2009 Has Been A Great Year

5 Easy Ways to Avoid Gaining Weight During the Holidays

The holidays are a time to share with family and can provide you with many lasting memories. However, if you're not careful shoveling cookies and pie in your mouth before ringing in the New Year can have a lasting impact on your waistline. Here are 5 easy tips to stay fit and avoid the holiday bulge:
• Keep exercising! Just because it's cold outside and there are presents under the tree doesn't mean it's time to skip the gym. Even if you decide to pass on hitting the gym, take a walk around the block to burn some of those extra calories you're consuming.

• Portion control! Avoid loading up your plate before even taking a bite. It's true - your eyes are bigger than your stomach. Eat a little and then decide if you want to venture back for seconds.

• Don't think about food! We know this is impossible, but studies have shown if you think about the act of eating you will actually eat more. Keep your mind on holiday cheer and not on holiday treats.

• Eat throughout the day! This may seem ridiculous, but it's widely accepted that eating more smaller meals is better for your metabolism than a few large ones.

• Watch what you drink! It's easy to rack up a few 1,000 calories while you indulge in seasonal decadent drinks. One serving of the average eggnog will set you back roughly 350 calories and nearly 20 grams of fat.

HydroPeptide®: the Leader in Peptide Based Skin Care

The HydroPeptide® collection utilizes more peptides, at higher concentrations than any other skin care company to provide significant anti-aging results.

Peptides are present in every living cell and possess a variety of biochemical activities. Peptides were first synthesized in 1975 as medicine used during childbirth and are now used in almost everything. However, the power that peptides have in skin care wasn’t realized until earlier this decade. In 2004, HydroPeptide® became the first skin care company to incorporate peptides into every product. Currently, the HydroPeptide® collection includes 19 different peptides to boost collagen and fight wrinkles.

What are peptides? Peptides are cell messengers that nourish, repair, and send neural-messages, which naturally stimulate diminished collagen and other important skin tissues as well as relax repetitive wrinkle-causing facial expressions. Peptides are found in nature, but are lab-enhanced for safety, maximum efficacy and stability. HydroPeptide® is the first skin care company to include peptides into every product and includes them at the highest clinical concentrations. This is significant because different peptides stimulate different collagen, elastin, and other parts of the skin matrix. One of the great aspects of peptides is their versatility. These cell messengers provide restorative results as well as preventative benefits.

“Having peptides in every HydroPeptide® product gives our company a distinct advantage over others,” said Dr. Louise Peck, PhD and founder of HydroPeptide®. “The results peptides provide are cumulative, so having them in every product makes perfect sense. The 19 peptides in our collection are the most scientifically advanced and are what make HydroPeptide® so effective.”

HydroPeptide® products will PURIFY, RELAX, NOURISH, STIMULATE, HYDRATE and PROTECT skin addressing all aspects of the Simply Ageless Skin Key™. The Simply Ageless Skin Key™ is a stress free guide to looking ageless. The founder of HydroPeptide®, Dr. Louise Peck, believes anti-aging products must tackle each aspect to effectively counter-act aging. HydroPeptide® simplifies life by addressing as many elements as possible in as few steps as possible. Go to hydropeptide.com to learn more.

HydroPeptide® products are available in prestige retail locations nationwide and at http://hydropeptide.com. Paraben free. Phthlate free. Formulated for all skin types. Not tested on animals.

About HydroPeptide®
HydroPeptide® takes the most advanced, scientifically proven skin care elements and simplifies your beauty routine with the SIMPLY AGELESS SKIN KEY™, giving you a complete map to beautiful, healthy, ageless skin. The multifaceted HydroPeptide® takes the hassle out of your already hectic and complicated life.

Rauscher Bekke: Con Artist?

Is this company one big con artist? Rauscher Bekke, the company behind Dermapril, Dazzle White and Res-V-Life, is not looking out for consumers. The company publishes false claims about brands including: HydroPeptide, Olay Regenerist, ReVive, Thermage, HTY Gold, Resurgence, Lift-SP , Hydrolyze and Evolence. It is ridiculous. It will be interesting to see if they are contacted by the FDA under the new guidelines. We don't need to say anything else because the public is already fighting back:

• "I was scammed"
• "This company is a fraud"
• "They took money out of my account"
• "The better business bureau will hear about this"
• "There is no such website as www.dermapril.com. I repeatedly get an error message that there is no website at this address. And, this is the address to which we are directed if we wish to cancel after our risk-free trial. So, I have to ask - Is this intentional. Makes it pretty hard to cancel."

