What helps regenerate skin best?

Question by Kashkikov: What helps regenerate skin best?
I've got a couple of scars on my skin. I've heard that stuff like Emu oil, Aloe, and Tamanu Oil help, but I want other opinions. What works best?

Answer by oldtimekid2
There are a couple options... addressing it on the outside and addressing it from the inside. Both are very good and beneficial ways of doing it and you can even do them both at the same time.
You also heard right about the Emu Oil and Aloe, but there are many other options.

For external applications, one thing you can do is to take a 400 IU softgel of Vitamin E, then CAREFULLY poke a hole in it. Squeeze out the oil and spread it out evenly onto the affected area. If you have more than one area that's been affected, spread out the amount that's used evenly to each area, as too much vitamin E can build up to toxic levels in your body.
You can also try soaking your skin in Aloe Vera because that helps to soothe any tissue it touches.

Also, if you would like more benefits, there are some supplements you could take internally to help the health of your skin. Some of the most popular ones are Biotin, Silica (commonly from Horsetail), Emu Oil, Squalene, Borage Oil (specifically for the GLA, Gamma Linoleic Acid), Hyaluronic Acid, MSM, L-Cysteine, Collagen, and most antioxidants (like Vitamins A and C among others).
Good luck!

What is the best way to grow longer hair?

Question by Meghan Andersen: What is the best way to grow longer hair?
Last year I chopped my hair off and I liked the look of it. But now I really wish I didn't do that and my hair hasn't been growing. I have been taking biotin. What are other ways besides pills?! Any homemade ideas?! I want my long hair back!!


Best answer:

Answer by Samantha
The first tip is to try not to damage your hair. Use heat on it as little as possible. Damaged hair takes longer to grow. Also, trim it regularly. Again the dead ends will slow down the growing process. Deep condition your hair once a week and drink lots of water. You just have to keep your hair healthy and the faster it will grow.

You should use a regular skin care regimen with an exfoliator, which will help your skin renew itself and unclog your pores, helping them reduce in size. Over time, if you exfoliate your skin, your scarring with decrease, but it may not go away without some time of dermtologic treatment.

which vitamins are best for anti aging?

Question by Raihana Hossain: which vitamins are best for anti aging?
I am 36 and would like to know which anit aging suppliments should I take to delay aging process. Which vitamin suppliments are good for skin elasticity and hair loss.


Best answer:

Answer by here_nor_there
You can't do this with just supplements. In fact, I'd say supplements are the very last thing you should be looking at. You're at an age like (I'm the same age as you) where you realize you need to hang on to what you've got. And that's going to take some work and lifestyle changes. I know it sucks, but it's just a job like flossing your teeth. You have to be a grown up about it and do it because no one is going to do it for you.

To slow down aging process, you should focus on controlling insulin. Every time you eat something you know is bad, it's aging you. If you eat a healthy diet, that should help signficantly. I'm not a purist so I do eat a treat everyday, but I keep it very small portions and I sit down and take the time to be in the moment to enjoy my small treat. That makes a huge difference so I don't feel deprived. I give into what I want.
Again, if you eat a healthy diet, you shouldn't need too many supplements. Many vegetables help control inflammation. Control inflammation and you help slow down aging and disease. Don't forget to move. Long-lived people still move. One man in Spain had to quit riding his bike at a 110 years old. So keep moving. Keep your muscles strong.

Cysteine is good for hair. You can find that in broccoli and other vegetables like that (cauliflower, etc). Eat these particular ones cooked, though. Protein is also very good to promote collagen. Make sure you get meat in your diet. More veggies than meat though, but get meat in there daily. Vitamin C and magnesium are two supplements I'd recommend because they both have critical steps in synthesizing collagen. Magnesium, key for hyaluronic acid.

Here are two things that also help collagen in different ways. Green tea and blueberries. I'll leave the long explanation up to this very reputable link:
http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=fightdz&dbid=6

Keep your muscles strong. It's essential for people with a connective tissue disorder like me to exercise and build strength in muscle to keep the connective tissue strong. You don't have to be manic about it to have an amazing effect. I exercise 3-4 times a week, mostly light weight training and nothing too intense. I can't do impact exercises, so I do what I can and it has helped a lot.

