For all this is that our skin care is very important and for that keep the skin well hydrated is essential. Here the water is key, and drink water every day is one of the best techniques to keep our skin well hydrated.

This will detail some tips for hydration of our skin:

You mix two tablespoons of water and honey, placing well in a small fire, then adds 125 centimeters of milk and an egg yolk. Stir until a smooth paste is achieved. This mixture is applied to the skin has cooled, leaving it on for 20 minutes.

Another alternative is to boil a lettuce leaf, to select the extract and with the help of a cotton passing over the skin.

There are also teas to our skin care based balm, carrot and chamomile. After boiling, strain and add what you need three tablespoons of honey and apply on the skin.

Another option is to mix homemade mask yogurt with two tablespoons of lemon oil and three. After mixing is applied to our skin in circular motions. The effect on the dermis that produces yogurt is kept clean and absorbs the beneficial properties of sunflower and lemon balances the PH of the skin.

We encourage you to take care in this new stage!

Stem cells are those that have the ability to self-renew or continue the differentiation pathway for which are scheduled and, therefore, produce one or more cells in mature tissues, functional and fully differentiated.

From the discoveries made on the characteristics of stem cells, cosmetic science has studied its applications to products for skin care.

Aging causes a decrease in the number of stem cells. In addition, deteriorating environmental quality of these cells limits their regenerative potential. Also, UV radiation and other environmental stressors or negative affect intrinsic vitality and activity of these cells. In the skin, this is manifested as loss of firmness, elasticity and freshness.

The skin stem cells possess the ability to differentiate itself from other cell types in the same tissue. However, going through many cell division cycles and maintaining the undifferentiated state. Its primary functions are to replace senescent cells and regenerate damaged tissue, ie replace aged and damaged cells.

Plant stem cells protect the environment of the germ cells and optimize its potential for renewal. Are unspecialized cells whose sole purpose is reproduction.

Unlike humans and animals, adult plants contain totipotent stem cells. This means that each cell acts as biomimetics, integrating and adapting to the cells of each organ, and restructuring in full each. Therefore, it is able to regenerate new organs: leaves, roots and even the entire plant.

Recent studies on plant stem cells show that these beneficial effects on skin stem cells, among which we mention:

Stimulate cellular metabolism and compensate for changes caused by aging, UV, pollution, stress, etc.

Have regenerative properties that are able to keep the skin younger longer.

Conserve and protect the vitality of skin stem cells.

Contain epigenetic factors that regulate gene activity and function of skin stem cells.

All of this transforms the plant stem cell products in powerful rejuvenating the skin.

The sun, although it is good for the body, can also be detrimental to what type of skin as it is something you need to know before you can get in the sun.

So if you have a very white skin is normal as you have to use a high protection factor and prevent dry skin and the effects of the sun on it before thinking about tanning.

If you have a medium skin, i.e., it has color but not to say that is tan or white, then you lose some level of protection and you can take the sun for twice as long than if you had white skin (they can take a maximum of 15-20 minutes), so 40 minutes is more than enough.

Finally, if you have dark skin, without being tanned, the level of protection that we recommend is the same as a medium skin (and scroll down). The maximum exposure to the sun will be 60 minutes long, it is the skin, nourishing (water, food, etc…).

Several studies have shown that there is at least 7 foods that not only prevent our health but also rejuvenate and beautify our body through the internal properties available.

So we can talk about the berries, blueberries, currants, raspberries … they are a fruit with antioxidant properties which dramatically slow the aging of the skin, and enhance our memory. These can also be combined with vegetables or green leaves from a lettuce to spinach, we also have a large supply of antioxidants, but most fiber, ideal for our body is properly regulated.

The vegetables we can add other foods also help to keep us beautiful and healthy, I can think of a salad with golden vegetable like carrots, some nuts or grains of corn entrer, these three guests each bring different benefits, vegetables are golden powerhouse of vitamin A needed for our skin and contain antioxidants that slow aging. The nuts and grains also provide vitamins Trainings type E, omega 3 and vitamin B6 which allows us to stalk diseases is mitigated.

Salmon is the king of the blues catch of fish contains omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D and B12, is an ideal food for our hearts that something is healthy and strong is necessary to make physical and daily activities. Finally a good dessert would be a yogurt; this brings benefits to our immune system, our intestinal flora and our skeletal system.

Obviously we do not think than the fact of including more of these foods to our diet, we become Jovens and beautiful models … just making a healthy diet with some of these foods and some exercise, keep your body in perfect condition.

Who do you face?

Dust and pollution: They accumulate on your face and can ally with the bacteria that cause acne and create the appearance of the terrible mud.

Your fingers touching your face frequently (consciously or unconsciously) makes spreading bacteria that cause pores to become inflamed and irritated.

Makeup: Yes, it helps to hide imperfections during the day, but it can block pores if you do not leave before sleep.

Do you see why the importance of washing your face, especially before bed? And of course, to make sure you actually eliminate any dirt and excess fat, you do it with a suitable cleaning product.

The results of their research, published in the journals Science and Cell, marking a milestone, since this leads to the discovery of a technique for obtaining cells “pluripotent”, without the use of human embryos.

Stem cells that can generate the 220 cell types that form the different tissues of the body, were obtained so far from the creation of human embryos or cloning.

This procedure, which involved the destruction of embryos, sparked controversy for years a strong moral.

Now, after the discovery team led by Junying Yu of China and American James Thomson, the source of stem cells is substantially increased, and above all, beyond the ethical stumbling block.

After 12 days in the laboratory, and induced heart cells beat like the heart.
Yu equipment and Thomson developed his research in Japan and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Used a chemical cocktail of four proteins that control genes in order to alter an adult human fibroblasts. Epidermal fibroblasts are easy to obtain and grow.

