Before you read on…I want to encourage you to please scroll down and read the last few paragraphs. You will find an amazing surprize! If you don’t, then you will be missing out big time.

Women in general are all afraid of becoming old. After a certain age of waking up every morning and taking a look in the mirror, some women start to realise that those lines on their face are not the ones they see when they frown.

This is obviously a terrible feeling, because women do not want to admit that they are starting to get old. Men on the other hand do not care that much about wrinkles and fine lines like women do.

They immediatly start looking for a solution and do not always think things through. I am talking about solutions like facial injections, chemical peels, etc. I am sure that a woman is reading this article now and I am sure you know what I am talking about when it comes to making a wrong decision about wrinkle treatments. You buy a expensive wrinkle cream or go for some sort of injection and you realise that your wrinkles come back after a while.

Ladies…you have to realise something, wrinkles are inevitable. They WILL be there at some point in time in your life. There is nothing you can do to completely stop them.

When you get old your skin’s elasticity will become much less firmer then how it was during your teenage years. And to make it worse, today’s wrinkle cream products attempt to sell themselves as "wrinkle vanishers". No wrinkle cream can permanently remove wrinkles. As I said earlier, wrinkles will come, but it’s up to you how long they stay there.

For the last 2 months I have been trying to find the best solution for women with wrinkle problems. It was a big struggle, that much I can tell you. There are a lot of wrinkle cream products on the market that sell like crazy and most of them are extremely expensive. The question is…which one of those products work? Well, most of them work. They really do work, but choosing the right one to suite your pocket is difficult. Remember, once you start using a wrinkle cream and you see results, you have to keep using it to keep the wrinkles at bay. Once you stop, they will come back. This can eat your money like a pacman.

Try to find a wrinkle cream that delivers moderate success. It should also suite your pocket. When you realise that it does deliver some wrinkle reduction, you can always buy a stronger wrinkle cream product and could save money, because you didn’t spend all that money in the beginning. Or you could keep using it and wait until a new product hits the market, call up the manufacturer and ask them if it is possible if they can send you a sample of the product. In most cases the manufacturers will send you much more than you need, because they produce in mass and won’t go through the hassle of only shipping one bottle of the product.

So I ask you nicely…

Please be safe when it comes to the extreme measures of wrinkle treatments(those I mentioned above).

My name is Reinhardt Gallowitz and I am the author of this article.

As I said above, for the last 2 months I have been trying to find the best solution for wrinkles. When I say "best" I mean I have found a wrinkle cream that works and the best of all, it’s free! I have found a wrinkle cream that scientist think is amazing!

This product is free and if you are a United States resident you can get a FREE supply of this product!

For more information on how to get this free wrinkle product, please go to http://www.webmania.co.za/webmania/anti

I am sure that you will be very satisfied with this product. A lot of women have testified that this product is like a miracle. There is no risk for you if you try it. At least you can see if it works and if it does, which I am sure will, you can buy a whole range of products from this manufacturer. Trust me, the other products are not expensive. These are top quality products that some of the most famous wrinkle-free people in the world use. So…

Have a nice day

Finding beauty product deals is ideal but seems next to impossible most of the time. Even when some of the products that you are looking for seem to be being offered at discount prices, in most cases they are still relatively expensive. Is there a secret way to getting the beauty product deals that you need? Whether or not it is a secret is uncertain, but what is for sure is the fact that you will find many of these deals available on the web.

Okay, so it may not be the first thing that you see, but there are some great opportunities for saving money through beauty product deals in cyberspace. You will likely find these opportunities by looking through the web. For example, you may be lucky enough to stumble to a beauty product wholesale dealer who is sure to be able to find you some great deals on all the products that you want.

You can often find discounts available on designer beauty products as well as many generics by watching for sales that are offered at your favorite designer’s website or the website of a large product dealer. These are some of the best sales. Make sure to check out if they have a clearance area where they may be trying to get rid of some of last season’s colors and styles to make room for the new. You will see that many times things are marked considerably down just because they need to get ready for the new stuff.

There is little doubt that the best products for you are those that you can find on the web. You will have access to virtually every location in which you can purchase these through and you can easily monitor sales and discounts as well. Beauty product deals are out there, throughout the web.

