If you want to permanently get rid of skin aging symptoms like wrinkles, fine line, saggy skin, age spots and dark uneven skin complexion quickly and effortlessly – then the best alternative for you is to find an anti aging solution that contains natural ingredients that counter the primary causes of skin aging. This is the most fundamental skin care tip.

The ingredients are the heart of any skin care product. That is what determines whether the anti aging solution shall be outstanding and effective or it shall be totally futile and useless.

The biggest reason for skin aging is the loss of vital youth giving proteins called collagen and elastin from your skin. They are responsible for giving us firm, elastic, pliant and supple skin.

Here’s a quick medical fact. As you begin to age around the late twenties, your skin begins to lose around 1.5% of its collagen and elastin fibers each year. And you don’t need to lose all 100% of these skin proteins to get wrinkles and fine lines.

So, that’s the reason why we start to lose our skin firmness and suppleness as we start to enter our thirties and forties. And the secret skin care tip for anti aging is exactly the opposite of this.

The secret anti aging skin care tip is that you should find out such natural ingredients that stimulate the production of your own body’s collagen and elastin. As the body resumes its abundant production of these vital youth giving proteins, wrinkles and fines lines shall disappear just like an ice cream melts in the sunshine!

Here is another super cool skin care tip that not many people know about – Don’t get into the collagen skin cream trap. A lot of people get into this misconception that if collagen is good for the skin health, then using skin care creams with collagen in them shall be good for anti aging and skin rejuvenation.

But, this is far from the reality. Scientific evidence proves that the collagen molecule in skin creams is too large in size to penetrate the skin cells.

And collagen containing pills are also equally futile. Its structure is too complex to assimilate in the collagen matrix found in our body. Thus collagen based creams, lotions and pills are all a sheer waste of money. Stay away from them.

Thanks to innovations and developments in modern medical science, such natural ingredients have been pioneered that work magically in anti aging and rejuvenation. Cynergy TK is one such ingredient that has its origins in New Zealand.

It stimulates natural production of collagen and elastin proteins in the skin. This leads to new skin cell regrowth! It makes the skin smooth, young and radiant. It improves the skin’s moisture retention significantly and gives it brand new elasticity.

It is even used by the Hollywood celebrities to maintain their gorgeous young looks, but this is not a skin care tip that they would share with you!

The critical steps remain the same across all marketing channels:
– Drive Visibility/Awareness
– Generate traffic
– Increase conversion

Let’s have a look on 5 trends for 2010 on how brands would connect the dots:

TREND #1: CONSISTENCY OF BRAND EXPERIENCE ACROSS CHANNELS
The consumer will go through different steps before, during and after its purchase. The nature and the type of experience across those different points of contacts are crucial for the brand and the client. Especially as clients expect a richer, more honest and mature relationships with their brands whatever the type of products (from FMCG to Luxury brands). This Relationship Building would need to match the diversity of attitudes and behaviors of clients but with one common factor: consistency.

Microsoft transformed a digital experience into a concrete one by establishing the Windows Café in Paris for supporting the launch of Windows 7.

I have done in a previous post an analysis on Nespresso as a good example of this trend (analysis available on my Blog).

TREND #5: TARGETED OR SEGMENTED OFFERS
Consumers look for more and more specific and specialized products. It could go beyond the well developed approach of customization.

Capitalizing on nostalgic consumers
Vintage products are more and more popular. Market Publique is a market place specialized in this product category and gathers buyers and sellers into a community around premium and high end fashion vintage collections.

The cosmetic brand Body Shop has decided to target their nostalgic consumers and to re-launch a successful product line from the 80′s which had been discontinued.

TREND #2: ENGAGING CONSUMERS ON RELEVANT TOPICS FOR THEM
Consumers expect interactions with brands which promote their areas of interests.

Etam (French lingerie brand and retail chain) has multiplied by a 3 its Facebook community by organizing an online “fashion defilé”. The initiative was aligned with the target audience as 85% of the new members were women.

In France, Coca Cola and Skyrock (leading FM radio and blogging platform amongst teenagers) joined their forces for setting-up a Community to promote active engagement of young people for supporting social projects. This collaboration on the social responsibility theme between 2 brands having the same target audience but not competing directly could be a source of inspiration for other business sectors.

