There are many questions which likewise need to be understood and empirically accepted as important phenomena, such as: collagen's ability to retain a helix structure outside its natural environment (that is inside a vertebrate organism), its ability to achieve a metabolic process once there as well as defining to what degree, and why, we speak at all of a "living" biologically active protein.

One thing we can say about the ingenious discovery of fish collagen by scientists is that those, who learn of its existence, are almost never indifferent. On the contrary, it produces enormous enthusiasm, bounding on euphoria or, conversely, extreme denial. We all know that when a tree dies its leaves keep growing and its sap flows through its trunk, right up until the chain saw starts cutting. When a person dies their hair and nails (skin fragments) live, and even grow, for several more days.



The development of life on Earth is based on proteins. They die completely when there peptide chains break down. Yet some primitive organisms are able to return their proteins to full vitality after long periods of complete hibernation. Bedbugs after two days and some bacteria after even two hundred years! How? Because the proteins that allow for their revival do not submit to degradation.

ANTI AGING TREATMENT WITHOUT BOTOX

Botox, the popular treatment to counter facial wrinkles, can move from the face to the brain. A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience found that the active ingredient in Botox - botulinum toxin - moved into the brainstem brain of rats within three days of injection.

Remnants of the poison also moved from the hippocampus on one side of the brain that controls spatial navigation and long-term memory, to the hippocampus on the opposite side of the brain.

Researchers also found Botox remnants in areas connected with hand-eye coordination. The effects were still present six months later.

"The idea that there could be some transmission of this to the central nervous system needs to be followed up," said Matthew Avram, director of Massachusetts General Hospital's Dermatology, Laser and Cosmetology Center.

Death by Botox? The Hidden Toll of the Quest for Beauty.

By Stephanie Brail - she is a wellness coach, healer and hypnotherapist. She provides information and perspectives on alternative health, well-being, spirituality, and more at Feel Good Girl

(NaturalNews) How far are you willing to go for beauty? Would you be willing to gamble your life? Because that's what women are doing when they choose to receive Botox injections, based on analysis by Ralph Nadar's watchdog group, Public Citizen . With 16 recorded deaths from the popular form of plastic surgery, Public Citizen is calling on the FDA to put a "black box" warning on the Botox label.

Botox is a neurotoxin that is made from botulinum toxin A, part of the same family of poisons as botulism, a common cause of fatal food poisoning.

Botox is used to treat facial wrinkles (particularly on the forehead) by paralyzing the muscles of the face. Popular with celebrities, it has been lauded as a safe and effective way to stop aging. One anti-aging site (ironically called "RealSelf.com") crowed about so-called Botox "miracles"

"Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Liz Hurley are rumored to be repeat customers on the Botox scene. Judging by their well-rested, youthful and glowing skin, Botox seems to be effective in maintaining an appearance of youth."

With the perception that Botox is safe, and being a relatively inexpensive form of plastic surgery (a few hundred dollars per shot), women have flocked to receive Botox hits. According to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 3.8 million Botox treatments were performed in the United States in 2005 for a total of almost $1.4 billion.

But what's the real story on Botox? Is it really a good idea to purposefully inject a toxin into your face?

According to Botox critics, Botox isn't as safe as it seems. The toxin can spread from the forehead to other parts of the face and body, causing paralysis where it was not intended. Women who use Botox often report that they experience adverse effects to the treatment, particularly when they massage the injected area. Massaging the area apparently moves the toxin around the body and can cause headaches and other side effects such as droopy eyelids and more.

Consider the many anecdotal reports from Botox users on the Internet:

"I just did botox for the first time and have experienced a horrible side effect called ptosis (eye lid drooping) in one of my eyes. It is so bad that I have one eye almost completely closed and cannot properly see out of it. I feel and look like a monster," writes one Botox victim botox_nightmare . "My doctor says this has never happened to any of his patients and advises the only thing I can do is wait. I've been waiting and trying to stay positive but it seems my problem is progressively getting worse hour by hour. I just don't know what to do anymore."

