Anti-Aging Secret Revealed on Rachel Ray

I enjoy watching Rachel Ray's show. When I get out of class early and got the time, I'll lay out on the couch and watch her shows. My favorite segment... her human labs.

Check out this video and learn some secrets from her human lab segment for anti-aging:

Fountain of Youth in Wine? Oh I Hope So!

In the past twenty or thirty years, there has been scientific studies of red wine, and it all began with the French. Despite a high fat diet and high consumption of alcohol, only a small number of these people suffer heart diseases compared to Americans.

The theory, red wine! Which has been undergoing through a variety of scientific tests from health and disease related issues, and now to the skin! It's been suggested that red wine contains the chemical resveratol that promotes anti-aging, allowing those to take it, look younger.

Experiments have been done on monkeys and researchers have noticed that the monkeys who are coming near to the end of their average lifespan of 27 year, and who have taken resveratol consistently look much younger, healthier, their coat is more shinier than the controlled monkeys which have not taken resveratol. In fact, fewer of the monkeys that took reservatol suffered arthritis.

So I might go to GNC and try it out!

I Believe in Isotonix

Here is the number one product I use to mainly focus on age prevention, Isotonix OPC-3 Beauty Blend. It is my best kept secret (well not anymore) to keep my skin glowing. Even though I am in my twenties, but I can tell a difference. While my friends are also in their mid twenties or older, I can see their skin starting to lose its luster. Even some of them have begun to form wrinkles but don't even realize it. With Isotnix OPC, my skin feels as soft and smooth before I had acne.

Think of Isotonix OPC-3 as a vitamin pill designated to solely prevent you from aging but in liquid form. Everyone in my family uses it, even the males in my family. Some use it for acne, others like me use it to keep my skin looking young, and I am seeing results. Not just on me, but on my whole entire family. Most of the males in my family tend to have severe acne even well into their adulthood, and after three months I don't see a single zit on their face. My aunts who are well into their forties and fifties now look like they're in their twenties and thirties. It is miraculous how healthier our skin looks.

Isotonix is really like a vitamin pill, but it comes in powder form and all you have to do is mix it with a very small amount of water. Unlike regular vitamin pills, your body will completely absorb all of the Isotonix mixture where as regular vitamin pills you may only absorb 30% of what you actually swallow, the rest of it is flushed down the toilet. So to put it really simple, if your taking the regular vitamin pills whether it's for health, bones, heart, etc, you are not taking all that vitamin daily value, only just a small percentage of it.

So what's in Isotonix? Isotonix OPC-3 Beauty Blend contains a high concentration of vegetable extracts such as grape seed extract, red wine extract, bilberry extract, citrus bioflavanoids and it is completely natural. No extra lab chemical added. What makes these ingredients effective is that they are free-radical scavengers, preventing cellular damage from pollution such as smog.

You can't find this product in stores, well at least I haven't seen them around here. I get my supply from a nutritionist in Canada! However you can find it online, but they usually run at $60-$70 a bottle which seems expensive, but a bottle should last you for three to four months. If you would like to try OPC but for a cheaper price, just feel free to send me an email found in my profile, and I will connect you to my nutritionist.

SUNBLOCK- The Propaganda for Anti-Aging Products

In this post I'm taking a different route in my sunblock series. Many beauty product corporations are claiming to be anti-aging or even age reversing all because of one ingredient... sunblock. Do not be fooled by products that claim to be anti-aging or age reservsing! Now sunblock can prevent damages to the skin but age reversing? I don't think so... There is no FDA regulation for what qualifies as using the term anti-aging, so companies like Neutrogena are using it loosely! All they have to do is just stick a little SPF into any products of theirs and voila... it's all of the sudden an age-reversing product!

Evidence #1: Neutrogena Anti Oxidant Age Reverse Day Lotion with SPF 20

I have never like the majority of Neutrogena's products, there has only been one item from the brand line that has passed my test. As a consumer, Neutrogena has failed me over and over again, from face wash to shampoos and conditioners. So when I hear the name Neutrogena, its rings a negative resonance for me.

Now back to Neutrogena Anti Oxidant Age Reverse Day Lotion with SPF 20, age reverse my ass! (Excuse my language- but I am very bitter about this product). Yes, I know I'm only in my twenties but I have seen actual results from other products that also have claimed to be anti-aging or age reserving. With this product, it was a complete epic failure! And even as a sunblock, it ranks the bottom of my list.

First of all, like I said when it came to age reversing it was a complete failure, I saw no results. Now I may not have any wrinkles, but I do suffer from an uneven skin tone time to time. So this product even out my skin tone like it claimed it would... NOPE! NOTHING.. NADA!

Well since this product won't work in the age reversing category, I thought I might as well just use it as a sunblock. The experience?... Horrible! Even though this product claimed to be more of age reversing lotion, it felt more like a sunblock than it did a moisturizer. It smelled like one too. The product was oily and greasy, and felt heavy when applied on. To top it all off, only a week and a half after purchasing this product, it started to separate on me. The oil from this product must have separated itself and when I tried to apply it nothing but oil and grease came out of this tube! Literally, clear drops of oil was squeezed out. So I had to throw away $20 in the garbage. I'm not risking a break out!

So save your money and don't buy this product! Unless you want to apply oil all over your face... (I'm still angry at this product... )

Spring Breaks.. Summer Vacays.. Oh My!

In the spirit of Spring Breaks and Summer Vacay, I have been inspired through a friend's blog 'A "Royal" Getaway' to start a series on sunblock lotion. And for someone who loves to have that tan colored skin, I do not like to hear the word sunblock, but you gotta do it! It's better to be safe than sorry or in my case I rather look young and pale rather than old, tanned and wrinkly. You know what I'm talking about... the older people who shouldn't tan but still do which makes their skin look leathery and even more wrinkled, yuck!

Not to get off topic but ever wonder how those celebrities like Sheryl Crow and Cindy Crawford never seem to age? Wanna know the first step?... It's Sunblock! (Sheryl Crow doesn't leave the house without it!)

So before you zip up your luggage, stay tuned as I unveil my favorite sunblock lotions that you might wanna pack away as well as some of my not so favorites that you might just wanna leave at home.