A movement towards natural remedies, holistic healing, naturopathy, etc. has been growing over recent years. However, an important point has been missed through all the hoopla. Natural is not always "better."

Many vendors sell all manner of herbs and oils, some of which can be used for medicinal purposes. So, if you wish to purchase herbs for their magickal properties, to use to burn, to put in a poppet, to make a sachet, to put in a ritual bath, or sprinkle to cleanse your space, have a marvelous time doing it. Herbs and oils can definitely be used for these purposes without much fear of harming yourself or others. Of course, you should be careful that anyone sensitive to smoke is out of the way before you burn any herb or oil, and check for allergies, but under most circumstances you’re going to be fine.

On the other hand, if you choose to use herbs or oils in ANY medicinal manner, for example, putting oils into a lotion or cream, making a tincture or tea, or otherwise using the herbs or oils inside or outside of your body, you’d better know what you’re doing. Not all plants are harmless. Remember, hemlock is natural. Poison ivy is natural. Some of the herbs and oils that are commonly sold CAN kill you.

If you decide to use any herbs or oils, inside or outside of your body, you are on your own. There is a reason some vendors don’t tell you what herbs are used for what purpose. They do not wish to be found responsible for anything that happens, good or bad, from your internal or external use of products. As you can tell from ridiculous lawsuits that are filed when people do things they shouldn’t do and then get hurt, many innocent vendors or product manufacturers find themselves out of business because they have to pay millions of dollars to nincompoops who should have known better.

Just as you would not walk into a pharmacy, buy a few random bottles of prescription medication, and take them without knowing what they are, the same precautions should be taken with herbs. Just because they are not regulated by the State, as prescription drugs are, does NOT mean they are safe.

We are not saying "don’t buy herbs or oils." That isn’t the point at all. The point is, know what you are doing. Know what you wish to achieve. Know the actions, interactions, effects, chemical breakdowns, dosage information, etc. of the component you wish to use.

If you are really interested in therapeutic uses of herbs, there are many wonderful resources out there that you can learn from. Merely going through Google and looking up the herb name is definitely not enough. Take the time to study, or go to a certified herbologist for help. However, even a Master Herbalist is not allowed to diagnose medical conditions or to prescribe herbs or other substances for your use. Those activities are restricted to licensed physicians.

Be sure of what you are looking for BEFORE you buy. Just remember - be careful out there.

Therefore it is a very good idea to use these creams on a daily basis to help fight back against these factors. If you do not use these creams on a regular basis then they will not work to form a protective barrier on your skin.

These creams are designed to protect the skin so they contain all the vitamins and nutrients needed to keep the skin looking young and healthy. While it is a good idea to use the creams when out in the sun, they should not be used for the purpose of keeping the skin healthy and young if you are not outside.

You’ve heard the terms Alpha-hydroxy Acids, Beta-hydroxy Acid, Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Copper Peptide, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, etc. What do these scientific terms really mean? How do they help your skin?

Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs)

You will find skin care products containing Alpha-hydroxy acids in creams, lotions and various anti-aging skin care products. Products with Alpha-hydroxy may decrease the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. If you have sensitive skin, you can consult with your day spa esthetician or dermatologist about using products with Alpha-hydroxy. Side effects of using Alpha-hydroxy acid products, include mild irritation and sun sensitivity. To lessen your chances of developing any side effects, use products every other day in the initial stages of trying the product.

Beta-hydroxy Acid (Salicylic Acid)

Studies have shown that products with Beta-hydroxy Acid improve the skin’s texture and color. Products with Beta-hydroxy acid tend to be less irritating to the skin than products with alpha-hydroxy acid. Many beta-hydroxy acid products can be found at your local drugstore or department store.

Retinol

Many skin care products contain retinol, a derivative of vitamin A. Retinol is used in acne skin care products such as Retin-A, a popular acne skin care product for teenagers, who tend to suffer harsh outbreaks of acne. Studies show that Retinol is able to penetrate the lower layers of the skin to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and re-hydrate the skin.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C allows the body to produce collagen, which is a key ingredient in the anti-aging process. The environment, sun damage and stress can wreak havoc on our skin, as we age. Vitamin C minimizes the aging process. Ask your day spa esthetician or dermatologist, for the best topical Vitamin C product.

