TheBeautyPlace.com is featuring its newest best-selling skin care formulated for specific types of skin.

(PRWEB) September 29, 2012

If you are in your 20s. Rejoice!, recently mentioned Rebecca, lead beauty consultant of TheBeautyPlace.com. Rebecca stated women in their 20s have plump, soft, and smooth skin. Skin surface cells are constantly renewing. Skin care regimens at this age hassle-free, but Rebecca states good preventative medicine will have any woman welcoming healthy skin well into her 30s. She stated anti-aging products are not necessary, but a gentle skin care line is ideal. She recommended Pevonia Ligne Lavandou Sensitive Skin Cleanser is a concentrated, very gentle, soap-free gel cleanser. It thoroughly improves impurities without disturbing skins natural moisture levels. It is ideal for sensitive skin. At this stage of the game all you have to do is cleanse, moisturize, and apply SPF! stated Rebecca.

A woman in her 30s will start to notice a few lines around the mouth, also called laugh lines, around lips or down the forehead. Rebecca stated a women in her 30s should start experimenting with anti-aging products. She stated to start investing in a moisturizer with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer is for use morning and night. It contains vitamins A, C, and E, and powerful antioxidants to help firm skin's appearance and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. At this age, a woman should continue with gentle skin care cleansing, but start to exfoliate 1-3 times a week to renew skin. Sunscreen application is recommended.

Women in their 40s and 50s experience dramatic hormonal changes which directly affect how skin looks. At this stage, the sun damage received during the late teens and early twenties will start to show. Skin will become drier and thinner, and that is the reason for the signs of aging. Women in this age group should wash morning and night with a gentle cleanser Jan Marini Bioglycolic Cleanser that exfoliates glycolic acid. The reason for exfoliating twice a day is because the outer layer of skin does not shed as efficiently.

Rebecca commented a hydrating moisturizer with natural ingredients will keep skin supple and smooth. Eye creams are highly important because the skin around the eye is delicate. Rebecca recommends a multi-tasking eye cream like Dr. Brandt Lineless Eye Cream. It promises to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, and nourishes fine skin around the eye with botanicals, vitamins, and antioxidants.

60s and 70s skin care needs changes drastically and her face may look smooth and well-kept, but her hands show your true age, said Rebecca. A brightening formula like NIA24 Sun Damage Repair for Decolletage and Hands uses Niacin to diminish hyperpigmentation and balance skin tone. Ruddy skin on dcollet is smoothed significantly. This antioxidant rich creams smooths and hydrates while lightening dark spots.

Following an article published by The Community Voice concerning the dangers of tanning, a representative for Likewise Skincare offers a response.

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) September 24, 2012

According to The Community Voice, over 2 million people in the US are diagnosed with skin cancer. The Community Voice article explains that too much UV exposure can lead to melanoma, a serious and life-threatening form of skin cancer. This can be prevented, the article reports, by having limited exposure to UV rays. The article states, The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), an independent group of national experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine, examined the research on counseling to prevent skin cancer. It issued a recommendation that health care professionals counsel young people ages 10 to 24 years old with a fair skin type about minimizing their exposure to UV rays to reduce their risk.

The Community Voice article advises parents to have children speak with professionals in order to better understand the dangers of indoor tanning and sun exposure. Likewise Skincare, a skincare manufacturer that includes SPF 50 in their products, commends the article. Lisa Shariat, representative for Likewise Skincare, explains, Its important to teach children healthy skincare habits and safe sun behavior early on. Once adolescents understand how damaging UV exposure is for their skin, hopefully they will be encouraged to stay away from tanning beds.

In addition to seeking advice from a health care professional, the article gives various tips to help people protect themselves against damaging UV rays. The Community Voice suggests using a broad-spectrum sunscreen, wearing protecting clothing like wide brimmed hats and avoiding tanning beds, sun lamps and the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when UV rays are at their most powerful.

Likewise Skincare was created by board-certified dermatologist and President of Likewise, Inc., Dr. Julie Pena. Likewise daily moisturizers are all-in-one but not one-fits-all. Each moisturizer is formulated with skin-balancing toners to work with your specific skin type. The moisturizers use a variety of anti-aging antioxidants, ultra-protective zinc oxide, and water-resistant ingredients to make sure you're protected.

Dee Martin of Marietta leads an active life. At 51, she hits the gym five days a week. She eats organic foods. Her weekend activities include mountain hikes and bike riding. But for some reason, no matter how much she followed the rules, she never seemed to drop the little bit of weight she wanted to lose.

After a visit to Dr. Ken Knott for a shoulder injury led to a discussion about hormone levels and testing, Martin made the connection. She had an underactive thyroid.

