever, hyper-pigmentation is a skincare problem that can affect people of all ages. Skincare-News.com's latest article, "The Lighter Approach," offers solutions top make hyperpigmentationa thing of the past instead of a problem of the future. http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=536

Introducing the age spot
While age spots tend to be a skin condition for adults over the age of 40, the truth is that these spots can appear on younger skin, as well. Why do they appear? Age spots result from long-term sun exposure, such as sun bathing or for the hands, driving. To protect itself from sun exposure, the skin reacts by generating cells called melanocytes. Melanocytes produce melanin, the same pigment that suntans skin. Sometimes, though, melanocytes don't emerge evenly and irregular coloring takes place, typically on the face, chest, back and hands. Once these spots have emerged, protection and prevention are the best treatment against further darkening or the appearance of new age spots.

Peruse the products
Before applying any lightening products to the skin, carefully evaluate the options. Over the counter treatments include chemical or botanically based lighteners, as well as more intense doctor administered treatments. In the United States, chemical lighteners are typically made with a 2% solution of hydroquinone, a chemical that works by inhibiting the enzyme that makes melanin. Hydroquinone is FDA-approved and considered by many dermatologists to be a safer, less expensive alternative to lasers or peeling treatments which must be administered in a doctor's office. Side effects of improper hydroquinone use include: burning, itching, crusting or swelling, and unusual skin discoloration. Additionally, National Toxicology Program (NTP) toxicology and carcinogenesis studies suggest that hydroquinone leads to carcinogenicity in animals, so there's a chance that it poses a carcinogenic risk to humans, as well.

For people who do opt for a lightener with hydroquinone, the best bet is a lightweight, highly absorbable product. While using these products, avoid using other medicated topical products, particularly those that contain peroxide. There are also several options to hydroquinone. Many plant based skin lighteners are available such as kojic acid, bilberry extract, mulberry extract and licorice to name a few. Of these, one of the most popular is kojic acid, which is derived from the fungus Aspergillus oryzae. Like hydroquinone, kojic acid also inhibits the production of melanin in the skin, causing the dark spots to fade. And also like hydroquinone, kojic acid can be relatively unstable in skincare formulations, oxidizing (or darkening) with exposure to the air or sunlight so store products containing kojic acid away from direct sunlight such as a medicine chest or closet.

Once an appropriate lightener is chosen, here are a few helpful tips to follow for proper application. Only apply skin-lightening products to dark spots, being careful to avoid the surrounding skin. Use a Q-Tip to apply a small amount only to the dark spot, allowing it to dry completely before proceeding to moisturizer or foundation. Finally, follow directions carefully on how often to apply; usually twice a day is adequate. For larger spots, such as on hands or legs, gently massage the product into the skin to ensure even delivery.

Also, know when to stop. Once the desired level of fading is achieved, some people choose to stop using the lightening product, or reduce the frequency of use. However, sunscreen should still be used on a daily basis to maintain results, or hyperpigmentation will likely return. Finally, keep in mind that lightening takes time; weeks or even months depending on skin type and the intensity of the spots.

Used to treat Alzheimer's disease, depression and stroke, idebenone only recently entered the skin care market with a big, exciting bang; dermatologists and patients alike anticipated its arrival. Idebenol, a similar ingredient, has also enjoyed surging popularity. Skincare-News.com's latest article, "Idebenol and Idebenone," discusses the research behind both idebenol and idebenone and how they are effective anti-aging ingredients.
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=563

For one, idebenol and idebenone guard skin against free radical damage, says dermatologist Audrey Kunin, M.D. It's free radicals, or environmental factors, including chemicals, pollutants and cigarette smoke, that damage skin and cause signs of aging, such as Idebenol. UV rays also produce free radicals, harming cell proteins and lipids, causing cell damage and death, Dr. Daniel B. Mowrey tells SkinStore. One study found that idebenol protects cells from UV damage and death, whereas untreated cells had a much higher death rate, adds Dr. Mowrey.

Research also suggests idebenol boosts skin renewal, a process where skin cells go through stages of growing, flaking away and being replaced by new cells, clarifies Dr. Mowrey. In younger people, the renewal rate is faster than older people. Dr. Mowrey cites a study where renewal rates were measured for a mature group -- averaging 67 years old -- and a young group -- averaging 29 years old. The mature group applied idebenol, whereas the young group received no treatment. The mature group's average renewal rate dropped from 24.1 days -- their rate before treatment -- to 18.6 days. The young group's renewal rate was 16.6 days on average. So, this study suggests that idebenol speeds up cell renewal, producing smooth, new skin to replace rough, older skin.