TREND #3: HELPING CONSUMER’S MOBILITY WITH MOBILE SERVICES
The Warm Cookie Radar from Specialty’s Cafe & Bakery sends email alerts to consumers when fresh cookies have just been prepared.

Lufthansa launched in October 2009, a mobility service MySkyStatus. Travelers are informed in real time on the status of their flights via email, Facebook or Twitter.

Obviously, Foursquare is a good illustration of “what’s coming next” in terms of localization and interactivity. This service allows you to tag interesting places in your city (restaurants, bars, shops), share it with your friends and stay in contact with them when you are mobile. Meanwhile, you collect points to discover new places from other communities.

TREND #4: EXPERIENCE AT RETAIL IS A MATTER OF INNOVATION AND EXCLUSIVITY
Sephora have launched their new concept of flagship stores in Italy (Milan) . In this new shop everything is done to transform the client’s visit into an outstanding experience where services take a major role: Beauty Bar, make-up school, shows and even pop-up Spa.

Products are not neglected as exclusive collaborations have been enriched over years with Marc Jacobs and Laduree (luxury cookies…but delicious) in Paris for developing special product lines.

The store moves from a retail place to a lifestyle place. In the meantime, the synergy with ecommerce has been reinforced. In France, the online sales channel represents the #1 shop in terms of traffic and the 4th in terms of turnover.

In the luxury industry, Fabergé decided to push exclusivity to its limit. The brand’s website does not display the collection of products without an individual registration done by a sales agent. This step will trigger a private appointment for a presentation of the collection online. The rest of the website  focuses on the history and the philosophy of the brand.

Community targeting
Community of clients or users could be the back-bone from product development to dedicated commercialization models.

The direct-sales cosmetic brand Mark (sister brand of Avon) launched an eShop on their Facebook Page. Their young consumers can identify their nearest sales rep amongst their community or take benefit of the Fan page to purchase directly.
On the other hand, the US retail chain Marbles offers games to support and develop mental agility amongst senior people. 200 products are categorized by the type of mental function to maintain or improve.

The fashion sector is advanced in this practice. Clients amongst their community could lead the product design before sharing their creation (Trendy Workshop)  or voting on different designs before initiating the final production (ModCloth.com).

We will see over 2010 how those trends would be confirmed…or not!

The above general tips are valid and will help if you’re willing to do them. However, the following 3 skin care tips are more specific in how they can help you achieve a healthier more youthful looking skin.

Tip 1. Moisturize your skin… Probably the biggest skin issue people complain about today is dry skin.

Most women will moisturize daily or at least a few times a week. Most men on the other hand, probably don’t use a moisturizer at all and suffer with their dry skin unnecessarily.

Use good quality natural emollients, anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals daily to moisturize, hydrate and nourish your skin. Ingredients like… avocado oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, macadamia oil, crodamol CP and D-Panthenol are good ones to look out for.

Tip 2. Re-build collagen and elastin skin cell proteins.

Fine lines and wrinkles start appearing on most people around 40 years old. This depends of course on whether you looked after your skin when you were younger.

The main reasons your skin deteriorates and gets wrinkled, are natural aging, exposure to daily environmental pollutants, harsh chemicals and sun damage. This results in a gradual degradation of your collagen and elastin skin cell proteins.

Collagen, elastin and keratin are responsible for your skins underlying structure, strength, thickness, spring and elasticity. To regain these skin attributes you need natural ingredients that are capable of producing new skin cells.

Two substances that can stimulate new collagen and elastin cell re-growth are Cynergy TK”(TM)” with functional keraton”(TM)” and Coenzyme Q10 in a special nano-emulsion form.

Another substance Phytessence Wakame an extract from Japanese sea kelp helps collagen and elastin fibers retain their glue.

Tip 3. Commit to a daily skin care regime.

It’s absolutely pointless taking any notice of skin care tips if your not willing to make a commitment to doing them daily.

You can go out and buy the best most fantastic skin care creams ever made and not get any positive results if your don’t use them daily and as instructed by the manufacturer.

