Powerful Facts You Need to Know on Anti-Ageing Moisturisers

Want to look young again? What about wanting to have a flawless complexion? Beautiful and radiant skin can only be achieved by proper skin care routine and selecting the right product for you!

Do you think you are using the best anti aging moisturizer? Or any best moisturiser at all? If yes, then why is it not working well? There could be something wrong in how you apply your moisturizer.

Did you know that Japanese skin care experts have a special way of applying moisturizers? They firmly believe that the efficacy of the skin care products they are using also depends greatly on their way of application. If you want to have young looking skin, emulate their skin care methods.

The first thing you need to do is to look for an ideal moisturizer. Aurora Gaharu's Nano-Hydrogel Moisturiser is made from natural ingredients containing high antioxidant properties found in Aquilaria malaccensis extract, green apple stem cell and a combination of phytonutrients and herbal extract.

The specially formulated nano particle sized combination provides nutrients to skin cells through deep penetration and stimulates blood flow underneath the skin layers. This effect propagates our own skin stem cells to speed-up the renewal of collagen and elastin in the body. Nano particle sized phytonutrients are essential in a way that it works in preserving natural hyaluronic acid content. This acid is necessary for the lubrication of collagen proteins. This way, collagen does not get damaged easily. Genkwanin glycosides found in Aquilaria malaccensis (Gaharu) extract is a type of antioxidant that can get rid of harmful free radicals better. What makes this antioxidant better is the fact that it is made up of smaller molecules. It can penetrate deeper into the skin.

Assuming that you are already using an ideal facial moisturising hydrogel (i.e. Aurora Gaharu's Nano-Hydrogel Moisturiser) with the ingredients mentioned above, you can try the following application tricks:

1. Put an adequate amount of the hydrogel on your lightest fingers. Your lightest fingers are less likely to cause a disturbance to your weak dermis tissues. In doing so, you will not inadvertently damage thin and fragile skin tissues.

2. Dab a bit of the hydrogel on your T-zone, your chin and your cheeks. If you are not using an eye cream, you can also put some of the hydrogel around your eye area.

3. Still using your lightest fingers, gently spread the hydrogel using small circular motions. Make sure you linger on one area for at least 30 seconds. This will enhance circulation and will help open up the pores to allow the hydrogel ingredients to penetrate in the dermis better.

4. Use your moisturizer two times a day. Clean your face first using Aurora Gaharu's gentle Phytonutrients non-foaming facial wash. Pat your face dry. Do not rub because this can cause extreme drying.

5. Immediately apply your Phytonutrients Toner and Nano-Hydrogel moisturizer after cleaning your face. It will penetrate better if your pores are still open.

And now I would like to invite you to visit http://www.auroragaharu.com to find out more on Aurora Gaharu's skin care series you should use in order to achieve clearer and radiant looking skin.

Powerful Facts You Need To Know About Anti-Ageing Protection

Anti aging treatments are becoming more and more popular these days. There are many people across the board, both men and women alike who are looking for anti- aging treatments that can help reverse the effects of aging. One of the best ways you can begin to help your self when it comes to antiaging is by the use of various proteins.

There have been numerous studies done that show certain proteins are able to help make your skin look firmer, help you to avoid sagging skin, and help to prevent wrinkles. You must understand the reason why skin stays looking young and youthful in the first place.

You already naturally have something in your skin called 'Collagen'. Collagen is very important as it concerns antiaging and its related effects. It is a very potent structural protein that is designed to hold her skin together and make it look firm. Another skin protein you need to be aware of is 'Elastin'. Elastin is a protein based tissue; this is the protein which is most responsible for helping your skin staying firm and snapping back into shape after being stretched. Just think of all the elderly people you see who have sagging skin, these people are probably suffering from low levels of elastin and collagen.

Elastin and collagen are known to decrease as a person grows older; if you are younger individual your collagen and elastin levels are probably higher than those who are elderly. But elastin and collagen are simple chemicals that one can maintain over time if they know how. Let’s get in to the subject of elastin a little more as it concerns antiaging.

Elastin is composed of various amino acids. They are made by connective tissue cells refer to as fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are responsible for many functions as it concerns antiaging; they are responsible for helping you to form strong durable resilience elastic fibers.If you want to give yourself a simple test on how much elastin your skin may contain right now, then all you have to do is pull your skin up and see how long it takes to go back to being firm and smooth.

