Space-age Skin Care Formula Created

From Botox and lasers to Kim Kardashian's favourite vampire facelifts, it seems that we have entered a new era in the fight against wrinkles.
But the latest addition to the litany of unusual lotions and potions about to take the beauty world by storm really could be described as out of this world.
Renowned Harley Street plastic surgeon Dr Yannis Alexandrides has developed a range of products  in collaboration with two space scientists who worked on the Soviet Space Program, responsible for a number of pioneering accomplishments in space flight over 63 years.

Galactic: Dr Yannis Alexandrides has developed a range of products, called 111Skin (left) in collaboration with two space scientists who had previously worked on the Soviet Space Program. The range claims to help maintain youthful skin

The formulations were originally created because astronauts reported skin problems such as thinning, dryness, increased sensitivity and delayed healing.
Once the program had been dissolved, the scientists kept hold of their patented formula, which they had supplied to astronauts to protect their skin while in orbit.
This formula is NAC Y² (a combination of NAC, Vitamin C and Escin) which increases Glutathione - the most vital antioxidant in our cells for maintaining youthful skin.
NAC and Vitamin C are essential for stimulating Glutathione which decreases during the body’s ageing process.
Escin, meanwhile, is a potent antioxidant that promises to increase blood circulation, promote stronger collagen production, and help transport NAC and Vitamin C directly to the cells.

Potent: The formula in each product is NAC Y² (a combination of NAC, Vitamin C and Escin) which increases Glutathione - the most vital antioxidant in our cells for maintaining youthful skin

Together, these ingredients claim to detoxify, hydrate and regenerate skin cells, working from within to strengthen the skin and fight damage.

Each 111SKIN product, sold in Harrods and costing between £40-£190, contains the patented NAC Y2 formula.
This potent antioxidant has been taken by astronauts in supplement form when in space for 25 years and is proven in NASA research to delay ageing and stimulate the body’s natural repair system. 
One such product in the range, the £117 Space Anti Age NAC Y2 - Facelift Day Cream, claims to heal skin whilst preventing scarring.
One of the hero products from the range is the 111 SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Cream - a potent anti-ageing concoction using rare diamond dust particles.

The galactic cream doesn't come cheap. Beauty aficionados desperate to turn back the clock must pay a staggering £599 for 50ml.
111 SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Cream claims to penetrate the deeper layers of skin in order to transport potent youth restoring ingredients including NAC Y2 formula, Collagen type I and III and Hyaluronic acid.

Out of this world: The £599 111 SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Cream contains diamond particles from space and was developed with the help of NASA scientists

Essie's Starry 'Lemmings'

Rare, discontinued nail polishes are commanding prices up to ten times their original value on eBay.
Colors such as Essie’s Starry Starry Night and Clarins’s 230 are selling for up to $250 on the auction site, to nail polish-obsessives who call themselves lemmings.
Danielle Frazier, a 28-year-old artist from Brooklyn told The New York Times that the appeal in searching for old polish is its ‘treasure-hunt feeling. It’s got a lottery kind of effect.’

In demand: Essie's Starry Starry night is so revered by nail polish obsessives known as 'lemmings' that it has recently sold for $250 on eBay

Sparkly sky: Lemmings search eBay for Starry Starry Night, but the color is so rare that it is not listed on the site at present

A bottle of Starry Starry Night (known as SSN to lemming bloggers) recently sold on eBay for $250, according to the paper.

Currently, it does not appear that more bottles of the shade are available through the online auction site.
The polish - navy with flecks of silver glitter - holds such meaning among lemmings that pendants and earrings painted with the sparkly varnish are now being sold on Etsy.
The blogger behind Vintage Seams & Things, who received a bottle as a gift, believes Starry Starry Night is worth every penny. She wrote: ‘This polish is absolutely worth the hype. The sparkle in person is one that is remarkable.’
The aforementioned blogger writes of the shade: ‘This polish is absolutely worth the hype. The sparkle in person is one that is remarkable.’

While slightly less rare, Clarins’s 230 polish - an irridescent formula that changes from burgundy to green to gold to orange in the light – is still in high-demand, despite having been discontinued in 2008.
The shade is so beloved that lemmings have nicknamed it ‘Unicorn Pee’ or ‘UP’ for short.
Bottles that have never been opened are currently selling on eBay for up to $157 dollars, while those that have been lightly used are selling for $99.

