Femme Fatale Anti Aging Skin Care Product Choices

By Aileen Fletcher

Have you ever wondered which anti aging skin care product a celebrity like Michelle Pfeifer or Madonna uses to keep her fantastic skin looking so good? Surely it isn?t the same kind of wrinkle cream that you see gracing the shelves of your local department store. Or is it?

The scenario just described is purely seductive fiction ? seductive because it is the type of everyday miracle that we would all like to have come true at least once in our lives. We all want to have younger looking skin, even if we don?t pin our careers on our looks like big-time movie actresses and haute couture fashion models. For them ? the Beautiful People ? there is a rarified world of designer label products and pricey procedures that we can only dream about.

Name brand anti aging skin care product lines include ?Doctor?s Dermatologic Formula? developed by Dr. Howard Sobel (New York City); ?Murad? as formulated by Dr. Howard Murad (UCLA); and ?Re Vive? which was the innovation of Dr. Gregory Bays Brown (University of Louisville). These special formulations are usually not within reach of the mainstream American woman since prices for a single treatment can reach well into the hundreds of dollars.

But celebrity women are not the only people who are concerned about retaining younger looking skin. Famous men are also starting to jump in, particularly in industries like film and television where a recognizable and appealing look is a mainstay to success. Hollywood icon Brad Pitt is purported to be a fan of Hungarian dermatologist Ernie Lazlo?s brand of cosmetic treatment, as well as the occasional celebrity spa resculpting facial.

So is it all hype? What could be in these magic potions that would make them able to demand a higher cost than your average dinner for two? Were you to be able to inspect these items you would find many familiar facial friends: amino acids, vitamins, kelp extracts, etc. ? nothing too far out of the ordinary ingredient list. Then there might start to be a few surprises, like a synthetic equivalent to the epidermal growth hormone found in the saliva of your favorite household pets.

This is not to say that adding exotic ingredients to an anti aging skin care product is solely reserved for high end buyers. If you check the label in your own favorite brand you might find synthetic snake venom peptide, purified snail slime, or bee mucous extract on the list.

Nor is the quest for younger looking skin a modern endeavor. Famous beauties throughout history have been noted patrons or creators of unusual facial regimens. Cleopatra, Empress Elizabeth of Austria, and England?s Queen Victoria, were all ?habitual users? of dermal treatments.

You are not alone if you find yourself craving a few less lines on your face, wrinkles on your hands, or rough edges on your elbows and feet. Depending on which anti aging skin care product you pick, you could find yourself in rarified company indeed! - 29957