This eye serum contains 12% I-LOXYL, 7 peptides and 10 antioxidants including Vitamin K (to help reduce dark circles) and Vitamin A (to help with the puffies). The eye cream is targeted to reduce puffiness and instantly lift… and it really helped. Within a minute or two, my eyes were beautiful without makeup again! It doesn’t mention a tone corrector – eye brightening result, but wowie does it show! I love this stuff. It made my eyes absolutely “Pop”.

Seattle Based Businesses Form Local Partnership

HydroPeptide®, an anti-aging skin care company, is teaming up locally with InSpa® to bring peptide based skin care to spa-goers in Washington and California.

The digital age has transformed how business is conducted. Social media, virtual meetings and e-mail are just a few of the things that are making the days of face-to-face business and handshake deals disappear. Mutually beneficial local partnerships are unique and even rarer given the current state of the economy. One of the benefits of a local alliance is the added personal communication that ultimately provides better quality and service to customers. The collaboration of HydroPeptide® and InSpa® is a perfect match and is helping to keep revenue and jobs in the state of Washington.

The HydroPeptide® Complete Eye and Lash Restoration kit will debut in all InSpa® locations Oct. 5. The complete HydroPeptide® collection will be available in all InSpa® locations Oct. 15. InSpa® currently has eleven locations in Washington and California and InSpa® is the fastest-growing day spa retailer in the country.

“We are ecstatic to partner with a local company whose mission of caring for people, as well as their skin, matches our own,” said Colleen Stone, CEO and Founder of InSpa®.

Colleen Stone, former Merle Norman executive, founded InSpa® in 1999 with the vision of providing affordable, high-quality spa products and services in a friendly, welcoming environment. InSpa®’s dedication to simplicity, quality and value is designed to enable anyone to enjoy the health and emotional benefits of spa products and services.

“We’re excited to work with a local business because it affords us the opportunity to meet face-to-face and form a synergistic relationship,” said Chris Pachuilo, Vice President of HydroPeptide®. “I feel like we’ve already learned a lot from each other.”

HydroPeptide® will PURIFY, RELAX, NOURISH, STIMULATE, HYDRATE and PROTECT skin addressing every aspect of the Simply Ageless Skin Key™.

HydroPeptide® Sales Soar while Latisse® is Lashed by the FDA

The Food and Drug Administration has warned Allergan Inc., the maker of Latisse®, that the web site for its eyelash thickener is misleading because it avoids or downplays risks associated with the product.

HydroPeptide® Lash Longer Fuller Lusher is quickly becoming America’s favorite new lash product due to its drug-free formulation and impressive results. On Sept. 10, the FDA sent a letter to Allergan Inc. informing the company that they have misbranded Latisse® and are in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The violation is that “the Latisse® site either doesn't mention potential side effects including bacterial eye infection, allergic reactions, excess hair growth outside the intended treatment area, and permanent changes in iris and eyelid pigmentation, or presents them in small text that is much less prominent than statements about the product's effectiveness.”

HydroPeptide® Lash’s popularity is increasing in part because companies like Allergan, Inc., Athena Cosmetics, Inc., and Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc. include drugs in their products or have included them in the past. In 2007, U.S. Marshals seized 12,682 applicator tubes of Jan Marini’s Age Intervention Eyelash. The FDA requested that the products be seized because the “use of Age Intervention Eyelash may cause other adverse effects in certain people due to the bimatoprost, including macular edema (swelling of the retina) and uveitis (inflammation in the eye), which may lead to decreased vision.”

HydroPeptide® Lash does not contain “glaucoma type meds” like Latisse®, Peter Thomas Roth Lashes To Die for, Lilash or MD Lash Factor. HydroPeptide Lash Longer Fuller Lusher is drug-free and is the first product without prostaglandin to pioneer the power of plant stem cell and growth factor technology to nourish and revive lashes and brows.