Here's another report from a 30-year-old female who received a combination of Botox and Juvederm three weeks in advance of an important first date makemeheal :

"After a few weeks I developed brown bruising, weird swelling which casts shadows and a sunken appearance around my orbital rims. And also my brows are droopy not lifted from botox," she wrote. "...I've taken copious pictures before and after. The difference is striking and depressing. I look suddenly older, tired and expressionless. All this combines to make me, a 30 year-old, look 10-15 years older."

Not only did her family and co-workers note her "weird appearance," but she lost her chance with her date, who thought that she had altered her photographs prior to meeting him.

Even celebrities are vowing to ditch the Botox needle. Actress Angelica Huston swore off Botox when the toxin froze her face Angelica Huston . She explained, "I went to a doctor who said, 'Angelica, we have this wonderful new thing, it's called Botox.' He took a huge needle and plunged it into my third eye. The pain was something inexplicable. I gasped, I writhed and when I came to, I had a headache that lasted four days. A serious one."

But there's a bigger danger with Botox: death.

Public Citizen analyzed FDA data on Botox from 1997 to 2006. Among the findings: 180 patients developed life-threatening conditions after being injected with Botox, with 16 deaths and 87 hospitalizations. Four of the deaths occurred in children under 18. The injections of the neurotoxin, which is used to induce paralysis at the wrinkled area, apparently also caused paralysis of the respiratory muscles and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), leading to pneumonia and fluid in the lungs.

Additionally, 658 cases of patients having adverse effects to Botox were reported. Because these reports were voluntary and came from the makers of Botox, they are estimated to account for only 10 percent of all cases.

In response to these findings, Public Citizen drafted a petition to the FDA requesting a letter be sent to doctors warning of possible Botox adverse effects, as well as a "black box" label on the packaging. Public Citizen is also asking that doctors be required to provide a medication guide to patients warning them about the potential side effects of Botox.

"These significantly improved warnings to doctors and patients would increase the likelihood of earlier medical intervention when symptoms of adverse reactions to botulinum toxin first appear and could prevent more serious complications, including death," said Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group.

"Nobody should be dying from injected botulinum toxin, educating physicians and patients about what adverse symptoms to look for and when to seek immediate medical attention will save lives."

Public Citizen cites the following symptoms as warning signs that could lead to a fatal form of Botox poisoning: dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, slurred speech, drooping eyelids and muscle weakness.

There's even greater danger when Botox is administered improperly. In 2004, Bonnie and Eric Kaplan received an overdose of Botox from a doctor and had to be hospitalized and put on respirators DETAILS . In critical condition, they could not speak or breathe on their own, and they could barely move. Eric Kaplan had to be fed through a tube placed into his stomach. They filed a lawsuit against the doctor, alleging that he used an improperly mixed dose of Botox that was 10 times stronger than normal.

If the physical dangers are not enough, British doctors performed a study in 2006 and found that Botox injections can be psychologically addicting, with four out of 10 receiving injections compulsively No Botox .

Low self-esteem and an obsession with outer beauty appear to be the culprits. As pop star Gary Numan's wife Gemma Numan said:

"I have regular injections of Botox. When I have had one treatment, I can't wait for the next. Every minute takes me nearer to my goal: looking better and feeling happier. Without it, I feel ugly, unsexy and unlovable."

The question then becomes: Would you rather feel unsexy, or would you rather be dead?

A NEAT, LITTLE, FREE AND EXPLOSIVELY AMAZING TOOLBAR

Natural News comments by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.

Anti-aging medicine practitioners are always being asked, "Does anti-aging medicine really work?" For this cartoon, I thought it would be funny to imagine what might happen if the pills and injections worked a little too well.

"Anti-aging medicine" is really a misnomer. Technically, there's no such thing as anti-aging. We're all moving forward in time, and our biology is ticking away the same seconds on the clock just like everything else. The real question here concerns "health enhancement," because enhancing your health will reduce your apparent age and make you look, feel and act younger.

Nutrition, exercise, sunshine, fresh air and strict avoidance of all toxic chemicals in foods, personal care products and home environments will make you appear to age much more gracefully than everybody else. But that's all relative to the "normal" aging process observed in society, which is really the result of a widespread aging acceleration program.



