anti aging skin care - how to get rid of wrinkles fast with this facelift in a bottle
TRANSCRIPT
The 2015 Breakthrough In AntiAging Skin Care
When it comes to looking younger and fighting wrinkles
effectively, there has never been a better time to be alive.
For centuries we've been promised products that could
make us look and feel younger and healthier but it's only
recently that we've begun to have real breakthroughs in
technology that make it possible.
Skin creams these days that promise to fight wrinkles
actually can do what they say on the tub (at least the good
ones can) and those who are in the know can track down
some even more potent methods for getting smooth,
youthful complexions.
One of the most recent and truly incredible 'breakthroughs'
in this domain recently has been the (re)discovery of
phytoceramides.
These are plantderived lipids that are able to do
absolutely amazing things for the skin and that are
currently getting a lot of attention in the media.
.
In fact, Dr. Oz not long ago gave a talk on how to 'drop a
decade from your skin' and listed these miraculous
molecules as one of his three most important tips.
One of the reasons for all this attention is the fact that
phytoceramides were recently given FDA approval
following plenty of studies and research.
Moreover though, it's due to the fact that phytoceramides
are such a game changer in the way they work – which
we'll get into later on.
This is exciting stuff for anyone who wants to look
younger, healthier and more vibrant. And let's be honest…
who doesn't?
In this guide, we'll be looking indepth at what
phytoceramides are, how they work and what they can do
for your skin, your confidence and your success in many
capacities.
At the end, we'll also look at one of the most exciting
products that's about to come onto the market: Linq
Beauty's Power Phytoceramides.
This is a product that's made in the US and that uses only
the finest quality and most powerful ingredients.

Why Bother With Skin Products?
Before we dive in and look in detail at how this product
works, let's first take a look at how and why it's so
important to look after your skin.
Chances are that if you're reading this, you already have
some interest in getting healthier, younger looking skin.
Perhaps you're in your 30s and you're just starting to
notice those crow's feet around the eyes and the lines on
your forehead.
Maybe you're a little older and your face is starting to look
like a flow chart… When it gets to this point you can find
yourself constantly reminded of your age every time you
look in the mirror – which isn't what anyone wants!
Worse, you might find yourself cringing when you see
yourself in photographs, or even giving up on wearing
makeup and sexy clothes in a bid to try and avoid
attracting attention.
What you don't realize is that this shift in attitude actually
results in a shift in your bodylanguage too and a shift in
the image and the energy you put out.
Ultimately, you look less confident, less capable and less
sexy even from across the room. As you might imagine,
this can then in turn have significant knockon effects in
every other area of your life.
Some people will even start smiling less in photos in a bid
to try and look less wrinkled. Be honest… you've thought
about it right?
Smiling less is not the answer. In fact, smiling less is about
the least desirable outcome of all. The answer is to fight
back and to regain that firm, smooth skin that you had
years ago.
Products containing phytoceramides can help you to
regain much of your skin's youthful elasticity and even to
improve it in some other areas!
So, if you want to feel more confident, get treated
differently, start turning heads again and see
improvements in your career and love life, this is a
breakthrough that you need to read.
Phytoceramides have been described by professionals as
'miracle face lifts in bottles' and this can have amazing
consequences in every area of your life.
What Are Phytoceramides?
So with all that in mind, what precisely are phytoceramides
and how can they help you to get that youthful, healthy
looking skin that they seem to promise?
Well, as mentioned, phytoceramides are plantderived
lipids. 'Phyto' essentially means 'from plants' when it's in
any name – such as phytoecdysteroids which are another
useful molecule found in plants.
Lipids meanwhile are of course fats or fatty acids. These
are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. That
means that you can't dilute them in water (just try pouring
olive oil into a glass of water) but your body can absorb
them anyway.
So, so far, we know that phytoceramides are a form of
plant based fat. You can also get 'ceramides' which are
more commonly known, which are a similar type of lipid
that come from animals.
In fact, it is well known that ceramides are important for
the skin and this has been a focus of research for some
time. We all know about the importance of collagen and
elastin but we hear about ceramides less.
This is odd, as actually ceramides are just as important for
healthy skin if not more so. Ceramides in the skin are one
of the major components of the surface layer of the skin –
you know, the part people see.
Much more than collagen even, ceramides are responsible
for the way that your skin looks on the outside.
Another reason that ceramides are particularly interesting
– even when compared to other substances like collagen
– is that they're able to penetrate into the deepest layers of
the skin and help provide benefits from the inside out.