“We would never put drugs with harmful side effects in our products,” said Dr. Louise Peck, PhD and founder of HydroPeptide®. “That’s just not something we believe in at HydroPeptide®. We fully disclose our ingredients and I’m sure our customers appreciate it.”

HydroPeptide® Lash will NOURISH, STIMULATE, HYDRATE, and PROTECT skin addressing many aspects of the Simply Ageless Skin Key™. Dr. Peck’s philosophy is the Simply Ageless Skin Key™ which is a stress free guide to looking ageless. Anti-aging products must tackle each aspect to effectively counter-act aging. HydroPeptide® simplifies life by addressing as many elements as possible in as few steps as possible. Go to HydroPeptide.com to learn more.

HydroPeptide® Lash Longer Fuller Lusher is currently available in prestige retail locations nationwide and at http://hydropeptide.com. HydroPeptide® Lash is .17 ounces and retails for $130. Formulated for all skin types.

April Rain Skin Science Pours

HydroPeptide Serum Reviewed and Recommended

It is nearly a year ago since I first came across Azure Cosmeceuticals Hydropeptide Serum. I was excited to see a sophisticated concoction of peptides and epidermal growth factors and I was about to whip out my credit card when I looked further down the ingredients list and my purchase was put off by peptides, triethanolamine, silicones and phenoxyethanol. Then a few weeks ago, Azure sent me the Hydropeptide Serum ($130) and it seems to have been reformulated to appeal to my flexible friend (although there is still one silicone and the phenoxyethanol is a bit high up the list for my liking). I have been testing it ever since and have noticed a smoother, brighter complexion, diminishing fine lines and a more even skin tone.

Product Review – HydroPeptide Eye Cream

The ones I’ve found in the past always seem to be good at moisturizing, but they don’t do much else. So, when my friend recommended HydroPeptide Anti-Wrinkle Dark Circle Concentrate, I thought it would be another cream with big promises but no results. Lucky for me, I was wrong.
I’ve been using the eye cream for six weeks now, and I’m really pleased with the results. My dark circles are definitely less noticeable. I can actually leave the house without concealer!

The texture is neither too sticky nor too wet, and the color is a natural pink without overdoing the shine factor. My lips appear noticeably fuller and smoother.”

Beauty Experiment: Thicker Lashes with Hydropeptide Lash

Posted by BeautyXposé:

We could see the beginnings of something happening within the first week of use, and after a couple of weeks, we definitely saw the difference. While lashes didn’t erupt into a lush imitation of a mascara commercial, growth did occur. What we didn’t think about was that new lashes would grow in and be shorter than full-grown lashes, which isn’t a terribly noticeable thing, but is funny when examining them in a mirror. It also thickened the lash line. Lashes not only grew in next to other lashes, but also slightly behind them.

Raindrop-Shaped Jar

A jar designed exclusively for April Rain Skin Science’s Night Rainew skin cream was inspired by the shape of a raindrop. HCT Packaging (Santa Monica, CA) studied lenticular images of raindrops in order to accurately create a package that would match the design brief. “The floating raindrop shape was the cornerstone for all of our design iterations,” says Adrian Apodaca, HCT Packaging’s senior engineer. “We wanted, however, to find the right shape for the acrylic outer casing to complement the curvature of the inner packaging.” She continues, “The final shape of the outer casing gave minimized refractive distortion of the inner packaging, while allowing us the best opportunity to display the distinct figure of the jar.”

Beauty Experiment: Day Rainew by April Rain Skin Science

At BeautyXposé, we’re always a tad skeptical when we get a product claiming to cure or drastically reduce wrinkles and crevices (we prefer to think of them as the result of time-honored triumphs, thank you). So when we received Day Rainew® by April Rain Skin Science, we paused after reading that independent lab studies found its proprietary collagen-boosting ingredients, HydroPeptide®, reduced fine lines and wrinkles by as much as 63% in just 30 days. As our duty to you, dear readers, we enlisted the help of a FOB (Friend of BeautyXposé) to help us put the product to our own, “independent test.”