The Aging Acceleration Program

Most consumers, you see, are on an aging acceleration program. They're eating fried foods, drinking milk and soda, coating their skin with toxic sunscreen and perfume products, washing their clothes in cancer-causing chemical detergents, taking disruptive pharmaceuticals and destroying their own health in every way imaginable. That's the aging acceleration program to which virtually all consumers currently subscribe.

If you want to appear to benefit from "anti-aging," all you have to do is avoid the aging acceleration program that everybody else is on. It's that simple. You'll look (and feel) far younger by comparison.

Some of the people I went to college with, who are about my same age, right now appear to be in their 60's! (I'm 38). They're overweight, suffering from joint pain, high cholesterol and depression, and they're no doubt already metabolizing cancers and liver disorders that will be diagnosed later in life (if they don't die of a heart attack first). Meanwhile, thanks to great nutrition and a complete avoidance of toxic chemicals, I'm doing Capoeira and gymnastics like I was still in my 20's.

The key to anti-aging is simply opting out of the accelerating aging program everybody else is on. People look at me and they say, "Gee, you look really healthy for almost being 40," but the truth is that my health is quite normal. It's everybody else whose health is degenerating at an unnatural, accelerated pace.

Myths About Aging And Disease

The diseases that doctors attribute to "aging" are, in reality, not related to aging at all. The mind doesn't really fade away as you age. That's complete hogwash. Your bones don't just disappear as you age, and the body doesn't become weaker and more diseased with each passing year. Those are just myths perpetrated by conventional medicine.

These myths are popular because they appear to be true based on observing the masses. If you look at most people, they are indeed losing their bones, their bodies and their minds with each passing year. But here's the catch: That isn't due to aging, it's due to all the toxic chemicals they consume combined with their chronic nutritional deficiencies and lack of physical and mental exercise.

In other words, observing the rapid deterioration of the health of the people living in modern society today is not, in any way, a legitimate assessment of the effects of aging on the human body. You only see the effects of a lifetime of exposure to synthetic chemicals, food additives, dangerous pharmaceuticals, vitamin D deficiencies and ongoing abuse of the body. Naturally, that's going to lead to Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, liver damage, cancer, heart disease and so on. It has nothing to do with any sort of natural aging progression.

But Does Anti-Aging Medicine Really Work?

Back to the issue of anti-aging medicine, some practitioners in the anti-aging world promise to take a typical consumer full of toxic chemicals and suffering from nutritional deficiencies, then jolt them back into a state of youthful vigor through hormone injections and high-dose vitamins.

In my opinion, that approach not very useful because it fails to address the lifestyle decisions by the consumer, and it's the lifestyle (foods, exercise, supplements, stress, exposure to toxins, etc.) that ultimately determines how old or young you look and feel. In other words, you can't just pump someone full of synthetic hormones while ignoring their daily use of cancer-causing personal care products. You can't give them high-dose B vitamins while ignoring the complete lack of nutrition in the foods they routinely eat. And I can guarantee that you'll never make anyone younger unless you get them to engage in more exercise, more sunlight, more play time and LESS chronic stress.

Anti-aging medicine can do very little for someone unless the whole patient is making a shift towards a healthier, non-toxic lifestyle. Of course, the best anti-aging doctors take that into account, and they promote a program of wholesale lifestyle changes combined with aggressive nutrition programs. That style of anti-aging medicine can, indeed, work miracles. I've experienced it myself. I look, feel and act younger today than when I was 30. My "anti-aging medicine" was a permanent shift away from unhealthy foods and consumer products, combined with aggressive nutritional supplementation and superfood consumption.

So from that point of view, anti-aging medicine really works. But I wouldn't call it anti-aging medicine in the first place. I would just call it common health sense. Eliminate all the toxins in your life (food, personal care, lawn care, home care, etc.) and let nature provide your food, your sunshine and your medicine. You'll find yourself looking and feeling younger very rapidly (espeically if you combine it with the daily consumption of raw fruit and vegetable juices).

BE NATURAL - BE BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY

Not many people gasp the essence of this biochemistry's phenomenon. And it all comes down to this: the protein extracted from the skin of a fish eaten two years ago, continues to possess the identical conformation, according to its rank, as a fish just pulled from the net.

