Many people with freckles are looking for ways to get rid of them. On the other hand, they are also becoming a fashion trend as people add fake freckles to their makeup looks. However, CellaMD has laid down easy ways you can manage your freckles if they interfere with your confidence or bother you in any way. Continue reading this piece if you want to get rid of your freckles through simple, easy methods. What are Freckles, Exactly? Of course, you can recognize freckles on your body, but do you know what they really are? The term freckles refer to tan-colored or light brown spots that begin appearing on the skin, usually in clusters. Even though freckles may be genetic, no one is ever born with freckles. This suggests that they appear as you age, with factors triggering their appearance. Freckles are made out of skin cell clusters that contain the common skin pigment called melanin. They are quite similar to moles in appearance, except being flat and inside the skin. While freckles are neither painful nor harmful, they are often a result of sun exposure. Like open pores, acne, wrinkles, blemishes, and patchy skin, it is hard to get rid of freckles completely. They are as stubborn as they could possibly get. However, following a few simple steps can start showing results in some time. Get Rid of Freckles If you want to get rid of freckles on your face, chest, or back, here are a few easy ways to consider. Sunscreen As we already mentioned, freckles are a result of overexposure to the sun. While sunscreen can’t help get rid of freckles, it can definitely prevent future freckles. Make sure you always wear your sunscreen before stepping out of the house, even on days when the weather is cloudy. According to the American Academy of Dermatology,

• You should wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above
• It is important to apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before going under the sun
• Reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours is necessary

Laser Treatment Laser treatment focuses on targeting melanin, a skin pigment. It uses pulses of intense, focused light of specific wavelengths on affected areas of the skin. According to studies, a laser can effectively treat freckles by reducing their appearance or even completely eliminating them at times. According to a study conducted in 2015, laser treatment was successful at lightening more than half of the freckles in 62% of participants. It is a generally safe and painless treatment with few side effects. Although quite effective, laser treatment only starts showing results after a few sessions. Topical Creams Topical creams can also be helpful in reducing the appearance of freckles and lightening their color. You can use fading creams (creams with bleaching agents) if you want faster results. These bleaching creams contain ingredients like hydroquinone that suppress melanin production. However, bleaching creams can have some side effects, including skin discoloration, burning, inflammation, etc. If your skin is sensitive, you might want to go with restoration and repair creams like the Facial Regeneration Cream by CellaMD. This cream does not pose any skin damage risks and shows effective results.

Acne is an inflammatory condition, often chronic, that causes pimples, especially on the face. However, it can also appear on other parts of the body, such as your back, neck, chest, shoulders, and upper arms. Types of acne include pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, nodules, and even cysts.   It is a common skin condition that affects at least 85% of the American population, meaning 50 million people. Generally, you can suffer from acne at any age, but the common age ranges from 12 to 24 years. In fact, it is also a common sign of puberty as the sebaceous glands become active during this time.   These glands are responsible for producing oil, which eventually clogs the pores and causes acne. CellaMD has got you covered if you’re looking to learn more about back acne.   What Causes Back Acne? Bacne, or back acne, is a common complaint among people from different age groups. Both men and women can experience painful acne on their backs. This includes pustules, cysts, and even painful pimples. Before we get into what you can do about your bacne, it is important to understand what may be causing your back acne.   Sebum, or oil produced by the glands in our skin, is important for adding needed moisture to our skin and hair. However, excess production of sebum can be a problem when it groups with dead skin cells to form pimples.   Some factors that trigger acne are:   Medication: Taking certain medications like antidepressants or birth controls can cause acne as a common side effect.   Genes: In some cases, acne is also genetic. You are likely to develop and suffer from acne for quite some time if it runs within your family.   Hormonal changes: Hormones play a huge role in the formation of acne during the time of puberty. But, women may also experience acne due to the hormonal changes in their menstrual cycle.   Sweat: Sweat can trigger or worsen acne, especially if you trap it under tight clothes.   Stress: Stress is a direct contributing factor to acne due to various reasons. For the most part, stress can trigger changes in hormones.   Treating Bacne In most cases, it is not so hard to get rid of acne. In fact, making a few lifestyle changes can make all the difference. You can also make use of serums and creams that contain essential nutrients to promote healthier skin. You can treat your bacne by:   Exfoliating the skin: Use a gentle exfoliator that contains ingredients like salicylic acid. This will help get rid of any extra oil and dirt from the skin.   Showering after physical activity: You must not let sweat and dirt sit on your skin, so make sure you take a shower after you’ve been out and sweating.   Using tea tree oil: Tea tree oil can treat a variety of skin issues, including acne. It also kills bacteria that may be contributing to the development and growth of acne.   Eating healthy food: You are more prone to acne if your diet is not as healthy. Many food items that can increase your blood sugar level can also trigger acne. So, eat a balanced diet that contains vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, etc.     Sources: https://www.everydayhealth.com/acne/back-acne-treatment.aspx https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/107146#causes https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/acne/DIY/back-acne