This is important as the skin on the surface of your face is
actually the result of the skin underneath – it's just the end
of the assembly line. Many creams that incorporate
collagen actually offer false promises.
The problem with collagen is that the molecules are too
large to pass deeper under the surface and seeing as
collagen needs to get deeper to work its magic, this results
in those molecules simply sitting on the surface doing
nothing until eventually getting washed off!
Phytoceramides and ceramides are different. That's
because they a) do have an effect on the outer layers of
the skin and b) are capable of penetrating much deeper.
What's more though, ceramides have also been shown in
countless studies to be absolutely critical for skin health.
Clinical studies have demonstrated time and again a
strong link between low levels of ceramides and low levels
of moisture.
The result is that skin looks damaged, dry and wrinkled
with more dead skin cells, more deep lines and more
flaking and uneven skin tone.
Ceramides then are very much the perfect ingredient that
manufacturers and that those keen to turn back the clock
on their wrinkles have been waiting for.
That's because they allow a product that has been
demonstrated scientifically to combat some of the most
damaging signs of aging and damaged skin.
What's more though, phytoceramides can also be taken as
capsules to replenish the body's natural supply of
phytoceramides.
By taking phytoceramides orally, you have no worry that
the molecules won't 'make it through' and instead you can
be sure they'll find the way into the blood stream and to
help the body repair its own skin.
The result? A product that is genuinely being called a
'Botox alternative' something with just as profound
results that is cheaper, less invasive and longer lasting.
How do Phytoceramides Work?
So phtoceramides are magic lipids that come from plants
and that have been shown to have amazing benefits for
our skin. But how precisely does all this work? What do
phytoceramides and ceramides actually do for the skin?
The answer is actually pretty much… everything as we will
see in a moment.
The most obvious point to make here is again that
ceramides are the single most abundant component of the
top layer of our skin (the stratum corneum of the
epidermis layer).
Alongside some other fats, the job of ceramide is to create
a water impermeable and protective layer that helps to
maintain our health.
As we get older, we produce less ceramide and that's one
of the big reasons you start to see your skin looking a little
less firm and healthy.
Note that this outer layer of skin is designed to be water
impermeable. This is important because the human body
needs to be waterproof yes but it's also important because
we don't want water getting out.
In other words, the stratum corneum helps to lock in
moisture and as this gets weaker so our skin becomes
drier and drier. As soon as you add in more moisture, you
reduce the appearance of wrinkles in your skin by
improving elasticity.
Of course dry, flaky skin also becomes a thing of the past.
At the same time, this also exposes the skin to more
environmental factors from changes in temperature, to
irritants to pollutants. All this helps to remove
inflammation, discoloration and the buildup of dead skin
cells.
The result is a much more even skin tone and much
smoother, softer skin like that of a porcelain doll to look at.
This way ceramides can even prevent infections.
There's more to using phytoceramides than that though.
For instance, they actually work as a stimulant which helps
the skin to produce more collagen.
That means you might get more of a collagen boost from a
ceramide supplement than you would from a collagen
cream! How's that for irony?
Oh and finally, ceramides also play an important role as a
signaling molecule that triggers apoptosis. In other words,
they are responsible for programming specific skin cells to
die. This helps to encourage the recycling of skin cells to
keep only the healthiest and most vibrant alive and visible
on the surface.
The point to remember here is that nothing 'acts in a
vacuum'.
When you give your body the means to make healthier
skin to seal in more moisture, this has knockon effects
throughout the rest of the body resulting in generally better
health and fewer dead skin cells, more collagen and all
kinds of other beneficial effects.
What's the Difference Between Ceramides and
Phytoceramides?
While phytoceramides are currently getting a lot of press
and a lot of buzz, ceramides in general have been around
for a lot longer. In fact, if you take a look at the ingredients
for any of the skin products you're currently using, you
may find that they already include ceramides.
If that's the case then, why bother with
phytoceramides?
What's all the fuss about? Note that this outer layer of skin
is designed to be water impermeable. This is important
because the human body needs to be waterproof yes but
it's also important because we don't want water getting
out.
Well, the main difference is that phytoceramides are
edible and will usually come in a capsule form.
Phytoceramides specifically actually come from rice and
sweet potato and that means they are perfectly natural
and safe to eat.
And there is a world of difference between applying a
cream to your face and swallowing a tablet. That's not to
knock the effectiveness of ceramides mind – as we saw
earlier they actually can penetrate more deeply into the
skin.
