Top Anti Aging Treatment Myths

Wed, 16 May 2012 18:04:00 GMT

If you have started considering anti aging treatment options, then you may be wondering whether all of those products really do what they say they will do. Magazines and television channels are full of adverts that promise younger looking skin in the shortest possible time frame. Beautiful models with perfect skin make you long to regain that youthful glow, and before you know it, you are at your local beauty store trying yet another product.

Be honest for a moment – how many of those products have actually worked? And if they did work, was your skin really rejuvenated or did the results fade as soon as you stopped using it?

Uncovering the Truth About Anti Aging Treatment

What the adverts don’t tell you about anti aging treatment is that a huge majority of these products do not actually give you the results you want. In some cases, they may work at first, but the moment you stop the product, your skin returns to the state it was in when you started. There’s a good reason for this – these products are only able to target the top layer of your skin, and do not reach the most important layers that can truly target the signs of aging.

This is the first and biggest myth when it comes to anti aging treatment options. The truth is that external products do not have the same results as products that work from the inside, such as stem cell extracts.

Other common myths include the following:

Collagen injections are the quickest and best way to plump out lines and wrinkles

Not only can too many of these injections actually harm your skin, but the process of injecting these ingredients into your skin is expensive and not always reliable. Marine proteins however are rich in nutrients that promote firmer skin, and you do not have to inject them to get the results.

If you keep using age retardation products, you will notice the difference

This is partly true, but in reality you will also notice the difference if you stop using the products – and not the difference you want to see either. This type of anti aging treatment targets the external layers of your skin, and is only able to absorb partly. Regular use reduces some of the finer lines, but when you do not use the product, those lines return.

The more expensive the product, the better the results

As one of the biggest myths of all, this is also entirely untrue. You could spend thousands on external products claiming to have the best possible results, and still not revive your skin to its former condition. Even worse, you are also throwing money away by using these products every day.

The most effective way to beat those signs of aging is through a tried and tested supplement that targets the stem cells in the deeper layers of your skin. Harsh chemicals will damage your skin over time, which causes even more signs of aging. Nutrient-rich treatments however promote healthy skin that is able to regenerate, making this the best anti aging treatment for lasting results… whatever your age, gender or skin colour.

How Nutritional Skin Treatment Works

Thu, 10 May 2012 08:30:00 GMT

Have you ever wondered what nutritional skin treatment really means? For those in search of healthy, glowing skin, external products are often the first course of action. You may use expensive creams, lotions, masks or even cosmetic options such as chemical peels to give your skin a boost, but these products seldom give you the results you really want. The main reason for this is that external skin treatments are not able to reach the most important part of your skin – the stem cells that lie deep within the basal layer.

Products that provide nutrients from within work differently. Instead of treating the top, superficial layers of your skin, these treatments work from within. The secret however lies in the active ingredients found within nutritional skin treatments.

The Skin-Boosting Ingredients in Nutritional Skin Treatments

Just like the rest of your body needs nutrients to thrive, your skin also needs nourishment. As the largest organ in your body, your skin is exposed to a number of potentially damaging elements each and every day. From the hot sun to every day wear and tear or even hard chemicals found in the products you use, this damage is what causes the skin to show the signs of aging.

A good nutritional skin treatment helps to combat this damage through active ingredients known for their skin-boosting properties. The most powerful of these plant-based ingredients include the following:

Apple Extract – that old saying about an apple a day keeping the doctor away will also keep the aging sings away too. Apple extract stem cells promote healthy skin growth, regenerate skin stem cells and also protect your skin against UV damage.
Marine Algae – rich marine proteins such as algae also have powerful properties, with collagen protein and elastin peptides found in almost the same amounts found naturally in human skin. These proteins promote improved skin appearance, reducing fine lines and plumping out the skin.
Blackcurrant Extracts – the vitamin-rich blackcurrant is loaded with nutrients that help your skin glow with health. Anti-inflammatory benefits are also found in this fruit, along with improved skin tone and even increased risk against colds and heart disease.

How Do You Use Nutritional Skin Treatments?

As these ingredients work to promote overall health of the skin, the most effective way to use nutritional skin treatments is through drinks or products that are ingested. You can get all of the vital ingredients your skin needs to regenerate and glow with the tried-and-tested MIREICA nutri-peau supplement. Formulated by LiveLife Biosciences AG in Switzerland, this easy to use product takes the form of a delicious drink that is loaded with all the powerful ingredients found in nature. Apple, blackcurrant and marine protein are just three of the active ingredients in this supplement, each providing a number of skin renewal properties.

