Antioxidants on Steroids

June 3rd, 2009

Actually, steroids have nothing to do with it.

The antioxidants I’m talking about are similar to the antioxidants you might find in something like a pomegranate or a cup of green tea except they are 10-15 times as potent.

I just recently started looking into antioxidant boosters on SkinStore.com and was surprised to find that liquid antioxidant boosters are really not that expensive or a big deal to drink. All that’s required is one dropper full in a glass of water or juice every day.

My favorite is the Dr Brandt Antioxidant Water Booster Blueberry. After two weeks I have more energy, but I am still patiently waiting for my melasma to improve, but then again we know how that goes.

Seems that a lot of things help my melasma a little and very few things help a lot.

Either way, I don’t think you can go wrong with an antioxidant booster. In addition to protecting your skin from the elements, antioxidants strengthen your immune system and help prevent awful diseases like cancer.

Are you wondering why I just don’t take a multi-vitamin like every one else? Well, I do that too. However, lately I’ve been turning to liquid vitamins for just about everything because your body absorbs liquid vitamins better. There aren’t all those fillers getting in the way.

Yeah, liquid vitamins are a bit more expensive, but I think its worth the cost. I mean, it is my beauty we’re talking about here.

Topical caffeine may be a life saver

May 19th, 2009

Recent studies have proven that applying caffeine to the skin topically has amazing results in preventing cancer.

By no means does the caffeine act as a sunblock, but it does act to eliminate  abnormal cells. According to an article in USA Today, the abnormal cells effectively “kill themselves.” Or at least they did in mice.

For years now, rosacea sufferers have found relief in products with caffeine because the ingredient constricts blood vessels and therefore lessens redness.  The same can be said for puffy, red eyes. A great way to lose the puff is with a splash of cold water and an eye cream containing caffeine. Murad EssentialC Eye Cream SPF 15 is Skin Fitness Facts’ favorite.

One last thing, consuming caffeine may also have some skin fitness benefits, but it’s the topical products that offer the biggest bang.