The line of skin care products and supplements I am getting results with, and chose to use daily come from a small manufacturer in New Zealand. They have a complete range of all natural women’s and men’s products including active day and restorative night creams, body lotions, eye contour gel, deep cleansing and hydrating masks.

Finally, if you really want to get positive results from your next skin cream purchase. Chose the best range of active natural skin care substances you can get. Start and continue with a proper daily skin care regime.

At my website, you can find more skin care tips and information on ingredients that can contribute to you getting a healthier more youthful looking skin, that I chose to use daily.

Straight and wavy hair tends to get oily very quickly because of its structure. This is why it has to be washed quite often. Black hair is different. It doesn’t get oily quickly because of its tightly curled structure. This structure keeps sebum, the natural oil that the scalp produces, from flowing along the hair shaft in Black hair. That is why Black hair is dry, and that is why it should not be overwashed. Too much washing will cause it to dry out even further.

First of all you have to love your hair. You have to love it because it makes you look good, it gives you real advantages. But belive me that there are hundreds of people that hate their hair. And that’s not good because if you don’t like your hair then you will probably neglect it. You shouldn’t hate your hair because, even if it’s not such a beautiful type of hair like you see at other people on the street there are many ways to make it look real good.

One of the first items you will need, a Black hair care essential, is a good quality hydrating shampoo. You may need to spend a little more money than you have in the past, but an intense hydrating shampoo will make a noticeable difference to the quality of your hair. The cleansers are gentler and more concentrated, and you will use less of it, which will save you money in the long run.

Application of yoghurt is a good conditioner. In Asia, the age old concept of applying henna to the hair holds good, Henna is extremely good for conditioning the hair naturally. Use a little brahmi and awla powder in it to heighten the nutrition. Dandruff is cured with regular cleansing of the scalp with areentha or soap nuts mixture. The soap nut needs to be soaked overnight and this is a perfect replacement for the chemical shampoo.

Ponytails – Ponytails are all about attention to detail. Carefully placed and with slight quirks that are designed to catch the eye and intrigue. Once again contradictions are key, using multiple textures within the ponytail is enough to provide subtle detail. Piecing out selected strands of hair, or using asymmetric partings are just small easy ways to achieve little differences. Hair is also being “brushed back” into itself, or teased for a more dramatic result.

Use coconut milk as an inexpensive alternative to salon hot oil treatments. Apply coconut milk onto scalp and hair with a cotton ball. Leave on overnight and shampoo in the morning.

A bit of beauty advice first: Don’t be afraid to get a makeover if you feel your make up isn’t quite working anymore. Remember as the seasons change, as you grow older, or even as life events change, they can all affect how you look. Skin tone and colors can darken or lighten, Hair color can do the same. So stop in and get some expert advice on the right colors for you whenever you think things look a bit off.

A single beauty tip: Remember – as a general rule: less is more. That has always been true. Apply your make up with that in mind. Keep to a hair style that does not have everyone just noticing your hair. Blend and harmonize.

That beauty advice needs to be stressed again. Less is more. Interestingly, most men are not attracted to an overly done woman. He falls in love with the real you, don’t try to fake him out. Do what you can to make yourself look great, without overdoing it!

A few natural beauty tips:
• Walk tall. Keep your head up and your shoulders back. Your good posture not only allows energy to flow through your body better, but it also can help you look a bit slimmer.
• Keep your body toned with an exercise program that does not build bulky muscles.
• To prevent dark circles under your eyes, try sleeping with two or three pillows.
• Keep a positive attitude and a happy outlook. Angry or antagonistic attitudes, postures, and countenances cause your beauty to dissipate, and make the wrinkles come a whole lot sooner.

A few more beauty tips:
• Use a good facial soap – splurge on this!
• Make sure you keep your skin toned and moisturized
• If you are in a hot, dry, sunny climate, keep your sun block on!
• Use a sun block designed for the face on the face!
• Whenever you wear perfume, you must make sure that the scent works with the chemistry of your body. Not all perfumes work for all women!

It includes a rewarding exercise program is also essential to staying fit and helping to keep off unwanted pounds. These free beauty tips really help you live a long life, and not just look great!
