For years we’ve heard, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” so it seems, not only is the round red fruit good for a body, its great for the skin as well. According to doctors, stem cells derived from a rare Swiss apple, can preserve a person’s youthful look and skin vitality. According to Jeanette Jacknin M.D. of worldhealth.net, writes about the benefits of plant stem cells which she says, “When applied topically stimulate the skin’s own stem cells.”

Another ingredient du jour in skincare is Bearberry extract, made from the leaves of the bearberry plant. Infused into your skincare products, the extract is said to even out skin tone and brighten the skin simultaneously. Serums made with the Swiss apple ingredient blended together with the bearberry extract will ultimately minimize fine lines, and boost firmness and elasticity. Skin discoloration, caused by sun damage or hormonal influences, can diminish when you use skin care products with bearberry extract, as well. Age spots, freckles, sun spots and blotchy skin tone can transform into a more uniform, brighter younger-looking complexion.

Prevent Burns, Wrinkles and Cancer

No matter what skin care serum you choose, be certain to always use a good lotion or cream over it with a 30 or higher SPF. The American Cancer Society recommends a sunscreen with broad spectrum protection meaning it will protect against UVB rays, the main cause of sunburn and skin cancers and UVA rays, the culprit of premature aging and a contributor to skin cancer too. When selecting your sunscreen, be sure it is water resistant and realize you need to reapply at least every two hours and even more frequently if you are swimming or sweating. Other tips to ensure your skin care needs are met include avoiding direct exposure to the sun during the hours between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
