this may sound crazy.. but I have experimented with a lot of stuff and I mean a lot of different vitamins (very expensive ones lol), facial stuff, diets and this may sound kind of weird... but natural yoghurt reverses the 'appearance of ageing' at least in the face. it is still quite hard to tell the rest of the body since the face ages first and I am still in my 20s so there hasn't been too great of any ageing there. But it has made me look like im 18 in about 6 months of use. it is not water retention I assure you, I have thought so myself at first but I have stopped doing it at times to see if the effects then remain... and guess what... they do. the way I have been applying it is on the face and leave it there for about 45-60 min.. I have also found that doing it more than once a day seems to have an even greater effect.

I know Jeanne calment used to apply olive oil on her body and she is the oldest recorded person. I myself have tried olive oil and it had similar effects however the oil eventually gave me acne so I had to stop lol. Natural yoghurt doesn't affect the skin in that way. I also know that some nutrients can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin and just thought what if it is affecting more than just my skin ( I am hoping some biologists could experiment and do some tests to find out results ). again yea who would've thought... but try it yourself... also give it time to see visible results. some people are more observant and pick up on changes easier.

I am also posting this in the hope that if someone else out there makes some discoveries they will return the favor and share with the rest of us and not keep it to themselves lol!

also masako mizutani uses this and just google her and you will see how young she looks. she is 43 years old. also any comments would be appreciated haha

Your experiencing the effect of lactic acid on your skin. A better way to do this IMO, is to use a lactic acid peel. But at your young age, maybe what your doing is the way to go since the peel is much stronger.

well whatever it is doing this I swear to god it works.. is it possible it could have an effect on lifespan. I mean the skin is the largest organ. If it is being repaired by an outside source it means the body has to do less work, that possibly could be directed elsewhere right?

Never heard this theory before but there may be some truth to it. You using a good sunscreen? At your age, hell any age, it's the #1 product you can use on your skin to help keep it young.

[anonymousplease1]

yea not so much.. I used to notice the effects of the sun, but because this works so well I haven't rly needed to haha. anyways if flossing 'supposedly' adds around 7 years to life I don't see why this shouldn't add more. The only reason I see flossing helping is that the body doesn't have to go through the process of destroying the bacteria that may enter the bloodstream. If you are stopping your body going through the process of repairing the largest organ in your body I don't see why it shouldn't help even more (in my mind anyway haha) anyway at least I can feel good that I have now given people a way to help age 'gracefully' haha

[mustardseed41]

Sunscreens work in ways that no amount of yogurt on the skin ever will. What your doing is essentially exfoliating the top layer of the skin. Making it look fresher, younger. This is a good thing. A quality sunscreen, think zinc oxide, used properly, will help prevent UV damage from the suns rays which are the main culprit in skin damage. Best to prevent an accident than to clean it up. So to speak.
Although no sunscreen is 100% effective.

[anonymousplease1]

mmm good point, I will adhere to your advice haha.

also to anyone reading this topic... I would like to know if someone has tried cellgevity? it is a tablet that increases glutathione levels in the body.. while glutathione levels are not meant to be able to be increased by tablet. 'Nagasawa' the scientist who made it supposedly found a way. the reason I believe this is because I did some research on him and he previously invented a tablet to treat cyanide poisoning (usually needs to be treated intravenously) if this man found a way to do something similar with one substance - there may be a good chance he can do it with glutathione

[niner]

I thought that small thiols like NAC were able to replenished the reduced glutathione pool. I don't know about cellgevity, but I'm thinking about trying NAC. Mustardseed is right about sunscreen, particularly since you live in the land of photons. In fact, you need it even more if you are exfoliating, because you've removed a layer of protection. Exfoliation can do great things for your skin, although at your age you probably don't need much help. Exfoliation not only exposes newer layers, but it also encourages growth in ways that seem to be beneficial.

[anonymousplease1]

haha good point about the land of photons lol. I hadn't rly heard of NAC (from memory), shows how much you don't know about despite how much personal study of ageing you do lol. I rly like this forum I think its a good way for people all to present any useful information they have to others..

man I can already see the effects of ageing in people my age.. I reckon the earlier to start avoiding the effects the better...