To improve her thyroid function, she began taking a thyroid supplement. She also took bioidentical hormones hormones that are identical in molecular structure to hormones made in the body. She tweaked her diet, per Dr. Knotts suggestions. In two months, Martin lost 15 pounds. Her skin, which had been dry and loose a trait she had assumed shed inherited from her mother became smoother and firmer, with her wrinkles less noticeable.

Martin was hooked on a growing, if controversial, medical focus known as anti-aging medicine.

I just want to age gracefully the way I am supposed to, Martin said. With Dr. Knotts program, you dont feel as old or look as old.

Knott is one of more than 100 doctors in the state listed with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), an organization created in 1992 to advance technologies that prevent and treat age-related disease as well as support research on extending life. Anti-aging medicine is not recognized as a specialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Doctors who practice anti-aging medicine use a range of treatments and therapies, including bioidentical hormones and supplements, that continue to be the subject of debate in the medical community.

Using hormones to replace a deficiency is generally accepted by most physicians, said Dr. Lawrence Phillips, an endocrinologist at Emory University Hospital. But using hormones to battle old age or improve health in non-deficient individuals is unproven.

No research has shown that hormone therapies add years to life or prevent age-related frailty, according to the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the federal governments National Institutes of Health (NIH). Some hormones may have harmful side effects, according to the NIA, and the bioidentical hormones prescribed by many anti-aging doctors have not been subjected to rigorous testing for safety and efficacy.

It is easy to get seduced into the claim that there is something called anti-aging medicine, said S. Jay Olshansky, a longevity specialist and professor at the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Exercise is about the only equivalent of a fountain of youth that exists today. It improves skin elasticity, muscle tone, bone density and you can do it for free, or pretty much free.

Anti-aging medicine has a long history, Olshansky said, with treatments such as caloric restriction and a precursor to hormone therapy surfacing in the pre-20th century. While many of todays anti-aging practitioners have their patients health and best interests in mind, Olshansky said, others are not far removed from the dollar-chasing hucksters of the past. I am optimistic that something is going to happen and happen soon that will allow us to slow the biological process, Olshansky said. But it is not anything that is out there today.

Anti-aging medicine earns converts and critics

Before, to be diagnosed with the big C seemed to be an implied death sentence. Patients even go through a stage of self-denial. Who can blame them? Conventional medicine paints a rather bleak future for cancer patients and the remedy it offers does nothing to improve their quality of life, nausea and falling hair not to mention.
However, the recent breakthroughs in science have allowed a peek into the true nature of cancer, allowing researchers to consider the concept of nutritional care. They are now faced with the idea that preventing and maybe even reversing cancer may not necessarily involve the development of expensive drugs but something already available in nature: food and sunshine! (http://dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3)
Just the facts
If something so powerful is actually available for everyone, why wouldn't someone take advantage of it?
The recent discovery that the body, with the help of vitamin D, possesses the capacity to fight many chronic illnesses has spurred the interest of many researchers - especially on the possibilities the sunshine vitamin can offer with regard to the prevention and reversal of diseases like cancer. A brief rundown of some facts, revealed by recent studies, can give us a perspective on how vitamin D can help.Read more…

(HealthDay News) -- Patients with worsening chronic heart failure may find "hospital-at-home" care is a good alternative to treatment in a traditional hospital, Italian researchers report.

An estimated 5 million North Americans suffer from chronic heart failure, a condition in which the heart struggles to pump blood to the body. In the United States, worsening chronic heart failure is the cause of more than 1 million hospital admissions a year, and patients have a 50 percent risk of readmission within six months of discharge, according to the authors of a study published in the Sept. 28 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.

But the hospital is often dangerous in itself, the study authors noted.

In the study, Dr. Vittoria Tibaldi and colleagues at the University of Torino, San Giovanni Battista Hospital in Torino, Italy, enrolled patients aged 75 years or older with worsening chronic heart failure. Some were treated at a general medical ward, while others received hospital-at-home care supervised by a doctor. Read more…

Dr. Mao Shing Ni, known as Dr. Mao, is a 38th-generation doctor of Chinese medicine, an authority on Taoist anti-aging medicine, and author of the best-selling book Secrets of Longevity, Second Spring: Hundreds of Natural Secrets for Women to Revitalize and Regenerate at Any Age, Secrets of Self-Healing, and most recently, Secrets of Longevity 8-Week Program: Simple Steps that Add Years to Your Life.

Dr. Mao is a co-founder of Yo San University and the Tao of Wellness, the acclaimed center for nutrition, Chinese medicine, and acupuncture, located in Santa Monica.

