Phytoceramides: Why Japanese Women Don’t Need Facelifts

So it was in the mid-90’s when my mom asked me if she should get a facelift.  I remember telling her that I would support her but I was hoping that when my day came there would be a pill.

Well that day is here.  I am now exactly my mom’s age when she asked me that question.

Of course we have lots more choices in how to achieve a more youthful appearance today.  Everything from injections to lasers and some pretty high-tech products.

But I would still like to take a pill.  So the research began.

And here are some interesting facts about a phytoceramide supplement that may make facelifts obsolete:

• In a four-week clinical study, 95% of participants suffering from dry, itchy, flaky skin saw completely restored hydration using a phytoceramides supplement.
• A 12-week study showed reversal of age-related skin wrinkling.
• A 90-day follow up to the four-week study showed thicker, more hydrated, less red and itchy skin.
• The phytoceramides supplement uses lipid technology that passes through the digestive enzymes and penetrates up through the skin matrix, mimicking your body’s own ceramides.
• Researchers discovered that this extract the phytoceramide extract is based on improves the skin’s water loss (which happens with aging).
• After a six-week Japanese study, skin was brighter and smoother.  Wrinkles became shallow and significant improvement was observed in the neck.