Copper Peptide

Copper peptide, which has only been on the market since 1997, boosts collagen and elastin production. It helps to sustain firm skin and it does it better than other anti-aging skin care products. Copper Peptide also removes damaged collagen and elastin from your skin.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid

Alpha-Lopoic acid is believed to be the best anti-aging combatant due to its ability to fight skin damaging free radicals when compared to other antioxidants. Alpha-Lipoic Acid reduces fine lines and gives the skin a luster and healthy glow. It also boosts the levels of other antioxidants such as Vitamin C.

Have you ever examined the ingredients listed on the labels of your cosmetics or other skin care products? Do you know what those ingredients are?

What you may not realize is that many of the skin care products and cosmetics you are buying contain ingredients that are not only harmful to your skin, but also to your long term health. Many of these ingredients are known carcinogens (cancer-causing substances) and are used by the cosmetic industry simply because they are cheap!

Harmful Ingredients Commonly Found in Skin Care Products and Cosmetics:

The following are just some of the synthetic chemicals that have been identified by scientific studies to be harmful to our health.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS)

Often described as being "derived from coconut" to disguise their toxic nature, these chemicals are commonly used in shampoos, toothpaste, foaming facial and body cleansers and bubble bath. SLS and ALS can cause severe skin irritation, and are easily absorbed into the body, building up in the brain, heart, lungs and liver, leading to potential long term health problems. SLS and ALS may also cause cataracts, and prevent children’s eyes from developing properly.

Paraben Preservatives

Parabens are widely used in cosmetics, deodorants, skin care and baby products to prolong their shelf life. They are known to be highly toxic and have caused rashes and allergic reactions. Recent scientific studies in the UK found a strong link between the use of parabens and the increasing rate of breast cancer in women. Researchers found a high concentration of parabens in 90% of breast tumors tested.

Propylene Glycol

Found in many beauty creams, cosmetics and cleansers, Propylene Glycol can cause skin rashes and contact dermatitis, and has been shown to cause damage to the kidneys and liver.

Isopropyl Alcohol

Alcohol is used as a solvent in many skin care products. It causes skin irritation and strips the skin of its natural acid mantle, promoting the growth of bacteria, moulds and viruses. It may also cause premature ageing of skin.

DEA (Diethanolamine), TEA (Triethanolamine) and MEA (Monoethanolamine)

These substances are harsh solvents and detergents that are used in cosmetics and face and body creams as an emollient. They can cause allergic reactions, and long term use of DEA-based products (such as Cocamide DEA) have been linked to an increase in the incidence of liver and kidney cancer.

Aluminum

A common ingredient in antiperspirants, aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer’s Disease.

Mineral Oil

Derived from petroleum (crude oil), mineral oil is commonly found as a main ingredient of face and body creams and cosmetics. Baby oil is 100% mineral oil! It coats the skin like a plastic film, clogging pores and stopping the skin from eliminating toxins, which can lead to acne and other skin disorders. Other petroleum based ingredients include paraffin wax, paraffin oil and petrolatum.

Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)

Used as a thickener in skin care products and cosmetics, PEGs interfere with the skin’s natural moisture balance, causing an increase in ageing and leaving the skin vulnerable to bacteria.

Talc

Talc is a soft mineral used in talcum powders and cosmetic powders. Scientific studies have shown that routine application of talcum powder to the genital area is linked with a three-to-fourfold increase in the development of ovarian cancer. Inhaling cosmetic powders containing talc may also be harmful to long term health.

How To Avoid These Toxins

Examine the labels of your cosmetics and skin care products carefully, and learn to recognize ingredients that are harmful to your skin and to your health. Many web sites have lists of potentially harmful ingredients in addition to those shown above (e.g. Environmental Working Group).

Don’t be fooled by the words ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ on the front of the label. Many products contain at least one or two natural or organic ingredients, but they may also contain harmful synthetic chemicals as well.

Whenever possible, choose products with 100% natural ingredients such as essential oils and herbs. Your skin will love you for it!
