As Shirley McClaine says in Postcards from the Edge “
I don’t mind getting old, I do mind looking old.” If science could find a way
to stop the aging process, at least the in the epidermis layer (i.e. esthetic
skin layer) I would be all for it! Thankfully we are living in a highly
technical age where we are beyond moisturizing creams .
In my early twenties, I worked for a biotech company while
they played with programmed cell death- or apoptosis. Our genetics are programmed when to start
shutting down. What could happen if we could simply- “reprogram” our genes to
stop aging? I do feel science is getting close to finding these answers because
of progress in cancer treatments and with nanotechnology.
So what does this newfound research mean for us frugal gals
looking for real answers that are also effective? Scientific articles in the Life Extension field have shown that plant stem
cells as well as topical DNA technology are effective in anti-aging.
Let’s discuss the effects of using plant stem cells as a topical
treatment.
Miebelle Bio Chemistry in Switzerland discovered the use of a rare Swiss
apple known for its ability to stay fresh for an extended period of time. Most
of us know about stem cell research in the news- mostly from embryonic sources.
Scientist wanted to know if plant stem cells would “show” animal cells how to
not age, and help the new cells keep their longevity. Through research,
it showed that there were some positive results. They measured line depth of
the face in20 subjects over 28 days. All
confirmed shallower line depth and each cell sample proved to be more effective
in “rejuvenating” itself.
Are there any side effects? None so far, like any new
technology long term effects are not documented yet.
I have been using Apple Stem Cell with 35% active for about
a year now, three drops in my emu oil “medley” morning and night. I also put it
directly on my face after a chemical peel to get it right to the new layer of
skin asap. I have done a lot of research
on the best product of apple stem cell and so far the product with the highest
percent of active is… you guessed it, Platinumskincare.com at 35%. I’ve used
Life Extension ($28.00)and other healthcare brands, as well as cream that cost
about 130.00, and none of them disclose
the amount of active in their formula. This
product for me is a little pricey- 42.95 but it seems to last me about 4
months. I notice that before I used it my laugh lines
would return about 10 days after a peel, now with the stem cell it is about 35
days for the lines to return.
Try it and let me know what you think!
Happy Face Saving!