Whether you are still young and want to ensure that your skin stays healthy, or even already seeing the signs of skin damage or aging, it is never too late for beautiful skin. As a cost-effective, proven alternative to all those expensive creams and painful peels, a nutritional skin treatment gives you everything you need in one powerful product.

What is Natural Beauty?

Thu, 03 May 2012 09:17:00 GMT

Natural beauty is something that all of us have, but so few of us truly appreciate. Every day, we bombard our delicate skin with scrubs, harsh toners and other creams, before beginning the makeup ritual. When we go out, even more products are added – foundation to iron out those flaws, glittering eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara. At the end of the evening or day, we come home and remove all of these products – often with toner or other skin-drying lotions. The next day, the routine begins all over again.

While every woman wants to have perfect skin that makes them glow, most head to their cosmetic bags to fix up those little flaws. Or they rely on traditional products that are used on the outer layer of the skin… the same layer that covers only a small section of the skin’s many levels. Ironically, that same quest for beautiful skin is the least likely way to achieve natural beauty – especially with the chemicals that are used in every one of those products that you apply to your delicate facial skin.

Natural Beauty Starts from the Inside

As young girls, mothers try and teach their daughters about looking after their skin. By the age of 20, we all know that drinking water, eating properly and staying out of the sun are all good for our skin. What mother’s didn’t know then is that there are other ways to achieve natural beauty. These include the following:

Genetics play a small role – you may have been blessed with good skin from a child, but over time this will change unless you begin a good skin routine. Those without those genes should also know that you can have the skin you want if you use the right treatments – even if you have had bad skin all of your life.
Aging is not the end of the world – what is more important than flawless skin is healthy skin. If your skin is firm and healthy, the aging process is not as damaging as it is if your skin is dry and already damaged from sun, bad eating and excessive chemical exposure through lotions, potions and quick-fix treatments. Natural beauty is also about accepting our age with grace, and using plant extracts to deal with the effects of aging, rather than resorting to cover-ups and surgery.
External treatments cannot change your skin – the skin is made of numerous levels. The cells that are most critical for healthy skin are deep within the final layers, which means that external products are not able to affect these cells. Just like drinking eight glasses of water a day helps your skin glow, internal products such as MIREICA work from the inside, replacing your current skin stem cells with natural extracts to boost skin tone and elasticity.

Every time that you subject your skin to a myriad different products; it takes the punishment. Chemical products increase skin damage and actually aid the aging process. For healthy skin that is just as firm as it was in your youth, treatments that enhance natural beauty are the best way to get glowing skin… regardless of your age.

What Age Should You Consider Skin Treatment?

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:06:00 GMT

As a small child, you may have watched your mother use a range of skin treatment products, longing for the day when you were old enough to venture into the magical world of beautification. By the time your teens arrived, you might have started using basic cleansing, toning and moisturising products, but that routine might often have seemed to be a chore that required reminding and lectures. If you stuck to your routine, you will have saved yourself a lot of hard work and cost in the long run. If you assumed that a quick wash and dab of face cream was enough to ensure healthy skin, you will sadly only see the results from a poor routine much later on in life.

What age is the best time to start considering skin treatment options, and what can you do to reverse damage that has already been done?

Prevention is Better than Cure When it Comes to Skin Treatment

Much like any other health regime, starting a skin treatment routine early is far better than waiting until you in your Thirties. Skin cells are at their optimal when we are infants and small children, but over the years, environment stress, pollution, sun damage, smoking, diet, harsh chemicals and the natural aging process causes these cells to change. Skin stem cells in the basal layer of the epidermis are especially effected by this damage, and if these cells cannot be repaired, the overall outer layer of the skin begins to show those tell-tale signs – dark spots, dryness, loss of tone, loss of elasticity and those dreaded fine lines and wrinkles.

The good news is that it is never too late to save your skin. Modern science has found many innovative ways to revive skin cells, even for skin that has gone through years of stress. Ideally, you should be using basic skin treatment solutions such as good moisturiser, sunscreen and cleansing products. Drinking water and eating right will also help. But as external products cannot reach the core skin cells that affect the health of your skin, you should also be considering supplements that work from within. Using special ingredients such as apple extract stem cells, this unique type of skin treatment is designed to be used at any age, whether you are male or female.

