NeoStrata Brings Pioneering Anti-Aging Technology to Hand Care

PRINCETON, N.J. (December 22, 2005) – Every year, American women spend millions of dollars on anti-aging face products in the hopes of disguising how old they really are. But what about the telltale fine lines and brown spots on the hands?

As one of the most exposed areas of the body, the hands are just as susceptible to the effects of photoaging – and are just as visible – as the face and neck. Commercial lotions that most people use for their hands are usually nothing more than an amalgam of water and mineral oil, which does nothing more than coat the skin so it “feels” softer.

NEOSTRATA, the company that revolutionized dermatology with its introduction of alphahydroxy acids to skin care, presents a series of treatments that bring breakthrough anti-aging and skin-lightening technology to hand care. These physician-developed products have been clinically proven to help re-texturize, protect and brighten hands that show accumulated physical and UV damage.

“Years of use and abuse exact a severe toll on the hands, leading to the development of a crepe-like skin texture and unsightly hyperpigmentation spots,” says Lynda Wilson, Vice President, U.S. Market Development at NeoStrata. “NeoStrata’s hand formulas use the ingredient technology found in our powerful anti-aging products to return hands to a more youthful, clarified appearance.”

NeoStrata’s hand care products deliver exceptional hydrating, smoothing and protecting benefits. A powerful blend of patented polyhydroxy, alphahydroxy and “bionic” acids stimulate and support skin’s cellular renewal process, smooth skin tone and pigmentation, while nutritive vitamins and botanicals defend against free radicals.

The Dos and Don’ts of Hand and Nail Care

Wilson stresses the importance of supplementing a targeted hand care regimen with lifestyle changes that are hand- and nail-friendly. Here, some suggestions on how to keep hands and digits in top condition:

For Hands

  • Make gloves your best friend. Wear rubber gloves when hands are in contact with harsh soaps, detergents or chemicals. Wear gardening gloves.
  • The glove compartment in your car is meant for just that: gloves. Stash a pair in there and make a habit of using them to protect skin from photodamage.
  • Regularly apply a vitamin-enriched hydroxy acid hand treatment, which moisturizes skin, smoothes out wrinkles and spurs exfoliation.
  • Avoid submerging hands in water for extended periods of time, which dries out and wrinkles skin. Be sure to lather on a product with specific conditioning and protecting benefits after water exposure.
  • Consider using a skin-lightening hand formulas to even out skin tone and lighten stubborn freckles on hands.

For Nails

  • Never peel off artificial nails; you might take off layers of your natural nail along with it. Visit a professional nail technician to have them removed instead.
  • Avoid using your nails to open soda cans. Instead, use the padded tips of your fingers.
  • Use oil-based nail polish removers, not acetone. Acetone is much more irritating and drying. Follow with a specially-developed nail treatment solution to condition and strengthen nails and cuticles.

Ordinary Lotions and Creams Just Won’t Do

Weekly use of this system will help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, refine pore size, smooth texture, improve clarity and firmness, brighten and even skin tone and give an all-over healthy glow, suppleness and smoothness to your skin.
  • Exuviance Hand & Nail Conditioning Crème: This creamy, non-greasy conditioning formula includes polyhydroxy AHA to exfoliate and smooth skin tone and pigmentation, and reduce the visible signs of aging.

You can clean your home, fruits, vegetables and meats with the same 'Aqueous Ozone' that spas and other companies use. Tersano's ‘Aqueous Ozone’ Cleaning Systemt is the world's most effective chemical-free cleaner. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ quickly oxidizes (kills) viruses and bacteria (including E.coli, Salmonella, MRSA, C-Difficil), mold, mildew and other contaminants on any item or surface - from toilets to bedspreads - before changing safely back into water and oxygen. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ is 3000 times faster and 50% more powerful than bleach and chlorine-based cleaners. It is 100% chemical free - no toxins, carcinogens or chemical residue - and safe for babies, pets and people with sensitive skin or those with strong reactions to normal cleaners. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ has long been used in water treatment, food sterilization and medical therapies for its remarkable anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. It sounds too good to be true, but the data show how effective the system works.
I'm a believer.