Dr. Mao was born into a medical family spanning many generations and started his medical training with his father, a renowned physician of Chinese medicine and Taoist Master, and continued his trainings in schools both in the U.S. and China. After receiving his doctorate degrees and completing his PH.D. Dissertation on Nutrition, Dr. Mao did his graduate work at Shanghai Medical University and its affiliated hospitals and began his 25-year study of centenarians in China. He is currently a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and the National Alliance of Oriental Medicine.

Along with your brother, Dr. Daoshing Ni, you founded the Tao of Wellness more than 25 years ago. What have been some of the keys to success for maintaining such a successful business in Santa Monica?

I have always felt that in life, everything you do should be done with a focus on exceptional quality and care. Whether you are providing a product or a service, people will always search for the best.

We have always maintained that we would rather have a happy patient that continues to come back then to have many patients that only come once.

As a result, we have been blessed with a flourishing practice that has grown to include offices in Newport Beach and Pasadena (summer 2012) to best serve our patients.

You two also founded Yo San University in Marina del Rey. What were the challenges and how did you overcome them?

The biggest challenges that we encountered while attempting to start Yo San University were rooted in the fact that we were young and nave about the processes involved with starting a school, and what we would need to do.

(HealthDay News) -- Even a few extra pounds and just a little inactivity increased the risk of heart failure in a major study of American doctors.

"What this study shows is that even overweight men who are not obese have an increase in heart failure risk," said Dr. Satish Kenchaiah, lead author of a report on the finding in the Dec. 23 issue of Circulation.

As for exercise, "even a little amount of physical activity appears to decrease the risk of heart failure," said Kenchaiah, who did the research as a epidemiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and is now at the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

The study has followed more than 21,000 doctors for two decades, measuring among other factors the influence of overweight and physical activity on development of heart failure, the progressive loss of ability to pump blood, which is often a prelude to major coronary events. Read more…

The actress weighs in on the booming men's makeup market with TODAY's Professionals, revealing whether she'd date a dude who wears tinted moisturizer.

Makeup for men is one of the hottest trends in the beauty industry. By 2016, the male cosmetics industry for tinted moisturizers, anti-aging creams, concealers, powders will be worth $3.2 billion. But cosmetics for men arent a welcome addition to everyones medicine cabinet.

I dont need much help, proclaimed TODAY's Professionals panelist Donny Deutsch on Tuesday.

Its a turn off for me, responded NBCs chief medical editor Nancy Snyderman.

But "Spiderman" actress Emma Stone was a little more accepting of the trend:

A resounding yes, 100 percent, she told Matt Lauer. You have to wear tinted moisturizer on camera. Weekend wear? I dont know, Ill think about it.

What do you think? Would you date a man who wears cosmetics?

Eating too much sugar certainly isnt wise for your waistline, but did you know that overindulging in dessert can add years to your face? And even if you do strenuous cardio workouts each week, youll be missing out on potential anti-aging body benefits if your schedule doesnt include yoga, weight training and rest.

Find out if youre making one of these eight common diet and exercise mistakes, and get smart prevention strategies that can keep you slim and youthful for years to come.

1. You Overdo Dessert

The breakdown of sugars, called glycation, damages the collagen that keeps skin smooth and firm. To prevent this natural process from careening out of control, Dr. Naila Malik, a dermatologist in Southlake, Texas, sticks to low-glycemic carbs like whole grains. Theyre naturally low in sugar, and the body processes them slowly to limit the loss of collagen. If you want to sweeten up your tea or oatmeal without making your skin look older, try all-natural stevia. Its an easily digested herbal sweetener that doesnt trigger glycation, according to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone, an adjunct professor of medicine at Michigan State Universitys College of Human Medicine.

2. You Spin Away Stress

Taking your work angst out on the bike or treadmill might make you feel better for a little while, but incorporating yoga into your fitness routine regularly may help you look younger and prevent breakouts while whittling away stress. Sounds like a winning workout to us! Yoga moves like childs pose, downward-facing dog and sun salutations improve circulation the boost of oxygen is what gives skin that lovely yoga glow, says Dr. Hema Sundaram, a Washington, D.C., dermatologist. New research finds regular yoga practice may reduce the inflammation and stress that speed skin aging. If you need another reason to om away your stress: High levels of tension can spike hormone production that leads to breakouts or aggravates conditions like psoriasis. Controlling stress keeps your skin calm, says Dr. Annie Chiu, a dermatologist in Los Angeles.

3. You Always Choose Coffee Over Tea

Research suggests that green and black tea contain protective compounds like EGCG and theaflavins that help prevent skin cancers and the breakdown of collagen, the cause of wrinkles.

