Capsaicin - Anti Wrinkle Treatment

Capsaicin The Next New Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
A famous maker of hot sauce accidentally splashed around his eyes and forehead and could only think of the discomfort from the peppers. He was later suprise of the marked improvement to his skin's firmness and a reduction of lines, which led him to investigate further capsaicin. Capsaicin, the phytochemical that gives pepper their heat, has long been used in skin application for muscle and joint pain, but now stumbled upon another use as an anti-wrinkle treatment.
The anti-wrinkle cream is sold under the label Blairlabs. The Company took out the heat and preserved its healing properties.
One of the reason's behind the ingredients efficacy in capsaicin's ability to increase blood flow which not only improves circulation, but also causes the tissue to swell slightly which makes the wrinkled skin plumper and hides wrinkles. The company reports over 7,000 men and women using biocap xs twice a day reorder and referral rate of over 80%.

Diamond Ipod

We're trying to understand why someone would buy this diamond-spangled solid gold iPod shuffle, which wins the prize for gaudiest second-rate music player. This one even outdoes that 18-karat solid gold iPod shuffle we pointed out to you last month, with this one tipping the more-money-than-brains pricetag scale of $20,000 compared with that solid gold shuffle's $19,343 price.

Adding even more expense and tawdriness to the equation are diamond-encrusted headphones. Although it's hard to decipher the Scandinavian language in which this is described, it looks like there are 430 diamonds festooning this otherwise utilitarian and screenless digital audio player. The irony doesn't escape us; at least they could've waited for the new iPod nano, and gussied that up with diamonds. Oh, wait, someone's probably going to do that, too. [e24, via LuxuryLaunches]

August 22, 2007

Science Daily — In the timeless quest for healthier, younger looking skin, scientists from the University of Cincinnati and Tokyo Medical University have made an important discovery toward manipulating skin tone and color.

The implications of this research range from helping doctors develop more natural looking bioengineered skin grafts to helping cosmetics companies develop new products for achieving the "perfect" sunless tan. The research study, published in the September print issue of The FASEB Journal, shows for the first time how to manipulate skin color and tone using cells previously thought to play no significant role in this function.

Low Glycemic Load Diet May Help Fight Acne

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Avoiding high glycemic load foods could help acne sufferers clear up their skin, the results of a new small study suggest.

High glycemic load foods refer to foods that cause a sharp increase in blood glucose, or sugar, such as low-fiber carbohydrates. Low glycemic load foods cause an more gradual and sustained increase in glucose, and include foods such as high-fiber, complex carbohydrates.

After 12 weeks on a low glycemic load diet, men with acne had a significant reduction in pimples, whiteheads and other lesions compared with their peers who stuck to a conventional diet, Dr. Robyn N. Smith of RMIT University in Melbourne, Victoria and colleagues found. visit: http://www.venusandmarz.com/skin4.html for high-end skin care prodcts.

Is A Virus Making You Fat?

WASHINGTON — In the buffet of reasons for why Americans are getting fatter, researchers are piling more evidence on the plate for one still-controversial cause: a virus.

New research announced Monday found that when human stem cells — the blank slate of the cell world — were exposed to a common virus they turned into fat cells. They didn't just change, they stored fat, too.

While this may be a guilt-free explanation for putting on pounds, it doesn't explain all or even most of America's growing obesity problem. But it adds to other recent evidence that blames expanding waistlines on more than just super-sized appetites and underused muscles.

For several years, researchers have looked at a possible link between obesity and this common virus, called adenovirus-36, from a family of viruses that cause colds and pinkeye in people. They had already found that a higher percentage of fat people had been infected with the virus than nonfat people. They had exposed animals to the virus and got them to fatten up and even found a a gene in the virus that causes animals to get obese.

about their skin all the time?" Barnes asks. "That's because their skin has

Women really do prefer pink researchers say

clipped from uk.reuters.com Recent studies have suggested there is a universal preference for "blue," and there has not been much previous evidence to support the idea of sex differences when picking colors, said Anya Hurlbert, a neuroscientist at Newcastle University who led the study. Researchers said these differences may have a basis in evolution in which females developed a preference for reddish colors associated with riper fruit and healthier faces.

Of the many women who wish to alter the shape or size of their breasts, a lot will find the un natural shape of silicone or saline implants unattractive. Thankfully, it appears that breast enhancement research scientists have found a way in which women can in fact grow their own new breast tissue.

This new breast enhancement research indicates that, perhaps within 10 years, tissue grown from ones own stem cells may provide what could be considered as a viable alternative to surgery for breast enhancement.

In a complicated procedure discovered by Japanese researchers, a system was devised to develop stem cells into tissue similar to the fat tissue in breasts, by creating similar conditions to those that set off this process naturally in the body. Researchers then injected the fat tissue into mice, and noticed that after three to four weeks, tissue which was implanted had retained both its shape and size.

