─━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⚛⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━─

Equipment Needed:

Small glass mixing bowl or beakers.

Small funnel and measuring spoons or milligram scale.

Amber glass dropper bottle for storage (protects from light exposure).

Clean stirring rod or sanitized spoon.

─━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⚛⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━─

Step-by-Step Recipe: (Makes ~30ml Serum)

Create the Base Solution:

In a clean bowl, mix 20ml of distilled water (pharmacy or grocery store) with 2g glycerin for hydration and to act as a base for dissolving other ingredients.

Add Antioxidants:

Dissolve 0.5g L-Ascorbic Acid powder into the base. Stir well. Vitamin C works best in a pH range of 3.5-4, so the acidic nature of this solution is intentional for stability and efficacy.

Incorporate Niacinamide:

Add 1g of Niacinamide powder to the mix. Stir until it fully dissolves. Niacinamide is water-soluble and works well in the slightly acidic environment created by Vitamin C.

Add Hyaluronic Acid:

Add 0.5g Hyaluronic Acid powder. Let it dissolve fully, which may take several minutes. Stir patiently as this creates the serum's slightly viscous texture.

Include Argireline:

Add 0.3ml of Argireline serum (if using powder, rehydrate per the package instructions before adding). This ingredient helps smooth out expression lines.

Soothing Agents and Antioxidants:

Add 0.5g Allantoin for skin repair and 0.3g Green Tea Extract for additional antioxidant power. Stir thoroughly.

Extend Shelf Life:

Add 0.2ml of preservative (e.g., Optiphen) to prevent microbial growth and extend storage life to ~6-8 weeks. Always store in the fridge to maintain freshness.

Finalize and Bottle:

Transfer the final solution into an amber glass dropper bottle using a small funnel. Label the bottle with the preparation date.

─━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⚛⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━─

Usage Instructions:

Apply 2-3 drops of the serum to clean, slightly damp skin in the morning and/or evening. Follow with a moisturizer and sunscreen (if applied during the day).

Shake well before each use.

─━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⚛⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━─

Storage and Shelf Life:

Store the serum in the refrigerator to preserve potency. Use within 6-8 weeks.

If the serum changes color (e.g., Vitamin C oxidizes and turns yellow/orange), it's time to discard.

─━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⚛⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━─

Potential Side Effects:

Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid): May cause irritation for sensitive skin; patch test recommended.

Niacinamide: Generally well-tolerated, but avoid pairing with AHAs/BHAs in the same routine as it may reduce efficacy.

Preservative: Rare chance of skin sensitivity. Patch test preservative if unsure.

─━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⚛⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━─

Notes on Ingredient Purification:

Many of the powders (e.g., Vitamin C, Niacinamide) are sold in high-purity, cosmetic-grade forms and do not require additional purification. However, always ensure you purchase from reputable suppliers with high customer reviews.

─━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⚛⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━─

This potent anti-aging serum combines scientifically backed ingredients in a safe, easy-to-follow process. The result is an affordable, fresh, and effective anti-aging formulation that rivals commercial products!

How to use salicylic acid and Retinol together

It may surprise you to learn that using Retinol and Salicylic Acid together to cure breakouts and lessen the appearance of skin ageing is safe and effective,

Incorporating Retinol and salicylic acid into your skincare regimen can be quite beneficial for addressing various skin issues, such as wrinkles, acne, and clogged pores. When appropriately applied, these are vital ingredients that can help revitalise your skin, improve its texture, and increase its clarity. But if misused, they can also be annoying, so knowing how to use them together is essential. Continue reading to find out how to use salicylic acid and Retinol together.

Salicylic Acid: What Is It?

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that dissolves dead skin cells and excess oil by penetrating deeply into the pores. It is renowned for:

minimising whiteheads and blackheads

cleaning the pores to prevent acne outbreaks by exfoliating the outermost layer of skin

Retinol: What Is It?

One type of vitamin A called Retinol speeds up the turnover of skin cells to show smoother, more youthful-looking skin. It supports:

wrinkles and fine lines

Over Pigmentation

enhancing the texture of the skin

Salicylic acid vs. retinol for acne

You probably want the best components in your skincare arsenal if you’re struggling with the ups and downs of adult acne: Salicylic Acid is one of acne’s worst foes, and Retinol is the gold standard for minimising the look of skin ageing, particularly the scars left behind by breakouts. Theoretically, this dynamic pair is all you need to overcome adult acne. However, when combined, typical Retinol and Salicylic Acid solutions can irritate the skin, weakening the skin’s protective layer and impeding your progress towards cleaner skin.

