Did you realize that Japanese women have some of the best skin in the world? What are the Japanese skin care secrets that they know and you don’t?

Did you know that? That Japanese women have wonderful healthy looking skin right into old age? What secret do Japanese women have that allows them to have such great looking skin?

The first thing to say about those Japanese skin care secrets is that if you’re looking to try and find the best Japanese skin care products online because you think the secret is that the Japanese make the best skin care products then you’re mistaken.

It’s way more simple than that. You see it’s all about what women in Japan eat. It’s not about their skin care products at all.

What could Japanese women eat that makes their skin so good? It’s seaweed. Yes, that’s the secret, eating seaweed.

You see the Japanese eat a seaweed called Phytessence Wakame. They eat it fresh and dried, and it has been a part of the mainstream Japanese diet for centuries. And it has recently been discovered that it has extraordinary properties that make it a perfect ingredient for great skin health.

Although science is now finding out why Phytessence Wakame is so good for the skin it has been highly prized for a long time for this reason. Japanese women knew it was good for their skin.

Why is Phytessence Wakame so good for the skin? It’s a combination of factors, not just one thing. Firstly it is packed with all sorts of vitamins and minerals well known to be healthy to the skin, many of the B grouup  vitamins for example.

And calcium, having 15 times the calcium of milk. Calcium is very good for the skin. And it’s packed with antioxidants as well.

But there’s more, and this is where Phytessence Wakame really benefits your skin. It gets a little complicated but bear with us.

There is an acid called hyaluronic acid in your skin. And your skin really needs plenty of hyaluronic acid, it keeps your skin smooth and elastic and well toned. All of these of course help keep wrinkles and skin sagging at bay, and keep your skin looking good.

And there is an enzyme in the skin called hyaluronidase that breaks down the hyaluronic acid. And as hyaluronic acid is so good for skin health you don’t want it broken down.

Here’s the secret. Phytessence Wakame helps inhibit the actions of hyaluronidase. So it protects your skin supplies of hyaluronic acid, so it helps maintain the suppleness and elasticity of your skin. That’s the big Japanese skin care secret.

There’s even more, the ingredients in Phytessence Wakame also help protect your skin against some sun damage and air pollution damage.

See why Japanese women prize it so highly for it’s skin health properties? They didn’t know the science, but they did know how good it was for their skin. It is cultivated extensively in Japan.

So do you need to buy Japanese skin care products to find good skin products that contain Phytessence Wakame? Or maybe you should just eat seaweed each day?

No to both, because there is one very small niche skin care company that makes fine quality natural skin care products that contain Phytessence Wakame.

And you can try their products risk free, because they offer a full money back guarantee. Because they’re small and can’t advertise on TV you won’t have heard of them, so decided to offer a money back guarantee.

Because they know that once you try their natural skin care products, with Phytessence Wakame, you’ll come back for more. Read the rest of this entry

You’ve got dry skin, you understand the reasons and you’re looking for the best dry skin lotion you can find.

Yesterday we talked about dry skin causes. About why you might have some problems with dry skin, and some common things you can do to combat your dry skin, like changing your soap and shampoo, and more.

And we alerted you to the fact that many big name skin care and anti aging products actually damage, and dry, your skin.

In that article we recommended that you find and use the best quality natural skin care products, like the best dry skin lotion you can get.

In fact rather than searching for the best dry skin lotion or dry skin cream, we are suggesting that you use a product that is not directly targeted to dry skin treatment, but to overall skin health and overall skin care.

Lets have a look at why these natural skin care products could in fact be the  best dry skin lotion for you.

Firstly, the ingredients in the best natural skin care products do not do your skin any harm. That’s vitally important. It should go without saying that a skin care regime shouldn’t harm your skin, sadly many do, read some articles about dangerous ingredients in skin care products on this site for more details about this if it is new to you.

Secondly, there are some excellent naturally occurring ingredients that work extremely well to combat dry skin, and at the same time promote overall skin health. They have been used by some women for generations to complement their skin health and still work very well. Unfortunately the big brands don’t use them because chemical ingredients are usually much cheaper.

Here’s 3 ingredients that make one product in particular the worlds best natural skin care product and best dry skin lotion all at the same time.

1. Phytessence Wakame.

What is Phytessence Wakame? It is a Japanese seaweed prized by Japanese women for centuries for the beneficial effects on the skin. It is eaten regularly in the Japanese diet.

Phytessence Wakame is packed with all sorts of vitamins and minerals known to be good for the skin. It has a wide range of beneficial effects, but in particular it helps heal dry skin and also heal skin irritation and inflammation. Both well known to women (and men) who suffer from dry skin.

2. Cynergy TK.

Cynergy TK is a patented ingredient found only in very few skin care products, it is very expensive. It is a form of keratin, an essential component of your skin, and is sourced from the wool of sheep. We won’t bore you with the complicated technical reasons why Cynergy TK is so good for your skin, but to say that for anyone with dry skin you absolutely must use a skin care product containing Cynergy TK.

What it does, in effect and amongst other things, is to form a thin protective and invisible layer on your skin that helps the skin retain moisture itself, and stops moisture loss. This ingredient alone will make a huge different to your dry skin problem.

3. Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10.

Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 is a variant on Coenzyme Q10, and a much more effective and refined version. Coenzyme Q10 is found in the cells of our bodies and diminishes with age, so we need to replace it, or our skin health declines. Now of course you’ve probably seen Coenzyme Q10 in many skin care products, the problem is that the form of Coenzyme Q10 used in these products doesn’t actively penetrate the skin, so does little.

Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 on the other hand, is what is called a “nano-emulsion” form, basically meaning, to cut through the jargon, that it penetrates the skin because of the exceptionally small size of it’s molecules. It helps reduce sagging and wrinkling of the skin quite dramatically, and contains 10% vitamin E, which is also very good for your skin.

And it nourishes the skin, helping maintain skin supplies of collagen and elastin, and it increases skin cell health, all important to maintaining skin moisture balance. And maintaining skin moisture balance is the best way of combatting dry skin.

Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 is very expensive.

There’s the 3 essential ingredients of the best dry skin lotion, or what is in effect the best natural skin care product available in the world today.

We also should point out one more thing. These products use the best ingredients that modern technology can source. They are very expensive.

So aren’t the products really expensive too? NO. And here’s why. It’s all about company philosophy and marketing.

You see the big name skin care and anti aging brands spend huge amounts on marketing, particularly TV advertising. Those TV ads with megastars cost big dollars, and all that goes into the cost of the products. They spend as little as they can on product quality (hence the cheap chemical ingredients), and spend the maximum on marketing.

Xtend Life which makes the products that we consider to be the best natural skin care and dry skin products available in the world today spend their budget on product quality, and don’t advertise. So you’ve probably never heard of them.

For this reason they offer a full money back guarantee on their products, so you can try them risk free, as you’ve never heard of the company. That’s how they market their products and once they have a new customer they have one for life.

So no, their products aren’t really expensive at all, in fact they are very competitively priced. Read the rest of this entry
