Apotek Smart Skin - An Excellent Anti Aging Product!

Many skin treatments are dubious, expensive creams, serums or lotions that do little more than cover up blemishes and discolorations or just add a healthy glow. Others are extreme and invasive, involving injections, surgery or lasers. Now a new generation of anti aging skin-care products draws on the same genomics revolution that has transformed research in human physiology to help reverse rather than simply disguise the appearance of aging.


Apotek Smart Skin Cellular Repair Complex is formulated with the world’s most advanced peptides and botanicals, is a leader in the science of skincare. Apotek’s peptide based daily core system helps builds a foundation of healthy, luminous skin and aids in dramatically diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, crows feet, dark circles under the eyes and puffiness. Employing the power of three patented peptides at greater concentrations than competitors, Apotek offers the advantages of cutting derma-technology without the risks and discomfort of potentially dangerous injections, lasers and surgery.

Tapioca Facial Mask

This quick and easy facial mask works well for all skin types.

Simply mix 1 tablespoon of small-pearl tapioca with 2 tablespoons of water.

Let the mixture soak for several hours before applying. (You can also use Instant Tapioca - the instant form does not need to soak quite as long - about one hour should be sufficient.)

Then stir the mixture into a fine paste and gently massage the mixture onto your face. Let dry for about 10-15 minutes then rinse with warm water.

This simple face mask will leave your skin soft and smooth. It works perfectly for all skin types, too!

Yogurt Facial Mask

One of the quickest and best facial masks you can use is plain old yogurt.

Yogurt is mildly acidic. This makes it perfect for removing surface impurities. It also helps to restore the skin’s protective acidic mantle.

Just spread the yogurt on your face in a thin layer; let it sit for about 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water and pat dry. Use your favorite moisturizer to finish up!

Note: Don’t let the dog near you while you are ‘curing!’ :)

Home Made Hair Rinse Recipe

You like Champagne. Your better half likes Beer.

If you combine Champagne and Beer, you actually make a popular (well, in Britain anyway) drink known as Black Velvet.

Did you know that by combining the two you will also have the perfect recipe for the perfect hair rinse?

Black Velvet makes an exceptional hair rinse that will leave your hair shiny and with lots of body and bounce. The alcohol in the liquid serves to remove any leftover soap residue after shampooing. You won’t find a better natural, homemade hair rinse anywhere. No commercial product even comes close.

To make your rinse, combine about 1/2 cup of Beer (Stout beer is best, but any beer will work) and 1/2 cup of Champagne. Blend gently and pour over your hair after your shampoo. (And don’t worry if the beer or champagne has gone flat; the effectives of the alcohol will still leave you hair shiny and with lots of bounce.)

Do you want to change your hairstyle? The easy way, that Is?

Here is a link to a fun site that allows you to do exactly that. You can play with the models and hairstyles in on the virtual hairstyle website, or you can upload a picture of yourself and study the effects of different hair cuts and colors before you visit your stylist. Lots of fun AND a great way to experiment!

Surprising Astringent Facial Mask Recipe for Oily Skin

Home made cosmetics are so easy to use, and some common, every day fruits and vegetables available in the local supermarket yield some remarkable ingredients for natural skin care products.

If you have oily skin, one of the best homemade facial masks you can use is tomato juice. Because it is quite acidic, tomato juice acts as an astringent to tighten pores. It is also an excellent product to use to cure and remove blackheads.

Simply use a clean cotton pad to lightly pat the tomato juice evenly over your face and neck. Let sit on your skin for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with tepid water.

If you have sensitive skin, squeeze the juice from yellow tomatoes, as they are slightly less acidic than the red varieties.

It’s amazing what you can accomplish with natural, homemade cosmetic recipes made with ordinary, everyday ingredients!

Manage Facial Wrinkles - Say No to Botox and Surgical Facelifts

News Update: U.S. group wants Botox warning after 16 death reports.

This news has been around for a few days now, but it is still well worth taking the time to consider the message about the dangers of Botox injections given to remove facial wrinkles.

While good commercial and home made facial products go a long way to keeping our skin soft and youthful looking, the fact of the matter that no one really wants to acknowledge is that as our skin ages, it wrinkles. And wrinkles make us look old.

Of course, one of our main combat methods in the ‘War of the Wrinkles’ definitely takes the form of quality cosmetic products along with gentle care and maintenance of delicate facial skin.

The other form of combat is to ‘disguise’ the wrinkles. And there are certainly many products on the market that help us to do exactly that.

I rarely endorse a commercial product, but after finding out about ‘Life Cell Skin’ I decided it was worth passing this information along to my readers. You can click the image below and get a free report about Life Cell Skin. You can also spend some time reading their rather lengthy sales page and decide for yourself if this is a product than can help you in your quest for smoother, younger looking skin.

I personally think it can, otherwise I wouldn’t have posted a link here. The reason I think it can is that this product makes no bones about ‘removing’ wrinkles. Rather, it is quite up front about the ingredients and technology the company uses to ‘manage the appearance’ of wrinkles.

It’s no secret. The ’secret’ ingredient in Life Cell Skin is silicon dioxide in the form of billions of microscopic, three-dimensional crystals! Expensive. But highly effective. And certainly a lot less expensive that Botox or invasive, cosmetic surgery.

You need to read through the material yourself and make your own, informed decision if this is indeed a product that can help you manage facial wrinkles, look younger, and generally improve your appearance.

So pour yourself a nice cup of mint or herbal tea (of course) and away you go. Enjoy the information. Post questions on the forum. Watch some of the testimonial videos. (I particularly like the testimonial from 87 year old former Broadway Ballerina, Olga Suarez.) All the video testimonials are good, but Olga’s struck me as being the most remarkable. What a beautiful, elderly woman she is - an inspiration to all of us aging baby boomers and other vintage ‘gals’ who are starting to, well, get on a bit!

Click the picture. Claim your free report. And read all about it! Enjoy!

Stop compromising with your age. New Breakthrough in anti-aging skin care science makes you look younger, no matter what your age!

Natural lip gloss is one of the best products you can use to moisturize dry lips in the cold, winter season. Natural lip gloss also makes a wonderful gift for that special friend or person in your life. Men like it, too!

Vanilla Lip Gloss Recipe

1 tbsp. Grated Beeswax
1/2 tbsp. Coconut oil
1/8 tsp. Vitamin E Oil

Yield: About 1 ounce.

Mix the beeswax, coconut oil, vitamin E oil together and place in a small, oven proof container. Heat the mixture until the wax softens and can be blended gently with the oils. Add the vanilla extract to the mixture, stir gently, and pour into a small, clean container. Enjoy!
