Anti-Aging Skin Care's Roster of Players
In a previous article I addressed the factors contributing to the aging of our skin. In this article I want to address the more popular topic of stopping and/or reversing the aging of our skin. Of course there is no such thing as the long sought-never found Fountain-of-Youth, but that doesn't stop the claims of the modern day snake doctors.
There is no lack of products available to treat our skin. Some are "clinically proven" while others that have been around for ages have been proven through repeated use over long periods of time. Among the "clinically proven" we have alpha-hydroxy and beta-hydroxy acids; probably the best known of the bunch and both used as "peels". Almost all of these products are acids,but I'm not sure that is relevant. Several of these substances act as bleaches to "whiten the skin. Some act as fillers. Some such as Retinol and the vitamins C, E, and K enhance the bodies ability to produce new skin and produce collagen and elastin. All of these work and most are safe except you do need to check the allergy info on any product you use, "clinically proven" or not.
"Clinically proven" excludes some really good stuff. Most everyone has heard of the enzyme CoQ10. The absence of this enzyme is a marker for aging so it makes sense to me to supplement it as we grow older. Collagen is used extensively by those seeking their elusive youth. Estrogen makes the news weekly. DHEA is one I have heard of ,but have found no research that impresses me. There is a lot of hype about green tea, but if it was good for your skin, seems to me all orientals would have great skin since they drink so much of it. Aloe Vera is a plant whose pulp has incredible healing power, especially in the case of burns. Tamanu oil is the South Pacific's answer to Aloe Vera and the Melanesians invented pretty skin. Mexico has a tree that produces a similar product, but I would never attempt to spell it. Coconut oil is a great moisturizer and smells as good as anything out there. Try a little Melanesian skin care and and dream of sandy beaches in exotic places.
I often wonder what the ancient Egyptians did to their dead. Imagine having great skin thousands of years after you're dead and buried. All natural substances for sure. Their living had to look fabulous.

If your youngster is dealing with a bad case of eczema, there are a number of baby eczema treatment options that are available for you to try. It can help to take a closer look at baby eczema in order to help you understand why your child is dealing with the problem. Here is a little bit of information that will help you to understand why your child is suffering. It may help you to recognize what you can do to assist them in overcoming baby eczema effectively.
The first thing that you should understand is that any baby eczema treatment that you are going to try is not going to be the same as a treatment for allergies. Although it certainly is possible that eczema can be triggered by food allergies, more often than not, it is a condition that does not have a recognizable underlying cause. Eczema symptoms are more commonly found in children whose parents have difficulties with asthma or other allergic reactions. It may be a good idea to start your investigation by looking at any allergies that your child may have, but there are probably going to be other non-allergy related treatments that will help to ease the problem.
One of the eczema treatment options that you have is to avoid giving your baby any food that could cause an allergic reaction. Some of the most common of these food items are dairy products and eggs. Even if you think that you're not feeding your baby any of these these food items, you may still be passing many of the allergens to them through your breast milk if you are breast-feeding. You may need to alter your diet if your baby is showing allergic reactions in order to give them some relief from these symptoms.
Another very effective baby eczema treatment is known as the bleach bath. It is very important that you understand how to properly treat your child in this way, as a bath that has too much bleach in it can be very damaging to the skin. Speak to your doctor about this particular treatment before you decide to try it. I can tell you, however, that this particular treatment proved to be so effective during testing that the researchers would cut the trial short in order to give the placebo group an opportunity to receive the same beneficial effects of this treatment.
There are a variety of other treatment options that are available, but many times it also has to do with making your child as comfortable as possible. Keeping their skin moist by avoiding any chemicals or soaps that would dry out their skin would be a good place to start. You would also be advised to dress your baby in natural cotton clothing, preferably made from organic cotton. If they are very young, have them wear cotton gloves during an active outbreak and keep their fingernails cut short in order to avoid damage to their skin. These are all things that you can do to help your baby be more comfortable while experiencing eczema symptoms. Hopefully, these procedures will help to alleviate the condition.
