The general program for skin enhancement shown in the following table is intended for people with dull or lackluster skin, dry skin, or a chronic skin condition. Aspects of other programs, such as the Anti-Stress program, Anti-Aging program, or the Detoxification programs, may be combined with this program. Smokers should follow the Nicotine Detoxification program as well. Remember, too, that worry and extreme emotion tend to increase our aging process and wrinkle our skin. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In fact, neem is now being used in several different types of skin care products and is especially good for very dry, itchy, "winter skin." Even better, neem has natural antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties, which means it can protect skin from common infections such as ringworm and scabies.
One of the most intriguing new uses for neem is as a toothpaste and mouthwash. | | Supplements for Sensational Skin
Within the past few years, there has been nothing less than a revolution in natural skin care products. Unlike their old-fashioned counterparts, which primarily cover up problems, these new cutting-edge products actually enhance the health and quality of skin. In fact, many contain the same vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can be taken internally but are redesigned to be absorbed right into the skin, where it is needed the most. | | Look for it in cosmetics and skin care products.
Essential Fatty Acids
Show me someone who is on an extremely low-fat diet, and I will show you someone who has dry skin and dull, lifeless hair. Some fat in your diet is absolutely essential for healthy, glowing skin. In particular, essential fatty acids, such as gamma linoleic acid, help the skin retain its elasticity and seals in moisture. Several of the supplements I have already reviewed (flaxseed oil, conjugated linoleic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, evening primrose oil) are essential fatty acids. |

PREPARATIONS
Dried or fresh herb for infusion, liquid extract and tablets for internal use.
Infused oil of hypericum is made by mixing the flowers in a good-quality fixed oil (such as olive oil) in a well-sealed vessel in the presence of sunlight over several weeks. The action of the sunlight produces a red oil containing hypericin derivatives, hyperforin, xanthones, flavonoids and the breakdown products of hyperforin.
DOSAGE
• 2-5 g of dried herb per day or the equivalent of 1.0-2. |

KlNETIN
Kinetin, a growth hormone extracted from plants, is being used in skin creams and gels. In test tube studies, kinetin has been shown to extend the life of human skin fibroblasts, which are believed to be instrumental in skin aging. Fibroblasts produce collagen and elastin, which are important for maintaining the texture and tone of skin. |

See book keywords and concepts | | A number of companies now produce natural skin care products that can help rehydrate dried skin, relubricate skin with oils, and protect the skin from heat, cold, chemicals, and the sun. Sunscreens are very popular now with the current knowledge of the sun's chronic damaging effects on the skin. Beauty creams with aloe vera, clay packs, herbal wraps, honey or egg white facials, and dry-brush massaging are some ways to clean, detoxify, and nurture our epidermis. Saunas and sweats are also helpful in clearing impurities through the skin. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Alpha-tocopheryl acetate, in addition to being available as a nutritional supplement, is used in topical skin care products. It appears that it can diffuse into skin cells where it is converted to d-alpha-tocopherol. The acetate itself does not have antioxidant activity, d-alpha-tocopherol may protect skin against ultraviolet damage and is also a skin moisturizer. Some are hypersensitive to topical d-alpha-tocopherol and may develop dermatitis from its use.
DL-ALPHA-TOCOPHERYL ACETATE dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate is an all-synthetic form of alpha-tocopherol. |

Catalog of Ageless Body, Timeless Mind products, a line of herbal formulas from author Deepak Chopra, M.D. | | Topical application is used to treat a wide range of skin problems, and essences are popular ingredients in skin care products and other cosmetics. Mild essential oils such as lavender can even be applied full strength, or "neat," to treat cuts, burns, headaches and other simple first-aid conditions.
"For the layperson, there aren't many essential oils I would recommend using neat on the skin," says Steele. "Even a trained aromatherapist can't always predict who will have an allergic reaction to an essential oil, so using them diluted provides an extra measure of safety. |