All due to a process involving the lightning fast removal and freezing of the skin, (before the collagen molecules break down) followed by an extraordinarily delicate mechanical process, a slowly finessed chemical reaction, multiphase filtration and finally - something no laboratory in the world, outside the one in Europe, has been able to do - collagen which doesn't lose its helical structure, and which comes out clean (though brittle and defenceless).

What could be better than several dozen tons of beef collagen, produced every year at varying quality, in different locations around the world?



The differences are many - but the most important is that this is "living" collagen. It has a roughly lower molecular mass than bovine collagen, and reaches deeper after being applied to the epidermis At the moment of contact with the human organism, it is not just a static bundle of "dead" amino acids, but a constantly ordered, three-core spiral. It isn't until it reaches the stratum corneum of the epidermis where it is sliced into peptide chain parts.

Natural Collagen 5-26 Graphite is recommended for hair care, nail care and collagen baths.

Restore beauty to the hair and nails - gray hair gets darker, brows and eye lashes start growing again; nails get harder and more elastic (due to the high content of pigment).
High absorption through epidermis layers.
Significant hydrophility.
Applied on hair restores its natural color and elasticity.
Eliminates seborrhoeic changes, dandruff, inflammatory states.
Improves hair growth upon continuous application.

Bathing
Regenerative bathing in room temperature water, ensures that the Natural Collagen 5-26 is absorbed by the skin in conditions when it exhibits its most beneficial structure.

Bathing in warm water will break down the collagen structure, enabling the smaller particles to be absorbed more quickly. Collagen baths facilitate the application of collagen to the whole body and visibly enhance the condition of the skin. The temperature of the bath should approximate that of a human body.

During a warm bath, collagen becomes decomposed into amino acids which are indispensable to human organisms.

Transdermal (through the skin) absorption of amino acids is faster than through the digestive system. Exogenous amino acids enter the organism transdermally and render the regeneration of proteins possible. Amino acid baths are especially recommended at the old age and for those people who strain themselves either physically or mentally, because they serve as energy supplementation.

LIVING COLLAGEN FOR HEALTH AND BEAUTY OF YOUR SKIN

The advantages this nutricosmetic and cosmeceutical has over other cosmetic collagens.

* a transdermal gel or powder form (i.e. is absorbed by skin)
* contains natural fish protein
* contains a biologically active ("living") protein of spatial form with an unparalleled similarity to human collagen, which as the only one in the world, maintains its biologically active form, within a temperature range of between 410F- 780F (50C - 260C) and keeps it (as long as it is not cooled) until it reaches the skin's extracellular space.
* the first preparation in the world to attack the causes, not merely the effects of aging on the skin. And what's more - the organism.
* the absorption process does not require the use of additional methods nor techniques resulting in side effects (e.g. injecting wrinkles as with bovine based collagen),
* replacing faulty collagen in human skin renews the pace of fibroblast function. A return to function which does not leave the skin dependent on cosmetics.
* it is odourless, non-allergenic, bacteria resistant, soothing and relaxing.



Natural Collagen Q5-26 is not a medication, nor is it only a cosmetic. Owing to the fact that it not only beautifies, but also influences the functioning and structure of tissue (activity typical of medications) it has been justifiably recognised as nutricosmetic and cosmeceutical.

The name cosmeceutical as a term for preparations combining the functions of cosmetics and medicines, was proposed for years by the professor of dermatology Albert M. Klingman. It has been propagated for many years to include among others, dermo-cosmetics and transdermal preparations with healing properties.

Natural Collagen Q 5-26 Silver is specifically formulated for application to the whole body.
Tapping and massaging enhances natural collagen penetration through the skin, which intensifies its capacity of assimilation.

Natural Collagen Q 5-26 Silver supports a natural regeneration of cell, revitalizes and reinforces the skin which becomes smooth, more elastic and more beautiful.

Natural Collagen Q 5-26 Silver is formulated to be used for extremely dry skin easily irritated, it is also beneficial for treatment of varicose veins and cellulites.
Recommended to apply after sunbathing when dry skin needs more intensive regeneration.