But still the effect is much less. When you run something
into your skin, there's no guarantee that it's going to get
used still. If you rub chicken on your muscles, do they
grow?
No – you have to consume the chicken, at which point the
body goes about breaking it down, absorbing the amino
acids into the blood stream and then taking them to the
muscles to grow.
And the same goes for phytoceramides. When you take
these capsules, you'll actually be able to provide your
body with the raw materials it needs to make healthier and
stronger skin and as a result your existing skin will slowly
be replaced with skin that is better at holding in moisture
and at retaining elasticity.
This is a far more effective way then to get fresh, healthy
looking skin over time.
You also have to realize that 'ceramides' include six
slightly different types of lipid (rather than being a
single substance). The good news is that phytoceramides
are chemically identical to the naturally occurring
ceramides in your skin, which means they're the very
highest quality in terms of effectiveness.
Ceramides in other forms would typically have come from
animal sources, such as bovine fats. That's another
reason to choose plantbased products instead – the idea
of rubbing cow fat on your face isn't terribly appealing!
The phytoceramides in Linq Beauty's Power
Phytoceramides comes from rice rather than sweet
potatoes by the way, which is the most potent form. Why
choose ricebased phytoceramides over wheat or potato?
The answer is gluten which can cause an allergic reaction
for some people.
Of course you might at this point have another question –
if you can get phytoceramides from rice and sweet
potatoes, why not just eat those?
The answer of course is that when you take
phytoceramides in capsule form – such as with the
extremely powerful Linq Beauty's Power
Phytoceramides – you will be getting them in much
higher quantities.
Actually, when you eat a sweet potato or rice, the amount
of phytoceramides contained within is tiny.
Here, the phytoceramide is what you would call the 'active
component' and it's only by removing that one effective
substance and gathering it that you can create a highly
powerful and effective supplement.
A Recent Study
As mentioned, studies back up the effectiveness of
phytoceramides and there's a clear link between
ceramides in the skin and how healthy that skin looks.
But it's a one thing finding a link between a substance and
an outcome and quite another to demonstrate 'causality' or
to show that a substance actually works in productized
form.
In other words, the theory is good but how does the reality
stack up?
The good news is that we don't have to guess: there have
already been studies asking just that.
One such study was conducted at Osaka City University.
The University study was comprised of 33 patients (6 men
and 27 women) who took phytoceramides in a capsule
form for six weeks, on a daily basis.
During this period, the condition of their skin was carefully
and objectively monitored and by the end it was found that
they had seen huge improvements in the magnitude of
plastic surgery.
This has only added fuel to the fire as more people claim
that phytoceramides offer a true 'fountain of youth' for
middle aged women.
Studies have also been performed using ceramides. In
one study Japanese, ceramides were dripped onto the
eyelids of participants and it was found that their skin
repair improved.
It was also said that the "water content of eyelid skin was
significantly increased after treatment".
In another French study, topical ceramides were used in
conjunction with other skin lipids and this again helped to
improve skin repair and also to reduce dermatitis and
signs of ageing.
The conclusion of all this evidence? Ceramides are
highly effective at improving skin health (no surprise
as they make up around 40% of your skin's weight!)
and phytoceramides are even better.
An Ancient Japanese Treatment
Often when a new miracle supplement, cure or cream
becomes 'big news' in the Western World, it is actually old
news in other areas.
It seems that traditional remedies and natural treatments
that have been used for centuries often actually turn out to
be the best treatments.
And really that makes perfect sense – why would people
rub something on their face for thousands of years if it
really didn't have any effect?
Well, this is exactly the case with phytoceramides which
once again have a long history of traditional use.
In this particular case, phytoceramide use can be traced
back to Japan. Here, they have been used for centuries by
women to rejuvenate their skin and to help create a more
youthful look. This was very important in ancient Japan
when smooth skin was a highly sought after trait for
women.
Before finding its way into the lab, phytoceramides were
next picked up by Hollywood.
Word has it that many wellknown celebrities began using
phytoceramides after seeing how effective they were for
the Japanese.
The Hollywood demographic is often one of the most
willing to try new supplements and products in the pursuit
of beauty.
Health Benefits and Side Effects
All this probably has you very excited for the potential of phytoceramides. If you can't wait to learn more, then we recommend check it out [HERE]
But while these lipids are probably already sounding pretty
exciting, we still haven't covered all the benefits of the
compounds yet.