What skin benefits does salicylic acid offer?

Salicylic acid, the most widely used BHA, was initially made from willow tree bark. Because it is an oil-soluble exfoliator, it can dissolve dead skin cells and oils stuck in pores by penetrating your skin’s sebum.

Benefits of salicylic acid in general

Exfoliant: removes dead skin cells

Breaks down oil that has become stuck in pores.

Anti-inflammatory: reduces flushing

Antibacterial: destroys germs

breakdown of keratin by a keratolytic

How does Retinol benefit the skin?

Retinol, a robust and water-soluble antioxidant derived from vitamin A, accelerates the process of cell turnover and promotes replacing older, dead cells with new, living ones. Less dead cell accumulation reduces the possibility of those cells obstructing your pores.

Retinol relieves several skin conditions, such as:

Unknown

wrinkles and fine lines

Production of collagen

sun-related harm

Over Pigmentation

Many scientists are working to find ways to help people age better and stay healthier as they get older. One new study has shown that combining glycine and NAC could be beneficial for many areas of cardiometabolic health (1). Before diving into the details of the study, here’s what they’re capable of individually…

Glycine and NAC Benefits

Glycine: Not Just a Regular Amino Acid

People often think of Glycine as a common amino acid, but it does many things for our health:

Better Sleep: Glycine can help us sleep better and deeper possibly by playing a role in how the body cools itself, which helps us fall asleep (2; 3; 4). Glycine is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter on its own, and it may work as a precursor to GABA, a neurotransmitter that also promotes relaxed activities in the body (5).

Collagen Synthesis: Glycine is a part of collagen, which is important for our skin, healing wounds, and keeping our joints and muscles strong. Glycine supports collagen formation in the body (6).

Mood Support: Because glycine is inhibitory to the brain and nervous system, it may help balance out the excitatory activity of glutamate and other neurotransmitters – leading to a more balanced mood, and potentially less anxiety (7).

Metabolic Health: Glycine is not only deficient in those that are obese or insulin resistant, it can help regulate blood sugar levels (8; 9). Because of its role in collagen formation, a glycine deficiency can make it more difficult for tissues to heal from damage caused by high blood sugar.

Digestion: Glycine is a relaxing neurotransmitter and can help aid in “rest and digest” body functions. Glycine aids in the production of bile salts, which help us digest food better and play roles in detoxification (10).

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Emerging research hints at glycine’s potential anti-inflammatory properties, which could have broad implications, from managing “hallmarks” of aging, as well as chronic inflammation and auto-immune disorders (11). This may be related to its connection with glutathione synthesis, in which NAC is a precursor as well.

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC): A Broad Spectrum of Benefits

N-Acetylcysteine, commonly referred to as NAC, has a storied history in the scientific community, not only for its role when combined with glycine but also for its individual merits.

Antioxidant Powerhouse: NAC is good at fighting against damage in our cells (12; 13). It helps make an important “master antioxidant” called glutathione which fights harmful substances in our body (14).

Mucolytic Agent: Traditionally, NAC has been used as a mucolytic agent, assisting in breaking down mucus in the airways (15) This may make it a valuable tool in managing conditions like chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, or helping out with a stuffed nose (16; 17).

Neuroprotective Qualities: Like Glycine, NAC might help protect the brain. Studies suggest that NAC may have neuroprotective effects. It has been explored in the context of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, with some research suggesting its potential to slow down cognitive decline (18).

Mental Health: An exciting avenue of research has been the use of NAC in managing certain psychiatric conditions and substance use disorders. Preliminary results indicate potential benefits for mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, schizophrenia, and even helping with addiction (19). The potential combined effects of glycine and NAC might be even more interesting in this regard.

Liver Protection: NAC is occasionally used in the medical setting for acetaminophen (example: Tylenol) overdose due to its liver-protective properties. It can aid in replenishing glutathione, essential for neutralizing the harmful byproducts of acetaminophen metabolism (20). It’s found in many liver support formulas. NAC is one of my top choices for liver health and everyday wellness.