The Science Behind Stem Cell Products

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 08:36:00 GMT

One of the latest innovations in the skincare industry is the use of stem cell products to rejuvenate and heal the skin. Unlike human stem cell treatments that use controversial extractions, science has made it possible to extract naturally occurring botanical stem cells from a rare type of apple called the Uttwiler Spätlauber. This Swiss apple was too bitter to be eaten, but and was not a fruit associated with healing powers until recent years. In the case of age prevention and skin longevity, this fruit holds the key to a very powerful formula.

What exactly are skin stem cells however, and how do stem cell products work?

Understanding Skin Stem Cell Products

Within each of the skin’s three layers, cells are found that contribute the overall look and appearance of your skin. Within the epidermis layer, there is another layer called the basal layer – this is where epidermal skin cells are found. These cells regenerate each layer of the epidermis, lying dormant until activated by tissue damage, environmental damage, natural aging or disease. As stem cells naturally break down over years, a product was needed to reverse this damage.

Many different stem cell products have been tried over the years, but none were able to deliver lasting results. Researchers at Mibelle Biochemistry then made a startling discovery – the rare old Uttwiler Spätlauber apples that no-one wanted to eat had a number of qualities that made them very valuable in skin cell rejuvenation.

Studies showed that apple stem cells have a number of epigenetic factors and metabolites that enhance the longevity of human skin cells. Using apple extract stem cells allowed human stem cells to be revived, boosting proteins, carbohydrates and lipids that repair fine lines, and restore the skin’s natural firmness and elasticity.

Another ground-breaking result showed that botanical stem cells also increased antioxidants that protect human skin stem cells against sun damage and other environmental stress, while balancing free radicals and reversing the aging effects.

Through products such as MIREICA skin supplements that are rich in natural apple extract and other key ingredients, your skin will heal itself from within, delaying the aging process and ensuring healthy skin through botanically extracted stem cell products.

Skin Supplements vs Skin Creams

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:22:00 GMT

Are skin creams enough to ensure skin that is healthy from the inside out, or do you need skin supplements that give your skin all that it needs to glow?

Women and young girls are taught from an early age to look after their skins, and even men are starting to consider treatments to ensure that their skin looks and feels great. From facial scrubs that remove dead cells, to often-harsh toners, moisturisers, day creams, night creams, skin firming creams and even collagen enhanced creams, a typical skin routine seems to cover all of your bases.

Do these external products actually work however, and what alternatives do you have to ensure beautiful skin that is not only healthy, but also younger-looking?

Why External Skin Treatments Often have Limited Results

The top layer of skin that external skin treatments target is the epidermis. This layer makes up just 10% of your skin’s total thickness. Even if your top layer is firm and smooth, your overall skin condition depends on the layers underneath the epidermis, which are the dermis and subcutis layers. Traditional creams, lotions and moisturising products often have a minimal effect. They may show some results, but as they are not able to penetrate down to the final two layers, these results do not last.

Many products used on the delicate skin on your face also has chemicals and harsh ingredients that can even increase the risk of aging or skin damage. Along with sun damage, natural aging and other elements, this means that external products cannot always give your skin the best protection.

Skin Supplements – Fact or Fiction?

Over time, skin experts have realised that preserving the health, elasticity, tone and overall appearance of skin cannot be done through external products alone. Skin supplements work from the inside, targeting all three layers of skin – in particular the subcutis layer that determines the skin’s overall health. These supplements contain all the nutrients that your skin needs, and can be used by women, men and even children for long-term results. As part of your usual skincare regime, skin boosting supplements help to enhance your skin’s natural beauty. Discolouration is reduced, the epidermis is firmed, and skin is hydrated for a glowing, youthful appearance.

The Mireica Nutri Peau system of supplements has had excellent results for many people, even in the case of skin damage caused by sun, smoking, weather and natural aging. Using core ingredients, and taken as a drink, this skin supplement system brings faster results than capsules to help you protect your skin from within.

5 Ways to Improve Skin Health

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:21:00 GMT

Skin health is something we all aspire to achieve. Some women (and even men) seem to have been blessed with good skin, with not a wrinkle, age mark or blemish to be seen. While genetics plays some role in our skin to a certain extent, it is the environment and steps we take to protect our skin that matters the most. If you look after your skin, you will most likely see the results.