Idebenone: Described as a "high-octane antioxidant" by Linda Dyett in an article for Prevention magazine, idebenone is viewed as a super-antioxidant. A variant of Coenzyme Q10, idebenone might actually be more powerful than its chemical cousin. For instance, Coenzyme Q10 is open to oxidization, which actually creates harmful free radicals. Idebenone doesn't do this, giving it an advantage. Smart SkinCare's Dr. Todorov -- biologist and cell researcher -- also notes that idebenone might fight off free radicals better than Coenzyme Q10. However, he adds that studies directly comparing Coenzyme Q10 and idebenone as skin treatments are needed. According to Dr. Kunin, specific tests that measure an antioxidant's efficiency have suggested idebenone's superiority over other antioxidants, including Coenzyme Q10, vitamin E and C and kinetin.

Currently, both idebenol and idebenone are included separately in various anti-aging creams. You might want to talk with your dermatologist about the best formula for a particular skin type's needs.

Hives
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=559
Hives is a skin condition, often brought on by an allergic reaction, that can manifest in several ways. Sometimes called Urticaria, this skin condition is characterized by the spontaneous development of small, localized reddish or itchy marks, called whelps or wheals, to a full-blown rash that covers the entire body. The marks may appear anywhere on the body, including, including hands, feet and even the tongue and typically, hives last on the skin for as little as a few hours, or up to several days, depending upon the severity of the reaction. If the allergic reaction is particularly aggressive, some cases of urticaria may persist intermittently for several months, and these types of hives are called chronic urticaria.

Vitamin A: Retinoids
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=552
Derivatives of vitamin A, retinoids are found in a bevy of products and treat many skincare concerns and conditions. Specifically, as an effective acne treatment, retinoids slow the growth of cells inside the hair follicles, preventing these cells from clogging pores, which can contribute to acne. Retinoids also boast anti-inflammatory effects. Plus, topical retinoid treatments have many anti-aging benefits.

In the 'Tween of Things
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=523
While acne or dry, flaky skin may not seem like anything that should worry a 10-year old, these skin conditions are quickly becoming the domain of young children. Because young teenagers are still facing some of their most formative growing years, approaching skincare for this age group must be thoughtful and carefully selected. Before skin problems such as acne or dryness have a chance to impact on a young child's skin, take control of them with smart, caring skincare geared towards young skin.

Maintaining a proper beauty regimen is crucial for healthy skin, so don't rely on a haphazard system for choosing skincare products. Skincare-News.com's latest article, "Make Skin Typing Work for You" helps readers understand how skin typing works in order to properly choose products and care for their skin.
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=526

Skin can be classified into seven general types - combination/normal, dry, sensitive, oily, mature, couperose and acneic. A simple test at home can be used to determine skin type. After washing and drying skin, press a few pieces of thin rice paper or lens-cleaning tissue paper against different parts of the face. If the paper sticks and collects oil spots, the skin is considered oily. If the paper doesn't stick, the skin is dry. If it sticks onto the forehead, nose or chin, this is considered combination skin.

Combination/Normal: Neither excessively dry nor greasy, combination/normal skin is typically clear with medium pores. The skin may tend toward dryness on the cheeks and oiliness in the T-zone, though overall the texture is idea - smooth and even. In order to preserve the skin's health, upkeep is necessary. To maintain surface moisture, use a mild, oil-based moisturizer beneath makeup during the day and make sure to moisturize each night. Opt for a mild, emollient cleanser that effectively removes makeup but also soothes and conditions skin.

Dry: Dry skin is characterized by fine wrinkles, flakiness, red patches, dullness and a papery texture. To quench the skin's thirst, its important to use creamy cleansers and thick moisturizers to boost moisture content. Cleanse the face with alcohol-free cleansers, toners or milks, which will remove makeup and impurities while infusing moisture into dry skin. Because dry skin is easily irritated, reduce time in the shower, and don't rub the face while drying. Instead, pat gently with a towel to avoid chafing.

Sensitive: People with skin that is prone to irritation and broken capillaries, itching, flakiness and blemishes require particular care. Those with sensitive skin are unable to use certain cosmetics and shouldn't apply chemical-based products. Instead, go for hypoallergenic skincare lines free of alcohol, emulsifiers and fragrances. As with all skin types, cleansing is an important part of your routine, but finding a suitable, gentle product can be difficult, so read the labels carefully and watch for reactions that could occur within the first few days of using a new product.

Oily: Signs of oily skin include enlarged pores, blackheads and blemishes, an oily T-zone, makeup that wears off within a few hours. While it may be tempting to over-wash the face, dermatologists say that's a big mistake. As with any skin type, over-washing can strip the skin of its natural oils, so wash no more than twice a day with a cleanser designed to eliminate excess oils and lipids that block pores and create aggravating blemishes. Another mistake many make is thinking a moisturizer will only add to their oily skin worries. Its important to use a light, oil-free moisturizer to leave skin feeling hydrated without greasy residue.

