Anti-aging pursuits date back in recorded history to ancient Egypt, where attention was given to the herbs and remedies, such as olive leaf, to promote beauty and longevity. Throughout the centuries, most cultures have developed a long tradition of herbs, foods, diets, and healthy practices to pursue anti-aging. Only recently, through the confluence of intelligent application of technology and traditional wisdom, has anti-aging skin care advanced to new levels of productivity and customization, using the best available vitamins and anti-oxidants for your skin. To get the most out your anti-aging skin care, the products you use in your daily skin care regimen should reflect your specific skin type. Here are five general skin type descriptions to help you determine your skin type and what types of products you should consider. In addition to the products listed, all skin types should use a daily sunscreen. Elta MD Shield SPF 45 is a great one that is suitable for any skin type.

Normal skin types do not feel dry or oily. Pores are visible, but not large or clogged. After washing, normal skin feels smooth and comfortable and still looks fresh and clean several hours later. For normal skin, start with a gentle foaming facial wash, such as SkinMedica Facial Cleanser. Massaging it into the skin will give you a rosy complexion. Use a refreshing toner such as SkinMedica Rejuvenative Toner to cool skin and finish with a dot of moisturizer (with SPF if you plan to be outdoors at all) such as SkinMedica TNS Ultimate Daily Moisturizer SPF 20 or RevaleSkin Day Cream, massaging it in with light up-strokes.

Dry skin types have a thin and papery texture that is dry to the touch. Pores are very fine and not visible. After washing, the skin feels tight, and you feel like you are too small for your skin. By noon, flaky patches appear. A creamy cleanser that clears away all the impurities, such as RevaleSkin Facial Cleanser, is ideal for dry skin. Follow up with cold water to clean and refresh the skin. Finish with a thick cream moisturizer such as SkinMedica Dermal Repair or iS Clinical Moisturizing Complex to seal in as much moisture as you can.

Oily skin always feels greasy, with a thick and coarse texture. The pores are very large and very visible. Although oily skin feels great after a wash, it will still be shiny at noon and often prone to acne breakouts. You should start with a facial wash such as Caliderma Pumice Cleanser. This cleanser, ideal for oily or acne-prone skin, combines Benzoyl Peroxide with light granules that gently cleanse the pores and removes dead skin cells. Follow cleansing with a toner to stabilize pH balance, such as SkinMedica Acne Toner. Apply a small amount of light moisturizer (Caliderma Acne Treatment Lotion or SkinMedica Ultra Sheer Moisturizer), using a tissue to absorb any excess moisture to prevent a shiny, oily look.

Combination skin is very similar to normal skin, but with a few dry and oily patches. Dryness usually occurs on the cheeks, while the oiliness occurs on the T-zone. After washing, dry and smooth areas will be inconsistently found throughout your skin. Most women have combination skin. If you have combination skin, use a foaming facial wash such as Caliderma Gentle Cleanser in the mornings to cleanse, this will help to prevent blackheads. In the evening use a cream cleanser such as iS Clinical Cleansing Complex to soothe the dry areas and balance between the dry and oily areas.

The last skin type is sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is very irritable and reacts with itching, burning and chafing. After washing it will feel dry and itchy, and by midday will have flaky patches and redness. If you have sensitive skin, use a very mild, light, hypoallergenic cleanser for your skin such as Caliderma Gentle Cleanser or RevaleSkin Facial Cleanser. Use a moisturizer such as Caliderma Replenishing Cream to strengthen and protect the skin. Do not use any products that are perfumed, these are a main antagonist of your irritation.

The future of beautiful skin is here. Advanced technology and traditional wisdom has allowed skin care products to evolve to new levels of productivity and customization. It is important for you to know what your skin type is before you invest in advanced skin care products. iDerma offers scientifically advanced anti-aging skin care products for any skin type. iDermas goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to select the items that fits your needs.

Ethos Endymion Ethos Endymion (99.9% Pure L-Carnosine) The Fountain of Youth!

By Legrande

L-Carnosine is the most effective anti-carbonylation agent yet discovered. (Carbonylation is a pathological step in the age-related degradation of the body’s proteins.) Carnosine helps to prevent skin collagen cross-linking which leads to loss of elasticity and wrinkles.

It also acts as a regulator of zinc and copper concentrations in nerve cells, helping to prevent overs timulation by these neuroactive minerals. What is known about the biological role of Carnosine in the body substantiates all of the above and other studies have indicated further benefits.

L-Carnosine is a Super AntiOxidant that quenches even the most destructive free radicals: the hydroxyl and peroxyl radicals, superoxide, and singlet oxygen. Carnosine helps to chelate ionic metals (flush toxins from the body).

Ethos Endymion is the purest form of L-Carnosine available anywhere. It is made up of a combination of the two amino acids Beta-Alanine and L-Histidine and is known scientifically as N-beta-alanyl-histidine.

When taken as a natural health supplement Endymion protects and extends the functional life of the body’s key building blocks - cells, proteins, DNA and lipids.

Long-lived cells such as nerve cells, called neurons, and muscle cells, called myocytes, naturally contain high levels of L-Carnosine and these muscle levels of L-Carnosine correlate exactly with maximum life spans.

Endymion is 100% safe and 100% hypoallergenic - it is naturally occurring in many foods and in the body itself.

Studies on the rejuvenating effects of L-Carnosine have shown:

Antioxidant: Carnosine effectively quenches the most destructive of free radicals, the hydroxyl radical, as well as superoxide, singlet oxygen, and the peroxyl radical.

Cell Rejuvenation: Carnosine has the remarkable ability to actually rejuvenate cells approaching senescence (the end of the life cycle of dividing cells), restoring normal appearance and extending their cellular lifespan.

Wound Healing: Carnosine has the amazing ability to rejuvenate connective tissue cells and thus to expedite wound healing.

Brain Protection: Carnosine protects the microvas culature of the brain from plaque formation that may lead to senility and Alzheimer’s disease.

Improved Calcium Response: Carnosine enables the heart muscle to contract more efficiently through enhancement of calcium response in heart myocytes.

Cellular DNA Protection: Carnosine protects cellular DNA from oxidative damage that accumulates with age.

Skin Protection: Carnosine helps prevent skin collagen cross-linking which leads to loss of elasticity, wrinkles, macro-molecular disorganisation, and loss of extra cellular matrix.

For best results:

The recommended daily intake of Ethos Endymion is 1 gram per day. We suggest taking 1/2g in the mornings and 1/2g in the evenings, preferably at least 30 minutes before meals. Alternatively, 1 gram can be added to a bottle of mineral water and sipped regularly throughout the day.

a gram = 1 packed, level 1ml measuring spoon

Easy to take:

It is tasteless, colourless and odourless when mixed in mineral water or fresh fruit juice so you don’t even know you are taking it … until you begin to see the results!

Start Rejuvenating your body for less than 1 a day…