[renfr]

NAC is the glutathione of the poor, if you really want to raise glutathione and you can't afford true glutathione then go for it but if you can afford liposomal glutathione prefer that latter, it has all the benefits of glutathione, lasts longer and doesn't have the side effects associated with NAC.

Wow!

[Luminosity]

Avoid sun exposure, toxins, vices and stress.

the difference is that even if you avoid all those things you will end up ageing physically aswell. Ageing becomes visible primarily through loss of collagen, it results in wrinkles, the sagging of facial tissue, gaunt (appearance). I have done some research about lactic acid, and while it may help facilitate collagen im not convinced it explains all whats happening with yogurt, also why would olive oil do the same thing (which doesn't have lactic acid). The reason im interested in collagen is that it also is on the inside of the body, and when I am using yogurt it does not seem to only work on the face (where I put it). The collagen on the inside of the body is extremely important. I am wondering if since my whole body begins to look younger whether it is "possibly" (although unlikely) that somehow if it affecting it on the inside aswell, since the bloodstream can absorb nutrients through the skin.

Quote "Collagen, the most abundant protein in the body, is a key component of many tissues, including skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and blood vessels. Biomedical researchers in the burgeoning field of regenerative medicine, or tissue engineering, often use a combination of stem cells and collagen-like materials in their attempts to create laboratory-grown tissues that can be transplanted into patients without risk of immunological rejection."

another quote http://www.ncbi.nlm..../pubmed/8552666

A fundamental question in the basic biology of aging is whether there is a universal aging process. If indeed such a process exists, one would expect that it develops at a higher rate in short- versus long-lived species. We have quantitated pentosidine, a marker of glycoxidative stress in skin collagen from eight mammalian species as a function of age. A curvilinear increase was modeled for all species, and the rate of increase correlated inversely with maximum life-span. Dietary restriction, a potent intervention associated with increased life-span, markedly inhibited glycoxidation rate in the rodent. On the assumption that collagen turnover rate is primarily influenced by the crosslinking due to glycoxidation, these results suggest that there is a progressive age-related deterioration of the process that controls the collagen glycoxidation rate. Thus, the ability to withstand damage due to glycoxidation and the Maillard reaction may be under genetic control.

What if instead of slowing the glycoxidation rate, you can give the body what was once there aka.. what glycoxidation destroys..

Also a study shown here http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8411329.stm shows that baby faced individuals live longer. and in fact of the identical twins the older one twin looked the more likely they were to die earlier. While longer telomeres were also in those that appeared younger. Now it may be that I am faking health by making my body look younger but I intend to find out.

While this may all sound a little ridiculous. I don't care, I trust my judgement enough to continue with it.

[daouda]

Avoid quinolones...

[zorba990]

There was a guy claiming to have a yoghurt that had cultures that produced telomerase but he mismanaged investor money and went to jail. Maybe there was something to that...

The first thing that came to mind is all the probiotics found in yoghurts, if they are beneficial for your stomach, I could see how they could be absorbed into your skin and be benificial there as well. Possibly protecting against other bacteria or stimulating growth.

I have to say I'm impressed. I went out and bought some natural yoghurt and applied it to my face as per OP's instruction. I did it twice, but was bothered by the "lactic(cheesy)" smell that it left on my face, despite showering to wash it off, and haven't done it since. Well now around a week later I'm noticing that the small wrinkles that had started to appear on my forehead look much better and my skin looks much healthier in general. I may try this again soon.

[anonymousplease1]

well im glad that someone listened to me and tried it! haha. actually thought everyone would think im crazy.. lol. But because I knew it helped I figured I might aswell post it, for those that would try it. I personally hardly notice the smell.. but I figure the benefits outweigh the cons anyhow. Well just keep in mind that if you do it most days you will have a far greater effect than if it were say once a week...
Its interesting though that smoking, alcohol and sugar also destroy collagen. anyhow if I manage to look the same in 10 years (in which case ill be 33) ill post some pictures. At the time being, it actually seems a very likely possibility, as long as I have natural yogurt lol. but I rly want to find out if it is having an effect on the inside. if it isn't, well that's another problem I will have to solve in the future.
