Death Sauce (an extremely hot brand of pepper sauce) may be the newest contestant in the fight against wrinkles.
Discovered by accident, the capsaicin in this blend has the power to fight the effects of aging on skin.
The story goes something like this: Blair Lazar, creator of the world’s hottest foods, was experimenting with some new variations of his hot sauce recipes.
He had some red pepper residue on his fingers and rubbed the skin around his eye. After the burning passed, he noticed that the wrinkles around his eye had disappeared and that his skin was significantly smoother.
In his quest to find even more uses for the hot pepper, he realized that he was on to something- and a new wrinkle treatment, [tag-tec]Biocap[/tag-tec], was formulated.
Research has shown that [tag-tec]capsaicin[/tag-tec] (what makes hot peppers hot) acts to increase blood flow to the skin, and it has anti-inflammatory properties, too. It is said that this ingredient can reduce fine lines and boost collagen production.

The “Lousebuster”- a device that looks like a blend of a hair dryer and a vacuum cleaner could soon be in a drugstore near you.
As it’s name suggests, the Lousebuster gets rid of lice, with a “near perfect success rate”, according to one of its inventors.
Children are prone to picking up lice while at school, and the treatment of choice has been special lice combs and insecticides. The problem is that the lice combs take a very long time to use, and most parents don’t feel comfortable about putting insecticides on their children.
The Lousebuster works by delivering very hot air right to the root of the hair, killing [tag-tec]lice[/tag-tec] and their eggs.
Because the device uses heat, and not chemicals, it is unlikely that lice will become immune to this treatment, as they have to some pesticides used in the past.
In clinical tests, this device killed 98 percent of eggs and 80% of living lice. The remaining lice appeared unable to breed, perhaps due to stress or sterilization due to the high heat. After one week, there were no lice left.
The device seems to work by rapidly dehydrating the lice- drying them out, as it were.
While the costs for initial equipment will be high, the inventors are confident that they can get the cost down and the required treatment cycle lessened from 30 minutes to 15: making this device affordable for school districts.
The Lousebuster is expected to come to market in a year or two, and, probably, a year after this, will be available in a drugstore near you.

A new study shows that coffeeberry, one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, promises good things for skin care. In clinical tests, Coffeeberry has been shown to decrease superficial damage from sun exposure and free radicals.
Coffeeberry does this by the fact of being made of four powerful phenol antioxidants. The fact that it contains so many phenols makes coffeeberry stronger and more effective than green tea, vitamin C, vitamin E, pomegranates and blueberries.
Coffeeberry is the primary ingredient in the Revaleskin skin care line, and has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It has also been shown to reduce skin pigmentation caused from sun overexposure and it has been shown to diminish skin inflammation in less than a month.
The coffeeberry in Revaleskin worked without any allergic reaction or adverse side effects.
Coffeeberry, as it sounds, comes from the fruit of the coffee plant (coffea arabica). This is the same plant which provides the coffee beans for your morning cup of joe. When coffeeberry is harvested before becoming ripe, it retains its peak antioxidant properties. Coffeeberry does not clog pores or irritate the skin.