Natural Collagen Q 5-26 Silver is especially recommended for:


varicose veins and cellulites
sports injuries, such as strains and sprains
people recovering from injuries
lumbar and spinal pains
overall body massages
aching joints

NATURAL COLLAGEN FOR BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY BODY

Collagen is a basic constituent protein, forming up to 30% of human's body protein and 70% of skin protein. It is abundant in bone tissue, skin, eye tissue, the kidneys, liver and the digestive system. It is also found in the fluids of body cells. It is produced in body tissue, specifically by fibroblasts and bone tissue chrondrocites.
All the hormones produced by the body, take an active part in its biosynthesis.

The structure is made up of amino acids with a fibrous arrangement, otherwise known as fibrous scleroproteins. The fibers are long chain molecules, containing up to19 amino acids. The most important of these being, prolin, glicyn and hydroxyprolin and hydroxysilizin. The last two compounds are not found in any other proteins.

Amino acids are in turn composed of the so called life elements, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. The combination of a hundred or more of these elements in a specific pattern produces amino acids, which can then further combine to produce long polypeptide molecular chains. These long chains of amino acids co-join to form super helixes with a space volume structure. The whole chain structure relies on a weak hydrogen type bond for support.

Collagen performs a vital role in the well-being of the whole bodily organism, due to its physical and biochemical actions. It provides the building frame for bone tissue, ligament suppleness and plays an important role in the protection of skin tissue.
It enhances the uptake moisture which is necessary to retain skin texture and flexibility.
The replenishment of collagen is continuous throughout the life of the human body. During the natural ageing process however, the replacement of collagen is gradually reduced and therefore it cannot aid replacement of new skin tissue to the same extent as before. This overall deficit in collagen production causes gradual retardation of body cell renewal.

From age 25 onwards, our natural supplies of collagen weaken and become less productive. Free radicals and toxins destroy collagen fibers, and reducing levels of copper, vitamin A, C or E in our bodies can adversely affect the natural production of collagen Over time our skin develops symptoms associated with ageing: slackness, wrinkles, dryness, discoloration and uneven skin tone.

At over 35 years of age, there are visible signs of ageing, for instance sweat glands and pores get blocked up, the skin does not retain moisture to the same extent and signs of wrinkles appear. This is due to the decreasing available amount of fibrous elastin and collagen.

High temperature, exposure to the sun, free radicals such as toxins and the enzyme colagenase, destroy the fibrous proteins causing a diminution in the amount of microelements and vitamins which are vital to the continuous replenishment of collagen by fibroblasts and chondrocites. Thus the natural production of collagen is drastically reduced.

NATURAL COLLAGEN Q5-26 TO THE RESCUE

About 20 types of collagen are present in living organisms. The most important ones are listed below together with where they occur.

* Collagen I       Skin, ligaments, bone, cornea, teeth, fibrous cartilage, womb and the inter-vertebral disc.
* Collagen II     Cartilage, vitreous cells and intervertebral disc.
* Collagen III    Womb, skin, intestines, heart membranes, jaws.
* Collagen IV     Membranes.
* Collagen V      Cornea, bone, cartilage.
* Collagen VI     Stomach membrane, skin and cartilage.
* Collagen VII    Skin, lungs, cornea.
* Collagen VIII  Unknown, produced in body cells.
* Collagen IX     Cartilage.
* Collagen X       Produces chronodrocites during ossification.
* Collagen XI     Cartilage, intervertebral cartilage and bone enamel.
* Collagen XII    Ligaments, tendons and tooth enamel.

The following table presents the occurrence in organs of a selected collagen type. The results of immunologic studies show that the synthesis of this collagen type in skin takes place not only in fibroblasts, but also in the keratinocyte layer - epidermis.

SKIN

Collagen produced by the keratinocyte layer freely moves in the extracellular space. Basement membrane and proper skin are built of type I collagen. The cited literature shows that the transdermal penetration of hydrated collagen with 1.5 nm diameter to extracellular space is obvious.

Skin is the largest organ on our body, made up of several different components, including water, protein, lipids and different minerals and chemicals. It takes a lot to protect you, too: just about six pounds (that's roughly how much your skin would weigh by itself). Throughout your life your skin will change, for better or worse. Proper care and treatment is essential to maintaining the health and vitality of this crucial protection.

