Rebuild Your Skin With Copper Peptides

Is There Hope In A Bottle? Can Copper Peptides Promote Better Skin?

Dr. Loren Pickart strongly believes so. His special line of skin and hair products don’t come wrapped in fancy boxes with aggressive marketing campaigns. Instead, his line of Skin Biology products arrive with sensible packaging, smart scientific knowledge, and reasonable pricing.

Who is Dr. Pickart? A biochemist and a brilliant one at that. You could call him a beautiful skin pioneer because it was Pickart who discovered the role that remodeling copper peptides play in the repair of human skin and other tissues. This peptide is called, GHK-Copper. And it is being cited as a new weapon in the anti-aging arsenal.

“I have studied methods of reversing human aging for my entire career,” Dr. Pickart said. “It was from these studies, that the human GHK-Copper was found.”

And today because of his inventions and GHK-Copper, giant companies like Neutrogena, have products based on his discoveries. For instance, the Neutrogena Visibly Firm line of cosmetics, including their popular Night Cream and Eye Cream.

What Can Copper Peptides Do For Your Skin?

Without getting too technical here, because the subject of skin can be very complex, the skin remodeling copper peptides, or SRCP’s, can nicely improve skin density and firmness over time. Studies have shown a marked repairing in cases of laxity, clarity, fine lines, coarse wrinkles, and overall skin appearance. The copper peptides work below the skin’s surface.

When first using Dr. Pickart’s line of copper peptide products on their faces and necks, most people have noticed a healthy glow to the skin. The treatments are quite powerful, so a tiny few dabs or few drops are more than enough.

According to Dr. Pickart’s website— http://www.skinbiology.com, there is a 2-step program to rebuilding one’s skin. Think of it like this—out with the old and in with the new. In other words, an exfoliant(mild hydroxy acids) is applied to the skin in the morning. What the exfoliant does is slough off the old skin cells. The copper peptide is then used in the evening, working its magic to encourage the production of new, healthy skin cells. That's it---just 2 beauty items needed.

How Long Does It Take To See Results ?

Everyone’s skin is different. And although Skin Biology’s copper peptides and exfoliants are strong treatments and work naturally and safely, patience is required. Yes, patience is a virtue, in the skin remodeling business. Results will occur, but when?

“At least six months,” Pickart said.. “We have some women, mainly in their 50's, who have used our products for five years now, and say their skin is great. Going slow is better, but no woman ever believes that.”

Skin Biology, Inc. is one biotech research company that is on the cutting edge. Trying to reverse aging is one tough mission, but Dr. Loren Pickart has surely put some hope in a bottle. Visit: www.skinbiology.com.

Amatokin: A Real Stem Cell Youth Cream

Amatokin is the name of an anti-aging skin cream that has been out on the market for more than a year now. It was developed by Russian scientists in a secluded and security-guarded laboratory. The beauty emulsion is based on 15 years of research. And it is made up of stem-cell activating properties. The cream was originally designed to help burn victims with seriously damaged skin. And results have been impressive. And sales are still brisk.

At $173 for a single month’s supply, or one fluid ounce, Amatokin better do something splendid for your skin. By the way, Amatokin is pronounced, ‘Am-a-TOKE-in.’

Voss Laboratories, licensed distributors of Amatokin, boast that this beauty emulsion is “unquestionably, the most profound advancement in the skin care sciences in more than three decades.”

The super ingredient in Amatokin appears to be polypeptide #153, or, a 153-amino acid peptide chain. In simplest terms, the Amatokin wrinkle cream wakes up or stimulates your own resting or dormant adult stem cells, to spring into action and begin repairing skin.

The product claims that long term use “will result in a generation of new skin cells, firmer skin with a 45 percent reduction in wrinkles, and increased long term skin clarity.” And more importantly, states that Amatokin, “effectively resets your skin’s ‘aging clock’ by a minimum of five years.”

Amatokin comes in a pump bottle, which is very handy. It resembles a white cream of medium consistency. It’s highly concentrated, so only a pea-sized amount is advised for the entire face.

Pea-sized? That’s actually a tiny amount, and some women have complained that Amatokin’s texture also makes it difficult to rub or absorb into the skin.

Amatokin is wonderful for both women and men, and on all colors and types of complexions.

Within a couple of weeks, many women have reported a luminosity and clearness to the skin, as well as a softening of fine wrinkles.

Is Amatokin the ‘face of the future?’ Or the ‘promise of youth?’ Only time will tell.

Emu Oil For Softer Younger Skin

If there's one word you need to remember, it's this one. Emu. Emu oil could someday hold the key to eternal youth. But for the time being, it can improve the skin you're in because this oil is an excellent emollient with strong transdermal properties. In other words, it can nicely penetrate the skin's layers. It doesn't just sit on the surface like many expensive moisturizers do.

Emu oil comes from the emu, a large flightless, ostrich-like bird. Maybe not the prettiest animal on the block. But Australian aborigines were said to have discovered the benefits of extracting this oil thousands of years ago. And what researchers have come to learn is that there is something in the oil that is compatible to human skin.

Leigh Hopkins, PhD. explained it in this manner. "The fatty acid composition of emu oil is very close to the correct composition of the fats as found in normal, human skin."

Above all, emu oil can make your skin softer and glowing. It is also anti-inflammatory, won't clog pores, and is odorless. Over time, studies have found that emu oil can plump up your skin and help diminish wrinkles and age spots. It has also been proven to be very effective on first and second degree burns and radiation burns. It takes away the pain, and scarring and blistering are greatly reduced. And wounds heal alot faster with emu oil.

First, you need to purchase 100% pure, certified emu oil. Although, it feels greasy and thick, it rubs in smoothly. Just massage a few drops into the desired area. It absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy feeling. You can also blot with a tissue to remove any trace of oil. Remember, you don't need gobs of emu. A little goes a long way.

For facial skincare, use emu oil as a moisturizer after cleansing. Just smooth a few drops over the entire face and neck. And emu oil can be added as a top layer to skin re-building products like copper peptides and glycolic acid. By using emu oil as the very last layer on your skin, this aids in the absorption of other topically applied products. Thus, the emu oil must always goes on last.

Most internet sites sell 100% pure, certified emu oil for about $10-$15 for a 2 oz. bottle.