4. You Pretend to Be Allergic to Dumbbells

Following a regular strength-training routine that creates better, more supportive muscle tone will help you firm sagging skin from the neck down. I am religious about strength-training, and I always tell patients to do it more as they get older, says Dr. Patricia Farris, a dermatologist in Metairie, La. Its like adding volume to the face with fillers, except on your body, says Farris.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. & LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Makucell, Inc., a pioneering regenerative biotechnology company dedicated to the development, manufacture and distribution of non-prescription products formulated to address the impact of aging and photo-damaged skin unveils the Renewnt (pronounced Re-new-int) brand, a revolutionary science-driven product line. Renewnts proprietary ingredient, Asymmtate, is a new approach to cellular aging, optimizing signals in the Wnt (pronounced wint) pathway to energize the skins stem cells, encouraging youthful cell behavior. The result is younger-looking skin which appears firmer and smoother. This molecular process is the key to our proprietary technology developed at USCs Keck School of Medicine and transferred to Makucells Renewnt skin care line.

Renewnt delivers extraordinary regenerative ability in a hydrating cream, providing an advanced anti-aging option. Asymmtate in Renewnt wakes-up the skins stem cells which have become sluggish with age, to begin rebuilding the underlying supporting skin matrix. As a result, skin looks plumper and has a rejuvenated, youthful appearance.

The Makucell Science

The bodys signals govern skin stem cells, controlling the decision to remain dormant, divide or differentiate (become normal, active tissue cells). Signals flow in pathways and multiple paths converge into one the Wnt pathway. Makucells proprietary molecule Asymmtate encourages optimal signaling in the Wnt pathway. Optimal signaling stimulates the skin stem cells to begin the process leading to keratinocytes, fibroblasts and other dermal cells which produce collagen, elastic tissue and substances in the supporting skin matrix. This essential regenerative process is the key differentiator in Makucells Renewnt skin care products.

Michael Kahn, Ph.D. and his team of gifted research scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research of the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California developed the revolutionary ingredient, Asymmtate, Makucells core technology. Dr. Mark V. Dahl, Makucell Chief Medical Officer and former President of the American Academy of Dermatology as well as Professor Emeritus at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona, developed the formulations designed to target a specific skin type on a particular area of the body. Makucell has tested all the Renewnt products for safety and efficacy. The products:

Makucell is committed to supporting our claims with results from controlled, blinded studies, explains Dr. Dahl. We conducted standard industry safety tests, and the results were universally positive; Renewnt products were well tolerated with no adverse effects or safety issues. A combination of clinical trials and in vitro gene expression studies from treated biopsied skin continues to corroborate the aesthetic effects noted in the clinic.

Dr. Lawrence Rheins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Makucell, commented, Renewnt delivers extraordinary regenerative ability in a hydrating cream, providing an advanced anti-aging option. Asymmtate in Renewnt wakes-up the skins stem cells which have become sluggish with age, to begin rebuilding the underlying supporting skin matrix. As a result, skin looks plumper and has a rejuvenated, youthful appearance.

Makucells current Renewnt skin care product line includes:

Renewnt for Hydration, a day and night facial moisturizer for a more youthful-looking appearance.

Renewnt for Strength, for the dry, thinning skin on hands and forearms to seal in moisture, repair the signs of aging and restore the essential skin barrier.

Dr. Bruce Katz Named Top Doctor By Castle Connolly

Consumers often spend hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars a year on skin care products in an effort to improve the look of their skin. From anti-aging serums to acne medications, many adults and teens regularly apply medications or treatments to their skin. But does the sequence in which skin care products are applied influence how well the products work? Dermatologists say yes.

"Medications or treatments should be applied directly after washing your face," said board-certified dermatologist Susan C. Taylor, MD, FAAD. "This ensures that the medications or treatments are properly absorbed by the skin. Otherwise, people may think a product isn't working because it's applied in the wrong order."

To maximize the effectiveness of skin care products, Dr. Taylor recommended people take the following steps when caring for their skin:

Wash your face. Use a gentle cleanser and gently pat dry.

Apply medication or treatment. If you are using a medicine or other treatment on your skin, you should apply this right after cleansing unless otherwise recommended by your dermatologist. When applying any cream around your eyes, use your ring finger, as it is the weakest finger and will not pull too hard on this delicate skin.

