Antioxidants
You have heard the saying….New Year….New You. Let’s start off together. Remember, things don’t happen overnight, so be patient and try your best to stick with a regimen. Before you know it, you will begin to see a newer, fresher, younger you in the mirror.
We already know that it is important to wear sunscreen everyday. The next important thing we can do for our skin is to put on a cream or serum that contains the antioxidant power that is necessary to protect cells from free radicals (such as air pollution, sunlight, alcohol, and cigarette smoke). Another factor is stress; stress produces adrenaline-related destructive free radicals. I already know that stress is never going to leave my life. So I must do what I can to protect myself from looking older.
Scientists have learned in the past few years that brewed coffee made from roasted beans is high in antioxidants. The extract contains high levels of antioxidants called polyphenols that are believed to prevent cellular damage in the skin when applied externally and to boost the immune system when ingested. CoffeeBerry extract was twice as capable of protecting the skin from UVA damage. It was also better at inhibiting UV-induced inflammation and enzymes associated with melanoma. “This is one of the most promising new antioxidants to come along in years,” says David McDaniel, assistant professor of clinical dermatology and plastic surgery at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia, “CoffeeBerry is safe and natural, with the potential to be another superpotent antioxidant like C+E Ferulic Acid or the synthetic idebenone,” he says.
At an independent lab, Cyberderm, in Media, Pennsylvania, scientists recruited ten women, ages 35 to 60, with wrinkles, dry skin, and discoloration. Each was given a basic moisturizer for one side of the face and the same cream with 1 percent CoffeeBerry for the other. Neither the supervisors nor the subjects knew what they were testing. After the women applied the creams twice a day for three weeks, evaluators assessed the results visually and with measuring tools. They found texture and tone on the CoffeeBerry side of the face to be superior in every case, with 46 percent improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, 64 percent in overall skin smoothness, and 79 percent in skin hydration.
This is a GREAT start. I have been using the CoffeeBerry for approximately 2 months and have truly noticed a big difference in my skin. Don’t forget the back of your hands. My wrinkled, mangled mess on the back of my hands has improved dramatically. I don’t hide them like I used to.
