Home facials - Anti-aging secrets

At Home facials has been looking at inexpensive natural remedies.

There is a tremendous amount of hyperbole surrounding anti-aging products, many are highly effective, some less valuable and it is not always easy to cut the wheat from the chaff.

Among the myriad of e-books on the subject of natural home remedies, there is even less of real value, so I was pleased to have come across an e-book, which adds some real value and is designed to reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while not being expensive.

Divided into 10 chapters, the e-book covers

Eating

Traditional remedies and treatments

Cleansers

Exfoliators

Toners

Masks

Serums

and much more, with the aim of providing highly effective home prepared recipes, using the best available natural products.

Definitely worth taking a look at this e-book, for more information, Click here

Home facials - Collagen, what is it?


The term collagen crops up continually in conversations about anti-ageing products, but how does it relate to home facials and what is it?

Collagen, is a protein, which operates as a key component of connective tissues, it plays an important role in the resistance and consistency of the inner layer of the skin. As a result it critical to the strength, elasticity, and texture of the skin.

As we age, collagen production decreases (typically after the age of 25) resulting in the connective tissue of our skin is weakening: the skin collapses and wrinkles are created.

Collagens enriched lotions and creams help hydrate and moisturize the the outer layer of the skin and helps stimulate natural collagen production.

Collagen enriched skin care products help retain the water , maintaining the outer layer of the skins normal hydration, helping the skin to appear revitalized with reduced fine lines and wrinkles.

It is something that can be used as part of an every day home facial routine

A great product is Elemis Pro-collagen Oxygenating night cream available from the beauty store