April Rain Night Rainew

Posted by Aly Walansky:

For the last few weeks, I’ve been noticing my skin look a lot healthier…and I have a pretty good idea of who to thank for it.
Nightly drinking (and not of the water kind) got my skin super dehydrated, and I had to find a way of quenching that thirst.
April Rain’s Night Rainew is an ultra-hydrating night repair crème that promises to provide long-lasting moisture.
I’ve been using it every night after cleansing, and as I feel my face right now, it feels supple and smooth - exactly how I want it to feel - and it feels that way until I wake up in the morning. Skin that is dried out looks aged - and as I am just hitting 30, I don’t want to look any older than I already am! As it’s become healthier, I am looking younger (if not young, sigh. Night Rainew has HydroPeptides in it, which are 100% organic and said to help get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. It also includes antioxidants Buddleja and Echinacea, also age-defying. Let’s face it, I can use all the help I can get.

Hydropeptide Eye Extreme Dark Circle Concentrate

"You may not want to say the name of this product more than once (even without aforementioned medication), but once you try it, you’ll definitely be hooked. It claims to be a "targeted eye treatment to reduce puffiness and instantly lift," and-against all odds!- we actually found that to be true. We also noticed that it reduced dark circles and redness (as claimed), as well as color irregularity, while gently plumping up fine lines.Some of the effects were nearly immediate (the slight plumping, better texture, smoother skin), and some took a few months to see (diminished lines, more perfect skin tone), but we found this to be among our very favorite products in terms of promised effects vs. those actually delivered."

Beauty Review. April Rain Skin Science Night Rainew

Posted by: Lauaren Dimet Waters

Anyone who knows me can tell you I am always on the hunt for the ultimate youth elixir in a jar. This is much to my husband's dismay as our home is literally littered with jars of cream. Every once in a while one really proves itself be shared with our readers. The research we do in the name of ageless beauty! Here is a new one I really like...April Rain Skin Science's Night Rainew®. It's a groundbreaking luxury night repair cream that combines cutting-edge science with the most potent, life-giving essences of nature for complete skin renewal (that is clearly their jargon). With 21 hydrating elements, ECOCERT® organic ingredients, and the exclusive HydroPeptide®, Night Rainew® has every element proven by fresh science to deliver on our promise to achieve real results. HydroPeptide® is the age-defying breakthrough behind April Rain. The select blend of powerful age-fighting peptides and neuropeptides found in HydroPeptide® defend against all facets of skin aging and sets a new standard in anti-aging skin care. Containing the highest degree of effective age-defying peptides and intelligent time-released hydration that deeply hydrate cells, plumping them for a more lifted appearance, and relaxing wrinkle-causing facial expressions.

What did I think? Well as soon as I put it on my face, my skin felt super hydrated and soft. When I woke up, my skin was still very hydrated and soft, which means it absorbed into my skin and not my pillow. After about a week I noticed my skin looked much better and dare I say? A little younger! There is also a Day Rainew® which I did not try. Here is a little tidbit...Desperate Housewives creator, Marc Cherry, personally requested the Rainew collection for all the cast when they return mid July for season 6. See if you notice a difference! To learn more about Night Rainew® and to order for $129 visit aprilrainskinscience.com

The Science of Aging Skin

By: Lydia Sarfati
From the moment a person is born, aging begins. Although you are powerless to the natural process of aging, what is done each day will affect the skin later. The rate at which the skin bears the signs of aging is dependent not only upon chronology and genetics, but also on the environment, a very large factor working against the skin that many tend to overlook during their youth.

REVIEW: April Rain Night Rainew

Posted by: for the love of beauty
HydroPeptide is the age-defying breakthrough behind April Rain skincare. Their select blend of powerful age-fighting peptides and neuropeptides found in HydroPeptide defends against all facets of skin aging and sets a new standard in anti-aging skin care. Containing the highest degree of effective age-defying peptides and intelligent time-released hydration that deeply hydrate cells, plumping them for a more lifted appearance, and relaxing wrinkle-causing facial expressions. Thus is the claim of April Rain Skin Science.