It's easy to skip that glass of water during the haste of your daily routines or to cleanse yourself. But over time, those bad habits can take a toll on your skin.

Over the course of your life, you should pay attention to all parts of your skin. Familiarize yourself with it, so you'll notice any changes that might occur, such as different moles or patches that might require further attention.

THE SKIN'S PROTEINS

Collagen: It's the most abundant protein in the skin, making up 75 percent of your skin. This is also your fountain of youth, for it's responsible for warding off wrinkles and fine lines. Over time, environmental factors and aging diminish your body's ability to produce collagen.

Elastin: Think elastic. This protein is found with collagen in the dermis. It's another protein, responsible for giving structure to your skin and organs. As with collagen, elastin is affected by time and the elements. Diminished levels of this protein cause your skin to wrinkle and sag.

Keratin: This dominant protein in your skin makes up hair, nails and the surface layer of the skin. Keratin is what forms the rigidity of your skin.

MORE INFO ABOUT TYPES OF COLLAGEN

Collagen is not given to us once for all. It is constantly undergoing change. It dies and is simultaneously created and constantly supported by chondrocytes, keratinoctes and fibroblasts - the cellular production and renovation works for collagen. How does it work? Well, in the teeth, eyes and hair there are biosynthetic processes underway which join at least 19 amino acids in a cyclical pro-collagen sequence. The peptide sequence chain forms a polypeptide chain which contains as many as 1000 amino acids. This "factory" releases cellular fibroblasts which once in extracellular space, join into spirals, usually laevorotatory superhelices.

Natural Collagen Q5-26 is not a collagen cream which works only on the skin surface. A moisturizer with or without collagen cannot penetrate the skin and is not designed to be absorbed. No moisturizer can undo the cumulative effect of collagen loss. Creams primarily slow the rate of water loss from the skin and help keep the skin supple.

Natural Collagen Q5-26 it is a collagen gel that is pure, alive and biologically active and which besides its congenial effect to the skin, the confection penetrates the integument and enters the extracellular space, supplementing any deficiencies of collagen in tissues and organs according to the needs. It also gets built in the bones. The amino acids in the collagen fully cover the daily requirement for the components necessary for the regeneration of the connective tissue.

Therefore, Natural Collagen can:
Rejuvenate maturing skin making it smooth, elastic and soft.
Deeply moisturize and tone skin, instantly firm and tighten sagging skin.

Delay the ageing process.
Regenerate structures of the connective tissue.
Clearly improve skin immunology, compactness and pigmentation.
Reduce the appearance of puffiness of dark circles around eyes.
Initiate the process of skin regeneration.

Increase ability of the skin to retain water.


It also may be beneficial treatment of such diseases as:
Degenerative joint disease
Rheumatoid arthritis
Dermatitis, covering with blackheads
Cataracts
Diverticulosis of the intestines
Stomach ulcers
Sports injuries, such as strains and sprains
People recovering from injuries
Lumbar and spinal pains
Aching joints Inflammatory states
Improves visual acuity
Helps with varicose veins.
Inflammatory states

HEALTH, BEAUTY AND AGING SKIN CARE BENEFITS BY USING NATURAL COLLAGEN

Your skin is the largest organ of your body and it has the ability to repair and regenerate itself. The skin is made up of seven layers and when we are young we shed the top layer regularly. Shedding the top layer reveals the new skin underneath.

Shedding the top layer of skin triggers the body's natural production of collagen, the magic ingredient that plumps skin and produces a youthful, dewy glow. As we grow older the skin does not shed its layers so readily and the body produces less collagen.

Older looking skin that has lost its glow is clogged with dead skin particles that block the pores, not only does this slow down the renewal and regeneration of fresh new layers it also makes it impossible for the skin to absorb moisture. No amount of moisturizing is going to change this.

Exfoliation is an effective way of scrubbing away dead skin cells and it is the secret for younger, fresher looking skin. In the process of making new skin cells the body is signalled to produce more collagen. This is vital because loss of collagen is the single main reason why skin ages and becomes wrinkled.

