  • How Genetics Affects Aging (and How We Can Reverse It!)

    Mitochondrial DNA contains genes only from mothers. "What we previously had demonstrated was that the mitochondrial DNA acquired damage as the animals age," study researcher Nils-Göran Larsson, a researcher at Max Planck Institute, told LiveScience. "But now, we also report that some of this damage is already present at birth, and is transmitted from mother to child." Scientists have previously attributed aging to cell damage accumulated throughout life, but have not closely considered how aging rates might be inherited. We can prevent premature aging and reverse some signs of aging by using products that contain: antioxidants retinol peptides SPF hyaluronic...

This accumulation causes fragile capillaries to stretch and leak. If you inherit darker skin (East Indian...

    Why can’t we just use face cream? Or nothing at all? Well no one is ‘making’ you use an Eye Cream! However, these products are specifically formulated for use around the very delicate, thin, sensitive eye area. The skin around the eyes is 6x thinner than the rest of the face, and thicker products will not penetrate properly, resulting in products ‘running into the eyes’. Most people will not have eye issues, irritation, etc in the eyes from an actual eye cream, however, it can be common when using face or body products near the eyes. It is generally recommended...
