Care for some Peptides in your skin care?

I know it, you know it, there are a lot of expensive creams out there that are all hype and zero substance.
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’s peptide based daily core system, formulated with the world’s most advanced peptides and botanicals, helps builds a foundation of healthy, luminous skin and aids in dramatically diminishing the appearance of fine lines, dark circles under the eyes, puffiness, wrinkles and crows feet.

What’s in Apotek’s products?
— ACETYL HEXAPEPTIDE-3: reduces existing facial wrinkles and protects against the development of new facial wrinkles.
— PALMITOYL OLIGOPEPTIDE-3: is an anti-aging peptide that smoothes wrinkles and repairs damaged skin.
— PALMITOYL TETRAPEPTIDE-3: delays the effects of premature aging by improving the elasticity and firmness of the skin. It hydrates, protects and smoothes skin similarly to DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) which is known as the “youth hormone”.
Employing the power of these 3 patented peptides at greater concentrations than most other skincare products, Apotek offers the advantages of cutting derma-technology without the risks and discomfort of potentially dangerous injections, lasers and surgery.

Their site also has interesting scientific articles and studies on skincare, peptides and anti-aging. I invite everyone who’s a bit interested about their skin health to drop by @ apoteksmartskin.com.
ps: they offer FREE FedEx shipping on all orders!

Ok, so every now and then Hollywood stars and icons decide to open up and “tell the truth” about their everlasting beauty, and instead of revealing the phone number of their plastic surgeon, they’ll come up with the most extravagant reasons for their ever-youthful appearance. Sometimes it’s praying to the Lord for a pair of bigger breasts, sometimes it’s retreating to an Austrian detox farm for some good ol’ medieval blood sucking. Excuse me?
The latter is exactly what Demi Moore has revealed to Mr. Letterman - apparently letting leeches suck her blood is what makes her as glowingly beautiful as she looks. Uh?
We admit we are always interested in new/alternative ways to improve our appearance, but too much is too much.

If you too are looking for smooth, radiant skin, you’d better rely on what many other celebrities are loving (and we do, too): the tried & true DERMAdoctor Physical Chemistry Facial Microdermabrasion + Multiacid Chemical Peel, for example.

DERMAdoctor Physical Chemistry helps to reduce the appearance of numerous skin conditions including: Fine Lines/Wrinkles, Uneven Complexion, Post-Acne Hyperpigmentation, Enlarged Pores and more serious problems like Facial Keratosis Pilaris.
This ground breaking cosmeceutical technology is the first single-step, high-potency multiacid chemical peel and microdermabrasion treatment in one.

What makes it so unique? Read more on page 2.

Nowadays, we all are aware that the environment we live in is full of pollutants, additives, preservatives and other nasty things that officially turn our cities into toxic wastelands. If you don’t think there are toxins in the air, in our food, in the water - you are mistaken.
Add our stress levels, sedentary jobs and bad eating habits. The first resulting sign is that we tend to become tired and rundown. But over a period of time, these effects build up and emerge in many different forms - from passing infections, skin eruptions, headaches & digestive problems to serious health conditions.
But there are ways in which we can help decrease the levels of toxic substances in our bodies: detoxify.

The first rule: drink-drink-drink. No, put down that Cosmopolitan girl, we mean water.
Water is Mother Nature’s first and best detox ingredient, and is crucially important to support your body while eradicating all toxins out of your body.

Give your body a breathing spell, and let your face, your hair, your feet, and your whole body cleanse and restore a more balanced state.

Unwanted imperfections, breakouts and spots are a sign that some deep cleansing is needed, both inside and out. So the inevitable cut-back is on but while do your inner detoxify, think about tweaking your skincare regime to a more deep-cleansing one.
On our way to purification, we’ve encountered & loved Skyn Iceland Detox Kit for Stressed Skin. Stress deprives skin of nutrients, moisture and oxygen. And when skin is starved, it’s less supple, drier, more prone to irritation, inflammation and premature aging. The Skyn Iceland Detox Kit gives stressed skin a fighting chance. Over the course of five days, these four products work in harmony to help heal exhausted, irritated and depleted skin so it emerges soft, clear, fresh and glowing. The kit includes: Arctic Face Mist, Oxygen Infusion Night Cream, the ANTIDOTE Quenching Daily Lotion and the Glacial Face Wash - all with Biospheric Complex, Skyn Iceland’s proprietary blend that combines the best of nature with the latest in technology to help soothe, heal and restore skin.