It is hard to define what sensitive skin type really is as it means different things for different people. Generally, people with a sensitive skin type experience burning and stinging sensations due to the oversensitivity of their skin. This usually happens when the skin comes in contact with ingredients in skincare and makeup products.   On the other hand, some people with extremely sensitive skin also experience skin burning after exposure to the sun, hot temperatures, and sweat. At times, skin sensitivity can also be a result of underlying conditions like rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, etc. Other times, some allergic reactions can also be the reason behind skin sensitivity.   It is important to manage sensitive skin mindfully so as not to worsen the condition even further.   The Best Ingredients for Sensitive Skin People with sensitive skin are usually afraid of trying out new products on their skin as it is hard to predict the consequences. If you are someone with sensitive skin who struggles with getting your hands on the right skincare products, here are some ingredients to look for:   Green Tea Extract People with sensitive skin often suffer from irritation and burning. Soothing ingredients like green tea extract can therefore help with this issue. It is an excellent antioxidant that is helpful for slowing down skin aging. Green tea extract also maintains healthy moisture levels and calms inflammation.   Glycerin Glycerin is a humectant that is great for attracting and holding hydration. The ingredient is especially useful for hydrating the skin and maintaining moisture. Glycerin is a safe ingredient that does not irritate the skin.   Aloe Vera Aloe vera has amazing soothing properties that can calm inflammation and help deal with skin redness and irritation. Having aloe vera in a skincare product will not burn or sting after using the product.   Prevents Pigmentation Another issue that some people face is the discoloration of skin and pigmentation. This usually occurs at an older age. But with the help of hyaluronic acid, you can prevent age spots. It ensures that your skin stays youthful and radiant as it used to.   The Best Active Ingredients for Sensitive Skin Type Active ingredients in a product are the components that are added to treat specific skin concerns. Here are some that suit people with sensitive skin.   Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that naturally exists in our hair and skin. A common active ingredient today, it is quite gentle on the skin and does not cause irritation or other adverse effects. It is also a humectant, meaning it can deeply moisturize your skin for a radiant, glowy look.   Vitamin E Vitamin E is another antioxidant that is especially suitable for sensitive skin types as it has calming and soothing effects on the skin. Like Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E (sometimes labeled as tocopherol or alpha-tocopherol) is also a naturally occurring ingredient.   Besides being extremely hydrating and soothing on the skin, vitamin E can also strengthen and rebuild the skin barrier. You can also use this ingredient for wound healing.   Ceramides Ceramides are also naturally-occurring ingredients that are present along the protective barrier of the skin. You may feel irritation and severe skin sensitivity when the barrier gets damaged. In such cases, skincare products containing ceramides can repair the outer layers of skin. This ingredient is best for improving moisture, restoring skin barriers, and reducing signs of skin aging.     Sources: https://www.webmd.com/beauty/features/skin-care-ingredients-sensitive-skin https://www.skinvirtue.com/articles/6-of-the-best-ingredients-for-sensitive-skin https://www.byrdie.com/skincare-cocktailing-4683971