Exfoliating also opens up the skin pores that have become blocked and this will give you smaller skin pores, which in turn will give the appearance of a more refined and even skin tone. Exfoliation increases the blood circulation to your face, something that is absolutely essential in helping to prevent skin aging.

When you remove the surface debris and open up the skin pores by exfoliating, your skin will be able to absorb more nutrients and moisture. Your skin will then appear clearer and softer, fine lines will actually fade.

To help keep your skin looking and feeling radiant, youthful and healthy you need to have a good daily skin care routine. This shouldn't take more than ten minutes and won't break the bank.

Firstly you need to identify your skin type and then choose appropriate products. Use the list below to help you.

Normal - Your skin feels velvety to touch, has small pores and no acne.

Oily - Your skin has enlarged pores with shiny patches. Breakouts may occur frequently.

Dry - Your skin has dry and itchy patches and has very small or invisible pores.

Combination - Your skin is oily across the forehead, nose and chin, and dry across your cheeks.

Sensitive - Your skin has irritated and itchy patches and can be either oily or dry. It can also be reddened or blotchy and have frequent breakouts.

Once you have discovered your skin type, choose products that have been formulated for your skin.

The four steps to a daily skin care routine are: - cleansing, toning, moisturizing and protecting.

Cleansing
Any type of mild beauty soap is fine for removing dirt and grease, but if you wear foundation make-up then you will need to use a facial cleansing agent.

These come in creams, lotions, water-based emulsions or gel form, and they are formulated for individual skin types. Choosing the correct one for your skin type is important. If you suffer from frequent break-outs this could be caused by blocked pores, one excellent method of unblocking pores is to exfoliate once a week, if this doesn't cure the problem try using a medicated soap or lotion as well.

When applying anything to your face use gentle upward strokes, this avoids stretching your skin and causing wrinkles. Rinse with cold water to close the pores.

For your body, cleanse your skin in the bath or shower using a product specially formulated for the body and your skin type. Splashing with cold water afterwards will close the pores and give your skin a beautiful smooth appearance.

Toning
Using a toner will remove any greasiness left from your make-up or cleansing product, close the pores, stimulate circulation and give your skin a porcelain-like quality.

Again choose one that is formulated for your skin type and apply it with a cotton wool ball using gentle upward strokes.

You will only need to use a toner on your body if you have very oily skin and suffer from breakouts on areas of your body. If this is the cast choose a toner specially formulated for use on the body.

Moisturizing
All skin types need moisturizing every day, even oily skin. Take care to choose a product for your skin type as well as whether it's for your face or body.

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are fruit and milk based acids and they help to remove the dull surface layer of skin, which will expose the fresh new skin below. AHAs can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Moisturizers containing AHAs may not be suitable if you have sensitive skin.

If you do have sensitive skin, look out for hypo-allergenic products that do not contain perfumes or dyes.

Always apply a moisturizer using gentle upward strokes. For your body pay special attention to elbows, knees, chest, stomach, calves, thighs and forearms.

The right way to apply moisturizer
Using gentle upward, circular movements, lightly massage the moisturizer into your face. Do not pull or tug your skin.

If you have oily skin, don't massage it too much, massaging the facial skin stimulates the oil glands to produce more sebum, which will make your skin even oilier.

Pay special attention to the delicate skin under your eyes. This skin is easily damaged so use the forth finger, which is the weakest, and pat the moisturizer gently until the skin absorbs it. Start at the outer corner and work inwards. Do not put eye cream on your upper lids just before going to bed; the skin will be puffy when you wake up in the morning.

Apply your moisturizer twice a day, before you put on your make-up and after you remove it.

Below, there are some of the most interesting questions:

Does collagen make the skin addicted? Doesn't the organism become accustomed to providing such protein "from the outside" and give up "its own production"?

We would like it to be so. We would all earn a lot more than the drug dealers, but legally the situation is, however, quite opposite.The findings of the research carried on so far have indicated that the observed objective increase in the skin tissue after about 100 days of noninvasive collagen lifting is not so much the effect of providing of the supportive protein from the outsite but rather of "waking up" the fibroblasts by such stimulation and, as if, forcing them to make a productive effort in a moment when they have already start thinking about the retirement. The precise answer to this question requires 2-3 years of clinical research. There is some good news also, however. A significant majority of our clients show the symptoms of mental addiction to the product.

