Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 There certainly is a way, I have a few customers that I make a very special brew using Matrixyl, Hyaluronic acid, Galactoarabinanin, DMAE, GABA, Alpha Lipoic acid in a water base. I have been testing it on myself for a couple of months and it sure has made a huge difference. I am 47 and for a guy who has only ever used soap and water my face was a very ordinary canvas to test this on. It has taken off at least 6 to 10 years according to some people I know.I think that the trick is to get very small particle sizes and this is where Galactoarabinan comes in. You can find most ingredients on Ebay in small quantity except for Galacto, that comes from Lonza in Sweden. I have done a large amount of study and R & D in this field. If you require the exact formulation I can write it up and post it. > > I have been using Olay skin products for years,is their a natural way > to give your skin the elasticity without spending a small fortune? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I have been dotting around my eyes with a little jojoba oil every night before bed. I have a history of dry (and sometimes scaly) skin on my eyelids. After I dot it on, I blot a bit off (it can clog your tearducts). I have had absolutely NO problems with dryness AND a bonus is that my crowsfeet (yep, they're creeping up on me) seem to have diminished a bit. You may try this. I find it cheaper than the commercial stuff because I only use 2 drops from an eye dropper in the palm of my hand each night. I rub the excess from the palm of my hand onto my lips, or elbows because I'm a bit stingy and hate to waste anything.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Jojoba Oil is very good but there are a lot of other oils that have great value in skin care, the best is Emu Oil as it has the best penetrating power of all known oil. It is available in The US and Australia from small private Emu farms. To have the best face care you need a 2 step approach, one is fully water soluble and the other is emulsified oil and oil soluble actives. Ok Here is the Ingredients list and Suppliers, Matrixyl and Matrixyl 3000 are from the French company Sederma. Hyaluronic Acid is best obtained from purebulk.com Arabinogalactan is from Lonza GABA, DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid from DNAshopper on Ebay (Their products are certified and they post Worldwide) Q10 or better is Idebenone is from Ebay Brainfoods2007 (their Idebenone is certified pure) Water Based Serum. Mix 5 Grams Hyaluronic Acid to 100 ml Water. Mix 10 Grams Galacto to 100ml Water. Mix 1.5 Grams DMAE to 10 Grams water Mix 1 Gram GABA to 10 Grams water. Let every water mix stand for an hour or two, especially Hyaluronic acid so that it id dissolves completely. Mix all the ingredients togeter and add 3% each of Matrixyl and Matrixyl 3000. You will need to add a broad spectrum preservative and anti bacterial agent. I use 1% Methyl and Butyl Parabens. Its good enough for Estee Lauder its good enough for me. Some people Eek at using Parabens but I tell you it is used in such a low concentration its not going to harm you. You could also use a natural based system but they will not work as well as Parabens. Now we come to the oil part, this is not critical as you can use any oil you want or as I do make a blend of equal parts of Apricot,Walnut,RiceBran,Macadamia,Sweet almond and Jojoba. Another good oil is Olive oil. Measure out 100ml of oil and add 0.5Gram Idebenone or Q10, 0.5% of Alpha Lipoic Acid and either a couple of drops of Sandalwood and or insence Essential oil. Shake this up and it may take up to 2 days for the Q10 orv Idenenone to fully dissolve. Use the water based Serum first and let it soak in, then after a while use a small amount of the Oil and let it do its work. Now you can combine both the oil and water by using an emulsifying wax and the easiest to use is called Wax NF. Use it by adding around 8-12% to the oil and heat until it reaches 75 celsius, heat the water based serum to the same temp and mix it with a stick blender. When it cools to below 40 celsius add the preservative (Parabens)or other anti bacterial and anti fungal as needed. This will make a good face cream that has all the benefits in one application. I find that using the Water base and Oil base at diffent times works far better. From my research it is OK to heat all of the ingredients to 75 celsius for up to 10 minutes, it may be better to heat only the oil to 75C and add the Alpha and Idebenone at 30C as to not heat stress these actives. Another point is that it is very hard to emulsify Hyaluronic acid and water with oil, it can separate if you are not careful. It is maybe better to use the water based ingredients as a serum and just emulsify the oil mixture into a face cream that you can use at night. The presevative I use goes by the trade name of Phenoserve (parabens) There is another natural one called PlantaserveQ (Plant Based) I hope that makes some sense as I am typing this at 1:40 AM..lol Regards, > > > > I have been using Olay skin products for years,is their a natural way > > to give your skin the elasticity without spending a small fortune? > > > > > > > > > > **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?
