Warm weather inevitably brings lazy days at the beach, hip poolside parties and long nights out on the town. With all of these social activities, the following are a few simple beauty tips to look your best all summer long.
Sun Safe – A tantalizing tan is something you look forward to during the bitter cold months of winter, but too much UV exposure can make skin look wrinkled and aged. It’s important to use a sunscreen with SPF 30 daily. Also, make sure to apply a different sun-block for your face and body to prevent breakouts. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to protect your luscious locks. Use products with an ingredient called benzophenone-4, a sunscreen for your scalp, as well as ones that contain a “UV shield” which helps preserve color and prevent brassiness.
Embrace the Elements – Humidity can wreak havoc on hair, but instead of trying to fight the elements, embrace them. Straight hair doesn’t spell summer, so give your hair dryer and straight iron a rest and welcome curls and beachy waves. Let your hair air dry this summer. You can also try using a sea-salt spray which gives that “just-got-back-from-the-beach” look and also gives an added voluminous boost to roots.
White Hot – Nothing says blissful summer better than a dazzling white smile. And, did you know that a bright white smile can help your tan appear to last longer? Dramatically whiten your teeth with Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal, featuring the best technology from Crest to securely mold and adhere the strip to your teeth, allowing you to easily talk and even drink water for convenient whitening anywhere, any time. The secure fit comes off clean after whitening, leaving no mess behind. Achieving a beautiful, whiter smile is now easier than ever. Plus, at about $45 per kit, whitening is budget-friendly too!
Color Blast – Get bold and brighten up your polish picks. Hot pinks and corals are especially fun for the warm months and will complement a glowing tan. Try unexpected manicure/pedicure combos, such as wearing a bright tomato-red polish on your fingers and a sheer color on your toes. If you are willing to be more daring, go with two brights, such as a banana yellow on hands and a coral orange on feet.
Less Is More – The summer heat may be reinvigorating after a long winter, but runny make-up is less than attractive. All you need is a tinted moisturizer – rather than heavy foundation – and chapstick to get that au natural beach beauty look.
So go ahead and enjoy your prettiest summer yet!

As a follow up to L’Oreal’s independent validation of ProtoKinetix’ patented AAGP, the Company reports the significance of the upcoming Malta Skin Ageing 2009 conference. This symposium targets researchers, academics, clinicians, pharmaceutical and cosmetic corporations from throughout the world. Such industry giants as L’Oreal and Beiersdorf will be making keynote presentations on the role of anti-oxidants in the prevention of the aging process.
Aging is accelerated by hostile stimuli such as UV, oxygen and toxic chemicals. Anti-oxidants have been proven to be a major defense against these antagonists. The action of AAGP has, in turn, been proven to be significantly superior to the benchmark CoQ10 as a protection against oxidative stresses. The mechanism of AAGP indicates that it prevents the formation of free radicals which destabilize molecules creating cell damage, cell death, inflammation and premature aging. Dr. Marvin Edeas, Chairman of the Scientific Committee of the Conference states in his letter to colleagues that “Oxidative stress is included in multiple diseases: cancers, Alzheimer diseases, cataract, cardiovascular disease and skin ageing. The use of antioxidants to avoid oxidative stress has been well documented for several years.”
For additional information on the symposium, visit: www.malta-skinageing.com.
As the role of AAGP in this arena has been recognized, ProtoKinetix anticipates that more developments will be announced shortly.
About ProtoKinetix
ProtoKinetix Inc. is a biotechnology company that has developed and patented a family of synthetic anti-aging glycopeptides (AAGP) for medicine and the biotechnology and cosmetic industries. PKTX is currently in dialog with major corporations and institutions who have contacted the Company about the broad range of applications for AAGP products.
