We asked you which ingredient was NOT currently said to provide anti-aging benefits and your responses were all over the place. Here’s the answers. Were you right?
1. Frog Skin - True
27% of you thought that scientists were not using frog skin for anti-aging properties but unfortunately, you were wrong. This article about bullfrog skin containing antioxidants suggests that it may have an anti-aging effect. I’m not a big fan of harvesting amphibians for cosmetics so I can’t encourage it’s use.
2. Cactus Spines - Fake
Only 17% of you thought this was the fake but it was. There is no raw material company selling cactus spines as a natural, anti-aging ingredient. However, based on the Beauty Brains community of poll answerers, maybe they should. Most people believe that this is a reasonable ingredient to give an anti-aging effect.
3. Apple Stem Cells - True
This one tricked the most people. 34% of you thought this was the fake but it’s real. A company name Mibelle Biochemistry has introduced an anti-aging ingredient based on apple stem cells. Who knew apples had stem cells too?
4. Snake Venom - True
22% of you thought this one was fake but you were mistaken. Indeed, one cosmetic raw material company is marketing Syn-ake, a peptide derived from snake venom. I remain skeptical about this one as it is too conveniently similar to botox.
如果我們問(wèn)你時(shí)下哪些物質(zhì)不被視為能夠抗衰老,你的回答可能就如同下面所列出的一樣。以下就是答案,你對(duì)了嗎?
1.青蛙皮膚——正確
你們中27%的人認(rèn)為科學(xué)家們不會(huì)用青蛙的皮膚來(lái)抵抗衰老,但不幸的是,你們錯(cuò)了。這篇關(guān)于牛蛙的皮膚含有抗氧化劑的文章表明它可能有抵抗衰老的功效。我不是一個(gè)熱衷于使用兩棲動(dòng)物來(lái)美膚的人能,所以我不敢使用這一方法。
2.仙人掌的棘——錯(cuò)誤
你們中只有17%的人認(rèn)為這一說(shuō)法是錯(cuò)誤的,但它的確不正確。沒(méi)有一個(gè)原材料公司會(huì)將仙人掌棘作為自然的抗衰老的物質(zhì)出售。然而,根據(jù)美麗大腦社團(tuán)所作的投票結(jié)果顯示,這些公司可能應(yīng)該出售仙人掌棘,因?yàn)槎鄶?shù)人認(rèn)為它是一種有抗衰老功效的物質(zhì)。
3.蘋(píng)果核的細(xì)胞——正確
這個(gè)小把戲欺騙了你們中的大部分人。你們中的34%認(rèn)為這是錯(cuò)誤的,但其實(shí)這個(gè)說(shuō)法是正確的。一個(gè)名為Mibelle生物化學(xué)的公司最近就引進(jìn)了一種以蘋(píng)果核的細(xì)胞為原料的抗衰老物質(zhì)。
4.蛇的毒液——正確
你們中22%的人認(rèn)為這是錯(cuò)誤的,但并非如此。事實(shí)上,一個(gè)化妝品的原材料公司正在銷售一種名為Syn-ake的產(chǎn)品,其中的肽元素就是從蛇的毒液中提取的。我對(duì)此仍持有懷疑態(tài)度,因?yàn)檫@實(shí)在是和肉毒桿菌毒素太相像了。
