JGlamour have released their line of Studio Makeup Brushes to compete with companies such as MAC Cosmetics and Sephora. Their line of brushes includes face, eyes and cheek brushes along with complete brush sets and brush rolls. The brushes have been designed by Professional Makeup Artists and have been chosen for their extremely soft hair and suitability for home and studio application.
One of the JGlamour Professional Makeup Artists stated “we have been working very hard to design a cost effective brush set that is higher quality than any other brush available in the market. I have been working in the beauty industry for some time now using everything including the high-end brands and never quite found the quality of brush for use on set. With these new brushes I think we have set a new level of quality in the industry.”
JGlamour’s main competitors in the Makeup Brush market are MAC Cosmetics and Sephora having retail stores all over the world, therefore there is already healthy competition and consumer choice. JGlamour Head of Marketing said “our product is of the highest quality working with the best manufacturers available, this will be our first line of brushes and we expect to release more shortly including a Mineral Makeup Brush line. Having the brushes designed by our own internal Professional Makeup Artists gives everyone involved a sense of achievement and raises the bar in the marketplace”.

We have all seen pictures of river and lake beds that have dried up due to a lack of rain and water supply to the area. The ground is a spider web pattern of cracks in the dry clay soil because lack of moisture makes the ground separate and the ruts become deeper and deeper as more water evaporates from the surface. Water is critical and vital for human existence, we can live 20 days without food but we can only live 4 days without water.
H2O plays an integral part in our human chemistry and anatomy and as a matter of fact about 70% of our body weight is water. A drought or an absence of water can wreak havoc on our earth and our human body devoid of moisture can create havoc on skin and complexion. Drinking an insufficient amount of water can bring about drought conditions for our skin and can be highly problematic in a myriad of ways. Foremost, dehydration can make you look older, think of the lake bed as a mega magnified close up of your face and the surface becoming more and more prone to these “ruts” or wrinkles, as our moisture level decreases.
From a cosmetic standpoint, dehydration can render many skin care products ineffective or at the very least insufficient. Products with peptide technology, like Skin 2 Skin Care’s Anti-Sagging Renewal Serum, when applied to the face goes into the layers of the skin and seeks out moisture to effectively produce results the product was intended to deliver. Without enough water, it will leave skin care products without the ability to be totally beneficial. Matrixyl 3000, a copper peptide at a 17% concentration in Skin 2 Skin’s Anti-Sagging Renewal Serum, constantly reminds the skin’s cells to replenish water for an optimal level of skin hydration. It also helps the cells recover more effectively from wound and cut damage and reduces blemishes due to acne and other skin conditions. The serum aids in strengthening the skin’s elasticity and gives the skin a firmer, more youthful appearance. All of this because of the foundation that good hydration set up is necessary for the skin care product to do its job effectively.
How well your skin care products work is really up to you. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day creates the optimum condition for your skin products to work effectively. Staying away from sugary soda and juice and keeping alcohol consumption to a minimum are all great habits to have to keep dehydration at bay. A perfect complement to a strict hydration routine is a skin care regimen using the Anti-Wrinkle Night Recovery by Skin 2 Skin. The silky, ultra-hydrating skin cream is formulated with advanced peptide technology that includes 2% Dermaxyl and Eukarion 134. These peptides work by encouraging healthy cell renewal, repairing photodamaged and hyperpigmented skin and by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by increasing collagen production and plumping / hydrating the skin inside out. This product will do its part all while you peacefully slumber as long as you do your part while you are awake and keep that body fully hydrated.
A lot more goes into a person’s skin care product’s effectiveness than just drinking water. An effective outcome may also be dependent on a person’s diligence with sticking to the Skin 2 Skin Care’s regimen, your genetics, and limiting the amount of exposure to the harmful Sun that will cause photodamage which are your wrinkles, fine lines, brown spots and early signs of aging. For the most part, keeping your body hydrated is an easy task that everyone can do to start everything off the best way possible. No, dehydration will not make you older as implied by the article title, but it will make your skin look older than you need to look and it will cause you to throw good money down the drain for skin care products that you have purchased but can’t do their job sufficiently. So come on everyone, fill up that glass with water, throw a sliced cucumber, lemon or orange in there to spice it up if you don’t like plain water and let’s all toast to younger looking skin.

