Mansi,

HiHealth carries Hylauronic Acid from a company called Source Naturals. It has lots of other good stuff also. You might also get a good multi vitamin with plenty of A, C, E, Zinc, and Selenium. Omega-3 fish oils would be another good thing to take.

Sorry I don't know of any creams. There is a book by Dr. Nicholas Perricone called the Pericone Prescription. That would be a very good book to read on the subject.

Good luck and avoid the sunlight. Other than that, just don't get old!

The Renaissance cream I'm using for strech marks (the more reasonable Stri-vectin competition) is GREAT for it! My sis-in-law and sister are forever grateful to me for suggesting it. Took care of the problem in 3 weeks!

For aging skin, I highly recommend the Isomers skincare line. It is available only from shopnbc.com (and ebay sometimes). The products are great.

If you want to go the hyaluronic acid route, Isomers has pure sodium hyaluronate serum (not watered down like all the others I have found). This is a topical form of the HA, not internal like the one that Wakaika mentioned.

It kind of depends on what your goals are with your skincare, but I know that the Isomers line would have something to suit your needs. I won't put anything else on my face and body after trying just about everything else. These are the only products I have tried where I don't feel like someone scammed me out of my money. These products WORK!!

Hi everyone,
Thanks for advice.
Wen frankly speaking I can't afford the Renaissance cream with BE . May be I will buy it once I am done with BE.

I was thinking more in terms of some DIY project like buying some base inexpensive cream and mix soem stuf in it and get soemthing like face batter to fight wrinkles.

Even Isomer line is pretty expensive for me .

I don't know , if this project is so expensive, then may be I will wait till I have done with BE and then start this one.
Hylauronic Acid sounds interesting. Wahaika do we need to consume it orally or apply it topically??

Thanks

Mansi,

Orally. This is a link to the one that I get from HiHealth:
www.sourcenaturals.com/products/GP1726.html

Purity Products were the first ones that I could find that offered Hylauronic Acid orally. They are a bit more expensive unless you buy in bulk. Theirs is probably the best.

If you want it with a good multi mixed in then you might try this one:
www.purityproducts.com:80/product.asp?sku=172

Bill Sardi is a health journalist. His site promotes Hylauronic Acid pretty well and explains it in detail. Here is a link to his main page:
www.askbillsardi.com/sdm.asp?pg=HA

Here is a page on Japanese health in general and it gets into Hylauronic Acid as part of the discussion:
www.askbillsardi.com/sdm.asp?pg=japenese_health

The isbn# for Nicholas Perricone's book "The Perricone Prescription" is 0-06-018879-0. You can get this at Hihealth or they may even have some copies of his previous book "The Wrinkle Cure." But I think that this one is a continuation of that book and probably has all of that information in it.

Mansi,

You're still pretty young, so you don't have to go too overboard, but there are a lot of DIY things you can try.

Don't overcleanse your face for one, just get the oil off. Make sure you remove all your makeup before bed, and wash with a gentle soap, like glycerine.

If you have oily skin, you can use a clay mask once or twice a week to keep it clear. You didn't say what kind of condition your skin was in (dry/oily/combo) or if you have acne, but I gather it's pretty good - you're just going for prevention right now. Right? (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

In the morning, you can wash your face with milk - it helps (REALLY!). Keep a small container of powdered milk in the bathroom, mix a little with warm water and gently scrub your face with it. The lactic acid is very good for your skin and will gently exfoliate the dead skin. Use witchhazel or lemon water to tone.

For a moisturizer, you can mix up squalene oil & a couple drops of bulgarian lavendar & juniper essential oils. The squalene is a little expensive, but you only need a couple drops every day. Use morning and before bed. IF your skin is dry. If your skin is oily, just use the squalene around wrinkle-prone areas and on your neck & throat and find a non-oily dimethicone-based moisturizer for the rest of your face.

Also, you can use regular vitamin A & E & C oils on your skin. You do not have to buy expensive creams with these vitamins IN them - just get the capsule cheap at the drug store. Squeeze a little A & E out of the capsules onto a finger and dot around your "wrinkle" areas and gently pat into the skin at night before putting on your moisturizer. You can dissolve vitamin c tablets in hot water and pat the mixture on the skin too, after washing with milk in the morning.

(I got a lot of this info from "Lose 10 years in 10 Weeks", and a great beauty book I've had and loved for a couple of years. (Can't recall the author, sorry.)

Best prevention:

1. Drink LOTS and LOTS of water.
2. Get plenty of sleep ALWAYS
3. ALWAYS use moisturizer on your neck and throat - it's the only part of your skin with no sebum glands, which is why it wrinkles first.
4. USE SUNSCREEN! Even if you have dark skin, use sunscreen, minimum 15 SPF where you live.
5. Use monosaturated oils (olive) and saturated oils (coconut) in your diet.

Good, cheap supplements for skin - Water, MSM & Vitamin C. (One gallon water to 1 gram MSM to 1 gram Vitamin C - you can even mix them together and add sweetener and drink them all together.)

Hope this helps.