The Spectrum is a technologically innovative design that allows the surgeon to continue making adjustments to the breast after your breast augmentation operation. A small, removable fill tube is left temporarily attached to the breast implant after surgery. The tube is accessible to the physician by injection through the skin.

At this point, the fill tube is removed (again, in a routine office visit) and a self-sealing valve immediately closes and seals the breast implant. Link (via Futurismic)

Babyfaceness Hypothesis

On the left: image of the supermodel Kate Moss, on the right: example of a photographed 4-year-old girl that took part in our experiment regarding the "babyfaceness hypothesis". The face of Kate Moss clearly shows characteristic features of babyfaces, but at the same time it also includes mature female features like high, prominent cheek bones and concave cheeks which are accentuated evenly by using make-up. Cunningham (1986) claims that the presence of both characteristic features makes faces very attractive.

Research on facial attractiveness has pointed out that the presence of childlike facial features increases attractiveness. These are:

* Large head
* Large curved forehead
* Facial elements (eyes, nose, mouth) located relatively low
* Large, round eyes
* Small, short nose
* Round cheeks
* Small chin

Air Brush Makeup Hand Held Device

IMG ] Japanese electronics company Matsushita, which is owned by Panasonic, has applied for a US patent on an electronic device, which relies on ink-jet technology to spray specific amounts of color cosmetics on to the face. The company has named Procter & Gamble as a joint patent-holder on the patent application, suggesting that the technology has the potential for mainstream marketing through the world's largest consumer goods company. The hand held technology contains a removable cartridge with a reservoir that contains any amount or mixture of liquid cosmetics that can be 'printed' onto the face using a predetermining control for the exact amount and precise effect required. The housing consists of a motor, which drives an actuator operating a pump that sprays the makeup onto the face. "The device further includes a field electrode that surrounds the reservoir and is connected to the high voltage generator so that the entire liquid composition is given more or less a common electric potential," patent application 20070114305 reads, which was originally identified by the New Scientist magazine. The device is filled up at a reservoir that can be loaded with any type of liquid color cosmetic products, whether it be foundation or eyeshadow. The specific cosmetic can then be selected and loaded up into the device, ready to be printed on to the face. One of the biggest advantages of the technology is the fact that it offers a level of control for makeup application that is almost impossible to achieve when applying products by hand. As well as getting rid of the need for various applicators, such as brushes and powder the manufacturer claims it will help the makeup application process to be less messy and faster. Until now, no one technology has really made any significant change to makeup application, beside makeup artists ocassionally using handheld application devices such as compressed air guns, just to speed up the process and to get an even and professional finish. However, where this new technology could really come into its own is the fact that it can be used by anyone to reproduce new types of finishes, with the manufacturer even hinting that it could be used to spray print images, patterns and even photos onto the face. This means that, for example, it might be used to spray specific patterns or images on to the eyelids, where women often use more elaborate patterns and colors to decorate their faces.

Beauty Isn't All That Matters In Life

The Herald (Harare)

OPINION
11 August 2007
Posted to the web 13 August 2007

Albert Nhamoyebonde
Harare

NEWSWEEK magazine once devoted one issue a few years ago to the biology of beauty. Whereas a perfect face and body have always defined beauty, researchers agree that there is a universal sense of beauty in all cultures.

Arthur Danto, an art critic, says: "Beauty is beauty across all cultural divisions."

In Mauritania, a girl or woman is considered beautiful if she is fat and well-rounded. It is reported that mothers force-feed their girl children to become fat so that men find them attractive.

A survey was carried out some years ago about what men in different continents of the world regarded as a beautiful woman. European men went for the face while African men preferred the more rounded hip and bottom. Is it any wonder the latest fashion is to wear tight-fitting skirts and trousers to emphasise the bottom?

Why then is this obsession with beauty?

Researchers have reported that beauty is used by women to catch men with better resources to guarantee a better life for their children.

But one researcher quoted in Newsweek said: "Beauty isn't all that matters in life; most of us manage to attract mates and bear offspring despite our physical imperfections. And qualities we find alluring say nothing about people's moral worth."

This brings me to an incident that happened many years ago. A friend, who was blind, asked me to go with him to see a girl he was dating. On the way he told me that she was beautiful. How could he know she was beautiful when he could not see? I wondered. But he was right.

The girl was beautiful in the physical sense but my friend later explained that she had a wonderful heart and when he touched her hand he could feel her lovely spirit. They later got married.

Tears of happiness flowed down the faces of some of the guests but the newly weds were just full of smiles. It was the best wedding I have ever attended.

There is something beautiful in all of us men and women. Others may just have a lovely face or well-rounded hips and bottom but deep down, it is our moral worthiness that shines like a beacon of light to illuminate how beautiful we are.

Our weakness for "biological quality" is the cause of endless pain and injustice, according to one scientist Ray Thornhill of the University of New Mexico, USA.