The best place to try this is either on your arm or the back of your hand. If you’re younger person your skin should go back into place very quickly, if you are older person your skin may take longer to go back into place. Even if you are a healthier individual who has high levels of elastin and collagen the quality of these two chemicals in your body may be inferior.

It is a well-known fact that the qualities of these chemicals are at its highest when an individual is in adolescents or a late teenager. After an individual has reached maturity collagen and elastin levels begin to decline. When you are at the age of maturity the chemicals known as fibroblasts in your skin begin to have a reduced ability to make new elastin, which is the reason why your skin begins to sag or become wrinkled. Antiaging products and other treatments are designed to reverse the effects of collagen and elastin deficiency.

Also there have been many studies done that show specific changes in a person can also happen because of a change in the biochemical structure of a person skin. Strong changes in about chemical environments of a person skin decreases elastin levels. Antiaging products for the most part are designed to restore elastin and collagen levels to a level they once were when a person was much younger.

Discover the SECRET of NATURE: About Aquilaria Malaccensis Leave Extract

Clinical observations made over the years have discovered that the many antioxidant compounds naturally occurring in plant sources which have been identified as free radicals or active oxygen scavengers play a significant role in prevention and cure of coronary heart diseases. It has been shown that phenolic substances present in plants have major contribution for their antioxidant activity.


These herbal formulations are prepared using a mixture of plant materials according to traditional formulae. The therapeutic benefit of these medicinal preparations is often attributed to their antioxidant properties.


Studies on the phytochemical and antioxidant activity of Aquilaria malaccensis leaves extract suggests that its phenolic substances which are flavanoids present in this species might provide a great value of antioxidant activity. The extracts exhibited strong antioxidant activity radical scavenging activity with IC50 value of 8.0 × 102 μg/ml, 1.6 × 102 μg/ml, 1.4 × 102 μg/ml, 30.0 μg/ml and 3.33 μg/ ml for hexane, DCM, ethyl acetate, methanol and quarcetine respectively.


Because of its astringent nature (which helps to make your skin less oily and make cuts stop bleeding), the leaves extract provide an effective skin tonic and is recommended by Ayurvedic physicians as an application for restoring pigment in leucoderma. This natural occurring antioxidant also provides an antiseptic so gentle it is used for ear and eye infections as well as on open wounds.


Genkwanin Glycosides found in Aquilaria malaccensis leaves extract are molecules in which a sugar is bound to a non-carbohydrate moiety, usually a small organic molecule. Glycosides play numerous important roles in living organisms. Many plants store chemicals in the form of inactive glycosides. These can be activated by enzyme hydrolysis which causes the sugar part to be broken off, making the chemical available for use. Many such plant glycosides are used as medications. In animals (including humans), poisons (and other hazardous substances) are often bound to sugar molecules as part of their elimination from the body. Among the important effects of flavonoids, they are also known to decrease capillary fragility.

Definisi AURORA:

Dalam bidang kajian Astronomi - adalah fenomena semulajadi kejaiban pancaran cahaya waktu malam di langit sekitar kawasan kutub utara. Selalu berlaku dalam lapisan 'ionosphere', kejadian aurora ini ada juga dikesan di beberapa planet lain dalam sistem solar. Aurora ada juga dikenalpasti wujud akibat pengaruh Ribut Solar yang terhasil dari pancaran arus ion yang berterusan daripada matahari. Medan magnetik semulajadi Bumi akan menjadi perangkap kepada ion-ion tersebut dimana setiap partikel ion tersebut akan berkumpul di kawasan sekitar kutub Utara sebelum memecut masuk ke dalam pusat Bumi. Perlanggaran ion bersama lapisan atmosfera dan molekul-molekul udara ini yang menghasilkan tenaga cahaya Aurora. Aurora juga kerap berlaku dan akan bertambah cerah ketika intensiti kitaran solar pada matahari menjadi lebih kuat.
Dalam bidang kajian Bio-Teknologi - adalah sejenis enzim dalam kajian sel-sel yang bertanggungjawab dalam pembahagian serta merangsang penghasilan sel-sel baru. Aurora Kinase adalah pemangkin kepada pertumbuhan populasi sel dalam struktur biologi.