Wisdom is not the only thing that comes with old age. In fact, growing older also means getting wrinkles, dark spots, and other skin issues too. As you grow older, your skin goes through many changes. Unfortunately, we can’t turn back time and stay young forever.   But that doesn’t mean you can’t keep your skin youthful. The key to keeping your skin radiant and youthful is with the help of a routine. This routine, created by experts at CellaMD, will make you look ten years younger.   Steps to Follow for Younger and Healthier Skin Here are a few steps that you should follow to stay youthful:   1. Cleanse Your Face Twice a Day No matter what type of skin you have, cleansing is one of the basic skincare needs that everyone should follow. Use a cleanser twice a day and choose a formula that’s suited to your skin type. It will help you get rid of all the dirt in the pores and remove the toxins from your skin.   You can also start exfoliating your skin twice or thrice every week, depending on your skin. It will help get rid of any dead skin cells that build up.   2. Apply Moisturizers As you age, your skin begins to dry up. Therefore, it is important to use moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized. One of the major reasons wrinkles develop is a lack of hydration.   Look for a moisturizer that suits your skin and has components such as glycerine and hyaluronic acid. Petroleum jelly and oil can also keep the water in your skin from evaporating and help it stay hydrated. But make sure you’re cleansing your skin properly before applying oils and creams.   3. Make Serums Your Best Friend Once your skin is all clean, you can also apply a serum. The best thing about serums is that it is effective on just about all skin types and help hydrate and repair your skin. All you have to do is add 3-4 drops of serum to your skin and gently apply it to your face until it absorbs.   There are plenty of serums on the market, but CellaMD’s Deep Rejuvenating Serum is considered one of the best to keep skin feeling youthful and fresh.   4. Apply Sunscreen Applying sunscreen is one of the most important aspects of keeping your skin looking young. Many women neglect it and face the consequences as a result.   Make sure to apply sunscreen at the start of your day, just after you wake up. Sunlight and rays can prove dangerous for your skin. It can cause wrinkles, dark spots, and dehydration. Therefore, it is important to apply it before heading out.   5. Use Facial Regeneration Cream With the help of CellaMD’s Facial Regeneration Cream, you can increase the regeneration of skin cells that will help you look young. It uses a natural extract to ensure results within a few weeks. Using these creams is a great way to look young and beautiful.     Sources: https://www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care/anti-aging-routine-skincare#-look-after-yourself https://www.lorealparisusa.com/beauty-magazine/skin-care/anti-aging/the-best-skin-care-routine-for-aging-skin

Hyaluronic acid is trending these days. It is mainly due to its positive impact on skin and body. You will see this ingredient in almost every beauty product.   Hyaluronic acid plays a crucial role in moisturizing the skin and keeping it healthy. There are numerous ways skincare enthusiasts incorporate it into their routine. For instance, they may inject it, use it as an oral supplement, or in most cases, apply a serum. We at CellaMD have prepared a list of benefits of Hyaluronic acid for your skin.   What is Hyaluronic Acid? Hyaluronic acid is a gel-like substance that helps retain the moisture in our skin. It is one of the natural acids that our body produces to keep our skin moisturized. Hyaluronic acid is present in different parts of the body, such as joints, connective tissues, and different muscles.   As we age, our skin produces less and less hyaluronic acid. This reduces the elasticity of our skin and causes it to become wrinkly. This is why many people use the acid as a way to reverse the aging process. No wonder it is an ingredient in the best anti-aging creams and serums.   Benefits of Using Hyaluronic Acid Altogether, there are numerous benefits of using this acid. Here are a few of its notable benefits for skin:   1. Keeps Skin Hydrated As identified before, many people use this acid to keep their skin hydrated. They either use it as a supplement or as a cream. It shows massive benefits for those with dry skin and people with wrinkles. Using hyaluronic acid can increase skin hydration by up to 96% in just 2 months.   2. Anti-Aging Changes in levels of hyaluronic acid, which occur due to factors such as UV radiation, can cause wrinkles and other symptoms of old age. But by supplementing the acid in their routine, users can significantly reduce the appearance of symptoms such as wrinkles.   As we get old, our skin produces less of this acid. But by taking supplements or applying them as a cream, it fulfills the skin’s need for hydration.   3. Tighter Skin It is evident that no one wants wrinkly and saggy skin as they grow old. But as we age, our skin loses its firmness and begins to sag. But with the help of hyaluronic acid, you can overcome this issue to a certain extent. The acid will ensure that your skin remains firm and supple for a youthful appearance.   4. Prevents Pigmentation Another issue that some people face is the discoloration of skin and pigmentation. This usually occurs at an older age. But with the help of hyaluronic acid, you can prevent age spots. It ensures that your skin stays youthful and radiant as it used to.   5. Smooths the Skin Another important feature of hyaluronic acid is that it smooths the skin. Many people experience anxiety seeing wrinkles and symptoms of aging. But the acid ensures to reduce the roughness of the skin and smooth it out. Hence, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it is an important ingredient in the best facial serums.     Sources: https://www.nivea.co.uk/advice/skin/hyaluronic-acid-benefits-for-skin https://www.cosmedica-skincare.com/pages/10-benefits-of-hyaluronic-acid https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/hyaluronic-acid-benefits#smooth-skin

