Alana: So, Ron, king of AminoGenesis and amino acids,

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what would you say are the warnings or advice that you have for women that are probably

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
harming their skin without even knowing it?

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Ron: That's a great question, because, you know, women and men these days

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are so bombarded with different skincare messages, so the first thing that I would

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
have somebody ask is, when you hear about a new ingredient, the first thing

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I would say is, what part of my skin is made of that ingredient?

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like, for instance, you see all these things.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You see gold dust and you see crazy things.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And so, my question is, what part of my skin is made of gold dust?

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
None of it.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think you have to be very, very careful, even about ingredients that sound

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like they would be good, like, for instance, there's a lot of products that have

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
pre-made collagen in them.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well, a lot of those products actually marine collagen or bovine, meaning from cattles,

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
collagen.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well, what part of my skin is made of cattle collagen or fish collagen?

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
None of it.

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, I think what you have to really look at, and how many ingredients have you heard about

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that were like all the rage, and then a year later, you never hear about them again?

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Alana: There's always fab ingredients that come around.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Ron: That's exactly right, so I think you have to use your own sense,

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like antioxidants are very, very good for the skin.

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Things that make sense for your skin.

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Something that helps with either the skin's ability to function, create more collagen,

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
more elastin, and stay hydrated.

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Those are the keys right there.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All these extraneous ingredients, really have to ask yourself, "Is that what my skin is made of

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and how is that supposed to help my skin function and look better?"

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Alana: Right. Sounds good.

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think that's a great motto to go by.
