We all know how difficult it is to read an ingredient label. And many of us just assume that the lotions and creams we use aren’t going to harm us. But, that may not always be the case.

(InStyle)—Skin 101: How to treat and protect against sun damage.

The risk of rays

“Sunlight contains ultraviolet (UV) rays that heat up your skin, cooking the collagen and elastin,” explains Beverly Hills dermatologist Harold Lancer.
UVB rays (think B for burn) are short in length and hit the skin’s surface, resulting in redness and burning. Contrary to popular belief, sunburns alone aren’t the cause of skin damage; they’re an immediate indication that you’re hurting yourself—and a warning to get out of the sun.
UVA rays (think A for aging) are long and penetrate deep into the skin, damaging cells and producing wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dryness and other signs of aging.

3 Proven Skin Care Ingredients

Just because it’s pricey and comes in a pretty jar, it doesn’t necessarily mean a product has more effective skin care ingredients.

Often, “lower-priced products may work better than their more expensive counterparts,” says Arthur W. Perry, MD, author of the book Straight Talk About Cosmetic Surgery. Whether it’s $9 or $99, here are three key ingredients to consider…

3 Proven Ingredients
According to Dr. Perry, vitamin C (also known as L-ascorbic acid), alpha-hydroxy acids (also known as AHAs, fruit acids, and glycolic acid), and retinoids or retinol-like compounds (tretinoin, retinol, etc.) are a few of the handful of skin product ingredients backed by strong scientific evidence that they boost skin health and appearance.

Hyaluronic Acid Benefits

Hyaluronic acid is a part of the glycoconjugates and it is also added pure and concentrated to the formulation of the skin care products. It is a glycosaminoglycan found in the intracellular matrix of skin (between skin cells) where it has a protective, structure regulating and shock-absorbing role.

Vitamin C can keep you healthy, looking younger

04/2008

Remember when vitamin C was hailed as the best, and maybe only, cold remedy? Then it became the Rodney Dangerfield of vitamins: It didn’t get any respect.

Citrus and other sources of Vitamin C can help fend off cancer, strokes and Alzheimer’s disease.

The nutrient’s glory days of curing scurvy-riddled sailors via juicy citrus fruit seemed to be the only thing keeping its reputation afloat, particularly after a massive research review found C to be virtually useless for fighting colds. But don’t believe it.

The truth is that scientists have taken a fresh look at C—and have found lots of new ways it can help you stay healthy and look and feel younger. Here’s the latest on what C can really do for you.

Proactive skincare doesn’t just happen.

Through the ages, remarkably beautiful and ageless women have adopted and followed good skincare practices that enhance their natural beauty and protect their skin from the relentless effects of the elements and other antioxidants that surround us daily.

These exceptional beauties have always known that natural products, made of pure organic ingredients are their preference.

Now, we’d like to pass some of their accumulated knowledge on to you so that you, too, can experience a youthful, healthy complexion your whole life long.