The most important thing you can do of all is to be happy. Worry and stress age you badly. Try to live in the moment as best you can and don't borrow worry from the future. Hard thing to do, but it is true. When you catch yourself worrying, just try to find a way to release it. It's aging you. Go find something to make you feel joyful.

Supplements can't do all that for you. Good luck!

don't tell me to go to my vet - he is useless. He asked me what type of dog I was holding!!! (a classicly marked, pure border collie)


Best answer:

Answer by sillybuttmunky
1. You should go to A vet. Not necessarily the "yours". Glucosamine, though you can buy it over the counter can be regulated in dosages. If you're dog needs 5mg and you end up buying a good brand (which ever that may be) in 15mg, you're poinsoning you dog.

2. Nutro brand dog food has glucosamine IN the dog food already. That may help as an additive.

Good Luck

Take collagen supplements/find a collagen creams. Retenoids are good but make your skin really sensitive to the sunlight. On that note, always wear sunscreen on your face and body, even on a rainy day. The sun is more harmful than you think.

I like Clinique eye cream, which makes your under-eye-area firmer and gets rid of bags. As for the colour, just use some concealer in the mornings (make sure to use primer first so it doesn't cake!)

What is the best vitamin e oil? Does it really work as well as people say it does?

Question by Technicolor Girl: What is the best vitamin e oil? Does it really work as well as people say it does?
I had a lot of questions about reducing/lightening some acne scars and a few stretch marks. All the answers pointed to vitamin e oil or cocoa butter or even both (also strivectin but you have to apply that 3 times a day and it's costly). I was wondering what brands might work best and where to get them? Any tips on how often to apply or other tricks you might have would be great too. Thanks!


Best answer:

Answer by naughty_mattress_monkey
I have used 400 IU's of vitamin E. Break apart the gel caplet and smear it on at bed time. It does take time to work depending upon the elastisty of your skin. If you are older and the elastisity has "gone away" so to speak, there is not anything short of surgery that will work.

What's the best anti-aging supplements for men?

Question by Marc M: What's the best anti-aging supplements for men?
What would you guys say is the best anti-aging supplements for men? Is there any that can reduce wrinkling and help support healthy skin function? Or possibly erase/minimize sun damage?


Best answer:

Answer by joeyrok
1-Vitamin E- Touted as the BEST supplement for fighting the signs of aging, this is one of THE most potent antioxidants. It is THE staple of anti-aging supplements.

2-A potent, quality men's multivitamin
It has been proven that taking a quality multivitamin can cut your risk of becoming sick by at least 50%!

3-Fish Oil- This supplement increases collagen production and helps proper collagen synthesis, ensuring soft, supple skin and a healthy glow.

4-Selenium. This antioxidant mineral plays a pivotal role in neutralizing free-radicals which means a better defense barrier of advanced aging of the skin.

This extremely powerful antioxidant could very well be your best defense against future cancer. Selenium is a trace element found naturally in foods like nuts, liver and animal proteins.
Studies suggest that healthy trace elements of selenium in your diet can reduce the risk of cancer in several organs by as much as 45%! Selenium supplementation has been reported widely to improve confused and depressed mental states, mental fatigue and anxiety symptoms.
So, a more efficient, happier, less confused mind ,better skin tone,cancer fighting properties and immune system defense system.

5-Carotenoids. A vitamin A supplement or carotenoid supplement helps protect skincell membranes. To boost carotenoids in the body take a supplement containing 10,000 I.U. Vitamin A daily and 50 MG of mixed carotenoids.

6-Vitamin C-This powerful antioxidant helps protect the cells in the skin that vitamin E and carotenoids can't reach enabling more powerful, COMPLETE skin cell protection.

7-Pycnogenol- A new age antioxidant, this supplement is slowly proving to be an effective anti-aging remedy. It works by delaying aging and slowing the rate at which skin, the cardiovascular tissues and organs break down.

8-Alpha Lipoic Acid- Another new age antioxidant supplement. Not only does this acid forestall the degeneration of cells, it also boosts the antioxidant powers of vitamins C and E.
