The arNOX enzyme and it’s role in aging has been something that has popped up in a number of my posts. So has ageLOC and the role it plays in anti-aging and  reducing the activity of the arNOX enzyme. There have been some links in previous posts that help to explain what the  arNOX enzyme does and why we do not want it to do that. Which in a nutshell is; MAKE YOU LOOK OLD.  So not good, right?

Most of what I have presented here on the blog has come directly from my own knowledge of  arNOX and the proprietary ingredient ageLOC by Nu Skin. ageLOC is the the #1 reason the ageLOC Facial Gels are so important to use with the Galvanic Home Spa. The gels are charged with negative and positive ions to cleanse and rejuvenate your skin as it delivers the ageLOC ingredient deep into your skin where it can neutralize arNOX. ageLOC is patented so only Nu Skin products have it.

So when I ran across this article I have quoted below, I just knew I had to share it. It doesn’t come from Nu Skin. And it doesn’t come from me. It is information from a separate source that explains and validates all I have presented here about arNOX and ageLOC. Be sure to check out those references at the bottom. If those don’t resonate as truth, you may be missing out on the best thing that could ever happen to your skin, ageLOC fighting arNOX.

Have You Ever Wondered Why Some People Look Younger Than Their Actual Age?

(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Are you destined to age at the same rate as your mother? After all, you’ve stayed out of the sun and haven’t picked up smoking –both major culprits for environment aging that cause those dreaded age spots and discoloration. And you’re long past making those funny faces given mom’s advice that your face may just stay that way, helping you to avoid those line and wrinkles that come from mechanical aging. But what about biological aging – the things that age you from the inside out?

Scientists have long believed that biological aging results from changes – perhaps linked to hormones or genes – within the body, and it is particularly noticeable in the appearance of your skin. However, until recently, little was known about the actual sources of aging and if they can be slowed.

Anti–aging skin care for the neck. Yes, your neck. And your décolleté  (that area between your collar bones and the top of your breasts). Ever think about it? Or do you just zoom in with that magnifying mirror on every little line on your face? By the way, both my Dermatologist and I recommend that you lose that magnifying mirror. I used to stare into one myself. So every single imperfection became larger than life. No one, I repeat, no one, sees what you see when using a 4x or 5x magnifying mirror. So stop torturing yourself. If you must use one for the application of eye makeup, OK. But stick to the eye makeup and move on.

Back to the neck. Yes it ages just like your face does. As we age we lose the nice layer of subcutaneous fat (baby fat, so it’s sometimes called).  Our faces and neck are the one area we don’t really want to lose fat, now is it? Because the fat in that area is what can keep your skin looking plump and youthful. Sadly, without it the skin sags. Around the eyes, cheeks and the neck.

So have you been ignoring your neck and décolleté when performing your morning and evening anti-aging regimen? Yes, you have? Time to start paying attention to that area. Read the rest of this entry »

Maybe you already know what Galvanic is but for those of you who don’t, its pure magic. No kidding! Nothing else can give you the result of Galvanic without shots, pain or invasive procedure.

Galvanic is  electric current that is applied to the skin.  Galvanic works on the principle of like charges repelling each other. A product that contains a negative ion will be pushed into the skin by a negative electric current. And a positively charged product will be pushed into the skin by a positive current.

Galvanic also has the ability to stimulate the circulation of oxygen and blood in the facial skin supplying an elevated level of nourishment. Skin care specialists have been using Galvanic for over 50 years in facial services. Galvanic also creates an environment in the skin that allows for an incredible  increase in the  efficacy of the skin care products you use after the treatment Neat, huh? Keep reading…  Plus I’ve got some  videos that demonstrate how to use it. Read the rest of this entry »

Poikiloderma Civatte (the Civatte refers to just below the epidermis/skin). I mentioned this skin condition in “Anti-Aging, Skin Care and IPL Treatment: Part I”.

Sounds scary, huh? It’s not. It’s a pigmentation issue caused by over exposure to the sun without sunscreen as a child. So all you moms out there, protect your little ones. Now that we have so many great sun protection products available, use them! Some researchers believe it is also hereditary as it seems to show up repeatedly in families.

Poikiloderma Civatte can take years to show up on the surface of the skin. It is mostly middle aged women (me), and sometimes men, that get this. It does sometimes show up in much younger individuals. It is predominately a female issue for some odd reason that no one has yet figured out. Hormonal perhaps?

So anyway, Poikiloderma Civatte is a brownish or reddish discoloration that appears on the neck, upper chest and sometimes the cheeks.  The more you expose the area unprotected to the sun, the more prominent it becomes. In some cases it can be itchy and/or scaly. Mine was fairly minor and only on the neck. It did not itch or appear scaly.

Can I tell you how much I did not like having this discoloration on my neck? I did not have as much discoloration as pictured above, but still it bothered me. I had been told at one time that my only option to remove it would be a laser treatment. Long downtime with the blistering and peeling. And costly. Read the rest of this entry »