Mature: With age, skin loses elasticity and firmness, appears looser and thinner and acquires a dry, wrinkled texture. But it's never too early to begin an anti-aging skincare routine with a refreshing cleanser, night reform treatment and perfecting night cream to cleanse, moisturize, repair and hydrate mature skin. Take special care of the delicate eye area with a cream that reduces the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles.

Couperose: Couperose skin is distinguished by chronic redness and caused by weak, dilated capillary vessels. Spicy foods, alcohol, cigarettes, sunlight and anything that causes blood to rush to the face are all factors that contribute to couperose skin. People with this type of skin should avoid washing the face with extreme hot or cold water and choose products designed to strengthen capillary walls. Shun harsh exfoliants, products with hydroquinone and topical acne treatments with benzyl peroxide. Instead, use soothing creams to diffuse blotchiness and calm redness.

Acneic: Perhaps the most frustrating of all skin types, acenic skin (or acne-prone skin) suffers from an oily surface, obstructed pores, blackheads and unsightly pimples that can later result in scars. People with acne often mistakenly use harsh chemical cleansers, which result in dehydration and even more acne. The secrets to clear skin include normalizing or balancing products. Acne sufferers should use a topical exfoliant with benzoyl peroxide after cleansing, and then apply a mild toner to purify pores.

For anybody concerned about Botox safety, there are other options to provide people with effective anti-aging results. Skincare-News.com's latest article, details the latest treatments.
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=518

1. So how do fine lines and wrinkles actually appear? Who or what is really to blame?

Facial Expressions: People use facial muscles every time they smile, laugh, frown or squint. So, naturally over the years, lines and wrinkles develop.Environmental enemies: Pollution, chemicals, automotive exhaust, wind and UVA/UVB sun rays attack skin. These environmental factors cause skin to break down, resulting in wrinkles. Collagen is vital in structuring our skin, keeping it soft, smooth and plump. We have lots of collagen when we're young, but with age, collagen decreases and wrinkles form. Moisture loss: When skin loses moisture, it becomes drier, contributing to wrinkles. Toxins in smoke are extremely harmful to the skin. Smoke also causes eye irritation, making people squint and leading to wrinkles.

2. Taking preventative measures

A crucial anti-aging step for preventing lines and wrinkles is protecting the skin from sun damage. Choose a broad spectrum product with a high SPF and apply it every day! Defend the skin from wrinkle-causing harsh pollution and environmental damage alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). Encouraging new healthy cells to replace old dead cells, AHAs exfoliate dull or dry skin for a smoother look. Similarly, ceramides shield skin from pollution, smoke and other environmental threats to prevent wrinkles. Try an eye cream that contains ceramides to protect delicate facial skin.

3. Treating lines and wrinkles: Dermatologists say that these ingredients are especially beneficial for an effective anti-aging arsenal.

Peptides are proteins that help produce new collagen and fill out wrinkles. Unlike Botox, peptides work on fine lines and deep creases. Peptides may also relax facial muscles and nerves to reduce new wrinkles. Retinol -- a type of vitamin A -- encourages new healthy cells to replace damaged cells and forms new collagen to fill wrinkles. Antioxidants like vitamin C and grape-seed extract defend skin from free radical damage.

4. Dermatologist's in-office procedures also provide effective alternatives:

*Microdermabrasion uses special crystal particles that remove the outer layer of dead skin and minimize fine wrinkles. According to Dr. Brian Zelickson of the University of Minnesota Medical School, Department of Dermatology, microdermabrasion also helps with skin cell renewal and new collagen formation. However, like Botox, this option won't work well on deeper wrinkles.

Chemical peels treat wrinkles and fine lines. Different types of chemicals may be used, like glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid or lactic acid, depending on the desired "depth" of the peel. The chemicals produce a reaction that will make skin turn red, blister and peel away, revealing newer, smoother skin with fewer wrinkles. Possible risks may include scarring, changes in skin pigment or cold sores. Fillers involve injections of substances like Hyaluronic acid or collagen. They plump skin and add moisture. Results from fillers, which are effective in filling in deep creases, may last longer than Botox. But, like Botox, needles are involved.

The beginning of a new year signals the beginning of new things and the dreaded resolution. Skincare-News.com's latest article, "Top 10 Resolutions for Great Skin in 2008," makes taking care of the skin a realistic goal with a list of 10 simple things anybody can do for their skin. http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=507

1. Throw away old makeup. Take some time to go through all cosmetics and skin care products. Recall when the item was purchased, or look for an expiration date. If there is no date, try out telltale signs that makeup has expired. Eye shadow that has oil build-up or is dusty needs to be tossed out. Pressed powders and bronzers are sanctuaries for oil, bacteria and dirt. If mascara feels clumpy and dry, throw it out. Mascara is best when used in three months. A quick smell test does the trick for lipstick: If it smells funny, toss it.

