Vacationing at the shore led to a 5 percent increase in nevi (more commonly called “moles”) among 7-year-old children, according to a paper published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

Number of nevi is the major risk factor for malignant melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer. Melanoma rates have been rising dramatically over recent decades. More than 62,000 Americans are diagnosed with melanoma each year and more than 8,000 die.

The humble tadpole could provide the key to developing effective anti-skin cancer drugs, thanks to a groundbreaking discovery by researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA).

The scientists have identified a compound which, when introduced into Xenopus Laevis tadpoles, blocks the movement of the pigment cells that give the tadpoles their distinctive markings and which develop into the familiar greenish-brown of the adult frog.

Relastin Eye Silk is an eye cream designed to reduce signs of age around your eyes.  The first product clinically proven to promote the formation of elastin, it reduces crow’s feet, fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.

Elastin, if you’re not aware, is the protein responsible for bringing the skin back into place after it moves out of position by stretching or contracting, such as when you smile or frown. Production of this protein usually stops at some point during your teens, leaving the skin susceptible to forming lines and wrinkles.

Instead of trying to add elastin into your body’s largest organ by topical application, Relastin works to stimulate your skin cells to promote its formation.  With the connective fibers present, your skin springs back into shape, gaining visible changes in as little as two weeks.

During a clinical study of women between 45 to 59 years old, a 30-day use of Relastin Eye Silk created pretty amazing results, with 82% of the subjects seeing visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles and 75% enjoying notable improvements in eye puffiness.  Apart from that, majority of the subjects reported smoother and firmer skin as well as an improved feeling of elasticity.

Women who reviewed the product in Amazon had these to say:

Great product. I am 48 and I have been battling dark circles around my eyes since reaching adulthood. Over the years, I have used any number of products…this is the first product that I have used that I saw results immediately. I like the eye silk so well, I ordered the Revitalizer for the rest of my face.

I’m rapidly approaching 30. I don’t know if it’s my kids, my job or just nature taking its course, but I’ve got a fine crop of wrinkles starting around my eyes. I just started using Eye Silk a couple of months ago and, let me tell you, it’s helped a ton!

I’ve been raving about this product for a year, but I’m not sure anyone believed me. Well, I just got my new annual Best of Beauty issue of Allure and guess which product won best anti-aging eye cream? Relastin Eye Silk. I feel SO vindicated.

The Relastin Eye Silk, which uses Zinc Forming Complex to promote elastin formation, is available and in stock from Amazon.