New Study on Glycine and NAC Benefits

The study looked at how Glycine and NAC (together called GlyNAC) affected signs of aging. 36 people took part. They looked at various health measures like oxidative stress and insulin resistance to blood pressure and body composition.

The research design was a randomized controlled study, where participants were administered either GlyNAC at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day or a placebo (alanine) at 200 mg/kg/day. The older adults underwent the regimen for 16 weeks, whereas the younger group for 2 weeks.

Assessments ranged from physical function tests, such as walking speed and grip strength, to markers indicating inflammation and oxidative stress. Additionally, they looked at body composition.

Key Outcomes of the Glycine and NAC Study

After 16 weeks of GlyNAC supplementation, older adults had:

A significant rise in glutathione levels, soaring up by 164%

A remarkable reduction in oxidative stress indicators, with a main marker improved by 72%.

Improved physical function was evident from improved gait speed, grip strength, and sitting-to-standing test results.

A 78% spike in fat-burning activity of the mitochondria. 

A considerable improvement in insulin resistance by 64%

Beneficial changes in inflammation markers (drop in IL-6, TNF-alpha, sICAM1, sVCAM1, and CRP), and a rise in anti-inflammatory IL-10.

Decreased waist size and blood pressure

Interestingly, many of the older adults in the study reached levels seen in the younger adults.

Improvements spanned a broad spectrum, from cardiometabolic health to physical function making the combined supplementation an exciting area of clinical nutrition.

Vilifying women for aging is people's way of coping with the inevitability of death and the passage of time. To vilify a woman for aging is to pretend aging is a choice, something that can be reliably delayed, controlled, or entirely forfended.

being more active on the internet has made me so much more violently against anti-aging. age is natural. everybody ages. i think we would all be happier if we just liked aging. aging is fine. let your skin wrinkle and let yourself have smile lines and let your eyes get droopy because that's proof that you lived. everything you did, everything you persevered through, even with everything. you're here. and your skin shows that.

EVERYTHING ON EARTH HAS A PURPOSE

Written by: Sunshine Belizar

            The most hated month of the year is June because of the falling mangoes. When I am cleaning our backyard, I’m irritated by the mango leaves that are falling, even the fruit. Mango trees produce fruit, which is good; however, when the fruit falls from the tree, it can create a mess in our yard. The fallen fruit can be rotten and attract undesirable pests, such as rats and insects.

            Having a mango tree in our backyard means it be difficult to maintain. Mango trees can also destroy infrastructure if they're too close to your house or any other buildings. It can also destroy the lines of electricity that are passing through the branches and leaves. In addition, the tree can drop fruits or branches onto the house, which can cause damage to the roof or other parts of the structure.

However, along with the disadvantages, there are always advantages. According to the study of Atienza (2021) that the local mango leaf extracts found as potential anti-aging, skin-whitening cosmetic ingredient. The research team studied the presence of polyphenolic compounds in the local mango leaves. It also looked into the local mango leaves’ antioxidant capacity and inhibitory effect against elastase and tyrosinase, enzymes that cause aging and darkening of skin. "Previous studies on foreign mango cultivars reveal that mango leaves are excellent source of polyphenolic compounds, which provides health benefits such as antioxidation, antidiabetic, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties, among others," the DOST- Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII).

With those citations, given the nature of life, we are unable to stop time. Even individuals of color, especially those with dark skin, are more likely to experience prejudice, neglect, and even discrimination by society here in the Philippines. Lighter skin is more respected than those who have dark skin. Because of the norms, people with dark skin are even using products like soaps and cosmetics to make them light skinned. They tend to use money only to be accepted by society. In life, don’t always look at the downside from a negative perspective; always think positively. Everything here on earth has a purpose, even if we hate that it exists. We cannot change it because it is already here on earth. I don’t expect that mango leaves can be helpful to people, especially to our skin. Likewise, I hated the mango tree because it was hard to maintain and messy. But it gives us benefits like food, shelter, medicine, and many more. My teacher once said that everything that we see today has its purpose here on earth; if one perspective, one thing, or even animals or human beings are extinct here on earth, the function of the earth will not function that way before. Overall, I appreciate what we see today, and when the time comes that we go extinct, at least we experienced what was before.
