A newly-produced 8-minute online film introduces Longevinex Advantage, the newly formulated dietary supplement that, for the first time, addresses both cellular and connective tissue aging.
The film addresses the current rage — resveratrol (rez-vair-ah-trawl) pills. Consumers have recently been hearing about the possibility of slowing the rate of human aging using natural red wine molecules such as resveratrol. But resveratrol pills have an inherent flaw — they narrowly address cellular aging, which is characterized by shortening of telomeres (end caps on chromosomes), loss of cellular energy produced in the mitochondria, and progressive accumulation of cellular debris called lipofuscin which generates free radicals.
The film explains, as exciting as the prospect of slowing the rate of aging is, so-called anti-aging resveratrol supplements also need to address connective tissue aging — the breakdown of the “goo” in between cells that serves as scaffolding and filler for skin, hair, eyes, vocal cords and joints.
The film explains, that unless “youth” pills address connective tissues aging, living cells may be restored to youthful function but humans will exhibit wrinkled skin, thinning hair, sunken eyes, raspy voice and stiffened joints— the characteristic visible signs of aging.
The film identifies ingredients in Longevinex Advantage, in particularly hyaluronan, a natural water-holding, nerve and joint cushioning molecule, stimulates cells called fibroblasts to resume youthful production of hyaluronan.
The pure form of hyaluronan used in Longevinex Advantage has been shown in published studies to be orally absorbed and produce youthful effects in human skin. Other natural molecules in Longevinex Advantage inhibit hyaluronidase, the enzyme that breaks down of hyaluronan.
Bill Sardi, spokesperson for Longevinex (long-jev-in-ex), says the positive effects of this dietary supplement become more apparent after six weeks of use — the time it takes to fully regenerate a new layer of skin.
Longevinex Advantage provides a unique patent-applied-for matrix of resveratrol, quercetin, rice bran IP6, ferulic acid, lutein, grape seed, green tea and cocoa bean extracts which have been demonstrated to work synergistically to activate more longevity genes than plain resveratrol.
The film, produced by Michael Gonzales & Associates, is available for viewing online at www.longevinexadvantage.com.

YON-KA Paris (www.YonKaUSA.com), the luxury aroma-therapeutic herbaceutical skincare line announced the launch of ADVANCED OPTIMIZER, a duo of serum and cream that use flower peptides (from Hibiscus and White Lupine) for intensive firming and lifting of the skin.
Clinical tests, which were conducted over four consecutive weeks on 20 women aged 33 to 60 with sagging skin problems, showed significant improvement of the firmness, tone and density parameters of the dermis and sharpness of facial contours.
In vitro test: the firming booster effect: Hibiscus Peptides (in ADVANCED OPTIMIZER SERUM) were shown to stimulate the production of collagen 23%, and stimulated the production of GAGs (glycosaminoglycans) 294% for visibly smoother and firmer skin.
Ex vivo test: the collagen-protecting effect. Lupine Peptides (in ADVANCED OPTIMIZER CREME) protect collagen to actively combat and prevent skin sagging. Skin treated with the cream showed a visibly more redensified collagen network when compared with skin without the cream.
Why is this product news-worthy?
1. YON-KA is the first company to offer a PURE FLOWER PEPTIDE anti-aging technology. Other companies have offered peptides from various origins, not always natural and never from pure flowers.
2. YON-KA strived to achieve the ultimate lifting and firming for the skin and came up with a harmonizing twosome to achieve the BEST possible visual result. SERUM + CREME = THE POWER OF TWO = MAXIMUM BENEFITS for MAXIMUM VISIBLE RESULTS.
ADVANCED OPTIMIZER provides a complete, targeted and absolutely innovative anti-aging, firming and lifting response to the problem of sagging skin:
Two complementary products, the SERUM and the CREME, work in synergy to:
1. Boost the skin’s natural reconstruction processes,
2. Slow down the destruction of support tissues,
3. Repair and protect the skin
Active Ingredients:
Advanced Optimizer Serum:
Hibiscus Peptides, Marine Collagen, Horsetail, Wild Rose, Hyaluronic Acid, Soy Peptides.
Advanced Optimizer Creme:
White Lupine Peptides, Marine Collagen, Horsetail, Wild Rose, Co-enzyme Q10, Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter, Milk Proteins.
Result: visibly younger-looking, firmer and smoother skin and redefined facial contours.
Intended for: Users ages 35 and up, who are experiencing a loss of elasticity and firmness.
Application: Morning and night, apply SERUM and then CREME.
Suggested Retail Price: 1.0 oz pump + 1.4 oz tube, packaged together - $140.00
Availability: In spas everywhere, by calling (800) 391-5333 and online through various websites including SkinCareRx.com.