2. Set a skin care budget. Take note of how often a new cleanser is needed, when toner runs out and when a moisturizer needs to be updated or changed. If there is a special occasion such as a wedding or party coming up, be sure to prepare. It may be time to save up for a few new products or a spa treatment.

3. Give skin some TLC more often. Spend more time on the skin to cleanse, refresh and maintain. Take time to examine troubled areas (such as the face or the feet) and establish a skin care routine. Cleansing and moisturizing in the morning and night are imperative. Along with an organized routine, give a skincare regimen versatility with a monthly pedicure or facial.

4. Welcome the New Year with a deep cleansing at a local day spa.

5. Give skin a boost with new products. Try a new brand of cleanser, toner or moisturizer. If skin looks sallow and dull, its time for a boost. Add a facial "fluid" to the routine, a product that's more concentrated and not as heavy as lotions and moisturizers. It's never too early to start using eye creams and gels.

6. Try the latest spa treatments. As an esthetician for details on new treatments, what products are used and what they will do for the skin.

7. Put down the martini and the cigarettes! This is probably the most important resolution to make. Excessive drinking and smoking leads to pre-mature aging. Free radicals and toxins released into the body break down essential vitamins and collagen that is produced naturally, thus leading to wrinkling of the skin.

8. Use a sunless tanning lotion, tinted moisturizer or bronzer all year round.

9. Get moving! Regular exercise can contribute to a radiant complexion. Working out can have dramatic results on your skin by reducing acne breakouts, getting rid of toxins, facilitating collagen production and nutrient delivery and increasing circulation, reports WebMD

10. Reward yourself for sticking to your resolutions! Good options are a stone massage or a spa pedicure, a new eye shadow, a trip to the movies or a morning to sleep in.

http://www.skincare-news.com/a-6520-Boscia_Review_Botanical_Skincare.aspx

Boscia history and philosophy

Manufactured by the Fancl Corporation, Boscia was started by Kenji Ikemori from Yokahama, Japan. His goal was to create a skincare line with natural ingredients, free of potentially-irritating preservatives and chemicals.

Mr. Ikemori's wife had suffered from blotchy, red skin and rashes, caused by preservatives and chemicals found in some cosmetics and skincare products. He was determined to exclude these ingredients from his new line. Working with a chemist to formulate his natural creations, Mr. Ikemori sold his first batch of products from his one-man shop in the late 1970s. Today, Boscia continues to be committed to superior standards.

Botanical ingredients

Boscia products feature unique antioxidants that offer specialized skin benefits. Jojoba leaf guards against free radical damage from sun, smoke, pollution and chemicals. Willow herb soothes skin, keeping sensitivity and irritation at bay. Hydrangea leaf and soapberry peel deep clean pores and minimize oil.

Boscia believes in building beauty from the inside out, improving both a person's health and his or her skin. For this reason, Boscia also offers a line of oral supplements for all-around benefits.

Cleansers

Boscia cleansers and washes contain the best botanicals to cleanse and refresh the skin. Boscia Makeup Break Up Cool Cleansing Oil features a refreshing blend of peppermint, eucalyptus and natural oils to remove makeup and impurities. It deep cleans without irritating skin or leaving behind any film. For the body, Boscia Jujube Rejuvenist Amino Body Wash contains amino acids and antioxidants to help renew the skin and defend it against damage.

Moisturizers

Boscia features a collection of multi-tasking lotions and creams that hydrate the skin, protect it from daily damage and improve fine lines and wrinkles.

Treatments

Boscia's treatment products address a variety of common concerns, including acne, damaged skin and aging around the eye area.

The collection has extraordinary and proven standout results compared to others. These benefits include HIGH bio-availability, allowing the body to absorb nutrients immediately, as well as superior quality and purity control.

The Beauty Boot Camp Vitamin Collection are so pure that they are FDA approved in the Unites States, Canada and Australia.

Her Beauty Boot Camp supplement collection is made up of the purest and safest ingredients that have proven benefits.

Mira ReGenalift® : Restore beauty in an afternoon
Your face is restored to a younger look by sculpting and adding volume to give you lift, dimension and super-charging your own body’s ability to regenerate new cells resulting in a younger look.

We start by liposculpting the neck and jaw line area, which makes your skin retract to its original youthful appearance. Dr. Mirrafati’s signature fat processing technique uses a protein blend to separate out the highest quality level of fat, which is rich in stem cells. These super-charged cells are then artistically injected in very small quantities strategically throughout the facial tissue layers above and below the muscle and in your cheek pads to facilitate regeneration and add desired volume and dimension. Next, the CO2 Fraction Laser allows for the removal of fine lines on the skin, then, as needed, the doctor can apply the popular Botox, Juvederm or Restylane to further remove wrinkles and deep lines to complete the look. The whole procedure is easily done in a few hours in an afternoon under a local anesthetic.