Although not behave exactly the same, since they are similar and not identical, modified fibroblasts acquired the qualities “pluripotent” embryonic stem cells.

Generated, for example, brain and heart tissue.
After 12 days stored in the laboratory, cardiac cell clusters had developed enough to start beating.
“Overcoming cloning?
The use of skin cells will mean more personalized treatments, and this will reduce the risk of tissue rejection.

The finding, from mouse cells, is considered a revolution in the field.
The new technique not only obviates the creation and destruction of embryos, it is also much simpler and easier to control than current cloning techniques.

Ian Wilmut, Professor at the University of Edinburgh who led the experiments that led to the creation of Dolly the sheep ten years ago, said the finding represents a major breakthrough.

2. The average adult human skin has an area of 2 square meters, weighs between 4-5 pounds and contains more than 17.7 meters of blood vessels (mainly due to the complex and fine network of capillaries).

3. The skin may become released 11 gallons of sweat on a hot day. Sudan areas are not the skin under the nails, the margins of the lips, the foreskin. (In the original article put it well the eardrum … but do not know why they put it if not part of the skin, at least not with the normal structure of this …)

4. Ah, that smells: Body odor comes from special glands, sebaceous secretion, called apocrine glands. They are mostly found in the armpits and genital area.

5. The smell is produced when bacteria from the skin secretions eat and digest fats.

6. Breasts are a modified form of apocrine gland.

7. Fetuses do not develop fully the fingerprints until three months of pregnancy. Everyone has fingerprints unique, even twins have the same fingerprints.

8. Without a trace: Some people never develop fingerprints. 2 rare genetic disorders, known as Naegeli syndrome and dermatopathy pigmentosa reticular is, make those who own them fail to develop ridges and furrows in the skin, forming a picture of the fingerprint.

9. Fingerprints increase friction and help grip objects. Some monkeys have similar fingerprints in the bottom of the queue, to improve grip in the swing from branch to branch.

10. Release the wind: Globally, dead skin of all people would generate billions of tons of dust into the atmosphere. His skin releases 50,000 cells every minute.

11. There are five types of receptors that respond to pain, touch, pressure and wind chill.

12. An experiment found that Meissner corpuscles (touch receptors found in abundance in the hands, lips, tongue, nipples, penis and clitoris) respond to the pressure exerted by a weight of only 20 milligrams, the weight of a fly.

13. In the blind, the visual cortex of the brain reorganizes in response to stimuli received through touch and sound in order to associate them with a mental visual image.

14. Light skin appeared only 20000-50000 years ago. When dark-skinned humans migrated to colder climates and were wasting a large amount of melanin.

15. I see someone very, very white: Albinos are often used in movies as villains. As in the Da Vinci Code, Die Another Day, Matrix Reloaded … It has been suggested that this is because people often associate with the pallor of albino vampires and other mythological creatures of the night.

16. More than 2,000 people have radio frequency identification chips (RFID) inserted under the skin. These chips can provide medical information, access to computers or opening the car door.

17. Cleveland Public Library, the Harvard Law School and Brown University have books lined with skin from executed criminals and the poor.

Wear a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15, even if it’s cloudy or you do not plan on spending much time outdoors. If you get wet, for example when you go swimming in the sea or an outdoor pool, repeat the application of sunscreen (even if it is resistant to water) every 2 or 3 hours.

Choose a sunscreen that retains both UVA and UVB rays. Search terms such as “broad spectrum protection” or UVA protection than an SPF or IP 15 or higher. Choose a sunscreen that is “not acnegenic” or “non-comedogenic” to help keep clean the pores of the skin.

The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 am and 4 pm, so that, during those hours, reapply the sunscreen frequently and, if possible, protects you the sun. If your shadow is longer than your height, will be safer in the sun (anyway, then you should also wear sunscreen).

Use more sunscreen (with higher SPF) when you are near reflective surfaces like water, snow or ice.

We all know that the sun can cause skin lesions, but did you know that can also cause eye problems? Protect your face and eyes with a hat with a visor or hat, and wear sunglasses that provide 100% UV protection.

Some medications, such as drugs that are prescribed for acne and anovulatory (birth control pills) can increase sensitivity to the sun, or, if you are under treatment with any of these drugs, increase your sun protection.

If you like to be tan, try faking it with self-tanning tanning or beauty treatments. Anyway, Avoid tanning UVA rays, because, although the manufacturers of the devices that ensure that no project radiating UVB, UVA rays are also harmful.

Switching between extreme temperatures completely dry skin and removes its natural moisture, leaving it dry, dull and flaky. Provides the best possible care for your skin to face the problem from within, with nutrition and hydration, and outside, with products for skin care.

Vitamins and minerals are very important for the renewal of skin cells and maintain your health:

Vitamin A has a protective effect in abundance antioxidant. Come brightly colored fruits and vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes and red peppers.

Vitamin B promotes healthy skin. It is found in many foods, including seeds, nuts, vegetables, dairy products, eggs, leafy vegetables and liver.

Vitamin C is essential for skin repair and is known as the “glue that holds the skin together.” Take lots of fruits and vegetables.

Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection found in avocados, in all the cereals, vegetable oils, nuts and almonds.

Selenium works with vitamin C and E help keep skin strong and healthy, the best sources are Brazil nuts, molasses, clams, cashew nuts, liver, mushrooms and chicken.

Zinc is also essential for growth and repair, promoting a clearer complexion. It is found in sardines, seafood, beef, cheese, nuts, eggs, poultry and whole grains.

Drink plenty of fluids to keep your skin well hydrated – six to eight glasses a day. The Thermojetics ® Herbal Concentrate helps you increase your fluid intake and is a tasty alternative to water.