Created to meet the demands of new digital imagery and high definition techniques, MAKE UP FOR EVER developed their HD Complexion collection. Whether a desperate or real life housewife, women everywhere want to look absolutely flawless on screen or off. MAKE UP FOR EVER consulted with film and television technicians to create a unique collection of HD-ready products that correct and perfect the skin yet remain invisible to high definition cameras as well as the naked eye.
Flawless skin starts at the base, especially when your skin is being magnified in high definition. High definition imagery shows pictures that are 6x sharper than what the human eye sees. Fine lines and wrinkles, skin imperfections, shine, make up mistakes and incorrectly matched foundation can all be painfully obvious under the high definition lens. To counter such unforgiving technology, make up must provide full coverage yet appear sheer and natural and be true to color. To fulfill all these needs, MAKE UP FOR EVER developed their HD Complexion collection.
HD Elixir: Dry, flaky skin is never attractive, but when magnified in high definition format, it becomes unacceptable and makes applying make up a challenge. Created to instantly increase skin’s moisture to create a perfectly smooth palette for HD Complexion make up, HD Elixir boosts skin’s moisture a whopping 520% after 15 minutes and continues to hold in moisture at 430% after one hour. In addition to the instant surge of moisture, HD Elixir also restores skin’s radiance and erases signs of fatigue, actually firming and giving skin a smooth and soft texture.
HD Microperfecting Primer: The light, oil-free formula acts as a preparation product that creates a protective film on the skin’s surface and operates as a shield, preventing the foundation from penetrating the skin. Dermatologically tested to be safe for all skin types, it also helps stabilize foundation to be more long-lasting and more evenly applied. Nourishing ingredients act as moisturizers to protect skin from dryness, providing a well balanced canvas for foundation application. Available in neutral plus 6 color correcting shades.
HD Invisible Cover Foundation: HD Invisible Cover Foundation covers skin imperfections yet remains invisible to the eye on screen or in real life. This invisible coverage formula has been tested by professionals in front of high definition cameras, and by real women in every type of light. An oil-free, lightweight liquid formula with an extremely smooth texture, it is enhanced with tiny light refractors that veil imperfections, creating a soft focus effect to skin. It is formulated to neutralize shine while nourishing skin and protecting from dryness. Available in 25 shades to match all skin tones.
HD Microfinish Powder: HD Microfinish Powder is a universal, translucent powder that finishes off every look on every skin tone with sheer flawlessness and a “soft focus” effect. The inimitable formula is incredibly soft and satiny and uses ultra fine, round micro-particles made of 100% Mineral Silica Powder, to mask lines and imperfections for a perfect, radiant complexion on screen and in real life. It not only sets foundation and slightly mattifies the skin, but completely evens out the complexion for a glowing, radiant look. Dermatologically tested, HD Microfinish Powder is completely talc free and paraben free and will not dehydrate skin. 100% Mineral Silica Powder makes it safe for even sensitive skin types.
To complement the transition to HD, MAKE UP FOR EVER is also enhancing their presence in the social space! They’ve launched a new Twitter account and Facebook page to offer their fans greater insight into the brand. From the most delicate look to the most powerful statement, welcome to the world of MAKE UP FOR EVER.
MAKE UP FOR EVER is available at Sephora.

Atlanta Institute of Aesthetics (atlantainstituteofaesthetics.com), the leading skin care school in Georgia, offers tips to keep your skin safe and radiant for the sunshine season.
Traci Daly, Licensed Esthetician and Program Director of Atlanta Institute of Aesthetics, cautions: “Common cleansers can dull and dehydrate your skin.” According to Traci, “A body exfoliation will help your skin to better absorb moisturizer and sunscreen.”
To protect and pamper summer skin, the Atlanta Institute of Aesthetics Clinic offers a full range of skin care services including Basic and European Facials. An exfoliating and hydrating mask will refresh and reinvigorate your winter skin. Traci says, “A full body exfoliation will help your skin glow while you wear those summer tank tops and strapless dresses!”
Remember the importance of sunscreen this summer in Atlanta. Skin care protection begins with applying sunscreen products every morning. For days when you anticipate a lot of sun exposure, reapply every two hours throughout the day.
Traci highly recommends the Aloe Vera Sunsensitive SPF 25 or the UV Protect Day Cream from Dr. Spiller. Also, cosmetic foundation products from Jane Iredale are SPFs and feel light when applied to your face. These special skin care products are available in the bookstore at the Atlanta Institute of Aesthetics located at 2 Dunwoody Park in Atlanta.
