Where have all the good men gone + where are all the Gods?…. He’s gotta be strong, and he’s gotta be fast…..” These are lyrics from Bonnie Tyler’s 1984 mega hit I Need A Hero!
Well, that’s exactly how I feel about my skin at 47. This boy needs a hero!
It was almost like the stem cells whispered in my ear “Let Me Be Your Hero.” – just like Enrique Iglesias did to Jennifer Love Hewitt in the beginning of his video for Hero. I swooned then and I’m swooning now over how my skin looks using stem cells! Why? Because they deliver!
HOW DO STEM CELLS WORK?
They are little tiny bundles of magic for the skin. They bring skin cells the “zoom-zoom” they need to help this 47 year old man……look….we’ll say….35 on a really good day!
Here’s the deal. All the pro’s know that our skin cells start to grow in the lower layer of our skin – over time, these cells move to the surface where they eventually die and are exfoliated away. (Hopefully, by high quality exfoliating scrubs and cleansers). Ok, back to the anatomy lesson: those new skin cells get kick started by tiny little power house molecules released from our own stem cells.
“These stem cells can come from plants and flowers or even human tissue. Don’t freak out…”
So you can see that if we add stem cells to our skincare routine, we will be giving our skin a jump-start. These stem cells can come from plants and flowers or even human tissue. Don’t freak out over the human tissue situation. This tissue is donated to science, held to the highest standards and is 100% safe. There is no human tissue in any skincare products the stem cells are harvested. Just like there’s no actual apple in a product that has apple stem cell.
I reached out to a ton of pros in the beauty biz to find some of the hottest stem cell products on the market today and came up with a list that is really amazing!