Apply moisturizer and/or sunscreen. Apply makeup, if desired. "It's important for people to know that using several products at the same time may not only negate the benefits of each product but also irritate the skin," said Dr. Taylor. "Using too many products may cause redness, stinging and dryness of the skin, especially if an anti-aging product is included. The signs of aging may then be more noticeable. A dermatologist can address any questions or concerns that you have about caring for your skin." These steps are demonstrated in "Get the Most from Your Skin Care Products," a video posted to the Academy website and the Academy's YouTube channel. This video is part of the Dermatology A to Z: Video Series, which offers relatable videos that demonstrate tips people can use to properly care for their skin, hair and nails. A new video in the series will be posted to the Academy website and the YouTube channel each month. Headquartered in Schaumburg, Ill., the American Academy of Dermatology (Academy), founded in 1938, is the largest, most influential, and most representative of all dermatologic associations. With a membership of more than 17,000 physicians worldwide, the Academy is committed to: advancing the diagnosis and medical, surgical and cosmetic treatment of the skin, hair and nails; advocating high standards in clinical practice, education, and research in dermatology; and supporting and enhancing patient care for a lifetime of healthier skin, hair and nails.

When applying any cream around your eyes, use your ring finger, as it is the weakest finger and will not pull too hard on this delicate skin. 3. Apply moisturizer and/or sunscreen. 4. Apply makeup, if desired.

Its important for people to know that using several products at the same time may not only negate the benefits of each product but also irritate the skin, said Dr. Taylor. Using too many products may cause redness, stinging and dryness of the skin, especially if an anti-aging product is included. The signs of aging may then be more noticeable. A dermatologist can address any questions or concerns that you have about caring for your skin.

These steps are demonstrated in Get the Most from Your Skin Care Products, a video posted to the Academy website and the Academys YouTube channel at http://youtu.be/Q8OdZQU7u-I. This video is part of the Dermatology A to Z: Video Series, which offers relatable videos that demonstrate tips people can use to properly care for their skin, hair and nails. A new video in the series will be posted to the Academy website and the YouTube channel each month.

Get the Most From Your Skin Care Products: Dermatologists Say the Sequence in Which You Apply Skin Care Products ...

ScienceDaily (June 19, 2012) Consumers often spend hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars a year on skin care products in an effort to improve the look of their skin. From anti-aging serums to acne medications, many adults and teens regularly apply medications or treatments to their skin. But does the sequence in which skin care products are applied influence how well the products work? Dermatologists say yes.

"Medications or treatments should be applied directly after washing your face," said board-certified dermatologist Susan C. Taylor, MD, FAAD. "This ensures that the medications or treatments are properly absorbed by the skin. Otherwise, people may think a product isn't working because it's applied in the wrong order."

To maximize the effectiveness of skin care products, Dr. Taylor recommended people take the following steps when caring for their skin:

1. Wash your face. Use a gentle cleanser and gently pat dry.

2. Apply medication or treatment. If you are using a medicine or other treatment on your skin, you should apply this right after cleansing unless otherwise recommended by your dermatologist. When applying any cream around your eyes, use your ring finger, as it is the weakest finger and will not pull too hard on this delicate skin.

3. Apply moisturizer and/or sunscreen.

4. Apply makeup, if desired.

"It's important for people to know that using several products at the same time may not only negate the benefits of each product but also irritate the skin," said Dr. Taylor. "Using too many products may cause redness, stinging and dryness of the skin, especially if an anti-aging product is included. The signs of aging may then be more noticeable. A dermatologist can address any questions or concerns that you have about caring for your skin."

Get the most from your skin care products: Sequence in which you apply skin care products influences their effectiveness

Many of us tell ourselves that we will allow ourselves to be happy when:

A. I have X amount of dollars in the bank. B. I meet my true love/soulmate or when my partner finally wakes up and loves me the way he/she ought to. C. When I get a better job. D. When I lose weight.

The list can go on and on.

By focusing only on what we feel is lacking or what we need for our future, we put our present lives on hold or cause more delays because we are not connected to the present. The present is the future; as you read this sentence it is already one second later.

This powerful insight came to me during meditation, and it has created a huge shift in my reality. Each moment is an experience of success, so placing ourselves in the intentional knowing and understanding that we are living in the moment of success creates a continual chain of a successful life.

Doing this places us in a vibrational cycle that causes continuous experience to be a constant reflection of a life of perfection. Instead of meditating we can live the perfection by realizing the journey is the moment of perfection.

Nothing needs to happen in order for me to feel successful; I am successful right now. Nothing needs to happen in order for me to feel loved; I am loved right now. Nothing needs to happen in order to feel valid; I am valid right now.

To support a positive shift within and create harmonious relationships in personal and professional affairs:

1. Find the peaceful place inside now by not placing happiness outside yourself, which is reacting to external things. Freedom comes from creating your own reality independent of what others think or are doing.

2. Drop out of all high-drama situations. Just don't participate anymore.