This is a decadently rich, creamy moisturizing treatment that is a dream to apply. With its light, fresh scent and silky feel on skin, it's one of those products that you can't wait to get home to use. It comes packaged in a sweet jar reminiscent of a drop of pure rain water. Upon application, skin is instantly hydrated, fresh and more youthful in appearance. The moisturization continues as you sleep, providing for renewal and rejuvenation of facial skin. You awake to a bright, healthy complextion. Not bad, huh.

Here's what's behind it. The select blend of powerful age-fighting peptides and neuropeptides found in HydroPeptide® defend against all facets of skin aging and sets a new standard in anti-aging skin care. It's patent-pending isolates have been clinically proven to:
Boost CollagenStabilize CollagenProtect CollagenRelax Wrinkle Causing Facial Contractions
Exclusive HydroPeptide® with intelligent time-released hydration contains the highest degree of effective age-defying peptides that deeply hydrate cells, plumping them for a more lifted appearance, and relaxing wrinkle causing facial expressions. The multi-dimensional formula maximizes hydration, rebuilds collagen, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, shrinks pore size and noticeably firms and lifts skin.

21 hydrating elements impart penetrating, long-lasting moisture for refreshed skin that is healthy and younger-looking. 100% organic Echinacea extract, eco-cultivated in the Swiss Alps, heals damaged skin, prevents collagen breakdown, and retains renewing moisture for improved firmness, elasticity, and lift. 100% organic Buddleja extract, an ancient Chinese skin-healing remedy, neutralizes dangerous free radicals, protects and repairs skin cell DNA that has suffered from environmental stressors, and offers lasting skin renewal and radiance.

Dermatologist Vivian Bucay, MD serves as April Rain Skin Science’s Guiding Dermatologist. Dr. Bucay is nationally recognized for her expertise in minimally invasive facial rejuvenation through the combined use of Botox®, injectable dermal fillers, and laser skin resurfacing. Her extensive knowledge in cosmeceutical ingredients, how they function within the skin, and her strong background in chemistry is what led April Rain® to her and makes her such a valuable asset to the team. Here's what Dr. Bucay has to say about Night Rainew, "As a dermatologist with a strong background in chemistry, the Night Rainew formulation makes scientific sense. The combination and quantities of innovative and effective antioxidants and peptides present in this rich and hydrating cream promote the production of collagen and reduce the damage done by free radicals, resulting in a smoother, firmer and more even-toned complexion."

Water. It turns out water, more specifically pure water, is one of the driving forces behind CEO and creator April Zangl's founding of April Rain Skin Science and the whole line of products. It's an interesting story involving her partnering with with Beauty For Pure Water to help bring clean, safe drinking water to less fortunate nations by drilling wells in needy communities among other things. Her other passion and motivation? April wants to create skincare that promotes beauty both inside and out, to create healthier, more advanced, multifaceted products making life easier, results faster and more apparent.

April Rain® Showers On Hollywood With The Launch Of Day Rainew®

Posted by Jacqueline Luxe:

Hollywood gets rained on by April Rain's Day Rainew. Stars such as Tori Spelling, Jessica Alba, and Gwen Stefani are all hip to this 'anti-wrinkle' remedy in a bottle.

This super defender Day Rainew by April Rain, is hot amongst the Hollywood stars. Being a sure favorite at the annual GLAAD Media Awards. Stars were being drenched with this sure delight, including Dancing with the Stars Bruno Tonioli, to Star Trek's own Uhuraquoting "She will use it faithfully everyday". And if that isn't enough, April Rain won over the ladies of Wisteria Lane. So enough about Hollywood, what is all the excitement about here?

Well April Rain is formulated like a multivitamin for skin, supplying a recommended daily quota of your 'RDQ's'. Which is the one of the key elements that shield skin from 'wrinkle-causing' free radical attacks. Plus the multifunctional antioxidants and vitamins defend against sun damage and environmental assault while promoting skin cell regeneration. Wow! Sounds like powerful stuff.

How did we like it? Well we tried the April Rain Day Rainew. The bottle and packaging is slightly on the commercial side, but delivers its promise of a 'dermatological' grade product. The product itself offers a lot of moisture, and doesn't leave an oily film behind. If you are looking for a commercial, dermatologist recommended brand, then this is a sure bet.