How much of pure collagen is there precisely in Natural Collagen?

The question is a bit wrongly stated. The specific answer about 45%, or perhaps 98% in the total dry mass does not reflect the essence of the subject. After separation of water, lactic acid and oils that give the product the form of the protein again. Then, however, the product would lose its transepidermic characteristics and would be impermanent. The better answer is : the maximum of the amount possible to be completely absorbed by the external layer of epidermis. In general the 3 content of "collagen in collagen" is measured by the amount of hydroxyproline in mg/cm. When we are operating on the percentages we can be laughed at by a biochemist.

Is "Marine" based Collagen the same as this fish derived collagen? What are the differences?

Most of the "marine" based collagen products are created using algae and several oils that serve as preservatives. Natural Collagen is only found in humans and animals, not in plants or algae. Marine based products are not created using any type of active collagen derived from animals. This is what makes the attributes to Natural Collagen very unique. Another differentiating aspect of Natural Collagen is that it is very pure and contains only four basic ingredients. Many of these other marine based collagen products contain an array of ingredients and are therefore less pure than Natural Collagen.

Does your Natural Collagen have Certificates and Medical Tests?

Yes, it has Certificate from National Institute of Hygiene, Certificate of Health Quality and tests from Microbiology and Dermatology Laboratories and Clinics in Europe.

What is the difference between the fish and the bovine collagen?

First of all it does not induce allergy. The more refined the species of fish is used for the extraction of collagen, the smaller the pollution of the fresh water reservoirs that are the source of the fish, the smaller the number - even to the verge of the per mill statistical error of the percentage - of people who become allergic to the product obtained in such a way. Since 1999 the plastic surgery has departed from the application of the bovine collagen.

The fish collagen excludes the spread of prions. Apart from the fact that the risk is slight, the psychosis created by the media deters the clients from the bovine collagen. Finally, what was most important to us, this is an extract from the fish skins, first from the salmon family, then from the carp family, that underwent the Europe method of hyper - filtration through the fibroins of silk which has given the known result.

How is Natural Collagen Q5-26 with Fish Collagen distinctly different from other Collagen products?

Studies have shown that other types of collagen, mainly synthetic and bovine collagen, do not work well with human skin. The molecular structure of such products is not accepted by human skin and therefore they provide little to no benefit.

Natural Collagen Q5-26 with fish collagen is a unique formulation of natural ingredients that works best with human skin. The formula has been perfected in Europe over the past fifteen years and therefore provides superior results.

After I apply Natural Collagen Q5-26 my skin feels tight, is this normal?

Yes, it is normal to feel a tight sensation after applying Natural Collagen Q5-26 onto skin. As the Collagen dries, it causes the skin to feel instantly tighter, and may cause minimal flaking as it begins to regenerate the skin.

Why has Natural Collagen Q5-26 been called nature's gift?

Natural Collagen Q5-26 is completely natural. It is obtained from fish and thus from natural raw material. The technology to obtain it is completely natural. Suffice it to say that the filters contain the natural fibrin of silk. This is as if one kind were complementary to the other inferior, more subtle one. It is like frutti di mare, but in a much wider and more intense meaning.
The whole production process is extremely esthetic visually and the collagen obtained through it is beautiful, clear, transparent, easing pain and healing wounds. It is a gift of nature.

What if I am allergic to fish?

So, far we have had no reported reactions to our products, however, as a precaution, anyone who does have allergies, should first try a small amount behind the ear and wait at least 10 minutes. If there is no reaction, try again with a small amount on the inside of both wrists, again waiting at least 10 minutes to see if there is any reaction. If no reaction occurs, then proceed with one part of the body at a time.

Aren't creams containing collgen enough to smooth out lines?

Collagen creams work only on the skin surface. A moisturizer with or without collagen cannot penetrate the skin and is not designed to be absorbed. No moisturizer can undo the cumulative effect of collagen loss. Creams primarily slow the rate of water loss from the skin and help keep the skin supple.