LifeVantage Corporation, today announced that its new anti-aging skin care formula, LifeVantage TrueScience, is now available for sale to the Company’s distributors. Distributors can purchase samples of the new product for marketing purposes, and the new 50ml bottles containing a month’s supply will be available later this month. This new, proprietary skin care formula was developed in association with Kimberly Stone, M.D., a leading Denver-based board certified dermatologist, and was formulated to protect the skin from the bombardment of factors that contribute to aging and the symptoms of unhealthy skin.
LifeVantage President and CEO David Brown commented, “Products aimed at facial skin care account for approximately 20 percent of the multi-billion dollar skin care industry and anti-aging products in general rank among the leading product categories in the United States. LifeVantage is taking a unique ‘inside-out’ approach to anti-aging. On the inside of the body, Protandim® has been proven to reduce the rate of cellular aging. Offering a unique, effective skin care product to address the skin, or the ‘outside’ is a logical extension of our Protandim product line.”
Dr. Kimberly Stone said, “I was very impressed with the benefits LifeVantage TrueScience delivered to my patients during our study of the product within my practice. Patients experienced a diminution of both fine-line and deep-line wrinkles. Additionally, the formula improved the texture and elasticity of the skin, while minimizing age spots and other forms of mild skin discoloration. The result was just what my patients wanted: healthier and younger looking skin. I believe that LifeVantage TrueScience is a key complementary product to Protandim. The ravages of aging have a variety of causes and battling them at both the cellular and external levels is very important to long term health.”

Fish oils, also known as marine oils, are essential fatty acids (lipids) found in fish, particularly cold water fish, and other marine life such as phytoplankton.
These oils are rich sources of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) of the n-3 (omega-3) type. The two most studied fish oil fatty acids are the 20 carbon eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and the 22-carbon docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).Following ingestion EPA and DHA are transported by the circulatory system to various tissues of the body where they are used mainly for the synthesis of phospholipids.
These phopholipids in turn are incorporated into the cell membranes of blood platelets, blood cells and central nervous system cells, as well as many others. DHA, in particular, is a vital component of the phospholipids which make up the cellular membranes of the brain and retina.
Most fish oil supplements are about 20 EPA and 10 DHA, or a total of 30 omega-3. These omega-3 fatty acids, unlike the omega-3 fatty acid found in flaxseed oil and other vegetable oils, help to keep blood triglycerides in check and may protect against atherosclerosis.
Suggested Health Benefits of Fish Oil Supplementation :-
Fish oils may primarily be indicated to lower triglyceride levels in those with hypertriglyceridemia. Another important indication may be to prevent death in those who have suffered myocardial infarctions. However, studies indicate that fish oil supplementation may be valuable in preventing a number of conditions including the following:
Crohn’s Disease :-
Fish oil may help to prevent relapse in Crohn’s disease. The results of one double-blind trial of individuals with Crohn’s disease showed that subjects taking fish oil experienced a significantly reduced relapse rate. The fish oil used in this trial was enterically coated free fatty acid form that provided .9 grams of DHA and 1.8 grams of EPA daily. No adverse side effects were reported.
High Blood Pressure :- Fish oil supplementation may be useful for lowering blood pressure. Analysis of 17 controlled studies indicated that supplementation with at least 3 grams of fish oil daily can lead to clinically relevant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in individuals with untreated hypertension. Doses in these trials ranged from 1 to 15 grams of EPA and DHA.
High Triglycerides :- In one double-blind study 234 men were randomly selected and divided into three groups. Each group was given 3.8 grams daily of EPA, in the form of ethyl ester, 3.6 grams daily of DHA, in the form of ethyl ester or a placebo. When compared to the placebo group triglyceride levels decreased by 26 in the DHA group and over 20 in the EPA group. However, the effect of fish oil on LDL (bad) cholesterol varies, and in some people, fish oil supplementation has been reported to increase LDL levels.
Rheumatoid Arthritis :- Some people with rheumatoid arthritis have been found to have lower than normal levels of fish oil containing omega-3 fatty acids in the fluid and blood in their joints. Studies have shown that EPA and DHA, like those found in fish oil, help to inhibit the synthesis of the inflammatory cytokines TNF (tumor necrosis factor)-alpha and IL(interleukin)-1 beta in both healthy individuals and those with rheumatoid arthritis. It has been reported that daily supplementation with 3 grams of EPA and DHA mixtures for three months or longer may reduce the number of tender joints and severity of morning sickness in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. It has also been reported that Individuals with rheumatoid arthritis that supplemented with EPA and DHA mixtures have been able lower their reliance anti-inflammatory drugs or disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs.
Fish Oil Health Benefits Of Other Health Issues :-
Asthma,Atherosclerosis,Bipolar disorder,Breast-feeding support,Cardiac arrhythmia,Cystic fibrosis (EPA),Depression,Eczema,Heart attack,Immune function (omega-3 fatty acids for critically ill and post surgery patients only),Kidney disease,Lupus,Osteoporosis (in combination with evening primrose oil),Phenylketonuria (if deficient in polyunsaturated fatty acids),Pre- and post-surgery health,Psoriasis,Raynaud’s disease,Schizophrenia,Sickle cell anemia,Ulcerative colitis
