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.

Well, I don’t like it. Do you? I thought not. Unfortunately wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. And many things contribute to it. Lifestyle, the habits you have, or don’t have are a factor. Family genetics are another.

So what goes on in the skin as we age that causes those wrinkles to appear? Remember those fibroblasts I mentioned a couple times in other posts? Those factories of the skin that produce collagen, elastin and GAG’s (glycosaminoglycans, such a BIG word). These fibroblasts start slowing production over time. This is because of the natural aging process and from outside influences. The loss of collagen, elastin and GAG’s cause the skin to wrinkle and fold in on itself. Yuck. Read the rest of this entry »

There is some incredible information I want you to see! This is a video interview with a man who really has contributed something amazing to the field of anti-aging. He’s just one of the amazing Doctors behind my Wrinkle Reducing Skin Care!

Go get a cup of coffee or your favorite tea, sit back and relax for 25 minutes while you learn something that could change your idea of what good skin care technology is! You will be surprised and curious about how this could work for you. Contact me if you are.

So, you think because you are in your 20′s or 30′s you don’t need to worry about Anti-Aging Skin Care? Hmmm, you could not be more wrong! When I was at that stage in life I knew that one day I would have wrinkles. I moisturized, used good products, did what I could. Since I am an Esthetician I had access to some of the best skin care of the day. But none of them could prevent wrinkles from forming. The technology for those types of products did not exist. There were products that claimed to prevent wrinkles and reduce wrinkles, but they were just that, claims. Read the rest of this entry »

Do you see family traits when you look in the mirror? Your mother’s eyes? Or perhaps your father’s smile? Or maybe the shape of you grandmother’s face, the dimples in your grandfather’ s cheeks.

We all carry genetic coding passed from generation to generation that determines our physical characteristics.

Did you know that we also carry genetic coding that determines how we age? Researchers have discovered a genetic marker in our DNA that pre-determines how fast or slow we age. Meaning how early the wrinkles and the sagging skin show up. And that is due to loss of collagen and whatever our skin cells and fibroblasts (the factories for collagen, elastin and hydration production) have decided to do or not do.

Some of us may look younger than our actual years while others may look quite a bit older than we are.

Yeah, so not fair! Bugs me, too! However there are things we can do to improve how we age if we choose the right lifestyle. And we can select products with a proven track record of results in anti-aging to help keep us wrinkle free.

Personally, I find it fascinating that there is a genetic marker in our bodies that makes this aging decision. Not saying I like it, just that it is so interesting to me that this particular part of our genetic coding has been discovered and research has been published! Because that means better and more efficient anti-aging, wrinkle reducing skin care is being (and will continue to be) developed!

Now that… IS A VERY GOOD THING! Agreed? Of course you agree! You wouldn’t be visiting this blog if you didn’t agree!
