5 natural anti aging ingredients recommended by dermatologists
atural versus artificial ingredients are now becoming a routine part of skin care, not just in natural skin care products, but in commercial skin care as well. The growing demand for natural and organic foods as we become more concerned about the dangers of artificial additives and preservatives in the foods we eat can be seen in the increase of natural food stores and the availability of organic products in the grocery stores. Many commercial cosmetics companies are following this trend by using more and more natural ingredients instead of laboratory created ones in their products. Anti aging skin care products are extremely popular as we search for non surgical ways to preserve our youthful skin. I previously posted a list of some of the best natural anti oxidants for younger looking skin. Many of them were recommended by Dr Howard Murad- see link for his bio http://www.murad.com/about-us/dr-murad/dr-murad-biography as well as natural oils that are particularly effective aging skin. Here are five natural anti aging ingredients you might want to look for when you are looking for a new product. These ingredients are recommended by Dr Nicholas Perricone another renowned dermatologist http://www.perriconemd.com/category/the+doctor.do As the five best anti aging ingredients. 1. Vitamin C- which I included in my antioxidant list. See my 1/5/2013 post about the top 10 anti aging antioxidants 2. DMAE- (also known as "dimethylaminoethanol" and "dimethylethanolamine") is a natural compound sometimes used as an ingredient in skin-care products. Also sold in dietary supplement form, DMAE is essential to the production of acetylcholine (a type of chemical that helps nerve cells to transmit signals)There are indications that this ingredient can help improve to skin.

It acts as a skin conditioning agents, emulsifier and thickening agent for both food and cosmetic products. It is a safe and natural product. Topically applied lecithin acts as a natural moisturizer. It has skin protecting abilities and has the ability to penetrate the epidermis and carry substances to the right cell level. 4.Alpha Lipoic acid- This supplement is an anti oxidant and is thought to have the ability to prevent free radical damage. 5 Neuropeptides-Peptide skin careis not new. Peptides can be found in many high end cosmetic products. The two most common neuropeptides found in topical skin care products are acetyl hexapeptide-3 and palmitoyl pentapeptide-3. These peptides can help rebuild collagen. Other peptides have the ability to work to effectively increase lymphatic drainage and microcirculation by strengthening veins and capillaries, leading to a dramatic reduction in discoloration&swelling; around the eyes. By protecting the integrity of elastin&collagen bundles (two essential elements of the skin), and minimizing the impact of free radical damage, peptides can work to improve skin firmness and elasticity, giving the under eye region a lifting effect, while visibly reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improved skin compactness. Peptides have the ability to •reduced wrinkles • increased skin tonicity • increased skin firmness

What is Eczema an what causes it?
Have you ever had a red, itchy rash that does not go away? Chances are, it may be eczema. While mild eczema is not life threatening, it may be extremely uncomfortable with an itch. Symptoms usually vary depending on the individual, and may include dry, scaly, red and itchy skin. If left untreated, constant scratching may lead to bleeding, crusting, or broken skin open to possible infection. It is usually easily diagnosed by doctors by a physical check-up, and most of the time, does not require biopsies or additional testing.What Is It?According to the National Eczema Association, the term "eczema" is a general term used to describe dermatitis and can be interchangeably used. Although it comes in many forms, eczema mostly describes a dry skin condition that may be relieved by moisturizers and emollients. This skin condition is not contagious, so you cannot pass it on to other people or catch them from someone else.Causes A specific cause for eczema has yet to be identified. Many believe that this skin condition is attributed to a combination of factors that include:Dry, irritable skinIssues with the body's immune systemStressAnxietyEmotional disordersGeneticsMany of these factors are still speculation, with further research needed to confirm a specific cause for eczema. Factors like asthma and hay fever that are often associated with eczema could pose as possible leads. However, not all people who have been diagnosed with eczema have shown these particular medical conditions.Excerpt from http://www.symptomfind.com/diseases-conditions/eczema