The fashion models we see in magazines may seem to have perfect skin, but it is the naturally beautiful women who really have the best skin. Models wear a great deal of makeup to cover up flaws, and even after the shoot, image editing adds even more glow and vitality to their skin. It’s only when a picture of the model is released in the media that we see what her ‘normal’ skin looks like.

What exactly defines skin health, and how can you ensure that your skin looks and feels amazing?

5 Simple Tips for Skin Health

These tips may seem simple, but each offers the best way to get into a healthy regime that takes care of your skin. Top tips for skin health include the following:

Drink plenty of water – as our skin needs water to thrive, you need to drink between 6 and 8 glasses a day to give your skin the hydration it needs to glow. Struggling to drink water on its own? You can add some freshly squeezed lemon juice and mint to make it easier to drink your recommended glasses each day.
Take a skin supplement – supplements such as MIREICA Nutri Peau work from the inside, providing your skin with all the nutrients it needs to thrive. This supplement takes the form of a tasty drink, which can also substitute your daily water allowances.
Eat good, healthy food – that means cutting down on sugar and processed foods, and replacing these with plenty of raw food that is enriched with skin and body friendly vitamins and minerals.
Exercise on a regular basis – exercise can also help to improve your skin’s condition. Getting your pulse up and maintaining a good cardio routine helps to energise your entire body, including your skin.
Avoid skin damage – this includes sun damage, harsh products and chemicals, smoking and other environmental factors that prevent skin health. You may not notice the damage right away, but your skin will notice the difference. Environmental damage from sun also increases your risk of cancer.

A good skin care routine does not have to cost the earth. You do not need expensive creams that promise huge results – you simply need to follow a basic routine that includes a good skin supplement, healthy living and care to ensure effective skin health.

MIREICA Ingredient - ACEROLA - for SKIN Nutrition and Natural Health Benefits!

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 11:09:00 GMT

Mireica nutri-peau uses a sophisticated but comprehensive and natural formulation of ingredients to stimulate the self renewing capacity of skin stem cells. The scientific and medical world has proven through research that these ingredients help to strengthen these cells against DNA damage, UV and oxidative stress. The Acerola fruit and its benefits is one of the keys in the Mireica formulation to promote quality and healthy skin as well as overall general health benefits.

Malpighia Punicifolia (scientific name) or more commonly known as the Barbados Cherry.

Acerola is the highest natural source of Vitamin C. It is a deep-red, cherry/berry sized fruit that originated primarily in and around the West Indies. It is now found abundantly in Brazil.

It has vitamin C content up to 65 times more than an orange. In addition to vitamin C, it is also rich in pro-vitamin A, vitamin B1, B2, B3 and minerals such as iron, phosphorous and calcium. The fruit can be used in desserts and preserves. A single fruit contains the minimum daily recommended vitamin C requirements. As a fruit it resembles the common cherry, with a very tasty sweet flavor having a slight bite of acid.
(See http://www.acerolajuice.com)

Like vitamin E, it is also an antioxidant and is used in biological or biochemical applications to reduce oxidative stress or damage.

Acerola Benefits

Research has proved the Acerola’s role in SKIN nutrition with overall health benefits but most importantly in the following areas support:

ANTIOXIDANT - Acerola's use is mostly associated with its high content of vitamin C and the synergistic bioflavonoids- rutin and hesperidin, providing one of nature's most potent antioxidants and anti-aging defences.
IMMUNE SUPPORT - Acerola is an ideal food based source of nutrients necessary for immune support. Acerola is a rich source of vitamin C, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, and other vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients providing ideal synergy for immune cell function.
NUTRITIVE - Acerola provides twice as much magnesium, pantothenic acid, and potassium compared to oranges. Other vitamins present include vitamin A (4,300 to 12,500 IU/100 g, compared to approximately 11,000 IU for raw carrots), thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin in concentrations comparable to those in other fruits. One hundred and fifty other constituents have been identified in acerola; the major ones being furfural, hexadecanoic acid, and limonene. Acerola cherries are an excellent source of powerful antioxidants and are also rich in protein and mineral salts principally, iron, calcium and phosphorus.
SKIN TONIC - Recent research in cosmetology indicates that vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger for skin health as well, and Acerola extracts are now appearing in skin care products, like Mireica, that fight cellular aging. In addition to its vitamin content, Acerola contains mineral salts that have shown to aid in the re-mineralisation of tired and stressed skin, while the mucilage and proteins have skin hydrating properties and promote capillary conditioning.