For instance, did you know that there are also additional
health benefits to using phytoceramides?
Earlier we saw that ingesting phytoceramides to increase
ceramides and improve the integrity of the outer layers of
your skin would help to make you less susceptible to
irritants.
Well, included among those irritants is 'UV' rays.
Ultraviolet rays of course are the rays from the sun that
are most responsible for causing cancer.
When you use phytoceramides, you'll be able to reduce
the effect that the sun has on your skin.
At the same time, ceramides help with the regulation of
your body temperature and with the production of
vitamin D.
Combined, these effects help you to get more positive
benefits from sunlight and fewer negative ones.
Then there's the fact that ceramides can prevent skin
infections and inflammation and may thus prevent
immune compromise that leads to general illness.
When taking any new supplement or using any new skin
product though, it's always important to check the potential
side effects and allergic reactions to ensure you won't be
liable to any ill effects. So what are the side effects of
phytoceramides?
Well, the good news is that there are none. Remember:
ceramides are actually produced naturally in the body
and make up the vast proportion of your outer layers of
skin. If phytoceramides caused side effects, then we'd all
already have them!
There is only one potential problem that can come from
using some phytoceramide products and that's a reaction
to the gluten that comes from wheatbased products.
When you use a rice based product though such as
Power Phytoceramides, there is no risk of any kind of
reaction.
Still though, it's never a bad idea to consult with your
doctor before starting any new course of supplement or
medication.
What You Can Expect From Phytoceramides
With all that in mind then, what should you actually expect
to happen when you start using phytoceramides? How
quickly can you expect to see results and what should
those results look like in real terms?
Firstly, to answer the question of how quickly you should
expect to see results, it's key to remember that 'mileage
will vary'.
Everyone is different and the current condition of your skin
as well as the amount of ceramide you currently produce
will of course impact on how quickly the changes come
and how visible they are.
That said though, it should only take a few weeks to start
noticing changes. Remember, when we look at many of
the studies on ceramides and phytoceramides, the results
were shown often after only a week to six weeks.
By a few weeks at most, you should start to notice
changes. Try taking a before and after photo so you can
do a comparison!
And what do you expect these changes to actually look
like?
The most obvious change is going to be in how much
more supple and flexible your skin is. Your skin will be
less broken on a microscopic level and this in turn will
mean it is better at retaining moisture – something that
will be very apparent in the springiness of your skin.
Remember, you'll have better collagen production too and
this will further help your skin to look full, youthful and
springy.
This will also combine with a more even tone that makes
your skin look generally more porcelain and more like the
cover models on the magazines – remember, this is how
many of them report to have achieved their beautiful skin
tones in the first place!
All this will also contribute to the thing that you're probably
most excited about – and that's a huge reduction in
wrinkles. By increasing the ability of your skin to retain
moisture, by making it springier and by strengthening the
outer layer, you'll find that all those thin (and not so thin)
lines start to fade away pretty fast.
Another benefit we mentioned of these products was that
they could help with the recycling of skin cells.
This basically then means that you'll reduce the number of
dead skin cells on the outer surface of your skin which
make your lines look deeper and which make your skin
look healthier and give it more color.
This is what makes skin appear to 'glow' and what makes
you look really healthy and even in your skin tone.
Blotchiness will be gone, patches of dry skin will fade and
you'll generally have softer and smoother skin all round.
Basically, the result is as though you air brushed yourself
– or as all the experts keep saying – as though you had
Botox.
How to Make the Most of These Products
When you sign up to learn more about Linq Beauty's
Power Phytoceramides as an insider, you'll learn more
about how to take and use this substance specifically.
As a general rule though, these products are designed to
be taken orally once a day. They will also normally work
best when taken with food, as this helps the body to
digest and use the nutrients (in this case the
phytoceramides).
There are other things you can do to get more from these
products too.
A good lifestyle for instance can work wonders and you
should always make sure you're eating a balanced and
nutritious diet which can further improve absorption and
which can further support the effects of the
phytoceramides.
Sleep is also crucially important, as it's when we sleep
that our body goes to work on recycling and repairing our
body and our cells.
Remember, phytoceramides are about giving the body
what it needs to rebuild the skin and that means it needs
healthy sleep in order to actually make use of those raw
materials.
Exercise will also help.
Finally, combine phytoceramides with the right skin
regime. In particular, using an exfoliating cream can do
wonders when it comes to exposing more of the healthy
skin beneath the surface and encourage the recycling of
that layer.
