The Latest Technology

The Best All-In-One Facial Treatment

What is the HydraFacial^TM?

It is the newest breakthrough in skin resurfacing technology.
It’s available only to physicians.

The Hydrafacial does all this — SIMULTANEOUSLY:

• Cleanses
• Exfoliates
• Extracts
• Hydrates
• Nourishes

What Can You Expect?

• Improved acne-prone skin; less oily
• Refined skin tone & skin texture; reduced under-eye puffiness
• Hydrated skin; improved suppleness & elasticity of skin

How Does It Work?

It exfoliates dead skin cells and extracts impurities
with a vacuum-based skin abrasion tip
while simultaneously bathing the healthy underlying skin
with active serums that cleanse deeply, exfoliate thoroughly,
hydrate completely and provide residual antioxidant protection.

When you leave, you look amazing!
And the glow lasts for days.

I want one every week.

Honestly,

Japanese Tsunami Victim

Beauty Giants Help

During The Japan Crisis

Japan has always been in the vanguard
of all things beauty. Many corporate giants
involved in beautification are giving a helping hand
to some tsunami victims in Japan.

According to “Stylist”:

“And so some of beauty’s biggest names
have stepped forward
in the aftermath of the earthquake devastation,
looking to help the battered country rebuild
with the aid of remarkably generous donations —
some of which reach into the millions.”

“L’Oreal” will donate $1.3 million to the Japanese Red Cross
and “Creed” will donate a portion of all online sales
to the American Red Cross.

Some people may not take “the beauty industry” seriously.

This type of generosity proves them wrong.

Thank you, Dr. Siegel, for posting this information.

Anti Aging Trends For 2011

First in a series

Trend # 1 – More Science Impacting Skin Care and Beauty

As science advances, the new ingredients in skin care
have also improved.

Ageless Elaine loves this.
That’s why I’m putting it first.

Companies who are careful about product development
and study the science behind ingredients
know what works and what is just junk science.

•   Peptides

These are short chains of amino acids similar to proteins
that are currently very popular in skin care formulations.

Peptides are currently used to, among other functions,
help lift the skin and create collagen and elastin,
key functions in anti aging efforts.

Their benefits are gaining popularity
and their use will continue.

•   Antioxidants

These important anti aging ingredients
help the body fend off free radical damage.

Antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C, and E, alpha-lipoic acid,
and others often found naturally in foods
such as  green tea and CHOCOLATE  abound
and will continue to enjoy widespread use.
And rightly so.

Love chocolate.

•   Acids

Glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids help
exfoliate dead skin.

Careful, controlled and PROFESSIONALLY SUPERVISED
acid exfoliation is an excellent component
of a healthy anti-aging beauty regime.
There will continue to be a need for acid exfoliation for the foreseeable future.

promotes scientifically proven anti aging products.

We even have dark chocolate for you!

Dry, Flaky, Left-over Turkey

Here’s a RealAge Tip from “Live Life to the Youngest”

“What do your skin and that last slice of leftover turkey
in the fridge have in common?

They both might be a little dry right about now.

So do them both a favor.

Make yourself a little portobello mushroom gravy — and eat it.

Why?

Because mushrooms provide a host of nutrients that give skin a radiant, youthful glow,
writes Allison Tannis in Feed Your Skin, Starve Your Wrinkles.
And we already know what gravy does for turkey leftovers.

Skin-Loving Fungi

Actually, just about any type of mushroom –
portobello, crimini, white button, shiitake, oyster –
will help buoy a youthful complexion, writes Tannis.
All because of the following vitamins and minerals:

• Selenium — Selenium shields newly formed skin cells
  from damage brought on by chemicals, inflammation,
  or too much time in the sun.
  Exactly what you want, because newbie skin cells
  are what make your skin look soft and young.
• B vitamins — Mushrooms are loaded with B1
  (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5, and B6 –
  all of which support the metabolic process
  behind the growth of brand new skin cells. ..
  
• Copper — This is another nifty mineral for your skin –
  and it’s especially abundant in crimini mushrooms.
  Copper helps your body manufacture antioxidants –
  including those that mop up cellular by-products in skin mitochondria.”

I KNEW I loved mushrooms!

And, of course, I LOVE to eat.

Just drink water to look like me!

The Secret to Beautiful Skin?

Here’s what Deborah Chase just posted in her “No Nonsense Beauty Blog”:  

Its hard to pick up a newpaper or magazine without reading of another celebrity  who credits her  good looks to-wait for it- drinking  plenty of water.  For example Kim Kardashian   has admitted to  extensive laser hair removal (” hey, I’m Armenian”) and  posted  photos of her post- Botox bruises.    

Yet in an interview she credits her luminous skin and incredible body to drinking water.
 
Now I have nothing against water but its not the fountain  of youth.  I drink it every day and in fact I  especially like Poland Spring water  which is from a real  spring and not  just filtered  reservoir water.  And I can understand that iconic beauties don’t want to reveal their use of Botox, fillers, lasers or even IPL.    

But why  can’t they  share some  real beauty advice that is safe and affordable such as   Retin A, glycolic peels or microdermabrasion.    

Something more honest than water.  

 Ageless Elaine couldn’t agree more.  

What Do You Think?

Ageless Elaine,
Your Anti-Aging Expert  

who definitely drinks a lot of water
(my favorite is Pellegrino because it reminds of my years in Italy)
but also loves her Botox, fillers, peels, and fractional laser treatments…