Pump Up - Boosting Plunge Bra

To be fair, Abbey Clancy is probably one of those lucky few who doesn't actually need a plunge bra but she sure looks great in those adverts for Michelle Mone's reissue of her OMG Ultimo plunge bra.
Yip, baby's come back with an added racer-back clip feature and is also 50% lighter
'with improved shape and straps to give optimum boost from every angle.' That last bit is especially important when you're a celebrity in danger of being caught out by those pesky paps when you least expect it.
However, in a world of three way mirrors and dresses with exotic rear detailing demanding closer inspection, now we all want to look good from every angle possible.
The M&S version on the carousel comes highly recommended but we also like Vero Moda and Elle Macpherson's creations due to their prettiness which you can show off in a strappy top or underneath a white Tee

Get Spotted in a Polk - Dot Dress

We’re pretty sure this is the first Fashion Finder we’ve done on Vogue McFadden, but if she continues to wear looks like this one it certainly won’t be the first! We love the model,
DJ and presenter's girly polka-dot dress, especially how she gave it a cool edge with eye-catching metallic accessories. This girl is definitely one to watch in the style stakes!
Vogue’s dress is from a boutique called The Ivory Closet in Limerick in the West of Ireland – it’s good to see the Irish Mrs McFadden wearing a dress from her home country!

The boutique allows you to borrow dresses on a three nightly basis – if you’re attending an event in Ireland give them a call and you can wear Vogue’s exact dress, or one of their other fab frocks.
Otherwise, we’ve picked four polka-dot dresses for our edit below. The Outnet has an affordable Valentino number which has a sheer polka dot feature like Vogue's, and Boohoo’s offering is a steal at only £24.99 – we’re going dotty for it!

Flipshopping: Spring Fever

Spring is finally here, and for those who’ve dealt with a frigid winter, the warm weather can’t come soon enough. While we wait for the flowers to bloom, we’ve been stockpiling everything we want to shop for this season in our Spring Fever magazine.

• There will definitely be some rain (we hope!), so to prepare ourselves, we love this camo take on the classic umbrella from Madewell.

• These cropped skinny jeans from Levi’s are a perfect transition into warmer weather. Wear them with ankle boots now, and with sandals when the sun’s out.

• In this fickle weather, a lightweight ombre sweater from Banana Republic is great for layering. Even though it’s for guys, it’s the perfect piece to steal from his closet.

• For a floral touch, this unisex cap from Zimmerman is subtle.

• And let’s not forget the spring holidays. The pastels, eggs and berries in this wreath have Easter written all over it.

Come Out Smelling Like Roses in A Floral Print Top

Sam Bailey is certainly glowing more and more by the day! She looked beautiful today in a floral print shirt, black skinnies and a biker jacket, which she paired with sky high heels. Be careful in those shoes, Sam!

A floral shirt is a must-have for your wardrobe this summer. The trend was started on the runway by Givenchy’s fall 2013 collection, which featured a pretty pink rose print set to a black background. Since then, the pattern has since been seen in different shapes and sizes on Jordan Dunn and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, to name a few.
Below, we’ve picked for black floral beauties like Sam’s that will add a feminine touch to any look. We’ve included a Givenchy number if you want to go designer, or for cheaper options ASOS and Oasis come up trumps. Wear with black skinnies like Sam or a leather skirt for an off-model duty vibe and life will surely feel like a bed of roses!

Instead Of Contacting

Instead of contacting your current insurer directly, you should first take quotes from at least three reputable auto insurance companies. This way you will get an idea about how much you should pay, after this you can ask your current insurance company to give you quote and you are in better state to negotiate your rates.

Femail Examines the Dangers From Sagging Eyes to Spots

Cheap, effective and, most importantly, quick, it is no wonder cleansing wipes have become a hit with busy women. They mean no more messing around with cotton wool or cream to take off make-up at the end of the day — you just wipe and go.
In fact, sales of cleansing wipes have doubled in the past year. But while this might be excellent news for beauty brands, it could be bad news for our skin, causing everything from spots to wrinkles.
Experts worry that wipes don’t effectively cleanse skin and, instead, smear dirt and make-up across it.
Worse, everything from the physical act of wiping the skin to the fluid the wipes are impregnated with can cause skin problems . . .

