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.

(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.

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?

Tanning beds. If you read the previous post on Tanning Beds you already know how I feel about them. I don’t like them. I mean.. I. REALLY. DON’T. LIKE. THEM. For me, or for you. They age your skin, rob you of your skin’s natural beauty.  And more importantly, they put you at risk for serious health issues. Like, um, cancer.

Now I realize that I left some important information out of that last post. It is called ADDICTION.  Yeah, if you are using a tanning bed you may have a monkey on your back.

Heard of endorphins? Runners high? Endorphins are a naturally occurring chemical in the body.  When endorphins are released into your system you feel good. Endorphins are a natural pain reliever, so if you are wondering why someone running for miles could possibly feel good, that’s why. Now how about tanning bed high? Read the rest of this entry »

The first thing other people notice about us is our face. And I have spent a good deal of time here addressing how to take good care of your face and keep those wrinkles from creeping up on you. And to minimize, reduce the appearance of the wrinkles you may already have.

Want to know the second thing that gets noticed? Your hands. Our hands get more attention than you think. We use our hands in so many ways that we are not even conscious of. We use our hands to gesture in anger and excitement, to add emphasis to nearly everything we say. Our hands convey feelings of love and comfort when we caress or touch a loved one.

Like to get out when the weather is warm? Ever thought about how the sun and warm weather, at home or on vacation, can affect how you age?

Sunscreen can slow the aging of your skin. By now pretty much everyone should know that. And those of you who are over 30 will be seeing pretty obvious changes in your skin if you have neglected the use of a good sunscreen.

Sunscreen is an anti-aging treatment! It is your first line of defense for anti-aging. Even if you are young you should be thinking about anti-aging and the role sunscreen plays in it. If you are over 30 and didn’t use sunscreen as a younger woman, you may well be wishing you did! If that is the case, start using sunscreen now if you haven’t already. And for any damage that you are seeing as a result of not using sunscreen, fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, etc., there are products available to start you on your way back to more youthful skin.