Why is saggy skin showing up across our neck, face and jawline faster than ever before? Why does that make us look older than our years? The answer is simple: It’s “Epidermal Aging” causing these ultimate signs of aging. So let me explain exactly what epidermal aging is so you can better understand how to fight back against sagging skin around the neck. You see, we all rely on stem cells to help us stay looking young. But it’s a special set of stem cells we need more than any other to look great. They’re called epidermal stem cells. And in case you didn’t know, these cells are found in the epidermis. That’s the outer layer of the skin. Epidermal aging sets in as we age. And it occurs because the epidermis takes a long time to push the healthy new skin cells to the surface. This makes the epidermis thinner, causing the skin to look saggy and loose... Especially around the neck. And we all know that a saggy neck makes us look years older than our actual age. The good news is, CellaMD has developed what’s called “Eternal Extract” to fight back against epidermal aging and saggy, loose neck skin. It’s the world’s first and only natural stem cell extract from special apples that can give women the skin of their dreams by targeting epidermal aging. When applied consistently you can tighten and firm up loose saggy skin and keep a firm, elegant looking neck. It’s part of why eternal extract was included in the Facial Regeneration Cream, alongside other ingredients like resveratrol, alpha-glucan, and hydrolyzed marine collagen. Now you can say goodbye to thin, fragile skin around the neck and face to bring back a youthful look. Click HERE to Try Facial Regeneration Cream today

This technology allows us to cherry pick the stem cells and create the eternal extract which is primed to enhance youth, beauty and confidence. Why Does Eternal Extract Work Better Than Botox? What makes Eternal Extract so amazing is that it’s the world’s first and only natural stem cell extract from special apples that can give women the skin of their dreams by targeting epidermal aging. Epidermal aging is scientifically linked to thin, aging skin. So you can apply eternal extract to breathe new life into tired stem cells and put an end to “epidermal aging”. The benefits of using eternal extract on a consistent basis are:

• Improved firmness, volume and elasticity of the skin
• Reduced appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, tired eyes, crow’s feet and turkey neck.

But most of us don’t have that kind of cash just laying around… So this kind of age reversing magic has been out of reach… Until now. World renowned experts have answered our prayers and brought ethical and inexpensive stem cell solutions to America.   But what are stem cells? And why are they considered so important for bringing back youthful skin? To put it simply, stem cells are special human cells that are able to develop into many different cell types. This can range from muscle cells to skin cells. So we all rely on stem cells to keep youth on our side. But there’s a special set of stem cells we need more than any other to look great. They’re called epidermal stem cells…   And in case you didn’t know, these cells are found in the epidermis which is the outer layer of the skin. That’s the only layer we see when we look in the mirror. Now while human stem cells are powerful for skin regeneration… The problem is it’s extremely expensive. Which is why when scientists recently found out that plant stem cells can do the same, it gave new hope to thousands of women worldwide. Today, plant stem cells hold exciting breakthroughs for anti-aging remedies. Because as research has developed on plant stem cells... Science uncovered what we believe is the key to renewing our youth, beauty and confidence at any age. Hidden in one of the most beautiful, rural parts of Switzerland is The Uttwiler Spatlauber tree. And it’s drawn the attention of many wonderful minds…   Because it turns out, the anti-aging secret was inside these plant stem cells from an apple. So many women ask...   Why does an extract from plant stem cells like apples work best? You see, research shows apple plant stem cells can increase your skin stem cell vitality and longevity.That’s because the internal fluid of these plant stem cells contains components that help to protect and maintain human stem cells - especially against UV light-induced death. Plus it’s been proven to fight back against deep wrinkles and aging.   In fact, a recent scientific study has proven the powerful anti-aging effects of apple plant stem cells on wrinkles and fine lines. Here’s what happened…   Scientists gave twenty lucky women aged 37-64 were given an extract from the plant stem cells of the apples for 28 days. Not only did EVERY woman report a visible reduction in wrinkles over the course of the month… Over two thirds of the group saw results in less than 7 days! That’s remarkable, given these women never dreamt they could turn back the clock on their skin without a big bill or needles. Now restoring youthful skin at home is possible! So look for products that contain science-driven, pure ingredients derived from plant stem cells to give your skin a bright, youthful glow.