Although sales of cleansing wipes have doubled in the past year, they could be doing more damage to your skin than good

SAGGING EYES

Ever found yourself using a wipe to scrub at stubborn eye shadow or waterproof mascara?
‘Many women use wipes to remove eye make-up,’ says cosmetic dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting.
‘Because the cleansing lotions can be quite mild, it may take a considerable amount of physical force to get stubborn make-up off, thus risking harming the delicate eye area.’
If you’re dragging the thin skin around your eye backwards and forwards and up and down on a regular basis, you could be prematurely ageing it.
If you must use a wipe: Opt for a product designed for the eye area, as it’s likely the cloth and the cleanser will be formulated to take more delicate skin into consideration.
Leave the pad on the eye for a few seconds before wiping.
In our tests, Marks & Spencer Formula Daily Care Eye Make-up Remover Pads For Sensitive Skin (£4, marksand spencer.com) were most effective at removing make-up without dragging the skin.
Irritation
‘The cleansing fluid that wipes are soaked in contains surfactants — detergent-like chemicals that dissolve make-up and grime,’ says Dr Bunting.
‘If the surfactants are too harsh, they will irritate skin, especially as, without rinsing, some of those surfactants will be left on skin.’
That irritation can leave skin looking red or feeling sore and tight. It’s like lathering your face with soap and then not washing it off.
Moreover, while surfactants can irritate skin from a chemical perspective, if you get over-enthusiastic with a rough or textured wipe can cause irritation and even leave scratches.
If you must use a wipe: Choose one that’s developed specifically for sensitive skin, contains as few potent irritants as possible and has a very soft cloth. Try Aubrey Calming Skin Therapy Wipes (£7.49, aubreyorganicsuk.co.uk), which contain soothing aloe.

DID YOU KNOW?

People are judged more intelligent and attractive if their eyes wrinkle round the corners when they smile

DRYNESS

‘Alongside the surfactants, many of these wipes contain alcohol as this helps them cut through thick and tenacious make-up,’ says Dr Bunting.
‘However, while alcohol might clear stubborn lip-liner, it’s also effective at damaging skin.’
This is not ideal for anyone, but if you’re prone to dry skin, you have to be particularly careful about the wipes you use.
Dr Bunting advises anyone with rosacea or eczema to avoid wipes, as they can exacerbate conditions.
If you must use a wipe: Look for one that doesn’t contain alcohol but instead has moisturisers. Faith In Nature’s 3-in-1 Facial Wipes (£3.25, faithin nature.co.uk) are alcohol-free and contain vitamin E.
Wrinkles
Even if you’re not dragging at your skin, the fact that cleansing wipes often don’t clean skin as effectively means the pricey moisturisers you slather on afterwards could be a waste  of time.
Olay and L’Oreal carried out research that showed not cleansing skin thoroughly means you leave a barrier formed of dead skin and dirt. This results in less of the anti-ageing active ingredients getting to where they need to be in the skin.
In fact, one study showed 30 per cent more anti-ageing ingredients made it into the skin when it was properly cleansed, meaning that even if wipes aren’t giving you more wrinkles, they’re preventing you from treating existing ones.
If you must USE A wipe: Limit their use to rare occasions — no wipe will clear your skin as effectively as a proper cleanse .
If you’re using wipes regularly, you’re not getting the best from the serums and moisturisers you use afterwards.

Even though make-up removal wipes are supposed to clean your skin, they could be giving you spots

SPOTS OR ACNE

If you’re prone to spots or acne, a good cleansing routine should be the foundation of your regime. That means no wipes.
Not only do you run the risk of transferring bacteria around your face, rather than washing it off, but, according to Dr Bunting, if the cleansing fluid in your wipe is poorly formulated, it may clog pores and trigger breakouts.
If you must use a wipe: Try one that contains salicylic acid. This stops pores getting clogged and helps to break down blackheads — it can even have an effect on acne scarring. One of the best is Clearasil Daily Clear Deep Cleansing Pads (£4.29, boots.com).

ALLERGIC REACTIONS

Moist environments breed bacteria, and packets of cleansing wipes must stay free of bugs.
‘This means using preservatives, and the high percentages required to keen an open packet of wipes hygienic can irritate the skin and even trigger allergic reactions,’ says Dr Bunting.
Worryingly, the preservative methylisothiazolinone, or MI, which can cause blistering, red rashes and swelling, is common in wipes. It is even found in wipes designed for use on babies and in intimate areas. Experts believe it could be one of the most common causes of dermatitis.
If you must use a wipe: Scrutinise the ingredients and avoid any that contain MI.
It’s also worth steering clear of those that contain fragrance (usually marked as ‘parfum’) as this is a common cause of allergy. Simple’s Kind To Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes (£3.25, boots.com) don’t contain MI or fragrance, so many with sensitive skin find they can tolerate them.

The Safety Of the Vehicle Last Point

The last point is particularly important because the quality of the part can have a great bearing on the safety of the vehicle. Unfortunately, many poorly-made parts from off-shore suppliers have found their way into the market. The installation of these cheaply-made parts into a consumer's car can compromise the performance and safety of the vehicle. The cheaper parts also tend to fail earlier, often costing more money and grief for the consumer.
